Year after year, it seems like “quit smoking” or ‘”lose weight” make the top of every other person’s list of resolutions. How come so many fail to accomplish these goals, no matter how passionate they are, or how hard they try? While every nicotine patch and diet fad boast how easy it is to let go, there are a number of legitimate barriers to reaching these goals. Here, the hypnotherapy experts from Hypnotic Solutions in Cincinnati, OH, explain why losing weight or remaining tobacco-free can be so difficult. 

Smoking tobacco and overeating often stem from a hardwired addiction in the brain—they’re more than just habits you can’t kick. The nicotine in tobacco and the chemicals and additives in processed food reward your brain, releasing endorphins and leaving you hungry for more. In fact, it may feel impossible not to give into your cravings. However, it doesn’t mean you’re not strong—it just means these chemicals have a powerful hold on your neurobiology.

Other physical ailments, conditions, and factors can also exacerbate an addiction. For example, if you suffer from depression, weight loss or a tobacco-free lifestyle may feel all the more impossible. If you’re not sleeping enough or consuming vital nutrients, your body may be more inclined to give in to cravings. If you’re stressed, you need to eliminate the source of your anxiety before you can overcome additional challenges.

Fortunately, hypnotherapy can help you reduce stress, enhance your mental well-being, and achieve your goals. Whether you’re looking to drop pounds or quit cigarettes, registered nurse and certified hypnotherapist Margaret Arthur is here to help. In her experience, weight loss and smoking hypnosis have proven effective in overcoming obstacles individuals previously considered impossible.

If you’re looking to reduce stress, stop smoking, or live a happier, healthier life, it’s crucial to seek the treatment you deserve. To learn more about how hypnotherapy can help you, call Hypnotic Solutions at (513) 205-5669 or visit the website.
