About The Course
Are there any additional costs after I sign up?
No. The Comfort Eating Solution⢠is a complete, self-contained 12-week program. Once you sign up, there are no hidden costs.
You also have two private one-to-one sessions with Clem included in the program. You can choose whether to:
-
Meet Clem first, then begin the program, or
-
Start the program right away, and schedule the two one-to-one sessions as you go through the weeks.
Sometimes, deeper emotional challenges can surface during the program. These are not setbacks â they are opportunities to resolve the very issues that may have been driving binge eating or cravings for years.
Often, these are the very patterns that have made weight loss and healthy eating feel impossible in the past, especially under stress, anxiety, or difficult situations.
If such challenges arise before youâve had your one-to-one sessions, Clem can use those sessions to help you work through and resolve them.
If youâve already used your two included sessions and find yourself facing additional, long-standing issues, you may benefit from an extra one-to-one session with Clem. These are separate from the program cost, but they can be truly life-changing. By tackling long-standing emotional blocks head-on, you clear the path for lasting success â not just in food and weight loss, but in your overall confidence and wellbeing.
While this is outside the program cost, it can be life-changing to clear the deeper blocks that have kept you stuck in the past â ensuring you succeed not just in this program, but in maintaining lasting results.
Clem specializes in uncovering and resolving suppressed emotions, often unnoticed but exposed as you take control of your eating. Tackling these head-on will ease your journey and set you up for lasting success. If needed, consider an extra session to overcome long-standing barriers and ensure your transformation.
Â
Is this program suitable for people with specific dietary restrictions or health conditions?
Yes, this program is suitable for individuals with specific dietary restrictions or health conditions. While the program promotes healthy eating, it does not dictate exactly what you should eat based on your personal preferences. Clem believes that, deep down, you already know what healthy food is and what it isnâtâoften, itâs the basic lessons passed down from parents and grandparents.
The program does, however, focus on the impact of ultra-processed foods (UPFs), including those high in sugar and junk foods, and how they affect your body, particularly your gut health. This focus has proven especially beneficial for individuals with conditions like diabetes or pre-diabetes. Itâs also extremely helpful for those with food intolerances, allergies, or digestive complaints.
While the program doesnât tell you what to eat, it does offer guidance on when to eat, keeping in mind the flexibility for your specific health needs.
If youâre taking medication that requires specific food intake, always follow your healthcare providerâs advice.
Clemâs approach emphasizes that health comes first, and weight loss follows naturally when your relationship with food is in balance.
This program is particularly effective in helping you remove the compulsion to overeat or binge, allowing you to gain a stronger understanding of what your body truly needs and how to nourish it.
How much time do I need to dedicate each week to the program?
The Comfort Eating Solution⢠is designed to fit into your daily life without overwhelming you. On average, youâll need about one hour per day â usually split into two 30-minute sessions to listen to your hypnosis audios. Thatâs all you need to stay on track.
If you want to put in a little extra, you can add another 30 minutes, but one hour a day is plenty to see real progress.
đ On your first day, youâll have a little more to do: the Introduction Module plus two short preparation videos â âProgram Preparationâ and âHow to Listen to Hypnosis Audios.â These are important, as they set you up to get the most benefit from the hypnosis work.
If youâre tight on time, donât worry â you can dive straight into the hypnosis audio and catch up with the videos the next day (or within 2â3 days).
Thereâs nothing to fear and no âwrongâ way to begin. Just know that this program works best when you give it your full focus and attention. Itâs not about ticking boxes â itâs about letting your mind absorb new ideas and noticing how quickly your perception of food, your body, and your habits begin to shift.
Set out to enjoy the experience. The more you enjoy it, the more your mind opens up to lasting change.

Hypnos: Problems with listening
Why do I have to listen to the same hypnos for a week?
So this is a common question that I get, because sometimes you might feel you've got the information if you listen to the Hyp nose once, and you've really got the information when you've listened twice. So why do you have to keep on listening to it for seven days (which is the recommendation)?
The reason is simply because how your brain receives information.
The purpose of the hypnos is not to inform you in the same way as if you're listening to a podcast. You can listen to the hypnos actively, or passively, as I explained in the âHow to listen to Hypnosis Audiosâ video. But my recommendation, is as much as possible, I want you to listen actively.
The conversational hypnosis technique used for the hypnosis, allows you to just dive straight in and listen without any big orientation or preparation. And in order to make the information stick in your brain, I've made the information deliberately interesting, visual, intriguing â presented in a way that you may not have considered, or heard before.
This is how you get information to stick.
It's very difficult to get new information into your brain, because your brain already knows, what it knows. And when you present new information, on a topic that your brain is already familiar with, your brain resists receiving that information.
So when you listen to the hypnotises audios the first time, Iâm looking to stimulate your brain into going âooh, thatâs interesting.. I never thought of it that wayâ. So the information stimulates your brain at the conscious, or analytical level.
