🧠 NEW ADHD RESEARCH: GUANFACINE ISN’T JUST A “KIDS’ MEDICATION”

Guanfacine is getting another look in adult ADHD—and new 2026 research is adding to what we know about its use in adults.

Unlike stimulant medications, guanfacine works on alpha-2A adrenergic receptors, helping regulate signaling in the prefrontal cortex—the area involved in attention, impulse control, emotional regulation and executive functioning.

✨ Why might this matter for adults?

Guanfacine may be worth discussing when ADHD includes:

• Difficulty shutting the brain “off”
• Impulsivity or emotional reactivity
• Executive-function struggles
• Sleep difficulties
• Poor stimulant tolerance
• A need for a non-stimulant option

A new 2026 real-world adult study followed patients taking extended-release guanfacine for up to a year, adding important information about its effectiveness and safety outside of a traditional clinical trial.

But here’s the important part:

Guanfacine is not a stimulant—and it isn’t automatically the right medication for everyone.

It can cause sleepiness, dizziness, lower blood pressure and a slower heart rate, which is why dosing, blood pressure and response should be medically monitored.

For women in their 40s and 50s, there’s another layer we shouldn’t ignore:

🧠 ADHD
🌸 Perimenopause
😴 Poor sleep
😰 Anxiety
🌫️ Brain fog

can overlap—and sometimes amplify one another.

The goal shouldn’t simply be to treat “poor concentration.”

The goal is to understand WHY your brain feels different and build treatment around the whole picture.

At Mind & Body Renew, our goal is to look beyond isolated symptoms and support the body as a whole — including inflammation, hormone balance, energy, mood, sleep, and the way your body responds to ongoing stress.

Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) may be used as part of a wellness-focused approach to help calm excessive inflammatory signaling and support healthier immune-system regulation. For some patients, this may translate into improvements in discomfort, fatigue, brain fog, and overall well-being.

Pregnenolone is a naturally occurring hormone that serves as a building block for several important hormones involved in mood, cognition, sleep, energy, and the body’s stress response. When appropriate based on symptoms and laboratory findings, supplementation may help support a more balanced hormonal environment.

Hydrocortisone is a prescription form of cortisol, one of the body’s key stress-response hormones. In carefully selected patients with evidence of inadequate cortisol production, it may help restore more appropriate physiologic support for energy, blood pressure, metabolism, and stress tolerance. Because cortisol therapy requires thoughtful dosing and monitoring, treatment is always individualized.

Ketamine works primarily through the brain and nervous system and may be incorporated when mood, chronic stress, or nervous-system dysregulation are contributing to overall health concerns. Its effects on certain neuroinflammatory pathways may also complement a broader restorative treatment plan.

Together, these therapies can be thoughtfully combined to create a more comprehensive approach to inflammation control, hormone optimization, nervous-system regulation, energy, mental clarity, and stress resilience.

Your treatment plan is personalized to your symptoms, laboratory results, medical history, and response to therapy. The goal is not simply to treat a single number or symptom, but to help the body move toward a more balanced and resilient state.

Mature lips are one of the most rewarding—and one of the most challenging—areas to treat. ✨

As we age, our lips don’t just lose volume. We lose collagen, hydration, definition, and the structural support that keeps the lips youthful. Fine lines deepen, the lip border softens, and the corners of the mouth may begin to descend.

The goal isn’t to make mature lips look overfilled—it’s to restore balance and create a refreshed, natural appearance.

In many cases, beautiful results require more than lip filler alone. Supporting the surrounding tissues is just as important.

For this client, we combined lip rejuvenation with T-Shape skin tightening to improve the appearance of the lower face. By addressing both volume loss and skin laxity, we achieved a softer, more lifted, and naturally refreshed result.

✨ Mature lips deserve a thoughtful approach—not a one-size-fits-all treatment.

Natural. Refreshed. Beautifully You.
