CRAVINGS

When we are stressed our bodies may experience cravings for comfort foods. While it’s okay to indulge in moderation it’s important to be mindful of our food choices and find healthier ways to cope with stress. TouchPoints can help you beat the craving when it’s too much for your willpower.  

BLAST

TouchPoint Solution’s wearable devices are embedded with patented BLAST (bi-lateral alternating stimulation tactile) technology. BLAST is scientifically proven to alter the body’s “fight or flight” response caused by stress. The wearables emit alternating vibrations that disengage your standard stress response (sympathetic nervous system), and shift you into the calm, logical side of your brain (parasympathetic nervous system). 

When we are stressed, our bodies release cortisol, a hormone that increases our appetite and can also stimulate the brain's reward centers. This can lead to cravings for comfort foods that are high in calories, such as chocolate, ice cream, or pizza. (Dallman, M. F., Pecoraro, N., Akana, S. F., la Fleur, S. E., Gomez, F., Houshyar, H., ... & Manalo, S.)


A triple blind placebo-controlled trial with athletes showed TouchPoints™ stabilized cortisol levels during stressful events and reduced the level of stress. (Leal-Junior, E. C., Casalechi, H. L., Machado, C. dos, Serin, A., Hageman, N. S., & Johnson, D. S., 2019) 

A LASTING SOLUTION

When using TouchPoints™ consistently to beat a craving, overtime the craving may not feel as strong and happen less frequently because of your TouchPoints™. One of the ways BLAST works is by creating new neural pathways that help modify the memories that trigger our stress response. With continued use of TouchPoints™, these new neural pathways can build overtime, progressively reducing the release of stress related hormones that contribute to craving comfort foods.  

When to use TouchPoints

Use as soon as you feel like indulging. If you still indulge, do so with TouchPoint on.


HOW to use TouchPoints

 When you have a craving, rate how strong this desire is on a scale of 1-10.

Place TouchPoints on your wrists, pockets, in socks, or simply hold them. 

Activate TouchPoints on the Medium/Yellow setting. 

Wait 30 seconds, rescale, see if the desire to indulge has reduced. Repeat until the desire is minimal. If you still indulge, do it with the TouchPoints on so your cravings will be reduced in the future for the same indulgence.
