#168 How ADHD Impact Your Relationship with Food

Do you forget to eat… until you’re suddenly hangry and shaky?
Or eat past full & wonder “why did I do that?”

If food feels chaotic, confusing, or all-or-nothing - you are not alone.

In this episode, we’re unpacking how ADHD impacts your relationship with food - from missed hunger cues and hyperfocus, to dopamine-seeking, emotional eating, & food noise.

We cover:

• Why ADHDers forget to eat (and then it becomes urgent)
• The role of interoception, time blindness & medication
• Why overeating happens (and why it makes sense)
• Food noise, sensory “icks” & hyperfixation foods
• How executive dysfunction makes eating harder than it “should”
• ADHD, diet culture & all-or-nothing patterns
• Plus simple, ADHD-friendly supports to help improve your relationship with food & eating

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “bad with food”… This episode will help.
