An approach centered on habits and well-being

The practice does not use a scale and focuses on habits and beliefs rather than body size. Its approach is based on the idea that food restrictions can make long-term follow-through harder and harm a person’s relationship with food. The goal is to support eating habits, connection with the body, and overall well-being, without labeling foods as off-limits except in cases such as allergies or celiac disease, and without food-related guilt.

Interdisciplinary team

The team includes Folgar, psychologist Lucía Trigo, and personal trainer Andrea Bas, who are mentioned in patient testimonials.
