Real stories of finding peace with food.
Read More"Before MNM, food controlled my mental space and took a lot of my vitality from me. I was in an unhealthy relationship/cycle with food. After MNM, I am at peace with myself and have so much more mental liberation. I now look forward to meals and I am so excited to work towards my future balanced self daily."
Rachel G. — MINDFUL NUTRITION METHOD
“I’ve struggled with food and my weight for most of my life. This has helped transform my life. I have gone from feeling miserable, depressed, and very stressed around food to now feeling excited to cook and to eat. I feel more alive. I feel happier and healthier, which is my goal.”
Kristin O., New Mexico Mindful Nutrition Method
"I was feeling guilty, stressed, and very out of balance. I feel much more empowered to create the kind of self-caring experience I want to have around food."
Michelle — Mindful Nutrition Method
"Before MNM, I was at war with my body and food. Now, I am working with my body and happy to have food as a tool for nourishment and enjoyment instead of the enemy. I wish I had been able to go through it 10 years ago."
Autumn — MINDFUL NUTRITION METHOD
"MNM transformed my life. It’s not the nutrition help I needed, it was the mindset help. There aren’t many programs out there that combine nutrition and mindset in this way. Before MNM I was in a battle with my body. I wanted it to behave (no more chronic illness symptoms) and look the way I told it too. I was discouraged. After I am at peace with my body."
Jessie S., Oregon Mindful Nutrition Method
"I really feel like I am at this point in my life where I'm the healthiest that I've ever been. I’m looking at my health as physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, all of it, and that's something I've never done before with myself or my health.”
Kelsey M., Washington, D.C. — Mindful Nutrition Method
"Food was the enemy I fought most of my life. Now Food is my friend and ally. I am free finally of dieting. I enjoy food again."
Karen C. — Mindful Nutrition Method
"I’m feeling so in control of my food, nutrition, and overall well-being...It’s not hard anymore.. I truly can’t believe how much has changed in my overall relationship with food."
Shannon B., Georgia — Mindful Nutrition Method
"It's a mindset change. Now I don't feel the need to get it right 100% of the time, or saying 'you can't have or shouldn't have.' Now I know it's 'What do you need to get that balance?' It's so different."
Pippa M., United Kingdom Mindful Nutrition Method
"What's really shifted is that I'm more conscious of what I'm doing and more present and that's had such a positive impact to stop overeating."
Ann B., New York Mindful Nutrition Method
“I was overindulging and emotional eating. I would try so hard but always gave in to bad habits and it was frustrating...This has helped me to finally stay on track with healthy choices and in the process, I lost 15 pounds.”
Jessica R., New York Mindful Nutrition Method
I’ve been amazed at how much easier my world has been once I really started trying to simplify what I was eating instead of trying to concoct super fancy, insanely involved recipes every night.
