Vitamin D & Magnesium — Vitamins that can potentially have a big impact on health

Most of us know Vitamin D and magnesium are good for us, but the way they work together is seriously underrated.

Vitamin D
Helps regulate mood, energy, immune function and even the way we respond to stress. Low levels are surprisingly common in the UK due to reduced daylight during winter and people staying indoors.

Magnesium
This vital vitamin supports sleep and muscle function.

Why They Work So Well Together
Vitamin D and magnesium support each other’s absorption and effectiveness. When both are topped up, people often notice:

Better sleep

More stable mood

Less stress and tension

Improved focus and energy

Stronger immune health

They’re not magic bullets, but they do create a healthier foundation for both emotional and physical wellbeing.

If you’ve been feeling low, tired, or “not quite yourself,” sometimes the simplest building blocks make a huge difference. There are a lot of useful resources online with more information on the subject. I can recommend Dr Berg's videos on You Tube as a good starting point.

Your Brain’s “Filter” — Why You Notice Certain Things More Than Others

Have you ever learned a new word and suddenly heard it everywhere?
Or thought about buying a certain car and then started seeing it on every road?

That’s not coincidence — that’s your Reticular Activating System (RAS) at work.

The RAS is a small but powerful part of the brain that acts like a filter.
It decides what information gets your attention and what gets ignored.

Here’s the interesting part:
Your RAS doesn’t choose based on what’s true — it chooses based on your beleifs.

So if you constantly think:

“I’m anxious…”

“I always fail…”

“Something will go wrong…”

Your RAS highlights every moment that seems to confirm those beliefs — even tiny things you wouldn’t normally notice.

But when your focus shifts, your RAS shifts too.
Start thinking:

“I’m improving…”

“I’m capable…”

“I handled that better than before…”

Your RAS begins to filter for positive evidence instead of negative triggers.
You literally start seeing the world differently — because your brain is wiring itself to support the new pattern.

This is exactly where hypnotherapy is so powerful.
By working with the subconscious, we can address any unhelpful or outdated belief systems and train your brain to notice what truly supports your wellbeing.

Dopamine Overload: How Constant Spikes Affect Your Mental Health

In today’s world, your brain is getting hit with more dopamine spikes than ever before — notifications, scrolling, quick rewards, sugar, va**ng, gambling, online shopping… the list goes on.

Dopamine is the brain’s “motivation and reward” chemical. In healthy amounts, it helps you stay focused, driven, and balanced. But when it’s triggered constantly, the brain starts to expect instant rewards.
That’s when problems begin.

You may start to notice:

Difficulty relaxing

Feeling restless or easily bored

Overthinking when not stimulated

Craving habits you’re trying to break

Struggling to find motivation without quick hits

More stress and emotional burnout

This isn’t a lack of discipline — it’s your subconscious mind adjusting to constant stimulation.

Hypnotherapy helps by calming the nervous system and retraining how your subconscious responds to urges, cravings, and pressure. It restores balance so your brain can settle again, making it easier to break habits, reduce anxiety, focus, and feel genuinely calm — without needing constant stimulation.

Clients often describe it as “finally getting some control of my mind back.”

If you feel like your brain is always chasing something or never fully settling, hypnotherapy can help you reset. I offer sessions in Gillingham, Medway, and across Kent, plus a free telephone consultation to explore how it can support you.

Stage Hypnosis vs. Hypnotherapy — What’s the Real Difference?

When people hear “hypnosis,” they often picture stage shows where volunteers pretend to be a chicken or fall asleep on cue. That’s entertainment — designed to amuse, not transform.

Therapeutic hypnotherapy is very different. It uses the same natural state of focused attention, but instead for lasting change — easing anxiety, quitting smoking, overcoming fears, or boosting confidence.

A common myth is that hypnosis means mind control. In truth, the person in hypnosis is fully aware and in control. A hypnotherapist simply guides them into a relaxed, focused state where positive changes become possible.

In stage hypnosis, participants are chosen for their suggestibility and willingness to perform. The suggestions are playful, never violating personal values, and the goal is laughter.

In hypnotherapy, the goal is positive change and the process is targeted and deeply personal. Even after seven years of working with it, I’m still amazed by how powerful it can be in helping people let go of old behaviour patterns.

If you’ve avoided hypnotherapy because of what you’ve seen on stage or TV, you’ll find it’s a completely different experience.

I offer professional hypnotherapy in Gillingham, Medway, and across Kent and the UK.

Why Logic Doesn’t Always Win — and What to Do About It

Ever noticed how you can know exactly what you should do — but still not do it?
Whether it’s quitting smoking, managing stress, or changing a habit, logic alone often isn’t enough.

That’s because our conscious mind — the part that plans and reasons — is only a small piece of the picture. Most behaviour happens automatically, directed by the subconscious mind, which runs on patterns built over years.

You might decide to change, but your subconscious is still wired for the old response — reaching for a cigarette, overthinking, or feeling anxious in familiar triggers.

Hypnotherapy helps bridge that gap. In a calm, focused state, you can access the part of the mind that drives those automatic responses and update them — so logic and emotion start working together, not against each other.

