If you have ADHD and your anxiety spikes around ovulation… there’s one neurotransmitter you need to know about — and it’s probably not the one you’re thinking of 👀

It’s not dopamine.
It’s not serotonin.
It’s not norepinephrine.

It’s histamine.

Yes — the same chemical you associate with hay fever 🤧
But it’s also a neurotransmitter that helps regulate dopamine and serotonin in the brain.

When histamine levels are higher, you might notice:

✨ Increased anxiety (especially mid-cycle)
✨ That wired-but-tired feeling
✨ Trouble switching off at night
✨ Insomnia
✨ Hay fever-type symptoms
✨ Feeling “on” all the time but exhausted underneath

Ovulation naturally increases histamine activity — so if you’re an ADHDer who feels more anxious, restless or overstimulated at this time of the month, this could be a piece of your puzzle 🧠

At Luna Wellness Collective, we look at the bigger picture — inflammation, hormones, gut health, histamine regulation — so we’re not just guessing.

If you want to see whether histamine might be impacting you, comment CHECKLIST and I’ll send you my histamine symptom checklist to review.

ADHD women & AFAB — you’re not “collecting diagnoses.” You’re seeing patterns. 👀

Research shows you’re statistically more likely to experience:

✨ Endometriosis (around 2x more likely)
✨ PCOS (over 50% of women with PCOS report ADHD)
✨ Migraines
✨ Autoimmune conditions (24% higher risk, with one large study showing 2.5x increased likelihood)

This isn’t random.

As an ADHD & women’s health naturopath, I often see shared underlying drivers across these conditions:

• Inflammation
• Immune dysregulation
• Insulin resistance
• Dopamine shifts
• Hormonal changes
• Histamine regulation issues

When we understand your individual biochemistry, we can stop guessing — and start building a plan that supports your moods, mental health and hormones in a way that actually works for your neurotype 🧠

If you’re tired of being told everything is “normal” but you don’t feel it…

ADHD isn’t a one-size-fits-all neurotype — and neither are supplements.

But if I had to choose 5 that I commonly use in clinic to support sleep, anxiety, focus, energy and mood, these would be high on the list:

• Magnesium glycinate – for calming the nervous system and deeper sleep
• L-theanine – for calm focus without sedation
• Tyrosine – to support dopamine production
• B vitamins – for energy and stress resilience
• Saffron – for mood regulation and emotional balance

Important: the “right” supplement depends on your biochemistry, medications, gut health, hormones and nutrient status. What works for one ADHDer won’t automatically work for another.

“Can I take supplements if I’m on ADHD medication?”

Short answer: yes — but it needs to be done properly. 🧠✨

I’m Kylie, an ADHD naturopath, and at Luna Wellness Collective we regularly support ADHDers who are taking stimulant medication and still need extra support with mood, sleep, emotional regulation or hormones.

Medication can be incredibly helpful.
 But for many people, it’s not the whole picture.

There’s research on:
🌿 Saffron — shown in studies to support ADHD traits, including when used alongside methylphenidate. 💤 Magnesium — often helpful for sleep and nervous system regulation. 🐟 Omega-3s — studied for emotional regulation and cognitive support.

The key? ✔️ Check interactions ✔️ Individualise ✔️ Work with your GP, psychiatrist or naturopath

This is not a “just add everything” situation. It’s about supporting your brain safely and strategically.

“Thinking about seeing a naturopath… but worried you’ll just walk out with a bag of supplements? 👀

Let me clear that up.

I’m Kylie, an ADHD naturopath, and when I work with ADHDers on mood, anxiety and hormones, we are not doing one symptom = one supplement. 🧠✨

Here’s what I’m actually thinking about behind the scenes:
🔎 Nutritional deficiencies Are low iron, zinc, B12 or magnesium contributing?
🦠 Gut health Because the gut–brain axis is real, and inflammation matters.
🩸 Hormones Are cycle shifts, perimenopause or thyroid changes driving mood?
🔥 Immune system + histamine Is inflammation playing a role?
🧬 Genetics Are there differences affecting dopamine, serotonin or folate pathways?

And then… the big picture.
 Because you are not a diagnosis. You are a whole human.

Instagram might make it look like ADHD = take this supplement and you’re fixed.
 Real life is more nuanced than that.

If you’d like to explore what’s going on in your body, comment INTRO and we’ll send you the link to book a 30-minute intro consult. 🤍

“Your hormones fluctuate too much to test.”
 “You’re only in your 30s.”
 “It might be perimenopause, what will it even tell you?”

Nope. ❌

I just got off a call with a client whose moods shift massively with her cycle — and she’d been told there was no point testing.

Here’s the truth: You can test hormones accurately… if you test them properly. 🧪✨

I’m Kylie, an ADHD naturopath, and I support ADHDers with their mental health, moods and hormones using functional testing and pathology.

Yes, hormones change across the month.
 That’s exactly why timing matters. 🗓️
✔️ Day 2 of your cycle
 This gives us a clear baseline for LH, FSH and androgens like testosterone.

✔️ Peak luteal (around Day 21 in a 28-day cycle)
 This is when oestrogen and progesterone should be at their peak — and it can tell us a lot about PMS, heavy periods, irregular cycles and mood changes.

When we test at the right time and compare cycles properly, we get useful data. Not guesswork.

If your moods are changing with your hormones, there are answers. 🤍

Comment HORMONES and I’ll send you my guide on how to test them properly.

I thought I just had anxiety my whole life.

Turns out… it was undiagnosed ADHD. 🤯

My first career was engineering. Details. Reports. Emails. Sitting still. All day. Every day.

