Ep 145: Q&A with Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Ian Martin - Understanding ADHD & how it impacts eating behaviours

This week, I have the pleasure of chatting with Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Ian Martin about ADHD and how it can impact our eating (and drinking) behaviours. Dr Martin explains what ADHD is, how it most commonly presents in women in their 30s, 40s and into menopause, and how best to create eating habit change for those with ADHD. We discuss self-criticism, failure/risk avoidance, striving for perfection, the comfort of food planning and structure, habit swapping, medication, and more! An experienced Consultant Psychiatrist who has worked in both the NHS and for the last 13 years exclusively in private practice in London. He assesses, diagnoses and treats a range of conditions including Adult ADHD. Appointments can be arranged by his Practice Manager Anna Costin ([email protected]). He consults in central London, Chelsea, at the Priory Hospital Roehampton and Twickenham and also offers Zoom consultations.
