Food Psychology for Mind and Body Certification

Food Psychology for Mind and Body

This course is designed to help you better understand your relationship to food and eating, mind and body. The course offers a mixture of theory around the psychology of eating, nutritional principles and practical tips on how to establish and sustain a healthy mindset around food and your body. It is not a diet or a meal plan.

It will guide you through a deeper understanding of your identity as an eater, as well as outline how to harness this insight, in order to create a compassionate, intuitive, healthy and freeing relationship with food, which will support your holistic wellbeing and sense of self.

Please note that the course is intended for educational purposes only: it is not a form of therapy. If you feel that you need therapeutic support for disordered eating, the course provides guidance on where to seek it.

You will Learn:

  • An introduction to food psychology: the factors that underlie the what, how, why and when of our eating behaviours
  • How to recognize your own food behaviors and mindset around eating through self-awareness
  • How to make holistically healthier choices, based on intuitive, embodied insight into what wholesomely feeds and fuels your life
  • How to cultivate a mindset of self-love around food and your body
  • How diet culture has been unhealthily normalised in our society, and how we can healthily reject its influence on our eating psychology
  • How intuitive eating as a practice can help you navigate a new, healthy and balanced relationship to food, as well as to life
  • How your relationship to food and body is a mirror to your relationship with life
  • How to get help if you feel you are struggling with disordered eating

Benefits of Taking This Course:

  • Gain greater understanding of how you think, feel and behave around food
  • Learn how to make your relationship with food more conscious and more aligned with healthy principles
  • Foster an intuitive relationship with food and your body — one that is driven by what feels balanced, nourishing and satisfying at an embodied level
  • Gain autonomy from diet culture and diet mentality
  • Gain insight into where your relationship with food and your body reflects other possible areas of growth in your life, and step into those with newfound confidence

This course was super fun and so easy to follow.

I loved the convenience of learning everywhere, I could use my phone or tablet and do the course in the car, breaks while at work or in the privacy of my living room. The videos were wonderful and the worksheets helped so much as well... I'm more confident in myself now :)

Tara Ireland

Very interactive and quick to complete, highly recommended to anyone that is looking to further their knowledge. An excellent online course for CV’s and developing your skills. Fantastic for the money and worth taking time to complete with online help and notes to guide you through it.

New Skills Academy have recently won two high profile awards and after taking their online course you know the reason behind it with high quality course structure and accessibility.
All their courses have an excellent pass rate so it is suitable for everyone whether you are academic or not, which I find very good.

This course was very informative and i loved that it could be done at my own pace and not have deadlines to reach.

Even my dog loved the benefits and being my practice dummy!

Nicky Corbett

The course is full of interesting and useful information to know more about garden design and maintenance.

All the modules are easy to understand and gave me strong basics and confidence to start my own garden design business. Also I found the course very interactive, with images to illustrate the modules, garden design plans examples... so I could really visualise what was meant in each module.

Considering the online aspect, I found the website very easy to use and I appreciated the fact that I could keep a trace of my course by downloading the modules on my own laptop.

Laurie Bednarczuk

Amazing course, very easy to do within your own space of time. Very helpful, would highly recommend to anyone and everyone. This has helped me a lot to gain more knowledge and more experience in this field to help me later on in life. The course is user friendly and very straight forward. Provides you with up to date information and real life situations if anything was to happen and makes you feel like you are already working in the field and have the experience you need. The course also has an online tutor to help you at all times!
