Episode #191

In this episode of The Fasting Method podcast, Megan Ramos interviews Dr. Nadia Pateguana and her incredible daughter, Zinzi, about their new podcast - Forbidden. Dr. Nadia previously shared she was stepping away from TFM to focus on her daughter's health, as well as a big move to Dubai. Dr. Nadia and Zinzi share all of the incredible insights and work they've been doing to help Zinzi as she navigates disordered eating.

Megan and Dr. Nadia discuss how so many women are often undiagnosed with conditions like ADHD in childhood and how that can go on to impact their eating habits later in life.

• The importance of understanding neurodivergence, as ADHD often presents differently in women and girls compared to boys. [08:01] [30:25]
• The role of a supportive community, especially the Fasting Method Community, in providing guidance and a safe space to share their story. [13:41]
• Encouraging others, especially women, to advocate for themselves and seek proper diagnosis and support for ADHD and eating disorders, as these conditions are often overlooked or misdiagnosed. [15:54] [20:23] [26:28]
• Strategies Nadia and Zinzi have implemented at home, such as using calendars and schedules to help Zinzi stay organized, as well as avoiding restrictive diets and instead focusing on building a healthy relationship with food. [19:02]
