Psychology of Eating Sign Up Information

Dear Friends,

As you've likely noticed, we're living in a time of social isolation and distancing, economic challenge, global uncertainty, and fear of an invisible and microscopic enemy.

What a perfect recipe for emotional eating.

If this describes you, your client, or someone you care about, then the first thing to remember is this:

You are eating emotionally for a very good reason.

It makes perfect sense from the perspectives of both science and psychology.

Science reminds us that the simple act of eating can reduce the physiologic stress response. You know this in every cell of your body: eating makes us feel better, and it does so almost instantly.

Just ask any crying, screaming infant or toddler.

Food can literally down-regulate stress chemistry.

Psychology reminds us that food is a comfort. The act of eating brings a sense of safety, nurturance, warmth, and love. If we are eating, then the world is at peace.

Etched in our DNA is the memory of generations of ancestors who found solace with food in times of hunger, famine, grief, and hardship.

So if you've found yourself emotionally eating in the past months, you might as well forgive yourself.

Stop the negative self talk, call a ceasefire on self attack, and breathe into your humanity.

Let go of being perfect.

Emotional eating is an opportunity to ask "What else?"

Meaning, what else can I do to find comfort? What else can I do to create more relaxation, more pleasure, more goodness in my life?

We don't need to "fight" emotional eating.

Rather, we need to embrace it for what it is, enjoy the comfort of food when we're eating it, and look to find other ways to soothe or reward ourselves in times of challenge.

If we listen faithfully, we find that our relationship with food is often asking us to grow.

It's asking us to mature ourselves.

It's asking us to look beyond food, and into the rest of our life for the care and connection we're seeking.

I hope you continue to turn these interesting times into a powerful nutrition for your own betterment.

My warmest regards,

Hi Friend,

Marc David here!

First, a note of appreciation for being part of our community. I know some of you have been in the Eating Psychology universe for a long period of time and I'm very grateful to have been part of your journey to this point.

With the summer winding to a close here in the Northern Hemisphere, we're getting back into the swing of things here at the Institute. It's now nearly time for our Fall 2020 Term of the Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training to start.

As a special offer to you for being part of our Eating Psychology community, I''m excited to share with you that we're now offering two exclusive bonuses AND extending to you a $2,000 discount!

I know sometimes in life that making decisions can be hard, particularly when it means investing significant time, energy, and money. And yet, there's so much power in making decisions. Sometimes all we need is a little push.

My hope is that if becoming a Mind Body Eating Coach is right for you, you'll join us for the Fall 2020 Term through this special, limited-time offer.

====>> Click here to apply today!

I know that many of you have been thinking for a long time about starting a new career as a Mind Body Eating Coach. I also know that you probably don't want to spend thirty years gathering the knowledge and expertise to do so.

And that's exactly why I created the Institute's premier professional development offering, the Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training - so I could share with you the VERY BEST of what I've learned.

So if you feel called to our premier Training, now's the time to join us. All you need to do is apply and enroll by Friday, September 11th and you''ll receive $5,800 worth of bonus offerings, PLUS $2,000 OFF the total tuition.

The two exclusive bonuses are:

Business coaching calls with me, Marc David.

Why would you want business coaching calls with me? Well, for over 40 years, I've been building and running high-impact businesses. Not simply businesses that survive . but businesses that thrive and prosper WHILE making a real difference in the world.

I can tell you, my friend, that creating a successful business that improves the lives of others is the best kind of business to be in.

Throughout these four coaching sessions, I'll not only train you in organic, sustainable business development strategies, I'll also give you plenty of time to explore your important questions and receive helpful feedback.

Some of the things we'll cover in these calls:

• Effective business development strategies
• Practice development tools for new coaches AND for established practitioners
• Marketing and branding approaches
• Discovering your niche and audience
• Feedback on your most pressing business dilemmas
• Avoiding the traps that lead to burnout and frustration, and focusing instead on the best strategies for your natural coaching and business style

Regardless of whether you're already an established practitioner -- or you're just getting started on your coaching journey, these business coaching calls will teach you how to develop a thriving practice as a Mind Body Eating Coach.

If you've ever found business and marketing approaches confusing or overwhelming, we think you'll find these business coaching sessions to be a breath of fresh air!

