Dr. Michelle May is a rare voice of wisdom, compassion, and common sense. She is funny, smart, and incredibly generous with her time and insights. When I first came to her, I was desperate -- I had tried every diet under the sun and even gastric bypass surgery. Not surprisingly, none of it worked to change my relationship with food. What I saw as the answer -- diets, restriction, self-hatred, unrealistic expectations -- were actually the problem. Thanks to Dr. May and the community she has created, I have begun to make friends with food and with my body. The result has been life-changing. I am incredibly grateful for her and for her work.

I have found working with Dr. May's group for a month more helpful than a year of nutritional counseling one-to-one. The support and wisdom of the group she leads has been invaluable. As we unravel our disordered eating together, I have learned from each person and gained a greater respect for myself.

What I have most appreciated about group coaching is the discovery that I am not alone in dealing with my problems with food. In other people I found a piece of myself. Their story was partly mine too. And in their sharing, I could understand patterns with food I had been carrying for a lifetime. Listening to other people has helped me to be more human, more loving and compassionate, able to accept their vulnerability and mine, to love that part that is struggling but which is trying hard to heal and make peace. All under the attentive, patient, loving and wise presence of Michelle who helps us find the most functional answers and strategies for each of us.

What participants say about the program...

How it all started…

Meet-your-guide-Michelle-May-MD

These days, I eat what I love and love what I eat. But it wasn't always this way...

I was a Family Physician who secretly struggled with disordered eating. I had been yo-yo dieting since middle school and wondered if I would ever find a way to manage my eating.

I was surprised to realize how many of my patients had similar struggles. Like me, they were successful in many areas of their lives but felt stuck where eating was concerned.

I also noticed my husband and two young children didn’t struggle with food at all. They naturally ate when they were hungry, ate whatever they wanted, and stopped when they were full. And of course, they never dieted.

That was my turning point - literally!

I was on my way back to Weight Watchers after a particularly discouraging weekend of overeating, when I turned my car around and said out loud, “I’m done with dieting!”

It sounds simple, but it wasn’t easy. I had to unlearn decades of restrictive diet messages and relearn to listen to (and trust!) my instinctive wisdom about feeding myself.

It changed my life!

I felt inspired to share what I had discovered to free others from the prison of the eat-repent-repeat cycle.
