You are
THE BOSS!
What’s great about being The Boss:
You actively seek out solutions to change your life, body, or relationship to food. You like it when someone gives you a proven framework, so you can push yourself to follow the guidelines. With a list to check off and a structure to follow, you can do anything.
You try your best to show up and take good care of yourself. You have high-standards and you hold yourself to them.
You get excited about following a new system or structure and enjoy imagining what’s possible for you and your body. You have a strong sense of willpower that often helps you to follow through with your intentions.
Self-care is a high value of yours and your capacity for willpower means you’re good at instituting new habits, even if you don’t always stick with them forever.
THE CHALLENGE OF BEING THE BOSS
The challenge for you as The Boss is that your desire to be perfect and get things “right,” ends up backfiring. Eventually, every diet fails. Your willpower, as strong as you are, always falters after too many stressors in one day, or when life disrupts your carefully laid plans.
Then you end up eating everything that wasn’t on your diet, and feel terrible about it.
The Boss is a pro at the yo-yo.
You are exhausted by the constant striving for perfection, and the seemingly inevitable meltdown that eventually happens in the pantry while no one is looking.
What you need to learn, dear Boss, is to let go of your need for control around what you eat.
You think that your inability to stop eating foods on your “no-no list” is the problem. But your deep desire to control your eating is actually the problem.
Okay, but how do you do that?
Is the answer to lose control completely? Am I suggesting you live in the land of OUT OF CONTROL?! (Because you could totally do that, with a whole pizza and buffalo wings).
But this is more like mental jiu jitsu where you are empowered to actively choose what you eat without the pull of the pendulum swing.
The struggle with perfectionism is real — we are rewarded by our society when we look and act perfect. We suffer shame when we can’t (and we’re all humans here — perfection isn’t a real thing!). It’s extra frustrating because you really do NAIL IT in so many areas of your life. Food may be the one place you don’t have nearly perfect control.
There’s a reason for that.
Food is your pressure release valve.
Even though you’re so dang good at controlling and organizing your life and executing your plans, food is where your capacity for control falters because - BECAUSE! - Every Other Area of Your Life is Under Such Tight Control.
I know I can’t tell you to just “loosen up.” Perfectionism goes so much deeper than that. It’s how you gather and sustain your sense of self-worth.
Being in a smaller body, having the right career, the ideal family, the clean house, the new car — you’re showing the world how worthy you are (but also, it’s exhausting). It takes so much mental energy and time to look like you’ve got it all together (plus hiding the shame and self-judgment you feel because you know you’re not actually perfect!).
HERE’S THE CORE STRUGGLE (READY?)
It’s not a food problem, or willpower problem — it’s an enoughness problem.
And that’s why diets don’t work (one of many, many reasons diets don’t work!). Diets lead people to developing binge eating, food obsession and weight gain in the longer term because they only address the surface symptom - food! It’s not about the food.
It’s never about the food.
For you, dear Boss, it’s about chasing enoughness through perfectionism and control. Which leads to restrictive eating, which pulls the pendulum to one side, and when LIFE inevitably happens in all of its messy imperfection, the pendulum swings erratically over to eating in a way that feels “out of control.”
Cue self-judgment and shame. And around and around the pattern goes.
I know - you’re thinking:
“Well, that’s good to know, but how do I stop unwanted eating????”
Even when you’ve just gotten out of a stressful meeting and there’s no one else in the breakroom to see you take a donut… or three.
Get The One Minute Magic Mini-Course to help you step off the crazy train of food obsession.
Let me tell you about this 1-minute per day tool to stop unwanted eating before it ever even starts.
I call it the One Minute Magic Tool and it takes 20 minutes to learn, and just one minute a day to practice.
This is the #1 tool you can use to get your conscious mind back online before you end up swinging over to shame-eating, even when…
- Dinner with the inlaws made you fall off the plan and your willpower is glitching
- Putting out fires at work or at home causes a stress-overload
- A bad night’s sleep leads to a late morning and there’s a cake pop staring you down in the Starbucks line
- You’re about to start a new diet, but before you do… you’re going to eat EVERYTHING on your “no-no” list
I believe in this one tool so strongly, I’m offering it to you as an a la carte Mini Course for $37.00 (normally, you’d have to sign up for the whole Path to Food Freedom program to access this).
"Before Natalie's class I was feeling like my eating was out of control on a daily basis.
My relationship with food was very dysfunctional. I spent a lot of time obsessing about food, eating too much food and feeling a lot of guilt and shame. Constantly judging myself with negative thought patterns was probably the worst part.
One of the biggest things I learned was how many people struggling with food are perfectionist overachiever type personalities. [I realized how] being a perfectionist was not really serving me. Everything that I learned in [Natalie’s] class has been immediately something that is applicable to my life.
