Appetite is an essential bodily function. It helps our body to take in the food needed for energy and growth by stimulating the release of hormones in the gut. However, while appetite is important for survival, it can work against us too, especially when we eat more calories than we need to maintain a healthy weight. We want to help you stock snacking.
As many people know, it’s often harder to resist something tempting and stop snacking. A lot of factors come into play here. Not everyone is able to control their appetite and food cravings as easily as the other one. Some people give in to their cravings more than others do. This can be due to various reasons: upbringing, environment, emotional issues and so on. Some people can control their appetite better than others because they are more motivated or otherwise trained to do so.
If you’re a person who often gives into your appetite and struggles to resist food cravings, then this blog post is for you. The good news is that with Deep TMS therapy at PsyFi TMS, we can help you stop snacking and also eliminate food addiction.
The H4-Coil – A Tool For Overcoming Snacking And Food Addiction
Snacks are a common trigger for overeating since they deliver small amounts of simple carbohydrates (sugar) quickly, which overstimulates dopamine, the pleasure hormone . According to the research by Dr. Susan Roberts from Tufts University, consuming more refined sugar increases levels of ghrelin (the hunger hormone) making us feel hungrier sooner than normal.
Dr. Oz says “When it comes to sugar, too much stimulation of this essential pleasure chemical can make you crave more and eat more.”
The H4-coil is able to reduce cravings for food by increasing seratonin levels in the brain. Seratonin is an important neurotransmitter that regulates mood and emotional state, appetite and sleep. Increased levels of serotonin result in a decrease of food intake.
The Deep TMS H4-coil works effectively on the hypothalamus – the master gland which controls all essential bodily functions: energy balance (hunger), metabolism, thirst, sleep cycle/patterns and circadian rhythms. How does it work? The functional principle is called “Neuroplasticity” – when applied with Deep TMS, the H4 coil stimulates deep-seated structures in the brain and thereby enhances neuroplasticity. By using the Deep TMS H4-coil, we are able to influence your hypothalamus for better appetite control. The first or second session will target an area called ventromedial nucleus (VMN) which is related to cravings for sweet food.
