The course is ideal for those health professionals aspiring to instill healthful and optimal food-and-eating behaviors in their patients, clients, coachees, family, and friends, and in themselves. By addressing the underlying and multidimensional “whole person” causes of what (food choices) and how (eating behaviors) we eat, the Foundations of Whole Person Integrative Eating® (WPIE) Certification Course brings evidence-based, scientifically sound knowledge and practical strategies to treat the root causes of overeating, overweight, and obesity. The course accomplishes this by providing the knowledge, skills, strategies, and “in action” techniques for health professionals to guide clients, patients, and coachees to make the behavior changes needed to implement WPIE as a dietary lifestyle; a lifetime practice.
