If this is you

You know how to eat. The noise gets in the way.

If you came here for weight, he'll tell you what he tells his patients: weight is a result. He works on the moments that produce it, stress, habit, the rule you break at nine p.m., and on enjoying food more while eating better.

How Dr. Spiegel works with it

Four principles. Three points. One practice.

1

He finds out how you respond

A short test. It tells him how your mind takes suggestion, and how to work with you.

2

He gives you three points to keep

"For my body, too much processed food is a poison. I need my body to live. I owe my body respect and protection." Not fighting food, eating with respect for your body. In focused attention, it lands.

3

He works with the moment

Hunger or stress? The moment before you eat is where it changes. You rate how in control you feel before and after; next time he asks what happened, and if sleep or stress is driving it, he works on that.

Hypnosis for weight loss

What hypnosis can change, and what it can't.

Hypnosis won't melt weight off, and no honest program promises a number on the scale. What it changes is the eating behind the weight: the craving after dinner, eating when you're stressed rather than hungry, the second helping you didn't really want.

Dr. Spiegel uses hypnosis to change what you want, not to suppress what you want. In the research, that holds up: adding hypnosis to behavioural eating programs roughly doubled their effect, and the benefit kept growing after the program ended.

An app or a hypnotherapist?

The same method, whenever the moment comes.

A session with a clinical hypnotherapist costs $150 to $500, if you can find one near you. Dr. Spiegel teaches his patients to do it themselves: all hypnosis is self-hypnosis.

Reveri is that self-hypnosis practice, guided by his AI. About ten minutes, at home, before a meal or at 9 p.m. when the kitchen calls. Each session starts from what happened since the last one.

How it compares

Not a pill. Not meditation. Not an hour a week.

Medication

Works while you take it; side effects and dependence are the trade-off. Reveri has neither, and nothing in it asks you to change what your doctor prescribes.

Meditation

Trains you to observe what's there. Hypnosis is focused attention used to change how you relate to it. Many members do both.

Therapy

An hour a week, when you can get one. This is Dr. Spiegel's method in ten minutes, whenever the moment comes, including 3 a.m.

The evidence

What the research says.

Line chart: determination rises over a ten-minute session.

62% of members feel more determined after one session.

Improvement data after completing an Eat Well interactive session. Self-reported ratings, not clinical outcomes.

2×

Adding hypnosis to behavioural eating programs roughly doubled their effect in the classic meta-analysis (Kirsch, 1996).

Grows

The benefit of hypnosis increased at follow-up rather than fading, the opposite of most diets.

One practice

Stress, sleep and eating feed each other. He keeps all of it in mind.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is this a diet?

No. There is no meal plan and no scale. The method changes the relationship: you eat with respect for your body, enjoy food more, and eat better because you want to, not because you are fighting yourself.

Does hypnosis help people eat better?

Yes. In the meta-analysis of behavioural eating programs, adding hypnosis roughly doubled the effect, and the benefit grew over time rather than fading. The mechanism is not suppression; it is a shift in what you want.

What about cravings and stress eating?

He works on the moment before you eat: what is actually going on, hunger or stress, and what would answer it. If stress or sleep is driving the eating, he says so and works on that too.

How long does it take?

About ten minutes a session. Most members notice a change in the next meal; the relationship changes over weeks of practice.

Can hypnosis help with weight loss?

It can help with the eating behind the weight: cravings, stress eating and portions. In the classic meta-analysis, adding hypnosis to behavioural programs roughly doubled their effect, and the benefit grew over time. Reveri is not a diet and doesn't promise a number on the scale.

Is a hypnosis app as good as a hypnotherapist?

Dr. Spiegel teaches his patients self-hypnosis, because all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. Reveri guides that practice with his AI, every day if you like, for less than the cost of one clinic visit a year. If you have an eating disorder, work with a licensed professional.

Do I need to be very hypnotizable?

No. Everyone can benefit; the way each person experiences it varies. The first session includes a short test, and the approach is adjusted to how you respond.