When you listen to hypnosis audio again the second time, you get a similar reaction about a different piece of information on that audio. Because your interest was triggered by certain images are information on your first listen, it didn't quite catch other images or information. However these are more likely to be detected on the second and even third listen.
But once you're into day four, day five and so on, your conscious mind is less stimulated by this new information. Because the new information is beginning to become familiar. And through repeated listening your brain accepts this information into the deeper part of your mind. It starts to get into your long-term memory, the subconscious part of your mind. This is where information is absorbed, and change in behaviour occurs automatically. So you could say the first half of the week is about taking the information in consciously, and the second half of the week, is where you're taking the information in subconsciously.
This is what is required to help your brain receive new information.
If you only listen to the Hypnos once or twice, or even three times. Your brain will still be stimulated, but this will be the conscious, or analytical part of your brain. This is the short term memory part. This is not the part that really changes a behaviour.
For example you already know consciously enlarged Ley what you need to eat what you should or shouldn't do, but the deep part of you the subconscious emotional part is what has been driving your behaviour up to now.
This is where we need the new information to reside.
Influencing your behaviour and desire at the deep emotional level.
What if I keep falling asleep while listening to the hypnos?
If you are falling asleep when listening to the hypnos - constantly or frequently. There are predominantly two reasons for this.
Tiredness
The first is that you are tired. It may be you are very busy, and you're always active whether that's with work activities. family responsibilities, house chores. That you're using a lot of energy to get through your day. So when you do manage to settle down and chill put for 30 minutes, you're gone â that's it you fall asleep. In this case you need to look at the space that you're giving this program in your daily life. Ask yourself are you preparing yourself to get the best from the program?
For example if you started a new job, or you were beginning a part-time university course, and if you kept falling asleep while at work or while you're trying to study for your course, what would you do? Immediately youâd recognise that something needs to change in order to be successful.
You might look at your sleeping patterns. Are you going to bed late at night, are you getting up very early in the morning. Are you doing both? How is the quality of your sleep? What can you do to make sure you are adequately rested so that you can be at your best during the day?
So if you're sleeping pattern is not as effective as it should be, then your body will let you know by making you sleep anytime you sit down to relax. Donât fight this. Understand it and take steps to resolve it.
Focus & Concentration
The second reason why you might keep falling asleep by listening to the hypnosis, is that you're having difficulty focusing or concentrating on the material. There can be a few reasons for this. One reason could be, that you are not proficient with the skill of actively listening. Now if you still don't understand what that means, go back and watch the open "How to Listen to Hypnosis Audios "video, because I go into great detail to explain it there.
Another reason is that you may genuinely have issues with focus and concentration. You may be someone who struggles to listen, or take information in. Because that information is competing with your thoughts, or overthinking tendency. This can be a result of stress or an anxiety, or maybe there's something on your mind that you're worrying about. If this is the case, then keep practising listening actively to the material.
Don't worry if you're issues with focus and concentration seem to be preventing you from taking all the information in. By constantly actively listening to the material, using imagery and sensation, as I describe in the "How to Listen to Hypnosis Audios "video, you are exercising and developing a psychological muscle that you don't normally use. By repeating this exercise you will notice a dramatic change in your effective listening ability as the weeks progress.
A benefit of this, is that you will find you also improve your ability to listen to people around you, and your ability to take in information generally in work or for educational purposes. Another huge benefit is that by learning to focus outward and receive new information, you also learn to reduce your overthinking, which also improves your stress levels, any anxiety that you might have, and you may even find your sleep patterns and your quality of sleep improves.
Listening is a real skill, that no one really teaches us. So if we don't pick up that skill naturally, or learn it in our environment as we grow up, then we never learn that skill, and we never develop that part that psychological tool.
So if focus and concentration are genuine issues, listening to hypnosis audios regularly, and this is important - by putting extra effort into listening actively twice a day, you will find a dramatic increase in your ability to listen within a few weeks.
So really anytime you sit down to listen to the hypnos, for lets say 20-30mins, and you canât stay awake. Then this is a real sign that something needs your attention.
Remember, you don't have to lie down or assume a meditative position, you can just sit down on a standard chair at a desk or kitchen table and just listen for 30 minutes. If this is the case, and while you are working to resolve your sleeping pattern, or working to enhance your concentration and focus skills, remember you can also listen to these audios âpassivelyâ, while you are doing other activities. Such as while you're going for a walk during lunchtime or in the evening, or if you're doing some housework. And a lot of people listen to these hypnos also while driving, just like they're listening to a podcast.
So âpassive listeningâ is an option, and an alternative. It can help to enhance the listening experience and simply get the information into your brain. But listening listening âactivelyâ is the most effective way to create change. So keep working on this.
