Heal your relationship with food and make peace with your body.

Intuitive Eating is an evidenced-based health approach created by dietitians Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch in 1995. 
Intuitive eating is often referred to as anti-diet. No foods are off limits! 

There aren’t rules on when, what or how much to eat.  A non-diet approach takes the focus away from judging success based on a number on the scale and redirects it to placing it on behaviors that promote healthy lifestyle changes. 

Our Intuitive Eating program is guided by the expertise of our registered dietitian and certified Intuitive Eating counselor, Karla Lund, RDN. This comprehensive, evidence-based journey empowers you to re-establish a harmonious relationship with food and your body.

Karla Lund is located in Fargo, ND for in-person and virtual sessions. Your health insurance may cover this program.

What are the benefits of the Intuitive Eating program?

  1. Improved Relationship with Food: It helps individuals develop a healthier and more positive relationship with food, promoting a sense of freedom from restrictive diets and food-related anxieties.

  2. Enhanced Body Awareness: The approach encourages tuning into hunger and fullness cues, fostering better awareness of bodily signals and promoting mindful eating.

  3. Long-Term Health-Centric Management: While not a weight loss program, Intuitive Eating is associated with sustainable and long-term health, as it focuses on overall well-being rather than restrictive weight-centric goals.

  4. Reduced Emotional Eating: By addressing emotional triggers and promoting a non-restrictive approach, Intuitive Eating can help individuals manage and reduce emotional eating patterns.

  5. Mental Health Benefits: Intuitive Eating emphasizes self-compassion and self-care, contributing to improved mental health by reducing guilt and anxiety associated with food choices.

  6. Decreased Disordered Eating: Adopting intuitive eating principles may reduce the risk of developing disordered eating habits, as it encourages a balanced and mindful approach to food.

  7. Positive Lifestyle Changes: Intuitive Eating shifts the focus from external rules to internal cues, promoting behavior changes that lead to a healthier and more active lifestyle.
