One of the most significant frameworks for understanding ADHD is the concept of "interest-based nervous systems." Unlike neurotypical individuals who may prioritize tasks based on importance or external pressures, those with ADHD often thrive on: interest, novelty, competition, urgency, and passion (INCUP). This distinction can have profound implications for everyday life, including food choices, meal planning, and nutrition.

Cooking can be a relaxing way to decompress, but for individuals with ADHD, it often feels overwhelming. Between meal planning, multitasking, and managing distractions, the kitchen can become a source of stress. Thankfully, the right tools can make cooking more approachable, helping to streamline tasks and reduce frustration.

We're thrilled to announce the launch of a new branch of our services—workshops! These sessions will dive deep into niche concerns, such as ADHD nutrition, disordered eating, or dietary management for specific conditions like diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and gut health. Along with in-depth educational content, each workshop will offer actionable advice and practical resources that participants can immediately apply to their daily lives.

We discuss why the holidays can be a difficult time for those with food-related challenges and offer practical strategies to support a more positive experience during gatherings. Plus, we have a free downloadable "Cope Ahead" card to help you navigate these moments with confidence.

Eating out can be both an exciting and overwhelming experience, especially for people with ADHD. Sensory sensitivities — such as heightened responses to taste, texture, smell, sound, and visual stimulation — are common in ADHD, adding layers of complexity to an already stimulating social setting.

In our fast-paced lives, finding time and motivation to exercise can feel overwhelming, especially if traditional gym workouts aren’t appealing. However, incorporating physical movement into your routine doesn’t have to involve a membership or hours of dedicated time.
