Intuitive Eating

Intuitive Eating

Intuitive Eating is an evidenced-based, mind-body health approach, comprised of 10 Principles and created by two dietitians, Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch in 1995. It is a weight-neutral model with a validated assessment scale and over 90 studies to date (Tribole 2017). Intuitive Eating is a dynamic integration between mind and body.  The principles  work by either cultivating or removing obstacles to body awareness, a process known as interoceptive awareness.  Essentially, Intuitive Eating is a personal process of honoring health by listening and responding to the direct messages of the body in order to meet your physical and psychological needs.

Research shows IE is associated with
  • Greater body appreciation and satisfaction
  • Positive emotional functioning
  • Greater life satisfaction
  • Unconditional self regard and optimism
  • Psychological Hardiness
  • Greater motivation to exercise when focus is on enjoyment rather than guilt or appearance.
