359 // Weight Loss With ADHD: How Ashley Lost 40+ Pounds Without Restriction

In this episode of the Health, Wellth & Wisdom Podcast, host and head coach Nicole Hagen is joined by Nutrition Coaching client, Ashley Hernley, for a powerful conversation about creating sustainable weight loss with ADHD, building body confidence, and creating habits that last.

Ashley shares how she lost over 40 pounds and 26 inches, transformed her body composition, and built realistic routines that supported both her physical and mental health - all without restriction or perfectionism.

Throughout this episode, you'll learn:

• How Ashley created transformational change habits while continuing to eat out and enjoy fun foods

• The role accountability played in her success

• How she adapted her habits and behaviors to work with her ADHD, rather than against it

• Why body composition and strength became more meaningful than scale weight alone

• How improving sleep, routines, and meal prep supported long-term progress

• What confident maintenance looks like after fat loss

This conversation is a refreshing reminder that lasting transformation isn’t about having more willpower, but about building supportive systems, realistic habits, and self-trust over time.
