ADHD Nutrition for Women
Are you a woman with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), or do you identify with the traits? Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed and anxious? Do you struggle with the organisation and meal planning involved in sticking to a healthy diet and eating balanced meals filled with nutritious options? I hear you, and you are certainly not alone. There is no denying that people with ADHD often face different difficulties on a daily basis, and that self-regulation can be a real challenge, particularly when it comes to food and maintaining a balanced diet. The good news is that, with the right tools and support, including nutritional supplements, anyone can thrive despite their diagnosis.
I understand how you feel, your daily struggles, and most importantly your strengths.
No two brains are the same. Everyone with ADHD is different, and the symptoms of ADHD, such as hyperactivity and impulsivity, vary greatly from person to person. This is why a person-centred approach to diet and lifestyle is absolutely key. From my London practice, I provide personalised nutrition and lifestyle plans for women with ADHD.
You may be wondering how nutritional therapy fits in with the medication prescribed by your doctor. The nutritional and supplementary advice that I offer is always tailored in line with prescribed treatments. Since completing my 4-year training in Nutritional Therapy at the renowned Institute for Optimum Nutrition (ION), I have done extensive CPD training in women’s health, including hormone health and neurodiversity. I also completed NEDDE’s Advanced Diploma in Eating Disorders, Disordered Eating and Neurodiversity.
Additional testing can be used to inform your nutrition plan, as some deficiencies and imbalances can exacerbate symptoms of ADHD, such as low levels of omega-3 fatty acids or certain vitamins and minerals, or hormone changes.
Nutritional Therapy for ADHD
If you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed and need some support to help improve your relationship with food, I offer a focused service for clients with ADHD. This covers not only diet but also lifestyle, stress management and sleep. Calling on my personal and professional experience, I’ll equip you with the tools you need to overcome unhelpful symptoms and give you the support you need to thrive.
Through a series of one-on-one meetings, we can address your challenges and implement achievable changes to your diet and lifestyle. As focus for longer periods can be difficult for some clients with ADHD I can offer shorter, more manageable sessions. This flexible package is ideal if:
- You struggle to stick to a daily routine
- You find yourself unable to focus for longer periods of time
- You often crave sugary foods and carbs
- You forget to eat, then find yourself overeating
- Swapping a boring task for food is a regular habit
- You have difficulty managing stress and winding down in the evening
