I cannot trust my intuition when it comes to food. This was my mantra for more than 15 years as I followed a stress-driven, sugar-based eating pattern dictated by my anxious body.

And I was right; I could not trust my intuition! Instead, I felt ashamed and blamed myself for lacking willpower.

Over the last four years, many of my clients have shared similar concerns about their eating conflicts, emotional eating patterns, and chronic health conditions during our coaching sessions.

Do you also feel you cannot trust your body to make healthy food decisions intuitively? Are you afraid of eating only junk food or snacking nonstop?

Have you tried to follow your intuition and failed blindly? Chances are you felt food shame or social blame based on your apparent lack of control — everyone on Instagram seems to succeed, right?

But what if I told you there is nothing to be ashamed of, and there may be legitimate reasons to question your intuition regarding food choices?

If intuitive eating was that intuitive, wouldn’t we all be satisfied with our health and body shape?
