When it comes to losing weight, one of the biggest challenges stress eaters face is yo-yo dieting, says East Brunswick chiropractor Dr. Freedman. Even when stress eaters are on a diet, emotional triggers can send them back to comfort foods.As a result, dieting can feel like a rollercoaster with no clear path forward.
“High sensitivity to emotional triggers can lead to stress eating, which makes it difficult to stick to a healthy diet,” said Dr. Freedman.“All it takes is a disagreement with a spouse or a stressful work deadline to send emotional eaters straight to their comfort foods. Unfortunately, these foods are often high in fat and sugar, which can quickly lead to weight gain and undo any weight loss success. In order to successfully lose weight, emotional eaters must address their triggers for weight gain.”
Dr. Freedman says his patients have had great success using Reiki for identifying and managing emotional eating habits.
“Reiki works by reducing energy blockages that impair an individual’s ability to remain calm and focused under stress,” said Dr. Freedman.“Our certified Reiki master, Heidi Scanlon, finds that integrating Reiki with the ChiroTHIN weight loss program helps patients stay disciplined about healthy eating and maintain their weight loss, no matter how stressful their lives may be.The key is to address the emotional triggers around food binges and stop this unhealthy cycle.”

“Our goal with Reiki and ChiroTHIN is to empower patients to live their best lives,” said Dr. Freedman.
