The Intuitive Eating Practicum is designed to help dietitians integrate intuitive eating principles into their clinical practice using a compassionate, evidence-based, and non-diet approach. This training introduces the ten principles of intuitive eating while helping clinicians support patients in rebuilding trust with their bodies and improving interoceptive awareness.
