What is Intuitive Eating?

Intuitive Eating is an evidence-based, non-diet approach to health and well-being. It helps you tune into your body’s natural hunger and fullness cues, develop a peaceful relationship with food, and let go of harmful dieting patterns.

You might benefit from Intuitive Eating if you…

  • Feel guilt or stress around eating
  • Struggle with dieting or food rules
  • Want to feel more relaxed and confident with food
  • Are looking for a sustainable way to care for your body

Workshops 

We offer one 4-week Intuitive Eating workshop for students each semester. They are free for students and will provide education, activities, practice, and support. 

Fall Session: Wednesdays, Oct 29- Nov 19 from 6:00-7:30pm at CRWC Rm 1A & B

Interested in being notified about upcoming intuitive eating workshops and programming? Add your name to our interest list, and we’ll contact you when registration opens for future sessions. 

Individual consultations

We also offer free, one-on-one Intuitive Eating consultations. These consultations are best for students who are looking to improve their relationship with food, movement, and their bodies. Rather than focusing on weight loss and following a meal plan, we focus on making peace with food, ditching food rules, honoring our cues for hunger and fullness, finding movement we enjoy, and practicing body respect.

Students can also check out Intuitive Eating books for free.
