*Way has been named 2023, 2024 & 2025 Best Non Diet App by Healthline* Way is like Headspace for Intuitive Eating. Through 2-8 minute, sequentially designed sessions, you dive deeper into the thoughts, emotions and feelings behind your relationships with food and your body. That's why 73.5% of Way Members notice they're thinking differently about how they eat, or they're actually eating differently in the very first week. Employees at our Corporate Wellness clients reported that 100% of those surveyed say Way lowered their Stress at work. The lowered Stress comes from the serene and calm environment in Way - the product of labor and love, stemming from our first principle to create a safe and nonjudgmental environment for you to learn how Intuitive Eating can make a sustainable, healthier version of yourself. Originally, the word "diet" comes from the Greek word "diaita", which means "way of living". Sounds like our concept of a "diet" meaning a restrictive program is pretty far off the original meaning, right? No wonder restrictive diets have an 83% failure rate (some studies say 95-97% failure rate). Instead, Way is an intuitive eating app, that helps you listen to your body and align your way of living and eating to your values. Grounded in intuitive eating and mindfulness within the cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) framework, Way has 2-8 minute sessions within three Pathways: Mindful Shifts, Emotional Eats, and Body Feels. The objective of each Pathway is: Mindful Shifts - To unlearn the "perfect" body image that's perpetuated by diet culture, and reframe a new body image that's based on your values. We find consistently that body image is the most common trigger to the restrict-binge eating cycle (which is the main reason why restrictive diets fail so often). Emotional Eats - Emotions Influence eating. Don't "fight" or try to "stop" them, like what the results say when you type "Emotional Eating' into Google. Connect with emotions, understand where they come from, and find more harmony with food. Body Feels - Your body is talking. Feel it, and learn to listen what it's saying. These sessions deliver progressive, self-derived learning through three core practices and are sequenced in a specific order, as designed by the best intuitive eating dietitians, top behavior scientists from institutions like Columbia University, Duke University, and the University of California. Some additional key benefits: + Cultivating greater self-awareness and self-curiosity about eating patterns and habits of thinking around mealtime and nutrition. + Developing a mindful ability to *pause* between stimulus and response with food. This includes developing foresight and planning as it relates to food and your body - the *pause* is a core tenet of nearly all mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) practices. With a pause, you get more freedom to decide what will make your body feel good and what will bring you more joy, happiness, or align with your values in life. + Building greater self-acceptance, self-kindness and disarming the negative “self talk” that can be a thief of energy and is the signature of diet culture.
