In Part 2 of our Snack Attack series, we move past dopamine and impulsivity to tackle the final boss of ADHD-snacking: emotional dysregulation. From big feelings to binge cycles, executive dysfunction, and snack stashes that rival Costco, we’re breaking down why ADHD turns eating into chaos — and what actually helps calm the storm.
ADHD brains + snacks = chaos, but there’s science behind it. Dopamine droughts, impulsivity, and snack-chasing aren’t “bad habits” — they’re predictable brain wiring. In Part 1 of our Snack Attack series, we break down why the pantry keeps disappearing and why impulsivity, dopamine, and hidden Twinkies might all be connected.
