beyond the food
a 7-day behaviour change programme for nutrition practitioners who want to understand what's really driving their clients' eating and get better client outcomes
You're a great practitioner. So why aren't some clients changing?
you've given them the plan. You've explained the evidence. You've adapted, simplified, and tried again.
and still — something isn't shifting.
this isn't an information problem. And it isn't a client motivation problem either, however much it can feel that way in the session.
what's missing is an understanding of what's happening beneath the behaviour. The needs the eating is meeting. The stories the client has been carrying for years. The values that could sustain change if you knew how to find them.
most nutrition training stops at the surface. This programme goes deeper.
what is beyond the food?
… a 7-day programme that gives nutrition practitioners a practical behaviour change framework for understanding and working with what's really driving their clients' eating.
it's not about becoming a therapist. It's about becoming a more effective clinician — one who understands that behaviour change rarely happens at the level of the plan, and knows what to do about that.
every day is short, focused, and directly applicable to your next client session. By the end of the week you'll have a complete clinical framework — the BEYOND model — and six practical micro-interventions you can use immediately, within your existing scope of practice.

this programme is for you if…
You're a qualified nutrition practitioner or nutritional therapist who regularly sits with clients who know what they should be eating and aren't doing it.
You want to understand behaviour change at a deeper level than your training has taken you so far.
You feel equipped with nutrition knowledge but less equipped with psychological tools and you'd like that to change.
You want practical, evidence-informed approaches you can apply within your existing scope of practice, not theory that stays in the classroom.

please contact your membership/regulatory body to check the content of this course against their specific requirements. As an example, the current guidelines from BANT stipulate that specialist post-qualification training is needed to work with clients with eating disorders. Training must have nutritional, psychological and clinical aspects as well as an assessment. This course has all of these elements and being 6-months long (and incorporating 60 hours of learning) means it goes into each in significant depth.

yes absolutely! This course will cover disordered eating and eating disorders. This means if you work with another niche within nutrition (e.g., digestive health, sports, fertility etc.) you won't need to turn away clients with eating disorders/disordered eating, and will build a toolkit to adjust how you practice with these clients.
