TRIM-LIFE® Program

The TRIM-LIFE® Program is designed for individuals who have tried multiple diet plans and discovered that diets alone don’t work. Rather than focusing on restriction, TRIM-LIFE® provides an alternative approach that helps uncover the underlying emotional eating patterns that may have been present throughout your life.

Many people are able to lose weight and maintain it for weeks, months, or even years. However, when a powerful emotional trigger appears—such as the loss of a loved one, a job change, a divorce, or other major stressor—the weight can return seemingly overnight. TRIM-LIFE® guides participants in identifying these emotional triggers and unhealthy eating patterns and supports them in transforming these habits where they originate: in the subconscious mind.

The updated TRIM-LIFE® Program, designed by The Wellness Institute in collaboration with the Cleveland Clinic’s Integrative Medicine Program, includes:

• Six weekly sessions, each 2 hours long

• Six additional weekly support sessions, 1 hour each, following program completion

• A program book, workbook, and audio recordings (provided on CD or jump drive)

• Options for group sessions or individual sessions (individual sessions are offered at a higher rate)

How Hypnosis Supports Weight Loss

Hypnosis can be a powerful tool when combined with comprehensive weight-management strategies. While it is not a quick fix, hypnosis helps individuals build healthier relationships with food, manage emotional triggers, and strengthen motivation for long-term change. Research has shown promising results, though more studies are needed to fully understand its long-term effectiveness.

Potential Benefits of Hypnosis for Weight Loss:

• Behavioral Change
Helps develop healthier eating habits—such as slowing down, recognizing hunger and fullness cues, and reducing emotional eating.

• Stress and Anxiety Reduction
Since stress often leads to overeating, hypnosis can help regulate emotional responses and support more mindful choices.

• Increased Motivation and Confidence
Enhances self-efficacy and strengthens commitment to lifestyle changes.

• Cognitive Restructuring
Helps challenge limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns related to food, body image, and self-care.

Important Considerations

• Not a Standalone Solution:
  Hypnosis is most effective when paired with healthy eating, movement, and supportive lifestyle changes.

• Work with a Qualified Professional:
  Proper guidance ensures safety and maximizes effectiveness.

• Individual Results Vary:
  Every person’s experience and outcomes are unique.

• Mild Side Effects:
  Some individuals may experience brief dizziness, drowsiness, or emotional release after sessions.

In Summary

Hypnosis can be a valuable, supportive tool—especially for those who struggle with emotional eating or unhelpful thought patterns around food. When used within a comprehensive, compassionate weight-management plan, and guided by a trained professional, it can help create lasting change.
