ADHD in women looks completely different. 🧠
Did you know? ADHD presents so differently in women than in men - and that's exactly why so many women go undiagnosed for years.

Dr David Campbell, GP with a special interest in ADHD, breaks down why:
✨ Hormonal & biochemical differences mean women often show internal symptoms (anxiety, emotional dysregulation, low mood) rather than the hyperactivity we typically see in kids
✨ Women are more likely to be missed at school because they're inattentive rather than disruptive - so they slip through the cracks
✨ When diagnosed correctly, the transformation can be remarkable - many women finally get answers after struggling with mental health for years
If you've felt like something was "off" but couldn't quite put your finger on it, this might be worth exploring with your GP.

Supporting Men’s Health & Welness

MEN’S 8-WEEK MOMENTUM PROJECT

Starting Monday 20 July

Not every man who needs support looks unhealthy.

Sometimes it’s the bloke who’s still going to work every day, looking after everyone else, but quietly running on empty.

Maybe you’ve noticed your energy isn’t what it used to be. Your routine has slipped. Stress has been building. You’ve put on a few kilos, you’re not sleeping as well, or you’ve simply lost the consistency you once had.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

The Momentum Project is an 8-week men’s health and wellbeing program designed to help men get back on track through practical, sustainable lifestyle changes.

Over the program we’ll focus on nutrition, movement, recovery, stress management, healthy habits and accountability—giving you the knowledge, support and structure to create lasting change.

Your registration also includes full access to all Bulletproof Health & Performance training sessions for the full 8 weeks, with early morning sessions in Tuggerah and evening sessions in Wyong.

Men only
Starts Monday 20 July
Special introductory investment: $249

If you’d like to know more, or you’re ready to take the first step towards feeling like yourself again, send us a message. We’d love to have a chat. See comments for more details

𝗔𝘀𝗸 𝗗𝗿 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗮 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗻: 𝗚𝗟𝗣𝟭 𝗪𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 💊

There's a lot of buzz around GLP1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Manjaro for weight loss. But how do you actually use them to lose weight and keep it off?

Dr Nicola Deacon, GP with special interests in women's health, mental health, and weight management, breaks it down.

The key? These medications work best alongside lifestyle changes - not instead of them. Think regular GP checkups, dietitian support, good nutrition, and exercise. The goal is sustainable, long-term weight loss that supports your overall health.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: These medications can kick-start your weight loss journey, but they're most effective when paired with:

🩺 Regular check-ins with your GP
🩺 Dietitian referrals to nail your nutrition
🩺 Exercise support (physio or personal trainer) to protect muscle mass
🩺 A holistic approach that focuses on the right kind of weight loss

"𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤," 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘋𝘳 𝘕𝘪𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘢, "𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺'𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦-𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘥-𝘢𝘭𝘭. 𝘞𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨-𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮 𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶."

Share this with the blokes in your life

15-21 June is Men’s Health week

Men are often great at looking after everyone else.
Unfortunately, many are far less good at looking after themselves.

This Men’s Health Week, the theme is:

“101 Reasons to See Your GP”

Not because you’re sick.
Not because something is wrong.
But because many of the biggest threats to men’s health are silent.

High blood pressure.
High cholesterol.
Type 2 diabetes.
Sleep apnoea.
Bowel cancer.
Depression and anxiety.

Many cause little or no symptoms until significant damage has already occurred.

The reality

Australian men are:

* Less likely to see a GP regularly
* More likely to delay seeking help
* More likely to die prematurely from preventable disease
* More likely to die by su***de

Yet a simple check-up can identify problems years before they become serious.

If you’re a bloke over 40, consider asking your GP about:

✅ Blood pressure

✅ Cholesterol and cardiovascular risk

✅ Diabetes screening

✅ Weight and metabolic health

✅ Sleep apnoea

✅ Bowel cancer screening

✅ Skin cancer checks

✅ Mental health

✅ Alcohol and lifestyle risk factors

Our message this Men’s Health Week

You service your car.
You insure your house.
You maintain your bike.

Your body deserves the same attention.

Looking after your health isn’t weakness.
It’s responsibility.

To your partner

To your children.

To your mates.

And to yourself.

One challenge this week

Think of one man you care about.

Your dad.

Your brother.

Your partner.

Your son.

Your mate from work.

Send them this post and ask:

“Mate, when was your last check-up?”

It might be the most important conversation you have this week.

Prevention is always easier than treatment.
