This Package includes 2 Wellness Coaching Sessions with Debra Brunk and registration for “You're The Expert! Developing Awareness of Your Body's Needs.”

Do you crave certain foods?

Are there certain foods that seem to strongly impact how you feel?

Do you think about what you eat? All the time? Not at all?

Are you confused and overwhelmed by the food and diet advice everywhere?

Eating these days is hard! There is a lot of conflicting information about what’s the ‘right’ way to eat, what foods are ‘good’, and what foods are ‘bad’. A Google search will yield hundreds, if not thousands, of ‘experts’ telling you the best way to eat. But who is the true expert? You are! Afterall, you know your body best.

Over 6 weeks, you will become the expert on your body and your health. By the end of our time together, you will:
- Become more aware of and be able to listen to your body
- Identify key symptoms that tell you something’s out of balance
- Understand why you’re craving certain foods and what to do about it
- Identify your food triggers and what you can do to manage these triggers
- Practice being in the present so that you can take control over what you eat, and why
- Develop a different perspective on food, eating, and feeling good
- Understand what foods will nourish your body

We will use the book, “Nourishing Wisdom” by Marc David to guide our discussions. There will also be small take-home assignments to help grow your awareness of how food and eating impact your mind and body. As a group, we will support each other in this journey of self-discovery. Making change, and getting to know yourself, is so much easier with a group of like-minded individuals.

Class fee includes a paperbook copy of “Nourishing Wisdom”.

Summary of “Nourishing Wisdom” by Mark David:
“For many people today food is a source of conflict and confusion rather than a source of nourishment. In the face of a bewildering array of “expert” advice, most of us are no longer sure what, when, or how much is appropriate to eat. Nourishing Wisdom addresses this dilemma by encouraging us to observe what happens when we think about food and when we eat it, and how both our thoughts and the food affect our bodies and emotions. Marc David offers practical ways for us to bypass our habits and free ourselves from such limiting ideas as the existence of intrinsically “good” and “bad” foods and the illusion of a “perfect” diet. He provides a wealth of suggestions for increasing the nutritional value of our meals by revitalizing our senses, and he repeatedly brings us back to the present moment so that we may be in a position to choose what to eat and why. He reveals how our attitude to food reflects our attitude to life itself. He speaks to that deep spiritual hunger in us all.

Nourishing Wisdom is about how we eat rather than what to eat and as such is more useful than just another book on diet or nutrition. In exploring the psychology of food and our true relationship to it, Marc David has written an essential book for anyone who eats.”