What if I struggle to listen to the hypnos twice a day?
This is another common question that I get. We all have busy lives, we all have competing priorities, and we have all got things going on and things that happen that can detract from what we want to do, and what we should do.
The best advice I can give you is to really make this an important, and central priority in your daily life. As I say especially for the first six weeks (or six transformation modules). Because if you've done it for six weeks now you're onto a really good start, and you've given yourself the best chance for long-term success.
So on a day-to-day basis if you don't get the opportunity to listen to both Hypnosis each day, don't worry, don't fret, and especially do not be hard on yourself. If you miss a day then find a way to make sure that you listen to the hypnos the next day.
If you miss two days make sure get it done on the third day. If you can't listen to 2 every day try to make sure that you listen to at least one.
We all absorb information in a different way. how you listen to the hypnosis, the commitment that you give high listening, is just as important as the frequency with which you listen. So if you struggle to listen to both every day, or if you miss a day, or even if you miss two days, when you do listen, make sure you listen actively â and really get the most out of that session. And again how to actively listen is explained in the â How to listen to hypnosis audiosâ video in the Introduction module.
If you struggle to make time to listen to the hypnosis most days, are regularly, then you will really need to look at how your structuring your day, and how you're prioritising this program. My recommendation is plan ahead adjust your competing priorities and make this activity an important part of your day, as I said even if that's just especially for the first six weeks or six transformation module. As much as possible try not to relegate this program to something that you fit in, or squeeze in last thing at night.
How you commit to this program, Will determine your success. There really is no other way around there. So do your best.
How Does Hypnosis Work?
Do I need to be âsusceptibleâ to hypnosis?
Firstly, we are all susceptible to hypnosis. That is, especially if you choose to embrace what is being suggested. Hypnosis is simply a focused state of awareness that enables you to accept information that you would not be open to or able to accept while in your more familiar states. For example, if you are driving, shopping or even walking down a street, you are occupying a completely different state of awareness that includes, among others, a state of alertness â in case you make a mistake or hurt yourself.
While in this state your ability to access deep thought and emotions is restricted. This is because your environment is demanding more of your attention - thereâs a lot going on around you and your mind is âtuned inâ to a lot of what is happening.
During an hypnotic state, you are completely safe and secure and you can therefore completely divert your focus inward. Itâs the opposite of being outdoors, driving, shopping, working or socialising - youâre alone, youâre safe, you have set yourself up in a situation where you wonât be disturbed, and therefore you can âtune outâ of all the things that are going on in your life, or the things happening outside of where you are, and you can âtune inâ to a singular focus - into as little as possible.
In this situation, you can be guided to a much deeper level of self-awareness and subconscious thought. Your thinking, and even over-thinking can be bypassed and your subconscious (or emotional) mind can focus on things like imagery, sensation, emotion and feeling. Your brain can receive new or updated information that will enable you to change an unwanted behaviour or habit.
Put simply; hypnosis is as dangerous as daydreaming. Which can be dangerous if youâre driving or operating machinery, but completely harmless when seated and secure in a relaxing environment.
You donât have to concerns yourself with susceptibility. The techniques used in this program are nothing like what you might see (or think you see) when you watch a stage hypnotist working with volunteers at a stage show. There is a lot more happening there than you can observe. Which is one of the reasons why many stage magicians have also incorporated stage hypnosis into their shows. Like the card tricks that they specialise in, the sleight of hand deception techniques - what you see is not quite what is happening. But I wonât go into that here.
Suffice to say, susceptibility is not an issue, particularly with the type of hypnosis techniques that I use here. âListeningâ is the key. The whole program is dependant on your willingness to openly accept the information. Th more you open your mind to the information, the easier your brain receives that new information, and the faster and more effective the changes that occur.
So if youâre willing to listen, and youâre willing to learn how to listen even more effectively, then this program, and the hypnosis techniques will work for you without any problem.
Hypnos v Hypnosis Sessions
Also, note that there are two quite different ways in which I present the hypnosis information in this program. For the hypnos (hypnosis audios), I use a very simple âconversational hypnosisâ technique, where you can listen to the content both âactivelyâ and âpassivelyâ. This is all explained in detail in the âHow to Listen to Hypnosis Audiosâ video in the Introduction module.
For the hypnosis regression sessions, in the Binge Eating Trigger - REVEAL⢠program, I use a much more immersive technique. Again, all the details are presented to you, that is everything that you need to know and what you need to do, itâs all there in the three âWhat is Hypnosis?â videos in the Introduction module.
Hypnosis is a technique that enables your mind to access a state of awareness where it is open to receiving new information. Once this new information has been received, your behaviour will alter in line with that new information.
How does hypnosis work?
Hypnosis is a technique that enables your mind to access a state of awareness where it is open to receiving new information. Once this new information has been received, your behaviour will alter in line with that new information.
