Alex Leibold MS, RD, LD & Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor
Congratulations Alex Leibold MS, RD, LD on earning the Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor designation!
We are so proud of all the hard work and dedication Alex has put into earning this designation. For those who do not know, the Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor designation requires self study work, course work, an examination, and supervision. The designation is earned through Elyse Resch and Evelyn Tribole who are the authors of Intuitive Eating and the original Intuitive Eating professionals. Although many practice from an Intuitive Eating lens, Alex has specifically been trained by the professionals who designed that very lens.
In addition to now being a certified intuitive eating counselor, Alex has 5 years of eating disorder specific experience and is currently working on completing her Certified Eating Disorder Specialist Certification through iaedp (the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals). Alex is licensed in Texas, New York, New Jersey, and Florida and can provide intuitive eating counseling nationally via Telehealth.

Before using fitness devices and apps, ask yourself whether your motive is related to body dissatisfaction or health. Being self-aware of your feelings can help you recognize if using a health tracker is impacting you in a positive or negative way. If you notice that you are obsessed with tracking and it is interfering with your life, you may want to listen to your body instead. Your body has the ability to tell you what foods and movements feel right for you. When you implement mindful eating and movement, these parts of your life become much more flexible and enjoyable.
