S5 E10 - Tangled in ADHD: Food, Mood & A Dark Chocolate Addiction | A New Mini-Series With Dr. Miguel Mateas!
Hello Untanglers,
Talking to myself is nothing new... but even I was starting to get bored of my own voice on the solo episodes š
And seeing as one of my words for the year is collaborate, I knew exactly who I wanted to rope in firstā¦
Enter: Dr. Miguel Mateas.
Creative neuroscientist.
And one of the only people I know who can give science some soul.
Weāve built a brilliant connection ā fuelled by deep chats, honest laughs, WhatsApp check-ins, and like all good friendships, we first connected over food⦠specifically, a shared love (okay, borderline addiction) with dark chocolate.
And weāre kicking things off with: Food & Mood
If your relationship with food is a bit, shall we say, tangled, you're in the right place. Weāre not talking about those rigid diet rules that ADHD brains just laugh at. Instead, Dr. Miguel and I are getting into the real stuff:
š§ Why We Eat How We Eat: Our own tales of bingeing, restricting and that fun cycle of "I'll just eat Doritos for dinner" Sound familiar?
š¬ The Science Bit (But Make it Make Sense!): Dr. Miguel explains the gut-brain connection, why our mood can go haywire after certain foods and whatās really going on.
ā¤ļø No More Shame! Weāre all about ditching the guilt. Itās about understanding your body, not fighting it.
š« That Dark Chocolate Obsession: Yep, we go there.
š± Finding Your Own Framework: Because "one size fits all" is a myth, especially for us. We talk about listening to your body and finding what actually works, even if itās having tofu with sriracha for a week straight (Miguel, Iām looking at you!).
𤯠Meds & Munchies: Ever put on weight on your meds when everyone else loses their appetite? Weāve both been there!
This isnāt about perfect eating; itās about awareness, self-compassion and figuring out how to nourish ourselves - brain, gut and soul - without losing our minds. Dr. Miguel brings the science, I bring the chaos and together weāre untangling it all.
š§ Tune in for our first ever episode!
Letās get untangled and show the world what weāre made of š§”š¤
ADHD COACHING
ITāS TIME TO TURN YOUR ADHD STRUGGLES INTO STRENGTHS AND SHOW UP IN THE WAY YOU WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO!
Have you ever felt the need to change who you are in order to fit in?
me too!
And Iāve spent so many years hectically running around this world trying to be everything and everyone else but my true myself
Party girl, house wife, rebel, addict, yogiā¦. To name a few
Hoping that eventually, something would work and something would fix me and make me normalā¦
None of it ever did.
But two things in my life that have allowed me to live a more meaningful and authentic life and that is Yoga & My ADHD Diagnosis, which is why I am on a Mission to support as many individuals with ADHD to turn their struggle into strength with ADHD through Movement & ADHD Coaching.
