Edmonton Hypnosis for Weight Loss

When and why did weight become an issue? Programming healthier options: around healthy food and portions, exercise motivation and stress management. Weight loss hypnosis programming can help with "resetting" a healthy weight mindset.

Research and Doctorate Project Findings

18 unique studies, confirmed that those who received the hypnosis lost more weight than 90% of those not receiving hypnosis AND they maintained the weight loss two years after treatment ended.

My doctorate project investigated the link between the stress hormone cortisol and weight gain. There is little doubt that the use of hypnosis can be beneficial to addressing issues that impact emotional eating and to assist the subconscious mind to create new healthier patterns around food and eating. Stress hormones tell the body to hold onto fat. This fat is often deposited in the tummy area.

You will find that a wonderful side benefit of weight loss hypnosis is the conditioning of the relaxation response. When this is programmed to occur on cue we gift ourselves with the ability to quickly move into a state that allows for healing. The state of hypnosis allows for restoration and increased physical immunity. For some, a reconnection with their initial potential and greater awareness of how spiritual and mental health impact well being is an outcome.

This must include a consideration of how the subconscious mind stores identity and manages the (auto-pilot) physiological functions in our bodies. People who are thin and healthy have developed mindsets and beliefs that support their ability to maintain a healthy weight. Most of us where not raised with healthy beliefs around food, emotions, state management or movement. However, it is never too late to begin to create new subconscious programs that will support your goal to lose weight and have a healthy body.
