The ADHD and eating disorders connection, with Stacie Fanelli
Stacie Fanelli, an eating disorder therapist who specializes in neurodivergence, joins Cristina to discuss the intersection of ADHD and eating disorders, and disordered eating patterns. Where does perfectionism play into both cases? Stacie discusses practical tips to stimulate dopamine response and increase your focus, what overstimulation vs. understimulation looks like, and how imposter syndrome can play a role in ADHD and eating disorders. She also discusses ARFID (avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder) and how it can be a missing piece in many peoples’ stories.
