• 0:07
  issues. Brought to you by the
• 0:10
  hypnotherapist, demanded by celebrities, CEOs and even
• 0:14
  royalty. Adam Cox.
• 0:16
  These recordings took place live from Adam's clinic in London's
• 0:19
  world famous Harley Street. This podcast features powerful
• 0:23
  hypnosis, so do not listen while driving or operating machinery.
• 0:27
  This recording is not suitable for those with epilepsy or
• 0:30
  severe mental health issues, so get yourself comfortable and
• 0:34
  enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
• 0:43
  Hi, it's Adam here. And in this episode of The
• 0:45
  Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to a weight loss.
• 0:48
  Hypnosis session. That was created for a.
• 0:51
  Client that. Had a big celebration planned in
• 0:55
  their diary in about 7. Months in the future and 1:00.
• 1:00
  Of the most powerful catalysts for change, particularly in body
• 1:04
  shape, is called a compelling vision of the future and in
• 1:10
  particular, women before a significant date in the
• 1:14
  calendar, like a wedding for example, because they think
• 1:18
  about our future. Date.
• 1:19
  So much and how they're going to be in photos and how they're
• 1:23
  going to be around other people. That clear vision of how they
• 1:27
  want to be in that compelling vision influences all of the
• 1:32
  tiny, subtle choices that lead up to that particular point.
• 1:36
  And that's why it's such a powerful psychological strategy.
• 1:41
  It also has its downside and that is that sometimes when
• 1:44
  these key dates pass, because the the key compelling vision of
• 1:49
  the future is now the past, they lose that motivation and quite
• 1:53
  often they gain a lot of weight that has been lost.
• 1:56
  And it doesn't have to be a wedding.
• 1:57
  It could be a holiday, it could be an award ceremony, it could
• 2:03
  be a Christmas or a birthday or something like that.
• 2:06
  Now, this particular client was a male client and they had
• 2:11
  essentially a wedding party that had wedding in lockdown, in
• 2:15
  COVID. They didn't really celebrate it
• 2:16
  at the time and they really wanted to have this kind of big
• 2:19
  celebration. So they had an idea of a venue.
• 2:22
  That they'd. Booked and they also had this
• 2:25
  idea of a reunion with some college friends, perhaps around
• 2:28
  a pool party, all of which was taking a place around May or
• 2:31
  June, so about seven months in the future.
• 2:33
  And what this does really is it uses certain nutritional
• 2:38
  strategies for weight loss combined with an element of
• 2:42
  association in a disassociated state.
• 2:46
  And they use AVR game like a simulation metaphor to get to
• 2:50
  the point where they can imagine playing a character who's on
• 2:53
  this seven month mission to turn up at one of these events the
• 2:58
  way that they would want to be. And they wanted the body shape
• 3:01
  to be not skinny or slim, but kind of athletic, lean,
• 3:06
  muscular, strong, but also quite mobile.
• 3:10
  It was almost the the physique of AUFC character, a player that
• 3:13
  they really wanted. And again, this is quite useful
• 3:17
  to kind of frame it in terms of right, well, this seven months
• 3:20
  will pass and that day will come.
• 3:23
  The only question is which version of them are they going
• 3:26
  to turn up at that event as and the choices they make in that
• 3:30
  lead up could influence that future version of them.
• 3:33
  And it really focuses on macros, so proteins, carbs and fats.
• 3:38
  But within those it's possible to make really good choices.
• 3:42
  Proteins generally, you know, meat and fish of of lean
• 3:46
  varieties, very, very good carbohydrates.
• 3:50
  Generally anything colourful, so colourful vegetables, colourful
• 3:54
  fruits, whole grains because of all the fiber, these are the
• 3:57
  kind of things that if you are going to have carbs, they're
• 4:00
  great carbs to have. And then in terms of the fats,
• 4:03
  eggs, it's a combination of fats and proteins.
• 4:07
  Certain dairy produce again, it it satiates the hunger, but it
• 4:11
  actually can be quite a useful way to lean fat.
• 4:15
  The key thing really that is helpful to reduce, to become
• 4:19
  leaner is really refined carbohydrates.
• 4:22
  This is your ultra high processed foods, generally
• 4:25
  things in packets or boxes, things made in factories or
• 4:29
  laboratories. Generally that's refined
• 4:32
  carbohydrates. It also tends to be one of the
• 4:35
  most addictive types of food because the food companies know
• 4:38
  that if they have an addict rather than a customer, they get
• 4:41
  to sell more product and therefore.
• 4:44
  Going for lean? Foods, natural foods, Whole
• 4:48
  Foods is a really good strategy, but it uses this element of the
• 4:52
  first few months of finding that kind of habit to train their
• 4:55
  brain to kind of like this food. Then it's.
