Psychonutrition

CEGAS

A comprehensive approach to emotions and eating behavior.

Psychonutrition is the science that connects what we think and feel with the way we eat. At CEGAS, this service combines nutritional counseling with psychological tools to help you identify anxiety triggers, heal your relationship with food, and alleviate gastric symptoms caused by stress.

It is ideal for individuals experiencing "emotional eating" (eating due to boredom, sadness, or anxiety), those with a history of restrictive diets that cause guilt, or patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) whose symptoms worsen significantly under stress.

The gut and the brain are directly connected through the nervous system. Stress, anxiety, and unmanaged emotions alter the gut microbiota, causing inflammation, pain, gas, and changes in bowel movements, even when following a healthy diet.

In this consultation, no restrictions are imposed. We teach you mindful eating techniques (mindful eating), stress management, and emotional regulation, allowing you to eat in peace, significantly improve your digestion, and achieve a healthy weight without struggling with food.

It's incredible that such an advanced study as a capsule endoscopy can be done so simply. I didn't feel a thing, and the diagnosis was precise. A great technological option in Panama.

I took my father for his follow-up colonoscopy. We were nervous, but the professionalism of the doctors gave us a lot of confidence. Without a doubt, the best gastroenterology center.