Starting a business is rarely easy, particularly for those of us who are doing it for the first time. I've found that learning something new is much easier when I align myself with someone who has personally been down the road I wish to travel. I'd love for you to study directly with me and learn how to build a business that reflects your values and lifestyle goals.

The second bonus, The Conscious Relationship Training:

For over 35 years now, I've been teaching and lecturing on Eating Psychology. What I've discovered is that at the heart of nearly every food and body concern lies relationship-based issues. That's why I created The Conscious Relationship Training, a comprehensive program that -- until now -- has been offered as a standalone training valued at $4,000.

For the first time ever in the history of the Institute, I am including this training at no extra charge as a very special bonus to you for the Fall 2020 Term.

The Conscious Relationship Training was created specifically for life and health coaches, therapists, counselors, and others in the helping professions.

Like myself, many Mind Body Eating Coaches quickly discover that so many of the challenges clients face with food and body are intimately linked to their primary relationships. Indeed, many people with concerns around health, weight, overeating, binge eating, emotional eating, endless dieting, fatigue, low mood, and more, only see lasting change when they are able to address their relationship challenges in a clear and skillful way.

Developing more distinctions around the role of relationships in food and body concerns is essential to becoming an effective Mind Body Eating Coach.

We've seen an absolutely huge need for this kind of training.

In it, you'll learn practitioner tools and techniques that can help move your client forward and deepen their understanding of how to create healthy and dynamic relationships.

And of course, the body of work you'll learn will not only increase your professional skills and value in the marketplace, but will undoubtedly impact and transform your own relationships, as well -- including the one you have with yourself.

Some of the topics covered include:

• Relationship Coaching Tools
• Skills for Managing Conflict
• Toxic Relationship Beliefs
• The Key Relationship Challenges
• The Cycles & Stages of Relationship
• The Mother/Father Code
• The Mystery and Impact of Polarity
• Working with Sexuality, Pleasure & Intimacy
• The Love Factor
• Relationship Archetypes
• A Deeper Dive into Masculine and Feminine Psychology
• The Inner Work of Relationship
• Coaching Across Age Groups
• Breaking Up
• The In Between Times
• and much more.

While this bonus is of course completely optional - it's a tremendous resource for anyone who has the desire to dive more deeply into relationship-based coaching. I know you'll find this bonus enlightening, empowering, and most importantly, truly helpful in learning how to help your clients grow and transform at the deepest levels.

Together, these two programs will empower you to take your life and career to the next level by supporting you in diving deep into the roots of your personal challenges with food and body, while enabling you to create a coaching career that's both inspiring AND financially rewarding.

These two amazing bonuses represent an unprecedented offer from the Institute.

I'm including these bonuses for the Fall 2020 Term because I'm committed to giving you the greatest value I can. You'll receive business consulting directly from me -- something that's not available in any other setting, as I do not offer 1:1 business coaching at this time. The value of these group coaching calls alone is $1,800. On top of that, you'll receive The Conscious Relationship Training, valued at $4,000, at no additional cost.

Your distinctions and skills as a Mind Body Eating Coaching will be further developed through this additional training program. Together, these bonuses are worth $5,800 and they are yours free when you enroll by Friday, September 11th, 2020.

Coupled with the early action discount of $2,000 OFF the price of the Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training, this is the best deal we've ever offered.

Friend, hurry this offer ends soon!

We have not yet opened the doors to the public on this offer. For a short time, we're extending to you one of our limited seats for the Fall 2020 Term. After Friday, September 11th, 2020, this opportunity will go away. So please, take advantage of this limited-time offer to receive your two incredible bonuses valued at $5,800 as well as the $2,000 discount.

Hi ,

Sarah Lucille here, Director of Communications at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating.

In the last decade of teaching the Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training online, we''ve noticed a trend: Over half of our coaches already have a background in health, wellness, and fitness. The other half are making a complete career change.

So many personal trainers and fitness instructors are turning to eating psychology to help their clients overcome major challenges with food and body image. But, they're also seeking the kind of insight eating psychology can offer into their own struggles with food and body.

Years ago, Marc David, Founder of the Institute, interviewed one of our graduates and now one of our team members, Tessie Tracy.

Tessie's background is in CrossFit, body building, and personal training. She took part in a bodybuilding competition that forever changed her outlook on diet and what it means to have a "fit" body.

