145. ADHD and Eating Disorders with Brittany Modell MS, RD, CDN
ADHD + a complicated relationship with food = a recipe for disaster. Am I right? If you’ve ever found yourself forgetting key ingredients at the grocery store or using snacks to calm your brain from its chaotic circus act. If you're nodding along and thinking, "Yep, that's me," then listen up. In this episode, I’m joined by Brittany Modell, a registered dietitian and certified intuitive eating counselor who knows exactly how overwhelming it can be to juggle all the things, especially when ADHD makes remembering groceries or even meals feel like an Olympic event. Tweetable Quotes “When someone struggles with something like ADHD, eating disorder recovery can get really, really complicated for a variety of reasons.” - Rachelle Heinemann "Self-compassion is a practice, it's not something you experience once or twice, and all of a sudden you have compassion for yourself." - Brittany Modell "ADHD looks different for various people." - Brittany Modell "Food is powerful, but food is not the end-all, be-all... it can play a role, but my brain's not going to change because I ate differently." - Brittany Modell "This is general information. This is not one size fits all." - Brittany Modell "Routine is really important, and it's hard because people with ADHD tend to struggle with routine, but they can thrive when they have it." - Brittany Modell Resources Connect with Brittany Here!
