A grounded, evidence-informed course on eating with awareness, balance, and confidence with Professor Daniel Martin, Mindful Eating

Across 15 focused lessons, this course explores the foundations of Mindful Eating and shows you how to apply them in everyday life.

By the end of the course, you will have a personal mindful eating routine that feels realistic and sustainable, helping you move from autopilot eating toward a more confident and compassionate relationship with food.