Your mind does not receive new information easily. For example, letâs say that the old out-of-date information is that eating chocolate makes you feel good / or stops you from feeling too bad. But the new updated information is based on the realization that eating chocolate is actually making you feel really bad about yourself (weight problems, self-esteem etc). Then realizing this should mean that you discard the old information and embrace the new perspective. But thatâs not what happens!
The reason is that once your mind learns something, it doesnât easily change. Old information that has existed for a long time gets stored in your subconscious (or emotional) mind. This âknowledgeâ creates a feeling or desire that matches the old information â it becomes part of your long-term memory, it becomes âwhat you know!â.
Your logical or critical mind then protects this knowledge against new information that threatens to change it. It is this part of your mind, by preventing new information from accessing your subconscious mind that makes it so difficult to change a behaviour.
Hypnosis is a technique that can bypass the critical or protective factor and allow your emotional or subconscious mind to receive the updated information. Once this information is in, then it too stays in and becomes part of your long-term memory. The result is that the change associated with the new, updated information becomes habitual â and this change is reflected in your new updated behaviour.
Is hypnosis completely safe?
Hypnosis is simply a focused state of awareness that enables you to accept information that you would not be open to or able to accept while in your more familiar states. For example, if you are driving, shopping or even walking down a street, you are occupying a completely different state of awareness that includes, among others, a state of alertness â in case you make a mistake or hurt yourself. While in this state your ability to access deep thought and emotions is restricted. This is because your environment is demanding more of your attention.
During an hypnotic state, you are completely safe and secure and you can therefore completely divert your focus inward. With the help of a trained professional, your mind can then be guided to a much deeper level of self-awareness and subconscious thought where the conscious mind (or critical factor) can be bypassed and your subconscious (or emotional) mind can receive new or updated information that will enable you to change an unwanted behaviour or habit.
Put simply; hypnosis is as dangerous as daydreaming. Which can be dangerous if youâre driving or operating machinery, but completely harmless when seated and secure in a relaxing environment.
After any hypnosis session, you are perfectly capable of driving home, returning to work or just going back to what you were doing before the session.
How can hypnosis change eating habits and eating addictions?
Hypnosis is the fastest and most effective way to eliminate or change unwanted habits and behaviours. All bad habits are emotional, they are not logical. Logically you are aware of the negative effects of continuing to eat so much chocolate or junk food or constantly picking or grazing. How they effect your self-esteem, your confidence, and of course your weight and physical health. But emotionally, you just want what you want. So you have it⌠simple!
When you donât want junk food or donât have that desire to constantly eat, then food is not a problem, because you are not depriving yourself. You can only deprive yourself of something that you want⌠you cannot deprive yourself of something that you do not want! When you do not want chocolate, or junk food, you avoid the cravings and the feelings of deprivation.
Hypnosis changes your habit or addiction at the âwantâ level. No âwantâ means no craving!
In the past, when you tried to stop your âbad habitâ, all you really did is stop giving yourself what you wanted. This is not very effective. I always say that at the emotional level, you are just like a child. Have you ever noticed that when you refuse to give your child that treat that they want, how they develop a singular focus (and often an accompanying tantrum) that will not stop until they finally get what they want? You are the same. The more you donât give yourself what you (know you) want â the more you crave it!
Not wanting the chocolate or the food is a very different experience than what you may have encountered previously when you just wouldnât allow yourself to have it, and you relied on distraction or willpower. Staying busy, going to the gym each day, whatever it took.
Why do we have bad habits?
Smoking causes cancer, heart attacks, and stroke and generally shortens both your life and your quality of life. Chocolate and junk food make you gain weight. In fact, you refer to habits as âbadâ because you are very aware of their destructive consequences. So why do you still engage in such behaviours?
The answer is centred around how your mind is organised.
For example, if you think of your mind as having two parts: a logical part and an emotional part. It is the emotional part that directs your behaviour, the logical part tends to just criticize that behaviour, but doesnât alter it. Hence, knowing that eating junk food will cause you to gain weight and make you unhappy does not stop you from eating junk food, instead, it seems to just provide you with an excuse to beat yourself up about the chocolate bar that you just had⌠after you just had it!
The emotional part of your mind creates the desire to eat chocolate, or smoke, or drink alcohol, but the desire to not do it also exists. In the end, what you do reflects your strongest desire. Put simply, you behave the way you do because your feelings for wanting to do it are stronger than your feelings for not wanting to do it.
How can hypnosis help?
Hypnosis can change how you feel about the habit or behaviour. Hypnosis involves influencing the emotional part of your mind to make your feelings for not wanting to do something become much stronger than your feelings for wanting to do it. Thatâs it!
When you donât want the chocolate or the junk food, you are not depriving yourself â so you avoid the cravings and feelings of deprivation. This is very different from what youâve experienced in the past when you just stopped!