And if you have an ADHD brain, you already know how that story ends. 🧠⚡️

The constant pressure to perform in an environment that didn’t suit my brain created anxiety. Not because I was broken. Because I was mismatched.

So I coped the way a lot of us do: 🍷 Alcohol 🛏️ Rotting in bed all weekend 🍕 Binge eating 🚫 No exercise

When I was finally diagnosed, everything clicked.

Yes, I worked on my biochemistry. I supported my gut after years of alcohol. I used targeted supplements. I understood my genetics.

But just as importantly?
 I changed my environment. I built a team around me who are brilliant with details. I stopped forcing myself into spaces that kept dysregulating my nervous system.

Sometimes anxiety isn’t just “anxiety.”
 Sometimes it’s an unsupported ADHD brain trying to survive. 🤍

I’m Kylie, an ADHD naturopath, and I share real, practical, evidence-based support for ADHDers navigating mood, hormones and mental health.

If you have ADHD and you’re trying to “intuitively eat”, “eat clean” and follow every TikTok nutrition rule… but you’re still skipping meals or feeling exhausted — we need to talk. 🤍

I’m Kylie, an ADHD naturopath at Luna Wellness Collective, and this is something I see all the time in clinic.

Let’s talk about spoon theory 🥄
ADHDers often have fewer “spoons” (energy units) to spend each day. And food decisions? They cost spoons.

Organic shops. Bulk food stores. Perfect macros. Clean ingredients. No additives.
It’s a LOT.

So instead of aiming for perfect, I teach a hierarchy:

1️⃣ Feed yourself. Full stop. One meal is better than none.
2️⃣ Macronutrients. Protein, fats, carbs if you have the spoons.
3️⃣ Micronutrients. Veg, fibre, colour.
4️⃣ Whole foods focus.
5️⃣ Organic and ultra-clean.

So many ADHDers are stuck stressing about level 5… when level 1 is the real priority.

You don’t need perfect.
You need practical.
You need enough fuel so your brain can function. 🧠✨

If you love this kind of no-nonsense, evidence-based advice that actually works in real life, give me a follow 🤍

Everyone keeps asking me…

“What supplements actually help kids with ADHD?”

So here are my top 3 👇
 And no — none of them are fish oil.

I’m Kylie, an ADHD naturopath at Luna Wellness Collective, and we support ADHDers with their mood, focus, nutrient levels and overall mental health — kids and adults.

✨ 1. Magnesium There’s solid research showing ADHDers often have lower magnesium levels. Magnesium supports nervous system regulation, mood and focus.

✨ 2. Iron (but only if deficient) Iron deficiency is common in ADHD. If your child struggles with focus and fatigue, get their iron levels tested first — then choose a quality iron supplement if needed. No guessing.

✨ 3. Saffron (Affron® extract) Emerging research shows saffron can support focus and inattention in children with ADHD. Look for the Affron® extract — that’s the one used in the studies.

And if you’re wondering which supplements are actually worth your money…
 Hint: it’s not the cheap supermarket gummies.

I’ve put together a masterclass breaking it all down — what works, what doesn’t, and how to do this properly.

When I first became a naturopath, I followed generic supplement advice.

“You’ve got ADHD? Cool. Take this, this, this and this. She’ll be right.” 🙃

How wrong I was.

I’m Kylie, an ADHD naturopath, and along with my team at Luna Wellness Collective, we support ADHDers with their mental health, mood and hormones using individualised functional medicine 🧠🌿

And here’s what I’ve learnt…

The treatment plan that works beautifully for one ADHDer might completely miss the mark for the next.

Because it’s not just about “ADHD supplements.”
 It’s about:
✨ Your individual biochemistry ✨ Your gut health ✨ Your hormone profile ✨ Detox pathways ✨ Diet + lifestyle ✨ Stress load and nervous system capacity

Short-form Instagram advice makes it sound simple:
 “You have ADHD? Take X.”

But it’s rarely that simple.

We don’t do one-size-fits-all. We look at the whole picture.

That said… I do love saffron 😅🌼 (one of

If you have ADHD and you’re exhausted, foggy, and overwhelmed all the time, this is something you need to know 👀🧠

Most people only think about this nutrient when they’re tired…
But it’s actually crucial for brain health and neurotransmitters ⚡

I’m talking about vitamin B12 💊

B12 plays a key role in methylation — a process that helps with:
✨ hormone detox
✨ inflammation
✨ energy production
✨ emotional regulation
✨ stress resilience

Here’s the problem 👇
I constantly see B12 sitting in the “normal” range on blood tests…
…but not high enough for optimal brain and neurotransmitter function.

So you’re told everything is “fine” —
yet you still feel flat, anxious, foggy, and burnt out 😵‍💫

If you want to know:
✔️ how to properly test your B12
✔️ what other nutrients I routinely test for in ADHD
✔️ and how to easily request these bloods

If you have ADHD and anxiety — there may be a chemical in your body making it worse 🧠🔥
 And it’s not “just stress”.

Histamine isn’t only about allergies or hay fever.
 It also acts as a neurotransmitter — and when it’s high, it can look like: • racing thoughts • irritability • poor sleep • feeling wired, agitated, or on edge

So if you’ve been told to “just breathe”, “do yoga”, or “reduce stress” — and you’ve tried all of that with no change… it might be because histamine hasn’t been addressed.

Histamine can be driven by: • oestrogen fluctuations • gut dysfunction • impaired detoxification and methylation

If this is giving you a few aha moments and you want to see whether histamine could be part of your anxiety picture, I’ve made a free Histamine Checklist ✅
