"I Can't Just Eat the Cookie:"

Intuitive Eating with Chronic Conditions

Wednesday, February 25 at 6:30pm-7:15pm CT (live + recorded!)

So... you finally let go of dieting. Then your labs showed up with red exclamation points.

High cholesterol. High blood pressure. A1c creeping up.

And often, the dreaded replies follow:

"Try the Mediterranean diet." "Just eat les carbs." "Diet and exercise."

Nobody even asked how you were eating.
Nobody asked what you had already been through.
Nobody acknowledged how much courage it took to step off the diet hamster wheel in the first place.

This class exists because that moment is both devastating and frustrating.
Intuitive eating doesn't "ruin" your health. But, when your labs change after you ditch dieting, it starts to feel like all the "just eat the cookie!" energy just isn't for you anymore. 

There is another way forward that provides structure without counting calories or betraying your values. That's where we come in!

This class is taught by two dietitians who live and breathe this work. You will be guided by Maria Sylvester Terry and Laurie Bell, two clinicians who have supported hundreds of clients through this exact crossroads.

No, you are not doomed. You are just at a decision point, and we're here to give you a map.

 

This class is for you if...

  • You are a former dieter who worked hard to rebuild trust with food
  • You embraced intuitive eating and felt confused or scared when labs did not improve
  • You equate your body changing with doing something wrong
  • You feel pulled between caring for your health and protecting your mental well being
  • You struggle with black-and-white thinking and want to practice nuance
  • You feel exhausted by thinspiration and growing pressures to lose weight as the answer to your health problems
  • You want to live in the gray with confidence instead of fear

If you have ever thought, “I refuse to go back to dieting, but I still want to care about my health,” this session was designed for you. 

 

What we'll teach you... 

  • How intuitive eating and positive lab markers can coexist
  • How blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, and hormones actually respond to nutrition and movement patterns over time
  • The mindset shifts that support health without triggering old food rules
  • The habits that move the needle without tracking or restriction
  • How to interpret medical recommendations without panic
  • How to nourish your body with consistency, flexibility, and trust

We have a system that offers structure without restriction, and we want to share it with you so you can have less fear around labs and more capacity to take good care of your body.

You will leave feeling steadier, relieved, and yes, excited about nutrition again!

This class is delivered live over Google Meet with our providers. You will also receive a recording within 48 hours of the class session.
