THE BUZZ Hypnosis for Weight Reduction
lthough being overweight or obese is affected by genetics and physical inactivity, the problem of excessive weight largely stems from overeating and/or eating the wrong kinds of foods, particularly processed foods, sugar and excess salt that creates water retention and infl ammation. Overeating can be used as an attempt to manage uncomfortable emotions such as anger, anxiety, boredom, loneliness, and even depression. Sometimes a sweet "treat" is used as a reward, which may lead to habits that pack on the pounds. Snacking in between meals and "mindless eating" while watching TV also contributes to excessive weight.
A Hypnosis can help people change their eating behaviors, and has
proven to be an effective approach for weight reduction. In a standard hypnosis session, the hypnotist will interview the client and assess the specifi c behaviors that are problematic for the individual. The hypnotist will then induce the client into a hypnotic state and make suggestions to the individual to activate new behaviors to replace the problematic behaviors. Changing behaviors requires changing thoughts. Through hypnosis, the client learns to think differently in ways that help them make better eating choices. For example, some people eat something off of their “approved foods” list and then say, “Oh well, I made a mistake so I might as well go all the way and eat all of the cookies, or all of the ice cream.” Now imagine that instead you thought of a tray of glasses, for example, and you accidently dropped one glass and broke it. Would you then decide that because you had broken one glass you might as well smash all the rest of the glasses? Of course not. You learn to re-frame the "slip" into just what it is, a mistake, a slip, and let it go.
Hypnosis is not a cure-all, however, it is one of the best and often one of the last resorts for transformation and healing. Through hypnosis, individuals can discover and address the root causes of their struggles with weight and eating behaviors. Hypnosis helps clients learn strategies for self-control, which leads to weight change, increased self-confi dence, and relief for people who have lost hope of ever achieving inner peace with their bodies and their lives.

Try Acupuncture for the New Year
of clinical training. Matt interned at a TCM integrative hospital in Chengdu, China, under guidance of some of China’s most esteemed TCM practitioners. He opened Sea Change Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine in 2007 and continues to practice acupuncture at CT Family Acupuncture today. CT Family acupuncture is a TCM clinic specializing specifi cally in acupuncture. They also offer herbal med- icine, cupping therapy, chiropractic care, and naturopathic care.
M
TCM is a complete healthcare system, which spans 3,000 years and continues to develop to this day. Unlike many TCM practitioners, Matt uses a variety of these TCM modalities and philosophies while practicing. Patients relax on infrared heated, OM Jade Therapy mats, which increase circulation and induce relaxation. Following a free, 20 minute consultation, Matt tailors treatments specifi cally to each patient’s needs and lifestyle, so to provide an effective, yet practi- cal care plan. Matt next applies acupuncture using special needles, which stimulates the anti-infl ammatory response and increases circu- lation to tissues, muscles, joints, and organs. In response, endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine, are released, which stimulates the para- sympathetic nervous response. This returns the body to homeostasis and optimizes the immune system, allowing the body to heal itself. Research shows acupuncture may relieve symptoms from headaches, migraines, mood disorders, fi bromyalgia, Lyme disease, fatigue, menopause, sleeplessness, digestive problems, allergies, and/or men- strual cramps. In many cases, this negates the need for pharmaceuti- cals or surgery. CT Family acupuncture strives to bring these benefi ts to as many people as possible by working with insurance companies to provide exceptional care at a reasonable cost.
