Intuitive Eating is an anti-diet, evidence-based approach to nutrition that focuses on making peace with food and beginning to cultivate a trusting and connected relationship with food and your body. Intuitive Eating consists of 10 principles which were developed by Evelyn Tribole, RD and Elysee Resch, RD. These principles highlight the importance of reconnecting with our bodies, rejecting diet mentality, and breaking free from diet culture.

Health at Every Size (HAES) is an inclusive approach to healthcare. As a practice, we focus on the importance of weight-inclusivity and weight-neutrality. The HAES approach emphasizes the importance of rejecting diets and weight loss goals in favor of building appreciation, trust, and respect for oneself.

Intuitive Eating is about healing your relationship with food and is not focused on helping you lose weight. As you begin to build your relationship with your body and start to honor and respect yourself, some individuals may maintain their weight, lose weight, or gain weight if their bodies have been suppressed through dieting and restriction. Every person's journey with Intuitive Eating is unique and therefore will be different.
