“Hypnosis does not change people nor does it alter their past experiential life. It serves to permit them to learn more about themselves and to express themselves more adequately.” Erickson (1948-1980)

“Hypnosis techniques put you in charge of your natural ability to enter trance. Hypnosis is a skill, like reading or writing, that anyone can easily learn.”    
Shelly Stockwell-Nicholas

“Weight was associated with the onset of chronic diseases. Overweight or obese men who were tracked over the four years between 1994/95 and 1998/99 had high odds of being diagnosed with arthritis, heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes in that period, compared with men who were not overweight or obese. Similarly, the odds were high that overweight or obese women would be diagnosed with arthritis, high blood pressure, migraine or asthma in that time than would women who were not overweight or obese.     The Daily – Statistics Canada.  Thurs.

Overweight and obesity, and in particular, high levels of abdominal adiposity, are related to an increased risk for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular disease, and cancer 4,5 <http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/22317.html#4> . Recent analyses of U.S. population data have shown that obesity and overweight in adulthood are associated with large decreases in life expectancy with increases in early mortality similar to those seen with smoking <http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/22317.html#6> . The total direct and indirect cost of obesity in Canada were estimated to be $4.3 billion in 2017. Strong evidence indicates that loss of body weight by as little as a 5-10% reduces many of the health risks associated with adult obesity <http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/22317.html#8> .
