7. Breaking binge eating cycles with ADHD
"We're moving toward a peaceful outcome with food and with yourself"
This week’s episode is with Dr Bunmi Aboaba, a food addiction coach helping her clients achieve a healthy relationship with food to meet long-term health goals. Dr Bunmi’s work covers the full spectrum of disordered eating, including overeating, compulsive eating, emotional eating, and other associated patterns. She is also the author of 'Craving Freedom', a new book for those wanting to build a healthy relationship with food.
A leading authority on food addiction, Dr Bunmi also supports nutritionists, nurses, teachers, health and fitness professionals, dieticians and medical clinicians to help their clients achieve long-lasting results.
Kate and Dr Aboaba talked about
- Food addiction and disordered eating alongside ADHD and menopause.
- The subconscious mind and body around food, binge eating, dopamine, depletion, unhealthy relationships with food, craving, shame, regret, guilt, self-esteem and self-compassion around food disorders.
- The connection between alcohol addiction or food addiction and ADHD
- The power of rituals as an anchor, using micro-moments of dopamine.
- The Stop technique to help our stress response to food
- The power of accountability and a buddy system
- Working with and not against ourselves
