Shopping, Sex, Alcohol, Chocolate and Gambling can all destroy your life. What starts as a pleasure may also turn into an out of control behaviour. The pleasure parts of the brain create compulsions, which are very hard to stop.
Sugar Addiction - usually toxicity in the intestines which creates and acidity in the body and leads to an imbalanced system. It is related to many bad health conditions such as diabetes.
Food Addictions - According to Allergy UK, about 45% of the UK population is suffering from food intolerance. How do you reverse the damage? Hypnosis helps remove the craving and the addiction to things that are bad for you.

Food As Medicine - You really are what you eat. The molecules in the fod you eat actually tell your cells how to behave. Nutrigenomics showsjust how connected to our diets are to our health. Food is information, so when it enters the body it communicates on a cellular level. It tells our bodies what to do as well as or better than medicine. Blum, an immune sytem doctor, tells us that prescription drugs usually only work at about 50-60% effectiveness (Blum, 2013). Genetics and individual biochemistry plays a part. We will respond in different ways to food. It is helpful if you examine your own response to foods the typically trigger the auto-immune system.
Linsey had RA and she first removed gluten from her diet. Within days she had no muscle pain and within 6 months, the tests showed she had no RA.
Inflamation - Points to activity: The body responds to attck by creating inflamation. If this goes on too long then the inflamatory chemicals interfere with the normal functioning of the body. Eg. holding onto fat cells with high cortisol respoinse. It can also damage blood vessel walls, and increases the risk of plaque, atherosclerosis, heart disease, and hypertension which would stimulate the immune system to produce more and more chemicals.
We need to figure our our own unique biochemistry and refrain from eating foods which cause inflamation for our system. 100 calaries from an apple is not the same as 100 calaries from a cookie. The apple has nutrients that make your cells sparkle (quercetin which is anti-inflamatory and anti-allergy. The cookie is loaded with sugar and fat - two things which set off a chian of events which are unhelpful for the system.
BEWARE OF: FODMAP- stands for FermentableOligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols which are certain types of carbohydrates and sugars that are NOT successfully broken down and absorbed by the small intestine. When these molecules are poorly absorbed in the small intestine of the gut they then continue along their journey arriving at the large intestine where they act as a food source to the bacteria that live there normally. Undigested FODMAP foods can act like a sponge drawing water into the gut and trapping it there. In addition, the combination of bacteria and FODMAP foods in the large intestine produces a LOT of gas. The result? Bloating, pain, diarrheoa and/or constipation, all classic IBS symptoms.
FODMAP carbohydrates include certain natural sugars in foods, and also certain types of fibre in foods. It’s not obvious which foods contain FODMAPs and which don’t and so Dietician or Nutritional Therapist guidance is needed. Here are some interesting examples:-
- Some fruits, for example apples, apricots, cherries and pears should be avoided, but others such as bananas, blueberries, cranberries, oranges or strawberries are fine.
- Vegetables such as beetroot, garlic, leeks and onions can be culprits, but carrots, courgettes, peppers, parsnips and tomatoes are FODMAP friendly.
- Wheat, rye and barley (in large amounts) are a big NO NO. Note that FODMAPs don’t have anything to do with gluten or coeliac disease, it’s just a coincidence that FODMAPs are contained in these gluten containing grains.
- Milk sugar (lactose) can be problematic, as can all types of legumes, for example baked beans, kidney beans and bortolotti beans, also lentils and chickpeas.
Professor Peter Whorwell, Gastroenterologist from the University Hospital of South Manchester says “there is emerging evidence that a diet low in FODMAP’s seems to help reduce the symptoms of IBS. Certainly it is easy to implement and a patient should adhere to it for two to three months, which allows the small intestines to repair.
There are other non-FODMAP foods that IBS sufferers may wish to try avoiding. For example foods high in fast releasing sugars such as unrefined grains, confectionary, cakes and biscuits, and insoluble fibre such as bran. Soluble fibre such as that contained in oats is usually more tolerable. Saturated fats from red meat may exacerbate symptoms and stimulants such as coffee, tea and sugary carbonated drinks.
This may all sound daunting; lots to think about before starting an elimination detox diet, but it’s important to remember that each IBS sufferer will have different food triggers and combining information about known IgG reactions (2) with other likely culprit foods to try and remove may help.
If you would like to start a detox programme and would like to use trance states to change your motivation to certain foods a few sessions of Hypnofix therapy would be ideal. Contact
