92. When It’s Not About Motivation: Practical Support for ADHD and Eating Disorder Recovery with Natalie Stine, RD, CD, LDN

If you’re in eating disorder recovery and living with ADHD, you might feel like you know what you’re supposed to do—but actually doing it can feel overwhelming, inconsistent, or just plain exhausting. In this episode, we’re joined by Natalie Stine to talk about why that happens—and what strategies can help. Natalie has dedicated herself to bridging her professional expertise and lived experience to provide neuro-affirming and collaborative nutrition therapy to her clients. We break down how ADHD impacts the brain in ways that directly affect recovery, from meal planning to emotional regulation. You’ll hear practical, real-life strategies for working with a dietitian, reducing overwhelm around food, and building routines that are flexible enough to work with your brain—not against it. We also talk about how to advocate for yourself and find a treatment team that truly understands. No matter where you are in your recovery, this episode is here to offer support, validation, and tools you can actually use.
