Skipping meals before Thanksgiving does not give you more “control.” It actually sets you up to feel overly hungry, disconnected from your body, and more likely to overeat once the holiday foods appear.

A normal breakfast and lunch help your body feel steady so you can enjoy the meal the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

When dinner comes, slow down, use your senses, and really enjoy!

A new study confirms what I tell clients all the time. Breakfast matters!

A recent study of more than 118,000 participants found that people who skipped breakfast had a higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome, a cluster of markers that relate to heart health, blood sugar, and cholesterol.

If breakfast feels overwhelming or your mornings are inconsistent, you do not need a complicated plan. You need support that fits your real life. I can help you build a morning routine that supports your long-term health in a way that feels doable and enjoyable.

What is your go-to breakfast?

Intuitive eating does not require a full overhaul to begin. Small, compassionate shifts can help you reconnect with your body and build trust one moment at a time.

These 3 practices are simple starting points that reduce overwhelm and make the process feel more approachable.

Begin with the one that feels most doable and let it grow from there.

If this resonates with you and you want guidance in creating a more peaceful, flexible relationship with food, our team is accepting new clients for virtual and in person sessions 👩‍💻
