Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss

Ep 309 You’re Smart. You’re Capable. And You’re Still Stuck

Have you ever wondered why, despite knowing everything about weight loss, you still can't stop obsessing over food and your body? Why do you feel stuck in a loop of control, restriction, and guilt—even when you “do everything right”? And you feel like something deeper is driving your patterns? The truth is, it’s not about willpower, the number on the scale, or your latest diet. It’s about the emotional rollercoaster that fuels your decisions—feeling amazing one moment, spiraling the next, and waking up full of regret. You try to manage the symptoms with control or perfectionism, but that only leads to more disconnection, shame, and isolation. Eventually, you’re left wondering if real freedom around food and weight is even possible. In this episode, Leslie reveals how the root cause isn’t food at all—it’s your emotions and unhealed belief systems. Through her HEAL method, using Hypnosis, emotional mastery, and subconscious reprogramming, you’ll learn how to break free from the endless food chatter and finally feel safe, empowered, and at peace in your own body. This isn't another diet—it's the last stop on your weight loss journey. “If emotions are driving your food, they're driving your money, they're driving your energy, and you're not learning how to actually address them, you're avoiding them. What's your future going to look like? I can imagine that, basically, what your future is going to look like is you continuing to be a ping pong ball that is reacting to feelings.” - Leslie Thornton What you will learn from this episode: 01:20. - Why you’re not broken and that healing is possible 04:00 - Dieting struggles, emotional roots and why Leslie is the most qualified to help you  in your healing 07:38 - The emotional spiral and mental exhaustion behind control, restriction, and perfectionism around food 13:23 - The illusion of freedom in strict dieting and how food control can mask deeper emotional triggers 15:00 - What true freedom is like  20:02 - Why the problem isn’t the food or the weight 24:12 - How emotions—not logic—drive behaviors around food, money, and self-worth and how true transformation begins with self-love 29:53 - Unprocessed emotions: how it creates isolation, self-sabotage, and destructive cycles that affect both personal well-being and relationships 32:20 - Hypnosis as a way to healing emotional root causes of food obsession through hypnosis and self-worth work Valuable Resources: Join my next LIVE masterclass Join the 8-week Fastrack to Food Freedom Program -Guaranteed mental and emotional freedom from food  Connect With Leslie Thornton: Book A Clarity Call 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 307 Why You Fall Off Track And How To Stop It For Good.

Ep 306 The Final Step on Your Weight Loss Journey

Have you tried every diet, tracked every bite, and still found yourself stuck in the same cycle of food obsession and shame? Do you know, deep down, that this isn't really about food—but you’re not sure what else to do? What if the real weight you're carrying isn’t physical, but emotional? Because here's the truth: obsessing over calories and being “good” with food might feel like control, but it's just masking the deeper pain. Triggers—often rooted in past wounds or relationships—send you into a shame spiral, and no matter how hard you try, the same old pattern plays out again and again. You’re not broken—you’re just trying to feel safe in the only way you know how. That’s why Leslie offers a different path. Her customized coaching process helps you heal the emotional core of your food struggles, so you can finally let go of dieting, listen to your body, and live in a way that feels authentic and free. It’s not about restriction—it’s about lasting transformation, one step at a time. “I wanna let you know that this path that I'm about to share with you, maybe the first or the fiftieth time you've heard about it, it's different. It's not another quick fix. It's not a seventy five day challenge or a detox or another perfectionistic fueled sprint toward a number on the scale. This journey is steady. This journey is calm, and most of all, it's designed to help you feel safe. And it's not about controlling food. It's about healing the patterns underneath the food. This is the real work. This is the last step on your weight loss journey.” - Leslie Thornton What you will learn from this episode: 07:19 - Leslie sharing her personal struggles with food, body, and weight and how you might relate to this 13:34 - How enrolling in one course led her to discover coaching and hypnosis, transforming her life and career, and finding her true calling to help others find freedom from food struggles through action and alignment. 16: 51 - The role hypnosis, emotional healing, and subconscious work do to your lasting freedom and transformation  24:18 -   Conveying that true health includes mental and emotional well-being—not just physical fitness—and lasting freedom from food struggles means addressing the deeper issues beyond diet  26:35- Explaining the “positive reinforcement cycle” with visualization of how things are 32:36 - How emotional triggers create subconscious patterns around food, and breaking free requires healing these patterns, not just following diets 37:26 - Illustrating the real difference between someone who feels free around food and someone who struggles  39:46 -  The result when emotional triggers are healed 42:11 - Outlining the three-core-phase journey to food freedom 46:08 - How your core wounds—like feeling unlovable or not enough—silently shape every area of life, including eating habits unless healed  50:13 - Sharing that lasting food freedom comes from a personalized, step-by-step healing journey— inviting you to begin yours by booking a call Valuable Resources: Join my next LIVE masterclass Join the 8-week Fastrack to Food Freedom Program -Guaranteed mental and emotional freedom from food  Connect With Leslie Thornton: Book A Clarity Call 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 305 Why you're overwhelmed with food (and how to finally feel free)

Have you ever wondered why you keep struggling with food, even when you know what to do? Why can you be successful in so many areas of life, yet feel stuck in an exhausting cycle of overeating, dieting, and self-criticism? If you’ve tried everything but nothing seems to stick, you're not alone. The truth is, it’s not about willpower or food—it’s about what's happening beneath the surface. Emotional triggers, hidden trauma, and unconscious identities like “the strong one” or “the responsible one” silently drive your patterns. And when you avoid feeling what’s really there, you cling to control, diets, or food as a false sense of safety. In this episode, Leslie reveals how to break free from that cycle—for good. She shares the emotional root causes of food struggles and introduces a new path to healing: calming the nervous system, trusting your body, and mastering emotions without relying on control. It’s not about another diet—it’s about finally coming home to yourself. “ I can't ever know what's going to help someone unless I have a longer conversation with them. My kind of superpower is I'm able to really listen to you in a way that no one's been able to really hear you before. And consider that could be what your soul has really been asking for, for all these years that you've been trying to figure out the weight thing. And so I promise a breakthrough for you on any call that you get on with me and just know that I just absolutely love holding space for you as you're serious about learning what's in the way of your being able to master this area of your life.” - Leslie Thornton What you will learn from this episode: 01:11 - What drives overeating isn’t just food —- it’s more than that 06:09 - What’s beneath every trigger that leads to emotional exhaustion and avoidance behavior 07:51 - How does avoidance behavior manifest 10:51- It’s not a weight issue; it’s an emotional thing 11:54 - Requirement to achieve lasting change with food and weight issues 15 :01 - Take it from those who tried Lesli’s program and how it changed them 17:01 -  What you can expect from Leslie’s program Valuable Resources: Join my next LIVE masterclass Join the 8-week Fastrack to Food Freedom Program -Guaranteed mental and emotional freedom from food  Connect With Leslie Thornton: Book A Clarity Call 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?
