  • As a dentist's daughter, I have to admit I was always spoiled when it came to my dental health. That is, until a terrible root canal (is there any other kind?) made me realize I had to start taking my dental health more seriously, even if that involved wearing the dreaded night guard I had cast aside many years before. It also got me thinking: 'Wait, is this another thing that is somehow related to my ADHD?'

    After diving into the research and taking a poll in our Facebook group, I discovered that an overwhelming number of ADHDers have experienced dental problems at some point in their lives, and there are some explanations as to why.

    Join me for a solo episode, where I break down the causes of this correlation, and share helpful suggestions from our Facebook group members, and hopefully convince you to learn from my mistakes and wear your damn night guard!

  • In this episode of ADHD for Smart Ass Women, Tracy talks about women, ADHD and hormones. She starts out by thanking those female pioneers, most of whom have ADHD, for leading the charge in teaching us about what ADHD looks like in women. Experts like Dr. Kathleen Nadeau, Dr. Ellen Littman, Dr. Patricia Quinn, Dr. Sari Solden, Dr. Sandra Kooj who she has learned so much from.

    Tracy shares why ADHD has always been about boys, how ADHD looks different in girls, the biggest problem among health care practitioners that impacts women, why girls/women are often misdiagnosed, who struggles more with ADHD, men or women, how societal pressures and gender role expectations affect ADHD women, her thoughts around perfectionism and ADHD, how estrogen impacts ADHD symptoms and is not stable during our lifespan, new research about hormone-related mood disorders that may impact ADHD women, whether or not there's such a thing as adult-onset ADHD, and some information on whether it is dementia or ADHD.
