    ADHD, Dopamine, and Discipline: How Neurodivergence Impacts Health, Fitness, and Habits with Dr. Jenn Gauthier

    In this episode of The Beyond Body Show, Jen sits down with Dr. Jenn Gauthier—registered clinical counselor and researcher in high-functioning ADHD—to explore how ADHD shows up in the daily habits, struggles, and self-perceptions of ambitious women navigating health and fitness. Together, they unpack: What high-functioning ADHD actually looks like (and why most research misses the mark) Why ADHD so often coexists with emotional eating, perfectionism, and low self-esteem How executive dysfunction impacts motivation, food prep, and fitness follow-through Tools like habit stacking, micro-actions, and dopamine resets (plus why timers and tech can be your friend) Why identity-based behavior change works better than willpower (especially if you're neurodivergent) The truth about ADHD medication, appetite suppression, and navigating nutrition as a high-functioning adult And how women with ADHD often mask their struggles through success—until it stops working. Whether you're diagnosed, self-identifying, or just suspect your "inconsistency" has deeper roots—this episode will leave you feeling seen, empowered, and ready to build systems that support your brain, body, and goals.  For high-achievers with a messy mind and a big heart—this one's for you.
