It is time to take ownership of your health.

Like all the good problems in the world, the problem Levana is striving to solve, was discovered through a personal experience.

When my son was diagnosed with ADHD four years ago, I was told it is hereditary and that I should get a diagnosis as well.

After I was diagnosed with ADHD (what I now know to be “the mommy effect“) I was soon referred to receive a treatment plan for my medication. I was prescribed Focalin 30mg.

As I was taking it daily, I noticed that the effectiveness fluctuated – some days the medicine was “working” and some days it was as if I wasn’t taking it at all.

As someone who tracks her cycle, I also noticed that there seemed to have been a correlation between the cycle’s hormonal fluctuations and the effectiveness of the medicine fluctuations. Surely, there must be a connection!

When I tried boosting with 10mg of medication on my menstruation days, my symptoms were improving.

I wondered if I was the only one experiencing this and started asking women around me – most of whom agreed that their medication is not consistently effective.

I looked into clinical research and found out that estrogen has a huge part in enhancing dopamine function while reducing ADHD symptoms.

This led me to a journey of finding a solution to this problem. One that puts women in the center, and their self reported symptoms as a means to titrate their medication, in sync with their hormonal cycles.

I need more women to join and start taking daily self reporting notes, so that the data shows the right fluctuations to correspond with the right dosage of your medicine.

I can’t wait to hear your story and see you self report every day!
