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!

If you've ever smoked, you know how strong your desire can be for a cigarette. And if you've quit smoking, you know it's normal to sometimes still fancy one and like the smell! The key is to not panic in those moments thinking your desire for a cigarette is a problem or has to mean you start smoking again!

In today's episode, I explain how I smelled a cigarette the other day and wanted one! And at the same time, I knew I didn't want one. These two conflicting desires can be true at the same time and the difference with smoking versus food cravings is we don't entertain them in the same way. We hold space for our desire for the cigarette but know that staying the course is the only option because it's just not worth it to start smoking again!

What if you could look at your desire for food that's not on your daily plan in the same way? I want that [insert off-plan food item] AND I don't really want that. I want that AND I know it's not worth it to not follow my plan today.

Listen to the full episode to hear how this urge reframe could help you to become more consistent with following your plan.

Do you have a running to-do list which just seems to grow? Do you have big goals that feel like they keep moving further from you? Does perfectionism and fear of failure hold you back from going after what you really want?

In this episode, I share my guide to using your calendar in a systematic way so that you start achieving the outcomes you want in your life (alongside putting the laundry away...!).

WE MADE IT! I've been surprised by how emotional today has felt and the deep sense of accomplishment which is moving through me. In this final episode of the alcohol-free series, I share what I'm doing next with alcohol and why, and encourage you to explore what you might want for yourself -- because only YOU know what's best for you.

In this episode, I take a step back from talking about weight loss and eating habit change to help you establish what you really want in your life and what you need to do to achieve it!

It's a powerful episode that encourages you to start leaning on your ability to create a deliberate mindset rather than listen to the limiting thoughts that keep you with results that you're currently disappointed with.

The distance between where you are now and where you want to go can feel enormous and scary and we can be deeply unkind to ourselves in that space.

This episode explains why it's so important we don't let those unkind thoughts mean we decide to quit and give up on our goals. What you want IS possible.

Do you find that you're inconsistent with writing your daily food and drinks plan? Only doing it when you feel like it or avoiding it because it feels hard or pointless? This episode covers some (not all!) of the reasons why you might not be writing your food and drinks plan so that you can uncover what's really going on for you.

This simple tool is the most powerful in my toolkit and by not committing to it, you'll (frustratingly) be leaving the results you want on the table.

I share ways to change your mindset about this so that you finally decide to commit to this quick and easy practice and start creating all sorts of amazing things for yourself.
