"Do not expect it to be like any other program you’ve experienced. It’s intense but provides the tools and support to address the root cause of food and body issues. Would absolutely recommend to others but realizing it takes openness and commitment."

“I decided to invest in myself by enrolling in the Going Beyond the Food Academy… I realized that a whole lot of my physiological problem comes from the emotional side of me. Stephanie is having me to dig a little deeper in that part of my life… Stephanie is a great leader. She is someone who is completely transparent about herself and her own struggles.

Claim Your Food Freedom program is not about being tougher on yourself, it’s about finding why you overeat and stop it from the roots. Hope it will help you as it did to me.

“The Going Beyond the Food Academy is really a game-changer. The most important for me was I started incorporating a lot of changes – mindful eating, more of mindful living…” 

“After doing the Claim Your Food Freedom program, I now know what doesn’t feel good and what does. Time to truly listen to what the body has to say.”

I have found self-awareness, self-acceptance and hope for the future. You and the Going Beyond the Food Academy have truly been life changing... THANK YOU!

It’s interesting how much my thinking has evolved in such a short time taking the Claim Your Food Freedom program. I’m noticing I’m thinking of food/eating less often.

Stephanie's wealth of knowledge, conversation, and empathy makes me feel understood. She is the girlfriend I wish I had in my life.

Removing the restrictions has been helpful. It’s a big shift in my mindset after doing the Claim Your Food Freedom program. Labeling feelings has been crucial for me too. I find that I am feeling more in tune with my experiences and reactions to situations.

If you are ready to find out why you struggle with food, Claim Your Food Freedom program is an eye-opening approach, that will challenge you to grow, change and be kinder to yourself. Very much in tune with current principles around mindful meditation.

After going through the Claim Your Food Freedom program, I don't get those "feelings" to eat like I used to. It is me making choices to make my body feel good. It's a different mindset and I like it much better. 🙂

“The Going Beyond the Food Academy is a journey of healing, of discovering you're not broken and you are not alone. You are worth the time and effort.”

Each week of the Going Beyond the Food Academy has been like turning stones, discovering new parts of myself that have been hidden and suppressed by years of negative thinking, dieting, and self-judgment. It has helped me experience countless “ah-ha” moments, the biggest of which was that I can be happy right NOW.

“Like me, you might need to listen to it all first-then go back and look at it again with your new understanding-just loved it -Stephanie Dodier is fantastic!”

Claim Your Food Freedom program will help you see yourself for the wonderful, perfect woman you are, right now. You will see food differently, and realize that it is not the enemy, and that your body is not broken in how it handles food.

The Going Beyond the Food Academy has been life-changing for me. I don't crave what I used to consider forbidden food, and trust myself to be reasonable once I decide to partake. And guess what, I'm not gaining weight and I'm enjoying my relationship to food.

Dietary approach - What do I have to eat/not eat today? (comes from a place of stress and eventually causes mental fatigue). Stephanie’s approach – what can I do to nourish my body/soul/mind today… comes from a place of self-love and increases energy and motivation.

For me, Claim Your Food Freedom program was a solid step forward to learning about myself and to finally becoming friends with the person I've been at war with for all my beautiful life.

I loved everything. I loved the weekly classes where I learned so much! I loved the weekly Q & A, because, in addition to having my questions answered, I always learned so much from other people's questions. Finally, it felt like I had a tribe with whom I was connecting regularly and for the first time, even though I was traveling all summer, I never felt alone or like I had no support. It's an amazingly comprehensive program.

It is an empowering and compassionate program, and something which I think that most people can benefit from.

Wow—the daily awareness journal in the Claim Your Food Freedom program has been an eye-opening experience. It has been an exercise in honesty for me. It has also highlighted a new skill: I’ve started sharing my feelings with my kids, which has decreased the urge to eat my emotions. This tool would make an awesome app for my phone!

Loved the format of the Claim Your Food Freedom program. It is easy to navigate the platform even if someone had limited computer knowledge. Videos are a good length and the information is to the point, easy to understand, and being able to download all the pertinent information is great. Stephanie, you are a wonderful advocate for all of us trying to move beyond the food and I have found the Claim Your Food Freedom program to be excellent

Stephanie, thank you does not seem adequate to describe my gratitude for you and the Going Beyond the Food Academy.  When I found your podcast and subsequent Stop Self-Sabotage course, I had all but given up on me!  After 45 years of dieting and 32 years of on again/off again therapy for compulsive overeating I thought I had tried everything to get a grip on my "weight problem"... I am thrilled to report I was WRONG!! 

This has been one of the most challenging, eye-opening and transformative journeys I have ever taken.  At the moment, I am eight weeks into the twelve-week course and have found self-awareness, self-acceptance and hope for the future.  Just as, if not more, important is what I have lost... the continuous overwhelming feelings of failure and worthlessness. You and your program have truly been life changing... THANK YOU!

I’m so thankful to be going through the Claim Your Food Freedom program! Dots are connecting. The pleasure discussion being innate and how I am created is such a release! It isn’t being selfish or broken. It is simply how I am created. No judgment in pleasure seeking is a key thing I am just now getting. If we ignore the need for pleasure, then we are self-sabotaging, punishing ourselves, or putting others ahead of our basic needs.

I have avoided criticism my whole life but now in the Going Beyond the Food Academy, I truly look forward to new revelations because with each “a-ha” moment, I am gaining ground and living a more joyful life.
