đď¸ Episode Recap: How Your Cycle Impacts Your ADHD Symptoms
If youâve ever felt like your ADHD symptoms fluctuate wildly throughout the month, youâre not imagining it. Your hormone cycle plays a massive role in your emotions, and your emotions heavily influence your ADHD symptoms. Thatâs why understanding your cycle can be such a powerful tool for self-regulation, time management, and planning.
In todayâs episode, we dive into:
đż The connection between your hormones and ADHD
ADHD is already closely tied to emotional regulation, energy levels, and mental clarity. Your cycle adds a whole other layer to the mixâand knowing your phases helps you work with your brain instead of against it.đ A quick breakdown of the four phases of your cycle:
Menstrual Phase (Days 1â7)
Youâre bleeding. Youâre tired. You probably want quiet and alone time.
Energy starts low but tends to increase by the end of this phase.
Follicular Phase (Days 8â13)
Your energy is rising! Youâre thinking clearly, ready to be social, and starting to gain momentum.
Great time for brainstorming, planning, or starting big tasks.
Ovulation Phase (Days 14â17)
This is your superwoman window. You feel confident, energized, and magnetic.
Perfect for recording content, pitching ideas, batch-working, deep cleaning, etc.
Luteal Phase (Days 18â28)
Your energy gradually dips again. You might start to feel foggy or irritable.
If you have PMDD, this is likely the hardest part of your month.
Best time for maintenance, admin tasks, or wrapping up projects.
⥠Why syncing matters for ADHD:
You donât have to force productivity. You can plan for it based on your natural rhythms. We love gentle productivity around here.
Instead of burning out or starting over constantly, cycle syncing gives you a way to move consistentlyâwith flexibility and self-compassion.đ Quick tip:
Donât try to overhaul everything right away. Just start noticing. Track your energy, focus, and mood. See if any patterns emerge. That alone is a huge win.đĄ Want more support creating sustainable systems rooted in grace, not guilt?
