The Certified Food Psychology Coach program from the Spencer Institute (California) is a short, self-paced course covering both theories of food psychology and the business of marketing a food coaching practice.  This commercial product is targeted primarly to non-licensed ‘Life Coaches’ and other counselors.  As described on their site, coaching is not part of the allied health field or the fields of counseling, therapy, or clinical psychology.

The Spencer Institute claims accreditation from the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP).  The AADP itself is unrecognized accreditation agency.

The CFPS should not be accepted as a valid endorsement for any counseling or coaching professional,
