Jolene Brighten
Many women unknowingly live their entire life with ADHD (often highly masked and quietly overwhelmed) until hormonal shifts in their late 30s and 40s make symptoms impossible to manage. Board-certified naturopathic endocrinologist and bestselling author Dr. Jolene Brighten uncovers the real reason ADHD symptoms often get worse during transitions like PMS, pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause, and beyond: hormones.
Drawing on clinical research, patient experience, and her own lived journey as a neurodivergent woman, ADHD and Women illuminates ADHD as a dynamic brain–body condition. Anxiety, PMDD, focus and memory struggles, lack of motivation, brain fog, sleep disruption, sensory sensitivity, and emotional dysregulation are not personal failures—they are symptoms of dysregulation that ADHD women are more likely to report when hormones fluctuate.
Dr. Brighten helps you discover your unique ADHD-Hormone profile and personalized plan for regaining focus and ending overwhelm.
Inside, readers will find:
- A 14-day reset meal plan designed to optimize hormones
- Comprehensive hormone strategies, including guidance on hormone replacement therapy specific to the neurodivergent woman’s needs
- Movement and sleep strategies tailored to the neurodivergent nervous system
- Mind-body tools to improve emotional regulation and support mental health
- A personalized ADHD blueprint to manage each hormonal phase of a woman’s life
ADHD and Women is your guide to learning how your brain and hormones work together, so you can finally make them work for you—not against you.

Critic reviews
“Dr. Jolene Brighten brings a timely, much-needed lens to women’s brain health. With clarity and warmth, she speaks to the real shifts in mood, focus, and mental clarity that can arise across hormonal transitions, and offers a supportive path forward for anyone seeking better answers.”—Lisa Mosconi, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of The XX Brain and The Menopause Brain
“Every day I hear from women with ADHD who spent years believing they were lazy, flaky, messy, or simply ‘not trying hard enough.’ The truth is, many of us go undiagnosed or misunderstood for decades, because ADHD often looks different in women than people expect. In this book, Dr. Jolene Brighten explores the science behind why that is, the role hormones can play, and practical strategies to help women with ADHD better understand and work with their brains, so they can build a life they love. This is the kind of resource I wish existed years ago.”—Jessica McCabe, New York Times bestselling author of How to ADHD
“Integrating neuroscience, nutrition, and hormonal health, this book sheds light on why ADHD in women is so often misunderstood and misdiagnosed. Dr. Brighten offers clear, actionable guidance to help readers support both their brain and hormonal balance through targeted lifestyle and dietary strategies, empowering them to improve focus, mood, and long-term cognitive health.”—Uma Naidoo, MD, nutritional psychiatrist, chef, nutritionist, and bestselling author of Calm Your Mind with Food
“Blending rigorous science with real-world insight, Dr. Brighten offers women something they’ve long been denied: a framework that makes sense of their experiences and an actionable path forward to gain greater stability, clarity, and control of their symptoms.”—Sarah E. Hill, PhD, author of This Is Your Brain on Birth Control and The Period Brain
