Nourishing our body - and brain - through intuitive eating

Navigating healthy eating, food and nutrition alongside ADHD is a big topic and for this week’s guest, Aleta Storch -an 'anti-diet' dietitian, therapist, and certified Body Trust® Provider - this is her expertise.

Aleta specializes in providing anti-diet, values-centred, body liberation work with people who have a history of disordered eating, autoimmune conditions, and/or ADHD. 

Aleta currently works with individual clients in her virtual private practice (Wise Heart Nutrition), and also runs a unique and groundbreaking online group program, "An Anti-Diet Approach to Eating with ADHD", which she developed as a resource for supporting ADHDers in navigating food and eating difficulties, and in developing intuitive eating skills in order to nourish both the body and the brain.

During this episode, Kate and Aleta speak about: 

• Binge and disordered eating alongside ADHD
• Why is binge eating happening with ADHD and discusses the notion of restriction and not necessarily bingeing
• Dopamine seeking behaviour
• Eating to prevent bingeing
• Medication being an appetite suppressant
• Preventing and understanding hunger with emotional dysregulation
• Disembodiment and disconnection from knowing what we want
• Being creative with food and keeping it simple with our nutrition
• Using convenient food and making it all easier with pre-prepared food.
• Removing shame about how we cook and eat
• Finding freedom in doing things our way
• Changing the script, doing things small every day
• IBS and ADHD
• Reconnecting to our bodies
