Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss

Ep 305 Why you're overwhelmed with food (and how to finally feel free)


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered why you keep struggling with food, even when you know what to do? Why can you be successful in so many areas of life, yet feel stuck in an exhausting cycle of overeating, dieting, and self-criticism? If you’ve tried everything but nothing seems to stick, you're not alone.

The truth is, it’s not about willpower or food—it’s about what's happening beneath the surface. Emotional triggers, hidden trauma, and unconscious identities like “the strong one” or “the responsible one” silently drive your patterns. And when you avoid feeling what’s really there, you cling to control, diets, or food as a false sense of safety.

In this episode, Leslie reveals how to break free from that cycle—for good. She shares the emotional root causes of food struggles and introduces a new path to healing: calming the nervous system, trusting your body, and mastering emotions without relying on control. It’s not about another diet—it’s about finally coming home to yourself.

“ I can't ever know what's going to help someone unless I have a longer conversation with them. My kind of superpower is I'm able to really listen to you in a way that no one's been able to really hear you before. And consider that could be what your soul has really been asking for, for all these years that you've been trying to figure out the weight thing. And so I promise a breakthrough for you on any call that you get on with me and just know that I just absolutely love holding space for you as you're serious about learning what's in the way of your being able to master this area of your life.” - Leslie Thornton
