Real Results of Transformation

Making Peace With Your Body

If you're reading this, you've probably tried more diets than you can count. You've used willpower until it ran out. You've promised yourself "this time will be different"—and then found yourself back where you started, feeling worse about yourself than before.

Here's what the research shows: the problem was never about food. It was never about discipline. It was about the emotions driving the eating—and the stress hormones keeping the weight on.

16 lbs Avg. Lost in 8-Week Study

43% Avg. Stress Reduction

I'd been obese almost my whole life, losing 70-90 pounds off and on for at least 20 years. Finally, I'm at a healthy weight.

— Gina H., Book Reader

The Research: What Actually Works

Important Medical Notice

If you have an eating disorder or significant health concerns related to weight, please consult with your healthcare provider. The Tapping Solution App is designed for general wellness and emotional support related to stress and emotional eating. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition, eating disorder, or obesity, and should not replace professional medical treatment, nutrition counseling, or eating disorder treatment.

Dr. Peta Stapleton, a clinical psychologist who has spent 20 years treating eating disorders, conducted a controlled study with 89 women classified as obese. The results were remarkable.

This isn't about willpower. Tapping reduces cortisol—the stress hormone that tells your body to hold onto fat—by up to 43%. When you're less stressed, you stop stress eating. When you process emotions directly, you don't need food to numb them.

Without dieting or exercise—just by Tapping for about 15 minutes daily—participants lost an average of 16 pounds in eight weeks. Even more surprising: when researchers followed up six months, one year, and even two years later, the weight was still down (or had decreased further). Their cravings remained lower. Their mental health stayed improved.

Real Results From Real People

These are people who'd tried every diet, felt trapped in the cycle of restriction and binging, and had nearly given up hope. And then something different happened.

Gina's Story

Lifelong Weight Struggle Finally Over

FEATURED

"I'd been obese almost my whole life, losing 70-90 pounds off and on for at least 20 years. Finally, I'm at a healthy weight—and I cried with happiness and love for myself during the final meditation."

WHERE SHE STARTED

Gina had been battling her weight for most of her life, caught in the cycle of losing 70-90 pounds only to gain it back. For over 20 years, she'd been hating her body, trying every approach, experiencing temporary success followed by regain.

WHAT CHANGED

Through Jessica's Tapping approach, Gina learned to feel good (and not guilty) about taking care of herself. Instead of punishing herself thin, she began building a more empowering relationship with food and her body.

LIFE NOW

She's finally at a healthy weight—not through another diet, but through changing her relationship with herself. The self-hatred that had fueled decades of yo-yo dieting has been replaced with self-compassion.

What strikes me about Gina's story is that she broke a 20+ year cycle not by finding a better diet, but by healing the emotional patterns underneath. That's the difference between temporary weight loss and lasting transformation.

Amy's Story

30 Years of Therapy, Then Tapping

FEATURED

"Considering I've had roughly 30 years of therapy for PTSD and related symptoms, I can not believe how much your wisdom and guidance is changing my life."

WHERE SHE STARTED

Amy had tried everything over 30 years: talk therapy, EMDR, brain spotting, group therapy, 12-step groups, mindfulness training, art therapy, yoga nidra, meditation, journaling—and lost the same 30-50 pounds over and over again.

WHAT CHANGED

Through Jessica's weight loss book, she discovered Tapping could do what three decades of therapy couldn't: help her sit with emotions and release the unconscious patterns driving her struggles. In weeks, she lost 11 pounds without willpower.

LIFE NOW

At 59, she's walking 5 miles pain-free (up from 1 mile max), her 25+ years of chronic arthritic pain is almost entirely gone, and for the first time she's motivated to move back into her "naturally athletic body."

Amy's story shows that it's never too late, and that Tapping can work even when decades of other approaches haven't. The key was addressing the emotional patterns at the nervous system level.

Common Questions

Q: How much weight can I expect to lose?

In Dr. Peta Stapleton's controlled study, participants lost an average of 16 pounds in eight weeks—without dieting or exercise. Just 15 minutes of Tapping daily. Individual results vary, but research consistently shows Tapping produces measurable, lasting weight loss. More importantly, the weight stays off. Follow-up studies at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years showed participants maintained their weight loss (or lost more), their cravings stayed reduced, and their mental health remained improved.

Q: Can Tapping really reduce food cravings?

Yes. Research published in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease showed that Tapping significantly reduces food cravings. One study even found that Tapping alters brain activity in areas related to food cravings. When you tap on a craving—really focusing on it, describing it, acknowledging how much you want it—something surprising happens: the craving often dissolves. This isn't about using willpower to resist. It's about addressing the emotional need the food is trying to meet.

Q: Why does Tapping work when diets don't?

Diets address what you eat but ignore why you eat. They give you rules about food but don't touch the stress, emotions, and trauma driving your eating behavior. Tapping reduces cortisol (the stress hormone) by up to 43%. High cortisol tells your body to store fat and triggers comfort eating. When you reduce stress at the biological level, the emotional eating naturally decreases and your body stops holding onto weight.

Q: How do I stop hating my body?

Body hatred usually started somewhere—a comment from a parent, bullying at school, cultural messages about what bodies "should" look like. These experiences created beliefs you've been carrying, often unconsciously, ever since. Tapping helps you identify and release these old beliefs. When you tap while acknowledging "I hate my body" or "I'm not good enough," you're not affirming these thoughts—you're processing the emotional charge behind them. As that charge releases, self-compassion becomes possible.

Q: Is this just another fad?

Tapping has over 100 peer-reviewed studies supporting its effectiveness. It's been researched for weight loss specifically by clinical psychologists like Dr. Peta Stapleton, who has spent 20 years treating eating disorders. The difference between Tapping and fad diets: diets give you temporary results that require constant willpower. Tapping creates lasting changes by addressing the root cause—which is why studies show results hold up years later.
