Whether it’s day 1 of your intuitive eating journey or you’ve got a feel-good relationship with food but would love support navigating the occasional diet culture sneak attack (yes, those unexpected, subconscious thoughts happens to everyone! Even the most normal, laid back, in-tune intuitive eaters)…
I’ve got just what you need!
This simple question will help to:
Instantly reframe food fears
Swap judgment for curiosity
Cultivate deeper self connection
Enjoy a more nourishing relationship with food that supports you physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially
Shift into the parasympathetic nervous system (necessary for proper digestion and feeling calm, safe, and present overall)
& more!
Yes, one question really can do all that.

“What value does this food add?”
While you reflect on the value-add of the food, you can consider…
nutrition benefits (i.e., carbs for energy or fat for satiety)
social/emotional benefits (i.e., connection to heritage or communal celebration)
emotional benefits (i.e., comfort)
& anything else that comes to mind! Maybe it’s ease (HEY PB&J), behavior changes (i.e., fewer binges because you’re not restricting dessert!), or something personal to you!
Name a food and I promise you there is value.
Give it a try — I’d love to hear how it goes! And, if you’re struggling to figure out what value a food adds, feel free to reply to this email so I can help you find it.
