Beyond Stimulants: Holistic Health Strategies for Aging with ADHD

In this empowering episode of the Grandma Has ADHD podcast, host Jami Shapiro talks with Dr. Erica Oberg—ADHD advocate, integrative medicine expert, and wellness speaker—about holistic ADHD treatment for women over 50 who are looking for support beyond stimulant medications. If your ADHD symptoms have felt more intense as you’ve gotten older—or if stimulants aren’t an option for you—this conversation offers science-backed, natural ADHD treatments that can help. Jami and Dr. Oberg explore how hormonal changes like perimenopause and menopause affect ADHD symptoms, including brain fog, emotional swings, clumsiness, and increased overwhelm. Dr. Oberg shares her own late ADHD diagnosis story and how she now helps others using a whole-person approach. From sleep hygiene and ADHD-friendly mindfulness to nutrition, genetic testing, and powerful natural supplements like magnesium, bacopa, and ashwagandha, you’ll hear real-world solutions for thriving with ADHD in midlife and beyond. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, struggling with focus and memory, or simply looking for non-stimulant ADHD strategies that actually work, this episode is packed with relatable advice and hopeful insights. It’s especially helpful for women navigating ADHD, aging, and hormone shifts—all at once.
