Stop eating when you’re stressed or bored! Register for Eat for Life Program – in person or online!
Discover the benefits of this innovative approach to weight management through Healthy for Life’s Eat for Life program. This 10-week program uses mind-body practices (meditations and yoga), the principles of mindful and intuitive eating, skills training, and group support to guide you in making lifestyle changes that will help you create a healthier relationship to your food, mind, and body. If you have a history of chronic dieting, have rigid “healthy” rules about eating, or find yourself eating when you’re stressed, bored, or unhappy, this may be the program for you.
