Incredible
An individualized program will be developed based on assessment findings. Supportive practices used include the latest in biofeedback, neurofeedback and healing practices such as breath work, meditation, clinical hypnosis and guided visualizations designed for your specific needs that enable you to reach your weight loss goals. The focus will be to determine triggers and cravings then using the above modalities to calm the brain neurologically and the body physiologically to ensure success.
Stress
Stress "forces" your body into seeking ways to soothe itself.
Chronic stress causes your body to secrete excessive amounts of the hormone cortisol that triggers food cravings for high-fat high sugar foods. The metabolically active visceral fat is deposited in the belly interfering with liver function, the processing of cholesterol and insulin and is believed to also compromise the function of other body tissues and systems.

The Yo-Yo Effect
The biology which enabled you to survive famines is now killing you during times of plenty.
Leptin (a hormone secreted by fat cells) forces you to regain weight after dieting (causing the yo-yo effect) and in some people causing them to regain even more weight than before.
50% to 70% of adult body weight is genetically influenced. You can still lose weight but it is harder. For some people, the issue is not losing so much weight but rather becoming physically fit and healthy with the body structure they were born with. The real goal is healthy weight management, whatever that may mean for your particular body.

Food Addictions
Food addictions can drive your food choices.
The nucleus accumbens secretes unusually large amounts of the neurotransmitter dopamine when you eat real or artificial sugar causing binging. The amygdala becomes active driving you emotionally when you are hungry. The orbitofrontal cortex (just above the orbits of the eyes) monitors eating but when you overeat it shuts off (activating another nearby region making it easier to overeat). Even obese people having hormonal imbalances respond the same way. These biological responses indicate the brain processes stimuli related to eating in the same way it responds to other addictive stimuli.

Food Allergies
Food allergies can cause you to overeat
There is a connection between histamines (which cause allergy symptoms) and AMP Kinase (enzyme buildup in the hypothalamus) shown to increase appetite. Do you have food allergies causing weight gain?

Your Power
Discover the power within you to engage your mind and brain to manage your weight.
Behavioral patterns laid down through years of eating in specific ways are very very hard to change. No wonder diets do not work. Neurologically and physiologically your mind and body want to have the types of food they have always had to nourish and sooth. Cravings can be intense and the drive to eat certain foods automatic.
