Spring Into Shape with Hypnosis

Now that winter’s over it’s time to get back into shape, especially before bathing suit season. Diet and exercise alone can be a real struggle, however, there is remarkable tool that can help anyone achieve weight loss and keep it off — hypnosis. 

Healthy change starts in the mind. Attitudes toward ourselves and food lead to our behaviors and physical health. If we can get beneath the surface and look at the 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. At the Hypnosis Counseling Center, we assess the client’s past experiences and current patterns to identify the subconscious elements that contribute to unhealthy attitudes and develop a plan tailored to the client’s needs. Each client receives a personalized audio tape that reaffirms the positive messages needed to get healthier each day. 

Joseph, after losing 105 pounds, 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 works. 

Location: 28 Mine St., Flemington with additional offices in Princeton and Livingston. For more information, call 908-303-7767 and visit HypnosisCounselingCenter.com. 

In-Print News Briefs May 2023
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.
