We kicked off with something rather different for us here at ADD-vance, but a subject that is hugely important to many of the parents we support. We had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Michelle Reshef (Brain Health with Dr Michelle on Facebook) for a deep dive into ADHD, Menopause, and Brain Health.

Key takeaways from the talk:

✨The Oestrogen Connection: the importance of oestrogen receptors in the brain, the impact of declining oestrogen and the interaction with ADHD

✨Research Insights: Evidence showing that neurodivergent women experience more severe menopausal symptoms.

✨Practical Support: Actionable strategies ranging from "knowing your numbers" to brain stimulation techniques and sleep strategies.
