• Have tried everything under the sun to stick with only “healthy” or “clean” eating habits, but nothing has worked long term.
• Want to finally feel ease and peace about food, while also feeling good in your body.
• Are tired of trying to figure it out on your own.
• Know that more dieting or relying on your “willpower” won’t work or feel good. 

The MommaStrong FUEL program was developed specifically for MommaStrong members. It is a foundation that helps you make sustainable choices about your health that contribute to a positive relationship with food, on your terms. We are not here to define what health looks like for you, or to put fences around how to get there. Maybe you will be plant-based or a total carnivore. Maybe you will start drinking green juice or going back to loving coffee after years of quitting. Maybe you will want to gain weight or lose weight. Maybe you will want to reduce inflammation or improve your gut health, or maybe you’ll surprise yourself with an entirely new definition of what healthy even means. You will decide all that later, on your terms, and based on your unique needs and wants. We actually do not care about those decisions. It is simply our belief that these decisions have to come from befriending your body FIRST. So, instead of diving into a program of rigid rules and restriction, FUEL is our opportunity to be rebelliously healthy for the long haul.

There are several different parts to FUEL. As a MommaStrong member you will get access to the expert community and the FUEL Intro course. If you like what you see and want to dig even deeper, you can choose to purchase the full FUEL: Befriending Your Body course. This course is a deep dive into the science of weight loss and dieting; cultural perceptions about weight, food, and health; investigating our feelings around food and eating, and learning to feed ourselves with ease. We also offer an optional pre- and postnatal section with nearly 30 videos covering the unique nutritional needs during pregnancy and postpartum, fueling while breastfeeding, and gestational diabetes.

The FUEL: Befriend Your Body course will take you about 15 minutes a day, a few times a week for about 8 weeks. As always MommaStrong recognizes that you know yourself best. If you choose to go faster or slower that is always A-OK.

The FUEL approach was created with the same values as our MommaStrong functional fitness program, with the added expertise of our Registered Dietitians and our team of Mental Health professionals, to bring you the most up to date research and guidance. You can trust that the FUEL: Befriend Your Body course will help you build a foundation of knowledge that will serve you for the rest of your life. No matter what you decide to tackle next, you are in charge. We want you to learn and explore and figure out what is right for you, because you are the only one who can truly know. But first—we want to make sure you are equipped with the tools you need to make those choices.

Our focus is not on weight loss. Instead we provide education to help you unlearn the false narrative about weight and health that we’ve all been raised with, learn to listen to your body and honor its signals and needs, and truly nourish yourself through the different stages of pregnancy and parenthood. This may result in weight loss over time, but this is not our objective. As with our MommaStrong fitness program, we value function over appearance.
