255. Neurodivergence, Food Struggles, and Finding What Actually Works for You with Abbey Roberts

"The curiosity and compassion route is always going to be so much more helpful and enjoyable than the route diet culture brings you on."

Healing your relationship with food can look very different when you have a neurodivergent brain, and in this episode, I’m joined by registered dietitian Abbey Roberts to talk about why traditional nutrition advice often misses the mark. From Abbey’s own late ADHD diagnosis and diet culture struggles to practical tools for creating a flexible, supportive way of eating, this conversation will help you rethink food, body trust, and what healing can look like for your unique brain.

✅ What You'll Learn:

• What it looks like to heal your relationship with food when you are balancing neurodivergence and food struggles
