Step Together With Kamy Moussavi: Fighting Childhood Obesity & Helping Our Kids Find Peace With Food

How to Help Kids Find Peace With Food (ADHD, Dopamine & Emotional Eating) | Kamy MoussaviIn episode 246 of the Healthy Real Food Podcast, Erin interviews Kamy Moussavi, founder of Step Together, a family-centered program helping parents and children build healthier habits through emotional regulation, supportive routines, and sustainable lifestyle changes, with a focus on ADHD, impulsivity, and emotional eating. Kamy shares his personal history as the overweight kid who struggled with food addiction and bulimia into his 20s, and explains why excess weight is often a symptom of deeper emotional and environmental factors, including dopamine-seeking behaviors and family stress. They discuss how modern addictive food and screen environments affect kids, the ADHD–dopamine connection (especially inattentive ADHD in girls), and why parents should avoid pressuring children and instead change the home environment, model healthy coping, reduce shame, and prioritize self-care.
