In treating eating disorders, we partner with clients to uncover the emotional triggers fueling their behavior. Be it past trauma or societal norms about body image, we assist in identifying the unique role the disorder plays in their lives. This facilitates a more tailored recovery process. Simultaneously, we challenge harmful narratives around body image and food, cultivated by diet culture. Our ultimate goal is to help clients establish a healthier connection with food and their own bodies, opening the door to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

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 complex problems. They can be rooted in self-esteem based concerns. They may also be rooted in societal pressures or need for control in one's life. Some folks with eating disorders have a family history which informs the problem. Looking at family history and/or social messages can help inform the root cause of such struggles.

Eating Disorders are often very misunderstood. Like addiction, many think the behavior is a choice. Unfortunately, once a person has crossed the line into a true eating disorder they no longer are in control even though that is often just what they were searching for to begin with.
