Description

Dr. Michelle May is a former family physician and a recovered yo-yo dieter. Like many people in our current food-abundant, diet-obsessed culture, Michelle struggled with disordered eating and body image. From middle school to medical school, her unhealthy relationship with food was her secret, but in her medical practice, she discovered she wasn’t alone! Many of her patients were trying one diet after another, not realizing that restriction drives cravings and bingeing. It’s a frustrating process she calls the “eat-repent-repeat cycle.”

After healing her own relationship with food, she founded Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating Programs and Training (https://amihungry.com/). Over 800 wellness professionals have been trained to offer Am I Hungry? mindful eating programs worldwide. She’s the award-winning author of the Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat book series that teaches mindful eating to help individuals resolve mindless and emotional eating and senseless yo-yo dieting to live the vibrant life they crave.

She’s an Associate Professor at Arizona State University where she teaches Mindful Eating. She also taught a masterclass for the Calm app. She co-authored a peer-reviewed paper on weight-inclusive care (https://doi.org/10.1002/ncp.10885).
