Based on the concept of intuitive eating, “Nourish Your Whole Self” helps you tune into your body and mind and reconnect with the sensations that arise from within. Registration for October sessions is now open. 

The free, 12-week nutrition-based program helps to improve your awareness so you are better able to make choices that help you feel nourished. Best of all, you will learn how to be thankful for your body and find joy in movement. 

New sessions start the weeks of Oct. 7 and Oct. 14. To allow for a more personalized experience, space is limited. Nourish Your Whole Self is open to U-M faculty or staff members. Sign up by Oct. 12.

One-on-one personalized coaching, and more

Once enrolled, an MHealthy coach trained in Intuitive Eating (IE) will support and guide you throughout the 12-week program. 

Your coach will:

• Work with you to define your goal and then help you achieve it.

• Connect with you one-on-one (via Zoom, telephone, email) on a regular basis to answer your questions, provide support, and give you the tools needed to make informed choices.

• Identify the tools that may be the most important for you.

In addition to personalized coaching, you will also receive weekly videos and worksheets focused on intuitive eating principles, such as rejecting the diet mentality, honoring your hunger, coping with your emotions with kindness, respecting your body and more. 

"A much better relationship with food"

A growing body of research supports shifting the focus away from dieting and weight loss towards a more mindful approach. 

“I did this program two years ago and still use the principles of Intuitive Eating,” says one participant. “It helped me break out of the toxic diet culture mentality and focus on feeling good in, and trusting the wisdom of, my own body. I highly recommend!”  

Says another past participant, "My coach allowed me to make choices about my health and create a plan that met my individual needs. I really liked being empowered to make my own decisions about my eating and lifestyle. I had a really great coach, who was very supportive, empathetic and caring."
