Fitness, Wellness, Nutrition, Life Coaching and Psychology Professionals Now Have a Tool That Works to Help Clients Master their Psychological Association with Eating
Why is it that people “generally” know what’s good and bad for them to eat, and still, America is over 65% obese? The answer is simple, it’s more than just what we eat; it’s who we are as eaters. It’s about our associations, thoughts, beliefs and rituals that surround the process of eating – this is what makes us lean, happy and healthy or fat, sad and diseased. The good news is that there is a solution. Welcome to the world of Food Psychology Coaching.
Medical science has finally recognized the important role of diet in optimal health and disease prevention. Yet something is missing. Obesity, overeating, pain around body image, emotional challenges with food, digestive ailments, fatigue and nutrition-linked metabolic disorders are with us more than ever. Clearly, our collective approach to nutritional health and happiness isn't working. It's time for a new way of seeing things.
Have you ever felt that there is more to nutrition and health than merely telling people what to eat and what not to eat? Have you ever “hit a wall” in your practice - in your effectiveness with helping clients in a meaningful way? Or have you ever had the desire to simply go deeper with your clients, but didn't know how?
Many nutrition and health practitioners have come to realize this: there's a big gap in their professional training. They know about food and nutrition, but not about facilitating personal and emotional well-being. They haven't been taught the reality of working with clients.
Challenges around health, weight, food, or metabolism are not just about formulating the right combination of nutrients and fixing faulty chemistry. To truly facilitate a health transformation we must also address the life lessons that are calling for attention through the symptoms our clients are facing. Indeed, the wisdom of life speaks to us through the body. This understanding is so often the missing ingredient in transforming health, weight problems, compulsive eating and body image distortions.
Approaching your clients with this perspective allows your work to become more authentic and real. You can then facilitate higher quality results, find a deeper level of joy in your work, and feel more engaged and alive in your practice. What's more, you'll reach a new level of “client attraction” – drawing to yourself the kinds of clients who are searching for the very experience you offer.
Unfortunately though, most practitioners are caught in the holding pattern of trying to "do" more for their clients - more action steps, more motivation, more tips - instead of learning how to facilitate their client's inner healing and transformation.
By stepping into the world of Dynamic Eating Psychology and Mind Body Nutrition, you now have the opportunity to reach out to a whole new clientele. You can expand your coaching practice, advance or change your career, serve your existing clients with greater success, and dramatically enhance your own health.

Dilemmas of Being in Business #5: Ignoring What We Know to be True
I deny aspects of me that I know to be true – those dark shadowy aspects that if people were to find out about – well, it could mean rejection, humiliation and annihilation. It’s best that I pretend they don’t exist.

As the Paradigm Shifts H is for Hope and Hogwash
Many years ago, before I had any sense of spirituality, a friend of mine, a practicing Buddhist shared with me that most of us are constantly immersed in thoughts that are driven by hopes and fears. Think about that for a moment … My thoughts coalesce around either fear-based monologs or I’m hoping for good stuff and not bad stuff. There is a lot of energy going in that direction, eh?
