Intuitive Eating for Life


For anyone who struggles with food, eating, and body image, Intuitive Eating for Life presents easy and effective mindfulness skills to enhance, sustain, and deepen your intuitive eating practice!


Intuitive Eating is a great way to get off the diet roller coaster, stay healthy, build confidence in your body, and take the guesswork out of mealtime. But if you’re like many people, you may have trouble staying on track. Enter mindfulness! Based on the popular anti-diet book program, Intuitive Eating, renowned nutrition therapist and meditation teacher Jenna Hollenstein provides powerful mindfulness tools to help you find stability, discover self-awareness, and self-regulate—so you can respect your body and honor your health.

In this step-by-step guide, you’ll learn to practice Intuitive Eating using the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, a classic Buddhist framework. The Four Foundations include:

  • in which you will examine how the body awareness enhances your ability to practice the principles of Intuitive Eating—honor your hunger, respect your fullness, and exercise.

  • in which you will explore the ways that mindfulness and meditation can provide stability and self-awareness, allowing you to experience the full spectrum of your emotions in real time.

  • in which you will examine your own beliefs and misconceptions about eating and the body and respond to them with compassion.

  • (or phenomena), in which you will learn how phenomena such as the impermanence of life can shift our focus from improving our bodies to caring for them.

Some days the waves are choppy. Other days they are calm. There is nothing we can do about this other than to ride them as they are.
