Healthy Happy ADHD Girls with Lisa Dee

In this episode of the Healthy Happy ADHD Podcast, I'm thrilled to announce my upcoming book, Healthy Happy ADHD: Transform How You Move, Eat, and Feel, and Create Your Own Path to Well-Being. This ADHD book for women blends science, wellness, and mindset strategies to help you thrive with ADHD. If you're looking for actionable advice that works for your unique brain, this episode is for you. For so long, ADHD advice for women has been generalized and often overlooked the real struggles we face. In this book, I'm diving deep into practical strategies tailored to the female ADHD experience—so you can break free from the overwhelm, anxiety, and burnout that too often come with living with ADHD. Whether you're newly diagnosed or you've been living with ADHD for years, Healthy Happy ADHD will show you how to embrace your neurodivergence, heal through movement, nourish your body, and shift your mindset to create lasting change. It's time to let go of self-criticism and take control of your wellbeing. Pre-order Healthy Happy ADHD today on Amazon or Barnes & Noble and start creating your own ADHD wellness roadmap!

Brain-Calming Movement: Walking uses both sides of your body alternately (left, right), which helps calm the brain. This is called bilateral stimulation, and it's similar to techniques used to reduce feelings of anxiety common in women with adhd. No Digital Stress: Phones can be overstimulating with notifications and information constantly streaming in. Leaving it in your bag, no scrolling, or listening to anything walking creates a break for your brain to relax. Focus on the Present: Without a phone, you pay more attention to your surroundings—like the sounds, sights, and smells. This grounding helps reduce feelings of overwhelm and increases bilateral stimulation.

ADHD friend, if it all feels too much, listen to this. The ADHD mind is busy, and sometimes it can override everything else. Get back into your body, ILY

you're an ADHD girl, I'm an ADHD girl... and we both need better quality sleep. Here's some relaxation tips that I've been doing recently that have really helped me get a deeper sleep at night, even with a busy ADHD brain and mind. Poor sleep makes ADHD impairments and symptoms worse, so let's find ways to calm ADHD at bedtime, and sleep better so we can be Healthy and Happy ADHD Girls. :) Research suggests that women with ADHD may experience challenges related to sleep for several reasons: Hyperactivity and Impulsivity: ADHD symptoms such as hyperactivity and impulsivity can lead to heightened arousal, making it more difficult for individuals to wind down and relax before bedtime. Executive Functioning Difficulties: ADHD is associated with executive function deficits, which can impact the ability to plan and organize daily activities, including maintaining a consistent sleep schedule. Mind Wandering and Racing Thoughts: ADHD is often characterized by a busy mind with constant thoughts and ideas. This can make it challenging for women with ADHD to quiet their minds when trying to fall asleep. Sensory Sensitivities: Some individuals with ADHD, including women, may have heightened sensitivities to stimuli, such as light, noise, or discomfort from clothing. These sensitivities can contribute to difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Co-occurring Conditions: Women with ADHD often have co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression, which can also impact sleep quality. Managing these conditions may contribute to improved sleep. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations, such as those occurring during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, or menopause, can affect sleep patterns. Women with ADHD may be more susceptible to the impact of these hormonal changes on their sleep. It's important to note that each individual's experience with ADHD is unique, and not all women with ADHD will necessarily have sleep difficulties. However, understanding these potential challenges can help individuals and healthcare professionals develop targeted strategies to improve sleep hygiene and overall well-being. If sleep difficulties persist, consulting with a healthcare professional is advisable for personalized guidance and support.