Tessie shared: "When I was 25, I did a body building competition. I had always been an athlete, had many people tell me oh, you have the perfect body type to do this. So I did it. And I hired coaches. They put me on a diet and exercise regimen for five months. I lost like 20 pounds. I was eating super clean. I remember feeling judgmental of myself and other people. I got to the point in the last few weeks, I was scared to have a piece of gum because it was five calories.

And I lost my period. I did great. I won the whole show. And then it was a really crazy road. I didn't adjust my diet when I got off. So the two weeks after my competition, my body was literally in starvation mode. And I was just out of control. I was binging. I didn't try to throw up, but I ate so much that I would throw up. And it was just a really scary experience."

This is a wake up call that so many in fitness contend with at some point. The beauty and fitness world is permeated with diet culture, and many instructors suffer silently thinking something is wrong with them.

But it goes much deeper than that. There's the pressure to perform and uphold a certain image. There's the world of social media showing off what #fitspo is apparently supposed to look like.

And if you enter the world of competing, there's so much that goes into diet and planning and obsessing over every little curve on your body.

That's not something any one of us humans are made to sustain. That's why after many competitions, there's an inevitable crash. Your nervous system and digestive system and metabolism are trying to recover from the intense stress of training.

That's also why there is a need for a strong understanding of eating psychology and mind body nutrition and how to create a more sustainable system to follow on and off season.

So, we work with and train a lot of fitness instructors, personal trainers, CrossFit coaches, bodybuilders, and athletes. They then get to take what they learn and share it with their communities! Tessie, for example, has introduced eating psychology to many in CrossFit who want to maintain the lifestyle there while also nourishing their bodies and helping them to thrive!

If you're someone with a health, wellness, or fitness background, was there ever a wake-up call moment for you? Or, do you know someone who went through something similar?

You can share your thoughts in the comments on this post HERE.

And, as a reminder, we''re currently enrolling for our Online Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training and the final day to enroll is Friday, May 1st! Module One officially begins Tuesday, May 5th.

How do you know if getting certified as a Mind Body Eating Coach is the next best step for you right now? We'd love to hop on the phone with you and help you decide whether this Training is right for you.

===> To schedule a FREE consult call, simply go here!

We have created a new, no questions asked, $1,000 off and no interest 16-pay payment plan!

We want you to be able to get started right now. Rather than paying in full or putting down the usual $1,500 deposit to get started, we''re extending an option to enroll for just $375 with $1,000 taken off the total tuition.

And here''s what else we''re going to do for the Spring 2020 Training starting at the end of April:

• We are making the Business Module available right away rather than waiting until Module 7.
• We are inviting all new Spring 2020 students to take part in 4 months of my Business Group Coaching Calls twice per month. (These are normally $500 per month)

Hi Friends,

I hope you and your loved ones are doing well.

We recently started our Spring 2020 enrollment for the Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training. We have an amazing group of students from all over the globe and I'm so inspired to be working with them.

When it comes to food and body challenges, the need for honest and effective solutions is as important as ever. I'm very fortunate to be working with people who are truly committed to working on themselves, and helping others.

As you have likely noticed, we live in very interesting times right now, and I believe these are the kind of times that are calling us to be at our best.

With so much fear in the world around COVID-19, I believe it's as important as ever to find our center.

To have a place of peace that we can access.

To have friends we can turn to for honest and thoughtful conversation.

And to keep strengthening ourselves even though the economy is being weakened.

With that said, there's a topic of conversation that I'm surprised has been relatively absent during the last several months.

That topic is immunity.

With all the collective concerns around becoming ill from an outside biologic invader, I'd think our leaders and our medical experts would be doubling down on encouraging us to enhance our immune system. Instead, our strategies are rather limited: wear a mask, wash your body parts, and avoid others.

The foundation of immunity has always been, and always will be, everything we do in our life that strengthens the immune system.

And likewise, the foundation of a well fortified immune system is to avoid or limit that which depletes our immunity.

Allow me to share with you one powerful immune diminisher to limit as best you can, and one immune enhancer to include more of in your life:

The immune system diminisher to let go of as best you can is something most of us know very well: fear.

Fear is a form of stress. That which stresses us puts us in the fight-or-flight response, also known as sympathetic nervous system dominance. Here's the simple but profound science of the stress response: over time, unnecessary stress can deplete the immune system. And when we deplete immunity, we make ourselves more susceptible to outside microscopic invaders.

