Raise your hand if you've made it to 4 PM before realizing you forgot to eat. Now put your hand down and listen to this episode.
Today, I sit down with Claire Rifkin, registered dietitian and breakfast burrito devotee, to talk about something we're all guilty of: skipping meals and wondering why we're so tired all the time.
Claire breaks down the actual science behind feeding your ADHD brain and how to stop treating lunch like it's optional. We're talking mechanical eating, food aversions, texture issues, how to feed yourself (and your kids) without attaching morality to every single snack, and basically everything you wish someone had told you about food years ago.
TOPICS & TANGENTS
— What actually happens when you don't fuel your ADHD brain
— Why hyper-focus kills your hunger cues (and what to do about it)
— Protein, carbs, fats, and fiber, and what they actually do for you
— Why you crave a sweet treat after every meal
— Why your kid suddenly hates mac and cheese
POINT OF THE STORY
If you're not eating, you're literally asking your brain to work on empty, and then wondering why everything feels harder. Treat your meals like the non-negotiable appointments they are, and watch how much better you feel.
