I see clients with ADHD (and live in my own disorganized brain) on the daily who struggle with feeding themselves and/or their families.

They are confused, frustrated, annoyed and feel like “it should be easier” to plan and eat nutritious meals (or really, sometimes just to eat ANYTHING!).

But here’s the thing: Eating is a VERY complex process. It requires planning, time, focus, self-awareness, and is *full* of decision points. And irony of all ironies, our executive function tends to be even lower when we are hungry (e.g. at the exact time we need it!) or tired, stressed, overwhelmed. 😩

If only it were just “open mouth, insert food.” 🍽️

You’re not alone if you find this whole process overwhelming, or at minimum, kind of annoying. And omg, it’s highly repetitive: Day in, day out. Your brain isn’t set up for this much executive function, especially not all at once. 😵‍💫

I will share some tips in the coming days for HOW you can start to break some of this down and find some joy (or at least, some peace) in feeding yourself. And maybe you can cut yourself some slack on this whole process. 💕

For now, go have a snack. You’ll feel better and your brain will thank you. 🧠

Does the menopause transition hit ADHD women differently? Yes!

- Symptoms may arrive earlier (than for neurotypical women)
- They may be more intense
- Brain-based symptoms of perimenopause may hit harder
- ADHD symptoms may be exacerbated

Did you know that your gut health is part and parcel of your hormonal health?!

The estrobolome can be a good friend to you if you take care of it and your overall gut health.

There is no “magic bullet” here in terms of specific probiotics (though certain strains have been found to be helpful, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus & Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and others), because your gut health is affected by ALL the things you do and put into your body.

Key tips:
* Eat a wide variety of plant foods (fiber!) daily, weekly, monthly. Rotate different types.
* Aim for a Mediterranean-style diet
* Choose foods rich in natural probiotics (i.e. fermented foods)
* Hydrate well
* Exercise regularly
* Get plenty of sleep when possible
* Limit highly processed foods, foods high in saturated fat, sugar and salt.
* Limit/reduce/avoid alcohol and smoking
* Manage your stress! (Your gut and brain are highly inter-connected and if you are stressed, so is your gut!

In honor of Neurodiversity Celebration Week, I wanted to share some of the reasons I talk so much here about neurodiversity and the challenges that neurodivergent individuals can face when it comes to nutrition and health.

We often think that eating is a “natural” and easy task: We all know how to do it, right? Put food in, chew and swallow. ✅✅✅.

Unfortunately it’s not that simple for everyone. And these challenges can have wide-reaching effects.

So this is your reminder that if eating feels hard for you (or a member of your family), it’s ok. There’s support out there. And you don’t have to do it perfectly. 🤗

It’s not your imagination: neurodivergent women DO experience the menopause transition differently. There are myriad reasons for this, which we’ll continue to explore in the coming days and weeks, but just know that it’s not in your head, and it’s not always easy. 🥰

Reach out if you need support. 💕

A few studies for those of you who like digging in to all this!

If you’re anything like me, the idea of “meal planning” may strike terror in your heart. (Yes, even dietitians can struggle with this!). The idea of trying to decide what to eat, 3 meals per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year until infinity…. Sometimes that just makes me want to cry. 😫

Meal Planning, thanks to social media influences and weight loss commercials, often sounds like something we have to do as punishment, or penance for bad behavior. A means to control our bad behavior or base impulses. It’s got to be perfect and nutrient-complete, while also being delicious, easy to prepare, affordable, etc. etc. etc. Ugh!

So what if we stripped it all back a little and looked at planning our meals as a way to HELP us, instead of making life even harder? What if a “plan” could be as simple as writing down our top 5 favorite meals and then using those as our basis for any number of other options? Or what about selecting one single new recipe each week to try out?

And what if we also recognized that it’s not just the “Planning” part that trips us up? It’s a WHOLE FREAKING PROCESS that requires a lot of thought, organization, planning, prep work, memory, motivation,coordination and time management. Some of our brains aren’t built for that kind of complexity, and we may need help or added support.

Here are a few ideas to perhaps take the pressure off. I’ll also post some other ideas in the coming days that perhaps will resonate with you and your brain. I’d love to hear what “version” of planning seems to suit you and your household best.

Selene Yeager () of and I burned it down a bit this week in our definitely-very-feisty-discussion of women’s health in midlife, diet & weight loss pressures, and GLP-1 agonist medications.

We both agree that these meds have many intrinsic strengths, and they also pose not insignificant risks. And, we both feel that the pressure on women to never age, never gain weight, never change is just F-ing infuriating. We are more than our bodies, faces, or “youthful glow.” And, society has a lot to answer for when it comes to individuals’ health.

If you feel like getting into it, take a listen wherever you get your podcasts: Hit Play, Not Pause (Episode 264).

It’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself, and with quite a few new folks I thought I’d take this moment to say HI!
 
I’m Diana, a 58-year-old menopausal woman & registered dietitian living in Europe. I’m also a late diagnosed (last year) ADHD mom who lives in a very neurospicy household. We talk about our brains a lot. Or maybe we just talk a lot. 🙄
 
As I’ve related previously, I’ve been in surgical menopause since age 41, thanks to endometriosis & PCOS. It was hard to go through menopause a decade before my peers. 16 years ago, there wasn’t a lot of information available, nor much sympathy for my symptoms, plus strict limits on how long I was “allowed” to take HRT. I felt pretty lost.
 
I’m grateful for all the recent research around women’s health, and the physical, cognitive & emotional changes often experienced during perimenopause. For too long, many of us have been confused, overlooked, disregarded or just plain told “it’s not that bad.”
 
But we KNOW that hormonal changes affect every part of our lives and beings. And, for neurodivergent women, these changes are highly charged, more intense and/or can come earlier. This transition can come with significant costs: misdiagnoses, untreated mental & physical health conditions, unnecessary stress/distress.
 
You’ll see me talk a lot about how brains (& bodies) are affected by midlife changes. You’ll also see me talk a lot about neurodivergence in general, because how our brains & nervous systems perceive & experience the world has a HUGE impact on our overall health.
 
My aim is to share information & let people know they are not alone. You are not broken, weird or wrong. Some just need a different approach to finding their way in their body & the world. 💕
 
When it comes to nutrition, I believe that we all have different needs; there’s no one “right way” to eat. I work with clients to find what works for THEM. Not based on what influencers or diet “gurus” say. I also believe that weight is not a behavior and does not define our health, and I practice with a non-diet “person-centric” lens.
 
Thanks for being here!
