Understanding emotional eating is one thing, but recognizing it in your clients and helping them conquer it is another. This course will teach you everything you need to:
From hormones and neurotransmitters to relationships and environment, Keri discusses the real reasons why we emotionally eat and what happens in our bodies and brains.
Many different underlying emotions can drive people to overeat. Keri reviews several common personas and how specific emotions can affect how a person eats.
Some clients will readily proclaim, “I’m an emotional eater!” Other clients may not identify so easily. Keri teaches the right questions to ask to uncover emotional eating and how to interpret a client’s response.
Keri will walk you through the keys to successful interviews and how to build relationships with your clients, earn their trust, and convince them you’re on the same team.
Keri shares her go-to strategies and coaching techniques for working with emotional eaters. You’ll also receive tools and handouts to use in sessions with clients.
Keri’s case studies show you how to put the whole process together so you can feel confident working with emotional eaters. You’ll learn from real world scenarios to become a more successful health practitioner.
Keri explains the true meaning of emotional eating and the precise difference between emotional eating and cravings. You'll learn exactly how emotions can dictate food choices and the major things happening inside your clients’ brains and bodies that are encouraging them to emotionally eat. Keri reveals the main hormones and neurotransmitters at play and the mechanisms of how emotions can alter the way they function (in an easy-to-understand format!). She also covers all the non-science stuff behind emotional eating, like environmental and cultural factors affecting your clients' food choices and eating habits. After this lesson, you'll understand the two biggest problems with regular emotional eating and have a solid foundation for working with clients who emotionally eat.
Emotional eating can manifest in different ways for different people, making it one of the most complex areas of nutrition coaching. In this lesson, you'll get up close and personal with several types of emotional eaters you may encounter. Keri discusses common emotional eating personas, identifying these clients during your sessions, and strategies you can use to help them work through their emotional challenges and eating habits. After this lesson, you'll understand which questions you need to ask your clients and how to uncover key clues you may have previously missed that explain why your clients are struggling to lose weight.
This lesson is all about strategy and will provide you with the tools you need to be successful when working with emotional eaters. Keri provides the exact questions to ask during client interviews, trusted tools to use with clients, and specific strategies to implement with each type of emotional eater. She also teaches you how to handle emotional non-eaters—those are the clients who stop eating when their emotions get out of control—and how to recognize when clients need other experts like psychologists or doctors to join your support team. After this lesson, you'll feel more confident in identifying and working with emotional eaters, and you'll be armed with the tools and handouts you need to better support your clients.
Keri walks you through several real-world case studies so you can see the whole coaching process in action. You'll learn how to recognize hidden behaviors that you previously may have missed and how to guide a client to reveal this information. You'll see exactly how Keri handles sessions with clients who emotionally eat and the specific strategies and tools she implements. You'll also learn how to help clients overcome their emotional eating and finally reach their goals. After this lesson, you'll feel totally confident, knowledgeable, and prepared to help your clients conquer their emotional eating...for good!
