Diets Don’t Work E45
What is intuitive eating? How can we develop a healthy relationship with food? How do we shift our mindset in our eating behavior? How can we feel good about our food choices? If you have ever wondered about any of these questions or ever struggled with diet culture, you should listen to this episode with Brooke Spendlove. She has built her practice around helping others to stop dieting, feel at peace with food, and love their bodies again.
Brooke breaks down what whole person health is and how intuitive eating helps clients let go of the idea of weight loss goals. It’s all about healthy habits and the right mindset. She wants to cancel the diet culture and we couldn’t agree more.
Spendlove Coaching provides clients the path from years of dieting and negative body image to healing their relationship with food and their bodies. Spendlove Coaching is a weight loss neutral coaching program that provides clients with the knowledge and tools to stop dieting for good and start focusing on adding health promoting behaviors into their lives.
With various programs available, as well as 1:1 coaching, Spendlove coaching is a robust offering for anyone who is done looking for the next diet to “fix” them and is ready to start loving who they are, right now.
Brooke Spendlove spent 15 years in the Healthcare IT industry, as an implementation specialist, product manager and content specialist, before deciding that she wanted to be part of the much-needed change in healthcare on a more personal, 1 on 1 basis.
She obtained her master’s degree in Health and Wellness Coaching from Creighton University and started her path to create Spendlove Coaching. What began as a desire to help clients “fix themselves and hit their ideal weight and size”, quickly transformed into a robust coaching program that addresses the reality that 95% of those that lose weight on a diet regain it back (and then some) within a couple of years.
Brooke saw her own obsession with tracking weight and doing everything “right” escalating and knew something had to change. She couldn’t coach clients as she struggled with her own disordered eating. Diving headfirst into Intuitive Eating, Brooke discovered that the best approach isn’t a diet after all. The best approach is healing your relationship with food and your body, embracing the body you have right now and setting goals to incorporate health promoting behaviors into your life, while putting weight loss on the back burner.
Brooke transformed her coaching philosophy and programs to guide clients, on the path to healing their relationship with food and their bodies so that they can stop hating their bodies and begin to trust them again. As an NBC-HWC Health and Wellness Coach, Intuitive Eating Certified Counselor and NASM Personal Trainer, Brooke’s programs focus on a whole person approach to health, addressing the interconnectedness of our health and wellness.
