Weight control with hypnosis in West London - Hillingdon and Ealing. Featuring HYPNOTIC GASTRIC BAND therapy - as featured on Channel 4'Embarrassing Fat Bodies ( June 6, 2011 ). Gain the body you desire.
The first question we get asked is "Does it actually work?" So please have a look at our testimonials on the testimonial link.
Most of us exercise less as we get older, which can lead to a rise in cholesterol levels. Our metabolic rate tends to slow down with age too - but the slow down here can also be to do with stress. But whatever your age, we can control the stress and you can make lifestyle changes to help with weight control. Weight loss will be easier to acheive with hypnotherapy training and support. Hypnosis can actually help you to lose weight in your sleep.
The techniques we use will convince your subconscious mind that you have had a physical workout overnight, and respond accordingly. We can speed up your metabolic rate to burn calories faster.
Matthew uses cutting edge models, in Thought Field Therapy, NLP and Hypnotherapy, to provide you with the tools to lose weight, and keep it off. Changes take place not only on a mental level, but also at a far deeper cellular level, creating physical body change.
Our minds are very happy to accept positive suggestions, and we use hypnosis to create positive suggestions and alter thoughts feelings and behaviours. By altering these we can create positive habits. - to change lifestyle.
Gastric band hypnosis
Most people know about Gastric Bands. The surgical operation involves a band being fitted around the stomach and inflated so that the stomach capacity is greatly reduced. These will limit the amount of food that the body will hold.
Gastric bands alter appetite signals in the body reducing hunger. The level of ghrelin - the hormone which makes one feel hungry - drops.
With Gastric Band Hypnosis imagination and visualisation is used to change responses in the mind, leading to changes in behaviour.The visualisation works because the subconscious mind takes on what is imagined as real - the body will begin acting in a way that guides one towards that direction..
It is possible to convince the subconscious mind that a gastric band has been fitted, we can help you to develop a hypnotic gastric band - so that you can control your weight without surgery. The hypnotist will put them into hypnotic trance and will take them through the gastric band procedure as if it was actually taking place. The subconscious mind accepts it as real - but there is no operation, scalpels or anaesthetic - and no risk.
People who have had surgery feel nauseous if they eat too much food or the wrong types of food, those who have gastric band hypnotherapy can experience this too. What we see in our inner mind we can experience as real. This process was featured on Channel 4's Embarassing Fat Bodies on June 6 2011 - available to watch on 4 0n demand.
The Daily Mail reprted, in May 2009, that a woman had lost four stones with hypno gastric band treatment.
In April 2010, the mail reported that a woman had lost 6 stones with this method.
In July 2010 The Daily Mail reported on a woman who had lost 5 stones with hypnotic gastric band therapy, shrinking from dress size 18 to size 8.
In November 2011 The Daily Mail reports on a woman who has lost 5.5 stone in three months since having the hypnotic gastric band treatment. She is reported to have gone down four dress sizes since September.
In December 2011 The Daily Mail reports on a woman who has lost 8 stone throgh gastric band hypnosis. they credit hypnotherapist Andrew Nelson, who has trained Matthew in the past.
Evidence has been reported, in the 2010 conference for Metabolic and Bariatic Surgery, suggesting that the surgery leads to other physical problems. John Morgan, of the Yorkshire Centre for Eating Disorders, suggests that psychological problems may arise too - swapping one problem for another in addictive behaviour. You can have weight loss without the pain of surgery - phone
Gastric band hypnosis has a number of major advantages over surgery -
* It carries a lower level of risk to the patient than an operation; there is no anaesthesia,
* It is painless; there is no cutting, or recovery period,
* It costs less than a private operation;
* It is available to a wider range of people than the clinically obese - there is no prioritorising or waiting list.
The struggle;
To keep ourselves trim and fit, to make ourselves attactive, to feel good about ourselves, to feel more energetic, to feel more confident - might seem a continous struggle to many. We all want to be healthy, feel and look good, and hypnosis can help here.
Research at the Laiko hospital in Athens shows that wolfing down food stops the brain knowing when you're full up through stopping the hormone that tells us to stop, so 'eating on the go' is a major concern for weight control. Hypnosis aims to control this.
You might think that the most obvious answers are, of course, to eat less and exercise more. If you burn off more calories than you eat, you will lose weight. Of course hypnotherapy does not want to dispute this. Regular exercise helps you to build more muscle, and with more muscle yuou increase your metabolic rate. But hypnotherapy can actually replicate this and cause the mind to start burning fat faster.
If this doesn't work then many people will try a diet. Diets can be effective for some, but often fail because they are short term and do not change attitudes towards food. They place emphasis on food , when it is really attitudes towards food that need changing .They are a temporary response, when what we seek is a change in habits that is automatic - so that we don't even have to think about it.
If we can change associations and relationship to food we may stop their sabotage of cravings.
Cravings
Cravings are often linked not with hunger, but with tiredness or emotions - such as stress, being bored or depression. There may be a reward system going on - "If I get through this I can have a cake" and hypnotherapy can help unearth the cause, tackle, and change it.
