Beyond the Jab

Beyond the Jab is a phrase that highlights a crucial aspect often overlooked in medically assisted weight loss. The fear of being on medication for life or regaining weight is valid, and the reason frequently lies in unaddressed root causes.

Weight loss injections and medications can be effective tools, but they primarily address the physical aspects of eating and metabolism. They don't magically solve the underlying emotional, psychological, or behavioral reasons why we eat.

This leads to a phenomenon where people manage to achieve weight loss through these external means, but when they stop or even while they're on them, they struggle with self-destructive habits. When the jab isn't solving the source of the emotional distress, individuals may resort to other harmful coping mechanisms, like excessive exercise, dynamic food restriction, or even turning to different substances or self-harming behaviors.

Beyond the jab means recognizing that sustainable health and well-being require a holistic approach. It's not just about the numbers on the scale. Instead, it's about addressing the emotional roots, building healthy coping skills, and cultivating a truly nourishing relationship with food and ourselves.

When people come to see me about anxiety, they often forget about the effects of the "quick-fix" pill. If you have anxiety which is caused by the fear of losing control, give me a shout. Hypnosis goes deep to the root. No quick fixes. Just a retraining the mind to be more loving to ourselves.
