In this episode of The Holistic GLP-1 Podcast, we delve into the fascinating intersection between hypnosis, mindset and GLP-1 technology with our guest Rita Black.

Rita is a renowned hypnotherapist and cognitive coach who has spent nearly two decades helping people rewire their subconscious minds to break free from the patterns that keep them stuck.

Together we explore why so many people unknowingly sabotage their weight-loss journeys, the three hidden traps of the subconscious that can derail success, and how to transform the inner critic into an inner coach.

We also talk about the power of identity shifts, quieting food noise, and how GLP-1s can serve as a unique window of opportunity for lasting change.

Get ready—this is a conversation packed with insight and practical tools that can truly reshape the way you approach weight release.
