Course Overview

I’ve heard it too many times to count.   

“I just need you to give me a meal plan.”

 “I need more discipline.”   

“This time will be different.  I promise I am going to do it.”  

One thing I can tell you, trying harder is not the answer.  

Setting up more accountability is not the answer. 

Following the latest fad diet is not the answer.  

If food and eating are a major source of stress for you, you’ve come to the right place. 

After you complete the Psychology of Eating course, you will better understand why you struggle when others don’t.   My goals are to help you understand your behavior and show yourself some compassion while equipping you with tools you can implement to immediately see progress. It’s a journey but it begins by taking the first step.  

 

psychology of eating course

The psychology of eating course is for you if you’re tired of treating food like a problem you have to “fix” with more rules. Eating patterns don’t come out of nowhere—every behavior has a reason, even the ones you want to change. This psychology of eating course helps you understand the “why” underneath overeating, emotional eating, cravings, and guilt, so you can build new skills that actually hold up in real life.

In this psychology of eating course, we focus on awareness without shame. You’ll learn how stress, emotions, restriction, and nervous system overload can shape appetite and urges. We’ll explore the difference between hunger and emotional signals, and why willpower alone usually fails when your body is dysregulated or depleted. The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is steadiness—more choice, more clarity, and less inner chaos around food.

This psychology of eating course is self-paced, so you can move through it in a way that feels supportive, not pressuring. Think: practical tools, compassionate reflection, and strategies that fit your real days (including the messy ones). You’ll practice noticing triggers earlier, responding to cravings with intention, and rebuilding trust with your body over time. If you’ve been stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle, the psychology of eating course gives you a different path—one rooted in science, self-compassion, and understanding instead of discipline-only thinking.

About me

During graduate school in nutrition I learned about how food can negatively affect a person’s health. I learned about how food can prevent disease or help manage disease symptoms. I learned more chemistry and metabolism than I ever needed to know.  You know what I didn’t learn? How to help your patient implement and follow the recommendations that you give them. As I worked in the field I saw that for some people, just knowing what to eat and how much to eat was enough. But for others, it wasn’t. Even when they knew what to do, they struggled to follow through consistently.  

Is it because they lack motivation, willpower or discipline? 

Is it because they don’t want it bad enough? 

Is it because they don’t care enough? 

These are things society wants us to believe but I always knew it went deeper.  Enter nutritional psychology.  Thankfully we are learning how important our past experiences and our brain is in regards to our food choices. I have sought extra training in these areas and I’ve included much of what I have learned in this course.  If your behavior in regards to eating is a source of frustration, you are in the right place.  

Testimonials

I used to think I just needed more willpower to stop emotional eating, but this course completely changed my perspective. I finally understand why I self-sabotage and how to break the cycle. The mindful eating techniques have helped me feel in control around food for the first time in years!

Diets never worked for me because I always ended up back in the same patterns. This course helped me see that my habits around food were about so much more than just discipline. Learning to listen to my body’s hunger and fullness cues has been  most helpful. Now I don’t eat when bored or having social anxiety. I limit eating to when my body tells me it needs fuel

I reached out to Sherri for a weight loss diet but she convinced me that this course was where I should start.  The Theory of Change showed me why I struggled to break bad eating habits, and now I have real tools to create lasting change. I no longer feel stuck in the same frustrating cycle—I’m eating with more awareness, and it’s finally feeling natural!
