From the author of Eat to Love: a non-diet, trauma-aware path to Intuitive Eating and reconnecting with your body's wisdom.
If you already know that diets don't work, and are wary of anything that quietly replaces them, this book is for you. Not to motivate you, but to make space for you.
Nutrition therapist and mindfulness teacher Jenna Hollenstein created this workbook to dismantle diet culture where it actually lives-in our nervous systems, habits, and narratives that equate suppression with worth. Drawing from Intuitive Eating, Buddhist psychology, and trauma-informed mindfulness, she defends hunger as meaningful and bodies as trustworthy.
Inside you'll find:
- Reflective prompts that deepen body awareness without self-interrogation
- Practical tools for everyday eating amid stress, illness, and change
- A flexible framework designed for complexity, midlife, and real life
Organized around a living-tree ecosystem, Jenna reminds you that nourishment depends on sleep, safety, nervous system capacity, emotional life, and meaning-not willpower. She threads the Buddhist six paramitas, or virtues, throughout to be used as orienting supports but not ideals to live up to.
If you're ready to step into a steady, trusting relationship with food and body, the Eat to Love Companion Workbook can help you find your way.
