40% of girls with ADHD are never diagnosed.
They're called:
❌ Too emotional
❌ Too disorganised
❌ Lazy
❌ Not trying hard enough
They're treated for anxiety and depression for years—while the root cause (ADHD) goes completely missed.
I was undiagnosed for 38 years.
When I finally got answers, it was grief and relief all at once.
I've written a long-form article about:
Why ADHD in women looks different
How it gets misdiagnosed as anxiety or "personality issues"
The mental health cost of late diagnosis
What changed when I finally understood my brain

Even when I'm hungry.
It's not laziness. It's demand avoidance + executive dysfunction.

If "I should eat" triggers resistance instead of action, this is for you.
Not broken. Just neurodivergent. 💜

Struggling to eat regularly with ADHD?

You’re not lazy or “bad at adulting” – ADHD, executive dysfunction and time blindness can make food routines feel impossible.

In this 1‑minute video I talk about why:
ADHD brains struggle with consistent meal routines
Hyperfocus, decision fatigue and time blindness mean you forget to eat or eat “whenever”
Chaotic eating can make energy, mood and blood sugar even more unstable

Gentle structure (not diet rules) can actually support your brain
If you’re constantly realising it’s 3pm and you’ve only had coffee and vibes, you’re not alone and you’re not broken. Your brain just needs systems that work with it, not against it.

Do I really need to take supplements?

The honest answer: maybe. It depends on your body, your health conditions, and what your blood work shows.

Supplements aren't magic pills, and they're not a replacement for food. But for people managing chronic illness, they can make a real difference.

Swipe through for the evidence-based breakdown on when supplements help, when they don't, and what to do first.

Struggling to notice you’re hungry until you’re shaky, nauseous, or suddenly ragey?
You’re not “bad at listening to your body” – ADHD can genuinely mess with interoception (your internal body signals) and hunger recognition.
In this video I break down:
What interoception is and how it works
How ADHD and executive dysfunction make it harder to notice subtle body cues
Why hyperfocus can completely override hunger and thirst signals
How this can show up as “forgetting to eat”, bingeing later, or living on snacks and caffeine
Gentle, realistic strategies to support your brain and body without diet culture
You’ll also see my own ADHD in real time – my brain is absolutely glitching in this video.
There are pauses, word-fumbles, and moments where I lose my sentence and have to circle back. I’m leaving that in on purpose, because this is what a real ADHD brain can look like when it’s trying to explain something complex on camera.
If you recognise yourself in this – the missed meals, the sudden crashes, the “oh wow, I haven’t eaten all day” moments – you’re not broken and you’re not alone.

Need more support?
If you’re navigating ADHD, chronic illness and chaotic eating patterns, we can look at your nutrition, energy, and routines together in a way that’s actually realistic for your brain.

Fibre maxing” sounds great… until your gut taps out.

Yes, we do want around 35–40g of fibre a day for gut health, blood sugar, hormones, and cholesterol.
But here’s the catch:
If you go from “barely any fibre” to “fibre influencer overnight,” your gut is probably going to protest.

What actually helps:
✅ Increase fibre slowly – think small changes over weeks, not days
✅ Drink enough water – more fibre + no fluids = constipation city
✅ Aim for variety and volume over time – different plants, colours, textures
✅ Listen to your body’s signals – more gas, pain, or constipation = slow down, adjust

Your gut isn’t failing the trend. The trend is failing your gut.
If you’re dealing with bloating, constipation, or “I tried to be healthy and now everything hurts,” we can unpack it together.

Book a free 10-minute discovery call and we’ll build a fibre plan that actually respects your body.

No shame. No diet culture. Just science, humour, and nervous system-friendly changes.

Why do I link every research study I mention?

Because you deserve to read the evidence yourself.

Too many health professionals hide behind jargon, paywalls, or vague references. I don't. Every claim I make is backed by peer-reviewed research, and I link it so you can verify it yourself.

That's what transparency looks like. That's what trust is built on.

What's one health claim you've always wanted to see the research behind? Let me know in the comments.

Why do you feel like absolute s**t at 10am? 🫠

You had breakfast. You're "doing everything right." But by mid-morning you're exhausted, irritable, can't focus, and contemplating a nap under your desk.

Here's what's actually happening: your breakfast spiked your blood sugar, crashed it hard, and now your body is in full panic mode trying to recover.

The solution? Stop eating like you're training for a marathon when you're just trying to survive a Tuesday.

What helps:
✅ Protein first (not toast, not cereal, not "just a coffee")
✅ Fat to slow digestion (avocado, nuts, eggs, full-fat yoghurt) ✅ Fibre for steady energy (oats, chia, veggies) ✅ Carbs for sustained energy (yes, carbs are good—just pair them with the above)
Your body isn't broken. Your breakfast strategy just needs work.

Struggling with energy crashes, brain fog, or feeling like garbage by mid-morning? Let's talk.

No judgment. No diet culture BS. Just science, compassion, and straight talk.

Happy World Kindness Day to my neighbour, who is the definition of kindness.
This morning I called her before 7am because I was stuck in my own top—wedged into my bra strap, unable to move. And she came over. No hesitation. No judgment. Just showed up and untangled me.
And then had a good laugh at the chaos with me, because that's what makes her even more of a legend.
This is what kindness looks like in chronic illness and neurodivergent life. It's not grand gestures. It's showing up when someone needs you, even if it's awkward or inconvenient or involves rescuing them from their own clothing. And finding the humour in it together.
She does this all the time. Not for recognition. Not for anything in return. Just because she's a genuinely kind and beautiful person.
So today, I'm celebrating her. And I'm reminding you that small acts of kindness are life-changing. They're the difference between isolation and community. Between struggling alone and knowing someone has your back.
💙 Tag your person. Tell them they matter.

Why does "eating clean" make chronic fatigue worse?

The short answer: your body needs fuel, not restriction.

Diet culture tells us that "clean eating" equals health. But for people with chronic fatigue, ME/CFS, long COVID, or other energy-limiting conditions, restrictive eating drains your resources even further.
