| 0:00.0 | it looks like they're lazy, but they're not enjoying themselves. They're not just kicking back |
| 0:04.2 | like in a vacation vibe. They are stressed out in their mind. There's so many things they have |
| 0:10.1 | to do. They are so overwhelmed. So they just are shutting down in paralysis. Hi, I want to welcome |
| 0:16.0 | you to Midlife Conversations. I'm Natalie Jill, your host. And I help midlife women redefine and rebrand aging. |
| 0:22.7 | On this podcast, I do what I do best, taking complicated information and conversations around |
| 0:27.6 | aging that are relevant to us now and breaking it all down simply with actionable steps that you |
| 0:33.5 | can implement to level up your life because your best years are yet to come. |
| 0:42.4 | I also regularly interview some of the most inspiring people living in their best midlife years. On this show, I cover topics about our health, hormones, navigating weight, blood sugars, |
| 0:48.4 | our mood, focus changes, even our relationships, career changes, beauty, and more. |
| 0:56.3 | Welcome to midlife conversations. |
| 0:58.4 | I am really looking forward to this conversation today because not only do I have one of my |
| 1:02.6 | very, very dear friends on, but she's a fellow ADHDer. |
| 1:06.5 | So she's just like me with that, even though I think we have different types of ADD. |
| 1:10.2 | We're going to talk about that. She's a naturopathic doctor. She specializes in hormones, women's health. She can help a whole gamut of things. But because she is ADD herself, she fully understands this. And she's got an interesting take on how hormones can play a role in ADD and specifically how ADD symptoms can even worsen in midlife or be brought on in midlife. So I'm going to be asking her a lot of questions about this today. This should help give you clarity if you've ever wondered if you were ADD, if you wanted to know what you could do about it. I've got so many questions for her today. Thank you so much for being here today, Lauren. Oh, happy to be here. |
| 1:44.6 | I'm excited. |
| 1:45.3 | This topic I know is so important for women to hear about and they aren't hearing about it. So I'm very passionate about this. And just a quick funny story, all, just Lauren's my good friend. We, it's, I'm recording this right now. It's 9-11 Pacific Time. we were scheduled for 9 to 10.30 for this interview. |
| 1:44.8 | And at 902, |
| 2:06.2 | she was not on. And I texted her. I said, are you coming? I texted her like five times. |
| 2:09.9 | Then I called her. She's like, hey, what's up? I'm like, are you coming? She's like, |
| 2:12.7 | oh, we're scheduled at 930. No, we're scheduled at. So we already started the tone in Trudy, true. I love it, Lauren. But here we are. Here we are. And I actually, when it happened, at first I got, you know, the usual, what's wrong with me? I can't get my ish together, all that. And then I said, you know what, this is perfect. This is the perfect way to |
| 2:34.3 | start this particular topic interview. So it's so great. It's great. So I want to let's start |
| 2:39.2 | first with ADHD versus ADD. I want to know when you learned that you have it. And I'm just |
