Every week we hear more about the obesity crisis the world is facing and you only need to look at the following statistics from the World Health organisation.

  • Worldwide obesity has nearly tripled since 1975.
  • In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweight. Of these over 650 million were obese.
  • 39% of adults aged 18 years and over were overweight in 2016, and 13% were obese.
  • Most of the world's population live in countries where overweight and obesity kills more people than underweight.
  • Obesity is preventable.

What are common health consequences of overweight and obesity?

Raised BMI is a major risk factor for noncommunicable diseases such as:

  • cardiovascular diseases (mainly heart disease and stroke), which were the leading cause of death in 2012;
  • diabetes;
  • musculoskeletal disorders (especially osteoarthritis – a highly disabling degenerative disease of the joints);
  • some cancers (including endometrial, breast, ovarian, prostate, liver, gallbladder, kidney, and colon).

The risk for these noncommunicable diseases increases, with increases in BMI.

The costs of obesity

Failing to address the challenge posed by the obesity epidemic will place an even greater burden on NHS resources. It is estimated that the NHS spent £6.1 billion on overweight and obesity-related ill-health in 2014 to 2015.

Annual spend on the treatment of obesity and diabetes is greater than the amount spent on the police, the fire service and the judicial system combined.

The benefits of this training to you

This technique offers a safe, risk free way of helping your clients to lose weight without the risky surgery, healing time and cost. As a delgate you will receive Tutor support as and when you require it throughout your course.

You will find all the documentation that you need for the course inside this course along with suggested scripts, video demonstrations and client forms.

My journey started back in January 2000 which was when I left a very stressful life in the City of London. 

I am now a highly experienced Master Clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP, EMDR & NNRT Practitioner, Coach, Author of My Little Book of Helpfulness, Trainer, Tutor at the Life Practice Academy, Educator and Media Commentator. I feel that having worked in the City of London makes me exceptionally well qualified to help those who are dealing with all the Anxiety, Stress, Strains and everything else that seems to be thrown at us to bring us down in this modern day living.

I have a very pro-active press profile, writing and contributing to leading features on health and lifestyle across national newspapers, magazines and websites as well as appearing on the airwaves. These include BBC Radio 4, English Language Spanish Radio for the Costa del Sol, The Sunday Times, The Daily Mail, The Express, The Observer, The Telegraph, Stella magazine, The Mirror, You Magazine, Metro, Red and Woman & Home to name but a few.

Using my “toolbox” of Clinical Hypnotherapy, NLP, NNRT, Mindfulness and Coaching, I have successfully helped many people overcome all kinds of emotional and physical conditions, thus enabling them to take control of their life and become the person they’ve dreamed of being. 

I am also associated with the National Eczema Society helping people take control of both the physical and psychological effects of their skin conditions.

I practice in London, W1 and on-line, under the names of Hampstead Hypnotherapy and Monica Black Life Coach

I am a member of the GHR, GHSC, CNHC, Royal Society of Medicine. and a Fellow of the ACCPH.
