What is a lifestyle based approach?
 

​Health is the primary focus when taking a lifestyle approach. This is achieved through targeting healthy habits and you as a whole rather than focusing on appearance, weight loss, calorie counting, etc. The goal is to reach a lifestyle that is healthy and can be maintained long term, by listening to your hunger and fullness cues. Many people focus on weight in order to improve their health, however living in a world which focuses on weight as the only health marker, can be harmful for some. I appreciate that bodies come in all shapes, sizes, and weights, and work with individuals to improve their overall health.
