beyond the plate
Are you tired of the same old diet advice? Eat less. Exercise more. Follow the rules. Start again Monday.
Beyond the Plate takes a different approach.
Eating is one of the most intimate things we do. What we eat becomes part of us—but our relationship with food is influenced by so much more than calories, willpower, or the latest diet plan.
This three-part series invites you to step away from the tried-and-true diet mentality and get curious about your own eating behaviors. Together, we’ll explore the When, Why, and How of eating—including the habits, emotions, routines, beliefs, and environments that influence what and how we eat.
Through reflection, practical exercises, and simple strategies, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your unique patterns and discover ways to make changes that feel realistic, meaningful, and sustainable.
No diets. No food rules. No quick fixes. Just a chance to understand yourself better and create a healthier relationship with food—one that works for your life.
WHEN: Mondays, December 7, 14 and 21
TIME: 7p - 8p EST
