ADHD and eating | MissUnderstood

Imagine sitting down for a meal, but somehow, you can’t quite focus on the food in front of you. You’re either distracted by the things around you, or the never-ending to-do list in your head. For many women with ADHD, eating often feels like an afterthought.

In this episode, Dr. Monica Johnson explains how ADHD impacts eating habits. From planning meals in advance, to impulsive eating, to forgetting to eat altogether. Watch as she shares the unique challenges women face in maintaining healthy eating patterns. And learn ways to help bring more balance to your relationship with food.
