AD[H]D + Eating Disorders + Self Regulation
with Candace Fox
11am - 1pm MST is 6pm-8pm UK
Hello! Please join me, Candace Fox as I dive into the intricate and under-discussed connection between AD[H]D and co-occurring eating disorders.
In this 2-hour presentation, attendees will discover how the challenges of AD[H]D symptomology can intertwine with patterns of disordered eating - both deeply impacting and exasperating the other. My goal is to share insightful and enlightening research on the topic - looking at genetic and biological factors that hugely impact a person's likelihood of having an AD[H]D diagnosis and developing an eating disorder.
The link between AD[H]D and Eating Disorders is real. I truly believe the more we understand this complex intersection, the more we will understand the underlying mechanisms of eating disorders/disordered eating behaviours and their impact on AD[H]D symptomology. This important understanding serves as a solid foundation to which we can then look at effective (and individualized) interventions, resources, medications, and tools for both recovery and symptom management.
Cue in self-regulation and emotional safety! We will also touch on how self-regulation tools like EFT can support neurodivergent folks in getting on and staying on the recovery path.
I would also like to mention, I will be joined by my colleague and good friend, Georgia Barnwell who will be enlightening us with her knowledge of the microbiome and its potential role in the symptomology of both AD[H]D and disordered eating.
Last but certainly not least, we will spend some time engaging in an open discussion around this presentation. Please come and share your questions, lived experiences, case studies, or feedback on this very important topic.
