A WOLVERLEY psychologist, who appeared in a Channel 4 hit TV show, is going back to Harvard for the fourth year in a row after his course was approved yet again.

Pioneer of culinary psychology, Stelios Kiosses has successfully renewed his course at Harvard Extension School for the fourth year in a row.

The course, which delves into the relationship between nutrition, food, and brain function, will commence from September 2024.

Stelios said: “I am thrilled and honoured to have the chance to share my passion for Culinary Psychology with the students at Harvard Extension School once again. It's incredibly rewarding to witness their enthusiasm and curiosity as they delve into this fascinating subject."

His initial idea for the course took shape at Simpson's Restaurant in Birmingham, where he developed activities and group therapy sessions.

He then featured on Channel 4’s The Hoarder Next Door where Stelios helped extreme hoarders.

It was from the show that he realised the need for education surrounding the connection between food and mental well-being and decided to collaborate with chef Andreas Antona.

Stelios said: “Working closely with the chef, I witnessed first-hand the powerful impact that food can have on our emotions, cognitive functions, and overall mental health.

"It became clear to me that there was a profound need to bring this knowledge into the academic realm, where it could benefit a wider audience and contribute to the growing field of Culinary Psychology."

In addition to his teaching endeavours, Stelios is also set to release a book centred around the subject of Culinary Psychology
