145. ADHD and Eating Disorders with Brittany Modell MS, RD, CDN

Understanding Disordered Eating

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.
