TESTIMONIALS
The numbers for the 6 Weeks program speak for themselves and so do our testimonials. Here are testimonials from participants from our recent programs.
"We have worked with Joe Piscatella since 2012 when we first launched the 6 Weeks to a Healthier You program. For each of the six sessions, the evaluations scored at least 4.5 on a 5-point scale for overall satisfaction. People loved the sessions, and loved Joe. Additionally, the outcomes of the program totally met our goals for sustained change and measurable improvement in key areas (weight loss, blood pressure, etc.). I can honestly say that Joe is one of the finest presenters I've ever worked with, knows his stuff, presents it all in a way that everyone can easily understand, and obviously has the credibility given his heart bypass surgery at 32 years old. Additionally, and just as important, he is an absolute professional and delivers 110 percent on everything he promises. I would go to the bank with Joe on a simple handshake knowing he'll deliver big-time." --Carl J. Zapora, Superintendent, Verdant Health Commission

"One of the smartest things I have ever done was to sign up for "6 Weeks to a Healthier You." I learned so many ways to implement new ideas to make my life healthier." –Lois
"In September of last year just before my 2 stent operations, I weighed 196 pounds. Glucose level was117, my LDL was 135, HDL was 32, total cholesterol 226 and triglycerides were at 293. My cardiologist was shocked when she saw me recently. I now weigh 174, glucose level of 93, LDL of 55, HDL of 48, total cholesterol is122, and triglycerides are 96. I feel so much better than I have in years!" --Mark
"My husband and I both attended the recent 6 Weeks seminar. We are doing great and are so motivated to stay on this path to better health. He has dropped 11 pounds and I have dropped from 158 to 144 so far. We feel 100% better." --Jennifer
"I’m on the right path, and I’ve been amazed to learn that old bad habits can indeed be changed, and HAVE been changed, to my betterment. I used to live in defeat because I thought I could not change, and was doomed to live an unhealthy, uncomfortable, and as a result, a rather unhappy life, but this program showed me that I can change. I am very, very thankful for that." --Trish
"I’ve taken part in the 6 Weeks program and really enjoyed it. The main change is that now I’ve been pretty darned consistent about is exercise, doing something 5-6 days a week and doing it for longer 45-60 minutes instead of my more usual 30 minutes… Very validating and very interesting. Thank you for your efforts and Franciscan Health’s support on all our behalf." --Bev
"My husband, Joe and I were participants in the classes you ran last year in Lynnwood. This proved to be a HUGE turning point for both Joe and for me. Together we learned and together we opted to make big changes in how we were living our lives. Back to today...Joe had his bi-annual cardiac check up with Dr. Dan Wilkinson in Seattle. In 1993 Joe had his heart attack and subsequent open-heart surgery...No one expected him to survive. They brought him to the cardiac intensive care at Providence the next morning....he was on the heart lung machine and also on pulmonary life support....total coma. But it's 2013 now and obviously Joe didn't die. Today he had THE VERY BEST check up since he went home from the hospital in Dec. of 1993. Today everyone in Dr. Wilkinson's office was coming into the room to congratulate Joe. Joe's last weight check in the office 6 months ago was 183 pounds. Today it was 152 pounds. His blood pressure was now 114/60 and his lipids checked out at all time fantastic levels. All of the office staff were coming in asking us how he did it. Dr. Wilkinson wanted to know. It was like someone lit fireworks in that office today. Thank you a million times over for what you do. I saw the results today and it was awesome." --Linda
