## Resource

In this episode of The Holistic GLP-1 Podcast, we delve into the fascinating intersection between hypnosis, mindset and GLP-1 technology with our guest Rita Black. Rita is a renowned hypnotherapist and cognitive coach who has spent nearly two decades helping people rewire their subconscious minds to break free from the patterns that keep them stuck.
