This class was extremely informative and very well organized. It goes through the different steps of intuitive eating in 12 weeks and outlines how to really listen to our bodies. There are exercises that go with each lesson that help us apply the principles we are learning. The class helps us to learn to really take the time to enjoy our food and have it be an experience. Would definitely recommend the class.

I signed up to take Lisa’s 12 Week Intuitive Eating Course and actually finished the entire course — that’s how good it is! You know how you sign up for things and then maybe do a week or two and fizzle out? Well, this course is so well planned and not overwhelming that you will actually look forward to the next week’s content. Plus, the tools that Lisa creates to go along with each video presentation are really useful and valuable. Lisa is also there to support you the whole way through and help you out whenever you need help. There’s also an area where you can post questions and comments each week which I find is a great plus as you can get so much more out of the course when you participate and share with others who are on the same journey.
I consider myself a pretty healthy eater but the ‘Intuitive eating’ part is what really peaked my interest to participate in this course. In most areas of my life I tend to let my intuition be my guide, but I never thought about it much when it came to eating. I also was a hairstylist for 20 years so the tendency to eat fast is a habit I’ve been trying to reverse since I left that field 4 years ago. Reversing this habit has been a really difficult task but I have to say that this course has helped me tremendously in this area. Lisa talks about many aspects of eating such as what type of eater you are and beliefs around eating that really opened my eyes up as to why I was struggling with this habit. And the mindfulness component is invaluable! Can you relate to eating something so fast that you hardly remember tasting it? Especially if it was a meal you really like? Well that mindfulness piece gave me many insights and aha moments in the way I’ve been eating and I have slowed down when I eat which has me enjoying what I’m eating so much more and my body is very thankful for it too!
I found that I learned so much from this course. The ‘intuitive’ way of eating brings freedom and ease to an area of life that tends to be hard, structured and too-​much-​in-​your-​head for most people. You begin to get more in touch with your body and what it needs and wants which demystifies the decision-​making part of eating.
If you struggle in any form when it comes to eating, I highly recommend this course. You will learn how to get in touch with your body and trust and listen to your inner guidance, which is really the best guidance there is.

I’ve never taken an online course before so when I signed up for the Intuitive Eating course I wasn’t sure what to expect. The class takes place over the course of 12 weeks and it is a series of 12 videos with activities and questions that you complete after each class. Students are encouraged to comment and participate in discussions online with other students after each session (your identity is not revealed in case you’re worried about opening up to strangers). The instructor, Lisa, responds to each student’s comments in such a positive and encouraging way both in the message board and in her private responses to you after each session you complete.
The concept of Intuitive Eating wasn’t new to me and was something that I’ve been very interested in after reading about it in a couple of blogs that I follow. However, it wasn’t until after taking the class that I really began to listen to my body and rethink some of the decisions I had been making when it came to food, exercise, dieting and my overall health.
I would highly recommend Lisa’s class to anyone who is ready to change their relationship with food.

When I signed up for the Intuitive Eating course, I wasn’t sure if it was going to work for me. I have been a life-​long watcher of my weight since I danced growing up and through college. It was very foreign to me to be able to eat as much of anything that I want, even though it was a very enticing thought. The intuitive eating process wasn’t an easy process for me because I was reprogramming how I felt about food and myself. I find that (unfortunately) most things that matter in life or work are never easy though.
The course was broken down into 12 weeks with each week having a 10 – 15 minute video to watch and then an exercise to do to reinforce that week’s concept. It was easy to fit the video and exercise into my weekly routine, which was very nice. I am a mother of a 3 year old and a 4 month old, so free time to do anything for myself is at a premium.
Lisa doesn’t just have you watch the videos and do the exercises. She is a very interactive coach through the course, helping with any questions you have and being extremely supportive and challenging through your progress. It was helpful to have her by my side through the process.
I highly recommend this course. It will change the way you think about yourself and the food that you eat. I found it so helpful to develop a healthy relationship with food rather than just banning certain items and a healthy relationship with my body rather than being so self-​critical.

Intuitive Eating is where it is at for me. I believe life is to be enjoyed while being mindful. Lisa has an important message: trust yourself. Find out if you are eating because of hunger or something else. If it is not hunger, one can go to the next step and figure out (not easy) what is it that is bothering them. I found out I eat out of boredom. Now, I try to stop. The only pressure in this work is to listen to your own voice. I hope everyone will do this work. I also, learned by the end of the week the body balances its nutritional intake.
Thank you, Lisa.

I’m currently taking the Eat With Your Gut 12 week course on Intuitive Eating. This course helped reduce the stress I had about food issues that I didn’t even know I had.
Once you stop pressuring yourself to abide by certain rules and restrictions, it’s amazing how much you become in tune with your body and how it regulates itself. Since about week 6 of this course, I have seen a difference in how I eat and how I feel about my body. The judgement is definitely reduced which takes a lot of the stress away.
The oddest thing is that I’ve lost some weight even though I’m not counting calories or stressing if I want a piece of fudge or glass of wine (or both!). I wasn’t actually trying to lose weight but I think taking the restrictions off of food allows your body to tell you what it needs and helps prevent you from overeating (i.e. I don’t need to finish that because I can just eat it tomorrow if i feel like it) which avoids the inevitable guilt (i.e. I can’t believe I ate that whole thing!) and the vicious cycle that always follows.
I highly recommend this course. I’m currently on week 10 and really getting a lot out of it. Although it does not replace therapy and counseling, it’s a great value for the money and excellent intro to philosophy and techniques of intuitive eating. The exercises with each lesson are definitely worthwhile to do in order to get the most of the course.
One recommendation if you take the course — post comments and get involved in the discussions after each lesson or exercise. We had a very active class and we all shared stories and thoughts and it made it a lot more fun to feel the presence of your fellow classmates.
