In this episode, I sat down with Jenna to chat about something that doesn’t get talked about enough—what weight loss looks like when you’re dealing with ADHD or other mental health stuff.

We covered a lot: things like executive dysfunction, food aversions, meds that mess with your appetite—all the stuff that can make the usual “just meal prep and track your calories” advice completely unhelpful.

Jenna shared some really practical tips for meal planning when your brain isn’t exactly playing nice, and we talked about why setting realistic expectations is so important—especially if you’ve been hard on yourself for not doing it “perfectly.”

If you’ve ever felt like weight loss just isn’t made for brains like yours… this one’s for you. Because it is possible. You’re not broken. You just need a different approach—and we’ve got you.
