Does this sound like you?
You...
Make rules around foods you “should” and “shouldn’t” eat
Experience guilt, shame and regret after eating “unhealthy” foods
Feel like you can’t be trusted around food
Constantly tell yourself “I’ll start again on Monday”
Have trouble stopping when satisfied, or eat beyond the point of comfortable fullness?
Eat in secret and one small “slip up” turns into a full-blown binge
Have difficulty handling your emotions in ways other than with food
Constantly compare yourself to others, feeling inadequate and ashamed about your body
Spend all your time and energy worrying about food and your weight
Are sick and tired of feeling out of control
Sounds familiar?
If so, you’ll probably want to keep reading…
I get you.
Because I’ve been you.
When I talk about dieting, binging and emotional eating, I speak from personal experience. For several years, my relationship with food, my weight and my body controlled my life. From chronic dieting, food restriction and overexercising to binge eating, bulimia and emotional eating, I’ve been there.
I TRIED EVERYTHING…
I jumped from diet to diet, from this program to that challenge…
Read every ‘compulsive overeater’ book under the sun
Tried multiple therapists and attended group counseling
White-knuckled my way through sugar abdication, thinking that if I could just stay clear of sugar all my problems would be solved
And spent thousands of dollars over my +7 year battle with binge, emotional and overeating…
And yet, I stayed stuck in the binge-restrict cycle for years and years…
The longer it went on, the less hope I had that I could ever find food freedom again. I felt like a pathetic, lazy, gluttonous human being, unable to control my food, body, and as a result, my life.
Until I learned about the science between restriction, the power of Intuitive Eating and that binge eating doesn’t have anything to do with willpower.
With the help of a Health Coach who herself had overcome her food + body image struggles, I was able to heal my own relationship to food and myself. The most powerful thing I did was putting my healing journey in the trusting hands of someone who had been through the same.
WITH TIME, FOOD STARTED TO LOSE ITS POWER OF ME.
BINGE URGES STARTED TO GO AWAY.
And eventually, I became that annoying person that forgets that there’s ice-cream in the freezer. Like, who even am I!?
And the best thing? Once I stopped binging, I found my happy weight that I feel comfortable at and that I can maintain naturally, without ever having to think about it.
No more struggle. No more fight.
Just pure food and body freedom.
After my own healing journey, I decided to turn my mess into my message and help other women break free from the shackles of restrictive, binge, emotional and compulsive eating.
They found food & body freedom and so can you!
Let’s time travel to your future self: Imagine….
Having a peaceful, easy relationship to food
No longer yoyoing between restriction and binging

FAQ’s
When can I start?
You can start whenever you are ready! ‘Discover Food Freedom’ has been designed to be completely self-paced – so you can start right away.
How does the course work?
‘Discover Food Freedom’ is a self-study online support program that is delivered weekly, over a period of 9 weeks.
Each module is broken down into multiple 5-30 minute videos, which also includes transcripts in case you want to read through the material too.
In addition to the online material, you will receive a X-page eBook that includes summaries of the learnings + weekly challenges and worksheets to complete to help you reflect and further cement your learnings.
I will also provide you with weekly secondary resources, such as podcast episodes or documentary recommendations so that you can delve even further into the material.
Throughout the course, I will explain the science behind binge eating, compulsive overeating, and why diets don’t work, along with teaching you the tools to making peace with food and your body once and for all.
How much time will I need to dedicate to the course?
All in all, you will have roughly 1 hour of video content to work through each week + an additional 30 minutes of worksheets to complete. In total, expect to dedicate about 1 ½ hours per week on the course material.
At the end of the day, the time you put into implementing the tools is completely up to you. But truthfully, change doesn’t happen just by handing over your credit card details. The more you invest into the course, the more you will get out of it!
How long do I have access for?
You will have lifetime access to the course, including any future updates, yay!
Will I lose weight?
To be totally honest, I don’t know. You may not, or you may by actually healing your relationship to food and body and arriving at a place where you can approach nutrition from a place of gentle self care.
What I do know is that weight loss is not an intended outcome of the course, which is based on principles of Health at Every Size® and body acceptance.
This program is not for you if your ONLY goal is to lose weight.
But can I do this course even if I still want to lose weight?
Absolutely you can. The sentiment of wanting to lose weight can co-exist with the desire to heal your relationship to food and your body. As you progress through the course, you will notice that your desire for weight loss will be put on the back burner and your healing work will become a priority instead. If weight loss does happen in the process, that’s just the cherry on top.
