Mood Before Food: Heal Emotional Eating with Food Psychology

Stop using food and screens to numb. Start using awareness to nourish.

You know what to eat. That’s not the problem. The problem is that when stress hits, your hand reaches for the snack before your brain catches up. You’re buffering—using food to avoid feeling. Mood Before Food addresses the emotions first. Once you have tools for emotional regulation, your food choices shift naturally.
 
What You’ll Learn:
  • Why you reach for food when you’re not hungry (food psychology foundations)
  • How to retrain cravings and decode what your body actually needs
  • Tools to process emotions instead of numbing them with food
  • Sustainable practices so you don’t default back when stress returns

Who This Is For:

You’re using food to cope with stress or uncomfortable emotions. You know what to eat but can’t follow through. You want to model healthy food psychology for your kids—but you don’t have it yourself yet.

Mood Before Food: Nourish the Body to Stabilize the Soul.

For the Parent who is tired of numbing.

As featured in my chapter, Mood Before Food, in the Handbook for Human Potential.
 
“All disease starts at the emotional level.”
 
You can’t eat clean if your nervous system is messy. We stop the buffering. We rewire the cravings. We heal the gut. Not just to “lose weight,” but to build the physical capacity to show up for your life.
 
The Focus: Gut-Brain Axis, Emotional Processing, Metabolic Flexibility.
 
The Outcome: Freedom from the pantry. Energy for the playground.

Functional Embodiment: Regulate Your Nervous System Through Somatic Healing

Stop reacting from your primal brain. Start responding from wisdom.

You don’t want to yell at your kids. But when stress hits, your primal brain takes over before you can think. You snap. You shut down. You repeat the patterns you swore you’d never pass down. Functional Embodiment teaches you to regulate your nervous system through body-based tools that create space between stimulus and response.
 
What You’ll Learn:
  • How your primal brain works and why you react the way you do (it’s biology, not a character flaw)
  • Somatic regulation practices: breathwork, grounding, body-based awareness you can use in the moment
  • How to release generational trauma stored in your nervous system
  • Sustainable habits that keep you grounded so your kids inherit presence, not reactivity
Who This Is For:
 
You’re yelling at your kids and hating yourself for it. You’re reacting instead of responding. You know you’re repeating patterns from your own childhood. You want to break the cycle—for the kids.

Made with Love

Most people try to change their eating habits through restriction, willpower, or deprivation—what I call “low-vibe energy.”

The result? Tension. Rebellion. Self-sabotage.

But here’s what’s different: Once you learn my Mood Before Food tools, changing your relationship with food feels easy. You’ll naturally crave foods that nourish your body and brain, allowing you to show up as your best self. It works. Clients call it miraculous. And it’s guaranteed.

Time and Energy

“I don’t have time to eat healthy.” If this sounds like you, you need this program more than anyone.

Here’s the truth: Eating nourishing foods gives you more time and energy. Convenient processed foods do the opposite—they drain your energy and steal your time.

The investment you make in nourishing yourself pays dividends every single day.

My Approach

My clients say that I am gentle, kind, and friendly- inviting them to continuously be curious and compassionate in their journey. 

 

That said, I will for sure ask you if I can push you, when I get a whiff of showing up small. 

Made with Love

Many people “try” to make food changes using low vibe unsustainable energies like restriction, willpower, or deprivation.

Cue tension.

Cue rebellion.

Cue self-sabotage. 

Once you get your brain un-hijacked from man-made calories, which I promise you is simpler and easier than it sounds, THEN you will be able to listen to your body’s cravings (and your cravings will be for nourishing foods.)


It works every time.

It is reported to seem miraculous.

And GUARANTEED. 

Time and Energy

If you think you don’t have the time and energy to get nourishing foods in your body… then you need it even more. 

 

Eating nourishing foods will give you more time and energy in your day. Period. 

 

Convenient foods create low vibes and EAT our time and energy.

“I am now obsessed with performance through self-care and cut out most processed foods and almost all sugar (outside of some fruits/veggies).

 

I have never felt happier/smarter. I am sleeping super deep (comparatively), and my health issues are nearly gone (4 months in/excited for the next 2) – even though I am only 30, I was running my body into the ground.

