Eating Disorders

  • You worry a lot about food.

  • You feel stressed or ashamed about eating.

  • You dislike how your body looks.

  • You aim for control — count calories, avoid certain foods, limit how much you eat, or throw up after eating.

  • If you eat too much or eat the wrong thing, you feel regret and blame yourself.

How does Dr. Zeus treat eating disorders?

Treatment starts where you are. First we listen to your story. You are always in control.

When you feel ready, treatment focuses on addressing the fears that underlie your eating patterns. We gently recall past experiences worrying about food and create a new experience that will rewire your nervous system, allowing you to feel calm and at ease.

Fear plays an important role in disordered eating. Ketamine therapy gets to the root of the problem by rewiring the fear.

If you feel trapped in a cycle you can’t control, with intrusive thoughts running your life, then a peptide micro-dose quiets food noise and helps you find peace.
