About the Course
Obesity is not just a personal challenge — it’s a global crisis. With the NHS spending an estimated, eye-watering, £6.1 billion annually on obesity-related health problems, and more money allocated to treating obesity and diabetes than to the police, fire services, and judiciary combined, the need for a solution-focused approach has never been more pressing.
In this CPD, we will unravel the complex biological, psychological, and neurological components of weight management, especially focusing on the science behind obesity. This knowledge equips you to better understand your clients’ struggles and empowers you to guide them towards sustainable weight management.
Through engaging discussions and cutting-edge insights, we’ll cover the following key areas:
- The Neuroscience of Obesity: Discover the brain mechanisms that influence eating behaviors and weight regulation.
- Biological Factors: Explore the role of adipose tissue and its impact on metabolic processes.
- Evolutionary Perspectives on Eating Behavior: Are our eating habits hardwired by primitive instincts?
- The Stress-Eating Cycle: How stress triggers unhealthy eating patterns, and how to break the cycle.
- Comfort Eating & Depression: Understand how emotional states shape eating behaviours and the role of mental health in weight management.
- Evidence-Based Treatments: Examine both effective and ineffective treatment options, and what works best.
- Our Solution-Focused Approach: Learn how to apply a powerful, client-centered approach to help people overcome weight management challenges.
- The Miracle Question: Master this powerful technique to guide clients through their journey to change.
This CPD is a vital step toward addressing the global obesity epidemic, providing a comprehensive toolkit that not only helps your clients but also empowers you to make a real difference. Plus, this CPD is complemented by other courses focused on eating disorders, working with weight management groups, and the growing links between the microbiome and mental health — check out our full CPD Library for more details.
The importance of Neuroscience and Obesity is why this CPD is also an integral part of the Advanced Hypnotherapy Diploma course (AHD).
