Anorexia is a serious, life-threatening disorder. Individuals with anorexia tend to care intensely about meeting societal expectations and view themselves as overweight even when their weight is dangerously low. The goals with anorexia are to gently encourage the individual to see that they have a problem, to see themselves as they really are, and to develop realistic expectations and behaviors. Calorie logs and rewards can be used to track and encourage a healthy caloric intake. Overweight individuals have typically learned to use food to comfort themselves. The goals with overweight individuals are to help the individual identify their true needs and to get those needs met in healthy ways.

While most eating disorder issues are treated by cognitive behavioral methodologies or specialized outpatient/inpatient programs, Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, PhD provide relief first and foremost for the brain of one suffering from an eating disorder----without giving them medication. We believe that the neural circuitries responsible for the compulsive behaviors with eating are not necessarily only a neurotransmitter issue but of overused neural networks that affect the harmonization, balance, and decisions of the whole brain.
