Dr. Pisarek's Testimonial

My two younger brothers and I were born in Canada to our remarkable parents, who had endured the suffering of World War II in Europe, surviving the Holocaust extermination camps and losing family members to the war. They arrived in Canada from Eastern Europe in 1948, poor and emaciated immigrants with very little to their name. Settling in Toronto, they were determined to create a better life for themselves and eventually for their three sons, vowing to never experience hunger, poverty, or unemployment again. Food became a central focus in our household, ensuring abundance.

In 1991, during a Chiropractic conference in Florida, a young boy likened my appearance to that of the late (1994) Canadian actor, John Candy, known for his role as 'Uncle Buck' in the 1989 Universal Pictures movie of the same name. This moment served as an 'epiphany,' prompting me to begin managing my health and lifestyle seriously, understanding the potential medical consequences. Adhering to the adage "Physician, heal thyself," and with support from my wife Hilda, I took charge of my health. From then until now, I've never looked back. To remind myself of the 'old me,' I framed pictures taken at various stages and displayed them at home, in my office, and on this website.

By August 1992, my estimated weight was around 420 lbs. as my mechanical scale stopped abruptly at 395 lbs., its limit. I should have used a butcher's scale at a local supermarket for accurate measurements.  To remind myself of the 'old me', I framed pictures taken at various stages and displayed them at home, in my office, and on this website.

Top right: picture taken of me on August 16, 1992 (date of photo stamped vertically on my right forearm) when I began my 'weight-loss project'. Bottom left: picture taken of me on August 31, 2014. Bottom right: picture taken of me on February 1, 2015, with both of my legs in one 58-inch waist jean pant leg. My waist measurement then was 34-35 inches.

Over time, with focus, determination, and perseverance, I educated myself about nutrition, adopted better eating habits, and embraced mindfulness. Joining a gym, I engaged in various exercises with or without a personal trainer, working on cardio, stretching, strengthening, and swimming. Gradually, I overcame several challenging health issues.

Since then, I've shed a substantial amount of weight and maintained it from 1992 to early 2013. While I attempted various popular diets during those years, many proved unsustainable in the long run, resulting in dissatisfaction, hunger, headaches, and ultimately a rebound in size and weight greater than my starting point.

In October 2013, 'ChiroNutraceutical' contacted me via email, seeking to introduce their new Health Canada-approved 'The 'ChiroThin™ Fat/Inches Weight Loss Lifestyle Program' into my chiropractic practice. Mentally unprepared for another advertised weight-loss program, regardless of its promises, I hesitated. However, positive feedback about the ChiroThin™ program from colleagues and their patients coupled with further research, piqued my interest, prompting me to try it out. 

To evaluate its effectiveness, I chose to be a patient myself before introducing it to my practice members, community, and fellow chiropractors. On July 30, 2014, I asked my wife, Hilda, to guide me on my ChiroThin™ journey, which she happily agreed to. After achieving success, I confidently introduced this program to my patients and the GTA community.

Recognizing my imperfections and past dietary mistakes, I strive to align my actions with this program as best as I can. The results are evident; I've become a walking testament to this successful lifestyle program. In the summer of 2014, my weight was 209 lbs., down 211 lbs. from my highest weight of 420 lbs. in August 1992. Nearly 8 years later, my weight fluctuates between 185 lbs. and 190 lbs., not far from my realistic goal of about 175 lbs. Overall, I've lost 235 lbs. and maintained it. If I can achieve this, so can you!

I now feel fantastic, look great, and enjoy improved energy and stamina. At high-school reunions and chiropractic college gatherings, I had fun surprising people who didn't recognize me from my 'grossly' obese days. I've become a living testimony to this successful lifestyle program! Throughout the years, I've significantly trimmed down and enhanced my overall general health, energy, focus, self-worth and quality of life.

The ChiroThin™ Lifestyle Program offers a fat, inches, and weight-loss plan that anyone can easily follow without having to consume shakes, eat meal-replacement bars, swallow pills, purchase expensive pre-packaged foods, undergo gastric surgery, exercise excessively, or take weekly injections. The program transcends mere scale weight measurements, employing electronic metrics to measure BMI, BMR, body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, visceral fat percentage, resting blood pressure and heart rate, ketone levels, and pH levels.

In my chiropractic practice, ChiroThin™ patients and I meet weekly one-on-one for metric measurements and coaching, involving dietary review, positive motivation, discussion, and resolution of any program challenges. Patients also receive value-added recipes and acupuncture point stimulation if needed for appetite suppression and metabolic enhancement, all aimed at achieving successful results.

Through my guidance and the ChiroThin™ Program, one's lifestyle and quality of life improve in various ways — feeling better about oneself, looking trimmer, improving blood glucose levels, blood pressure, and bad cholesterol levels, enhanced stamina and energy. Even those on medication, like me, find that their prescribed remedies are reduced or removed by their physicians or specialists, eventually detoxifying the body of foreign chemicals.

On a personal note, I was elated in mid-October 2014 when both my physician and renal-diabetic specialist recommended that I gradually wean myself off insulin — a double win for me!
