Ep 315 The 3 Things Healthcare Pros Must...

Leslie M. Thornton
About this episode

Have you ever wondered why, even with all your knowledge and care for others, your own relationship with weight still feels heavy? Why it seems so easy to guide patients toward health, yet so hard to feel that same peace within yourself? Could it be that what you've learned about weight might actually be standing in your way?

So many healthcare professionals carry quiet pressure—to look a certain way, to have it all together, to never struggle. But beneath that is exhaustion, self-doubt, and a constant cycle of trying harder without feeling any closer to freedom. It's not that you're doing anything wrong—it's just that what once worked no longer fits the person you've become.

In this episode, Michelle, a 'Fast Track' program client, opens up about how Hypnosis helped her gently shift her mindset and reconnect with her inner calm. Through Leslie's program, she discovered that healing doesn't come from control, but from trust, compassion, and letting go. Her story reminds us that peace with your body is possible when you start unlearning what no longer serves you.

Let's dive into this episode and find out how you can transform your life without ever worrying about food and your weight ever again.

"If I change and work on myself, that, in turn, alters how I would communicate so that things would actually come back to the way I want it…I feel much better now to handle things and all the diet mentality." - Michelle

What you will learn from this episode:

05:45 - Michelle's background

08:03 - What life was before and her struggles before the 'Fast Track' program

10:24 - The big possibility of rewiring your brain about your weight problem with Hypnosis

32:26 - The 'before and after' testimony of Michelle's transformation [ how she got back her power]

44:10 - One very good reason that Michelle found out about the program that truly worked for her 

48:20 - Michelle's encouraging words to those still doubting themselves getting into Leslie's program

51:32 - Getting into the certification program and how it can help you and make a difference in other people as well
