  • Unmasking Our Health: ADHD, IBS & the gut-brain connection

    Unmasking Our Health: ADHD, IBS & the gut-brain connection
    Oct 19 2026

    Episode 219 with Katy Weber & Kalin Johnson


    Welcome back to our ongoing series, “Unmasking Our Health,” in which host Katy Weber teams up with medical expert Dr. Kalin Johnson, PharmD, to look beyond the neurodivergent brain and explore what it means to live in a neurodivergent body.


    In this episode, we explore the relationship between ADHD and gut health, including IBS, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and abdominal pain. We discuss how the gut and brain communicate, why ADHD-related behaviors, routines, and medication can all affect digestion, and why a one-size-fits-all approach to gut health can miss what an individual actually needs.


    The conversation also looks at what supportive care can involve: listening to your body, making manageable changes, and finding a provider who’s curious about the whole picture — not just one symptom.


    In this episode, we cover:


    • What IBS is and how it’s diagnosed
    • How ADHD and gastrointestinal symptoms may be associated
    • The two-way communication between the gut and brain
    • How stress, routines, hydration, eating patterns, and body cues can affect digestion
    • Potential effects of stimulants, SSRIs, and antibiotics on gut symptoms
    • Why fiber, fermented foods, and other common recommendations aren’t right for everyone
    • How to look for care that considers ADHD and the whole person
    • Why small, sustainable changes may feel more manageable than a complete overhaul


    Note: Nothing in this episode constitutes medical advice. Always consult with your physician and pharmacist before starting, stopping, or changing any medication.

  • Greer Jones: The relief (and complexity) of an adult diagnosis

    Greer Jones: The relief (and complexity) of an adult diagnosis
    Oct 5 2026
    Episode 218 with Greer Jones.Greer is the creator of The Unfinished Idea, a community that supports mamas raising neurodivergent kids. After her son, husband, and later herself were diagnosed, she walked through a dark season of overwhelm, burnout, and isolation. Over time, she discovered people and rhythms that supported her neurodivergent brain, rebuilt her family’s routines, and found the lights that guided her out — community, real stories, and small wins that gave her hope again. Today, she uses her voice, lived experience, and practical tools to help overwhelmed neurodivergent moms feel understood, equipped, and confident in the lives they’re building.In our conversation, Greer shares what it was like to pursue an adult diagnosis in the UK, advocate for her neurodivergent son, and make sense of the ways ADHD has shaped her life. We talk about the relief of finally having an explanation, the grief and self-compassion that can come with looking back, and why ADHD in women doesn’t always look like hyperactivity on the outside.We explore what meaningful connection can look like when life is messy, schedules are unpredictable, and nobody has all the answers. And finally, we talk about the Beautifully Wired Summit — a free, three-day online event hosted by Greer, bringing together over 20 experts to share practical, real-life strategies for raising neurodivergent kids. From navigating meltdowns and school advocacy to creating doable daily routines, it’s packed with neuro-affirming tools that actually work. The summit takes place October 5th through 7th, and you can grab your free ticket right now by heading to womenandadhd.com/summit. I’ve also placed that link right at the top of the show notes for you.

    Unmasking Our Health: Hypermobility & hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS), Part 2
    Sep 21 2026
    Episode 217 with Katy Weber & Kalin JohnsonWelcome back to our new series, “Unmasking Our Health,” in which host Katy Weber teams up with medical expert Dr. Kalin Johnson, PharmD, to look beyond the neurodivergent brain and explore what it means to live in a neurodivergent body. After years of interviewing late‑diagnosed women and seeing the same patterns — chronic pain, fatigue, autoimmune issues, hormonal chaos, gut problems, “mystery” symptoms — Katy created the Unmasking Our Health series to explore the bigger questions behind neurodivergence: What if ADHD isn’t just about our brains, but about our whole bodies — and how and why is the medical system missing the full picture?In Part 2 of a 2-part series, we continue the conversation on hypermobility, hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and the often misunderstood symptoms that can show up alongside ADHD and autism. This episode focuses on the signs people miss, why those symptoms happen, and what kinds of support may help rather than hurt.Kalin explains the connective tissue and autonomic nervous system connections behind bruising, fatigue, digestive issues, migraines, dizziness, pelvic floor problems, and joint pain, while Katy shares personal examples of how these patterns have shown up in her own life.In this episode, we cover:A recap of Part 1, including hypermobility, hypermobile EDS, the Beighton score, and the connection with neurodivergenceWhy bruising, slow wound healing, nosebleeds, and fragile blood vessels can occurProprioception, balance, spatial awareness, and why “clumsiness” may be more than distractionFear of falling and the increased risk of pain or injury in hypermobile bodiesConstant bracing, muscle guarding, and why hypermobile people may feel exhausted even while restingDigestive symptoms, including constipation, bloating, slow motility, and dysmotilityMigraines, neck tension, craniocervical instability, POTS, and blood-flow regulationDizziness upon standing, fluid pooling, low blood volume, electrolytes, and compressionPelvic floor issues, urinary symptoms, incomplete emptying, and prolapseSkin texture, softness, stretchiness, and translucencyWhy aggressive stretching and yoga can sometimes worsen instability and painStrength training, swimming, pacing, and learning to stop before end rangeEstrogen, perimenopause, muscle building, and hypermobility symptomsCollagen, creatine, and what supplements can and cannot doExercise intolerance, internalized beliefs about laziness, and body shameFinding healthcare providers who are knowledgeable, curious, and willing to listenNote: Nothing in this episode constitutes medical advice.
