Distracted: ADHD

Supermarkets, impulse purchases, dopamine snacks, the black hole that is the fridge... we're talking all things food and ADHD eating habits this week!

We're not going into nutrition as that simply isn't our remit, so we'll wait for a professional on that front. Instead, we're giving insight into our biggest struggles and tips around food.

Can people with ADHD meal prep? More to the point, do they even WANT to?!

TW: If you're triggered by food chat, portion control etc. it might be worth skipping this one

Thanks so much for listening x

This is a big one... and it's been a long time coming. It's fundamental to minimising stress on a daily basis and can be HUGE for helping to manage your ADHD. It's self-compassion, baabbyyyy.

We hope this will encourage you to go a bit easier on yourself and give yourself the love you deserve <3

As always, thanks so much for listening! x

This week, we're joined by Matt Buff, founder of Get Dopa, an ADHD-specific supplement company, to explore the intersection of nutrition and ADHD management.

As someone who has navigated the challenges of ADHD himself, Matt shares his journey of creating a product that aims to enhance focus and well-being for others in the community. His insights into the role of supplements in ADHD well-being are both enlightening and empowering.

We had a fab conversation with Matt and we hope his story resonates with you, whether you're dealing with ADHD or supporting someone who is.

This week we're joined by Alexia Harrison, counsellor, psychotherapist and eating disorder specialist, to further discuss body dysmorphia and the crossover with ADHD.

Having suffered with body dysmorphia herself, as well as also having ADHD, Alexia provides some real, honest and first hand insight into these issues. 

We absolutely loved talking with Alexia and we hope it can help you too, either if you’re suffering with this yourself or know someone who is.

TW: There is some mention of eating disorders in this episode

This week we continue the theme of work, and this somehow opens the podcasting door to a much bigger, more personal story from Kat about her experience with body dysmorphia. That's the beauty of podcasting, you just don't always know what's around the corner.

We have Patreon and it would be amazing if you could support us! No stress if not, link below...

This week we look at journalling and it's importance on maintaining a healthy conversation and relationship with yourself. It can be a great tool to help us work through all the racing thoughts, but sticking with it can be tough.

Alongside some general tips around journalling, Jack and Kat read through some of their old journal entries from before the penny dropped around ADHD. It's a pretty vulnerable ep!

We've also included some of your messages in this episode, we love receiving them so please do keep sending them in.

Brace yourself for some - depending on how you look at it - shocking confessions from Jack and Kat in this episode.

Diving back into the ADHD home, with a focus this week on the bedroom and the thing that must not be named...

(laundry)

We ask that you enter into this episode with an open mind and free of judgement; we'd all like to wash our sheets more often but it's HARD OUT HERE.

New episodes out every Monday
