This episode is all about the why behind sugar cravings, and binge eating (it's not your fault!). I go through the dopamine link between food, feelings and ADHD brain. And the evidence-based research to combat over-eating (hint: it's actually eating more).

I've struggled with a sweet-tooth my whole life btw!
