Sheila Granger joins us again at the 2026 UKHC. Sheila will present “The New Weight-Loss Conversation: Working Confidently in the GLP-1 Era” for Saturday’s stellar all-female main stage line-up.
The Presentation:
Session structure and language patterns you can use immediately
GLP-1 medications have changed the weight-loss landscape, and they’ve changed the conversations clients bring into the therapy room. “Food noise”, fear of regain, emotional eating creeping back in, and uncertainty about what happens when medication reduces or ends are now everyday themes.
In this practical, demonstration-led session, I’ll share what I’ve learned from 17 years specialising in weight-loss hypnotherapy and translate it into a modern, ethical approach for the GLP-1 era. A key theme is this: for many people, GLP-1s can create rapid change, but they may feel they’ve borrowed control rather than learned it. When that borrowed control reduces, the old patterns can rush back unless we help clients build internal regulation and a stable maintenance identity.
You’ll experience a live Food-Noise Downshift demonstration and learn rapid techniques to settle the nervous system, reduce urge intensity, and move clients out of “autopilot eating”. We’ll explore clean, effective hypnotic language that strengthens choice, consistency, and self-leadership, so clients don’t just lose weight, they learn how to keep it off.
Everyone will leave with a simple, repeatable session structure and ready-to-use language they can apply immediately with GLP-1 users, GLP-1 “exit” clients, and those choosing a non-medicated route.
