Dr Blair-West originally wrote his Best Selling book as a therapy manual for his patients as it was too slow explaining to each one the background behind why they needed to make a quantum shift in the way they approached losing weight.

Dr Blair-West's book reviews the emotional basis of our deep emotional attachment to food and the research into Restraint Theory and then looks at what this means for any weight loss plan.

Feedback on Dr Blair-West's Presentations |
Diabetes New Zealand National Conference 2009
"Dr Blair-West was the keynote speaker at Diabetes New Zealand’s recent conference in
Blenheim. He gave two outstanding presentations. The delegates at the conference rated
his presentations extremely highly as he is an excellent speaker and the material was very
relevant to the audience.
Many delegates have requested a copy of George’s slides and his book sold out."

Workshop Feedback

"A fantastic workshop. George is a great presenter who is able to cut through the science and deliver a practical seminar which is focussed on the daily challenges we face in therapy." Matthew Hand, Psychologist
"George is one of those rare individuals who is so interesting to listen to, he can hold an audience captive for long periods of time. He is passionate about his life, his work and his family and this energy radiates from him, spreading throughout the whole room. Add to this his wicked sense of humour and everyone leaves his workshops in good spirits taking with them much valuable, usable information." Rozz Nutting, Clinical Psychologist |
Dr Blair-West takes great pride in running workshops that are engaging and fun as well as informative.
In particular he aims to leave participants with practical skills they can take away and use the
very next day with their clientele. As you can see from the table below Dr Blair-
West achieves a high level of positive feedback for his workshops.
