We are deep in it. 80+ days deep into our experience of a global pandemic. Deep into the most recent uptick in our collective awareness of systemic racism – not only police brutality, but also thought and action-policing of black outrage and disproportionate COVID sickness and fatalities. All the while working with ourselves, our relationships […]
When you’re dieting, any challenge that pops up is meant to be whacked like a carnival mole. Obstacles in this sense are all about overcoming, overriding, vanquishing, and emerging victorious.

Traditionally we think about generosity as giving to others – material goods, services, help, kindness. But I would argue that as other-oriented as we may be, sometimes true generosity looks like accepting from others. Think of the joy you receive when you give to others. When that person realizes that you have considered their feelings […]
When I work with clients, I usually find myself drawing two circles in the air with my index finders – one representing our physiology or biology, the other representing our psychology.

Perhaps you find yourself self-soothing with food more often as a way to manage fear, anxiety, and […]
Hi there, Today is my 45th birthday and I want to give you something to celebrate!! Before, during, and after the Thanksgiving holiday, I heard and read so many things about eating, weight, and body image. The good news is that there was an amazing array of body-positive, intuitive eating-inspired posts about how to hold […]
Hi there: I’m coming to you this week from the Academy of Food and Nutrition’s Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo in Philadelphia PA. For our final Halloween-themed video, I share what’s really scary and what you can do about it. Please enjoy the holiday! Love and much respect, Jenna
