ADHD & Disordered Eating: discovering a more intuitive way with food and nutrition with Dr Bunmi Aboaba and Aleta Storch

* All information about Kate's groundbreaking ADHD Women's Wellbeing Hormone Series is available here *

As we take a break for the summer holidays, we wanted to share some incredible interviews we have done over the last 12 months and bring together clips from guests that highlight various issues we all face regarding our ADHD. This week, Dr Bunmi Aboaba, one of the world's leading food addiction coaches and Aleta Storch, an anti-diet, intuitive eating ADHD dietician, talk about binge eating, disordered eating and how to make better nutritional choices for ourselves when we have ADHD.

In this episode, Kate and Dr Bunmi talk 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

Kate and Aleta also talk about:

  • Binge and disordered eating alongside ADHD
  • Why is binge eating happening with ADHD and discusses the notion of restriction and not necessarily bingeing
  • Dopamine seeking behaviour
  • Eating to prevent bingeing
  • Medication being an appetite suppressant
  • Preventing and understanding hunger with emotional dysregulation
  • Disembodiment and disconnection from knowing what we want
  • Being creative with food and keeping it simple with our nutrition
  • Using convenient food and making it all easier with pre-prepared food.
  • Removing shame about how we cook and eat
  • Finding freedom in doing things our way
  • Changing the script, doing something small every day
  • IBS and ADHD
  • Reconnecting to our bodies and checking back in.
