Marc David is a pioneering nutritional psychologist, author, and the founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating (IPE), the world's leading school in the field of eating psychology and mind-body nutrition. With over three decades of experience, he has transformed the way health professionals and individuals alike understand the relationship between the mind, body, and food. His innovative approach integrates nutrition science with psychology, spirituality, and somatic awareness to address the deeper dimensions of why and how we eat.
David is the author of two landmark books: Nourishing Wisdom: A Mind-Body Guide to Healing Your Relationship with Food and The Slow Down Diet: Eating for Pleasure, Energy, and Weight Loss. Both works challenge conventional diet culture and invite readers to explore food not as an enemy to be controlled, but as a vehicle for greater health, pleasure, and self-understanding. His teachings emphasize that our emotional state, stress levels, and quality of attention profoundly influence digestion, metabolism, and overall well-being.
As a sought-after speaker, coach, and educator, Marc David has inspired thousands of practitioners and individuals around the world through his programs, writings, and media appearances. His work with Nightingale-Conant brings his transformative ideas in nutritional psychology to a broad audience, offering practical tools to slow down, tune in, and develop a healthier, more joyful relationship with food and life.