Of course, fear is natural, and there are plenty of experiences in life where fear, anxiety or worry are the correct responses. Your job though, as best you can, is to let go of "optional" or "self-chosen" fears.

And by that I mean fears and worries such as "I'm no good", "I'm not loveable as I am", "I'm not perfect", "I need to lose weight to be happy", "I need to be someone else for others to accept me", "I need to eat perfectly" - I think you get the picture here.

Such thoughts and beliefs can literally and physiologically weaken your immune system. So why have them if you don't truly need them?

Now let's consider just one immune enhancer to include more of in your life:

Trust.

We don't usually think of trust or faith as an immune stimulator, but the simple science is this: anything that relaxes us takes us out of a stress response and increases immune function.

Think of any time you felt under the weather. You don't decide to run around like an anxious human as a way to prevent yourself from falling ill. You rest. You sleep. You relax. Your body instinctively knows that the physiologic relaxation response is the key to immune enhancement.

We can't be in an experience of trust and be in a stress response at the same time.

Trust and faith will always vanquish anxiety and fear.

So, believe more in yourself, in your life, in the goodness of the world, trust that your life is guided by a higher wisdom, and have faith that life has a greater plan for you and those you care about.

Marc David

P.S. Enrollment for the Fall Term of the Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training is happening now. We'd love to have you join us! For more information or to speak with an enrollment advisor, click here. The enrollment deadline is October 29th.

Dear Friends,

Over the course of almost 4 decades of working with people and their eating challenges, I've noticed something that many of us are familiar with:

The "all or nothing" approach to nutrition and weight loss.

This common strategy is founded on a very simple view of eating: either we're doing it perfectly - eating the right food in the right amount that will help us be healthy and thin forever - or we cut loose, let go of all our good guidelines and eat whatever we want, to heck with it all.

Chances are, if you've been eating or dieting in this way, or if you know someone who has, it can be a lifelong roller coaster ride that never ends.

When we're eating perfectly, we rightfully feel on top of the world. But when we let go, we feel a strange sense of freedom and rebelliousness, followed by some very predictable guilt and a feeling of self sabotage.

In case you haven't figured it out yet, the all-or-nothing approach to weight loss or healthy eating is doomed to fail. The sooner you can see the light, the better.

Of course, we put our hopes in this ill-fated strategy for a good reason: we believe that if we are "perfect," then we'll win the weight loss and health prize. We convince ourselves that this is the ultimate game plan for lasting success.

In this way, being a "perfect eater" is a hero's strategy. After all, the hero within us is the one who can do anything, who can save us from the evils of imperfect eating, and bring us the coveted prize of eternal health and beauty.

This is the part of us that believes in "magical thinking". It's the child in us who wants to soar high above all of life's challenges and never make a dietary mistake ever again.

But because we are human beings who are beautifully imperfect, none of us can keep up our ideal eating - however we define it - for very long. Life inevitably catches up to us, and we jump to the opposite extreme.

Can you see how predictable the outcome to this approach is?

And can you see how it will never take us where we want to go?

Chances are, if we're taking an all-or-nothing approach to food, we are likely doing this in other parts of life as well. The bottom line is, the all-or-nothing philosophy always gives us a temporary false sense of victory, soon to be followed by a crushing defeat.

So here's the good news. The remedy for this is very straightforward:

Take the middle road. Create balance. Let go of perfect. Embrace your own diversity. Stop the magical thinking, stop believing you need to be a dietary hero, and begin to see life as it truly is. You're a human and you're not perfect. Get over it while you're still alive. It's okay...

Of course, not everyone jumps on board with this worldview because it just isn't sexy. Perfect eating sounds way more cool.

Letting go of the all-or-nothing path requires that we mature. It's the wisdom of life asking us to grow up.

Taking the middle way isn't something you try once to see if it works. Rather, it's a daily practice.

In our Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training, we train our practitioners to help clients identify the ways that they can incorporate fun, pleasure, balance and some forbidden foods - along with all the healthy strategies - into one beautiful and doable approach that people can get behind.

From there, we can begin to find a freedom that we didn't even know existed for us.

Life is seldom an all-or-nothing proposition. It's time to see food differently, and in doing so, see the world differently.

I hope these words are helpful for you.

Congratulations to a dear friend...

