With a special interest in COPD The Stresshacker Sue Smith interviews  an independent Salt Therapy Spa owner Clare Atkinson and discovers the amazing healing benefits of this little known treatment.  In these Covid times this approach could be just the thing you're looking for to improve a number of health issues and complaints, from respiratory issues to sinus problems.

In this third and final episode of the Mindful Weight Loss trilogy, Susan talks about the necessity to develop new neural pathways and explores  different ways to upgrade the psychological software of the mind. She believes the the best way to approach weight loss is from a positive perspective. Showing us ways to phase out old-fashioned thinking around food and dieting, Susan alerts us to the type of thinking that creates failure in our endeavours to lose weight. She offers insights to making lasting changes and create better thoughts, feelings and behaviours around food.  These changes are part of the Mindful Weight Loss Course and you can get yours now by nipping over to the shop at www.thestresshacker.com along with the other helpful programmes mentioned in this podcast. 

This is the second of three episodes about losing weight using a mindful approach. Here Susan talks about the classic and scientific approach of Positive Reinforcement and how this logical, controlled method is a great way of getting results. She discusses ways to challenge the inner critic and replace the role of the bully with a more peaceful loving approach. You can find even more resources over on www.thestresshacker.com including Susan's popular Mindful Weight Loss course that could be as life changing for you as it has been for others.

In this, the first of a three-part series about Mindful Weight Loss, I talk about some of the underlying thoughts that drive poor eating habits and why emotional traumas play such a big part in these habits and addictions. I also look at some of the triggers that generate feelings of unworthiness and more importantly, how the repetition of small goals can reinforce good habits. In this podcast you’ll learn why positive reinforcement is key to moving forward to a happier healthier lifestyle. All without measuring, weighing and obsessing over calories.
