I’m excited to share a new podcast episode where I speak with the brilliant ADHDgirl about something that touches many of our daily lives: the relationship between ADHD and food.


🧠 Why Food and ADHD Are So Connected

For people with ADHD, food isn’t just fuel — it’s often tangled up with dopamine seeking, executive dysfunction, and even emotional regulation. In this episode, we unpack the complexities of eating with an ADHD brain.


💬 What We Discuss

  • Why people with ADHD often struggle with meal planning and consistency

  • The role of impulsivity and cravings — and why it’s not “just bad habits”

  • How executive dysfunction leads to skipped meals or last-minute snacks

  • The link between emotions, rejection sensitivity, and food choices

  • Our personal experiences, struggles, and strategies that help

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by cooking or guilty about food decisions, this one’s for you.
