Slimpod : The reason they’re here is their passion for
empowering you to succeed
In February 2009 in Harley Street, Sandra had a moment of inspiration that was going to be life changing for people the world over. The dream was to make a difference to the lives millions of people who suffer an endless struggle with their weight. That dream is becoming a reality. Successful clinical trials mean their Slimpod method is now proven to help people lose weight, control food and sugar, improve quality of life and help with other lifestyle changes such as fitness.
Slimpod is a world leader in the use of unconscious persuasion to help people to lose weight. It is the first company in the world to commission independent clinical trials into the effectiveness of voice recordings using the WordWeaving® technique to help people lose weight. ThinkingSlimmer.com is a registered stakeholder in the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s guidance for the lifestyle management of obese and overweight adults.
Creator of the Slimpod programme
“AS a teenager I was bullied because I was fat – they called me “Miss Piggy” – so I know how being overweight feels. When I was 14, I wore size 16 clothes I bought from charity shops because I was too embarrassed to go into dress shops and be seen in the changing rooms. Today, a mother of three, I’m a size 10 and have a normal relationship with food. I’ve changed my eating habits and stopped food from being in control. As a behavioral change specialist I work with overweight people every day, so I know how hard making changes can seem. However, it can be done much more easily than you could ever imagine. Ten years ago I found a way to help people online, rather than just in Harley Street, and now our revolutionary Slimpod method is empowering thousands of people to take control of their appetites – and they’re regaining their confidence and self-esteem, too.
Many people diet because they think there’s no other way. Now Thinking Slimmer changes all that, making it possible to lose weight without dieting and love the skin you’re in. Constant dieting often has horrendous psychological effects manifesting in low confidence, obsession with calories, deprivation, binge eating and generally feeling out of control. When I had the brainwave for Thinking Slimmer it was about giving people back their lives on a mass scale. I was so angry about all those who were stuck on the dieting merry-go-round that was ruining their lives. Disordered eating is the reason so many people seek therapy. They have a rubbish relationship with food and years of dieting has taken its toll, so much so they’ve forgotten how to eat normally. I’m very proud that our Slimpods reverse these effects and help people have a normal attitude towards food.
They’re able to think the way slim people think.
I wanted to dispel scepticism about how the mind influences weight loss so I’m especially proud that Slimpods have been scientifically proven to work in independent trials at City University London. They’re the first people in the world to do this. I believe that what we do at Slimpod is so powerful it could go a long way to solving the obesity crisis and so I believe it should be made available on the NHS. My mission is to help everyone understand there is a way of ending the battle with food. My mission is to show people there’s a way to be free from the never-ending diet cycle that inevitably ends in failure.
And most of all my mission is to help you feel great about yourself.”

Clinical Trials
Slimpod delivers remarkable results in independent trials . A researcher at City University London carried out independent clinical trials, testing Slimpod with a group of users against a control group who listened to a non-weight loss recording. All participants had a BMI above 25 at the start of the six-month trials. Slimpod was found to significantly reduce weight and improve eating self-efficacy among overweight adults. The researcher told them: “You should be proud of your results.” They were presented at the research conference of the British Journal of General Practice in March 2020 and at international public healthcare conferences in Dubai and Milan in 2023 and Prague in 2024.

Making A Difference In NHS
- 87% of the staff lost weight while listening to the Slimpod over the three month project.
- 97% reported behavioural change and said that they had stopped snacking – and most of them had lost interest in sugar completely.
Thanks to the trailblazing work of Slimpod founder Sandra Roycroft-Davis, the hospital’s chief executive was inspired to transform their work environment and create the first-ever sugar-free hospital restaurant in the whole of the NHS.
Join forces with Thinking Slimmer to revolutionise weight loss management within the NHS.
Medical Briefing
Medically endorsed weight loss is rare – however the effects of a Slimpod have been described as “profound and life-changing” by an NHS consultant psychiatrist who has endorsed its use after trialing it on himself. Mr Gideon Felton, a Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, (pictured above) found that he ate less, cut down on snacking and made healthier choices. His independent and impartial assessment states that in his judgement there are no psychologically harmful techniques used in the Slimpod programme’s technique and he gives it his endorsement.
