What is your biggest challenge with ADHD?
Your child comes home from school and heads straight for the pantry. You tell them to stop. They do it again tomorrow. And the day after that.
Kamy Moussavi spent most of his life in that pantry. He grew up overweight, cycled through every diet program his mom could find, and still could not figure out why food had such a hold on him -- even after he became an engineer, ran marathons, and built a startup. The answer turned out to have nothing to do with willpower.
Kamy is the founder of Step Together, a family-centered program that helps parents understand what is actually driving their child's relationship with food -- and why changing the home environment, not the child, is where real change begins.
In this episode:
The quick win: when your child runs to the pantry after school, they are looking for dopamine -- try a hug first and see what happens
Why food becomes the default coping mechanism for ADHD brains, and why it makes complete neurological sense
The role of alexithymia -- emotional blindness -- in ADHD and how it keeps people stuck in cycles they cannot see
Why parents often discover midway through Kamy's program that their child's weight is not actually the core problem
The Titanic metaphor: why small shifts in trajectory matter more than dramatic interventions, especially with younger kids
How ADHD is the first three letters of addiction -- and what that means for how we protect our kids
Every person on Kamy's team has personally struggled with childhood weight. This conversation will change how you see the pantry.
