I’m speaking at the ADHD & Women Summit in London!

I’m genuinely delighted to be joining Seed Talks for their ADHD & Women Summit again this October, and to be part of such an amazing panel of speakers.

We were at this event last year with the So Nutrition stand and it was, without question, one of my favourite events of the year. The atmosphere was incredible. So many conversations, so many shared experiences, and so many opportunities to talk properly about what ADHD can look like for women.

One of the things I really value about Seed Talks is the care they put into creating these events. They’re not simply a series of talks. There’s time and space to meet people, ask questions, share experiences and have the kinds of conversations that can be difficult to have online.

And I think we really need those spaces and opportunities to connect.

As much as I love the reach that online education gives us, there really is no substitute for being in a room together. Some of my favourite moments at events like this happen after the talks, I. The breaks, chatting at the stand, meeting people who follow our work, catching up with clients and hearing the conversations happening between people throughout the day.

I already know that quite a few of our clients are coming, which makes this one feel particularly special.

So on Saturday 17th October, you’ll find me and the So Nutrition team at Woolwich Works in London.

We really can’t wait 😊

Who are we going to see there?

The first 30 minutes after waking may be more important than you think.
In the first part of the morning, your body is moving from sleep into wakefulness — and one of the key changes is a natural rise in cortisol.
This is called the cortisol awakening response, and it typically peaks around 30–45 minutes after waking.
Cortisol isn’t just a “stress hormone”. In the morning, a well-timed rise helps mobilise energy and supports the transition into alert, daytime functioning.
Your brain also needs a clear signal that morning has actually arrived — and one of the strongest signals it responds to is light.
Getting outside into natural daylight soon after waking helps anchor your circadian rhythm and supports morning alertness. Light exposure also interacts with the systems involved in the cortisol awakening response.
Across the rest of the day, cortisol should generally trend down — while later in the evening, melatonin rises to help prepare the body for sleep.
This rhythm matters because cortisol and your body clock are connected with glucose regulation, immune signalling, inflammation, energy and nervous-system function.
So one of the simplest things you can do tomorrow morning? Step outside within around 30 minutes of waking — even your doorstep, garden or a short walk counts.

ADHD may be highly genetic but it shows up in different ways for different people. Understanding more about your own patterns and behaviours can help you create a roadmap towards finding better balance.

Read our latest blog to find out where genes are likely to play a role including:

👉Feeling wired but tired
👉Seeking stimulation
👉Sensory overwhelm
👉Hormone fluctuations

Do you find yourself eating impulsively, chasing something sweet for a quick lift, forgetting to eat for hours, or feeling as though your appetite has a mind of its own?

Impulsive eating can be more common with ADHD

In reality, eating habits can be shaped by dopamine and reward pathways, executive functioning, emotional regulation, sleep, blood sugar changes, and the difficulty of creating consistent routines.

This September, I’m delivering a new four-week live online course with Seed Talks:

Eating Habits and ADHD: Understanding Impulsive Eating

Across four weekly workshops, we’ll explore:

Week 1: The link between ADHD and impulsive eating

Week 2: Creating more regular eating patterns without rigid rules or restriction

Week 3: How sleep and blood sugar can affect appetite, cravings, energy and focus

Week 4: Understanding triggers, challenging unhelpful beliefs and planning habits that work in real life

We’ll look at the overlap between impulsive eating, binge eating, emotional eating and wider appetite dysregulation.

Most importantly, you’ll leave with practical, judgment-free strategies that work with your ADHD brain, rather than expecting you to rely on willpower.

Each session is live and online, with time for your questions.

The course starts in September and tickets are available now.

Book your place through the link in my bio.

I’d love you to join me. Ask any questions below 😊

Do you find yourself eating impulsively, chasing something sweet for a quick lift, forgetting to eat for hours, or feeling as though your appetite has a mind of its own?

Impulsive eating is common with ADHD, and in my clinic work, I see how much distress it can cause.

In reality, eating habits can be shaped by dopamine and reward pathways, executive functioning, emotional regulation, sleep, blood sugar changes, and the difficulty of creating consistent routines.

This September, I’m delivering a new four-week live online course with Seed Talks:

Eating requires more than appetite.

We often think eating starts with hunger.

You feel hungry. You find something to eat. You eat it. Simples.

But for many people with ADHD, there can be a challenging number of steps between those two things.

Before you’ve taken your first mouthful, your brain may already have needed to:

* notice that you’re hungry
* shift your attention away from what you’re doing
* decide what to eat
* remember what food you have in
* plan and sequence the steps
* find the ingredients and equipment
* initiate the prep
* keep track of time
* stay with the task until the food is ready
* sit down long enough to actually eat
* notice when you’re becoming comfortably full before you feel uncomfortably full

That’s actually a LOT of executive function for something we expect ourselves to do several times every day. And if you’re a parent, partner or carer, you need to do this not just for yourself, but others.

And it can help explain an experience I hear so often in our clinic:

“I was hungry. I knew I needed to eat. There was food in the house. I just couldn’t seem to get from knowing that to actually eating.”

Or simply:

“I forgot.”

This isn’t necessarily about appetite.

And it certainly doesn’t mean somebody doesn’t care about their health or doesn’t know what they “should” be eating.

Sometimes the difficulty is in all the steps needed to turn hunger into food.

That’s why nutritional advice for ADHD needs to consider more than what is on the plate.

Sometimes making eating easier matters just as much as deciding what to eat.

Did you know that eating uses every one of your senses, not just taste and smell?

For many neurodivergent kids and adults, sensory differences can have a huge influence on food choices, appetite and mealtimes. This isn’t about being “fussy” or “difficult.” It’s about how the brain receives, filters and responds to sensory information.

Most people think about taste, smell, texture, sound and appearance. But three equally important senses are often overlooked.

• Interoception helps you notice hunger, fullness, thirst and nausea.

• Proprioception tells your brain where your body is in space. It can influence how comfortable chewing, swallowing and using cutlery feels.

• Vestibular processing helps with balance, movement and head position, which can affect sitting at the table, certain seating and chair positions or even feeling comfortable while eating.

When these sensory systems work differently, food can feel unpredictable, overwhelming or simply harder to manage.

Understanding sensory eating can help us moves us away from seeing behaviors issues and towards curiosity, adaptation and practical support. What do your senses tell you about food and eating?
