A new study published in PLOS Biology found that the bacteria in our guts tell us what to eat in order to maintain a balance in their various populations, thereby keeping us in working order. In the study, explained in plain English in Scientific American, researchers found that when flies were fed diets lacking in […]
Three years ago I launched Eat to Love. Much like my own understanding of meditation, mindfulness, and Intuitive Eating, my understanding of working with clients has deepened in surprising ways. It is with the “new beginning” of this site that I share three little insights into that deeper understanding: of myself as a person/nutritionist/business owner, […]
In preparation for our second free Chat with an Intuitive Eating Pro call Wednesday night (July 8th @ 8-9pm EDT), IE Lay Facilitator Katcha Sanderson has shared two videos on her own experience with the second principle of Intuitive Eating: Honor your hunger. Check out Katcha’s experience here: Find more videos like this on […]
A while back, I posted a four-point approach used by a client to turn down the “noise” of dieting. You’ll notice her first point was to choose NOT to consume, that is dieting and body-critical information from books, magazines, Pins, Instagram accounts, Facebook pages, and tweets. But inevitably some of these things get through, which […]
Have you ever heard this before? I guarantee you have if you’ve ever taken a flight anywhere in the US or abroad. The airlines are clear: if an emergency occurs, please make sure your own oxygen mask is in place before attempting to help others. Translation: you won’t be much help to others if you […]
Recently I wrote a post entitled “The truth about sugar addiction” in which I likened the newfound certainty around the dangers of eating sugar to my own misguided (but never unsure) youth. Over the years, we have rotated our focus on what foods are saintly or evil. Whereas the cholesterol and saturated fat found in […]

With Intuitive Eating, you can absolutely eat whatever you want, whenever you want, but I’ve learned that as my relationship with my body and food evolves, “whatever” and “whenever” and even “want” become more complex. Because of my history with disordered eating and deprivation, I began my Intuitive […]
The other day a friend posted a video on Facebook. It’s the story of a disabled veteran named Arthur who transforms himself through a yoga practice. I’ve seen this particular video many times before, yet I never fail to click on it when it crosses my screen. In case you haven’t seen it yet, here […]
Many of us exist on as few calories as possible. We live with the thought that this is the only way to be safe, and we fear that if we allow ourselves to eat what we really want, all hell will break loose. We’re walking a tightrope. Eating according to what someone else told us, […]
I know, I know. Sugar is the present-day nutritional nemesis. We love/hate/fear it and KNOW it is bad for us with the same unquestioning disdain we had for eggs, shellfish, and red meat in the 80s and 90s. Our collective approach to “what is known” in nutrition reminds me of how I regarded life in […]
