UHC Nutrition presents this 3-part Advanced Intuitive Eating series (attend one, two, or all) to equip students with tools to increase awareness of hunger/fullness cues while navigating mental barriers to meeting nutritional needs. If you’ve struggled w/ disordered eating, this is a space to develop a healthier relationship with food/body without the rules/guilt/shame of diet culture. Part 1 focuses on rejecting the diet mentality and honoring body cues. Part 2 focuses on making peace with food, challenging the food police, and discovering the satisfaction factor. Part 3 focuses on emotional eating, body respect, and honoring health through movement and gentle nutrition. Register on Be Involved.
