  • Rejection sensitivity disorder episode

    Hi Jolene, would love for you to devote an episode on those of us who are close family membrts or work colleagues of RSD sufferers. There seem to be zero coping skills for us even if we are aware of RSD, and we end up walking on eggshells in order to not upset the one witb RDD. It is draining on those around them and I have had to pursue my own therapy just to survive the interactions

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ADHD and Hormones in Women: Why Symptoms Change Across Your Cycle and in Perimenopause | Agnes K. Simone & Annika Joya
Q: How should someone track data to bring to a doctor?
Maintain a two-month calendar tracking medication timing and perceived effectiveness alongside period tracking, sleep, appetite, mood, and energy to provide concrete patterns for discussion.
ADHD and Hormones in Women: Why Symptoms Change Across Your Cycle and in Perimenopause | Agnes K. Simone & Annika Joya
Q: If medication seems less effective before the period, what should a patient do?
Discuss with the prescribing clinician about adjusting the dose and exploring non-pharmacological supports like sleep, exercise, and consistent meals; avoid self-adjusting dosage without medical guidance.
Endometriosis and Perimenopause: Can You Use HRT? | Hormone Doctor's Warning
Q: Why can endometriosis and adenomyosis symptoms get worse during perimenopause?
The symptoms worsen due to a combination of estrogen spikes or prolonged exposure, reduced progesterone to counter estrogen, and concurrent immune and microbiome changes; inflammation tends to rise as estrogen declines, which can amplify pain and lesion activity even as overall estrogen levels fall.
Perimenopause Hormone Therapy: What Women Need to Know About HRT, Progesterone & Estrogen
Q: How do you actually know what's happening with your hormones in perimenopause?
You track symptoms and, since there aren't great perimenopause tests, rely on behavioral clues and labs like FSH to gauge where you are, understanding that levels can swing up and down month to month.
The Hidden Cause of Brain Inflammation Doctors Miss | Dr. Pejman Katiraei
Q: What is the starting place for addressing sensory sensitivities and inflammation in kids?
Start by assessing the level of sensory sensitivity as a barometer of inflammation, then work to calm the inflammation through a combination of dietary changes, supplements or medications as needed, and by eliminating environmental triggers such as indoor toxins.
