Now, please look up at my fingers, and take another nice deep breath and relax all the way down, down, down to your feet.

Sure, hypnotherapy is helping 1 Michael Casey relax, but it has also helped him lose weight, 107 pounds, to be exact, gone in 14 months.

There is no sense of depravation, which is the really nice thing. I'm not punishing myself; I'm not starving myself; I'm not uncomfortable; I'm not feeling like a martyr 2; I’m just not eating the way I used to.

Relax.

This wasn't his first weight-loss attempt.

Oh, I've done all kinds of diets, I’ve tried the no carb, I’ve tried the high carb, I’ve tried the no fat, and I tried just basic calorie counting .

But nothing worked until he underwent six 90-minute sessions with certified 3 hypnotherapist Olga Stevko in San Francisco.

It is so good.

Olga says she reached Michael's subconscious 4 mind to help change some of his thoughts and beliefs about food.

You acctually can go to the root cause of those emotions, which linked to overeating or eating unhealthy foods. And you can neutralize 5 those emotions.

She also helped him embrace exercise.

Hypnosis will, might wake them to really, really want to exercise.

Olga says she's helped more than 100 clients tighten 6 their belts.

You are eating smaller portions of...

But the MDs and registered dietitians we talked with remained skeptical 7. They question the effectiveness of this therapy and whether it would work on most people.

Olga says her clients are proof, hypnotherapy works.

They can tell you that every single client who came to me and stay with my program. Every single client lost weight.

Michael now visits Olga once a month for maintenance and if he's out of town, he can undergo a phone-hypnotherapy session.

At your ideal, healthiest body weight.

Michael is no longer a member of the Clean Plate Club. He’s kissed Mayonnaise goodbye and the veggies he once shunned 8? Mayonnaise: a dressing 9 made of egg yolks, vegetable oils, and vinegar or lemon juice. It is a popular condiment 10 used in the United States, but is very fattening 11.

Now I look for the vegetables first, I just, you know, I love them.

In this session, Olga asks him to say the two words that describe how he feels now.

Agile 12 and young. Agile and young.

Good.

Michael describes it as meditation 13 with a purpose, and credits the mind changing sessions with ending 25 years of dieting and giving him a new body.
