“In June 2010 my weight, blood sugar and pant size were way too high. I've been up and down the scales my whole life, but mostly up.

Now, at the ragged end of middle age, I realized I had to make a change FAST if I wanted to get to retirement, let alone enjoy it.

In July I went to the Morpheus Clinic on the recommendation of a friend. I am not an easy person to impress... my friends call me "Captain Cynic."

At the Clinic, I met Kate Gardiner. She is a professional, bright, welcoming and unpretentious person, who listens well. She was able to quickly identify my goals and develop a therapy session tailored specifically to my needs. Kate made sure to fully explain and de-mystify the whole process. Sessions were comfortable and relaxing.

What I can tell you (and I'd get on any soap box to proclaim this) is hypnotherapy worked for me immediately. After just one session, I felt strong and positive, even cheerful.

Anyone can diet for a couple of days or a week, but it has been three months now and I have lost 20 pounds and 2 pants sizes. My blood sugar is well under control and I've even been able to reduce diabetic medications. I am just simply not as interested in food (especially bad foods) as I was.

Nothing tastes better than thin.”
