💗 ADHD in women is often underdiagnosed and overlooked.
So many women move through life silently carrying the weight of unmanaged ADHD—juggling all the things until one too many obligations cause everything to feel like it’s unraveling.

✨ Awareness is powerful.
When we recognize the signs early, we can better support ourselves and the daughters, sisters, and friends who may be struggling.

🌿 Gentle support matters:
• Consistent, restorative sleep
• Fewer distractions & less overstimulation
• Honoring your limits (this is not weakness)

There is deep healing in stillness. In quiet. In allowing your mind to rest. 😌
You don’t have to do it all—or do it alone.

💐 Happy Galentine’s Day
Celebrating women supporting women 🤍🤗

How do ADHD medications 💊 work? Who can benefit from them? What else can I do for attention 👀?

A study at Washington University reveals the importance of sleep 😴, in supporting students with .

"Stimulant medications affect arousal and reward, not attention networks. Cell. Dec. 24, 2025. DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2025.11.039"

'The findings...prescription stimulants enhance performance by making individuals with ADHD more *Alert* and *Interested* in tasks, rather than directly improving their ability to focus. The researchers also found that stimulant medications produced patterns of brain activity that mimicked the effect of good sleep 😴, negating the effects of sleep deprivation on brain activity.'

"These drugs act primarily on the brain’s reward🎉 and wakefulness 👀 centers, rather than on its attention circuitry."

Students with sleep 💤 deprivation showed the *most significant* benefit from stimulant ADHD medications. Their fMRIs showed wakefulness and attention 👀, despite sleep insufficiency, after taking prescribed ADHD medications. There was no statistically significant finding for students taking ADHD medications that got adequate sleep.

This highlights the effectiveness of ADHD medications 💊 for those lacking adequate sleep 💤

Happy Windy Monday! We have power and are open for business ✨

Did you know 'wind' is something we treat with acupuncture? Did your grandmother holler at you to wear scarves? When acupuncturists treat 'colds', we will diagnose and treat 'wind-cold' or 'wind-heat'. Wind can enter through the neck and mid-riff so don your scarves and toss those crop tops!

There are many power outages in our community and traffic lights down. We are happy to reschedule if that is preferred. Stay safe out there!
