Description

Every year millions of Americans struggle to lose weight, financing a huge dieting industry that earns fifty-five billion dollars annually. Despite their efforts, two-thirds of American adults remain either obese or overweight. It's clear that dieting doesn't work, and failed attempts to lose weight only make the situation worse by encouraging disordered eating behavior.

In Integrative Medicine for Binge Eating, respected psychiatrist and eating disorder expert Dr. James M. Greenblatt explains how appetite is controlled by the brain's neurochemical systems. The book's inspiring New Hope model combines the best in traditional and complementary approaches for recovery from Binge Eating Disorder and food addiction. Unlike dieting, which provides only a temporary fix, this book offers a permanent solution based on scientific research to help you reclaim a healthy relationship with food and end the vicious cycle of food addiction.

The book delivers:
■ Insight into genetics and eating disorders
■ How laboratory evaluations can point the way to individualized support
■ The role of vitamins and minerals in controlling Binge Eating Disorder
■ The role of medications in controlling Binge Eating Disorder
