Overview

Led by Functional Medicine expert and pioneer Dr. James Greenblatt, this webinar will explore the overlooked link between ADHD and eating disorders, offering fresh perspectives on diagnosis and treatment beyond medication, with a special focus on women and girls with ADHD. This session is designed for anyone interested in understanding the critical role of ADHD in disordered eating. Don’t miss this opportunity to expand your knowledge and learn new, holistic treatment approaches.

ADHD and disordered eating share a significant yet often ignored relationship, particularly in females. Many women with ADHD go undiagnosed in childhood, as they often perform well in school and exhibit fewer disruptive behaviors. However, as they enter adolescence and adulthood, untreated ADHD can drive patterns of disordered eating, including binge eating and food addiction.

With a specific focus on women and girls with ADHD, Dr. Greenblatt will discuss how neurobiology, appetite dysregulation, and impulsivity intersect, shedding light on innovative, integrative treatment strategies.
