Renee Stephens, PhD

Specialties

Renee specializes in changing the «why» behind overeating, so that lasting weight loss feels natural and easy. A former food addict and binge eater, she taught her self to become Naturally Slender more than 15 years ago and now dedicates herself to helping others.

She has found that no matter the diet, if the cause of overeating has not been addressed and released, the behavior will not change permanently. Using techniques including Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), hypnosis, and positive psychology, Renee’s Inside Out Weight Loss program is rapid and effective. Most clients need 9 — 18 sessions.

While Renee’s program focuses on ending the weight struggle, when the underlying causes of the struggle are addressed and released, many seemingly unrelated areas of one’s life also improve. The program is particularly effective in ending emotional overeating, changing the inner dialog, fostering self-​compassion, and often has the side effect of enhancing spiritual growth.

Renee’s program is not a diet, nutritional or exercise plan and because of the deep and thorough nature of the intervention, it is not suitable for those looking for quick weight loss.

The program is suitable for those looking for a lasting solution and willing to transform the underlying causes of their weight struggle.

History

Established in 2001.

A health and career crisis caused Renee Stephens, PhD to quit her business career and follow her own soul’s calling, which was to study human motivation. Shortly into her studies, she had an epiphany. Her life’s work was to use the tools she was learning to end her own weight struggle and help others do the same. Her first clients were fellow students, and her practice quickly grew. She works with clients both by phone and in person.

Her audio podcast «Inside Out Weight Loss» has been the top weight loss podcast on iTunes since it’s inception in 2007, with over 4 million downloads, and she is the author of «Full-​Filled: The 6 Week Plan for Changing Your Relationship with Food – and Your Life – from the Inside Out» (Simon and Schuster, 2012).
