Joyce DeGregorio

My name is Joyce DeGregorio and my husband and I recently completed the 8 Weeks to Wellness Program at AHCHC.  It was a wonderful experience for both of us.

I had been somewhat inactive the past 6 moths due to plantar fasciitis in both heels.  My husband exercises almost every day, but to support me, decided to join the 8WW program too.  I wanted to lose weight, get back to exercising regularly and get on a long-term wellness program.  My hopes were more than fulfilled with this program and the help of the AHCHC staff.  They were always there supporting and cheerleading and I have a deep respect for everyone there.

We both benefitted from the plan - we each lost 14+ lbs., gained flexibility, are better toned and have overall health improvements.  I hesitate to call it a diet plan, but rather a lifestyle plan for better eating and exercising habits.  I was never hungry on the program and never felt deprived.  I learned portion control and which foods were good for me.  With the combination of fitness training, massage and the chiropractic adjustments, we both feel much better.  The staff at AHCHC made it fun and we are most grateful for their support.

I have re-gained confidence and plan to stay with the program.  It is especially gratifying when friends and family tell us how good we look!
