Why is it important to seek personalized weight-loss support?
In addition to aesthetic reasons, there are also medical reasons for weight loss or diet rebalancing (cardiovascular disease, diabetes).
Weight loss is assessed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account physiological data, the patient's problems, lifestyle and other factors (stress, sedentary lifestyle, sleep, genetic predisposition, hormonal disorders, unbalanced microbiota, etc.).
All these parameters are essential for the implementation of an adapted, effective and sustainable program.
The objectives and protocol will therefore be different for each person.
Firstly, during a nutrition consultation, we assess the person's needs.
Nutrition consultation for adapted weight loss
- Analysis of your typical day in terms of food and your last blood test.
- Anamnesis, which consists of asking a number of questions about your medical history and lifestyle, in order to establish your profile.
- This is complemented by a measurement of your physiological data with an impedance meter scale, so that we can set a realistic target and precisely monitor the effectiveness of the protocol.
- The therapist will then work with you to set up an action plan with tailor-made nutritional recommendations and, if necessary, a prescription for food supplements.
- To achieve the best results, follow-up over several sessions is generally necessary. Between each consultation, your nutritionist will answer any questions you may have by email.

If necessary, the therapist may recommend parallel work on factors that could be linked to weight gain (stress, sleep, etc.).
It's also vital to combine physical activity with a balanced diet. We can also advise you on this point and monitor your efforts during your follow-up sessions.

Successful weight loss: acting on the cause
Often, weight loss is compromised for psychological reasons (stress, addictions, hang-ups...).
These issues need to be addressed in order to achieve your weight loss goals.
As mentioned above, weight management can be hampered by a number of factors.
These factors need to be determined with the utmost care in order to obtain the best results.
In sophrology, every protocol begins with a lengthy anamnesis session designed to better understand you, your demands and your needs. The aim is to determine the source(s) of your weight management problems. These may relate to your motivations, a lack of self-confidence or self-esteem, or the stress and anxiety that can sometimes lead to compulsive eating.
As the sessions progress, and as you evolve, the protocol is adjusted to meet your needs as closely as possible.
Each protocol is unique and tailor-made for the patient. It consists of personalized breathing and dynamic relaxation exercises, as well as "sophronizations", which will help you to achieve true well-being and greater awareness of body and mind.
With the help of simple exercises, the regular practice of sophrology will enable you to face the challenges of weight management with greater serenity and confidence, while filling you with vitality.
Sophrology is an effective practice with immediate benefits, which requires regular training, known as sophro-training, outside the sessions with the therapist, for deep, lasting effects.

Our bodies are designed to adapt and defend themselves against traumatic or emotional aggression. But when an aggression exceeds our body's ability to defend itself, our body remembers it. Weight gain can be linked to an emotional block recorded by our body.
The therapist uses light stimulation of the body, or "micropalpations", to find the traces left in the body by these aggressions. He dates them approximately.
These micropalpations stimulate self-correction mechanisms and trigger the process of restoring their functions.
