“I genuinely believed I was one of those people for whom nothing would ever work. The change I experienced working with Agi was unlike anything I had encountered before — for the first time, someone explained what was actually happening in my brain. I stopped binge eating and I have not gone back.”
— Sarah K., Programme ClientWhen other people are around, you can control your cravings. When you are alone, you struggle to resist them. You’ve taken that as proof you are weak, helpless, or different from everyone else. None of that is true.
The people who come to me are capable in every other part of their lives. Educated, often successful, running teams and making hard decisions all day, and still unable to manage what they eat once they’re alone. They’ve tried what looks like everything: all sorts of diets, fasting, fitness regimes, therapy, hypnosis, mindfulness, personal trainers. They know more about food and uncontrolled eating than most of the people who promised to help them, and all of it still wasn’t enough to make it stop. You’ve probably got all the information yourself. You could likely teach it. And when the craving comes you still fall for it, against everything you know.
I remember how cruel that felt when I was a binge eater. The only conclusion I could reach was that I was the one to blame, that something was wrong with me. There wasn’t. There’s a powerful, clever system at work that you probably sense but can’t quite see, and people find it truly liberating to finally see it for what it is.
About me
I’m Agi Power. For over two decades I was stuck in the cycle myself, trying every plan, blaming myself every time it failed, convinced I was the problem. But there was nothing wrong with me, it was my brain’s ancient wiring doing its job. Once I saw that, dismissing my cravings became natural — something I’d never believed was possible.
What changed in me was big enough that I wanted to help other people get to the same place. So I went back to university to study psychology. I have a BSc in Psychology in Practice from the University of London. I have also written a book, Stop Binge Eating — Even If Nothing Else Worked and work with people one to one in my own practice.
All this gives me a rare set of skills: lived experience, university knowledge of the human brain and psychology, and years of experience working with clients just like you and me. This combination is unusual in the field.
If you’ve tried other practitioners, you might have come across gaps in their methods. I’m confident I can fill those gaps and show you that it wasn’t your fault those methods didn’t work, and why. And I’m confident my approach will show you things you haven’t seen before.
It’s not your fault you haven’t got control of your eating. Mainstream advice aims at the wrong target. It treats the urge to overeat as something to resist with more discipline, when the urge comes from a part of the brain that doesn’t answer to willpower. That’s the real reason willpower has never been enough.
Once you understand what that part of the brain is doing, it loses its hold on you. And you don’t have to force it, it happens by recognising it in real time and building authority over it.
On the other side
What most clients describe isn’t a dramatic new relationship with food. It’s the absence of the old one. The voice that used to negotiate with you stops showing up. The constant background calculation — what you ate, what you shouldn’t have, what you’ll allow tomorrow — goes quiet, and in its place is something you may not have felt in years: the ability to think about something else.
Food becomes something you enjoy, at the table, with other people. And the weight, if there was weight to lose, tends to come off on its own because the reasons for it being there have stopped operating.
“I just wanted to update you on a few things. I have had a beautiful baby boy this week. Very happy and healthy. I had continued joint pain all the way through the pregnancy which got worse and worse but eating has continued to go well. I am still making healthy choices every day. I haven’t eaten bread at all and don’t have foods with lots of sugar. Haven’t ever craved it. Feel comfortable and in control of my food for the first time ever. Thanks so much.”
— Amy, Programme ClientBefore you decide
Most binge eaters track what they eat. Almost none track what it’s been costing them. Takeaways, deliveries, programmes that didn’t work, gym memberships that stopped getting used — the total adds up quietly, for years.
