Healthy Eating with Hypnosis Explored in NY Post


Hypnosis is a tool to help a person make healthier eating choices.  (


In June the New York Post published an interesting article entitled The Newest Dieting Trend Includes Hypnosis.  Yes, Really.

I wanted to share the article on this blog for two reasons:

1. Making healthier eating choices is one of the top three requests I receive from people who are interested in the practice of self-hypnosis.  (FYI, sleeping better at night and managing stress are the other two.)

2. The author does a nice job of setting realistic expectations about what hypnosis is and how it can help a person achieve meaningful outcomes.  Yet, it’s not magic and – like all things in life worth achieving – takes commitment and effort.

Here is a good quote from the story: 


Positive self-talk can help guide you toward making more healthy choices. But expecting that you can do a 180 on your lifelong eating habits within a matter of minutes is unrealistic and will probably set you up for disappointment.
