Mindful Medicine

The word hypnosis causes some people to feel uneasy, because they associate hypnosis with losing control. However, we are hypnotized everyday by media, advertising and politicians. In fact, Rena Greenberg, CEO of Wellness Seminars, Inc., describes hypnosis as a very natural state of deep relaxation and focused concentration. She equates it to the state your mind is in right before you fall asleep or wake up—where you are conscious, but incredibly relaxed. It’s in this state that the mind is most available for suggestion, making hypnosis a great tool for weight loss. Through her gastric bypass hypnosis program, Rena has helped clients lose up to 180 pounds by training the mind to make healthier choices long-term.Listen as Rena joins Dr. Holly Lucille to discuss how hypnosis can help people lose weight and form healthier habits.
