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

  • What the intuitive eater type looks like, embodied in a day-to-day way, and how to cultivate and maintain the habits that support intuitive eating for yourself
  • Tips and exercises to help you tune into your body, alongside healthy new beliefs to cultivate, to replace those that we may have unconsciously internalised from diet culture
  • The importance of listening to your own body and signals
  • How to consolidate the understanding that our relationship with food and our bodies serves as a mirror to our relationship with life and, therefore, that healing aspects of our food psychology can also lead to healing in other areas of our lives

  • How to maintain intuitive eating and self-awareness habits, as well as optional prompts for further growth and reflection

Daniel Gordon

I took it up in myself to take this course as I am wanting to get on the personal trainer business. I found this course to be really insightful and beneficial.

As well as providing the information needed for health care professionals in the Fitness industry, it also provides the information you might be interested in to take your career further. Such as qualifications you can take afterwards to specialise in a specific area in the Fitness industry.

If you want an informative course that gives you a little extra, this is perfect for you. If you would like the bare minimum, then this course isn’t for you.

Emma Fulford

When I first started, I was quite anxious, but after seeing the course layout, it was very simple, effective and most important, engaging.

I especially liked the fact you don't become overwhelmed by the courses quantity of modules, and in the end you have to answer a certain amount of questions within a certain time limit. Every module's layout is very clean, fresh and comprehensive when it comes to its explanation.

If there was any part of the course I was unsure of, I would seek help from the advisors via the online chat and I could say they have been very friendly and helpful.

I'm glad I have taken this course through New Skills ACADEMY and I intend to undertake other courses by them.

Mohammed Hussain

I started this course as it is a keen interest of mine; as someone who worked as an office manager and administrator for large Estate Agents in London, I wanted to tighten my skills. I was not disappointed! There are a huge range of information; from dealing with aspects of marketing to legalities and a lot of reading. It was very easy to access and very thorough. I would recommend anyone looking to start in the industry, have an interest in property or simply want to brush up on knowledge and skills. I was very pleased overall with the course, and will recommend new skill academy to my friends.

Kelly-Anne Tomlinson-Docherty

As the Head of HR, I always have to keep up to date on all law. This course was brilliant and helped me brush up on some areas I hadn’t worked on for some time. Really great value and also very user friendly – brilliant purchase!

For me personally, I have a Masters in HR Management and I love to keep developing and learning and this course was a brilliant way to satisfy my hunger for learning but I could also fit it in with my full time role – win win!

Another positive edition to anyone’s CV – would recommend to anyone even if you are just curious about your employee rights!

Amy Knight

The course was very methodical and logical, always pointing towards the goal of learning the information to pass the test. It’s also a very nice course. Made the process seem much less daunting than I had made it appear. The logical and organized approach to the material really made this a worthwhile course.

All the course materials are very easy to understand and access, and the fact that you could study at your own pace when you want.

I want to say a big thank you to New Skills Academy for your effort, heart-felt interest and enthusiasm in putting together this course and sharing it with us. Your frequent, intuitive tips were great memory cues for some of the hard to retain information and very helpful especially for someone forgetful like me. Most of all, you took any worry of failure out of the picture and made it easy to visualize completing the test successfully! Thank you again for all your help.

I will definitely recommend this site to anyone looking to take professional courses. Thanks to them, I now have my diploma in Hotel Reception.
