287: From Macro Counting Coach to Intuitive Eating Counselor with Ashton Barrett

Ashton Barrett is a certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, who helps you reclaim your life from chronic dieting and provides intuitive eating and body image support. Ashton is passionate about banning body bullying and in this episode, we discuss her journey from macro counting coach to intuitive eating counselor.

 

In this episode we discuss:

Ashton now described herself as an ex-macro coach, and shares with us the type of approach she used to take with clients. What led Ashton to decide to stop teaching macro counting. Ashton’s own journey to healing her relationship to food and then becoming a certified Intuitive Eating counselor. Why macro counting isn’t true food freedom and flexibility. The concept of reverse dieting in the macro world and whether or not Ashton still uses this approach. How Ashton practices wellness without obsession.

So much of what will help in the intuitive eating journey is provided in our program, Food and Body Peace Playbook, a step by step guide for how to make peace with food, respect your body and live wellness without obsession.

 

This program was formerly called Permission Stage Playbook and what we learned from the 75 incredible women who took the course is that body image is as much of a need of yours as intuitive eating. So we’ve been working hard over the summer to revamp the program and it will be officially available to you at the end of September. You can join the waitlist to get a special discount and first dibs on the only 20 spots available here.

 

Looking for more direct, one-on-one support, or have medical conditions you need help navigating as part of your intuitive eating journey? Click here to review our 3 and 6 month packages. My team and I are currently booking for August, September & October.

 

The Summer Reset is a free mini-course created for you to help you realize this fact: you’re already summer body ready. And what this means to you is, instead of constantly trying to change your body every year summer rolls around, you can choose to reset how you view your body. So you can feel comfortable and gain confidence in the body you have right here, right now. The Summer Reset will help you reset your mindset towards food, fitness and body this summer so you can stop waiting and start LIVING NOW.