• 4:58
  Increasing physical activity and then increasing mobility, and
• 5:03
  each one builds on the previous level and it almost treats it
• 5:07
  like a computer game. This kind of first player
• 5:10
  role-playing game metaphor is quite helpful because everyone
• 5:15
  can look at someone else's life and think, oh, it's easy.
• 5:18
  If that person had to lose weight, all they'd have to do is
• 5:20
  AB and C, and they'd probably be right.
• 5:22
  But it's different when you're in your own body than if you're
• 5:25
  looking at someone like this, someone else.
• 5:26
  And this taps into the ethos of disassociation.
• 5:30
  If you're listening to this and you like the idea of using some
• 5:33
  kind of combination of hypnosis and nutritional strategies to
• 5:36
  help you lose weight, there will be a link in the show notes.
• 5:39
  Or you can check out my website, adamcox.co.uk.
• 5:43
  Book a free consultation call, We'll have a chat, and I might
• 5:45
  be the right hypnotherapist to work with you so that you have a
• 5:48
  compelling vision for your future and that you get to be
• 5:51
  more of the person you want to be.
• 5:53
  So if that appeals, check me out.
• 5:56
  For now, though, this session might do what you need it to do,
• 5:59
  in which case, find a quiet, comfortable place where you
• 6:01
  won't be disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 6:41
  Take a deep breath in as you breathe in, breathe in a
• 6:52
  wonderful feeling of resourcefulness.
• 6:57
  And as you exhale, just allow any feelings of stress, worry,
• 7:04
  or tension to feel like it's melting away and leaving your
• 7:11
  body in that outward breath. Breathing in resourceful
• 7:21
  relaxation and letting go of anything that needs to be
• 7:31
  released. The deeper you breathe, the more
• 7:39
  relaxed you become. And the more relaxed you become,
• 7:45
  the deeper you breathe as you feel that you're drifting off to
• 7:51
  a place, a place of enhanced imagination.
• 7:59
  Imagination that is powered powered by the infinite
• 8:06
  possibility of your intuition. And I want you to imagine that
• 8:15
  your imagination itself is a portal into infinite realities.
• 8:27
  And I wonder if you could use the power of your imagination to
• 8:34
  imagine a reality of advanced technology, a place where an
• 8:45
  interface that could be like a virtual reality headset or
• 8:53
  perhaps some sensor that you place on your temple takes you
• 9:02
  into a different reality. So breathe in and breathe out
• 9:15
  and imagine standing in front of this technology.
• 9:24
  And I want you to imagine it's like playing a game, a
• 9:30
  role-playing game with a first person perspective.
• 9:40
  And perhaps you can imagine reading nearby instructions.
• 9:47
  This is a game where the choices you make open up or close
• 9:56
  different branches of a probability tree.
• 10:00
  But there is a goal, A7 month goal, to enable this character
• 10:10
  to experience a gathering, a celebration, and the goal is to
• 10:19
  be in excellent, lean physical shape.
• 10:29
  And it's easy to fail this game. Just choose to prioritise
• 10:36
  convenience and short term gratification, and by doing so
• 10:48
  you lead forward to a pathway of perhaps falling short of what
• 10:59
  could have been in this virtual reality seven months.
• 11:12
  We'll see more like 10 or 15 minutes and the time will pass
• 11:20
  anyway. The only question is what
• 11:27
  version of this character will turn up at that celebration or
• 11:33
  pool party. And I wonder if you could make
• 11:41
  things easy by having a framework and we can call the
• 11:48
  framework the rule of three. The first rule of three is 3
• 12:00
  phases of a plan. Phase 1 to prioritize nutrition,
• 12:07
  phase two to prioritize exercise, and phase three to
• 12:15
  prioritize mobility and movement.
• 12:21
  And if your unconscious agrees with the broad phasing of plans,
• 12:25
  let me know by nodding your head.
• 12:32
  And then imagine there are three macros to think about, Proteins,
• 12:39
  carbs, and fats. But what if each one of those
• 12:44
  three had three subcategories? And you could create this
• 12:51
  winnable game simply by prioritizing the three best
• 12:57
  quality sources of each macro. Imagine the proteins are best
• 13:06
  served from not processed food and manufactured food, but real
• 13:13
  food, real poultry, real fish and real steak.
• 13:25
  But if the majority of the protein that you consumed in
• 13:28
  this seven month challenge was from fresh poultry, fresh fish
• 13:35
  and good quality steaks, you increase the probability of
• 13:42
  accomplishing your mission. And then think of carbs.
• 13:49
  Think of the Magic 3 colourful vegetables, whole fruits and
• 14:01
  whole grains and already your mind is thinking of infinite
• 14:11
  combinations of the proteins and carbs to create delicious meals.