It’s been five months and I haven't binged. I feel like my out of control eating is a thing of the past.”
Boss, I know this is a hard one for you, but you don’t need more control in your life. You do need more space to think clearly and choose what you actually want.
Get the One Minute Magic Tool to find the space you need to step out of food obsession and stop unwanted eating before it starts.
What you get:
Four 5-minute videos to teach you the tool and how to apply it to stop out-of-control eating before it starts.
In these videos, we’ll go over:
- Why you’re (really) eating in a way that feels out of control
- How to use the One Minute Magic Tool to stop unwanted eating before it even starts,
- How to step off the crazy train of food obsession for good.
- BONUS: 3 Additional Tools to use with One Minute Magic, whether you catch yourself before, during or after unwanted eating.
This is for you if:
- You’re exhausted by the struggle of always trying to recover from your last unwanted eating episode (cue the shame and the stomach ache)
- You want to have your mind-blown that it could actually be this simple to stop your next out-of-control eating before it ever even starts,
- You just don’t have the time or energy for the next new and improved "lifestyle change" that is going to solve all of your problems. (Hint: it won't actually, it's just going to perpetuate them.)
Hi, I’m Natalie Forsythe, and I’ve tried just about everything too. I started my first diet at fourteen, and by the time I left high school, I was struggling with full blown bulimia and felt totally out of control. Those were terrible days. I spent years stuck in the cycle between the newest shiny fad diet and the darkest days of super emotionally-charged binge eating sessions.
I knew that I needed to change but I didn't know how.
I tried:
- nutritionists
- therapy
- restrictive diets
- personal trainers
- Personal development books
- A kitchen full of special containers to pre-cook and pre-measure foods for the week
- & just plain trying harder
None of it helped for long. Looking back now, I see how many of the things I tried actually made my eating struggles worse.
It wasn't until I met a coach who introduced me to the tools that changed my life forever that I finally discovered that it is totally possible to rewire the brain and create new behaviors over time. It just takes practice.
I stopped binging. I learned how to eat in a way that felt “normal.” My mind was BLOWN!
And that’s how I became a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and a Professional Certified Coach. I have spent thousands of hours coaching and teaching hundreds of students through my Path to Food Freedom curriculum, and what I can tell you for sure is: Your struggles with food aren’t about the food.
Most new students think their problem is:
Out-of-Control Eating
Binge Eating
Emotional Eating
Food Obsession
Yoyo dieting
Body Shame
Self Sabotage
Lack of Willpower
Reward Eating
But really, the dysfunctional relationship with food stems from something deeper:
Judgment
Restrictive Eating
Yoyo dieting
Endlessly pursuing weight loss
Trauma
No Boundaries
Over-Giving
People Pleasing
Neglecting your physical Body
Black and White Thinking
Perfectionism
Lack of Self-Worth
If I could send a message to every woman who is unhappy with her body, it’s this:
You can do this.
Just take the very next step.

what you do and don’t consume.
And when you change that — you have a chance to change everything.
You don’t have to stay stuck

THE PATH TO FOOD FREEDOM
isn't about giving up or giving in.
It's about BREAKING FREE.
It’s a membership and community-supported process to support women like us to leave behind:
● Obsessing over every calorie, point, micro and macro
● Controlling and restricting, only to eat a muffin and dive into “well, if I can’t do it perfectly, fuck it. Might as well not do it at all!” (Cue binge.)
● Feeling worthless, broken, powerless and ashamed — judging yourself for blowing all of that “progress” again
● Bingeing even more to comfort, to punish, to rebel...Until the cycle begins again.

I can remember spooning brown sugar into my mouth as a toddler and stealing Ritz cracker sleeves as an 8-year-old. I went on my first restrictive diet and exercise regimen at 14, and had a full blown eating disorder by high school.
For five years I actively searched for therapists, dieticians, nutritionists who understood that all the ‘regular paths’ to weight loss were diametrically opposed to my mental health. But most of them didn’t share my struggle, weren’t trained in eating disorders, and kept prescribing strict meal plans that increased disordered eating behaviors.
I felt so alone and wished for a community of women (and professionals) who really got me, who could walk alongside me. So I created it.
The Path to Food Freedom is more than a course, and it’s more than a community. It’s a close-knit circle of women who understand each others’ struggles and celebrate each other’s progress — not as dictated by the scale, but measured in how much of yourself, your life and your happiness you reclaim.
Some of the women in The Path to Food Freedom have been with me for over six years. They talk to each other every day. They tell each other things about their lives that nobody else knows. They’re best friends.
I hear you — you’re thinking:
“Well, if we’re not dieting or trying to control…
what exactly are we doing?”
WHAT IS THE PATH TO FOOD FREEDOM?
