S5 E10 - Tangled in ADHD: Food, Mood & A Dark Chocolate Addiction | A New Mini-Series With Dr. Miguel Mateas!

Hello Untanglers,

Talking to myself is nothing new... but even I was starting to get bored of my own voice on the solo episodes 😂

And seeing as one of my words for the year is collaborate, I knew exactly who I wanted to rope in first…

Enter: Dr. Miguel Mateas.

Creative neuroscientist.
And one of the only people I know who can give science some soul.

We’ve built a brilliant connection — fuelled by deep chats, honest laughs, WhatsApp check-ins, and like all good friendships, we first connected over food… specifically, a shared love (okay, borderline addiction) with dark chocolate.

And we’re kicking things off with: Food & Mood

If your relationship with food is a bit, shall we say, tangled, you're in the right place. We’re not talking about those rigid diet rules that ADHD brains just laugh at. Instead, Dr. Miguel and I are getting into the real stuff:

🧠 Why We Eat How We Eat: Our own tales of bingeing, restricting and that fun cycle of "I'll just eat Doritos for dinner" Sound familiar?

🔬 The Science Bit (But Make it Make Sense!): Dr. Miguel explains the gut-brain connection, why our mood can go haywire after certain foods and what’s really going on.

❤️ No More Shame! We’re all about ditching the guilt. It’s about understanding your body, not fighting it.

🍫 That Dark Chocolate Obsession: Yep, we go there.

🌱 Finding Your Own Framework: Because "one size fits all" is a myth, especially for us. We talk about listening to your body and finding what actually works, even if it’s having tofu with sriracha for a week straight (Miguel, I’m looking at you!).

🤯 Meds & Munchies: Ever put on weight on your meds when everyone else loses their appetite? We’ve both been there!

This isn’t about perfect eating; it’s about awareness, self-compassion and figuring out how to nourish ourselves - brain, gut and soul - without losing our minds. Dr. Miguel brings the science, I bring the chaos and together we’re untangling it all.

🎧 Tune in for our first ever episode!

Let’s get untangled and show the world what we’re made of 🧡🖤

ADHD COACHING

IT’S TIME TO TURN YOUR ADHD STRUGGLES INTO STRENGTHS AND SHOW UP IN THE WAY YOU WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO!

Have you ever felt the need to change who you are in order to fit in?

me too!

And I’ve spent so many years hectically running around this world trying to be everything and everyone else but my true myself

Party girl, house wife, rebel, addict, yogi…. To name a few

Hoping that eventually, something would work and something would fix me and make me normal…

None of it ever did.

But two things in my life that have allowed me to live a more meaningful and authentic life and that is Yoga & My ADHD Diagnosis, which is why I am on a Mission to support as many individuals with ADHD to turn their struggle into strength with ADHD through Movement & ADHD Coaching.
