Healing The Binge-Restrict Cycle of Disordered Eating With Those Also Navigating ADHD with Aleta Storch

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

More and more adults in the U.S. are being diagnosed with adult ADHD. For many with adult ADHD, there is an overlap in struggling in their relationship with food. The impulsiveness that comes with ADHD can lead to binge eating or emotional eating behaviors and the time blindness can lead to restriction as a person forgets to eat which can spark the restrict-binge cycle. 

For some (not all), ADHD can be a reaction to past trauma. If it didn’t feel safe to be here, your mind scatters itself in a million different directions. The binge-restrict cycle can also perpetuate as these food behaviors give a focus and something that can be completed when presence feels threatening to the body.

In this week’s episode, I chat with Aleta Storch about the overlap between ADHD and disordered eating, why someone navigating ADHD may be drawn to diet culture, and tips for ensuring adequate nourishment is coming in while navigating patterns of ADHD, which can be supportive for any person trying to create more consistency in their eating day.