• 14:22
  The goal is not to make a 7 month journey unenjoyable, it's
• 14:30
  to get to the destination and enjoy the journey.
• 14:38
  And let's start to think of the fats.
• 14:43
  Three main sources of fats. Perhaps you can think of dairy
• 14:55
  being one of those sources. Maybe you can think of all the
• 15:06
  different ways in which you can consume eggs, Fried, boiled,
• 15:14
  scrambled, poached, all the different combinations.
• 15:20
  And sometimes some of those eggs would be prepared alongside
• 15:25
  quality oils, maybe oils that come from certain nuts or seeds,
• 15:40
  or perhaps from avocados. I want you to get a sense that
• 15:48
  even within dairy there is so much choice.
• 15:55
  Quality milk or yoghurts, the ones with added sugar, but the
• 16:01
  ones that are real, real Greek yoghurts, perhaps combined with
• 16:08
  nutritious berries. I want you to get a sense that
• 16:14
  you could accomplish this seven month challenge and really enjoy
• 16:22
  the journey. So imagine placing that VR
• 16:28
  headset over your eyes, or perhaps placing a sensor on your
• 16:34
  temple, and then feel that you've taken the perspective of
• 16:41
  a character, a character that weighs a certain amount and has
• 16:48
  certain habits. I want you to get a sense that
• 16:55
  they're used to doing certain things.
• 16:59
  Maybe they're prioritising things based on short term
• 17:06
  enjoyment or pleasure and less about this seven month quest.
• 17:14
  But you are now in control of this character, aware of the
• 17:20
  habits, the routines, the rituals, the tendencies, the
• 17:27
  social dynamics of friends or a partner.
• 17:32
  And yet you are in control of this character.
• 17:41
  So imagine what you do on day one of this seven month quest.
• 17:48
  Wouldn't it make sense to have the most enjoyable meals
• 17:51
  possible based on these wonderful combinations?
• 17:59
  Perhaps steak with a combination of vegetables, or perhaps
• 18:11
  chicken or Turkey with whole grains?
• 18:17
  Imagine it being the most delicious meal ever, realizing
• 18:23
  that the first few days of this quest to worry about losing
• 18:29
  weight, they're simply about making the game winnable, making
• 18:35
  it enjoyable, making it so there is no resistance, no
• 18:40
  frustration, No Fear of missing out.
• 18:45
  Maybe you could imagine a breakfast made of eggs, prepared
• 18:50
  just in that way. Maybe the snack is incredibly
• 18:57
  delicious fresh fruits. Maybe there are frozen fruits
• 19:05
  always on hand to add to Greek yoghurt or throw into a blender
• 19:10
  to make a delicious smoothie. I want you to feel like you're
• 19:17
  in control of this quest and for the first few days all you're
• 19:21
  doing is training your brain to enjoy eating this way.
• 19:28
  And when it feels like you've got through the 1st week
• 19:33
  enjoying the food that you're eating, even if it is in large
• 19:38
  portions, let me know by nodding your head.
• 19:51
  I want you to get a sense that your drink of choice is perhaps
• 19:56
  water or maybe those things that are low calorie.
• 20:06
  Black coffee, green teas, cool water with ice, whatever
• 20:17
  appeals. Imagine drinking it.
• 20:19
  You're just playing the role of a character and as the days go
• 20:26
  on, notice the portions get smaller.
• 20:32
  I want you to feel that any medication in the past that
• 20:36
  contributed to weight gain is now doing the opposite by making
• 20:44
  a change. The weight just seems to be
• 20:46
  falling off and as the days turn into weeks, I want you to feel
• 20:53
  that the majority of your protein is coming from poultry,
• 20:57
  fish and steak. The majority of your carbs are
• 21:01
  coming from colourful vegetables, fruit and whole
• 21:05
  grains and the majority of your fats are coming from eggs and
• 21:11
  good quality dairy produce. It almost feels like
• 21:20
  nutritionally, it feels like you've gone back in time to a
• 21:24
  time of real ingredients, quality ingredients.
• 21:33
  Perhaps. It feels like you're eating the
• 21:35
  same way that your ancestors used to eat and feel that
• 21:42
  primal, lean, strong version of you emerging from within.
• 21:50
  As the weeks turn into months, feel a desire to be more active,
• 21:56
  lifting more weights, walking or running more.
• 22:02
  Feel that you get to choose what you do.
• 22:07
  You choose how you spend your free time.
• 22:11
  You join a gym, try out a different gym, swim more than
• 22:17
  you used to, cycle If you choose, feel that there is a
• 22:22
  desire to be more active, I want you to get a sense.
