Lose Weight

Overweight and overwhelmed? Tried dieting but failed? Can’t control your cravings? Want to feel fit and good again?

With today’s diet and life style gaining weight is easy. Losing weight to stay fit, healthy and feeling good about yourself is hard. It requires discipline and motivation. We often start off with the best intentions using the latest advice, diets, and exercise regimes. But why is it so hard to keep it up? The temptation of favourite treats and craving comfort food to allay underlying needs are common reasons.

Will power alone is usually not enough. It may work for a time. Then we lapse, feel guilty, try again, and find ourselves ‘seesawing’ between dieting and feasting with no lasting benefit.

Hypnotherapy can help break the cycle by drawing on the strength of your unconscious to tackle the underlying causes of over eating or poor diet. Together we will agree a strategy to enable you to reduce your weight safely and responsibly – free from the emotional stress dieting and cravings can cause.

I will also help you appreciate the benefits of good nutrition and exercise to achieve overall wellbeing. You will feel confident in your body, more empowered to reach your desired weight and be back in control of your life again.

Gastric band hypnotherapy

Considering having a gastric band fitted? Hypnotherapy can provide an effective alternative.

In cases of morbid obesity, Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 40, or obese patients with a BMI greater than 35 with serious health issues, bariatric surgeons may advocate the fitting of a gastric band. This reduces the effective size of the stomach and physically reduces the amount of food that can be ingested. It also means that smaller amounts of food eaten trigger the release of hormones telling the brain that the person has had enough to eat. Both effects help patients reduce calorie intake.

The procedure is invasive and can be costly. There are many conditions a patient must meet and agree to. The demand on the NHS is currently higher than supply in many areas of the country leading to considerable waiting lists.

Hypnotherapy can achieve the same result without the need for surgery by changing the patient’s perception of the size of their stomach. Sound too good to be true? Maybe, but not so. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) of the UK department of Health officially recognises hypnotherapy as an effective alternative to surgery.

If you are looking for an effective alternative to bariatric surgery, talk to your doctor. With the approval of your doctor, hypnotherapy is a safe, effective, non-invasive, and economic alternative.
