I have learned more from Stephanie’s Facebook page and podcasts than I ever have in 36 on and off again years trying to follow every popular diet program and book to hit the shelves. The podcast on yo-yo dieting was my inspiration for this five-star review. Everything she teaches suddenly made complete sense to me.

Stephanie's podcast is a wealth of information and her message about our health being about more than the food we eat or a number on a scale resonates with me. She really helps (women especially) break free from the harmful cycles we can get into surrounding dieting and food by teaching people how to learn to love themselves and nourish their bodies, leaving guilt and dieting mentality behind. My favorite episode so far is the skin care episode! So much amazing eye-opening information was in that episode! If you want to learn more about health and wellness (mental, emotional and physical), I highly recommend this podcast!

I stumbled upon Stephanie’s podcast and found them so helpful, I binge-listened to them all to catch up. Stephanie offers great information that can be used to help us be healthier. Her approach to cravings is spot on. 

I just wanted to tell you that the last episode of your podcast really resonated with me. I have heard to love myself a million times but hearing the a-ha moments of these women broke through my resistance. I've lost 100 pounds and have been working on myself. You are so right that it's not about the food. Thank you so much!!

I hope you know that you’re empowering everyone around you that listens to you! Not only teaching us understand our mind and body, but helping us fight through every lie society tells us, giving us tools to overcome our fears!... I was on my way to stop dieting but after my 3^rd whole30 didn’t really know how to integrate what I’ve learned in this elimination diet and I was able to integrate it to my normal life when I met you. Seriously, everything you do or say nourishes me! Absolutely love your podcast. Your work is amazing and inspiring! Hope you know how important what you do! Don’t give up.

I recently listed to the podcast episode – ‘How your products are making you sick.’ Incredible information for women looking to improve health all around. This podcast is a valuable resource and should be on everyone’s go to on their phones. 

I have enjoyed following Stephanie on Facebook. Now, I can enjoy listening to her words of wisdom on becoming happy, healthy person. 

I have been so enjoying Stephanie’s podcasts – she has an amazing lineup of guests and I love the way she connects with them to really illustrate how our life experiences/challenges always go beyond food. As a health practitioner I love the informative side of the podcasts and then Stephanie’s lovely personality and humor make it also very entertaining to listen to. A must add to your podcast list!

I found Stephanie a year ago. I learned I needed a WHY to help me be successful in my goal of great health. This advice along with learning I had willpower all along I just had to believe it. Through Stephanie’s teaching, I am achieving good health. If you’re not believing in yourself, I encourage you to listen to this podcast! It will change your life! Thank You, Stephanie!! 

I’ve been following Stephanie on Facebook, her website and on YouTube for over 6 months now. Thanks to all of the wonderful information she provides I am healing my body and learning to change how I think about food. I’ve struggled with Binge Eating Disorder for years and for the first time after I realize it’s so much deeper than a food addiction. I look forward to each podcast as there is always something new to learn. Thank you, Stephanie for creating this wonderful podcast!

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.

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!

“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.”

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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!

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!

“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…” 

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

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 the best investment you could make to bring clarity and unravel your struggle with food. Highly recommended.

“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.

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.

The Going Beyond the Food Academy is a life-changing program. It goes way beyond diet and you dig deep into your relationship with yourself. It's the kind of work that takes your life to a whole new level.

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.
