Summary
Episode 196 with Lisa Dee.
“ADHD girls deserve to be healthy and happy. I refuse to subscribe to the doom-and-gloom narrative. I wanted something better, and I knew others did, too.”
Lisa is an Irish health and fitness coach based in London, and the founder of “Healthy Happy ADHD.” After building a successful fitness enterprise, Lisa's ADHD diagnosis at 31 sparked a personal health and nutrition transformation. She soon became inspired her to share her story and a message for other ADHD women: You can be healthy and happy with ADHD!
Her message certainly resonated — she has built a social media community of more than 400,000 followers, and at the end of 2022, she grabbed the attention of a book editor at Random House.
Lisa's new book, “Happy, Healthy ADHD,” is more than just another wellness guide — it’s a game-changer for ADHD women who have struggled with rigid health advice that simply doesn’t work for their brains.
Lisa blends personal experience, cutting-edge research, and practical strategies to help women break free from shame and build sustainable, ADHD-friendly habits.
Unlike conventional fitness and nutrition plans that rely on willpower and discipline, Lisa’s approach embraces flexibility, self-compassion, and fun. She dives into the science of how ADHD affects motivation, energy, hormones, and habits — offering simple, adaptable solutions that work with your brain, not against it.
In this episode, Lisa shares how to ditch the all-or-nothing mindset, find joy in movement, and nourish your body without overwhelm. Whether you’ve struggled with consistency, burnout, or guilt around health and fitness, this conversation is packed with insights and encouragement to help you feel your best — on your own terms.
