Learn How to Take Control of Your Eating Behavior and Life with This Evidence-Based Process
When one asserts consistent control over thought, emotion, behavior, and gut health, this represents the ultimate personal transformation because all psychophysiological systems are under your direction. Weight loss and the motivation to achieve and maintain your objectives depend on understanding the mechanisms that will get you there and keep you there. With over half a billion neurons (brain cells) in the gut, there is a two-way communication between the brain sitting on top of your shoulders and the one in your gut. This means that a disrupted gut can tell you when to eat, what to eat, and how much to eat, or, in the case of a person with anorexia, not to eat at all.
A Solid Foundation of Research and Development
The foundation of Reprogramming the Overweight Mind represents 40 years of research and development, with well over a decade committed to research on the mechanisms of the gut. It is built on the evidence-based process of Subconscious Restructuring� (SR�), which does not require meds, labels, or personal history to show improvement at every session in emotional health (mental health).
Measure, Track, and Improve
Burris Institute requires all of its SR� Practitioners to measure every client's emotional and gut health at every session. This is how we continue to refine and improve the SR� process. The psychometrics we measure, which you will also measure, track, and improve in this work journal, are Depression Anxiety Negative Self-Talk Anger Sleep Hopelessness Self-Esteem Eating Behavior Decision-Making Hatred (Self-Others) Suicidal Ideation Love (The Emotional State) Self-Confidence Motivation and Focus Communication Relationship Satisfaction Stress and Gut Health (We consider this the 18th Psychometric)
Test Do Not Guess
Testing is imperative if you score a 5 or above on any of the Burris Gut Health Checklist Questions, and we list the top 5 tests you need to get started with your Functional Medicine MD at the beginning of Step 6. From there, we break down multiple mechanisms that will bring back the balance of the microbiota. Following is a short list of what we address in Step 6 of this 7-Step Process.

With a focus on research and behavioral science for over 39 years and as the author of ten books on human behavior, Kelly Burris has made a substantial commitment to bringing science to the mental health industry. This is clearly represented by the Subconscious Restructuring� (SR�) Process. SR� is evidence-based Emotional Health without meds, labels, or personal history. SR� measures 18 psychometrics, including depression, anxiety, and gut health. It is a system to benchmark normal as the first step to creating measurable change. Defining normal breaks, the cycles of therapy, medication dependency, and producing measurable progress toward desired outcomes at every session.
Subconscious Restructuring� is the first step in positively directing our emotions to enable other modalities to work efficiently. If Emotional Fitness (mental health) is the objective, then Subconscious Restructuring� is the tool needed to accomplish this objective.
Contributions to Science
Established a clear definition of behavioral epidemiology with 7 KQs. Established a client-centric mental health data protocol with 3 KQs. Clearly defined normal in mental health to establish baseline objectives for all clients. Developed a mental health process based on the mechanism of thought, emotion, and behavior. Eliminated the need for meds, labels, or personal history of Emotional Health (mental health). Established a system of measurement for gut health, which correlates with aberrant emotion. Broke down the mechanisms involved in a disrupted microbiota and how to correct it. Developed an emotional health training and certification program based on a comprehensive client-centric data protocol for emotional and gut health. Developed a military-centric process for PTSD, suicidality, and co-occurring disorders. Developed an SR� process specific for ages 9-17.
This book is a MUST-READ for people interested in personal improvement and biology. Over the years, I have studied a lot of books on personal development. This is definitively one of the best about the subconscious mind, and it reminds me of another one that I read a long time ago, “Negative Self-Talk and How to Change It� by Shad Helmstetter.
This is not a simple workbook but also a start in your personal analysis. It begins with a basic first step about how the subconscious is functioning. With forms that you could fill in order to obtain the actual state of your mind, followed by others that help you understand where you want to go in your private and professional life (e.g., your objectives, Self-Image, Health, Wealth), full of examples and Empowering Questions that could support you in your managing better your subconscious mind. There are 7 steps that need to be studied in a practical way.
What I found out in "Reprogramming The Overweight Mind" by Kelly Burris, PhD that makes it very special and even unique is the link between biology and the subconscious mind through a deep understanding of the gut's role in mind and body functioning. The gut is one of the best modalities through which you can verify whether you are in a healthy place or not, and then you can decide if you want to change your life for the better. Although I considered it intriguing, you can skip this step if you want. The following and the last one, “Trance-Formation,� had something to do with meditation techniques and self-help using some useful hypnosis techniques.
