The approach
Built on what
actually works.
proof. is built on the mechanisms that actually change eating disorder behaviors — not affirmations, not rules, not numbers.
Exposure & Response Prevention
The gold standard for anxiety-driven restriction. proof. operationalises ERP by logging distress before, during, and after every meal — creating repeated evidence that the feared outcome does not occur.
Cognitive Defusion (ACT)
Eating disorder thoughts are treated as objects to observe, not truths to obey. The Thought Defusion tool guides patients through defusion techniques from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy.
Interoceptive Awareness
Moment check-ins build the capacity to notice physical sensations, name them accurately, and tolerate them without behavioural response.
How emotion awareness changes behavior
Most ED behaviors function as emotion regulation. proof. builds an alternative — naming, logging, and watching the distress wave peak and fall without acting on it.
Why food content tracking is off by default
Food logging can reinforce the hyper-monitoring patterns central to eating disorders. proof. logs meal type only. Food content tracking can only be enabled by a clinician.
