Any of us who’ve struggled with food, body, and health know there’s ultimately nothing more valuable than our personal well-being.
But where most of us get stuck is not recognizing the key role that our psychology plays in our overall health and well-being, including our relationship with food and body.
Too many of us, including health practitioners and coaches, are so focused on diet and nutrition that we don’t see how our personal eating psychology – the thoughts, beliefs, and feelings we hold about food and body – impact our health.
If you’ve ever had a client say to you, “I know what to do, I just don’t do it,” then their eating psychology is certainly the issue.
When our tactical strategies around diet and nutrition don’t work,
many of us will actually double-down with our clients.
We'll give even MORE health and nutrition facts and information.
We’ll hope that SOMETHING gets through to our clients, and that they’ll finally start making positive changes.
But when such advice isn’t working, giving more of it just doesn’t make sense.
It’s like trying to put out a fire with even more gasoline. It simply doesn’t work.

Enter the field of Dynamic Eating Psychology,
originated by our founder, Marc David, M.A.
Decades ago, Marc’s vision was to become a nutritional physician. But there was no training available for that, and he was quickly ridiculed by his colleagues for believing that you could heal your body with food.
Marc went on to become a psychotherapist serving people with eating and body challenges … folks who were suffering with emotional eating, binge eating, weight, endless dieting, body image concerns, and nutrition-linked disorders such as immunity, fatigue, digestion, mood, and more.
Marc discovered that his clients’ psychology was the #1 factor in whether they healed their condition – or whether they didn’t.
Based on his many years of experience, Marc formalized his discoveries into the unique and breakthrough field of Dynamic Eating Psychology.
And he then went on to launch the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, the world’s only health coaching program dedicated to teaching the principles of Eating Psychology

The Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training
May 31 to
June 6
Since 2007, the institute
has trained
1000s
of health coaches from around the world.
Our passionate international student base
reflects the global ubiquity of food and body challenges,
as well as the deep need for an approach that honors all of who we are as humans – mind, body, heart and soul.
With his deep experience in the nutrition and supplement worlds,
Marc developed the field of Mind Body Nutrition
It’s a field dedicated to the science of digestion, assimilation, and metabolism, and how all of it is profoundly affected by things like stress, relaxation, environment, toxic nutritional beliefs, our cultural and societal conditioning, and so much more.
Mind Body Nutrition, much like Eating Psychology, is all about honoring the unique individual in front of you.
We don’t offer a one-size, fits-all approach because …. well, people aren’t one size. We’re all beautifully distinct from each other.
Effective health practitioners know how to provide an individualized approach, which we’ll teach you in the Training.

With this in mind, we invite you to tune into our upcoming live event series about
The Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training.
In this free, multi-day event, you’ll hear directly from Marc David, bestselling author, speaker, host of the popular Psychology of Eating Podcast, and the lead teacher in the Training, about our work and mission.
You’ll have the chance to hear some of our graduates’ inspiring professional journeys and what they’re up to in their careers.
