“I have been on many weight loss programs over the years, but this was completely different. I lost 15 pounds and began sleeping better, feeling calmer, and feeling more positive overall. I realized how much stress had been affecting my eating habits. I now feel like I finally have control again and I actually look forward to the future.”

Why Weight Loss Feels So Emotionally Exhausting
You wake up motivated. You want to make healthier choices. You want more energy. You want to feel better in your body. You want this time to finally work. Then life begins happening.
Stress. Emotional overload. Poor sleep. Work pressure. Family responsibilities. Negativity. Exhaustion. Mental fatigue.
As the day progresses, emotional energy and willpower often begin dropping while cravings become stronger and louder.
This is where many people begin feeling trapped in a cycle they no longer feel fully in control of.
People often describe:
constantly thinking about food
emotionalized eating
nighttime eating
sugar cravings
stress eating
eating for comfort
feeling frustrated afterward
repeatedly starting over
At Body & Mind, we understand this cycle deeply because this is what we have helped people work through for over 30 years.
Our process focuses on helping:
reduce cravings
strengthen willpower
reduce stress
improve emotional control
reinforce healthier thinking
support healthier lifestyle habits
so there is more “wiggle room” between cravings and emotional decision-making throughout the day.
“I never realized how connected my emotions and eating patterns were until starting this program. I stopped turning to ice cream, snacks, and unhealthy foods when stressed. I became more emotionally balanced, more confident, and more comfortable with myself. My relationship with food completely changed and my family noticed the difference almost immediately.”
Michelle R.
“Right from my first session, I felt different about food and about myself. Foods that normally appealed to me suddenly had less control over me. I became more positive in every part of my life and this program changed far more than just my weight.”

We Change The Balance
Typical Day — Small Wiggle Room
With Body & Mind — More Wiggle Room
Typical Day — Small Wiggle Room
With Body & Mind — More Wiggle Room
Why This Matters
More Willpower. Less Cravings. More Control. Better Choices.
They struggle because stress, exhaustion, emotional overload, and daily life gradually weaken willpower while cravings become stronger throughout the day.
When cravings stay high and emotional stress increases, even small triggers can begin pulling people toward:
sugar, snacking, overeating, comfort foods, nighttime eating, emotionalized eating patterns
Our Body & Mind process is designed to change that balance.
By helping reduce cravings while strengthening emotional control and positivity, healthier choices begin feeling more natural, more comfortable, and easier to maintain consistently.
This creates more “wiggle room” between cravings and willpower — helping people feel calmer, stronger, and more in control around food.
“Meeting with Rick changed my life. I completely stopped drinking diet pop, had no desire for unhealthy food, and began craving exercise. I lost 8 lbs in the first 3 weeks and 11 inches. Rick is amazing and I would recommend him to anyone.”

How Our System Works
Reduce Cravings
Our specialized cool-light laser process is designed to help reduce cravings and support appetite control naturally.
The laser is gently applied to targeted acupuncture pressure points on the hands, ears, and metabolism-support areas as part of our proprietary Body & Mind system.
Many people describe feeling:
calmer around food
less emotionally reactive to cravings
more comfortable with smaller portions
less focused on constant snacking
more emotionally balanced around eating
Strengthen Willpower & Emotional Control
Professional clinical hypnosis helps reinforce healthier thinking patterns, emotional balance, positivity, motivation, and stronger behavioural habits.
Every session is professionally recorded so the reinforcement process continues at home between visits.
Over time, many people begin noticing they feel:
mentally stronger
calmer
more positive
more focused
more emotionally balanced around food
Reduce Stress & Emotional Overload
Stress affects:
cravings
eating behaviour
emotional patterns
motivation
sleep
energy
willpower
As stress begins decreasing, many people notice:
improved emotional balance
clearer thinking
improved sleep
more energy
healthier choices becoming easier
“No one craves celery sticks when they are stressed out.”
— Rick Saruna
Positive Reinforcement & Support
Long-term lifestyle change happens through:
reinforcement
repetition
emotional support
positivity
accountability
guidance
encouragement
Our program includes repeated visits, reinforcement recordings, coaching, and support throughout the process.
Many clients say one of the biggest differences at Body & Mind is finally feeling understood instead of judged.
More Wiggle Room = Better Choices
easier
more natural
more automatic
more sustainable
The goal is creating a healthier, more balanced life that feels realistic and maintainable long-term.
“In six weeks I lost 19 pounds. The weight loss was not the only benefit. I became calmer, more relaxed, and developed a better outlook on my life and what I could achieve. I now feel like I have healthier tools for life.”

Real People. Real Results.
“I finally stopped constantly thinking about food all day long. I feel calmer, more in control, and healthier choices feel easier now.”
“This was the first program that actually helped me understand why I was emotionally eating. The cravings became quieter and I stopped feeling trapped in the same cycle.”
“I noticed the biggest difference at night. Instead of stress eating and snacking constantly, I felt more balanced and more comfortable around food.”
“The support made all the difference. I never felt judged. I felt understood, encouraged, and supported throughout the entire process.”
“Rick has been great. I lost 20 lbs in less than 2 months without really trying. I no longer crave sweets and now feel full and satisfied. I still enjoy restaurants and going out, but healthier choices feel easier and more natural now.”
Lorie C.
“I used to sit on the couch and avoid exercise. Now I feel motivated to be active every day. I stopped grabbing chocolate and unhealthy snacks and feel better than I have in years. My energy, motivation, and outlook on life completely changed.”
Nancus C.
“15 lbs in 6 weeks! It is amazing, it is not a diet, more how to live. It is not hard, just more concentration on why and what to eat. I am more positive and walk with more energy. The reinforcement recordings are very relaxing. I feel as if I found myself and losing weight is not hopeless.”
