It can be hard enough for anyone to plan meals, choose healthy foods, and establish consistent routines around food and eating. But when you have ADHD, it becomes even more challenging when symptoms interfere with meal plans.
Join us when Dr. Roberto Olivardia discusses why people with ADHD are prone to unhealthy eating habits and are at higher risk for obesity. He’ll offer you some practical and mindful strategies for establishing healthier eating habits. The goal is to help you develop a more positive relationship with food.
