    Breath of fresh air in the eating and nutrition space
    I so appreciate Marc’s combination of common sense and big picture thinking as he helps people with their issues with food. Not many others with this lens in this space.

    Such Wisdom
    I really enjoy listening to Marc David on this podcast. Such profound wisdom that targets the heart. I have battled disordered eating (from chronic dieting) and have been reminded in so many ways that the issue is typically way deeper than just the food. I have especially learned that as I've been diagnosed with celiac disease. Being totally gluten free can feel restrictive at times. I would love to hear a podcast episode on navigating through celiac disease and having to radically change up one's diet with a history of chronic dieting. It's a grieving process having to give up certain foods for good.

    Feels like he’s talking to me!
    When I listened to his discussions about how food habits often reflect the broader life uncertainties, it resonated deeply with me. It was a reminder that self compassion and understanding our emotional needs can significantly shift our relationship with food from one of conflict to one of nurturing.

    So impactful!
    Marc’s insight is magnificent! This podcast has helped me understand not only myself but has been so helpful in my holistic nutrition practice as well. His certification is next on my list and I cannot wait to learn more about this fascinating topic! Also, thanks to everyone who participates! The real world application is so useful!

    One of the Best Podcasts Ever Produced
    The sessions that people have with Marc David are thought provoking and often relatable. They make me realize that I am not alone. They also make me realize the blessings that I have in life. Marc is a genuinely kind and compassionate person that brings so much peace of mind to me and to many that listen.

    The most practical yet gentle teaching I’ve ever heard on food and body

    Future of dieting
    This podcast opened my eyes to why am struggling with food. The information I Leander here I never heard of during my medical school. Must for everyone.
  • Jake Jorgovan
    I cried during the first episode I listened to
    The first time I listened to one of Marc’s podcasts he was talking with a man and tied in his dietary challenges with the dynamic he had with his father. As a listener in that interview, I felt seen and literally was tearing up in the middle of an airport. This podcast and Marc’s course are amazing and has impacted my relationship with food, body, and myself more than anything I’ve ever come across.

    So much value here!
    I love this podcast so much. I’ve been following Marc David for many years now and his Institute and he still never ceases to amaze me with his valuable insight. And major kudos to the participants who give us a window into their soul with each story. They have definitely changed my perspective.

    Gems of compassion
    I find gems in each episode that really help me soften and create more ease in my relationship with food. I am touched by Marc’s gift at seeing beyond the struggle with food to the whole person, and the underlying feelings that are asking for attention. His advice feels compassionate, and from the heart.

    Amazing Insight
    Marc David has the ability to see what is at the root of so many body image and eating issues just through honest conversation with people. It’s incredible to listen to him as he talks honestly and with so much compassion to each person he works with. I appreciate his insight and knowledge.
  • therealrebs
    Powerful Podcast
    By far one of the most helpful podcasts about the journey all humans experience with eating, food and body! Mark is a wonderful communicator and the guests and their stories are powerful. I look forward to each episode and am grateful for this podcast!
  • katy-agradeco
    Mark’s work is so valuable!
    Mark’s work is full of so much wisdom and compassion. I feel the guidance and information he shares has the capacity to bring a lot of freedom and self love to our process with food and body. I especially love his Slow Down Diet book.

    Best therapy for emotional eating
    This podcast is my current favorite for ongoing personal therapy for emotional eating that had plagued me my whole life. The interviews are very connective and inspiring and the talks by Marc David himself are paramount to my ongoing healing. I listen to and from my commute from work and this is one of my favorite times of day as a result. A

    Almost there
    I like a lot of the message in this podcast I just wish there were more language around Health At Every Size and Intuitive Eating. I don’t think it’s necessary to ask specific weight since those numbers can be triggering for people with disordered eating which I imagine a lot of the audience has.
  • Native Nutritional Therapy
    Love
    Love Marc David. He helps you discover the WHY and helps you dig into your thoughts and emotions to discover the problem and the solution.
  • CWilson-Duffy
    An Abudance of Information
    This podcast is remarkable in so many ways: 1) no matter the topic, Marc is able to make the podcast relevant for many; 2) the topics are interesting and not redundant; 3) he knows how to make people feel comfortable even through a podcast; and 4) he has so much wisdom to share that I have been able to garner many lessons even though I might not have the same exact issue as the person being interviewed. I am learning so much and hope that others take a moment to listen. It's eye-opening, but could also be life-changing. I know it has been for me.
  • anxious L
    Love!
    I love the podcasts. Whatever the topic, it always seems to hit home with me in some way and is always helpful. It is so calming to know that I am not the only one with issues around food. Marc explains things in a very understandable way and his advice for how to change the way we think about certain issues makes sense.Please keep the podcasts coming. After listening, I feel like I've just had a great therapy session.
  • Rodriguez, Raquel
    Mind Body Nutrition Coach
    I find these podcasts very enlightening, interesting and packed with information. They offer different topics and offer a detailed learning experience for the listener. I am a graduate of the Institute of the Psychology of Eating and I consider these podcasts live an extension of my training with Marc David. Thank you Marc!

