This week, I’m joined by nutritionist and eating behaviour coach Marcelle Rose to explore the often-overlooked connection between emotional eating and neurodivergence.

If you’ve ever struggled with binge eating, food restriction or chaotic eating patterns, especially alongside ADHD or autism, you are not alone. We talk about why these behaviours are so common in the ADHD community, the impact of shame and generational messaging around food, and how traits like perfectionism, RSD and impaired interoception can make eating feel extra hard.

Marcelle shares practical, compassionate tools to help you feel more connected to your body, understand your hunger signals, and heal your relationship with food, without restriction or guilt.

Whether you're newly diagnosed or have long suspected your ADHD or neurodivergence influences your eating habits, this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported and more empowered to heal your relationship with food.

What You’ll Learn:

✨ Why ADHD and autism can increase the likelihood of emotional and binge eating

✨ The difference between disordered eating, emotional eating, binge eating, restrictive eating and clinical eating disorders

✨ How shame, diet culture and generational beliefs about weight impact your relationship with food

✨ Why neurodivergent women often struggle with hunger cues and interoception – and how to start reconnecting

✨ How RSD, perfectionism and comparison can feed into disordered eating

✨ What recovery really looks like (and why it’s different for everyone)

✨ The role of hormones, the menstrual cycle and sleep in your eating behaviours

✨ Gentle, realistic strategies to feel more calm, consistent and confident with food
