115: Introduction to Intuitive Eating

Thrive Beyond Size

I just returned from two amazing weeks of camping, most of it out in Kananaskis in the Rocky Mountains here in Canada. I love Kananaskis: the beauty, the lack of tourists, the hiking and wildlife. Mostly I committed to not doing work while away. But on two days when smoke from the BC wildfires and rainy weather kept us inside our trailer, I did do a bit of work. I like being productive but also it helps to stave off that overwhelm of coming home to a giant pile of work that demands so much of you it’s like your vacation never happened. While I was thinking about work on those days I realized I’ve never done an episode on what my coaching focus is, especially now that I’ve pivoted away from weight loss. And once I realized that I knew it was something I wanted to share. The common thread weaving through all my coaching programs is Intuitive Eating.

I have three coaching programs on the go right now: Nourishment Lounge, Thrive Beyond Size, and Binge Free Breakthrough Program. They all focus on different aspects of health at every size but they are all rooted in Intuitive Eating. Intuitive Eating is essentially honoring your internal hunger and fullness cues instead of counting points or calories or using whatever other system is available. There are a lot of misconceptions about eating intuitively and I address those while also explaining how Intuitive Eating has positively affected my own life and health struggle. In the book Intuitive Eating, ten principles of the concept are outlined and I’m going to share those ten principles briefly in this episode to really help clarify exactly what it’s about. I truly hope you gain some insight into a powerful way to approach food and eating and if you want to talk more about it or any of my coaching programs, please reach out to me. I’m always happy to answer your questions.
