Improving your relationship with food is a process and it does take time. Body Guard will support you in that process and push back against diet culture. Body guard is different because it gives you access to course information 24 hours a day 7 days a week.   When you are having a moment of uncertainty or panic, course material is immediately available to support you!

That’s fantastic that you have a treatment team! I highly encourage working with professionals or a team of professionals to help you improve your relationship with food. The messages and information provided in Body Guard are consistent with Intuitive Eating and Health At Every Size. If your clinician works in this area then Body Guard will certainly provide additional information to supplement the work you are already doing. I do recommend discussing the product with your team to see how this can support you.

If your clinician doesn’t work with this area then even more emphatically, YES- body guard will support you in improving your relationship with food and will enhance the work that you are already doing.

If your provider adopts a no white flour, no white sugar model for improving your relationship with food then Body Guard will not be consistent with the messages that your provider is using. Body Guard may not be the best fit for you. However, if you are looking to try a different approach- then Body Guard can help get you started.

Focus on weight loss is a message from diet culture. Body Guard is will not focus on weight, shape, or size other than to counter the toxic messages from diet culture or to help decode the emotion that accompanies that fat feeling. If you’re hoping to lose weight so that you can feel better- know that this too is a false message from diet culture- and that losing weight doesn’t mean that you will feel better. Feelings come from your brain. Changing your body size doesn’t change your brain. Your thoughts and feelings will remain the same even if your body changes. Body Guard focuses on changing the brain (thoughts and feelings) which will help you feel better and more confident regardless of your body shape or size.

Body Guard can be used on it’s own, however it’s effectiveness will depend on how disconnected you are from food and your body. Body Guard works best when used to supplement the work that you are doing with a clinician to improve your relationship with food.

Body Guard does not replace treatment, nor is it intended to diagnose, treat or cure an eating disorder.

You know what the science says. You may even be a doctor, a dietitian, or a nurse, but you still struggle with believing that the information applies to you. This belief is so common and bodyguard addresses your individual concerns throughout.

Body Guard provides layers of information. First it provides psychoeducation on nutrition to help directly counter messages from diet culture. Then it provides journal exercises and activities to help you apply it. Not only that, but Body Guard is available whenever you need it so that you always have access to support as you are working on challenging messages of diet culture. Plus, you have access to an online community for further support and tips.

Then we will address it! That’s the best part about joining during a pre-launch. You will have input on areas that the course covers and if something is missing, we will add it! Plus, you will have access to the online community that will provide additional support. Whatever you are experiencing, you aren’t alone.

Body Guard is for anyone looking to improve their relationship with food. That could be anyone on the spectrum from a diagnosable eating disorder to someone with a history of chronic dieting, or someone who is just tired of messages from diet culture and wants something to counter it.

Body Guard supports anyone working to improve their relationship with food, but does not provide individualized treatment. If you have a diagnosed eating disorder a treatment team is the gold standard for treatment. body guard is not intended to replace treatment and can only be used to supplement work that you are doing with a treatment team. Body Guard can support you when you are between appointments. It is recommended that you speak with your treatment team about the use of this product.

Yes, absolutely. Body Guard will help you identify how you may unintentionally reinforce eating disorder thoughts and beliefs. It will provide you with concrete information on how to challenge your loved ones eating disorder while reinforcing your healthy self. It will help you feel more confident in helping your loved one.

As a provider you can access the course and materials for your own education and benefit. Information learned, handouts and worksheets may be shared with clients. If you would like to use the videos or handouts/worksheets from the course a group, please contact our office for copyright information.

Treatment is expensive, there’s no way around it. But you can’t put a value on living a life with confidence, able to eat all foods, eating guilt free and feeling satisfied. Body Guard moves you in that direction. Body Guard also provides unlimited support. You have access to materials 24/7 so that when you need support it is available and another tool you can use to help you gain freedom from food!
