022: Reversing Obesity with Reflection and Resetting my Plan




Let's Reverse Obesity with John Bukenas show

Summary: In this episode I will be discussing a new weight loss hypnosis app available for your iPhone I will also give you an update of where I have been in the last month and my plans for the future. But first, I want to tell you that This episode is sponsored by Zen Runner.  Zen Runner has the Slow Runners Club podcast about runners who do not have the need for speed.  Zen and his co-host Eddie Marathon talk about their love of running.  They travel all over and run in events and they tell all these great stories about their travels.  I’ll tell you what, they make me want to run. Yes, it makes me want to run. Not that I can run, because of my knees, but it makes me want to run. You can also follow Zen on Facebook and Twitter. I want to thank Zen for his contribution to the show. How to Become a Show Sponsor Now I put my content out there and it's pay what you think it's worth. If it's worth nothing, then pay nothing. If you believe it's worth something and you're tight on cash, hey, take it for free. But if you want to make a financial contribution then I would be grateful for your support. So after the last episode I installed a neat donation widget on the website where you could donate if you want.  Now this is the first time I am mentioning this widget.  Well I get an email that someone made a donation, out of the blue.  It was Zen.  I was shocked, and humbled. So as things in my life goes, the widget I used all of a sudden disappeared off of my site.  I guess programer the stopped supporting the widget and it “Poof” just disappeared. So I went back and found a Pay Pal Buy Button so if you want, you can become a show producer too.  I will announce all producers on the show.  All you have to do is go to the right side bar there is a virtual tip jar and you can pick an option and make a donation. But Zen was the first show sponsor and you know what they say, “You never forget your first.” Weight Loss Hypnosis App Yes there is an App for that.  I found a weight loss hypnosis App for my iphone I have been using this for the past few weeks.  Now I’m not too sure on how effective it is for weight loss, but what I will tell you if you have issues falling asleep at night this App is for you.  Most nights when I try to go to sleep my head is swimming with information.  My brain will not shut down.  But when I listen to this App I go out like a light.  They also say that even though you are asleep, that your subconscious is still listening and is processing the information. There is a free version and a paid version.  I recommend the paid version.  It’s only $2.99 and it unlocks some features.  The free version has a bit of a lengthy intro you can disable with the paid version.  That is worth the $2.99, trust me. This is right from the App’s website: “By changing your subconscious thoughts, the Lose Weight with Hypnosis app helps you lose weight permanently and easily. Studies show that by adding hypnosis to a weight loss program, participants lost more weight than those who didn’t receive hypnosis. And they kept it off, even years later. After listening to this app for just 20 minutes daily for one to three weeks, you’ll begin to notice how much you enjoy eating healthy food and exercising. And before you know it, you aren’t even trying to lose weight — it just happens naturally.” Now I have to be honest.  I haven’t hit that “Enjoy healthy food and Exercising” phase yet, but I do listen to this every night and it puts me into a very deep sleep.  The only thing I did notice was the other day I heard a bell ring and I barked like dog for a minute, but besides that I do recommend the App. (The barking like a dog statement was a joke) So I’m sure many of you have been wondering what’s up with John?  He puts out 3 weekly episodes in a row and takes a month’s vacation. One of the things I need to do is communicate better with you.  If I can get a podcast out, then I need to write a blog post,