• 22:28
  Then, seven months from when the game started, there will be a
• 22:36
  celebration. Perhaps a celebration inside an
• 22:42
  old Barber shop or perhaps a celebration in a house with a
• 22:49
  pool. But you'll be attending this
• 22:55
  event come what may. The only question is which
• 23:01
  version of you attends. And I want you to Fast forward
• 23:10
  and imagine how it would feel attending.
• 23:15
  Feeling heavy? Feeling lethargic?
• 23:23
  Feeling clunky? Feeling drained with energy.
• 23:31
  It may still be enjoyable, but I want you to feel that this is
• 23:36
  just one possibility. The end of 1 branch of 1
• 23:43
  probability pathway. But as you rewind, decide in
• 23:50
  advance this is an easy trade off.
• 23:55
  You get to enjoy your food, enjoy feeling strong and
• 24:00
  powerful, and arrive at this celebration as the version of
• 24:07
  you that you want to be. This is just a simulation, a
• 24:18
  game. And since it is, I want you to
• 24:22
  imagine switching places with a character that is playing AUFC
• 24:27
  fighter training for a big fight.
• 24:34
  Think of the specific fighter, and then you're now in their
• 24:38
  body. Feel that strength, that
• 24:43
  mobility, that looseness, that ability to be agile and fluid
• 24:48
  and nimble. It's strong and powerful.
• 24:53
  Feel that you've got all of that energy, the energy to train and
• 24:59
  notice the quality of food that you consume.
• 25:03
  You're not focused on what you can't eat.
• 25:05
  You're focused on what you can eat, what you choose to eat.
• 25:10
  And feel that all of those strategies and knowledge and
• 25:14
  habits are being activated so that when you return back to
• 25:19
  your previous character, it feels like you've downloaded all
• 25:25
  of those beliefs and strategies and ways of thinking, albeit in
• 25:30
  a body that isn't as lean as that fighter yet.
• 25:38
  And let's focus on the emphasis of yet.
• 25:42
  Because if you do what they do, the body shape of this character
• 25:46
  will become more like them. Feel that as the weeks turn into
• 25:53
  months, you increase the intensity.
• 25:58
  Three months have passed and nutritionally you feel like
• 26:01
  you've laid the foundation. You keep that nutritional focus
• 26:07
  and then increase physical activity, getting stronger,
• 26:14
  increasing your cardio fitness. Feel like you've done that for
• 26:19
  two months, eaten well and exercise well and see how your
• 26:26
  body shape has already changed. This is a winnable game.
• 26:32
  Maintain that nutrition and then in the final few weeks you feel
• 26:41
  that you are living in a character with full of energy,
• 26:44
  intensity, mobility and agility and just make the most of living
• 26:51
  this character. Do all the things that you would
• 26:55
  do with all of that energy, strength and mobility.
• 27:04
  Maybe you climb, maybe you swim, maybe there's certain sports
• 27:13
  that you play more of. I want you to have that same
• 27:18
  energy that you would have if you got to drive a sports car
• 27:24
  for just a week. Wouldn't you put it to its
• 27:26
  limits before giving the keys back?
• 27:29
  Feel how you would feel to put this body shape to the test, to
• 27:36
  do everything you would want to do.
• 27:38
  Feeling as strong, as flexible, as lean and as energetic as AUFC
• 27:46
  fighter. And then suddenly it feels like
• 27:54
  it's the day of a celebration. And feel how good it would feel
• 28:00
  to turn up. Feeling lean and strong and
• 28:05
  muscular. I want you to hear the
• 28:10
  compliments of people that haven't seen you for a while.
• 28:17
  You notice how often WOW comes up.
• 28:21
  You look great. People asking for tips, how
• 28:26
  you've trained, what you do and feel yourself brimming with
• 28:31
  pride and confidence, energy, feel it's the best day ever and
• 28:41
  you made it happen and all it took was a few different habits
• 28:49
  and decisions. Wiring it into this character
• 28:53
  that you're playing. And if it feels good in this
• 28:55
  moment, let me know by nodding your head.
• 29:09
  And as you experience a taste of what it feels like, feel that
• 29:12
  this habit continues way after this celebration.
• 29:18
  But it's time to leave this simulation and then feel that
• 29:24
  you're there taking off a headset or removing a sensor on
• 29:28
  your temple. But in playing this game, feel
• 29:33
  that you have now primed your mind.
• 29:38
  It's a new pathway that you can take when you return to your
• 29:43
  reality or your simulation. So take a deep breath in through
• 29:47
  your nose and out through your nose.
• 29:53
  Wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
• 29:54
  Connect fully in the here and now as I now count from 1:00 to
• 29:59
  10:00 to awaken you. You will awaken feeling
• 30:01
  resourceful, confident, with a sense of clarity as to how to
• 30:06
  make a game winnable for you. Starting to count 123.
• 30:12
  Waking up 456. More alert 7-8.
