Author: Elyse Resch

Elyse Resch works as a registered dietitian nutritionist and nutrition therapist who co-created the Intuitive Eating framework. The Intuitive Eating Workbook for Teens adapts that approach for adolescents through explanations, reflections, and exercises concerning hunger, satisfaction, body respect, movement, and freedom from diet rules. New Harbinger published the workbook in 2019. Resch developed Intuitive Eating with Evelyn Tribole and has also coauthored The Intuitive Eating Workbook and the Intuitive Eating Card Deck. Her independent books include The Intuitive Eating Journal. Before entering nutrition practice, she worked as an elementary school teacher, an experience she has connected to her interest in how early messages about food and bodies affect later life. Resch’s clinical work specializes in eating disorders, intuitive eating, and weight-inclusive care, and she trains other health professionals. The Intuitive Eating Workbook for Teens uses that background to address the pressures adolescents encounter without presenting eating as a test of willpower. Its guided format encourages observation, self-compassion, and a more trusting relationship with internal signals.
