In this enlightening episode of "This is YOUR Special Time," Amanda Wright, a renowned clinical hypnotherapist from Perth, Western Australia, sheds light on the challenges faced by individuals after using GLP1 medications for weight loss. As these medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy become more common, the conversation shifts from initial weight loss success to the struggles many face once the medication is reduced or stopped. Amanda brings her 12-year expertise to address the underlying behavioural and psychological factors that play a critical role during this phase.

Amanda explains that while GLP1 medications effectively reduce appetite and food cravings, they do not address the deeply ingrained subconscious patterns related to emotional eating, stress responses, and identity patterns connected to food. These underlying issues can resurface once the medication is stopped, leading to anxiety and fear of weight regain. Through neuroplasticity, new neural pathways can be developed to support sustained change. Amanda emphasises the importance of integrating behavioural support with medical care to ensure a smoother transition off these medications.

Amanda emphasises the importance of long-term strategies beyond medication, focusing on subconscious habit changes to maintain weight loss effectively.

Exploring the concept of "borrowed control", Amanda illustrates how relying solely on medications may not be enough for lasting change. Hypnotherapy is highlighted as a significant tool, helping individuals retrain their subconscious pathways to foster self-control and instill healthier eating habits. Amanda also demystifies the phenomenon of "food noise," revealing its root in the nervous system's regulation patterns.
