Ask anyone, and chances are, they’d love to be healthy. But the food industry doesn’t make it easy.
Fad diets. Magic weight-loss pills. Cryptic food labels that make you feel like you’re playing Battleships more than reading ingredients. (What the heck is E171 anyway?)
You deserve a deeper understanding of the magic that happens when you nourish your body. And Mindvalley’s got just the thing: online nutrition courses—with 600,000+ having gone through them, it’s a testament to how powerful these treasure troves of expert-led guidance really are.
Weight loss courses
Fun fact: 34% of people surveyed by Forbes aimed to shed pounds for their 2024 goals. Only about 8%, though, tend to stick with their goals for one month.
So if those unrealistic resolutions aren’t working for you, maybe you’d like to take a different approach, like joining weight-loss courses.
Don’t be mistaken, though. The following are no diet programs; rather, they’re about food freedom.
WILDFIT Masterclass
Mindvalley’s WILDFIT may just be one of the best online nutrition courses out there. And here’s why: While a lot of the fads out there are restrictive, this free masterclass helps you cultivate a healthy relationship with food.
Because the bottom line is, healthy eating isn’t only about eating whatever you want whenever you want; it’s also not eating what you don’t want when you don’t want.
