    About this ebook

    Science is beginning to understand that our thinking has a deep and complicated relationship with our eating. Our thoughts before, during, and after eating profoundly impact our food choices, our digestive health, our brain health, and more. Yet most of us give very little thought to our food beyond taste and basic nutritional content.

    In this curriculum, Dr. Caroline Leaf helps participants avoid fads and focus on their unique nutritional needs and thought patterns in order to positively impact their own health through right thinking. Anyone who is tired of traditional diet plans that don't work, who struggles with emotional eating, or who simply isn't satisfied with their level of health will find in this program the key to discovering how they can begin developing a healthier body, brain, and spirit. Perfect for small groups who want something a little different.

      Introduction

      We live in a world where the McDonald’s sign is more recognizable than the Christian cross, where more and more people suffer from obesity and malnutrition—a world where thousands of people die from preventable lifestyle diseases. Indeed, many of us are unwittingly exposed to foods that affect our physical and mental health, from weight gain and cardiovascular disease to depression and anxiety, which can make us feel like our life is spiraling out of control.

      As I discussed in my book Think and Eat Yourself Smart, we are facing a global food crisis—something that affects us all. Notwithstanding the many ways we
