Globally, the World Health organization estimates that 1 in 8 people are living with obesity and this trend continues to increase over time. Obesity can lead to many other health problems such as poor mobility, increased risk of type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke and certain types of cancers.
Weight management involves practices aimed at achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight but can also encompass a wider range of issues such as problems associated with being underweight, difficulties keeping weight loss off following dieting, body image issues, food addictions and eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and binge eating.
Hypnotherapy for weight loss and BWRT can help address all of these issues.
Obesity is generally caused by poor diet such as overeating the wrong types of food and lack of exercise. Obesity rates have increased over recent years due to people consuming large amounts of processed foods containing high levels of fat and sugars. Alcohol misuse can also cause significant weight gain. For some people, genetics play a role due to differences in how food is changed into energy and stored as fat.
Chronic stress can lead to the release of cortisol, a hormone which increases appetite and leads to fat storage, particularly around the abdomen. Certain medications and underlying health conditions can significantly impact on weight levels and metabolism so it is important to speak to your general practitioner, before contemplating any major changes to your lifestyle to make sure these changes are safe and appropriate for you.
Research suggests eating disorders are becoming more common but this is a complex issue and related to many different factors such as trauma, anxiety and depression, dysfunctional family dynamics, genetics, societal pressure and social media.
The weight loss industry is worth millions of pounds offering weekly clubs for weight watchers and selling various weight loss products. Yet sadly, many diets do not work due to their restrictive nature, unsustainable practices and their potential to create unhealthy relationships with food. Consequently, this can lead to metabolic slowdown, increased cravings and an increased risk of disordered eating problems.
Diets unfortunately do not address the underlying reasons why people are overweight. Many diets solely focus on limiting certain foods without dealing with the underlying reasons that lead to weight gain such as emotional eating, stress and lack of sleep. Many diets also lack a personalised approach, using a one size fits all approach that neglects the needs and preferences of the individual.
The good news is clinical hypnotherapy and BWRT offers an alternative and more sustainable long-term approach to achieving weight loss and keeping the weight off.
• Solution focused hypnotherapy is an evidence-based approach to weight management, supported by many years of neuroscience research. It works by helping individuals to make small, sustainable, long-term changes to your lifestyle to help you reach your weight goals.
• Clinical hypnotherapy sessions are tailored towards your individual needs and goals rather than a one size fits all approach.
• Clinical hypnotherapy works by changing your relationship with food and helping you to manage stress, anxiety and low mood more effectively.
• Optional gastric band hypnotherapy sessions are available. This includes a free mp3 recording to listen to at home.
• BWRT involves targeting the triggers behind eating habits that are linked to weight problems such as stress, anxiety and low mood (comfort eating). BWRT helps individuals to regain control over their food choices and create healthier eating patterns.
• Hypnosis and BWRT helps with body image and eating disorder behaviours through addressing underlying issues such as poor self-esteem and dealing with triggers such as anxiety and stress.
