An empowering guide blending science, nutrition, mindfulness, and medicine to help women understand, manage, and thrive with ADHD.
Researchers increasingly challenge outdated views, revealing women’s ADHD as biologically and psychologically distinct
Dr. Katherine Tidman brings a clear, science-based understanding to the often-overlooked experience of women with ADHD. Drawing from clinical research and practical application, the book explores how hormones, nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness shape focus, emotion, and overall well-being. It challenges outdated views that oversimplify ADHD as distraction alone, showing instead how interconnected the mind and body truly are. Through evidence-backed strategies and daily practices, readers learn to align medical treatment with lifestyle change. The message is straightforward yet hopeful: with knowledge and structure, women can build stronger focus, healthier habits, and renewed confidence in their everyday lives.
Fluctuating hormones influence dopamine and focus, making awareness of menstrual, postpartum, and menopausal shifts vital for management.
Balanced intake of omega-3s, magnesium, and vitamin D supports attention, mood stability, and emotional control in women with ADHD.
Daily mindful breathing and reflection reduce impulsivity, improve emotional balance, and strengthen focus alongside medical and nutritional strategies.
Dr. Katherine Tidman isn’t just a scientist—she’s a force of curiosity and courage. Holding a PhD in Cell Signaling and Developmental Biology from Johns Hopkins University, she spent years decoding cellular mysteries before life handed her one of its own: a diagnosis of Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. Instead of retreating, she turned her analytical mind toward survival and discovery. Through rigorous research, she uncovered how nutrition, supplements, and neurobiology intertwine to shape focus, energy, and emotional balance. As a mother of two, Katherine transformed her knowledge into advocacy, launching a consulting practice that helps patients translate scientific research into meaningful conversations with their doctors. Her work bridges the gap between laboratory precision and human experience. In her writing, she transforms complex neuroscience into accessible wisdom, helping women understand the powerful relationship between their minds, bodies, and hormones. Her book on women with ADHD stands as both guide and revelation—a blend of hard science, empathy, and lived truth. It reminds readers that understanding biology isn’t just about cells and circuits; it’s about reclaiming control, clarity, and confidence in daily life.
