Welcome to NP 110!

This course lays the foundation for the field of nutritional psychology (NP). It provides the first complete conceptualization for understanding the psychological, cognitive, behavioral, sensory-perceptual, interoceptive, and psychosocial aspects of the diet-mental health relationship. By completing this course, you will learn the concepts, methods, definitions, language, and research informing NP.

Please note that NO PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS of nutritional psychology are provided in this course. That content will be covered in the NP 200 series.

Upon enrolling, you will have 90 days to access and complete the course. After these 90 days, your account will be deactivated.
