If you’re looking to lose weight, you may have tried every diet and exercise program out there. But what if there was a way to lose weight without having to change your diet or spend hours at the gym? Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a new, non-invasive treatment that can help you lose weight and keep it off.

In a previous blog, we mentioned that the TMS H4-Coil provides deep brain stimulation with high spatial selectivity to stimulate the area of the prefrontal cortex associated with appetite control and craving reduction. After successful treatment with the Brainsway H4-Coil, patients reported feeling less preoccupied with food and had reduced cravings.

Let’s break that down into simpler terms. The prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain responsible for executive functioning, which includes things like planning, decision-making, and impulse control. So by stimulating this area of the brain with TMS, we can help people to make better decisions about food and curb those unwanted cravings.

Furthermore, TMS has been shown to increase levels of serotonin and noradrenaline in the brain. These are two neurotransmitters that play a role in regulating mood and appetite. So not only can TMS help reduce cravings, but it can also improve your mood, making it easier to stick to your diet and exercise plan.

But what are some of the specific benefits of TMS for weight loss?

1. TMS is non-invasive: There are no surgery or injections required with TMS. The treatment is completely non-invasive and can be done in the comfort of our office.

2. TMS is FDA-cleared: TMS is an FDA-cleared treatment for depression, and the weight loss potential of TMS is currently being investigated in clinical trials.

3. TMS has no side effects: Unlike many weight loss treatments, TMS has no reported side effects. This means that you can lose weight without having to worry about any adverse effects.

At PsyFi TMS, we offer the Brainsway Deep TMS system, which is FDA-cleared for the treatment of depression, PTSD, OCD, and smoking cessation, as well as addictions such alcohol dependence and food addiction.
