Act early! Treat eating disorders and radically change your quality of life with Brain Training Therapy, unique in Europe
Do you have a loved one suffering from anorexia or bulimia?
Over 10,000 deaths occur every year because of eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. Although at first they can be mistaken for typical teenage behaviors, they become habits that persist in the patient's life. And over time they lead to the destruction of the body, the psyche and overall health.
If you know someone suffering from an eating disorder, it is important to stand by them and help them get through this difficult period of their life.
Offer them the support and care they need. And encourage them to follow a medical therapy that will help them break free from destructive behaviors.
Eating disorders can be treated, starting from the brain!
Dozens of studies have shown that Neurofeedback therapy treats eating disorders and helps patients change the way they perceive their body image.
It relies on a technology that helps the patient change their thought patterns and build a healthy relationship with food and with their own body.
With the help of auditory and visual elements, the brain learns to react differently in moments of impulsivity and self-destruction: self-induced vomiting, excessive exercise or the fear of eating.
A safe, non-invasive procedure
- Completely painless and with no side effects
- No electrical stimuli or other dangerous and ineffective procedures
- A technology used from the very beginning at NASA, to train the focus of astronauts and pilots in highly stressful situations
- You can now benefit from the effects of Neurofeedback therapy right here in Romania
What are anorexia and bulimia?
Anorexia, also known as anorexia nervosa, is a mental health disorder. It is characterized by:
- Excessive fear of gaining extra weight
- A distorted body image
- Significant food restriction
- Severe weight loss
People with anorexia exercise excessively or forcibly eliminate the food they have eaten (for example, through vomiting or the use of laxatives or diuretics) in order to keep their body weight low.
Bulimia, also known as bulimia nervosa, is a mental health disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating (consuming large amounts of food in a short time), followed by compensatory behaviors such as:
- Self-induced vomiting
- Misuse of laxatives or diuretics
- Excessive physical exercise, to avoid gaining weight.
People with bulimia often feel out of control during binge eating episodes and experience feelings of guilt and shame afterwards.
Both anorexia and bulimia can have serious physical and mental health consequences, including:
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Electrolyte and hormonal imbalances
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Dental problems
- Infertility and depression.
What causes them?
The exact causes of anorexia and bulimia are not fully understood. But there are studies showing that these eating disorders arise from a combination of biological, psychological and environmental factors.
Biological factors that can contribute to the development of these disorders include:
- genetic predisposition
- neurochemical imbalances in the brain
- hormonal imbalances.
Psychological factors that can trigger anorexia and bulimia:
- low self-esteem
- perfectionism
- anxiety and depression
People with these disorders may use food and weight control as a way of coping with negative emotions, or with the feeling that they don't belong in society.
Environmental factors that contribute to the development of eating disorders:
- social pressure to be thin
- a culture that encourages weight loss
- stress at work and in personal life
For example, exposure to social media images promoting unrealistic beauty standards can increase the risk of developing a toxic image of one's physical appearance. Which in turn leads to harmful eating behaviors.
How does brain training therapy help with eating disorders?
- It is important for the patient to act early and seek therapy, in order to reduce the risk of developing health problems caused by destructive eating and lifestyle habits.
- Through this medical therapy, emotions become balanced and the patient gains control over the urges to binge eat or to exercise to the point of exhaustion.
- By training the brain to respond differently to trigger stimuli and to adopt new patterns of activity, brain training therapy helps people with eating disorders break free from destructive behaviors and change the way they perceive their physical appearance.
For example, a study published in the journal Eating Disorders found that neurofeedback therapy helped improve body image and reduce the effects of eating disorders in a group of adolescent girls with anorexia.
What does brain training therapy consist of?
If you want to help your loved one break free from an eating disorder, the therapeutic process consists of 3 simple steps, which we go through together:
They undergo a BrainMap investigation, in which we discover exactly which brain areas we will work on. This tells us how we will structure the therapy sessions.
Based on the results, they receive a personalized treatment plan, suited to the uniqueness of their brain.
They follow the established plan and attend the regular brain training sessions.
Even after the first sessions, the patient starts to reduce destructive and impulsive habits, gains more control over their emotions and begins to change how they feel about their physical appearance.
