In this program, we raise up the work of Dr. Jean Kristeller, working with you on a one-to-one basis. We look at your personal relationship with food, eating, and its overall impact on your body, mind, and spirit.  This program will help you to gain insights into mindful eating and how to approach food with a sense of savoring fullness, with an appetite for taste rather than to stuff.

This program offers you both an introduction and launching pad to the much longer 10-week program.  MB-EAT is supported by NIH-funded research and addresses mindless and stress-related eating, disordered eating patterns, and obesity through the application of mindfulness meditation.

Common sense tells us that to lose weight, we must eat less and exercise more. But somehow we get stalled. We start on a weight-loss program with good intentions but cannot stay on track. Neither the countless fad diets nor the annual spending of $50 billion on weight loss helps us feel better or lose weight. Too many of us are in a cycle of shame and guilt. We spend countless hours worrying about what we ate or if we exercised enough, blaming ourselves for actions that we can’t undo.

This program looks to work through those issues with an ongoing collaborative approach towards the relationship we have with ourselves and the food, or fuel, that we put into our bodies.
