ABOUT
About Dan Chase, RD
Registered Dietitian, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and the person who built this because he cared too much not to.
"I built this because I watched clients struggle with the same pattern every night."
Dan Chase is a Registered Dietitian who has spent years working with people who feel stuck in a frustrating loop: doing well all day, then feeling out of control at night. He noticed this pattern so consistently in his clients that he knew something deeper was happening — something a standard meal plan couldn't fix.
Drawing on his training in Intuitive Eating and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dan built Mindful Evenings as a tool to meet people in that specific moment — not with rules, but with curiosity. The question isn't "how do I stop eating at night?" It's "what does this craving actually need?"
Dan holds a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics and has completed advanced training in Intuitive Eating, ACT-based counseling approaches, and behavioral nutrition. He believes that every person has the wisdom to understand their own body — they just need the right tools to access it.
"Most of my clients aren't struggling with food. They're struggling with unmet needs that food has become the answer to. When we address the actual need, everything shifts."
Outside of his clinical work, Dan writes about emotional eating, the science of evening cravings, and what it means to build a peaceful relationship with food. His blog and learn articles reflect the same philosophy that drives Mindful Evenings: compassion first, curiosity always.
The Philosophy Behind Mindful Evenings
Intuitive Eating
Reject diet culture, honor hunger, make peace with food. Built on Evelyn Tribole & Elyse Resch's evidence-based framework.
ACT-Based
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps you observe thoughts without being driven by them — perfect for craving moments.
Self-Compassion First
Research shows that self-criticism makes overeating worse, not better. We build awareness through kindness.
Evidence-Based
Every feature in Mindful Evenings is grounded in peer-reviewed research on emotional eating and behavior change.