    Nourishing wisdom (:
    As a grad of this transformative program, I feel it is such a joy & honor to hear Marc in action & hear his wisdom & insight as he connects with so many terrific & honest guests—by way of an easily accessible podcast, no less! Great thanks to these “expert guests” (as someone appropriately said in another comment) for being willing to be so open & discuss such vulnerabilities: it’s such a powerful tool, for I find I can —as I’m sure all of us can— relate in one way or another. It is a real gift to be able to tune into these very authentic conversations where we can witness others in their own process as well as shift to our own awareness, mental processing & inner dialogues, too. So much gratitude for this podcast! 💗

    Raw, Relatable, Insightful
    I can’t say enough about the wisdom and kindness Marc exudes during these episodes. His knowledge and insight is so helpful and powerful - no matter your relationship with food and yourself!
  • KMarreel
    The BEST Food Psych Podcast, hands down
    I’ve listened to so many nutrition, health and food psychology podcasts over the past several years, and nobody’s content comes close to the sound advice and expertise of Mark and The Psychology of Eating podcast. As a fitness professional, I find incredible personal healing for myself as well as insights to help others. Mark talks to the heart of our relationship with food with so many relevant applications to our daily health journey.

    This podcast changed my life
    This podcast really opened my eyes in the way of why we over eat or have eating disorders and why we can’t lose or gain weight literally the most important necessity is food and why do have so much trouble with it . This podcast is one of my all time favorites I’m so thankful ❤️
  • Aubrey Chaves
    Love this❤️
    I listened to this religiously for about a year. It totally changed how I see myself and helped me recognize the unhealthy ways I was thinking. It was so wonderful to hear so many dozens of stories— all so different but I could almost always relate in one way or another. It has been an empowering journey and this podcast was really a tool for healing.
  • Becca phd soon to be MD
    Click bait
    Seems like a lot of this is click bait. In the weight loss series specifically he claims the missing piece is spirituality. While an interesting take, ultimately he hangs the same old carrot on a stick and implies that weight loss will when... and then describes the missing piece. However you word this type of argument, you are placing blame on the individual. Fat is not a moral failure. It is biology. Stigma and stress and restriction often lead to weight gain and to blame it on the individual seems to miss the message in his own podcast. It is the social context that should impart patience and love etc. The only way to overcome our national eating disorder is to accept what is and embody the fact that true health will never be determined by the number on a scale or body shape/size.

    This podcast is just what I needed!
    I have struggled with body image, and food issues since I was very young. I recently found The Psychology of Eating podcast, and it’s really helping me understand the root of some of my issues. I love the phone sessions with all different kinds of people. Marc offers great insight and advice to help overcome issues around food.

    Marc is sharp, sensitive, and profoundly compassionate. He really gets it! Preach on, Marc!!
  • berkah
    Different perspective on food
    This podcast gives a totally different perspective of food, a part from the nutrition, shows how much the perspective of the one eating impacts the nutrition that is absorbed. It addresses the food relationships but the lessons learned can be applied to every aspect of life.
  • Baylee123bailey123
    Archetypes in us all
    Thank you for this podcast. I have found it invaluable in learning about myself through others' stories about their relationship to food and the external world. This is a unique and powerful podcast format that feels so deeply effective that I have to listen to every one! I also take something out of everyone's story that relates to my own. I appreciate you giving voice to the archetypes in in us all.

    So Supportive!!!!!
    The coaching sessions with Marc are so supportive. I download them & listen over & over to deeply digest the insights. His coaching is direct & soothing at the same time. I can feel his authenticity, natural intuition & care coming thru in unique ways for each client. Nourishment for the soul. It has supported my personal growth with my own relationship with my body, health & food. Thank you so much for your amazing work!!!

    Fantastic
    Marc's communication style, the deeply nourishing discussions, and the aha moments. Lots of wisdom to be learned here.
  • KMac13th
    helpful
    stumbled on this podcast and have benefitted by it, eating disorders are very complex, multilayered and individualized, the directors take a very compassionate approach.
  • mkrman
    Relatable and Real
    Really helpful and enlightening, addressing a variety of issues related to food, eating and psychology. First sessions are relatable and real, and follow-ups tend to be less serious (in a good way) and positive. I have to say I hope Emily to sound like she's actually talking though; she sounds monotonous and unnatural.
  • Kitlife.net
    Very engaging and insightful!
    I really enjoy and learn from this podcast. It's helpful to me on many levels. Appreciate the sharing others do and the work!
