Dr. Laurel Mellin's Emotional
Brain Training (EBT) app and her new book, '1-2-3 JOY!,' present a
novel approach to stress and eating habits by leveraging
neuroplasticity to rewire the brain for health improvements.
SAN
FRANCISCO, March 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- For
many, maintaining a healthy weight is a challenging journey. While
popular, weight loss medications are not a universal solution due
to their cost and potential side effects. Dr. Laurel Mellin, a California-based health psychologist, and
New York Times bestselling author
proposes an alternative approach focused on taking charge of the
brain circuits that impact appetite, cravings, and weight gain.
"The key to optimal health lies in
understanding and modifying the brain-behavior patterns that lead
to overeating" Dr. Laurel Mellin,
PhD.
According to Dr. Mellin, the key to optimal health lies in
understanding and modifying the brain-behavior patterns that lead
to overeating. Her research suggests that overeating is linked to
brain chemistry, which can be positively altered through rewiring
the brain circuits that activate the stress chemicals that drive
overeating for enduring results, unlike the temporary effects of
some medications.
Dr. Mellin's pioneering method, Emotional Brain Training (EBT),
is based on the principle of neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to
reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. As stress
chemicals are a major driver of overeating, EBT aims to address
overeating and binge eating by switching off faulty stress circuits
to deactivate those chemicals that ramp up appetite and cravings
and activate circuits that unleash chemicals that make it easier to
eat healthy, lose weight, and keep it off.
Research has shown that the EBT method has beneficial impacts on
anxiety and depression, as stress chemicals also underpin emotional
health problems. Emerging understandings of neuroscience show that
joyous states rather than calmness are associated with optimal
biochemistry, so the goal of each use of EBT is to feel joy.
Repeatedly using the tools is designed to rewire faulty stress
circuits and promote a natural progression towards positive moods,
healthier eating habits, and lasting weight loss.
Her book, "1-2-3 JOY!" and the accompanying EBT app introduce
users to this innovative method. The app provides a guided process
to help individuals take charge of the underlying causes of their
eating habits and manage stress, potentially leading to improved
health and sustained weight loss without excessive reliance on
medications.
