Food Trance - becoming a mindful eater
Food trance (book/workbook)
For many people who are trying to achieve a healthy weight, losing pounds is often a small part of a larger problem. Why we eat can be just as important as to what and how much we eat. Old wounds & habits can lead to a numbness, compulsion, or addiction to food. By addressing and healing these issues, people can discover more constructive, non-food-based ways of coping with stress and emotions. This naturally helps the pounds come off. Moving away from obsessions with weight & food and toward a mindful awareness to the motivations behind our eating patterns, we can build a positive self-image and develop better health.
This book/workbook offers principles, and tools to develop a sustainable, healthy relationship with food rather than a fear of over eating. Worksheets help readers discover and acknowledge personal barriers, rooted behaviors, and emotional associations that affect how they use food.

Hi, I am the founder of Lifestyle Nutrition and Wellness, LLC. I am a master's prepared, licensed, and registered dietitian with certifications from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in adult and pediatric weight management. I worked in the clinical setting for 9 years helping individuals manage various disease states such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, Crohn's disease, Celiac disease, and autoimmune conditions.
In 2001, I created, implemented and directed a multi-factorial weight loss program for a large hospital organization, Ascension (formerly St. John Health System), in Michigan. I am happy to say, the program is going strong today. Since then, I have committed my career to building weight loss and wellness programs that are designed to help individuals, families, and groups achieve numerous health & wellness goals.
Some of the goals achieved include:
- Weight Loss
- Organized and Structured Eating Patterns
- Improved Strength, Fitness & Sports Performance
- Stress Management
- Blood Sugar Control and Elimination & Manage Diabetes
- Health & Wellbeing Maintenance
- Optimize Gut Health
- Kidney Disease
- Improve Inflammatory Conditions
- Vegetarian/Vegan/Plant-Based Eating
- Lower Blood Pressure and Cholesterol
Through my education and own personal triumph over obesity and emotional eating, I have the understanding and foundation to help you succeed.
My mission is to guide you, your family, and friends to get and stay healthy!
