ADHD & Gut Health: It’s Not Just in Your Head with Dr Miguel

If your brain is telling you one thing (“be good, eat clean, regulate”) but your body is quietly raiding the cupboards at 10pm, this episode will make you feel wildly seen.

This week, we’re going back in time to our ADHD Untangled Live Event with everyone’s favourite go to dancing neuroscientist, Dr Miguel Mateas, to talk about something we don’t get taught enough about: the gut-brain connection in ADHD.

Because so many of us have been told our eating is about willpower. Dr Miguel is here to say: it’s about regulation.

Your gut, your microbes, your sleep, your nervous system - they’re all talking to your ADHD brain.

We get into why bingeing shows up, why restriction makes it worse, why late diagnosis, trauma, and ADHD results in more vulnerability to disordered eating, and how to rebuild trust with your body without 57 food rules.

🧠 What we’re Untangling:

🌀 How ADHD, trauma and disordered eating overlap

🥗 Why we use food to self-regulate (and why that’s not “weakness”)

🦠 What the gut-brain axis actually is - in normal human language

🛏 The one habit that helps your gut and your hunger cues more than any diet

🫂 How connection, touch and movement regulate the nervous system too

🚫 Artificial dyes, alcohol and “is this actually making ADHD worse?”

🍰 Why food is love - and why we keep denying ourselves it

💫 Why listen:

Because when you understand your biology, you stop blaming your personality.

This conversation will help you work with your ADHD body, not against it - so meals feel calmer, binges feel less shameful, and you remember you’re not broken, you’re sensitive.
