This type of peace & freedom is possible for you too.
10 Steps To Food Freedom
An audio course for the person who has tried Weight Watchers, Intermittent Fasting, & "lifestyle changes" but still ends up on the couch with a bag of tortilla chips wondering "what's wrong with me?"
You’ve tried it all: calorie counting, fasting, macro tracking, “lifestyle changes...”
Each time you swore *this time will be different.* You cleared out the pantry. Re-downloaded the tracking app. Told yourself: no more sweets after dinner.
But by Friday night, you're standing over the sink eating chocolate chips from the bag — again — thinking, What the hell is wrong with me?
Restriction. Obsession. Guilt.
Then Monday comes… and you’re googling “sugar detox” with a knot in your stomach.
It’s exhausting. And it’s not your fault.
Diet culture has trained you to believe that your body is a problem to fix, and that you just need more “willpower.” But the truth is: your body isn’t broken. The system is.
10 Steps to Food Freedom is here to help you step off that roller coaster—so you can finally feel calm, confident, and normal around food.
Finally stop the binge–restrict cycle — no more “being so good” all week, then inhaling tortilla chips in secret and waking up bloated, ashamed, and Googling a new diet by Monday.
Rebuild trust with your body even if keeping Oreos in the house still feels terrifying)
Actually feel your hunger and fullness cues and know how to respond without spiraling into “Did I eat too much? Should I skip dinner?”
Let go of food guilt — so you can enjoy cheese, pasta, bread (yes, real bread) without doing mental gymnastics to “earn it.”
Create lasting peace with food without counting, tracking, or starting over on Monday.
These are the type of wins that are possible for you when you implement the framework I teach in 10 Steps to Food Freedom:

“For almost 50 years, I’d been consumed by food rules, body image, and trying to look a certain way. I was hesitant to invest because I truly didn’t think it was possible for me to heal—but I also couldn’t stand one more day of being trapped in that cycle. Working with Leah has been one of the most impactful experiences of my life.
Today, the food noise is almost all gone. I no longer stress about traveling or eating out, and I can finally choose what I actually want to eat without feeling out of control. Working on my relationship with food has been a life-changing investment in my happiness, my freedom, and my future. I feel like I have my life back, and I don’t think it would have been possible without Leah”

The 10 Steps Inside the Course
Ep 1: Why You Feel So Out of Control Around Food (& Why It's Not Your Fault).
If you’ve ever felt like food has way too much power over you, this episode will help you understand why. You’ll learn why restriction backfires, why your body size isn't your fault, and what the science really says about weight and health. Most importantly, you’ll see that there's a reason food and body image has felt so heavy for so many years.
Ep 2: Letting Go Without Losing Control.
Explore how weight cycling harms your health, why diet culture reinforces deeper social injustices, and how its messages quietly shapes your values. You’ll get practical tools for detangling yourself from diet culture so you can reconnect with your body's innate wisdom and start eating intuitively!
Ep 3: You Deleted the App, But Diet Culture's Still in Your Head. Now What?
Even after tossing the diet books and deleting MyFitnessPal, those old food rules often linger. This step teaches you how to rewire those unhelpful thoughts. You'll learn how to build new neural pathways using the "And Statement." You'll also learn how your negative food mindset wasn't just harming you mentally, but also physically.
Ep 4: Can't Tell When You're Actually Hungry? Let's Fix That.
If you’ve been outsourcing your eating decisions to food rules or apps, the muscle of dropping into your body is likely very rusty. In this step you'll learn how to not only hear your cues, but also honor them. You'll learn all about the Hunger Fullness Scale (my favorite resource!) and you'll get an assignment to practice implementing it.
Ep 5: You Need More Food in Your House. Seriously.
Diet culture teaches you that you shouldn't keep too much food in the house because you can't be trusted to have enough "discipline." In this episode, you'll learn why limiting your access to food actually triggers overeating, how to approach stocking your home, and how food abundance impacts your brain.
Ep 6: Satisfaction Matters (Way More Than You Think).
Feeling full doesn’t always mean feeling satisfied—and when satisfaction is missing, it often leads to cravings, constant thoughts about food, or overeating later. This episode explores why pleasure is a vital part of nourishment, how enjoying your food actually improves digestion, and ideas for how to infuse satisfaction into your meals and snacks.
Ep 7: 'l Can't Keep That in the House' & Other Lies
Feeling out of control around certain foods doesn’t mean you’re “addicted”—it’s often the result of restriction. This episode unpacks the science behind forbidden foods, explains the habituation effect, and guides you through a controlled experiment to rebuild trust with your "bingey" foods.
Ep 8: Why You Keep Eating When You're Full (& How to Stop)
Stopping when you’re full can feel easier said than done. This episode explores the reasons why overeating happens. You’ll learn how to recognize "the want beneath the want," navigate social situations, and respond to overeating with curiosity, not shame.
Ep 9: The One Where We Talk About Nutrition
Contrary to common misconceptions, Intuitive Eating is not just eating whatever you want. It's also about using objective nutrition science to optimize how you want to feel in your body. In this step, you'll learn simple nutrition science so you can build optimized meals and snacks from a place of self-care, not self-control.
Ep 10: Body Image FAQ from Bri Campos
While this audio course mainly focuses on feeling normal around food, we can't talk about food without talking about body image. In this episode, body image therapist Bri Campos goes through common concerns like: "I hate how I look in photos." "What if I'm uncomfortable with my body size?" "How do I deal with the fear of being judged for my body?" At the end of the episode, she leaves you with 5 things you can do to work on feeling more confident in your body right now.
If you've ever wondered why you can't just feel NORMAL around food, this is your next step.

