Food Avoidance & Sensitivity Trap (FAST)​

The Food Avoidance & Sensitivity Trap is a model that I developed to help clients understand how body/food mistrust and food avoidance create additional (conditioned) food sensitivity. When you get sucked into this trap:

  • Food becomes a trigger for stress
  • You think about food and your symptoms more than you want to
  • You end up in a never-ending cycle of wondering what will make you sick and feeling sick
  • Your food sensitivities get worse

The FAST Freedom Program

The FAST Freedom Program is a five-phase, guided self-reflection process that helps food-sensitive clients rebuild body and food trust so they can minimize food reactivity, end their restricted diet struggles and enjoy delicious meals (see Client Resources Preview below).

You will learn to:

  • Separate your unnecessary food restrictions from your true food intolerances.
  • Calm your food fears.
  • Relax and enjoy food-centered social occasions.
  • Ease the stress of grocery shopping, planning and preparation.
  • Safely introduce new foods.
  • Feel free and flexible around food.

I strongly believe in the importance of clients having professional support and guidance. Therefore, the resources can only be accessed through one of my registered dietitian partners. Please complete a program application, and I will send you additional information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every client is different. Some clients can eat an unrestricted diet, and some continue to avoid a few foods. Ultimately, our goal is to help clients live a life that does not revolve around food and symptoms.

The program does not “cure” medically-diagnosed food hypersensitivities, such as celiac disease or immediate food allergy. However, most people with these disorders get stuck in the Food Avoidance & Sensitivity Trap and restrict their diet more than they need to. The FAST Freedom Program helps them expand their diet.

We talk about diet expansion in phase 4, and most clients begin this phase three to five weeks after starting the program.  However, some clients may start sooner, especially if their diet is severely limited.
