S2 E3: ADHD, Hormones & Latine Health with Stephanie Olano
In this episode, I sit down with Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Stephanie Olano, to unpack the complex relationship between ADHD, hormones, and health—especially in Latine communities. We dive into the impact of conditions like PMDD, thyroid issues, and chronic fatigue on ADHD symptoms and discuss the cultural stigmas that often stop people from getting the care they need. Stephanie shares insights on underreporting symptoms, advocating for medical care, and the importance of understanding one's own body. We also explore the "spoon theory" and how daily tasks and transitions deplete energy levels differently for neurodivergent folx.Topics Covered:Cultural stigmas around mental health in Latine familiesThe intersection of ADHD, hormones, and reproductive healthSigns of PMDD, thyroid issues, and chronic fatigue in ADHDersUnderreporting symptoms and barriers to seeking medical careNavigating medical appointments and advocating for better healthcareThe "spoon theory" and energy management for neurodivergent peopleThe emotional and cognitive toll of commuting and daily tasksConnect with Stephanie Olano, LMFT: Instagram: @todostherapyWebsite: https://www.todostherapy.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanieolano?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app🎧 Loved this episode?