Meet your course instructor, Leah Kern, RD
Hi there, I'm Leah, an anti-diet dietitian and certified intuitive eating counselor who specializes in helping people heal their relationships with food and body. My approach to coaching is firmly evidence-based, rooted in the Health At Every Size (HAES®) & Intuitive Eating frameworks. I believe that the work involved with unraveling years of conditioning in diet culture and learning to come home to one’s body is deeply spiritual work, and I treat it as such.
I'm also no stranger to overeating, binge eating, emotional eating, & feeling out of control around food. For years, food consumed my life. I tried everything to get my eating under control, but my binge eating only got worse until I found Intuitive Eating.
It is my mission to teach you to feel at peace and control around food so you can live your most pleasurable, fulfilling life without being burdened by disordered eating.

“Before working with Leah, I felt failure and disappointment for spending so much time, energy, and money stuck in a cycle built on restriction, fear, and distrust. I was hoping to gain a sense of peace and trust around my relationship with food. Little did I know I would also be coming to terms with a deeper peace and trust in my relationship with myself, my emotions, and my identity. Food has become something I associate with care, nourishment, and enjoyment, rather than an association with anxiety and shame. Food is finally simple."
— Sofie S.
“Six months ago, I would have never thought I’d be where I am today; in this place of harmony with my body. I genuinely feel lighter, happier, and more connected after doing this work. Working with Leah changed not only my relationship with food and my body but also my relationship to what I embody and how I live my life; I truly have become attuned to my authentic self and my intuition. My perspective and opinion of myself have improved drastically and my life has just gotten better."
— Erica H.
No more waiting until Monday. No more “just one more diet.” It’s time to be free.
You might be wondering...
How do I listen to this audio course?
Once you enroll, you’ll get instant access to a private podcast feed through Hello Audio. That means you can listen just like you would with any other podcast—on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite player. The only difference is that it’s private: you’ll receive a special link that’s just for you, and once you add it to your podcast app, the episodes will show up right alongside the other podcasts you already listen to.
How is this different from your free podcast?
If you've been listening to my free podcast, Shoulders Down, and learning a lot, you might be wondering what's the difference between that and this paid course? Fair question — and one I’d ask, too. Here’s the truth:
My free podcast is designed to open the conversation — to offer ideas, insight, and validation. It’s exploratory, sometimes broad, sometimes deep. But 10 Steps to Food Freedom isn’t just more info. It’s transformation.
The course is structured as a guided path — one step building on the next. Every lesson ends with a clear, actionable takeaway. It’s not about just about thinking; it's about applying what you're learning.
If the podcast is like eavesdropping on a really good conversation, this course is like having me in your ear, coaching you through the shift, step by step.
So if you’ve felt supported by my free content, imagine what’s possible when you follow a clear, intentional, proven process — designed to help you unlearn what’s been keeping you stuck, and relearn how to trust your body again.
What if I want 1:1 coaching?
If you’re craving deeper support and personalized guidance beyond the audio course, I also offer 1:1 coaching. Together, we’ll untangle the diet rules, rebuild trust with your body, and create a relationship with food that actually feels peaceful and sustainable. Click here to learn more and apply for coaching.
Will this course help with body image?
The main focus of this course is your relationship with food. That said, food and body image are deeply connected, which is why you’ll find a dedicated episode on body image featuring Bri Campos. While this course won’t take you through the full body image healing journey, it will give you tools to feel calmer and more grounded around food—something that naturally creates space for body image work.
