Feeding Yourself Well with ADHD and Beyond with Marilee Pumple RD


Listen Later

If you have ADHD, or wonder if you do, this episode is an important one…we’re talking all about how neurodivergence impacts your nutrition and the way you feed yourself with Marilee Pumple RD, dietitian with ADHD herself who has an enormous amount of experience helping others navigate nutrition in both neurodivergence and eating disorders. 

When I started this podcast, it was super important to me that we talk about, well, all sorts of topics surrounding wellness…and not just the ones you might expect.

Which is why today’s chat is so important to me: we’re gonna talk about how neurodivergence impacts your ability to feed yourself and, most importantly, tools that can help you thrive.

More than a few of my friends have ADHD - and interestingly, most received their diagnoses in adulthood, NOT childhood - so I’m grateful to have one of them, Victoria-based registered dietitian Marilee Pumple on the pod to talk about her experience with living with ADHD and her professional expertise in supporting folks with neurodivergence in navigating nutrition. 

Today’s episode is a must listen for neurodivergent folks and the folks who love them: we are going to cover nutrition considerations for both adults and kids, including navigating selective eating for parents! 

An important note before you listen: we are going to talk about eating disorders, both as part of Marilee’s lived experience but also as an important consideration in neurodivergence as the risk of eating disorders is increased. So if that’s not right for you, go ahead and skip this episode and we’ll see you next time!
