Psychonutritional Education

Psychonutritional education is a term used in the emerging field of nutritional psychology to describe the integration of psychological theories and concepts with scientific research on nutrition and dietary patterns, aiming to understand and improve psychological well-being, emotional health, cognitive functioning, and behavior through nutrition.” An example of psychonutritional education involves exploring how one’s early attachment style influences their adult eating patterns and relationship with food.

Psychonutritional education is being developed through the Center for Nutritional Psychology, whose team of professionals in the psychological and nutritional sciences is working to create tools and methods steeped in both the psychological and nutritional sciences that can be applied to improve human psychological health and well-being, thereby contributing to the improvement of the way we think, feel, and experience.
