Felicity Tsikiwa Portrait

“How do you treat the mind without ignoring the body that holds it?”

Forthcoming Book

CHEMISTRY NOT CHARACTER

A book about the neurobiology of binge eating disorder.

Written for the high-functioning adult who has tried everything and been told the failure was hers. Reward dysregulation, executive function deficits, emotion regulation gaps, overcontrolled restraint. The chemistry the literature has known about for years and the clinic has been slow to name.

Twenty years of watching this disorder unfold from the inside and the outside. A book to put the language of modern neuroscience directly into the reader's hands. It is not a collapse of willpower; it is a nervous system begging for regulation. Healing cannot happen in an environment constructed entirely out of shame.

A Message From Felicity

The clarity ends the shame.

Binge eating is the most common eating disorder in the United States, impacting more individuals than anorexia and bulimia combined. Yet for decades, we have treated it as a failure of willpower. Recent neuroscience has finally handed us a different map.

We now understand that binge eating frequently takes root in the complex soil of neurodiversity. Whether you are a provider seeking a modern framework, or an individual exhausted by trying to out-willpower your own nervous system, the starting line is the same. My work bridges the gap between the hard data providers need and the profound relief patients deserve.

Speaking

I speak to rooms where clinical credibility and lived experience both matter. Practitioners and healthcare leaders ready to learn what binge eating disorder has been hiding for decades.
