Dr. John Schellenberg Weight Loss Story

I’ll never forget the words my friend’s father said to me when I was 12 years old.  I had spent the summer working in Saskatchewan on my uncles’ farm and when I got back home for school in the fall, my friend’s dad said to me, “Looks like you put on a lot of weight this summer!”  rom that point on, there always seemed to be a struggle for me and there was often things said in the family about putting on weight, becoming “portly” or that I was getting “jowly” which  meant my face was getting fatter and wider.  I struggled most of my adolescent and adult life going up and down up 20-30 pounds consistently year after year.  When I turned 40, the weight stopped coming off and just kept staying!  It didn’t’ matter if I ate cheeseburgers or salads or if I exercised like crazy or not.  It just wouldn’t come off.  That’s when I finally said, “I guess I’ll just be a fat guy for the rest of my life.”   I knew I was eating poorly and making unhealthy choices but I didn’t know what to do.  Then one day I saw a picture of myself on stage receiving an award and I didn’t recognize myself. I was like, “Who is that?!”  I knew I had to make a change, but still didn’t have the answers and so I continued to do what I was doing.  Then one day I bought a scale that analyzed body composition, calculated visceral fat and body mass index.  I took off my shoes and socks and stepped on board.  My eyes popped out of my head.  I was obese! And, a ticking time bomb for major health problems.  I never thought of myself as obese before.  That shocked me. I decided right then and there with no shoes and no socks on, I was done being fat!  That was the start of the program I now use to help hundreds of people lose thousands of pounds here in my town and across the country.

Dr. John Schellenberg was raised in Ontario, Canada, near Niagara Falls. He received his Doctor of Chiropractic in 1999. Early in his career, he saw patients who had problems that were not completely resolved by chiropractic adjustments. He realized that these patients had emotional, toxicity and/or nutritional components to their pain problems. He, thus, furthered his education by obtaining certifications in Body Talk and Neuro-Emotional Techniques (NET). With NET, he recently developed a three-brained approach to permanent weight loss and has helped many people across the United States and Canada obtain their weight loss goals. He is a compassionate practitioner who focuses on listening to his patients and validating their unique experiences.
