In this episode of The Beyond Body Show, Jen sits down with Dr. Jenn Gauthier—registered clinical counselor and researcher in high-functioning ADHD—to explore how ADHD shows up in the daily habits, struggles, and self-perceptions of ambitious women navigating health and fitness.
Together, they unpack:
What high-functioning ADHD actually looks like (and why most research misses the mark)
Why ADHD so often coexists with emotional eating, perfectionism, and low self-esteem
How executive dysfunction impacts motivation, food prep, and fitness follow-through
Tools like habit stacking, micro-actions, and dopamine resets (plus why timers and tech can be your friend)
Why identity-based behavior change works better than willpower (especially if you're neurodivergent)
The truth about ADHD medication, appetite suppression, and navigating nutrition as a high-functioning adult
And how women with ADHD often mask their struggles through success—until it stops working.
Whether you're diagnosed, self-identifying, or just suspect your "inconsistency" has deeper roots—this episode will leave you feeling seen, empowered, and ready to build systems that support your brain, body, and goals.
For high-achievers with a messy mind and a big heart—this one's for you.
