Empower Patients to Decode Medical Decisions  with Dr Justin Perron

Losing weight is tough for many aiming to be healthier. But guess what? Hypnotherapy has stepped into the ring as a cool and interesting player among all the methods out there.

In this episode, Glenn Mackintosh, a psychologist and hypnotherapist, explores the transformative power of hypnotherapy in weight loss. Glenn explains that it's not magic or brainwashing but a guided process into a receptive state of awareness. Glenn points out how hypnotherapy shares common principles with advertising, social media, and movies in influencing our thoughts and behaviours. 

He talks about the surprising effectiveness of incorporating hypnotherapy into cognitive behaviour therapy, resulting in substantial and long-lasting weight loss. He distinguishes between exploratory hypnotherapy, which addresses underlying issues, and suggestive hypnotherapy, focused on positive changes. 

Glenn advocates for a holistic approach by combining hypnotherapy with a non-diet perspective, encouraging the uncovering and addressing of stored beliefs formed in past experiences. Non-restrictive approaches such as intuitive eating, joyful movement, and self-love for better and lasting results, avoiding harmful dieting mindsets.

Glenn introduced his innovative 90-Day TRANCEformation program, which seamlessly integrates hypnotherapy with binaural beats for daily, gradual transformation in just 15 minutes. He emphasizes the program's adaptability to individual interpretation and assimilation of suggestions. He also discusses the benefits of binaural tones in inducing a hypnotic state and increasing hypnotizability.

Discover the power of hypnotherapy, explore how it can transform your mind, and find out how personalized approaches can bring about positive, long-lasting changes.

Episode Highlights:
Effectiveness of hypnotherapy in weight loss
Role of unconscious mind and types of hypnotherapy
Exploratory hypnotherapy
Suggestive hypnotherapy 
Combining hypnotherapy with a non-diet approach
