Hi, I’m Dr. Christine Sauer. I am a physician, a naturopath and a survivor.
Having struggled with emotional eating for most of my life, I am passionate about now helping others to have a healthy relationship with food and their body.
Most of my life I struggled with my weight and my relationship with food. I was chubby as a child and even my mom told me that I looked fat.
So I would constantly berate myself because I wasn’t happy with how I looked and how I felt.
I just wanted to feel confident and good in my body. So I tried diet after diet - I was constantly looking for the next “food plan” or “healthy lifestyle” to make me feel better about myself.
From weight watchers meetings to eating more vegetables to eating low fat to trying this and that, nothing really worked.
None of them were sustainable. I felt defeated and like a failure. After I had two slipped disks and suffered chronic back pain and had to give up my flourishing practice in Germany, I even fell into a bad depression. The medications I received and the increased emotional eating made my weight spiral completely out of control. At my highest, in 2005, I weighed over 325 lbs at 5’9”.
That’s when I decided that there HAD to be a better way...
After years of “starting over” every Monday morning, I made a decision to change my life and searched for a new way. Since I was so morbidly obese, I decided on starting with surgery. It worked and I lost 150 lbs in the next year and 6 months. But as many of you may know, the struggle starts when you try to keep the lost weight off.
And that’s when I discovered an entirely new approach to eating and health called Intuitive Eating. I combined it for myself with other modalities like the ones I describe in my “Finally Thin Forever” Course, and especially with Havening Techniques®, and I still do that for those clients who have complex health issues and who elect to work with me individually.
But when I worked with clients, I discovered that for many, just resolving the ONE most crucial hurdle to lasting weight loss, emotional eating, was often enough.
Havening led me to some pretty incredible results…
I learned how to eat and take care of myself in ways that felt good, not like a punishment.
I felt a new freedom and confidence with food and my body.
I was no longer obsessing and counting food.
I even felt confident and relaxed around food.
Then I started working with my clients with this non-diet approach. . .
They experienced the same peace with food, feeling satisfied & enjoying the food they ate.
Here’s what I know…
By the time a woman reaches her 45th birthday, it is estimated that she has tried 61 diets, food plans, programs, lifestyle changes, detoxes, and cleanses.
Diets have a 98% failure rate. Research shows that while diets may result in immediate weight loss, there is no (or hardly any) sustained weight loss after 3-5 years with any diet plan.
The number one predictor of weight gain is dieting.
Diets cause slowed metabolism, weight gain and even eating disorders.
You are not a failure, the diets were the failure all along.
I used to constantly search for the secret hack that I thought everyone else knew. It makes perfect sense that I was always searching for a smaller body and “perfect food plan” because this was what I was taught since I was a little girl.
When I stopped focusing on losing weight, I finally was able to create a whole new relationship with food.
I had a whole new outlook on my health, food and body image. And now I want to help you experience this.
Introducing…
FUSION - Making Peace With Your Plate
Making Peace with Your Plate is based on the principles of Intuitive Eating
...the most effective, research-based way for you to create a healthy relationship with food and finally get off the diet roller coaster!
Intuitive Eaters have higher self-esteem, life satisfaction, and body appreciation, along with greater motivation to move and exercise. They also have less emotional eating, fewer binge eating episodes, and lower blood pressure.
And combined with Havening Techniques, preliminary scientific evidence shows that it is the most effective method to keep the extra weight off long-term.
The principles of Intuitive Eating - combined with Self-Havening - allow you to reestablish trust with yourself and create a healthy relationship with food and your body.
You don’t need to count every macro, calorie or point that you eat every single meal for the rest of your life.
