Have you ever felt like you have no willpower around food, no matter how hard you try? What if it has nothing to do with willpower at all?
In this episode, I explore the 5 reasons women with ADHD may struggle with food, from forgetting to eat and emotional eating to all-or-nothing thinking, dopamine seeking, and difficulty recognizing hunger and fullness cues.
I explain why these challenges happen and share how you can build a food routine that works with your brain, rather than against it, so you can feel more in control around food without guilt or restrictive dieting.
I also share practical strategies to help you regulate your emotions, develop more flexible thinking, and create a sustainable approach to nourishing yourself.
If you're struggling with binge eating, food noise, night eating, or feeling stuck in the diet cycle, I offer 1:1 sessions to help you stabilize your eating and rebuild a healthier relationship with food. You can book a session here: https://stan.store/mindfoodsteph/mindfoodsteph_funnel_52681
