Raise Your Hand if You think it is Alarming That:
Obesity has reached epidemic levels and according to Government of Canada statistics: “In Canada, almost 2 in 3 adults and 1 in 3 children and youth are overweight or living with obesity. Obesity increases the risk for several chronic diseases including diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer.”
More than 90% of Diets FAIL over the long-term
There is not enough long-term clinical data to confirm if pharmaceutical weight loss options are SAFE
If you don’t address the psychological reasons behind food addictions, overeating, lack of motivation & habits, you’re likely going to struggle
That’s why it is critical to address this epidemic and take a holistic approach that delivers results. That is the reason I am committed to helping clients unroot the cause of why they have excess weight, food addictions and an unhealthy relationship with food and their bodies as a Clinical hypnotherapy and Rapid Transformational Therapist®.
I have medical practitioners, and a few skeptical and frustrated potential clients ask me:
“Does it work? How can it really work?”
The proof is in the pudding (pun intended) as attested by numerous client testimonials and my experience with client that informed the creation of the Kick Start Natural Weight Loss in 30 Days program.
For the skeptics out there, and for those who are absolutely frustrated by failed attempts to shed weight and “tried everything”, I have compiled 5 Notable Scientific Studies, with a summary and links on the efficacy of Hypnotherapy for weight loss.
"The Use of Audio Self-Hypnosis to Promote Weight Loss Using the Transtheoretical Model"
Summary: This randomized, double-blind trial assessed the impact of audio self-hypnosis on weight loss and stages of change in participants. The study found no statistically significant effect on weight loss after three weeks. Participants in the hypnosis group were more likely to follow a weight loss plan, but the difference was not statistically significant. The authors suggest that further research with larger sample sizes is needed.
2. "Effects of Hypnotherapy on Weight Loss and Serum Leptin, Adiponectin, and Irisin Levels in Obese Patients"
Summary: This study investigated the effects of hypnotherapy on weight loss and serum levels of leptin, adiponectin, and irisin in obese patients. The results indicated significant reductions in body mass index (BMI) and serum leptin levels, along with increases in serum adiponectin and irisin levels after a 10-week hypnotherapy program. The authors conclude that hypnotherapy is an effective, non-invasive, and cost-effective treatment for obesity.
3. "Does Hypnosis Result in Greater Weight Loss Compared to Conventional Approaches?"
Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy of hypnosis in weight loss compared to conventional methods. Among the eight randomized controlled trials included, six documented significant weight loss among participants in the hypnosis condition. The authors suggest that hypnosis can be an effective adjunct to traditional weight loss interventions.
4. "Hypnosis Significantly Improves Weight Loss Efforts"
Summary: This article discusses recent research indicating that hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis can lead to significant reductions in caloric intake and weight loss in patients with obesity. The authors recommend incorporating hypnotherapy as an adjunct to conventional weight loss strategies.
5. "Meta-Analytic Evidence on the Efficacy of Hypnosis for Mental and Psychosomatic Disorders"
Summary: This meta-analysis examined the efficacy of hypnosis for various mental and psychosomatic disorders, including obesity. The results showed significant, large effects for weight loss at post-treatment and follow-up when hypnosis was combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). The authors conclude that hypnosis is an effective intervention for weight loss, especially when combined with CBT.
Conclusion
These studies suggest that hypnotherapy can be a valuable adjunct to traditional weight loss methods, potentially enhancing weight loss outcomes and influencing related physiological factors. And, I’ve seen many clients achieve outstanding results.
This program works—there are multiple testimonials on the website, but here’s what one of our clients said: "I changed absolutely nothing from my previous attempts at losing weight aside from using this method. Nothing! But I made physical progress.” A.V.
Healthy nutrition, healthy movement, the absence of other major diseases or mental health issues are all needed for weight loss. We are complex human beings and a holistic approach with multiple modalities can help people finally achieve a sustained healthy weight and more vitality.