A deep congratulations to our friend, Dr. Uma Naidoo, on the launch of her wonderful new book, This is Your Brain on Food, which was released just a few short days ago! As Director and faculty at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Dr. Naidoo is a preeminent and uniquely qualified voice in the newly emerging field of nutritional psychiatry. In This is Your Brain on Food, Dr. Naidoo explores the science behind food and mental health, and how food can be used to prevent a wide range of psychological and cognitive health issues (such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD). This is such an important topic and one that we know many here at the Institute will want to know about. We encourage you to check her book out! Thank you, Dr. Naidoo, for sharing your key research, insights, and wisdom distilled from your many years in the field of nutritional psychiatry. Find out more about Dr. Naidoo's work at @DrUmaNaidoo and www.umanaidoomd.com.

Marc David, M.A. is the Founder & CEO of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, a leading visionary and teacher in Eating Psychology and Nutrition, and author of the classic best-selling books Nourishing Wisdom and The Slow Down Diet. He lectures and consults internationally, and his innovative and inspiring work has been featured in a long list of media outlets. Learn more HERE!

Hi Friend,

Marc David here!

First, a note of appreciation for being part of our community. I know some of you have been in the Eating Psychology universe for a long period of time and I'm very grateful to have been part of your journey to this point.

With the summer winding to a close here in the Northern Hemisphere, we're getting back into the swing of things here at the Institute. It's now nearly time for our Fall 2020 Term of the Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training to start.

As a special offer to you for being part of our Eating Psychology community, I''m excited to share with you that we're now offering two exclusive bonuses AND extending to you a $2,000 discount!

I know sometimes in life that making decisions can be hard, particularly when it means investing significant time, energy, and money. And yet, there's so much power in making decisions. Sometimes all we need is a little push.

My hope is that if becoming a Mind Body Eating Coach is right for you, you'll join us for the Fall 2020 Term through this special, limited-time offer.

====>> Click here to apply today!

I know that many of you have been thinking for a long time about starting a new career as a Mind Body Eating Coach. I also know that you probably don't want to spend thirty years gathering the knowledge and expertise to do so.

And that's exactly why I created the Institute's premier professional development offering, the Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training - so I could share with you the VERY BEST of what I've learned.

So if you feel called to our premier Training, now's the time to join us. All you need to do is apply and enroll by Friday, September 11th and you''ll receive $5,800 worth of bonus offerings, PLUS $2,000 OFF the total tuition.

The two exclusive bonuses are:

Business coaching calls with me, Marc David.

Why would you want business coaching calls with me? Well, for over 40 years, I've been building and running high-impact businesses. Not simply businesses that survive . but businesses that thrive and prosper WHILE making a real difference in the world.

I can tell you, my friend, that creating a successful business that improves the lives of others is the best kind of business to be in.

Throughout these four coaching sessions, I'll not only train you in organic, sustainable business development strategies, I'll also give you plenty of time to explore your important questions and receive helpful feedback.

Some of the things we'll cover in these calls:

• Effective business development strategies
• Practice development tools for new coaches AND for established practitioners
• Marketing and branding approaches
• Discovering your niche and audience
• Feedback on your most pressing business dilemmas
• Avoiding the traps that lead to burnout and frustration, and focusing instead on the best strategies for your natural coaching and business style

Regardless of whether you're already an established practitioner -- or you're just getting started on your coaching journey, these business coaching calls will teach you how to develop a thriving practice as a Mind Body Eating Coach.

If you've ever found business and marketing approaches confusing or overwhelming, we think you'll find these business coaching sessions to be a breath of fresh air!

Starting a business is rarely easy, particularly for those of us who are doing it for the first time. I've found that learning something new is much easier when I align myself with someone who has personally been down the road I wish to travel. I'd love for you to study directly with me and learn how to build a business that reflects your values and lifestyle goals.

====>> JOIN US NOW

The second bonus, The Conscious Relationship Training:

For over 35 years now, I've been teaching and lecturing on Eating Psychology. What I've discovered is that at the heart of nearly every food and body concern lies relationship-based issues. That's why I created The Conscious Relationship Training, a comprehensive program that -- until now -- has been offered as a standalone training valued at $4,000.

For the first time ever in the history of the Institute, I am including this training at no extra charge as a very special bonus to you for the Fall 2020 Term.

