The hypnosis seminar to quit smoking was an intense experience. The hypnotist, Larry, didn't just make me want to quit; he made the very idea of smoking a horrible, disgusting thought. I walked out feeling highly encouraged that I could quit smoking through the power of suggestion. Definitely recommend this to anyone who wishes to be smoke-free!
I was considering paying for both the weight loss and smoking seminars. After reading hundreds of reviews, most of which were negative! I just want to tell everyone that you can listen to several different hypnosis and meditation videos on YouTube for free, they have ones covering everything from weight loss, smoking, procrastination, anxiety and more. I personally listen to sleep hypnosis videos every night to help me fall asleep quickly. I believe this product is a scam from everything I've read so far, I would rather listen to free videos every night to slowly change my mentally over time then lose $50-$500.
Wow these reviews are awful. Uncomfortable seeing the bad reviews of the lack of money back Guarantee that is promised. My husband texted me from the stop smoking session he went to and said it was a sham supplement sales pitch. He stayed for the hypnosis but found the group session to be distracting. I'm going to the weight loss session tomorrow and interested.
The presenter was great. Not sure the hypnosis did anything special. Bought the supplements because the presenter convinced me throughout the presentation that this was the best way to keep muscle cells wide open. When I came home I did some research on the Muscle Milk protein shake he highly recommended. Turns out Muscle Milk is chock full of many of the ingredients he lectured repeatedly about staying away from, especially artificial sweeteners. He didn't try to sell it to us, but it convinced me the presenter was either a fake or not knowledgeable. Time will tell….
It was a great program don't get me wrong but I felt like it was more for people that don't honestly think they can quit so they push taking supplements on you. I think it's pretty much all mind over matter. I honestly want my money back. I wasn't craving a smoke after the event but the next day I was.
I learned a lot about why I should eat what I do and when but I felt like I was at a seminar to buy vitamins. Jeff said you don't have to but I felt about half of the first part was centered on how regular vitamins don't work and only these do. To me a lot of of the seminar felt like a sales push.
There was a lot of good information. The first part was a little too long though. I know repetition helps but it could be cut down a little. But it explained things that I've heard before in a way that made sense. I can't say I noticed much with the hypnosis itself. Not sure my cravings are gone but they have lessened a bit.
I attended the stop smoking seminar. Havent smoked since. 1 week going strong. I think it's a lie they say you won't need any will power to quit. Hypnosis is a very positive thing. It confirms all the reasons why you want to quit. Cd is helpful as well just to continue hearing positive, encouraging words. Our instructor was a nic guy and very funny. With that being said, I was able to quit but I white knuckled it the first 4 days. You begin to stop obsessing over it and life gets easier without trying. I was having really bad withdrawals the first day after. I bought the withdrawal pills because I tend to struggle the most with that. I took one. It didn't help me and I never took any more. I feel like I was swindled out of my $200 for those. I feel like I had an underlying calmness while quitting but it was still super difficult and took every fiber of my being. But at the end of the day i have quit and am grateful I'm not killing myself anymore.
Too little hypnosis, too much vitamin salesmanship. It was Bieber truthful and helpful
Information, and every little bit helps. It was less expensive than an appointment with a nutritionist so I don't feel that I wasted my time or money.
Hi Carina,
This is Jennifer from Mark Patrick Seminars' customer care team. Thank you for attending the seminar and sorry about the misunderstanding of believing you have to buy the supplements in order to be successful. I hope that makes sense to you, but keep in mind, we offer one year money back guarantee with this program whether you buy the supplements or not, so it’s the program that we believe in. Have you ever gone to your doctor and they offered you a one year money back guarantee if what they did to you did not work? We really do stand behind this program, we also come back to each area 2 to 3 times per year on average and in addition to the money back guarantee we give you a lifetime guarantee to attend any program again should you ever start smoking again or need reinforcement or it didn’t work the first time. Think about that, it doesn’t get much fairer than that, does it?
On the other hand, do we think that the supplements are important? Absolutely! Why? Because… smoking is both of physiological and psychological challenge. Let me explain, first the psychological, how often do you go even a few hours without having a cigarette and then other times such as: coffee break, stress, get into car, having a drink etc. in turn cause you (trigger) to often have one cigarette after another? All the time, right? So psychologically certain things trigger you to have a cigarette the hypnosis is designed to break or disconnect that connection, that trigger.
