First Steps to Understanding Eating Disorders
Due to growing awareness and demand for the treatment of eating disorders, many providers have a waitlist for one-on-one treatment. While parents and caregivers navigate this waiting period, there are important steps towards recovery that can be taken at home. To provide some clarity and guidance, Tina Thompson will host the "First Steps to Understanding Eating Disorders".

Intuitive Eating Workshop Fall 2024
We are currently accepting participants for the 2024 Fall Intuitive Eating Workshop. This workshop is aimed at creating an inclusive anti-diet community ready to explore their relationship with food and their body. As a group, we will explore the 10 Principles of Intuitive Eating while placing the individual as the expert of their own body. The workshop will be split into 2 parts to maximize digestion of information and ability to practice skills between sessions.
What is intuitive eating? Intuitive eating is a framework for "dynamic mind-body integration of instinct, emotion, and rational thought". It is a process designed to work FOR your body and mind, rather than against it.
This workshop may be right for you if:
-you are tired of following eating rules and would like to find a sustainable solution for your relationship with food
-you would like to find more attunement with your body's signals
-foods tend to be viewed as good or bad, and you want to find a way to change that
-you have heard about or tried intuitive eating and want to put it into practice
-you want to find the joy in food again
You will learn from Emily Gogel, a dietitian passionate about Intuitive Eating, eating disorder recovery, and the Health At Every Size framework.
- Who: The class is open to individuals ages 18+, all genders.
- This group is not intended for those actively recovering from an eating disorder. Please talk to your treatment team and the facilitator to know if the group may be right for you.
- When: Saturday October 19th and November 2nd, 9am-12pm
- We will meet twice, with each session spanning three hours, to ensure sufficient time for absorbing and reflecting on the material.
- Where: It will be offered in person at Bluegrass Nutrition Counseling, 3167 Custer Dr Suite 301.
- Cost: $225 total for two sessions.
