ADHD may be highly genetic but it shows up in different ways for different people. Understanding more about your own patterns and behaviours can help you create a roadmap towards finding better balance.

Read our latest blog to find out where genes are likely to play a role including:

👉Feeling wired but tired

Do you find yourself eating impulsively, chasing something sweet for a quick lift, forgetting to eat for hours, or feeling as though your appetite has a mind of its own?

Impulsive eating can be more common with ADHD

In reality, eating habits can be shaped by dopamine and reward pathways, executive functioning, emotional regulation, sleep, blood sugar changes, and the difficulty of creating consistent routines.

This September, I’m delivering a new four-week live online course with Seed Talks:

Eating Habits and ADHD: Understanding Impulsive Eating

Across four weekly workshops, we’ll explore:

Week 1: The link between ADHD and impulsive eating

Week 2: Creating more regular eating patterns without rigid rules or restriction

Week 3: How sleep and blood sugar can affect appetite, cravings, energy and focus

Week 4: Understanding triggers, challenging unhelpful beliefs and planning habits that work in real life

We’ll look at the overlap between impulsive eating, binge eating, emotional eating and wider appetite dysregulation.

Most importantly, you’ll leave with practical, judgment-free strategies that work with your ADHD brain, rather than expecting you to rely on willpower.

Each session is live and online, with time for your questions.

The course starts in September and tickets are available now.

Book your place through the link in my bio.

I’d love you to join me. Ask any questions below 😊

Do you find yourself eating impulsively, chasing something sweet for a quick lift, forgetting to eat for hours, or feeling as though your appetite has a mind of its own?

Impulsive eating is common with ADHD, and in my clinic work, I see how much distress it can cause.

In reality, eating habits can be shaped by dopamine and reward pathways, executive functioning, emotional regulation, sleep, blood sugar changes, and the difficulty of creating consistent routines.

This September, I’m delivering a new four-week live online course with Seed Talks:

Eating requires more than appetite.

We often think eating starts with hunger.

You feel hungry. You find something to eat. You eat it. Simples.

But for many people with ADHD, there can be a challenging number of steps between those two things.

Before you’ve taken your first mouthful, your brain may already have needed to:

* notice that you’re hungry
* shift your attention away from what you’re doing
* decide what to eat
* remember what food you have in
* plan and sequence the steps
* find the ingredients and equipment
* initiate the prep
* keep track of time
* stay with the task until the food is ready
* sit down long enough to actually eat
* notice when you’re becoming comfortably full before you feel uncomfortably full

That’s actually a LOT of executive function for something we expect ourselves to do several times every day. And if you’re a parent, partner or carer, you need to do this not just for yourself, but others.

And it can help explain an experience I hear so often in our clinic:

“I was hungry. I knew I needed to eat. There was food in the house. I just couldn’t seem to get from knowing that to actually eating.”

Or simply:

“I forgot.”

This isn’t necessarily about appetite.

And it certainly doesn’t mean somebody doesn’t care about their health or doesn’t know what they “should” be eating.

Sometimes the difficulty is in all the steps needed to turn hunger into food.

That’s why nutritional advice for ADHD needs to consider more than what is on the plate.

Sometimes making eating easier matters just as much as deciding what to eat.

Did you know that eating uses every one of your senses, not just taste and smell?

For many neurodivergent kids and adults, sensory differences can have a huge influence on food choices, appetite and mealtimes. This isn’t about being “fussy” or “difficult.” It’s about how the brain receives, filters and responds to sensory information.

Most people think about taste, smell, texture, sound and appearance. But three equally important senses are often overlooked.

• Interoception helps you notice hunger, fullness, thirst and nausea.

• Proprioception tells your brain where your body is in space. It can influence how comfortable chewing, swallowing and using cutlery feels.

• Vestibular processing helps with balance, movement and head position, which can affect sitting at the table, certain seating and chair positions or even feeling comfortable while eating.

When these sensory systems work differently, food can feel unpredictable, overwhelming or simply harder to manage.

Understanding sensory eating can help us moves us away from seeing behaviors issues and towards curiosity, adaptation and practical support. What do your senses tell you about food and eating?
