Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that can have severe consequences on an individual's physical and emotional well-being. Identifying these warning signs early on is crucial in providing timely help and support to those who may be struggling. These disorders often stem from a complex interplay of genetic, biological, psychological, and environmental factors. At Path to Change, we offer expertise in this sensitive area of counseling.

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.
