Discover how to nourish your mood, informed by science and guided by your own awareness ​and self-compassion

The latest research shows that mental health is a whole-body issue.

Feeling frazzled?

Anxious before you open your eyes,

searching for coffee to brighten your energy,

fading and shaky by late morning,

spacey and slumping in productivity after lunch,

people irritating you in the evening,

so exhausted but can't sleep,

waking at 4 AM with regret and the to-do list…

​Imagine being deeply nourished...

When you are engaged on a path toward nourishing mood, you’re more able to connect with your beloveds and create a better world.

Enjoy this orientation to learn more about how nourishing your mood can help.

Nourish Your Mood: Meditation and Eating with the Brain in Mind

Is a comprehensive program for your mood that:

• is evidence-based and open-hearted,
• gives you accurate support for your physiology and respects you as your own best teacher,
• lets you discover your own answers and gives you mutual support.

Eating with the Brain in Mind involves:

• treating oneself with compassion and love
• eating in ways that prioritize the incredible functions of the brain and body
• taking digestion seriously
• individually discovered solutions
• pleasure and abundance

How this Program is Different...

Body-positive, fat-positive, food-positive, transgender/LGBTQI-positive

Nourish Your Mood is committed to a body-positive, fat-liberation approach.

Nourish Your Mood is transgender and non-binary-affirming. We welcome bodies living with disability and health conditions.

Eating with the Brain in Mind does not involve:

• Deprivation
• Weighing yourself or calorie talk
• Using nutrition or mindfulness as more reasons to criticize yourself
