Taking care of ourselves is important! But when you have ADHD, it can also feel daunting. In today's episode, I will break self-care (specifically, sleep, nutrition and hydration) down into bite-size pieces (no pun intended!) Start small! You can start with 1 category at a time, or just choose 1-2 action steps in every category. In each category (sleep, nutrition and hydration), we will ask these questions: (1) What do you need? (2) What makes this important (3) How can you improve this area? (4) What might get in your way? And how can you overcome that? Why sleep matters: According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute: “A common myth is that people can learn to get by on little sleep with no negative effects. However, research shows that getting enough quality sleep at the right times is vital for mental health, physical health, quality of life, and safety.” Resources: 📧 Comment or Question?

In case you missed it, this is actually part two of a two-part interview. So you can go to the most recent episode if you missed part one. Otherwise, go ahead and listen for part two of the interview on the connections between ADHD and eating disorders. This episode explores how ADHD traits like impulsivity and forgetfulness interact with eating disorders such as binge eating disorder and ARFID. It covers practical strategies—planning meals, creating an "owner’s manual" for your needs, using sticky notes and phone prompts, pairing cues with music or art, and asking supportive people to remind you in nonjudgmental ways. If you or a loved one is struggling, the guest urges reaching out for help early (treatment options such as the Emily Program and resources like the Peace Meal podcast are discussed). Recovery is possible, and small supports and planning can make a big difference!
