This week, I have the pleasure of chatting with Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Ian Martin about ADHD and how it can impact our eating (and drinking) behaviours.

Dr Martin explains what ADHD is, how it most commonly presents in women in their 30s, 40s and into menopause, and how best to create eating habit change for those with ADHD. We discuss self-criticism, failure/risk avoidance, striving for perfection, the comfort of food planning and structure, habit swapping, medication, and more!

An experienced Consultant Psychiatrist who has worked in both the NHS and for the last 13 years exclusively in private practice in London. He assesses, diagnoses and treats a range of conditions including Adult ADHD. Appointments can be arranged by his Practice Manager Anna Costin (anna@drianmartin.co.uk).

He consults in central London, Chelsea, at the Priory Hospital Roehampton and Twickenham and also offers Zoom consultations.

Do you regularly eat when you're bored, stressed, happy, angry, sad? Do you regularly eat when you're not physically hungry but want the act of eating to soothe and comfort you? If YES, this is the episode for you.

I share why I think changing your goal from weight loss to stopping buffering can be much more compelling and effective in helping you to stop eating to solve your emotions. Weight loss will be a lovely by-product of that but the action is driven by your desire to become the strongest, most capable and resilient version of yourself which will open up your life to greater possibilities.

I'm now full until Sept '25 for my Signature 1:1 Eating and Drinking Habit Change programme. But if you'd like to explore my deep dive coaching session which is available on Mondays, click here >

In this short episode, I read a poem by Jeff Foster about what we really want in life. I like the idea of considering your cravings and desire for food and alcohol through the lens of this poem, thinking about what might be lacking in your life, and how to see abundance in the present moment that you're in.

I'm wishing you all a beautiful Easter and I'll see you after the break to kick off season 4 of the podcast!
