Appetite for Answers: Food, ADHD & Diet Culture with Dr Alex Law

This week we're joined by Dr Alex Law — clinical psychologist and specialist in helping people understand their relationship with food, their bodies, and their wellbeing. And honestly? This one went places we didn't expect. We get into why quite often your relationship with food has nothing to do with willpower or discipline, the surprisingly deep links between ADHD and body image (Jaz shares her own experience with her diagnosis), and why the over-diagnosis narrative does real harm to people who've spent their whole lives wondering why everything feels harder for them. We also get into the stuff that made us genuinely a bit angry — diet culture, the return of ultra-thin beauty standards, the rise of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, and who's really profiting from us feeling bad about our bodies. Dr Alex doesn't just talk about this stuff professionally — she lives in it too. No pretending she's above it, no perfection mentality. Just an honest, informed, and refreshingly real conversation. If you've ever blamed yourself for your relationship with food, felt your body confidence tank overnight, or side-eyed the current Hollywood red carpet — this one's for you.   Want to work with Dr Alex?  She offers individual therapy for anxiety, low mood, and general mental health, and specialises in relationship with food, body image, and neuro-diversity. She also delivers practical, engaging workshops for organisations. Explore Alex’s work: thenurtureclinic.co.uk
