Food addiction and binge eating symptoms can be improved without drugs or surgery using real food, real support, and virtual care.
Our new peer-reviewed study was just published:
🔗frontiersin.org/journals/psych…
💙 Like, repost, bookmark, or share this link to help spread awareness about the power of metabolic health and lifestyle changes.
🧵/ Here is what we found and why it matters. 👇
The intervention is called TOWARD:
📱 Text-based support
🌐 Online virtual care
🧠 Wellness coaching
📚 Asynchronous education
📊 Real-time biofeedback
🍳 Dietary change via TCR (Therapeutic Carbohydrate Reduction)
A real-world, fully-remote model.
Who participated?
👥 44 adults
💼 All enrolled in an employee wellness program
🩺 100% had a metabolic condition
🧠 22.7% had a mental health condition (at baseline)
Just coaching, community, and fewer than 30g of carbs per day using our TOWARD approach.
1/ 🧵 Can you reverse heart plaque?
Yes—and not just with meds.
Let’s walk through the top human trials showing how exercise, nutrition, and smart supplements can slow or even reverse plaque buildup.
A thread for your arteries… 🫀
2/ 🏃♂️ CENIT Trial (2022)
Supervised HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training)
📉 PAV shrank −1.2% per year
This isn’t casual walking—this is structured, high-effort cardio.
Result? Plaque regression.
Control group? No change.
3/ 💪 Cardiac Rehab Studies
Regular exercise improves artery function and slows plaque growth.
When combined with other therapies, it can lead to actual regression.
Movement is medicine
