How Undiagnosed ADHD Fuels Addiction, Binge Eating, and Burnout ft. Lou Woods

This week, Lou Woods joins the conversation for a raw and reflective discussion about life before and after a late ADHD diagnosis. She speaks openly about years of struggling to cope, including her past experiences with drugs and alcohol, and how these were often attempts to manage an overstimulated, overwhelmed brain that didn’t yet understand itself.Lou shares how receiving her diagnosis shifted everything — not by “fixing” her, but by helping her make sense of her past, release shame, and build a life that actually works with her neurodivergent brain. Her story is a powerful reminder that what can look like self-destructive behaviour is often a form of survival, and that understanding yourself can be deeply healing.If you’re late-diagnosed, questioning your relationship with coping behaviours, or simply trying to make sense of your own ADHD journey, this episode is for you.Where to find Lou:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itslouwoods/Free Support👉 Nailing Nutrition With a Neurodivergent Brain : https://liftyourlifecoaching.com/audhdfoodchecklist👉 ADHD-Friendly Food Shopping List: https://liftyourlifecoaching.com/adhdfoodguide-434679 👉 Learn how to get daily dopamine hits without relying on food: https://liftyourlifecoaching.com/dopamenuadhdPaid Support♾️ Enquire for 1:1 Fitness & Weight Loss Coaching: https://yxk1v305k46.typeform.com/to/SfP94ewQWhere Else to Find Me📸 Instagram:/Tiktok: lucy_liftyourlife
