3. Digestion:
WORKSHOP
Bring your digestive distress from heartburn to constipation, potty talk is useful! When we know how our body works, we tend to make choices based on respect not distrust.
Find out how our body takes everything from gummy bears to kale shakes and makes them you or not you. This the last workshop and a fun one. Take your new potty info with you to regale your friends and family and most of all to feel your best!
1. Basics of Food:
WORKSHOP
What are carbs, proteins, fats, sugars, gluten? How do you know if you're getting enough? What variables do we need to keep in mind? How does caffeine and alcohol affect us and why does it matter? Don't worry I won't ask you to give them up!
2. Throwing out your Scale & Weight loss:
WORKSHOP
What are we measuring when we measure our weight/BMI and the various metrics that are as ubiquitous as they are largely useless. When are they useful?
What is a calorie and what if it's not real? We'll take on the heavy subject of actively trying to lose weight! How best to do it if you want to, and all the things to ignore if you do.
We'll also discuss common misinformation around hormones and diet fads when it comes to weight gain/loss.
This is a biggie and may be triggering! Please remember this is NOT a weight loss program and I will NOT be prescribing weight loss support or plans. This is basic info so you can make the best choices for you.

Most of us have had some level of Eating Disorder in our lives whether mild or severe, and while many of us no longer do the things we used to do when we were restricting or bingeing, we may find ourselves in a no man’s land of ‘ I know what I shouldn’t do.. but I don’t know what I SHOULD do.’ I want to give you the knowledge to make choices that work for you, your body and your lifestyle. My hope is that armed with information you can quiet the guilt and worry that accompanies so many of us to every meal. Have the info to ignore the the latest fad or ‘non dairy, no gluten, sugar free’ nonsense. If you are currently struggling with a severe ED or are in treatment for an ED, this course may not be right for you at this time. Please feel free to DM me or email me at info@brooklynstrength.com to discuss in more detail.

You should be ready to spend some time grocery shopping and cooking. We will also be practicing a no calorie counting style of food journaling. Can’t cook? Don’t worry - that’s part of our goals. You don’t have to have skills beyond boiling water. I promise. We will baby step you into kitchen confidence - a huge part of better eating. Already a chef! Amazing! We’ll inspire you to cook what makes you and your body happy and figure out what’s holding you back in the meantime. Food journaling will give us information about our choices and the fluctuations of our days and weeks. You don’t have to, if you don’t want to, but it will be helpful to see a bigger picture of your patterns, and help me help you create solutions that work for you.

While we each may have different goals, we all want to feel nourished and peaceful when it comes to food and our bodies. This is not a weight loss program. This is a balanced program. Diets are rarely balanced and rarely support our overall vitality. We will discuss ‘weight loss’ and what that means. It is also very possible that when you begin eating in a more balanced way, you may lose some weight, you may have more energy which enables you to be more active. These are nuances that are unique to each of us. If you want to ‘lose weight’ this might be the best course you ever take or it might be really frustrating for you depending on your values going into it.
The primary goal is to provide a supportive community, and a structured approach to the daily challenges that get between feeding ourselves with health and vitality rather than sad snacks and guilt cycles. My hope is you will finish the course with tools you can use for a lifetime, the knowledge to modify as your life changes, and know-how to best support your body and you!
