Mindful eating can help you reach your health and nutrition goals! Mindful eating is not a diet and does not make food recommendations. It is a practice to help rewire thoughts surrounding food and is used to help guide mindful food choices. So often we tend to focus on weight with a negative stigma that associates a high weight with poor health.

Weight is not the cause of health problems, it’s an outcome of behaviors and habits. Health professionals have been shifting the focus away from weight-centric goals to behavior change goals to improve health outcomes though mindful eating practices.
