EnglishWhat Is DrDorie.com and What Does Intuitive TherapyTM Offer?
Updated
DrDorie.com is the home of Intuitive Therapy™, created by Dr. Dorie McCubbrey, PhD, MSEd — a best-selling author, speaker, and coach. The site offers coaching and online courses for healthy weight loss and eating disorder recovery, built on the idea of "healing food and weight issues from the inside out." It is not a medical treatment facility; Dr. Dorie describes her current work as Intuitive Therapy™ coaching rather than clinical counseling.
Who the Site Is For
The site speaks to two overlapping groups:
- People who have dieted repeatedly without lasting success. The site notes that many dieters struggle to lose weight and keep it off, and that about one-third of dieters may develop eating disorders.
- People recovering from anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder, including those who have tried other treatment and relapsed.
- People diagnosed with obesity, since the site states that roughly one-third of people enrolled at weight loss centers have a diagnosable eating disorder without realizing it.
Dr. Dorie also notes that anorexia and obesity are "flip sides of the same coin" in her framing, which is why the same approach is presented for both.
The Two Signature Programs
| Program | Full Name | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| IWL™ | Intuitive Weight Loss | Healthy weight loss in a healthy way |
| EDIT™ | Eating Disorder Intuitive Therapy | Holistic recovery from anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder |
Both are described as drawing on five principles of Intuitive Therapy™. EDIT™ is positioned as an alternative for people who have relapsed after other treatment, with the goal of living "as if you've never had" an eating disorder.
What's Actually Offered: The Hungry Soul Café™
The site organizes its offerings as a "menu" under The Hungry Soul Café™:
- Appetizers — free "tastes" of what the café offers
- Entrée — an online course plus a live Zoom "play-shop"
- Dessert — coaching with Dr. Dorie (the site suggests having dessert first)
- 5-Course Meal — everything above plus two bonus courses
The site does not list prices or payment details, so you'll need to visit the café or coaching pages directly to see current options and cost.
Coaching Approach and Background
Dr. Dorie describes more than 25 years of experience guiding clients beyond eating disorders, and the site cites 30+ years of successfully guiding clients. Her stated style is action-oriented and solution-focused, with coaching customized to the individual. She frames the core questions as "What is the hunger of your soul?" and "How much does your soul weigh?" — positioning weight and eating issues as symptoms of something deeper rather than the problem itself.
What to Keep in Mind
- This is coaching and online education, not medical or psychiatric treatment. If you have an active eating disorder or a medical condition, coaching is not a substitute for care from a licensed medical or mental health provider.
- The site makes strong claims (for example, that a third of dieters develop eating disorders, or that a third of weight-loss-center clients have diagnosable eating disorders). Treat these as the site's own framing rather than independently verified statistics.
- Pricing, session formats, and availability aren't shown in the material reviewed here — check the café and coaching pages for current details before committing.