The Conscious Relationship Training was created specifically for life and health coaches, therapists, counselors, and others in the helping professions.

Like myself, many Mind Body Eating Coaches quickly discover that so many of the challenges clients face with food and body are intimately linked to their primary relationships. Indeed, many people with concerns around health, weight, overeating, binge eating, emotional eating, endless dieting, fatigue, low mood, and more, only see lasting change when they are able to address their relationship challenges in a clear and skillful way.

Developing more distinctions around the role of relationships in food and body concerns is essential to becoming an effective Mind Body Eating Coach.

We've seen an absolutely huge need for this kind of training.

In it, you'll learn practitioner tools and techniques that can help move your client forward and deepen their understanding of how to create healthy and dynamic relationships.

And of course, the body of work you'll learn will not only increase your professional skills and value in the marketplace, but will undoubtedly impact and transform your own relationships, as well -- including the one you have with yourself.

Some of the topics covered include:

• Relationship Coaching Tools
• Skills for Managing Conflict
• Toxic Relationship Beliefs
• The Key Relationship Challenges
• The Cycles & Stages of Relationship
• The Mother/Father Code
• The Mystery and Impact of Polarity
• Working with Sexuality, Pleasure & Intimacy
• The Love Factor
• Relationship Archetypes
• A Deeper Dive into Masculine and Feminine Psychology
• The Inner Work of Relationship
• Coaching Across Age Groups
• Breaking Up
• The In Between Times
• and much more.

While this bonus is of course completely optional - it's a tremendous resource for anyone who has the desire to dive more deeply into relationship-based coaching. I know you'll find this bonus enlightening, empowering, and most importantly, truly helpful in learning how to help your clients grow and transform at the deepest levels.

Together, these two programs will empower you to take your life and career to the next level by supporting you in diving deep into the roots of your personal challenges with food and body, while enabling you to create a coaching career that's both inspiring AND financially rewarding.

These two amazing bonuses represent an unprecedented offer from the Institute.

I'm including these bonuses for the Fall 2020 Term because I'm committed to giving you the greatest value I can. You'll receive business consulting directly from me -- something that's not available in any other setting, as I do not offer 1:1 business coaching at this time. The value of these group coaching calls alone is $1,800. On top of that, you'll receive The Conscious Relationship Training, valued at $4,000, at no additional cost.

Your distinctions and skills as a Mind Body Eating Coaching will be further developed through this additional training program. Together, these bonuses are worth $5,800 and they are yours free when you enroll by Friday, September 11th, 2020.

Coupled with the early action discount of $2,000 OFF the price of the Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training, this is the best deal we've ever offered.

Friend, hurry this offer ends soon!

We have not yet opened the doors to the public on this offer. For a short time, we're extending to you one of our limited seats for the Fall 2020 Term. After Friday, September 11th, 2020, this opportunity will go away. So please, take advantage of this limited-time offer to receive your two incredible bonuses valued at $5,800 as well as the $2,000 discount.

Hi Friends,

I hope you and your loved ones are doing well.

We recently started our Spring 2020 enrollment for the Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training. We have an amazing group of students from all over the globe and I'm so inspired to be working with them.

When it comes to food and body challenges, the need for honest and effective solutions is as important as ever. I'm very fortunate to be working with people who are truly committed to working on themselves, and helping others.

As you have likely noticed, we live in very interesting times right now, and I believe these are the kind of times that are calling us to be at our best.

With so much fear in the world around COVID-19, I believe it's as important as ever to find our center.

To have a place of peace that we can access.

To have friends we can turn to for honest and thoughtful conversation.

And to keep strengthening ourselves even though the economy is being weakened.

With that said, there's a topic of conversation that I'm surprised has been relatively absent during the last several months.

That topic is immunity.

With all the collective concerns around becoming ill from an outside biologic invader, I'd think our leaders and our medical experts would be doubling down on encouraging us to enhance our immune system. Instead, our strategies are rather limited: wear a mask, wash your body parts, and avoid others.

The foundation of immunity has always been, and always will be, everything we do in our life that strengthens the immune system.

And likewise, the foundation of a well fortified immune system is to avoid or limit that which depletes our immunity.

Allow me to share with you one powerful immune diminisher to limit as best you can, and one immune enhancer to include more of in your life:

The immune system diminisher to let go of as best you can is something most of us know very well: fear.

