Eating disorders are serious, potentially life threatening illnesses that are influenced by emotional and cultural factors. Each year millions of people in the United States develop serious and sometimes life-threatening eating disorders. A large percent of those afflicted with eating disorders are adolescent and young adult women, these illnesses can also strike men and older women. There is a strong connection between depression and eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and binge eating. They may be triggered by: low self-esteem, feelings of helplessness, a fear of becoming fat, chemical imbalances, genetic pre-disposition, stress, anxiety or a traumatic event.

Our Practitioner’s Holistic Recommendations

Steffeny Smith, MSW, LCSW, Psychotherapist | Profile
Are you obsessed with food, weight, your body, losing control, and unable to concentrate or follow through with commitments?
Does perfectionism and black and white thinking rule your daily life?

Building a new relationship with food requires you to shift the focus from food to feelings, to learn to listen to your inner belly wisdom instead of listening to the raging obsessions in your head, that you think define you.

I can help you wake up to the inner voice that you try to hide from.

Often an overgrowth of CANDIDA in the colon causes sugar cravings. By thoroughly cleansing the gastrointestinal track these cravings can be stopped or at least controllable.

Consultation and colon hydrotherapy, oral intake of cleansing herbs and healthy bacteria, and change in diet are some of the ways we help reduce sugar cravings.

Can be caused by parasites( including candida) and poor food choices.

After the colon hydrotherapy treatment I teach the benefits of fresh, raw foods, herbs and teas that can help eliminate these stressors to the body.
