Now that we've explored the link between ADHD and eating disorders, it's time to get practical. Many of the struggles around food that people with ADHD face—like hyper-focusing on new diets or forgetting to eat—are not character flaws. Instead, they are direct results of executive dysfunction. Today, we're sharing concrete, actionable strategies to help you overcome these hurdles. Let's start building a healthier relationship with food, one small step at a time.

Yesterday, we talked about executive functions and how they impact daily life for people with ADHD. Today, we're making a crucial connection. We'll explore how challenges with executive functions—like impulsivity, emotional regulation, and planning—can create a perfect storm, increasing the risk for and complicating the recovery from eating disorders. It's not about a lack of willpower. Join us as we shine a light on this often-overlooked link and break down the "why" behind it all.

WELCOME to day 1 of our ADHD & Eating Disorders series! Each day this week we'll explore a new aspect of the relationship between ADHD and eating disorders.

Think of your brain like a bustling city, with different areas responsible for planning, organizing, and getting things done. For many with ADHD, this city's traffic signals might be a little off. This is a great way to think about executive functions—the mental skills that help us manage our time, attention, and emotions. On day 1 of our series, we're diving into what executive functions and executive dysfunctions are and how they affect our everyday life.

This statistic is a powerful call for us to change the narrative. We need to move away from body shaming and diet culture and toward body acceptance and intuitive eating. By promoting a healthy relationship with food and body and providing accessible resources, we can help young people navigate these pressures and build resilience.
Help is available. If you or someone you know is struggling with their relationship with food, visit our website for resources and support www.bana.ca
