This week we’re diving into one of the BIG questions that comes with an ADHD diagnosis: “Do I go down the meds route, or not?”

Whether you’re fresh from diagnosis, still in the “do I / don’t I?” limbo, or simply curious about how ADHD medication actually works, this episode’s for you.

Here’s what we cover: ✨ Why the meds-or-no-meds question feels so loaded ✨ What ADHD meds actually do (and what they don’t!) ✨ My own titration journey (the wins, the wobbles, and the hormone curveballs) ✨ How your cycle can impact how meds feel + a free tracker to spot patterns ✨ Things to consider if you’re sitting on the fence ✨ Alternatives and complements to meds — from coaching to oils

 

💡 Spoiler: This isn’t about “right or wrong.” It’s about tools — and you get to decide which ones work for you.
