Is It Really ADHD? Focus, Hormones & the Functional Medicine Lens with Christa Biegler, RD

In this episode of the Strength in Hormones podcast, we explore the deeper layers behind ADHD—beyond the common diagnosis and medication route. From neurotransmitters and hormones to micronutrients and brain inflammation, we dive into the functional root causes that often get missed. Whether you've been diagnosed with ADHD, suspect it, or just feel chronically unfocused and overwhelmed, this conversation breaks down what's really going on in the body and brain—and where to begin if you want a more holistic, hormone-informed approach to focus and mental clarity.
