As the 2009 Great American Smoke Out approaches, Joe Balog from West Virginia is celebrating his 2 year anniversary of being a non-smoker. Joe Balog began working with Dan Vitchoff, Board Certified Hypnotherapist and President of PA Hypnosis Center in Pittsburgh, PA in November of 2007 with a goal to quit smoking. He had been smoking for over 17 years and had tried just about everything else to quit smoking and nothing worked. He even tried a group hypnosis session and wasn’t able to quit. Joe’s mom, Bernice was looking around on the Internet and found PA Hypnosis Center’s website, www.pahypnosiscenter.com and decided to call and find out more information. When she called, she was pleased to find out that she and Joe could come in for a Free Consultation and Evaluation to learn more about how they could reach their goals with hypnosis. Joe and Bernice came in for their Consultation and were impressed by how relaxing the office was and how professional the staff was. Dan talked to both of them about what “a day in the life of…” looked like for each of them and asked them what they wanted to accomplish. Even though Joe wanted to lose weight and quit smoking, he decided to participate in a Hypnosis Smoking Cessation Program first and then work on the weight loss second.
Joe’s first session allowed him to wrap his mind around the idea that he was going to live the rest of his life as a non-smoker and his second session was his quit day. On Joe’s Quit Day, he left PA Hypnosis Center’s office is Pittsburgh, PA as a Non-Smoker free of cravings and desires and finally free from cigarettes! After Joe successfully quit smoking he decided to participate in a Weight Loss Program to improve his health and have more energy. Now, two years later, not only is Joe Balog celebrating his 2 Year Anniversary as a Non-Smoker; he has also lost over 70 Pounds. What Joe did is an amazing accomplishment! It can be difficult enough to quit smoking or lose 60 pounds but to do both within one year is truly inspiring. With Dan Vitchoff and PA Hypnosis Center’s help, Joe was able to turn his life around and improve his quality of life; he has more energy and his family is thrilled with his success.

Bob S. came to see us after suffering a heart attack and completing a Cardiac Rehab program. He had already began making some positive lifestyle changes through Cardac Rehab but was still struggling with intense cravings for sugars and carbohydrates. After completing one of our Hypnosis Weight LossPrograms, we are very proud to say that Bob has lost 20 pounds. Bob says, “I don’t crave in between meals and healthy snacks, I am eating healthier foods, I exercise 4 times a week at a gym and I have a more positive attitude and a brighter outlook on life.” Probably the best thing about Bob’s experience is that he has lowered his cholesterol and his blood sugar is now under control and what he says is the best it has been in 15 years.

Even though the Vince Lombardi trophy is not on the line this time, I’m sure both teams are going to want to show up with their A Game. In pre-season the focus is not only on finding a way to win, many of the players are also competing for positions on the team. What we’ve found is that, at this level of competition innate talent and ability is the norm, what sets apart one player from the next and subsequently one team from the next is how mentally prepared they are for competition. Here at our Pittsburgh hypnosis center, we work with athletes of all ages and all abilities to help them acheive peak performance.

These story lines are intriguing and entertaining but are not an accurate depiction of Clinical Hypnosis.
