ADHD Realities
Podcast Description
Welcome to ADHD Realities , the podcast where ADHD and sexuality collide in the most empowering, brain friendly way possible. Hosted by Sexologist, Certified Sex Therapist, and Psychotherapist Leann Borneman, this space is all about unmasking, unlearning, and unleashing your full neurodivergent self, in and out of the bedroom.
We live in a world built for neurotypicals, and that narrative has been bringing you down for way too long. Here, we challenge those norms, call out the shame they create, and replace them with tools and truths that actually work for your beautifully wired brain.
If you’ve ever felt like your ADHD made intimacy, communication, or self-worth harder, you’re not alone, and you’re definitely not broken. This podcast gives you the full lens, psychological, relational, and sexual, to finally understand your experiences through the ADHD perspective you should’ve had all along.
It’s time to stop people pleasing, start permission giving, and take up space, authentically, awkwardly, and unapologetically..

If you’ve ever been told you’re just lazy, that you lack willpower, or that GLP-1s are some dangerous experimental drug — this episode is going to piss you off in the best way.
Dr. B sits down with obesity medicine specialist and lipidologist Dr. Spencer Nadolsky to cut through the noise and get into the actual science of GLP-1 medications — what they are, how they work in the ADHD brain specifically, and why ADHDers may be experiencing them differently than anyone’s talking about.
They go deep on food noise (and why it’s not just “being hungry”), the dopamine-reward connection, sexual desire changes, anhedonia, PCOS, binge eating, loose skin, and the very personal reality of what it’s like to be an ADHDer on a GLP-1.
Oh, and Dr. B drops her own 84-pound journey — including the moment she cried in a parking lot over a pistachio cookie.
In this episode:
- What GLP-1s actually are and where they came from (yes, including the lizard)
- Food noise vs. hunger vs. cravings — they are not the same thing
- Why the ADHD reward pathway means GLP-1s may hit differently for us
- The real conversation about anhedonia, flatness, and sexual desire changes
- PCOS, insulin resistance, and the ADHD overlap nobody’s screening for
- Binge eating disorder and ADHD — the research, the shame, and the relief

ADHD is not a monolith and neither is your relationship with food, your body, or medication. This is educational content based on research and clinical experience, not therapy, not a diagnosis, not one-size-fits-all. Your experience is layered and specific to you. If you’re struggling, work with a qualified professional.
