About this episode

The episode discusses common misconceptions about healthy foods and explores the relationship between ADHD and perimenopausal symptoms.

Leanne Ward and Susie Burrell call out the everyday foods women think are lighter options but really are not, from toasted sandwiches and sushi to rice crackers and hummus, plus new research on why women with ADHD experience significantly more perimenopausal symptoms and what to eat about it. Also: a 21-gram protein soup for $4.50 that is still one of the best finds in the supermarket, and the honest truth about whether matcha is actually better than coffee.
