John Kellum, an Obstetrician/Gynecologist and a married father of three, joined our introductory class of 8 Weeks to Wellness and became a star. As a busy doctor in a demanding specialty, John faces real challenges in maintaining a health based plan and schedule that includes fitness training, eating in a balanced & healthy way, and taking care of his body inside & out.

I started with Alamo Heights Chiropractic in August 2009.  For months I had been suffering from severe hip pain that was making it difficult to walk and work.  Like all aches and pains I assumed it would eventually go away, but it was only getting worse.  I was hesitant to take pain medication because I didn't want to just ease the pain, I wanted to correct the problem.  My wife encouraged me to call Alamo Heights Chiropractic for an evaluation and after meeting Dr. Tremblay and the staff at the clinic, I felt that I finally had a chance to fix my problem. 

The combination of therapy, adjustments, and stretches gave me the relief I was hoping for.   As my hip was healing, I was asked to join the initial class in the 8 Weeks to Wellness program.  The program (along with a friendly wager) has allowed me to improve my health through diet and exercise.  I was overweight (lost 26.5 lbs—more since and 5.8% body fat), which contributed to my hip problem, and suffering from hypertension (dropped 10mmHg Blood Pressure), elevated cholesterol (dropped 29 points) and triglycerides (dropped 182 points!!!) and the potential for diabetes.  In a simple way, the program has helped me focus on the proper way to eat.  The exercise portion of the program is easy to maintain and I experienced real results.

I can't thank you enough for taking an interest in me and putting me on a new road of health and well being that I will continue. John Kellum
