Ep 195: Your Brain Forgot to Eat: ADHD, Anxiety, and the Invisible Eating Disorder

What happens when a man’s brain runs so fast that his body gets left behind? In this episode, Dietitian Dude David Orozco, MS, RDN, CIEC, CEP, uses the Alimentar persona Noah, a 37-year-old software engineer with ADHD and anxiety, to explore how neurodivergent men experience disordered eating not through obsession, but through disconnection. Drawing on research from neuroscience, chrononutrition, and gastroenterology, David explains how ADHD, stimulant medications, anxiety, and irregular eating create a feedback loop that starves the body while the brain races ahead, and makes the case that structure with kindness, not discipline, is the bridge back to health.
