In this episode, I sit down with Emma Heutschi, a friend and fellow RP to explore her deeply personal journey with an eating disorder — one that ultimately led to her own diagnosis of ADHD. Together, we unpack the complex ways eating disorders can intersect with neurodivergence, including both ADHD and autism.

In this episode we discuss:

• How different eating disorders can present
• Why neurodivergent brains may be more vulnerable
• What works (and what doesn’t) in therapy
• The importance of individualized treatment
• How recovery is possible with the right support
