At the Center for Healthy Eating and Activity Research (CHEAR), we recognize the profound uniqueness and inherent worth of each individual. We understand that eating behaviors are influenced by a complex interplay of thoughts, emotions, and physiological responses to food. These factors can affect one’s well-being independently or in combination, which is why our approach is as dynamic and multifaceted as the challenges our participants face.

Holistic and Innovative Approaches to Well-being

Our research and treatment programs extend well beyond traditional weight loss and diet-focused paradigms. At CHEAR, we employ innovative methods that target the neurobiological responses to food—how the brain reacts to what we eat—as well as other cognitive strategies that enhance the effectiveness of our interventions. This comprehensive approach ensures that our programs not only promote physical health but also bolster emotional and psychological resilience.

Empowering Participants Towards a Healthier Life

We are committed to fostering an environment where individuals are empowered to become the best versions of themselves. By focusing on the whole person, not just the numbers on a scale, CHEAR aims to support each participant in their journey towards a balanced and healthy life. It’s about embracing and engaging fully with life’s possibilities, equipped with the tools for sustainable well-being.
