ADHD Sensory Seeking Through Food Workbook
$11.99

If you’ve ever found yourself reaching for something crunchy, sour, chewy, or intensely sweet and wondered why, this workbook is for you.

This downloadable guide helps you understand sensory seeking through a nervous system lens, especially for ADHD. Instead of framing food choices as a lack of control, we explore how your brain uses sensory input for regulation, focus, and comfort.

Inside, you’ll find a blend of education and reflection to help you better understand your patterns and build supportive, non-judgmental strategies around food.

What’s inside

  • A clear breakdown of sensory seeking and ADHD

  • Why certain textures and flavors feel regulating

  • Guided reflection prompts to identify your patterns

  • Sensory-based snack ideas (beyond just “eat healthier”)

  • Tools to build awareness without shame or restriction

  • Gentle, practical ways to support your nervous system

This is not about “fixing” your eating.
It’s about understanding your brain, honoring your needs, and expanding your options.

Who This is For

  • ADHDers who feel drawn to specific textures or flavors

  • People who feel “out of control” around certain foods

  • Anyone curious about the connection between food and regulation

  • Clinicians or caregivers supporting neurodivergent individuals

"Fed is Better Than Perfect" Daily Planning Sheets
$3.99

Feeding yourself does not have to be perfect to count. This gentle daily planning sheet is designed to help make nourishment feel more doable on busy days, low-energy days, distracted days, or days when food just feels hard. Instead of pushing for ideal meals or rigid structure, it helps you work with the day you are actually having.

Inside, you’ll find space to check in with your energy, identify what kind of support would help, map out realistic food options, and create a low-pressure plan for getting fed. A full meal counts. A snack counts. Convenience foods count. Repeated foods count. Getting fed is still care.

Great for folks with ADHD, executive dysfunction, low appetite, decision fatigue, or anyone who needs a more compassionate approach to meal planning.

“In good company” means you don’t have to do this alone.

This practice was built on the belief that nutrition care should feel safe, relational, and human. I care deeply about creating a space where people can exhale, soften, and be met with warmth in a world that asks far too much of us.
