Anisa Grantham
I describe it as a relationship with food. Food was always there in my life, through the good times, and the difficult times. Food never wanted or expected anything from me. It was just there. When people in my life let me down, disappointed me, betrayed my trust, or even made me happy and celebrated with me, I could always rely on food to pull me through, to make things better, if even for a little while.
I know today, through education and research that there is a chemical change in the brain system when we eat certain types of food. It doesn’t make me feel any less responsible for my overeating and binge eating. It just helps me to understand that there is a process and I can make a choice to eat or not eat my trigger foods.

Living A Happy Life
This is the life that I wanted. I am living the life that I prayed for. I choose to live my life on purpose and with purpose, and with my God all things are possible.

Inspiration To Many
“I was very honored Anisa Grantham shared her story with me. When I sat down in front of this lady to interview her, I knew I would share some very personal, somewhat delicate stories of me. I smiled … some parts, I laughed. Other parts I felt like crying. And, some of the time I thought she was talking about me instead of herself.
What an inspiration this woman has been to so many already in her lifetime… and what an inspiration she will be to so many more to come …”

I just felt the hand of appreciation to say this facility and the people there are awesome and do their job very well. And as in my case, if you fail at whatever you are intending to do here, it’s a serious malfunction within yourself. But one specific counselor is one of the biggest reasons I am successful today. Staying sober and now staying healthy. If you can’t get help here, than you really don’t want it
Chris Neely
Anisa is kind, understanding, and a beacon of light. She met with me when I was going through the preparations of WLS and it was comforting to know that I was conversing with someone who understood me.

Anisa is amazing! I took my daughter for evaluation for weight loss surgery. We ended up talking about everything! She is very compassionate and knowledgeable about not only weight loss, but addiction and trauma among other things. This was definitely an appointment by God.

Rincon Recovery has set a bar of excellence that others will never meet. Anisa is absolutely the best. I highly recommend her to any family in need. I would definitely travel a long way to see her!!
Allison Judge
She is very passionate about what she does. It was so easy to open up to her and for her to help me understand my relationship with food. I felt like I made a friend in the process also. Highly recommend her
Paula Bailey Higgins
She has taught me how to listen to my stomach when I am full. She taught me about what I need to re-train my brain. Bariatric surgery is just a tool in your journey to weight loss. I loved her workshop. It was educational and fun! I loved it!
