E10: ADHD and Eating Habits: A Conversation with Dietitian and Therapist Josée Sovinsky

Today, we are making invisible things visible for people with ADHD, who are challenged by their relationship with food and regular eating. In today’s episode, I am talking to Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Dietitian, Josée Sovinsky, from Ottawa, Ontario about a fairly common struggle in the day-to-day lives of individuals and families with ADHD, who may not even really realize all that might be at the root of their struggles. 

Josée and I cover: 

• Why is the old thinking of 'BMI' evil?
• Why is any food better than no food?
• How do people with ADHD experience hunger differently?
• What role does executive dysfunction play in disordered eating?
• How to shake up our idea of what meals should be.

Resources mentioned in the show:

• The Bizarre and Racist History of the BMI
