    #75 Hannah Hickinbotham

    This week Elle is joined by @wearefullofbeans founder Hannah Hickinbotham — nutritionist, researcher, and someone with lived experience. We unpack why an ADHD or autism diagnosis can reframe a decade of disordered eating, why “meal prep hacks” don’t work for neurodivergent brains, and why self-compassion beats self-criticism every time.  Hannah shares her journey of eating disorders and being neurodivergent, how the two mix together and how someone can help themselves too. About Hannah: Hannah is a nutritionist specialising in ADHD, podcast host, and lived experience mental health researcher. She holds an MSc in Clinical Nutrition and starts a PhD this October exploring the link between ADHD and anorexia. Hannah is the founder of Full of Beans, the eating disorder awareness podcast, aiming to reduce shame, stigma and loneliness associated with eating disorders to bridge the gap between lived experience and clinical support. As someone who is AuDHD herself, she brings genuine understanding and passion to her work to help others build a relationship with food that helps them feel empowered, not overwhelmed. Hannah offers 1:1 ADHD nutrition coaching, delivers talks and training for schools, workplaces, healthcare settings and conferences, and collaborates on research, all with a glittery, rainbow-loving, cat-mum-in-Cambridge energy that makes nutritional science feel accessible and simple.   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_wearefullofbeans/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannahhickinbotham/  Website: https://www.wearefullofbeans.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wearefullofbeans  Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/5RcJRo9tyIP4RzeZr2kSNO?si=ec6356c05cf44684

    #73 Dr Anna Colton

    In this episode Elle is joined by Dr Anna Colton, clinical psychologist and author of How to Talk to Children About Food. They unpack what a clinical psychologist actually does, why Anna has spent 25 years specialising in eating disorders, and how our own “food baggage” gets passed on to our children. We talk about language around bodies and weight, snacks and “treats”, school weighing and health messaging, and how to raise kids who trust their bodies without turning food into a battle.

She also shares the emotional toll of stigma and online trolling, while reframing goals from weight loss to access, strength, and feeling good.