Should I lose weight first and then do this course?
No! This will only prolong your suffering and distract you from healing. I understand why you would feel this way, but I have an inkling that if you are perusing through this page, you already are half on board with the fact that another diet might not be the solution.
Nothing has worked so far - why should this be different?
I completely understand where you are coming from and understand that you are tired, frustrated and fed up with struggling. But I wholeheartedly believe that things can be different for you because I have witnessed time and time again how life-transforming this process is - I have helped 100s of women who once were in your same shoes find ultimate food freedom, and I know that you can find it too! If you are willing to take a leap of faith and trust in the process (and me), I promise you that this is unlike anything you have ever done before.
How can I communicate with you during the course?
I'm here the whole way through and please know that there is a support system around you, too.
Throughout and beyond the course, you will have access to a private Facebook support group, where you can connect with other people doing the course, ask any questions you have and be supported along your journey. You can also always reach out to me directly via DM and I will be your personal cheerleader in this journey.
What if I want more support?
Sometimes you need extra support and help through this process, and that’s totally fine!
I offer a 1-hour 1:1 coaching session add-ons, which you can receive at a discounted price to my usual coaching prices. For this, simply click the ‘add on’ button at check out.
Otherwise, you are more than welcome to check out my 1:1 coaching offers here.
How can I pay?
You can pay with Paypal or credit/debit card (done securely via Stripe). If you have any problems with making the purchase, you can email me at hello@wholesomestef.com
What if I just don’t have the money right now?
If you physically do not have the means right now, I completely understand. But what I’d like for you to consider is how much money you have already spent in trying to ‘fix’ your food struggle through meal plans, weight loss supplements and so on? Not to mention the money you are spending on weekly binges?
Yes, this is an investment, but it is an investment that you will be so thankful for having made one day. If I have one regret in my own healing journey, it’s that I didn’t reach out for help sooner!
I also have a payment plan available to help lessen the financial load, so please choose this option if it is more viable for you.
What if I’m unhappy with the course?
Due to the digital nature of this product, refunds will not be given.
I’m extremely proud of this course and am confident that anyone who invests in it and implements the strategies and tools provided, will be on the right path to food and body freedom.
Obviously this process takes time, so don’t expect an overnight miracle! This is exactly why I decided to make this course 9 weeks long - because this process is a slow unraveling of old thought patterns, limiting beliefs and paradigms - and this naturally takes time. Healing isn’t linear, and there also is no timeline for healing, so be gentle and patient with yourself.
If you really feel like you gave the course 100% and you have zero improvement, then I welcome your input - please get in touch!
Lastly, if you are thinking of signing up but still have lingering questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask your question(s).
I have an eating disorder. Can I still do this course?
Nothing replaces intensive specialized therapy for an eating disorder, however, this program may offer additional support adjacent to in-person treatment. If in doubt, please solicit your treatment team’s advice on whether ‘Discover Food Freedom’ is right for you at this time.
Got a question that hasn’t been answered?
Get in touch here.
If you have made it to the bottom of the page, I have to assume that your heart is calling you to take the plunge. Maybe it’s even the third or fourth time you have been here hovering over the button.
All I can say is this (a quote from John Dewey):
“We do not learn from experience, we learn from reflecting on experience.”
Personally, my biggest regret in my own journey is that I didn’t get help earlier on. I thought that I could figure this out by myself, but I just couldn’t crack the code. Working with someone in a structured setting, being gently pushed to reflect on the underlying issues and being taught the science behind everything – that’s what finally helped me get out of rock bottom.
All I know for sure is that no one ever progressed to the next level by staying safe. I mean think about all of the fear you have already had to crush to get you to this point, now it’s just time to take that next step!
Think about 9 weeks from now when you could be celebrating your new life, or still hovering on this page dreaming about it.
“For a long time I thought that my emotional eating and my binging episodes were part of who I am. But you totally uncovered this paradigm for me and helped shift it completely! I feel very grateful to have found you to truly understand the path of intuitive eating and eating unapologetically. I also think it was no coincidence to do this while pregnant, I was able to have a healthy relationship with the natural and beautiful weight gain that comes with it without freaking out about it, listen to my body and move in ways that helped me feel better and, most importantly, without checking the scale! I couldn’t have asked for a healthier and more uncomplicated pregnancy. I am so ready to raise an intuitive eater. Thank you so much!!!”