Crash diets may lead to some initial weight loss, but often are followed by putting it on again. What most diets do is produce some kind of magic, some made up theory that encourages you to eat less by restricting the type of food you eat. Inevitably you will lose weight.
The big problem is that if you don't follow that diet forever then you will put that weight back on. The key to long term healthy weight control lies in changing the way you think and respond to food leading to a permanent lifestyle change.
When people are motivated to become slim, healthy and attractive, then they can easily control their weight. Phone
Chocolate
Chocolate is claimed to have many benefits - it contains serotonin, propmoting feelings of calm, phenylethylamine, the so called love chemical, which people may turn to when they are in need of romantic love, and endorphins - which can relieve pain, reduce stress, and reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer . Also it contains antioxidents that protect the lining of the arteries and lower the blood pressure. Even thinking about chocolate can make us feel better.
But chocolate is definitely bad for us in quantity. It does contain high levels of theobromine, which is a great mood enhancer, a powerful stimulant of the central nervous system. But theobromine poisoning can cause heart failure, seizures, acute kidney damage. And chocolate can, of course, lead to weight gain.
Matthew uses an NLP technique called Compulsion Blowout in order to help people create an aversion to things they want to give up.
Junk food
Research at the Weizmann Institute, in Israel, published a paper in May 2010, suggesting that the stress of modern living could be making us eat more sugary and fatty foods. The anxiety gene, when switched on , not only causes stress, but also pushes us towards comfort foods. But this means fat and bad cholesterol, blocked arteries and heart disease.
The National Institute for health and Clinical Excellence( NICE) suggested in June 2010 that as many as 40, 000 people are killed a year through junk food.
Hypnotherapy can help create an aversion to comfort foods, aswell as tackling stress and anxiety. Hypnosis will fill you with confidence so that there is no emotional void to fill with food.
Sleep
Getting less than six to eight hours sleep a night can increase levels of leptin, the hormone that tells you when you are full, and increase levels of cortisol, the fat storing hormone. This may lead to cravings for sweet carbohydrates that end up getting stored as fat.
Researchers at Portloand, USA, at Kaiser Permanente, found that weight loss of at least 10 pounds was easier to manage on between six and eight hours sleep a night. This has been reported in The International Journal of Obesity, in research on both sleep and stress levels, in March 2011. It shows that the internal control of the two hormones leptin and ghrelin is better with good sleep. Therefore we won't need to eat so much because we won't feel so empty when we wake.
Effective hypnosis can lower stress levels and restore good sleeping patterns.
How can hypnosis help?
Plaese do realise that this is not hocus pocus. We are not offering empty promises based on some mumbo jumbo. This is based in sciencific research on the power of the subconscious mind. We are told, by scientists, that ninety per cent of the mind's power is not generally accessed. Using hypnotherapy we can access the subconscious mind, and give direct instructions for change.
We can't promise to give you a perfect body, but you can acheive remarkable results through following a regular programme. This should probably be done alongside an exercise programme, which will compliment a change in eating habits. Hypnosis cannot "make" you change, but it can help with changing thoughts, actions and feelings that will help with behaviour and habit change.
Research on hyperpalatable foods - those we find hard to resist - suggests that it is like a drug. the neurotransmitter dopamine is released, which will take people to a bliss point. Hypnotherapy can help people to release internal endorphins, releasing the need for gorging on these.
Through hypnosis we contact the subconscious - that part of the mind that contains 90% of the brain's power. We can help people to think and eat like slim people by reprogramming the subconscious mind. This is not about mind control, because everything is done through agreement with the client. We can encourage people to believe that they have exercised in their sleep, and change their attitudes towards actual exercising. Aerobic exercise will boost setrotonin levels, improve mood and suppress appetite.
Clients find that they can lose weight, and keep it off long term, because they change their whole relationship with food, both mentally and physically. It doesn't happen overnight, we like to work with people over a period of six weeks.
With daily recordings to listen to between sessions, as long as they stick to the programme, we always find that clients lose weight.
Hypnosis will help them to access the motivation to exercise too. Changing the way you think about yourself and how you use food is an effective way of acheiving the body and shape that you want .
NLP techniques are used to create an aversion to the fattening foods that you no longer want. There are some contraindications - such as medical conditions that keep weight up, so the results cannot be guaranteed here.
How does Thought Field Thera
py help?
TFT is a meridian therapy - based on an ancient Chinese idea that there is a flow of energy running through the body, and that through manipulating energy points we can unblock anything that is stopping that flow - so that we can help to end the anxieties that cause comfort eating, and either eliminate or control cravings. TFT uses tapping sequences on the meridian points to remove blocks in the flow of energy throughout the body.
Matthew will employ TFT before his hypnosis session, making the session far more powerful. As you will see in the testimonial section, Matthew can help you to end chocolate craving. Phone
Not just for nuts
Orlando Bloom gave up a childhood addiction to chocolate with hypnosis.
Smoking
If you smoke to control your weight, and fear that by stopping you will put on more, we can control this through our smoking programme, so that you won't swap one problem for another.
