About Eating Enlightenment

As an eating coach I help overeaters with both nutrition and psychology because oftentimes therapists or nutritionists miss out on the other:

  1. Create habits so you sustainably follow the 3 Universal Meal Plan Principles (3UMPP)
  2. Learn, practice and master the skills of Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Can you see why journaling is so important now? 

Journaling helps you stay accountable to the 3UMPP so your body is properly nourished and fueled.

For example, track your food regularly then you'll see if your skipping lunch.

This will help you to find the motivation and clarity you need to start practicing the skill and habit creation of Eating Regularly.

Regular Eating is the 1st Universal Meal Plan Principle which means 3 meals a day at least for most people so you feel a lot better, more even keeled emotionally and so you don't get so hungry / bingey in the evening.

Plus, when your well-fed it becomes so much easier to practice mindfulness and the skills of IFS!

But ...

If only you could stick to the meal plan!

Because let's be honest / blunt here now, shall we?

You've been struggling with food for quite some time now.

You've already tried a basic, nourishing, protein filled, meal plan where you ate regularly, mindfully, and healthily.

Your problem isn't the food per se.

Your problem is that 'you' can't stick to the plan.

Normally doctors, weight loss trainers, dietitians, nutritionists they imply that YOU are at fault for not being able to follow THEIR plan.

Eating Enlightenment is the exact opposite.

This is where I come in with the teachings, coaching, tools and skills of Internal Family Systems. 

Internal Family Systems recognizes that a "part" of you sabotages, but this part of you is not the real 'You'.

IFS will remove the mental and emotional obstacles in your way that block you from staying consistent in your food and health journey.

In this process you will also become more of the real 'You', and you'll also have the tools and skills which will last you a lifetime, so that you journey of personal growth and spirituality can continue up until the day you take your last breath.

I hope your last breath is a long ways from now!

But without learning to integrate your sabotaging "parts" I worry that food will cut your years short.

That's why I teach IFS.

IFS is simply the best way to heal inner conflict, quiet an inner critic, release shame, calm your racing mind, and help your internal rebel who always sabotages you to get what it needs to feel safe, loved and held deep down.

When all your parts no longer fight each other, then you can have peace of mind.

Then following the nourishing, non-restrictive, satisfying meal plan principles becomes possible, and even easy.

Of course so many health benefits are right on the other side of consistent nutrition each day.

Good news - when you journal you automatically practice mindfulness, and by "writing" out your emotions and thoughts you actually are practicing the first "skill" of IFS, which is learning to perceive your thoughts and emotions as "part" of you, but not the whole you.

Like 'you' are the one writing the thoughts and emotions out on paper, but these thoughts and emotions are not you. They are "part" of you, but not you.

This is tricky stuff, but with a journal and great coach by your side you can definitely learn to the skill of IFS to heal your inner wounds or subconscious thoughts currently poisoning your relationship to food.

You can be free.

Eating Enlightenment is possible.
