Speaking Seminars:  letters and  comments

NORTHVALE PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT

What an enjoyable evening we spent last night with Thomas Kersting. As the invited guest speaker at the January Northvale PTA meeting, Tom provided the audience with a cadre of information about our nation’s growing concern: childhood obesity.  During his presentation,

  One of the biggest contributors to overweight children, according to Kersting, is the constant  bombardment, by the media, of glitzy and subliminal advertising.  This, coupled with the mind set that we all need bigger portion sizes, has led to our children’s weight problems. Dr. Kersting’s message was exactly what our parents needed to hear, as his presentation complimented our year-long initiative for making students and parents aware of how important it is for our youth to eat healthy.

Through a well-designed and colorful power-point program, Tom traced the fast-food industry in our society and how our children have become the pawns of corporate greed. He accomplished his objective with wit, personal childhood stories, and a large dose of reality. Enough to scare the audience into the realization that it is time to take the necessary action to ensure that their children become educated about the fast-food industry and how their life could be negatively affected if diets and eating habits do not change.

I highly recommend Tom Kersting to any organization looking to inform and motivate parents to take the necessary steps to ensure that their child does not become the next  over-weight victim of our marketing media and fast-food industry. Parents left the presentation laughing at Dr. Kersting’s delivery, but concerned about their parental responsibilities with this societal problem. Our next step here at Northvale will be to invite Tom into our middle school health classes so they can hear first-hand the message their parents received at last evening’s program.

Respectfully,


Sylvan C. Hershey
Northvale Schools Superintendent

On Friday, January 12, 2007, Tom Kersting presented a nutritional seminar to the Bergen County Health Officers Society.  Our society is responsible for the health and welfare of approximately one million residents of Bergen County, NJ, and is comprised of Health Officers and Health Inspectors.

My membership found Tom Kersting's presentation extremely informative and his style of speaking enthusiastic.  He elucidated questions and fielded them flawlessly.  Personally, I have modified a nutritional behavior as a result off Dr. Kersting's presentation, which is what it is all about.

Power Programming weight loss client testimonials

This book is truly amazing. What a totally new and exciting way to think about weight and life in general. Do any other workout program, diet or whatever and use this book to really change your mind to make better decisions.

- Michael Michels

I lost 40 pounds by setting small goals and creating life style changes. I also used EFT tapping to get rid of the cravings. Then I hit a plateau for a while until I came across Dr Kersting's book. By reading the book and listening to the cd I was able to gain much better control over my eating habits than before. The cd also taught me how to relax more completely. The I lost another 10 pounds, started eating more healthy and my blood pressure went to normal.

- F. Miller

I, like many others, have tried most diets out there with little success. I've been listening to Tom Kersting's program for a week and a half now and have seen differences in my attitudes toward food. Where I used to struggle with portion control and knowing when to stop eating, I began to instinctively and easily stop once I was satisfied. After listening to the Week Two Program for three days, I woke up one morning and hopped on the stationary bike that had been collecting dust for the past year. There was no big concerted effort involved; I just did it. Tom Kersting's reprogramming has made it easy to eat only when I'm hungry and help me get active. I'm looking forward to completing the whole program and to seeing its continued results.

- S. Ragazzo

i now believe i am capable of solving all my faults (some i'm not ready to give up). i want my skinny sister to read it because she smokes.

- Jan Martinez

Tom Kersting's book delivers what it says. I am no longer a slave to food.
No diet, just living. Thank you Dr. Tom

- Debra Saskin

"After years of diets where I'd lose ten pounds then gain back twenty, lose twenty gain thirty, and so on, I blew up to 290 pounds. I was unhappy and unhealthy. Then I was lucky enough to find Dr. Kersting. That was five years ago.  I lost 100 pounds and have KEPT IT OFF!!. without starving myself, without stress, without any crazy "fad" dieting. THANKS AGAIN TOM.  YOU'RE THE BEST

- Dan Ulman

I began working with Tom in the summer of 2005 to deal specifically with weight loss.  Being an open-minded person, I decided I would give Tom a "shot", but never in my wildest dreams did I expect the results that I acheived.  During our first session I was asked very specific questions about the goals I wanted to acheive.  Tom explained the process of power programming and told me that the session would be taped and I should listen to them periodically.  Tom began the session with a visualization technique accompanied by very soothing music.  I was instantly relaxed.  Never once did I feel that I was in another state of mind or out of control.  Actually I felt as if nothing had happened, and I would not be returning for another session. To my amazement I woke up the next morning at 6am and began exercising.  It took a few days for me to realize that this "new" process was actually effortless for me.  Exercise was no longer a chore, there was no longer the thought of should I or shouldn't I exercise, I just did. Twenty-five pounds lighter, I cannot explain how it works, I just know that it does.  Working with Tom was a very positive and enlightening experience for me.

"I have always been a little more anxious than others, but I was at a
point in my life where my anxiety seemd to have gotten the best of me. 
It was my first year of college, and anxiety dominated my entire life,
and as a result, I gained an immense amount of weight (ironically, not
the typical freshman fifteen).  I let myself get extremely unhealthy,
both mentally and physically.  Everything I came in contact with made
me incredibly nervous.  When I went to see Tom Kersting, he introduced
me to 'power-programming,' and at first, I wasn't sure how it would
work out.  However, I was very willing to give it a chance and see what
it could do for me.  After just the first session, I was motivated and
I felt in control.  After more and more sessions, I got myself back on
track.  The aspect we focused on during my sessions was control, and
Tom taught me that it is easy to have control of your compulsions if
you relax.  This newfound control I had enabled me to get me back into
shape - both mentally and physically.  I have never felt better."

- Tori G.


I used to get up in the middle of the night, every night and binge-eat.  I could not control this compulsive behavior.  After using Tom’s power programming system, it never happened again.  Truly amazing.

- Mark Haemmerle


I Lost 20 lbs and still going after only three sessions from
Power Programming with  Tom Kersting.  Can't thank you enough.
