Spring into Shape with Hypnosis

If you’ve been hibernating all winter, now is the time to get back into shape. For many, attempting to lose weight means unsafe and ineffective yo-yo dieting. Through hypnosis, however, people can effectively break this cycle. Barry Wolfson, MS, the director of the Hypnosis Counseling Center in Flemington, has seen the profound difference hypnosis can make in a person’s life.

The problem lies not in the body, but the mind. Attitudes toward ourselves and food lead to our behaviors and resulting physical health.  If we can get beneath the surface and look at psychological factors involved, we can change our relationship with food forever.  Hypnosis teaches how to eat satisfying, healthy meals, get to an ideal weight and stay there.  In fact, it’s been proven the most effective way to lose weight in studies done by Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Mt Sinai, Dr. Oz and Dateline NBC.

At the Hypnosis Counseling Center, they assess your past experiences your current patterns.  They identify the subconscious elements that contribute to unhealthy attitudes and develop a plan unique to your needs.  Each client receives a personalized audio tape that reaffirms the positive messages needed to get healthier each day.

Imagine putting down the guilt-and-reward approach to weight loss, enjoying a variety of foods again and seeing the pounds you want to lose drop away!  After losing 105 pounds, Barry’s client Joseph writes, “I feel confident that I am not going to gain back the weight. I wish I had attended this class years sooner!”

Hypnosis is safe, medically approved, and best of all, it works. In addition to weight loss, the center also provides classes to help people build confidence, overcome anxiety and quit smoking. If you have the desire to make positive changes in your life, achieve your goals through hypnosis.

Location: Hypnosis Counseling Center, 28 Mine Street, Flemington. Dr. Wolfson also has offices in Princeton, Livingston, King of Prussia, PA and Ft. Myers, FL.  For more information, call 908-303-7767 or visit HypnosisNJ.com.

Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
