We often look up to leaders as examples of success and discipline. However, despite their success in other areas, many leaders struggle with a common issue: weight management. It can be surprising to see individuals with so much control over their professional lives struggle with something as seemingly straightforward as maintaining a healthy weight and getting away from food obsession. In this second episode, we will explore some of the reasons why leaders may struggle with weight and body issues and offer some tips on how to prioritize health and wellness in a busy and demanding role. "For those of us who have been weight obsessed our entire lives, we need to know that the answer for us is not to focus on nutrition and being perfect with your diet. The answer is to actually get more in touch with your feelings and learn how to move through and feel past your really hard and challenging emotions." - Leslie Thornton  What you will learn from this episode: 03:05 - The vicious cycle of a diet mentality 07:49 - What makes you continue eating even if it makes you feel bad about it 12:01 - Why the process of gaining the weight back is so painful [it works until it doesn't anymore 13:39 - How to get past this cycle of negativity and numbing our pain with food 17:02 - The way out of food addiction is connection [ the need to acknowledge your feelings and feel it] 23:36 - Why do leaders deal more significantly with food and body weight issues? 27:49 - How much are you willing to endure anymore of this?

Ep 245 How to Stay Consistent and on Track with your Eating

It's easy to be tempted with the allure of fast weight loss and the enticing thought of achieving the perfect body. But in a world saturated with restrictive diets promising quick fixes and miraculous transformations, it's essential to pause and consider the long-term implications of such approaches.  Such drastic actions often overshadow the detrimental effects of these restrictive regimens. As highlighted by Leslie's own experience, including those who have gone through this treacherous path of dieting themselves, restrictive diets often breed a sense of disempowerment and foster a toxic relationship with food. This relentless pursuit of perfection leaves no room for mistakes, thus promoting feelings of inadequacy and failure. Thereby sending one to be in a state of desperation. And that is never life changing. However,  there exists an alternative path—one that prioritizes holistic well-being and sustainable change over fleeting results. This alternative avenue is exemplified by practices such as Hypnosis for permanent weight loss. Hypnosis offers a unique approach to addressing the underlying issues that contribute to disordered eating habits. By delving into the subconscious mind, Hypnosis helps individuals unlock the barriers that impede their progress towards lasting change. Unlike restrictive diets, which focus solely on external factors like calorie count and food restriction, Hypnosis delves deeper, addressing the root causes of unhealthy behaviors. The efficacy of Hypnosis lies not only in its ability to raise awareness but also in its promotion of self-trust and empowerment. You will learn to listen to your body, make informed choices, and cultivate a positive relationship with food.  While restrictive diets may offer temporary results, they often come at a significant cost to mental and emotional well-being. By embracing alternative approaches like Hypnosis for permanent weight loss, individuals can embark on a journey towards sustainable change, reclaiming your freedom, lasting happiness, and fostering a newfound sense of balance and harmony with food and your body.  Let's dive deep into this episode and explore how we can completely get away from all the negative self-talk and fully embrace authenticity and life mastery. "I want you to know you can have absolutely anything you want. You just have to do what works to get there. You have to make a change. You have to ask for help. You have to get out of your comfort zone. And you have to INVEST in YOU." - Leslie Thornton What you will learn from this episode: 04:58 - Why Leslie is anti-diet and talking about the first step to your healing journey  07:26 - How food addiction differs from drug or alcohol addiction 10:03 - Empowerment over restrictive diets 12:07 - How you can join the free Hypnosis hour and what you can get from this 17:44 - Mastering your inner self-talk and what it would result to 21:51 - What this whole empowerment matter around food requires of you 26:01 - Why Leslie is qualified to coach you to reach your next level of transformation 27:58 - The second important thing to healing from food and body weight issues 31:23 - What is this third necessary aspect of your healing 32:53 - Here's the fourth part of your healing journey 35:55 - Leslie being as candid as she is talking about her journey in the making of this new masterclass and her passion to help 44:18 - Talking about the Hypnosis retreat experience and how it impacted participants 47:40 - The Masterclass: ‘How I Lost Weight Permanently and Stopped Stress-Eating Without Dieting or Excessive Excercise’ Valuable Resources:  Free Monthly Hypnosis for Weight Loss Session Join the 8-week Fastrack to Food Freedom Program -Guaranteed mental and emotional freedom from food   Connect With Leslie Thornton:  Book A Clarity Call  Free 2 Hour Masterclass—How I Lost Weight Permanently and Stopped Stress Eating without Dieting or Strenuous Exercise Website Facebook LinkedIn Email: Leslie@hpwl.co  If you enjoy the podcast, Would you please consider leaving a quick review on  Apple Podcasts/iTunes in under 60 seconds?