Physiologically, there are also physical triggers. Very different than the psychological (mental) but it’s really important to address the physical as well because otherwise the physiological trigger can overwhelm the psychological. Now, many people find that the hypnosis is all that they need but we’ve designed the program to address the many and when you think about it, after the thousands maybe even $10,000 that you spend per year for cigarettes it’s probably best that we design a program that addresses all the issues even if the cost a bit more.
Thanks once again for the feedback.
Kind regards,
Mark Patrick Customer Care Team
While I enjoyed Larry's "pep" talk and it was good I don't feel like I was hypnotized to the point of wanting to live differently and I have not lost anything
Hi Janie,
This is Jennifer from Mark Patrick Seminars' customer care team. Thank you so very much for your feedback and taking your precious time to do the review. I am sorry that you have not lost weight yet however keep in mind it’s really not that long since you attended the seminar and we will be working with you for the next 12 months with our free coaching program.
Just as a reminder, a couple times a week you’ll be receiving emails from Michael Hunter covering the physiological challenges/issues to address to make sure that physically you are on track to losing the weight and most important keeping it off.
… And you will be receiving psychological coaching from Alex Goen that addresses the mental challenges such as programming you’ve probably received your whole entire life such as “clean your plate” because starving children in Africa” or then you get a treat” imagine rewarded for gorging yourself.
So, we will be with you for the next 12 months and I would very kindly request that you give us a review at that point once again to see whether or not we fulfill each and every promise.
Kind regards,
Mark Patrick Customer Care Team
Don't know if it worked. Just did it last night. Good to know about the supplements for insulin. Really, I knew the hypnosis was too good to be true. It's more about the expensive supplements that are going to to do the job for me
Hi Jessie,
Thank you for taking the time to review our program, if the speaker didn’t make it clear to you that the supplements are not necessary and just an aid I’m very sorry. I would like to ask if you can do us just one small favor if you could click on this link http://www.generalsciences.com/trim-am/ and watch the video and after watching the video imagine if you were conducted the seminar would you feel not only obligated, in fact, required to share the information that the speaker did?
We tried to make it very clear that it’s not a requirement but at the same time we try to balance it out with the facts, supported by 219 scientific references.
Bottom line, we will do “whatever it takes” to make you happy. What can we do to make you happy? Keep in mind, with the seminar you attended you will receive free for one year physiological and psychological coaching to help you succeed.
The physiological addresses all of the different physical aspects that you need to address in order to be successful and the psychological addresses the mental aspects, very unique and why we’ve had such great success long-term with our seminar attendees.
Thank you so much for your feedback.
Kind regards,
Mark Patrick Customer Care Team
I felt that the information was useful and I'm really hopeful it will work. Disappointed that I could not purchase the vitamins, but hopefully I will be able to get them online. They are very expensive but I feel they would be useful.
Hi Virginia,

Larry was very charasmatic and a very nice guy but unfortunately it didn't help me. Im smoking again a few hours later. He was very intresting to watch
Hi Lisa,
We're sorry to hear that you were still smoking let me explain what we do in this case. We have of “whatever it takes” commitment to our attendees.
Providing that you have a sincere desire to stop smoking we have this truly remarkable guarantee. Think about this a moment, have you ever gone to the doctor and they said to you “this treatment is guaranteed or you can get your money back!” … And their treatments are in the hundreds of thousands and tens of thousands of dollars, aren’t they?
Our “whatever it takes commitment”: first we have a one-year coaching program that free with the program to help either keep you from smoking cigarettes or should you start again to get you ready to be smoke-free for life. Second, we come back to each area 2 to 3 times per year and we offer you a lifetime membership to any one of our seminars should you ever need reinforcement, or should you start again or should not work the first time. Third, if none of those work, you can get your money back up to one year after the program! I think you could see, we stand behind this program and it’s really your best chance, once again providing that sincerely want to stop, to never smoke again.
Kind regards,
Mark Patrick Customer Care Team
