Appetite Insight
Navigating Food Psychology and Eating Behaviour
What is the Appetite Insight eating behaviour program?
Appetite Insight is a comprehensive 6-session (weekly or fortnightly) individualised program designed to explore the intricacies of eating behaviour and weight regulation. The program will help you navigate the psychological, emotional, biological, environmental, and social factors that impact your eating behaviour and relationship with food. The Appetite Insight program will support you in developing invaluable insight and practical tools to achieve a healthier, balanced, and mindful approach to eating. The program is available in person or via telehealth video call.
The Appetite Insight eating behaviour program includes:
- A comprehensive eating behaviour pre-assessment including scoring and interpretation to ensure the program is tailored to your needs.
- An extended 1.5-hours initial assessment to review and elaborate on information from the pre-assessment, set clear goals for the program, and provide information about the program structure.
- Five 50-minute weekly or fortnightly appointments, each appointment focusing on a different aspect of eating behaviour. Each session is individualist to your needs so no two programs will look the same.
Goal of Appetite Insight
- Increase your knowledge of healthy eating habits, nutrition, eating physiology, and how the body regulations weight.
- Identify factors that contribute to disordered eating patterns which result in poor health.
- Improve self-awareness of your internal physiological cues (e.g., hunger and fullness) and emotions (e.g., anxiety, frustration, boredom, etc.) to have more freedom in your food choice.
- Reduce your food cravings.
- ‘Reprogram’ your tastebuds to increase appreciation for subtle flavours of foods. In other words, reduce the desire to eat foods high in sugar, fat, and salt.
- Improve your relationship with food.
- Develop alternate coping strategies instead of relying on food.
- Improved awareness of subtle social cues that influence eating behaviour.
- Learn meal preparation and organisation skills to support healthy eating habits.

What the Appetite Insight program is not
Appetite Insight is a program designed to provide you with knowledge and tools to better understand and positively alter your eating behaviours. Although weight management is discussed during the program and weight loss may occur due to changes in eating behaviour, weight loss is not the goal of the program.
This program is distinct from therapy and is not intended to treat eating disorders or address significant body image concerns. Individual therapy can be provided as an alternative option for those seeking more focused support. You will also have the option for additional therapy after the completion of the program to explore deeper body image, anxiety, and/or emotional problems.
