Please note: it is not advisable to use hypnosis if you have psychosis or certain types of personality disorder, as it could make your condition worse.
In the UK, hypnotherapists do not have to have any specific training by law. This means hypnotherapy can be offered by people with little training who are not health professionals. When looking for a private hypnotherapist please choose someone with a healthcare background – such as a doctor, psychologist or counsellor and check they're registered with an organisation that's accredited by the Professional Standards Authority

0:00.0	I just want to speak to you quickly about California Walnuts who are supporting the podcast.
0:04.4	As a nutritionist, one of the most commonly asked questions I get asked is,
0:08.1	Hazel, can you please share some healthy ideas for snacks on the go?
0:12.2	And for those of you who know me personally, I'm a snacker and I will never leave the
0:17.0	hairs without an emergency snack. I like to keep it simple, healthy and easy to transport
0:22.8	and satisfying. So recently, I've been going through a California Walnut phase, either as a handful
0:28.0	on their own, as part of a homemade trail mix with some dark chocolate and dried fruit,
0:32.9	or in my famous banana bread. The reason I choose Walnuts is because they're the only tree nut
0:38.4	to contain significant amounts of the plant-based essential omega-3 alpha-linellic acid or ALA for
0:45.2	short. They've also got an abundance of antioxidants and micronutrients, such as iron and zinc,
0:51.6	and are also packed full of protein with 4.4 grams per one healthy handful, all of which are incredibly
0:57.2	important for your immune system and overall health. So while a healthy immune system can't be
1:03.1	achieved with one food alone, a balanced diet along with physical activity and regular sleep can
1:08.6	absolutely help. And enjoying a healthy handful of California Walnuts a day is a great way to
1:14.0	support your immunity with the colder ones ahead too. And here's a top tip for you. Did you know
1:19.3	that California Walnuts love the cold and should be stored in the fridge to keep them fresh and tasty?
1:25.0	I like to pop them in a jar and they'll keep there for up to six months.
1:28.9	Head over to www.CaliforniaWalnuts.co.uk for more information. Thank you to California Walnuts for
1:35.6	supporting the podcast. Hello and welcome back to the Food and Drug Podcast. I'm your host,
1:44.4	as always, Dr. Hazel. Today I'm joined by Stanford professor and
