Good morning!

I'm thrilled to share an inspiring encounter from yesterday! While attending a cocktail reception focused on women's health benefits, I met a wonderful woman in the elevator.

🎧 This Week’s Health Beat: ADHD in Women

This week's discussion was inspired by insights from the ASPARD (American Professional Society of ADHD and Related Disorders) Conference, which a close friend of mine attended. She was deeply moved by the challenges that women with ADHD encounter and spoke highly of Dr. Margaret Sibley.