When that happens, change doesn’t feel forced… it just feels right.

I offer hypnotherapy in Gillingham, Medway, and across Kent, with free telephone consultations to help you understand how it can work for you.

Why You Can’t Switch Off at Night — and How Hypnotherapy Helps You Sleep

If you lie awake replaying the day or worrying about tomorrow, you’re not alone. For many people, sleep problems start when the mind forgets how to relax. The harder you try to sleep, the more alert your body becomes — a cycle that can last months or even years.

Hypnotherapy helps by gently calming the mind and teaching the body to remember what rest feels like.
Through focused relaxation, the subconscious learns to switch off racing thoughts, reduce tension, and rebuild a healthy sleep rhythm.

Hypnotherapy works with the cause of sleeplessness — the patterns of overthinking, anxiety, or emotional strain that keep you wired when you want to wind down.

Many of my clients in Gillingham, Medway, and across Kent have found that they feel more rested after a hypnotherapy session, they feel restored for the first time in ages.

If you’re ready to stop fighting sleep and start enjoying it again, I offer free telephone consultations to discuss how hypnotherapy could help you.

Why Quitting Smoking Feels So Hard — and How Hypnotherapy Makes It Simple

A lot of people put off quitting smoking or va**ng because they believe that it will be too hard — or that it can only happen at some “ideal moment” in the future. For others, even just thinking about never having another cigarette or v**e creates the very anxiety that keeps them smoking and va**ng, a prison for the mind.

What if I was to tell you that if you or someone you know want to be free of this habit then this has been easily achievable for many people using hypnotherapy techniques.

I use techniques that help retrain the brain’s automatic response patterns so that quitting feels simpler and more doable — not the feared battle of willpower.

Here’s what a recent client review said:

“An incredible experience with Paul. I genuinely did not expect the results of his hypnotherapy to be so quick.
From the moment I walked out of his treatment room I have had no cravings or urges to smoke. I never thought stopping smoking could be so easy.
Have recommended Paul to every friend who smokes.
Paul I cannot thank you enough for what you've done!”

If you or someone you know is wanting to stop smoking or va**ng — and want the easiest possible path — I offer structured quit smoking hypnotherapy in Gillingham (Medway) and online across Kent.

How Hypnotherapy Can Boost Confidence and Performance

Confidence isn’t something we’re born with — it’s something we learn through experience. Over time, setbacks, criticism, or anxiety can chip away at that natural self-assurance, leaving us second-guessing ourselves in moments that matter most.

Hypnotherapy helps by working directly with the subconscious mind, where those old patterns and beliefs live. In a calm, focused state, it becomes easier to replace self-doubt with clear, confident thinking — and to rehearse success in your mind before it happens in real life.

Clients often notice results in areas such as:

Public speaking and presentations

Exams or interviews

Sports performance

Creative or professional performance

Everyday self-belief and assertiveness

By changing the way the mind responds to pressure, hypnotherapy helps you perform at your best when it really counts.

If you’re ready to rebuild confidence and unlock your potential, I offer sessions in Gillingham, Medway, and online across Kent, with a free telephone consultation to help you get started.

Why So Many Quit Attempts Fail — and How Hypnotherapy Can Help

Did you know that most quit attempts fail within months?
A study published in To***co Induced Diseases (2023) found that relapse rates in smokers trying to quit using conventional methods were as high as 83% within the first year, with some groups reaching nearly 90%.
(tobaccoinduceddiseases.org)

These figures indicate that ni****ne addiction isn’t just physical. The drive to smoke or v**e is an automatic subconscious response linked to old experiences and routines. That’s why many people feel they’ve “failed,” even when they genuinely want to stop.

Hypnotherapy works differently. It reaches the level of the mind where those automatic reactions live — helping to rewire your response to triggers so that the urge gradually loses its power.

I’ve worked with clients across Gillingham, Medway and Kent who have successfully quit smoking and va**ng after years of struggle. With the right approach, giving up doesn’t have to feel like a battle.

You’re always in control — it’s simply a matter of finding the right tools to retrain the mind and body to work together.

Overcoming Phobias with Hypnotherapy

Many people don’t realise how common phobias are — the NHS estimates around 10 million people in the UK experience them. Whether it’s flying, spiders, driving, or public speaking, these fears can take over before we even think.

Phobias are learned, automatic responses — often from something that happened long ago. The good news is that we can retrain those responses. Through hypnotherapy, the mind learns new patterns, so the situations that once caused panic can start to feel calm and manageable again.

I’ve helped clients across Gillingham, Medway and Kent overcome fears of flying, spiders, heights, and many others. You’re always in control — it’s just about finding the right tools to change how your mind reacts.

DID YOU KNOW?

Back in 1955, the British Medical Association published a report stating that hypnosis is a genuine phenomenon and recognising its value in areas such as pain relief, sleep, and psychosomatic conditions. Decades later, modern hypnotherapy continues to build on this foundation — helping people make lasting changes in how they think, feel, and respond.

At Paul Miller Hypnotherapy in Gillingham, I work with clients across Medway and Kent to ease anxiety, quit smoking, overcome fears, and build confidence.
