51. ADHD and Eating Disorders - Johanna Badenhorst

Kiah Paetz Season 6

In this episode, we sit down with Johanna Badenhorst is a mother of two young boys, an Educational Developmental Psychologist and director of Holistic Wellness Psychology. 

She has a profound passion for neurodivergence and perinatal mental health. Like many women, Johanna had a late diagnosis of ADHD, after many decades assuming that her food hyperfixations to the point of never consuming said food again, never actually sticking to any routine, and a cupboard full of random hobbies was everyone’s reality. Her own lived experience with ADHD has fueled her dedication to advocate for neurodivergent women. 
We speak about: 

  • Johanna’s journey with a late diagnosis of ADHD 
  • The link between ADHD, disordered eating and eating disorders 
  • How ADHD affects body image  
  • What does neurodiversity-affirming treatment look like for someone with ADHD 
  • Her top tips for people healing their relationship with food.
