About the Course:

Course Objectives :

The objective of this course is to help Nutrition & Dietetics professionals understand the emotional, psychological, and behavioral factors that influence eating decisions — beyond hunger and nutrition.

The course teaches how emotional eating forms, the role of childhood patterns, stress, reward circuits, cravings, guilt cycles, and coping mechanisms. It empowers professionals to identify emotional triggers, build self-compassion frameworks, and integrate mindful eating + intuitive nourishment into nutrition plans.

The aim is to transform how dietitians counsel clients so they can create long-term, guilt-free, emotionally balanced relationships with food.
