Food is essential to life, yet for many adults with ADHD, fueling ourselves feels anything but simple. In many instances, we know what we “should” be doing to nourish ourselves, but this knowledge doesn’t align with how our ADHD brains operate. This session-designed for adults with ADHD and anyone who works with them-aims to challenge our beliefs around food. It encourages a shift in our thoughts, feelings and behaviors by inviting us to throw out the map we’ve been following and to give ourselves permission to do things differently. As we explore connections between food and ADHD, tap into our interest-based nervous systems, and identify and engage our unique strengths we’ll discover ways to move beyond survival mode and toward a relationship with food that feels better to our bodies and brains. Attendees will leave the session equipped with practical, creative, and science-backed strategies to experiment with as they experience new ways of thinking about and approaching food.