The goal we’re working towards is what I call
“Empowered Choice."
Where you feel genuinely empowered to choose what you eat and how you move your body by:
LEARNING TO LISTEN TO YOUR BODY
Stop dieting for good and become an “intuitive eater” who makes empowered choices about how you eat—without a diet or meal plan.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU VALUE AND HOW YOU WANT TO FEEL
Cultivate a new joy for life that leads to creating MORE of what yout truly want. Deal with any emotions without turning to food to cope.
LETTING GO OF
JUDGEMENT
Bust out of perfectionistic black-and-white thinking . . . and get off the pendulum swing of the yoyo diet/binge/body shame cycle.
FINDING THE COURAGE TO TAKE A STAND FOR YOUR OWN WELL-BEING
Change your thoughts and rewire your brain. Say goodbye to feelings of shame and judgment around food and our bodies!
All without restricting or bingeing.
If that sounds harder than counting calories, it is.
At least in the beginning.
It’s also more effective at improving your long-term mental, emotional, spiritual and physical well-being.
This is how you become stronger.
This is how you say “no thank you” to what you don’t really want on your plate, and in your life.
This is how you say HELL YES to yourself.
This is how you start to move into greater alignment with what you value and how you want to feel.
And that is completely different from the willpower-to-bingeing pendulum swing, the black and white, all or nothing, saint or sinner, perfectionistic model that keeps us going around in circles.
Claim freedom.
Drop judgement.
Show up and be empowered in choice.
With a ton of support from women who get it.
That’s The Deal.
If I haven’t been clear already: This program is not: a weight loss program. There is no meal plan. I’m not telling you what you can or can’t eat (anyone tries to promise long-term weight loss is perpetuating the problem).
This is also not therapy and doesn’t take its place. And this is not a space where you get to complain and not actually do the work to make positive change.
And, this isn’t just about food. (None of this stuff is really about food). This is about how we, as complicated humans, deal with our thoughts, emotions and the needs of our bodies.
This is about truly claiming your own inherent worthiness.

About me:
Oh hey! I'm Natalie Forsythe: plant-lady extraordinaire, van-camping adventure queen, and founder of the Path to Food Freedom in 2015.
More than anything, The Path to Food Freedom gives our members the skills to rewire their brains about food . . . and to live a life of freedom and joy.
Qualifications
My Mission
I founded The Path to Food Freedom to help women like me, and you, to reclaim our power, strength and dignity. Frankly, what our society leads us to believe about how to be with our minds, bodies and emotions doesn’t work, and leads us to relying on other people to tell us what to do, how to live, how to think, and, of course, what to eat. We spend our money to look like an airbrushed model, we spend our time, energy and brainpower trying to feel worthy, and the systems we buy into set us up to fail.
I designed The Path to Food Freedom with everything proven to set you up for success. To give you back your time, your brain power, your energy — and your sovereignty. When I say this isn’t about weight, or even food, I mean it. This is about a revolution of women taking back what’s ours. Are you with me? I can't wait to see what you are going to do, once you reclaim all of your precious mental energy and time.
My Passions
- Propagating succulents in my backyard, in Berkeley, CA
- Exploring the National Parks-- southern Utah is my FAVORITE.
- Creating kiln-formed glass art for friends when they get married or have babies (this was my first career in my 20's!)
- Finding beauty in nature--fractals anybody? IFYKYK
- Making magical dinner parties for and with dear friends
- Going on wild adventures abroad with my dear old dad (Greece is next!)
- Supporting my community members to get in touch with their own passions.
This community is a place of profound transformation. The tools, the incredible support, and the community WORK!
Everyday we hear magical stories of people stopping a binge before it even started, or celebrating a milestone - like not bingeing for 3 years!!
That’s why I have taken away all of the risk by offering a 1-month money back guarantee.
If you are unsatisfied for any reason within your first 30 days, all you have to do is send us an email, and we will refund your money, no questions asked.

Here are a few short quotes from our students:
"This program has been a huge part of my life. I have made changes that I never thought possible. It feels miraculous. I so appreciate Natalie." -Tracey, five months in the community.
"I was bingeing daily. Minimum of three times a week. I would say it has been three or four weeks since i’ve binged. I bought Hershey’s kisses after Christmas and still have them left in my jar six weeks later." -Cathy, three months in the community.
"I was grasping at straws when I showed up. I was binge eating all the time. These days, I'm feeling happy. I'm not stressed out. I'm feeling really healthy and good inside about life. I’m making choices to feel good. I haven’t binged in at least a month." -Shellie, eight months in the community.
"All my eating was unconscious eating and it was Last Supper eating everyday. Maybe 10% of the time time is unconscious now. There has been such a huge huge shift in the way I eat. It has been tremendous." -Jana, nine months in the community.
