In this episode of Life, Health & The Universe, nutritionist and nutritional biochemist Juniper Devecis (MS, RD, CCN, Hypnotherapist) shares how she healed emotional eating, rebuilt self-trust, and found freedom through hypnosis, NLP, and compassion—not control.
We explore how chronic stress hijacks metabolism, how to tell the difference between true hunger and emotional cravings, and why self-worth—not willpower—is the key to lasting change.
Juniper also breaks down her calm, sustainable approach to ketosis cycling, how to protect muscle and habits on GLP-1 medications, and the small rituals that make evenings (and cravings) easier.
✨ What you’ll learn:
The deeper emotional roots of food cravings
How hypnosis and NLP rewire your relationship with eating
The role of cortisol and chronic stress in weight gain
Rebuilding confidence and self-worth through nourishment
How to make peace with food—and your body
💫 By the end, “vibrant, juicy life” isn’t a slogan—it’s a state of being.
