According to a new report, the former Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has taken on some "odd methods" of weight loss, including hypnosis, in an effort to get back to his former size.

"He’s had a professional hypnotist coming over to his house for the past couple of weeks and the results have been positive,” a source told OK! Magazine on Friday. According to Mayo Clinic, hypnosis is done to make a person “more responsive to suggestions, including behavior changes that can help you lose weight."

As fans have seen on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kardashian has been struggling with his weight for years, and in recent months, he appears to have reached an all-time high. Now, in addition to hypnosis, Kardashian is said to be considering gastric bypass surgery, but “only do the lap band option if hypnosis doesn’t work first.”

And he isn't just working on his outward appearance. He's also focusing on his mental health.

“He admits he’s not in the right place mentally to live a healthy life, and that’s what’s been the problem,” the source revealed. “He’s learning not to stress so much about his demons, which is why he recently posted that photo on Instagram,” citing a throwback photo Kardashian shared at the end of last month.
