Institute For Psychology Of Eating

Perhaps you’ve noticed that there’s a tremendous excitement in the fields of nutrition and health and counseling. These professions are breaking wide open, and for good reason. Our collective knowledge here is expanding, we’re becoming more health conscious as a nation, and the traditional and limited ways we’ve been viewing body and mind are giving way to a fresher and more holistic vision.

Even more encouraging in the fields of health and nutrition is that one needn’t be a doctor, dietitian, or have a PhD in order to advise others. If you have a passion for food, health, or personal growth and are willing to be innovative and cutting edge in how you educate yourself, then the opportunities are unlimited.

If you’re considering a career change to counseling or coaching in wellness, health, and nutrition, consider yourself a brave soul. That’s because it isn’t easy to change careers. It so often requires that one have extra time, money, and the energy to turn your life in a whole new direction. It requires a certain amount of trust, courage, and willingness to be in the unknown. And you need to be just a little crazy.

That said, a career change is also a beautiful and noble undertaking. If you're considering an education at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, I believe you're on the right track. Consider all your options – the kind of training you want, the environment you wish to be in, the things you truly want to learn, the people surrounding you, and the scope and depth of work you’d ultimately like to do with your own students and clients.

Our Professional Certification Training in Dynamic Eating Psychology and Mind Body Nutrition is designed with you, the career changer in mind. We want you to finish our program and feel ready to step out into the world in a new way. We do our best to create an atmosphere where you can discover your fullest gifts as a counselor, teacher, or coach. We’re on a mission to help heal the pain in this world around food, body, and soul, and we’re thrilled to support anyone who’s wanting to do this work.

If you're drawn to a nutrition education, please know that our program is not a traditional nutrition training at all. It features very little nutrition. So if you’re looking for extensive training in vitamins, minerals, food science, and biochemistry, IPE is not the right choice for you. However, if you’re wanting to work with the most common challenges that people face around food and health – weight loss, body image issues, compulsive and overeating, fatigue, digestive concerns, immunity, mood, chronic dieting, depression, anxiety – our program may be your best choice.

IPE has a completely unique approach. We teach Dynamic Eating Psychology – a practical, down-to-earth, and fascinating discipline that truly honors and explores the human dimensions of who we are as eaters. We teach Mind Body Nutrition  - a science based, ancient wisdom inspired approach that focuses not so much on what we eat, but on how nutritional status and metabolic wellness is influenced by stress, relaxation, thoughts, feelings, beliefs, eating rhythm, pleasure, culture, and so much more…

In short, we teach how to effectively counsel and coach your clients where traditional nutrition falls short. If facts and information could heal and transform people’s food, weight and health woes, they would have done so long ago. At IPE, we go deeper to where the action is. So we include some of the nutrition that’s most important, but we focus on psyche and soul. We look at a person’s life journey, their style of living, their deeper story, their hidden dreams and desires, and the places where they’re still learning to love and honor their body. This we believe, is where metabolic and cellular change truly originates.

Please consider all the great choices available to you, and learn as much about us as you can.