Fear is a form of stress. That which stresses us puts us in the fight-or-flight response, also known as sympathetic nervous system dominance. Here's the simple but profound science of the stress response: over time, unnecessary stress can deplete the immune system. And when we deplete immunity, we make ourselves more susceptible to outside microscopic invaders.

Of course, fear is natural, and there are plenty of experiences in life where fear, anxiety or worry are the correct responses. Your job though, as best you can, is to let go of "optional" or "self-chosen" fears.

And by that I mean fears and worries such as "I'm no good", "I'm not loveable as I am", "I'm not perfect", "I need to lose weight to be happy", "I need to be someone else for others to accept me", "I need to eat perfectly" - I think you get the picture here.

Such thoughts and beliefs can literally and physiologically weaken your immune system. So why have them if you don't truly need them?

Now let's consider just one immune enhancer to include more of in your life:

Trust.

We don't usually think of trust or faith as an immune stimulator, but the simple science is this: anything that relaxes us takes us out of a stress response and increases immune function.

Think of any time you felt under the weather. You don't decide to run around like an anxious human as a way to prevent yourself from falling ill. You rest. You sleep. You relax. Your body instinctively knows that the physiologic relaxation response is the key to immune enhancement.

We can't be in an experience of trust and be in a stress response at the same time.

Trust and faith will always vanquish anxiety and fear.

So, believe more in yourself, in your life, in the goodness of the world, trust that your life is guided by a higher wisdom, and have faith that life has a greater plan for you and those you care about.

Dear Friends,

Over the course of almost 4 decades of working with people and their eating challenges, I've noticed something that many of us are familiar with:

The "all or nothing" approach to nutrition and weight loss.

This common strategy is founded on a very simple view of eating: either we're doing it perfectly - eating the right food in the right amount that will help us be healthy and thin forever - or we cut loose, let go of all our good guidelines and eat whatever we want, to heck with it all.

Chances are, if you've been eating or dieting in this way, or if you know someone who has, it can be a lifelong roller coaster ride that never ends.

When we're eating perfectly, we rightfully feel on top of the world. But when we let go, we feel a strange sense of freedom and rebelliousness, followed by some very predictable guilt and a feeling of self sabotage.

In case you haven't figured it out yet, the all-or-nothing approach to weight loss or healthy eating is doomed to fail. The sooner you can see the light, the better.

Of course, we put our hopes in this ill-fated strategy for a good reason: we believe that if we are "perfect," then we'll win the weight loss and health prize. We convince ourselves that this is the ultimate game plan for lasting success.

In this way, being a "perfect eater" is a hero's strategy. After all, the hero within us is the one who can do anything, who can save us from the evils of imperfect eating, and bring us the coveted prize of eternal health and beauty.

This is the part of us that believes in "magical thinking". It's the child in us who wants to soar high above all of life's challenges and never make a dietary mistake ever again.

But because we are human beings who are beautifully imperfect, none of us can keep up our ideal eating - however we define it - for very long. Life inevitably catches up to us, and we jump to the opposite extreme.

Can you see how predictable the outcome to this approach is?

And can you see how it will never take us where we want to go?

Chances are, if we're taking an all-or-nothing approach to food, we are likely doing this in other parts of life as well. The bottom line is, the all-or-nothing philosophy always gives us a temporary false sense of victory, soon to be followed by a crushing defeat.

So here's the good news. The remedy for this is very straightforward:

Take the middle road. Create balance. Let go of perfect. Embrace your own diversity. Stop the magical thinking, stop believing you need to be a dietary hero, and begin to see life as it truly is. You're a human and you're not perfect. Get over it while you're still alive. It's okay...

Of course, not everyone jumps on board with this worldview because it just isn't sexy. Perfect eating sounds way more cool.

Letting go of the all-or-nothing path requires that we mature. It's the wisdom of life asking us to grow up.

Taking the middle way isn't something you try once to see if it works. Rather, it's a daily practice.

In our Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training, we train our practitioners to help clients identify the ways that they can incorporate fun, pleasure, balance and some forbidden foods - along with all the healthy strategies - into one beautiful and doable approach that people can get behind.

From there, we can begin to find a freedom that we didn't even know existed for us.

Life is seldom an all-or-nothing proposition. It's time to see food differently, and in doing so, see the world differently.

I hope these words are helpful for you.
