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.

Eating disorders are issues related to attachment. Without healthy attachment in childhood, adults learn to compensate and control their external environment with an eating disorder. Treatment includes building healthy cognitive thoughts, re-wiring parts of the brain that makes an individual feel shamed and unworthy, all the while addressing the very real concerns of the eating disorder.

I work with compulsive overeating, bingeing and purging. I use Neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback) which reduces the stress and anxiety that underneath compulsive eating issues. I used a nutritional approach with supplements, education around food triggers, diet and exercise in the best sense of these terms. I believe in empowerment of the client and do use hypnotherapy to help people. I record the session and they listen to it at home to help them deal with the unconscious patterning around food addiction. I look at the food and love issues and help the client find a better way.