"I would eat less on the weekdays, then I would spend Saturday and Sunday bingeing and sick. These days look way different. I can't even remember the last time I binged. I have all of this new mental space. I joined a dance class. I'm going to be performing at this festival. I would have never done that before this program." -Jacklyn, four months in the community.
"I was dieting and working out twice and day. And then the pendulum would swing and I would eat everything. I was out-of-control. I was way out of control. I have learned that I don’t have to be in the extremes. I don’t have to be a perfectionist. I’ve learned self-care. I used to eat out-of-control every other day. I can’t even remember how long since I have eaten that way. So, that means it has been months." -Vicki, six months into the program.
Natalie is a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor with her Bachelor's in Psychology from Marlboro College and a Processional Certificate in Eating and Weight Disorders from UC Berkeley. She is certified by The Coaches Training Institute as a Certified Co-Active Coach and by the International Coaching Federation as a Professional Certified Coach.
But her extensive training is only half of what she brings to the table. Natalie recovered from a decade long struggle with Bulimia. She knows the throes of yoyo dieting, binge eating and emotional eating. This has been her own path to freedom. It is her life mission now to help thousands upon thousands of women to experience the freedom she has found for herself.
Maybe. But, that really is not what this program is about. The Path to Food Freedom is a weight neutral approach.
We are here to find freedom from the mental obsession with food and body. We are here to heal our food relationships. Focusing on weight is a part of the pendulum swing which keeps people stuck. Purposeful weight loss has been shown to result in greater weight gain for the vast majority of people.
Some people do lose weight because they lost the obsession, and learned how to listen to their bodies. Other people lost the obsession and their bodies stayed the same, or perhaps even gained weight.
Every body is different. Depending upon where you are on the pendulum swing, and taking into account metabolic and genetic factors outside of your control, your body will find its own balance, even if it isn’t the number that you have in mind. You will get lots of tools to help you change your mind about the importance of weight as an indicator of your health and worth.
Most importantly, you will come to deeply know that you are inherently worthy. Your weight does not dictate your worthiness. Your brilliance will begin to shine, more and more each day you are in the community.
First off, most of the time when people say they have tried everything, we discover that they have tried every diet, maybe read a few books about binge eating, maybe done a little therapy. But they haven’t actually learned the proven tools, nor have they gotten the real support they need over time to make lasting changes.
One of the things that sets our community apart the most: your Inner Circle and Mentor. You get to grow genuine friendships with these women. You can show up as much as you want (some people check in multiple times a day, others a few times a month. You do you boo!) The more you put into these relationships, the more you will get out!
This is about walking the path alongside other people who get it. When you really show up to your Inner Circle and on our Live Calls, you will make life long friends. These women get you. We all need to feel that we belong. You belong here.
The people make this community remarkable enough, though what you will learn here is off the charts different from any other thing you have tried.
The Path to Food Freedom is a powerful blend of science and spirituality.
We are using the most cutting edge, evidence-based tools. Natalie is obsessed with staying up to date on the latest research about how to stop disordered eating patterns.
We also know that this is more than just about practicing tools. We know that you can feel deep down that this is about more than just food.
You know that you have a spiritual path to walk. This is about healing from self-judgment and shame. This is about stepping into your own sense of self worth. This is about learning to set boundaries and stand up for yourself. This is about connecting to your relationship with spirit and getting support from beyond just your mind.
(We have people who practice specific religions, people who are spiritual, and others whose spiritual growth journey is solely within themselves and growing their capacity for awareness.)
Everything you get in the membership each month is easily worth $500.
That said, we are dedicated to as many people as possible to find Food Freedom. The monthly membership costs $97.

We believe women learn better together. We are a space for women to come together and focus on healing and empowerment. There is a magic that is cultivated when women come together in mutual support.
Our community members share their stories of personal trauma and triumph. By making this community a space purposefully for women, we cultivate an environment where it is safe to share deeply and heal.
We understand the way that our genders inform our food and body relationships. We feel it is especially important to designate spaces to uplift and affirm feminine experiences in a society that typically centers the masculine experience.
Our community is for self-identified women and femme folks.
All kinds of women and femme folks participate in The Path to Food Freedom. We have participants who are in their 20’s all the way through to participants in their 80’s. We have found that A LOT of people in helping professions find their way to our community. Lots of teachers, therapists, nurses, social workers. Lots of moms and lots of women without kids.
We are as alike one another as we are different. The most powerful part of the community is being with a group of other women who get what you are going through and have your back as you walk the path.
If you are a woman who is ready to heal your food and body relationship, and you want equal parts proven tools and a profound spiritual journey, this is the community for you.
Yes, there’s a 1-month money-back guarantee if you don’t love the community for any reason,
and this is just a month-to-month commitment. No contract!
