Welcome to Eat Hike Love! I’m Caroline.

I just discovered last July (at age 39) that I have ADHD.

After decades of wondering if something was wrong with me or if I just needed to try harder, it was a huge relief to have a scientific explanation for my struggles.

As a nutritionist, health coach, and hiking guide, I was instantly curious about women with ADHD:

• How does food impact our sensitive brains and nervous systems?

• What should we be eating more of / less of?

• Can food help us reduce the amount of medication we need to feel “normal,” and to thrive?

• Since noisy urban environments are so stimulating, how often should we be getting outside into quieter places to let nature work its magic on us?

• Are there other women asking these same questions? Can I help them discover a healthier, more empowering, more confidence-boosting way of living with this kind of neurodivergence?

After diving into the scientific literature and sharing my findings with many friends and clients, I got answers to all my questions.

• YES, food makes a huge difference in the way we feel physically, mentally, and emotionally with ADHD.

• YES, spending time in nature makes a tremendous impact on our nervous systems, resulting in a much calmer, more confident version of ourselves.

• YES, other women with ADHD absolutely want to learn about these strategies and connect with others on the same path.

I believe every woman with ADHD deserves access to this information so she can better care for herself and advocate for her needs during the first few years after self-discovery or diagnosis.

So, the idea for The Nourished Divergent Path was born.

This is the place to learn all about the feel-good, science-backed strategies I’ve been researching in food and nature.

What to expect on this path:

• Lots of ideas and inspiration for tasty foods

• Encouragement and planning tools to get outside more often and spend time in nature

• Endless positivity and validation to break the cycles of shame and self-doubt

• A medication-neutral approach, trusting you to make the best Rx decision for your unique circumstances