 

I am probably doing 2x the amount of work (productivity not activity)/have clear boundaries from the clarity to drive that performance. Less coffee etc. The work is more fun.” – Devin

Your Transformation Process:

Mood Before Food
Why do most diets fail? Because they ignore your emotional state. When you’re stressed or overwhelmed, your body is in survival mode—making lasting food changes nearly impossible. In this phase, you’ll:

  • Release physiological stress and create space for sustainable change  
  • Develop curiosity about your eating patterns (not judgment)
  • Learn to manage your mind and generate emotions that serve you
  • Shift from willpower to genuine desire

De and Re- Normalize FOOD

We’ve been sold a lie: that conveniently packaged “healthy” calories are real food. They’re not—they’re marketing. In this phase, you’ll: 

  • Recalibrate your taste buds to crave whole, nourishing foods
  • Transform your microbiome so your body craves what it needs  
  • Identify how different foods affect your energy, mood, and clarity  
  • Develop new, empowering beliefs about food and your body

Cellular Knowing(Integration Support)

This is where transformation becomes embodied. It’s not enough to *know* what to do intellectually—you need to feel it in your cells. In this phase, you’ll:

  • Integrate psychedelic experiences, microdosing, or ketamine therapy  
  • Drop intellectual learning into your body’s wisdom
  • Access your higher self for clarity on business and life decisions  
  • Cultivate a patient, playful presence in your daily life

Personal Coaching

What you Get:

Weekly 1:1 Coaching – 50-minute sessions via Zoom 

Between-Session Support – Text me for check-ins, label-reading help, or when you’re stuck

Recorded Content Library– Access to my LNT Lessons and Theory (optional, not mandatory)

Awareness Journals – Track your progress and share insights between sessions

Flexible Payment Options– Payment plans, scholarships, and friends & family rates available. I want money to be a vehicle, not a roadblock. 

This is the all-in, “I’m ready to change my life” option. If you want to feel good and alive in your body and brain, this is where we work together—one-on-one, every week, for 4 months, 17 sessions.

FAQs

Short answer is no. I give “tools not rules” for you decide how you want to feel and then to connect the dots of what foods create the state of health you desire. I do have a food re-education section that teaches the difference between nourishing food and man-made calories. 

I do not. I believe there is a time and place for different ways of nurturing our bodies. I help you listen to your own body and choose. I have personal experience in keto, vegan, vegetarian, carnivore, paleo, raw, intermittent fasting, detoxing, and cleansing. Each has their own value and each body has its own needs at certain times. My main focus is whole foods rather than ultra processed foods. Good fats and regenerative proteins are essential. 

Absolutely not. You do not HAVE to do anything. Through my program you will learn about how to listen to your body and what foods make your cells sing with health. I will also help you upgrade the ingredients in your favorite foods so that they nourish you. 

I work with grandparents who are wanting their health back and role model healthy for their grandkids.

I work with CEO’s and business owners who want a more focused and productive mind.

I work with health conscious humans who are already on the path, have tried many things, and looking for the tools to put their health puzzle together. 

In our evolution, we humans are wired to eat together; breaking this feels wrong. Through coaching with me, you will gain the internal management skills to either: first participate in the foods and drinks at a social event without beating yourself up. Or second, be able to show up, connect, and enjoy regardless of participating in food and drinks.

There is not a wrong or right way- you will gain tools to choose consciously and have your own back about your choice. “Never say never” is an important motto I teach in my program and live by.

I encourage you to tap into your gut and heart and ask if you WANT to invest your time and attention into your wellbeing. This is all you need to move forward, a decision that you are ready and want it now.

Circumstances will always happen that have the option of creating chaos; the beginning module Mood of my program focuses on managing stress, lowering anxiety, and knowing how to undo depression by learning how to manage your mind and emotions internally instead of using harmful coping mechanisms like comfort foods, scrolling, drinking, and the like.

The coaching work I offer applies to all areas of life; we coach on whatever is causing you stress: relationships, parenting, work, running a business, finding your purpose, health struggles… truly anything and everything.

My clients come for food changes and stay for multiple transformations by using my coaching tool called the “Internal Human Algorithm of Change.”

I am one of Chandra’s biggest fans. I started by devouring her website content when Chandra hired me to help her with the backend of her website.

Before I met Chandra, I was interested in investing in my health but felt regularly confused about what was actually healthy. I have struggled with anxiety on-going in my life and also was seeing people in my life diagnosed with disease and really wanted to find a route into truly taking care of my health: physical, mental, and emotional.

I often end my weekly coaching sessions with Chandra by saying, “You are the best” because Chandra truly has helped me in what she calls “Own Body Expert.”

I am using the tools she teaches for how to deal with my anxiety and overwhelm; learning how to listen to my heart and gut in combo with talking back to my brain has literally changed my life.  I am currently in the food module where she delivers what she promises… re-educating on nourishing food and doing it with Love! – Nicole
