Not Losing It: Menopause, ADHD and Brain Health
Does your mind feel busier, your focus less reliable or your mental bandwidth stretched thin?
Join Dr. Sarah Cheyette, Dr. Jessica Kassis and Dr. Trisha Schimek for a candid conversation about ADHD, brain fog and cognitive health in midlife. Together, they will explore how hormonal changes, stress, sleep and daily habits can affect attention, memory and executive function, including why existing ADHD symptoms may feel different during perimenopause and menopause.
Whether you have an ADHD diagnosis, wonder if you have been overlooking the signs or simply want to feel sharper and more grounded, this evening will offer expert insight and practical strategies for navigating the busiest months of the year with greater clarity and calm.
Text a friend and make an evening of it. Bring your sister, mother, daughter or another woman you care about.
