Reshape Your Subconscious Eating Habits

"Unless you can change your mind about what you eat, why you eat, and the amount you are eating, there is nothing in the world that can change your love for food."

Obesity is not simply a metabolic condition; it is heavily influenced by neural wiring and psychological habits. Because hunger is genetically wired, it is one of the most difficult emotions to control. Standard diets fail because they ignore the underlying psychological patterns of stress-eating, environmental triggers, and emotional dependency.

Our psychotherapy course targets the root-cause factors of weight gain. Through weekly group therapy, combined with monthly progress reviews conducted by Dr. Lydmila Shchukina, clients address the subconscious patterns that govern their appetite and learn to build healthy, easy-going, and non-obsessive eating habits. (Individual 1-on-1 psychotherapy is available as a separate package).

Consultation Image

"Through Psychotherapy my relationship with food had to change. I knew in this season the issue we have to address as women was food. During consultation Dr. Shchukina said to me hunger is genetically wired, it's the most difficult emotion to control. Unless you can change your mind about what you eat, why you eat and the amount you are eating, there's nothing in the world that can change your love for ugali."