Ep 243 Is your destiny healing your relationship with food?

In one's pursuit of weight loss, you may find yourself desperate for quick fixes. And in one's longing to get the desired result as fast as you can, one is lured to get something that promises instant transformation. For the time being, it can be effective. Sure, you get what you want as fast as you can imagine it.  That's the new weight loss drug by Weight Watchers for you. It's anybody's dream of getting a solution in an instant. Yes, it does something to chop off extra pounds off you. You get what you've always wanted. That slimmer body, smaller waist, that swimsuit-body-flaunting-summer-ready-body you've been dying to have. Now, what then? For as long as when are you able to maintain that body?  Only for as long as your willpower can control it, that's going to be the situation. But what about when your restrictive power loses its grip? That's where you come back spiraling down.  When it comes to weight loss, much of your result comes from the mind. When you rely on a treatment that only fixes the physical aspect of weight loss and neglects the mind, that's not long-lasting. There's the mental and emotional aspect you need to look into. Once you take these into consideration then you are in for a sustainable weight loss. And that's where Hypnosis for permanent weight loss comes in. With it you get the tools for emotional and self-mastery. It helps individuals rewire their subconscious beliefs and behaviors surrounding food and body image. That's what you need to have that empowered choice around food where you no longer judge it for being good or bad. You get aligned for what feels right for you, not what anybody says is right for you. When you do, that's when authentic transformation happens and you experience lasting happiness and freedom.  "Weight loss drugs, they will make a difference probably to obviously so many people have lost weight. It's my belief that at the end of the day though they're gonna need our program. I have not found another program that has the hypnosis, the emotional mastery, the aligning to yourself with some amazing coaching." - Leslie Thornton What you will learn from this episode: 00:39 - Fixing the mind to fix your food and body issues 04:39 - An invitation to join Leslie's 2-hour free masterclass 06:40 - Insights into the new weight loss drugs trending now 10:14 - Why 'Weight Watchers' is not sustainable 15:13 - The need to understand the behavior instead of just controlling the behavior 20:59 - Side effects of the weight loss drugs 28:19 - Leslie's qualification to coach you into this Hypnosis program 29:15 - The emotional circus going on when you're on a diet mentality and how the negative thought inside your mind affect you  33:45 - What does Hypnosis teaches you about emotional eating [learn about the HEAL method] 37:36 - The possibility for you when you've got emotional mastery around food 40:04 - Successful client journey with Hypnosis and why Hypnosis is the best weight loss program out there 44:07 - How food is an indication of how you are out of alignment with yourself Valuable Resources:  Free Monthly Hypnosis for Weight Loss Session  Join the 8-week Fastrack to Food Freedom Program -Guaranteed mental and emotional freedom from food   Connect With Leslie Thornton:  Book A Clarity Call  Free 2 Hour Masterclass—How I Lost Weight Permanently and Stopped Stress Eating without Dieting or Strenuous Exercise Website Facebook LinkedIn Email: Leslie@hpwl.co  If you enjoy the podcast, Would you please consider leaving a quick review on  Apple Podcasts/iTunes in under 60 seconds?
