There are diet doctors, nutritionists, and dieticians, but Dr. Stephen Gullo stands out as a “food strategist” who has developed an approach to help those struggling with diets and weight control. Many individuals who have faced challenges in the past have found support through his methods.

This marks the first time Dr. Gullo is making his insights and strategies available to a broader audience, expanding beyond his established client base. Previously accessible only through private sessions in his New York office, Dr. Gullo’s expertise is now offered online at a more accessible price point, allowing individuals from various backgrounds to benefit from his approach to weight control.

Renowned as a pioneer in behavioral nutrition, Dr. Stephen Gullo is launching his transformative insights and strategies through a new online course and app. For those unable to travel to his office, the course and app introduce techniques and approaches to reshape one’s relationship with food.

This new program aligns with a broader trend in healthcare that emphasizes preventative and behavior-focused solutions to health challenges. Dr. Gullo’s approach does not merely address weight control but delves into the psychological and behavioral aspects of eating. His methods reflect a shift from temporary diets to lifelong wellness practices that can lead to more sustainable outcomes. By focusing on creating healthier habits, he empowers users to make positive changes that endure over time.

The course “The Missing X For Success In Weight Control” under BeNu Health represents a significant step in Dr. Gullo’s mission to reshape the field of weight control by combining insights from habit psychology, nutrition, and behavioral economics. These methods are designed to help individuals approach weight control through strategy rather than willpower alone.

“This is the first time in my long career that I’m making my strategies for lasting weight control available online. People worldwide now have access to a program built on strategies that have proven effective for diverse clients,” Dr. Gullo shares. “Dieting isn’t just about food; it’s about learning to take control of your life to food. Many find this empowering and a step toward psychological well-being.”

A testament to his colleagues’ respect, Dr. Gullo was invited to deliver the keynote address at the World Obesity Conference on October 26, 2024, speaking on “Behavioral Nutrition, The Second Revolution In The New World of Weight Control.”

Behavioral Nutrition emphasizes behavioral strategies that consider a person’s unique food history. This approach recognizes that excess weight is often a symptom of deeper habits and relationships with food rather than the core issue itself. Relying on strategic approaches over willpower, Dr. Gullo introduces “cognitive switching,” a technique that helps individuals reshape lifelong patterns and establish healthier relationships with food. This framework incorporates elements of psychology, nutrition, behavioral economics, and the neurochemistry of food to provide what Dr. Gullo calls an “Eating Print”—a personalized guide to navigating one’s relationship with food.

While traditional dieting focuses on losing weight, Behavioral Nutrition addresses the underlying habits contributing to weight struggles, making behavior the primary focus before nutrition.
