Understanding the Different Phases of the Menstrual Cycle and their Impact on ADHD Symptoms
The menstrual cycle consists of four phases: follicular, ovulation, luteal, and menstrual. During the follicular phase, estrogen rises, improving ADHD symptoms and making socializing easier. The ovulation phase is similar to the follicular phase, with an increased drive to accomplish tasks and enhanced social skills. The luteal phase, characterized by lower estrogen and higher progesterone, can intensify ADHD symptoms and sensory issues. Protein and complex carbohydrates are essential during this phase to stabilize blood sugar levels. The menstrual phase, often associated with chocolate cravings, benefits from foods rich in magnesium and purple foods. Biohacking techniques, such as tracking and adapting nutrition, can optimize productivity and well-being throughout the menstrual cycle.
