Foodspace
Harnessing the power of food choice architecture for lasting behavior change
Did you know?
Around 95% of decisions are made irrationally or without conscious thought.
Despite the best intentions of a balanced diet, these unconscious decisions favor “convenient” and “easy”, and are governed by our food environment, or foodspace.
So what can we do about it?
The Solution
Our foodspace influences our food decisions, which establish our food behaviors… which may or may not support our health goals. Foodspace equips you with the skills needed to help your clients create intentional food spaces that support healthy habits through lasting behavior change.
We can begin to design a foodspace that:
Outsmarts the brain to leverage autopilot decisions & natural tendency
Empowers your clients via a personalized approach
Promotes healthy eating strategies rooted in behavioral science
Sets your clients up to make the healthy food choices that are aligned with their personal health goals
Food Choice Architecture (FCA) is the intentional design of food choices and spaces to make the healthy choices the easiest choice, without restricting options. FCA is rooted in behavioral science and can strongly influence the way we select and enjoy food.
Foodspace takes an unconventional, “outside in” approach to nutrition & behavior change. Rather than focusing on “what to eat”, we focus on environment design as the key to changing food behaviors.