What if I have another question you didn’t answer here?
No problem! You can always reach out directly. Just send me an email at leah@leahkernrd.com and I’ll be happy to answer your questions.
“I used to obsess over calories and ‘earning’ my food and I’d weigh myself constantly. I was exhausted. I frequently left meals with friends feeling sick and like I didn’t engage with them enough because I was so distracted by stomach aches and feelings of guilt. Now, I make my body a priority and trust her to tell me what she needs, when she needs energy and fuel and when she has had enough. I am now energetic and my best-loving self.
Much of my body image baggage and food obsession has been lifted, and it’s really been the best thing for me. I am able to be present with those I love, enjoy flavors, and pay attention to my food with my friends. I certainly find myself laughing much more."
— Tess N
This program started as another purchase in a decades-long search for thinness and happiness. But I felt so weary from years of worthless purchases. I promised myself that this was the absolute last expense… and it was! I stopped binging! Never in a million years did I plan on removing sneak eating and binging from my life. Whenever I was angry or frustrated, I would retreat to my hiding places and soothe myself with candy. Today, I have my box of happy food, lovingly available. I recognize the difference between emotions and true hunger. My mood has stabilized. My relationships have improved. My labs have even improved.
If you’re thinking about investing in a program with Leah, know that the twisting, tortuous path of dieting and binging can be behind you. This will truly be the last purchase you ever make.

Final Thoughts
If you’ve made it this far, you’re probably sitting with a few doubts like...
"I'm worried that if I follow my intuition, I'll just eat cookies and candy and 'junk' forever and that can't be healthy."
So valid. You care about your health, and you’ve probably been told for years that without rules, you’ll lose control.In the beginning, intuitive eating can mean eating more of the foods that were once off-limits, but when foods are no longer forbidden, they lose their power. You stop putting them on a pedestal. Over time, the urgency fades because your body finally trusts that it’s allowed to have what it wants.
People practicing intuitive eating actually become more attuned to how food makes them feel, and more intrinsically motivated to care for their health — not less. That’s when things like balance, variety, and nourishment start to happen naturally.
“What if this is just another thing I spend money on that doesn’t work?”
You don’t need another fix. You need a framework that actually addresses the root of the binge-restrict cycle — not a band-aid or quick hack. This is not more of the same. It’s the last thing you’ll ever need to buy for your relationship with food.
“I’m too far gone. Food freedom isn’t possible for me.”
You’re not too far gone— promise. You’re just exhausted. And this course was built exactly for the person who feels stuck, broken, or "unfixable."
“My relationship with food isn’t bad enough to justify help.”
You don’t have to hit rock bottom to deserve peace. You don’t have to be bingeing daily or restricting intensely to be worthy of help. If food takes up more mental space than you want it to, that’s reason enough.
“I’ve tried intuitive eating before, and it didn’t work.”
Chances are, you were relying on scattered tips from social media, not a step-by-step system that rewires the diet-culture pathways in your brain. This course takes you through that process in the right order, with the right support.
“I don't trust myself to complete this course.”
This isn’t another clunky platform you’ll forget about. You’ll get the lessons right inside your favorite podcast app — the same one you already open every day. Listen while you walk, drive, commute, or get ready in the morning. It’s designed to fit into your life without requiring seperate carved out time.
If something in you is whispering “I want this peace”… trust that. Future-you is already thanking you.
You deserve to feel free. And you’re closer than you think.
