Everyone keeps calling what I teach “intuitive eating.” It’s not. And if you’re confused about the difference, you might be choosing the wrong approach for what you actually need.
In this episode, I’m finally setting the record straight on how my ThINNER Peace Process differs from Intuitive Eating—and why that difference matters, especially during the holidays when food and emotions collide.
As a former chiropractor turned life coach who created the ThINNER Peace Process 15 years ago, I break down what each approach actually teaches, where they overlap, and—most importantly—where they diverge. You’ll discover why responding to every food cue keeps you stuck, how urges differ from true hunger signals, and why food peace requires managing your mind, not just trusting your body.
This episode gives you the clarity to choose your path forward—whether that’s building body trust with Intuitive Eating or rewiring your brain for lasting emotional freedom with ThINNER Peace. Perfect timing as you head into holiday master classes. Enjoy the show!
