The SociEATy 17+

I stumbled upon this app during my quest for a healthier relationship with food, and I'm so grateful I did! This app has completely transformed the way I approach eating. Instead of strict diets and food rules, it teaches you to listen to your body's signals and trust your instincts, which has been incredibly liberating. The app is beautifully designed and user-friendly. It offers a wealth of resources, from guided meditations to insightful articles, all focused on promoting a positive body image and a healthy mindset towards food. The daily check-ins and journaling prompts have helped me become more mindful of my eating habits and emotions, leading to a more balanced and enjoyable eating experience. One of the best features of this app is the supportive community it fosters. I've connected with so many like-minded individuals who share their experiences and offer encouragement along the way. It's truly inspiring to see everyone's journey towards food freedom. Overall, this app has been a game-changer for me. I've learned to nourish my body without guilt or restriction, and I feel more in tune with my body than ever before. If you're tired of dieting and ready to embrace a healthier, more intuitive approach to eating, I highly recommend giving this app a try!

The coaching area I find pretty unhelpful- there aren’t many videos and no intersectional topics like disability, etc. it’s just assumed you can move like anyone else and ignores those of us who are limited by disability. There aren’t a lot of classic dbt topics too that seem like low hanging fruit. There’s a section on ADHD but none on autism, despite the prevalence of autism within eating disorders. That said, hopefully these things will improve over time.

I wish we could use captions on the videos, slow them down, and easily backtick time because a lot of the info is dense but she squeezes it into 3-4 minutes without pauses. That means it’s really easy to overlook the gems because there isn’t time for them to sink in! We need processing time for the info while watching. That said the fact it’s written on slides is the saving feature within this- I almost solely use the slides because then I can take my time.

The community I THOUGHT was in the app but it’s just a FB group so even though it seems heavily moderated it isn’t too great for FB haters. Lastly, the app keeps crashing. I can try to do a simple thing like update my “focus” and it crashes without updating anything- same if I try to look at the research notes for a video. Please improve if you’re going to charge this much! Thanks

I am a registered dietitian myself, and this app/program has broadened my horizons both as a professional, and as a person struggling with finding food freedom. It truly makes your journey as simple as possible. The information provided is relevant, the platform is user-friendly, and the support received is beneficial in numerous ways. One area for improvement is considering to offer a one-on-one with a dietitian, to offer additional support, as individualization is limited in a program that has prerecorded, one size fits all information. Although the information provided is extremely spot on, it may be difficult for those who have questions about the etiology behind their behaviors / thoughts / actions regarding food. Overall, I recommend this app!
