We connect the dots between ADHD and perimenopause, tracing how shifting hormones intensify brain fog, mood swings, and executive dysfunction while piling onto the invisible load many mums carry. We share lived experience, research highlights, HRT realities, and practical supports that make daily life kinder and more doable.

• hormone shifts lowering estrogen and impacting dopamine regulation
• perimenopause amplifying ADHD symptoms and cognitive fatigue
• mood volatility linked to progesterone fluctuations
• shame, masking and feeling judged for executive dysfunction
• HRT formats, access, risks and reported benefits
• research gaps in studies excluding or not segmenting ADHD women
• the invisible load of parenting, sensory overwhelm and burnout
• practical supports: ADHD coaching, mindfulness, habit stacking
• tools and apps for reminders, routines and externalizing tasks
• supplements like magnesium glycinate and omega‑3s for sleep and focus
