REDEFINE

While diet and wellness culture may have you worrying that one wrong food move will ruin your health forever and if you aren’t hypervigilant about your food choices you aren’t taking your health seriously, the reality is health cannot be reduced down to diet. In this session we’ll explore the nuances of health, discuss what “health” even means, offer you an opportunity to redefine health for yourself, and discuss the ways in which a focus on nutrition and nutrition interventions can both help and harm.

RECONNECT

Keto. Paleo. Low-carb. Low-fat. Vegan. Mediterranean. The list of how we’re told we “should” eat for health is endless, contradictory, and confusing. But feeding yourself well does not need to feel so complicated. This session will introduce some *very* basic nutrition principles to support eating for well-being, explore how to reconnect with your body and lean in to your own lived experience to figure out what feels good and what does not, and discuss how we can view nutrition information in a more neutral and nuanced way, which also considers your values, your preferences, and your individual circumstances.

RELEASE & REBUILD

This session will focus on interrogating some of those unhelpful belief systems and thought patterns that we hold around food—like what’s “healthy” and what’s not—to overcome food fear, release food guilt, and help you rebuild trust within yourself and your body. You’ll learn how to confidently navigate the near constant barrage of nutrition and wellness dis- and misinformation, we’ll debunk some common fear-monger messages about hot topics like clean eating and food addiction, and we’ll discuss re-writing some of those wholly unhelpful narratives we hold around food that only serve to keep us stuck.

RECLAIM

How does food planning, procuring, and prepping look different when YOU get to be IN CHARGE of that process? In this session we’ll reflect on what this has looked and felt like when you were beholden to food rules and consider how it could be different once those rules have been released. Because just as there is no one “right” way to eat, there is not one “right” way or approach for getting food on the table, either. This is not your average meal planning, grocery shopping, or food prepping presentation. We’re getting real, letting go of perfectionism, embracing good-enough-ism, and finding sustainable solutions to simplify your life and ease your mealtime (and snacktime) stressors.
