Did you know there may be a connection between an ADHD diagnosis and struggling with disordered eating behaviors? 

Studies have been examining possible connections between ADHD and disordered eating behaviors including binge eating, restrict-binge patterns, eating for stimulation (so not for physical hunger), and more. 

I am fascinated. This is the second time I'm talking about ADHD on Speaking of Hungry and I definitely plan to talk about it more.

In this episode, I chat with Aleta Storch, a Washington-based RD, therapist, and Certified Body Trust (R) Provider. We discuss: 

• Aleta's personal ADHD diagnosis and past struggles with food; 
• why people with ADHD struggle with interoceptive awareness and connecting to hunger and fullness signals;
• the top struggles for clients with ADHD and their relationship with food such as eating for stimulation, forgetting to eat, overwhelm when it comes to shopping and prepping food, meds that may suppress appetite, and more; 
• how emotional dysregulation causes ADHDers to seek ways to control food through restriction or use food to cope with emotions. 

Aleta is a wealth of information when it comes to living with ADHD and trying to navigate nutrition, food, and disordered eating behaviors.

In this last episode for 2021, I'm exploring the world of kids and snacking. 

Crystal Karges and I dive into everything parents want to know about kids and snacks. We chat about the usual, "normal" snacking stuff that makes parents nuts and explore what to do when your child may be sneaking food. 

What do you do if you want to raise an intuitive eater but it seems like your kid's diet is 90% Goldfish and cookies? 

Why are our kids so drawn to snacks? 

What is the building blocks to a "better" snack option, while also keeping in mind the things our kids love like cookies and candy? 

How do you deal with finding hidden wrappers or witnessing your child sneaking food? 

If our child is sneaking food, what are some of the top reasons this is happening? 

How can we be proactive in preventing food sneaking and shame wrapped around the foods our kids enjoy? 

So many of us have dealt with disordered eating most of our life. We don't want our children to deal with shame and guilt around food.  Yet we also have concerns over the typical "kid diet" and aren't sure how to navigate structure and nutrition while trying to raise an intuitive eater. 

Check out the episode as I know Crystal will have answers to so many of your questions!

What are your core beliefs about food? About your body? About health? 

Are your core beliefs getting in the way of healing your relationship with food? How are your core beliefs driving your decisions about what, when, and how much you eat? 

Dr. Lara Zibarras joins me in this episode to discuss core beliefs. She breaks down common core beliefs that her clients tend to hold on to and how we can shift our thinking in order to move forward with recovery from diet culture.  

It's difficult to heal from an unhealthy relationship with food when you are struggling to change what you believe about food and your body. First, we need to work on dismantling myths, breaking down unrealistic food rules, and challenging diet mentality. Then we can move forward with the actual steps toward healing.
