Disordered eating is a term used to describe a wide range of abnormal, unhealthy eating behaviors but don’t worry, it doesn’t mean you have an eating disorder! It includes behaviors like binge and emotional eating, cutting out entire food groups, feeling stressed about counting calories, guilt, shame, or anxiety around food, chronic yo-yo dieting, hyper-focus on weight or poor body image.

Basically if you’ve yo-yo dieted for years and/or have struggled with your weight for as long as you can remember, you’ve got some unhealthy eating habits. These behaviors are easy to hide but 50% of U.S adults struggle with disordered eating, a.k.a. their relationship with food! 

Disordered eating is 10000% resolvable but requires expert coaching that no surface level diet plan can provide. Without the right help these issues can lead to continued weight cycling, emotional wellness concerns, social withdraw, and overall negative relationship with food. 

A nutrition coach is a nutritionist or dietitian PLUS coach, counselor, mentor and motivator. They are professionals from diverse backgrounds and education who work with individuals and groups in a client-centered process to facilitate and empower clients to achieve personal health and wellness goals. 

Nutrition coaches advise on matters of food and nutrition but have an extra superpower in coaching. You could know all there is about food, but then comes that part where you actually have to do it and keep doing it. Coaching is the bridge between taking what you know, teaching you what you need to know, and putting it into action successfully. It is a critical component to losing weight, and what you need to feel supported at every level in becoming who you want to be by building the awareness, knowledge, skills, and mindset necessary for long-term success.

All of our online nutrition coaches have a minimum background as a Certified Mind Body Eating Coach (CMBEC). A CMBEC has gone through in-depth training at the internationally acclaimed Institute For The Psychology Of Eating (IPE). The IPE is the only school in the world that teaches an eating psychology designed for everyone who eats – one that creates lasting transformation and healing in people’s lives.

A CMBEC hyper-focuses beyond surface level food and weight problems and dives deep into how your life, emotions, and personal world influence why and how you do food. We focus ​on​ ​the​ ​fascinating connections​ ​between​ ​brain,​ ​body,​ ​and​ ​behavior.​ ​Simply​ ​put,​ ​​we know that what​​ you ​eat​ ​is​ ​only​ ​half​ ​of​ ​the​ ​story of​ ​good​ ​nutrition and help you identify the biological, psychological, emotional, and spiritual reasons for your biggest eating challenges, and help you tend to those places. 

We recognize​ ​that​ ​challenges​ ​with​ ​eating,​ ​weight loss,​ ​and​ ​health​ ​are intimately​ ​connected​ ​to​ ​other​ ​primary​ ​life​ ​dimensions​ ​–​ ​relationship,​ ​family,​ ​work,​ trauma, ​sexuality,​ ​our search​ ​for​ ​meaning​ ​and​ ​fulfillment,​ life stress, work, ​and​ ​so​ ​much​ ​more.​ As these connections are made, action can be taken, healing can begin, and the dieting baggage naturally dissolves. No meal plan or macro counting can beat that!

Ultimately, all of this helps us help you to get to the ROOT issues behind your lifelong ​food and weight​ ​struggles, lose weight sustainably, and most importantly, get you back to being LIFE focused vs food focused! 

Yes, absolutely! BUT we do things the right way, focusing on getting to the root issues that continue to drive your unwanted eating symptoms and cultivating a healthy relationship with food. We recognize that eating challenges are intimately linked to nutrition, but they can’t be solved by nutrition alone. Prepare to get clear answers to sustainable weight loss and to the challenges so many people experience around body image, binge eating, emotional eating, endless dieting, constant food worry, or feeling trapped in a food prison. Bye bye annoying, life-sucking diets!
