## Resource

What really drives your food choices? Learn the psychology of eating — and why it must come before any nutrition conversation. In this episode, I break down the psychology of eating: the belief-to-behavior chain that drives every food choice, why diet culture structurally depends on keeping you disconnected from your own psychology, and what actually changes when you start addressing the root. This is part one of a two-part series. Part two covers the physiology of eating. Together, they are the foundation of how I think about eating behavior — and eating behavior is what determines your nutritional outcome. What you'll learn in this episode: Why nutrition is the outcome of eating, not the other way around How your belief system, thoughts, and emotions create your eating behavior Why restricting comfort foods carries a psychological cost most practitioners never address How diet culture is structurally designed to keep you disconnected from your own psychology The first steps to evaluate and address the psychological factors influencing your relationship to food Mentioned in the show: Groundwork: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/groundwork Non-Diet Client Assessment Tool: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/clientassessment Coach Corner Vault: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/coach-corner Non-Diet Coaching Certification Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/non-diet-coaching-certification/ What To Say When Clients Want To Lose Weight Guide: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/what-to-say-when-clients-want-to-lose-weight Weight-Neutral Coaching Training: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/shop
