Why Is Eating Well So Hard When You Have ADHD?

Why Is Eating Well So Hard When You Have ADHD?

This week, Sam and Katie are joined by GP, nutritionist and AuDHDer Dr Helen Lawal to unpack why food and ADHD can be such a complicated mix. From forgotten meals to bingeing on sugar, they explore the very real struggles many ADHDers face around eating- and why it’s not about willpower.

Dr Helen shares what’s going on in the ADHD brain when it comes to hunger signals, planning meals and managing cravings. She explains how executive function, perfectionism and shame all play a role, and why letting go of unrealistic food ideals can be a game changer.

Together, they discuss the power of small, sustainable shifts- like frozen food, repeat meals and cutting the shame- and why it’s okay to take shortcuts if it means your brain is getting what it needs.

Whether you're dealing with overwhelm in the kitchen or trying to find a better balance, this is a compassionate and practical look at how to support your body and mind without burning out.
