Savana Antonation, MSW RSW

Do you have ADHD and feel like your eating patterns and relationship with food feel chaotic? There’s a reason why! In this episode I sit down with an anti-diet Nutritionist, Ellen Biemiller, and we discuss all things ADHD and having a healthy relationship with food that doesn’t include diet culture. 
Here’s everything that we cover: 

  • which ADHD symptoms can contribute to a stressful and chaotic relationship with food 
  • the differences in the way an ADHD brain functions which can make eating feel more difficult 
  • eating as a sensory experience and what this means for those who are neurodivergent 
  • the ADHD and dieting shame cycle 
  • why the binge-restrict cycle may be more common in those who have ADHD 
  • my own experience through ADHD and how this has effected my relationship with food 
  • why Intuitive Eating is a great tool for those with ADHD 
  • what to focus on if you have ADHD and would like to feel less chaos in your relationship with food
