There are many reasons weight management may be a priority for you. Perhaps you’ve been advised to work towards a healthier weight for prevention or management of illness, maybe you want to get in shape as part of your pre-conception maternity plan or, most likely, you’re unhappy with your body. Whatever the case, for a lot of people losing weight is a real challenge.

NeuroSlimming is completely different to any other weight loss program anywhere in the world. It provides the missing piece in the weight loss puzzle by addressing the key factor that has been ignored by the entire weight loss industry: the role of the brain.

Click here to listen to 702’s Breakfast Radio interview with neuroscientist and author of NeuroSlimming Helena Popovic, who says slimming down is just as much about your brain, as it is your body. She explains how the ways we think and feel while eating can affect the ways our body absorbs food and allocates fat resources.

NeuroSlimming is founded on the principles of Neuroplasticity: the science of changing the brain to change the body. It is not about diets, exercise, motivation, mindset, willpower or positive psychology. It goes much deeper into the very essence of how our brain cells communicate with each other and with the rest of the body to influence our appetite, assimilation of food, metabolism, weight set-point and weight distribution.

This ground-breaking, research-based approach is known as Neuro-slimming and was developed by Dr Helena Popovic MBBS, leading authority on brain function and how our lifestyles impact our health and performance.

The brain is our control centre. Every other part of our body follows the instructions, directions and signals sent out by the brain. It doesn’t matter if you have a slow metabolism, a genetic predisposition to putting on weight or a frenetic lifestyle that lends itself to weight gain. It doesn’t matter if you have no idea why you haven’t achieved your desired body weight because NeuroSlimming addresses the underlying source of the issue and provides you with a mind plan not a meal plan.

NeuroSlimming is about living not dieting and fun not force. It’s about feeding your spirit, not starving your body.

If you would like to lose weight and keep it off without rigid, restrictive, gruelling regimes, we invite you to join us for this extraordinary weekend.

Dr Helena Popovic is a medical doctor, leading authority on how to improve brain function, international speaker and best-selling author. She is unique in bringing the latest discoveries in brain science to the field of weight management and she is the founder of a groundbreaking weight loss program called Winning at Slimming – thinking the light way.

Helena’s philosophy is that education is more powerful than medication and she believes in slow ageing despite fast living. She has been paving the way for a new paradigm in peak health for peak performance and is passionate about empowering people to live longer, stronger, healthier and happier.

Helena is the author of the inspiring book, In Search of My Father – Dementia is no match for a daughter’s determination, and her latest book NeuroSlimming – let your brain change your body.
