Anorexia: Rewiring Hunger: Using Neurofeedback to Restore Appetite
What if your brain could relearn hunger, and the desire to eat could gently return?
In Rewiring Hunger – Using Neurofeedback to Restore Appetite, cutting-edge neuroscience meets lived experience. This book takes you inside the brain of someone with anorexia nervosa, revealing how signals of hunger, reward, and motivation can become muted or distorted, and how neurofeedback, using real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), may help the brain learn again.
Drawing on scientific research, clinical insight, and reflective storytelling, this book explores anorexia not as a failure of willpower, but as a learned pattern within the brain; one that can be carefully retuned.
