Do you ever get the idea of a food in your head and it won’t go away until you eat the thing? It's like you are being compelled by the food. You are no longer in control, the food is. It happens with certain foods at certain times. You end up going all out eating the food and then feel guilty.

Maybe you've tried things to stop your cravings, but you still feel confused about why they keep dogging you and how to stop them.

THE TRUTH IS cravings are a reaction to a variety of things.

• Some cravings are related to nutrient imbalance.
• Some derive from emotional needs.
• Some are linked to hormone shifts.

But an underlying factor of almost all cravings are the dynamics at play in our relationship with food and our bodies.

This course will help you SYSTEMATICALLY address the different causes of cravings and ENGAGE IN PRACTICES to transform your relationship with food, your body and how you care for yourself so you can make mindful choices that support your wellbeing.

Here’s why people are saying “YES!” to Decoding Cravings:

“I feel more in control of my eating because I am making food choices based on what makes me feel good. And I understand the reasons why I am drawn to certain foods or eat a certain way. I see how everything is connected, the way I’m thinking and feeling affects my behavior around food.” - Anne

“This course was very informative, and helped me sort out things I hadn't thought of before. The steps to systematically assess where a craving is coming from is especially helpful. I can understand now why I’m having the craving and what I really need.” - Pam

“I feel so much more in control now that I’m able to make decisions with confidence because I trust myself and my needs.” - Erin

“I appreciate Julia’s teaching style. Available, yet not intrusive. Supportive, yet not overbearing. Methodical, yet open to what's in front of you. Patient, yet seemingly without expectations.” - Pat
