Prior to joining Medi-Share, I had been praying for God to help me to make some serious life changes. I felt very dissatisfied with my weight and my unhealthy eating/inactive lifestyle. I had a very hard time putting action to a lifestyle change and sticking to it. Upon being accepted into Medi-share, I received a notice requiring me to participate in the Restore program because of my height-to-weight ratio and my waist measurement. At first I was very discouraged, being “required” to join the program. After praying again, the “light went on” and I realized that maybe this was my answer to prayer. It truly was! My health consultant, Katie Kolb, was a huge encourager. She was my cheerleader and mentor, with a wealth of practical advice and great tips to help keep me stretching to reach my goals! I have lost 30 pounds and am eating healthy. I feel great! I am so grateful for the opportunity to have participated in this wonderful program. Thank you Katie, thank you Medi-Share, and mostly, thank you Lord!

We retired early and my employer did not provide post retirement medical benefits. When I retired we were concerned about medical costs but did not project the size of increase we actually experienced. We had insurance, but the cost was getting very high and the deductible was at $10,000 and still the costs continued to rise even though we never made a claim in the years we were with them. We heard about Medi-Share from a friend of ours who was a member. So we applied, but after our applications were reviewed I would only be accepted if I would participate in the Restore program and complete the program within a year. I was concerned that I might not be able to meet the requirements and be left without any type of health care; having difficulty finding new insurance that would be affordable at my present age.

After much soul searching I though it only made sense to go ahead and enter the Restore program as the things that were required to complete the program were actually for my benefit and would leave me more healthy and in better shape to grow old well. God has led us into many things and we feel that this program is another example of God providing just what was needed. So we signed up and started with Medi-Share hoping that the Restore portion would be as effective as possible.

I received a call from my health consultant, Angela, and from the first call I knew that this was going to work, and work well. She helped me set some goals and sent out my Restore package containing a wealth of information to help me reach my goals. I have looked forward to the calls from Angela and the encouragement and well-rounded knowledge she has shared with us. I can say that this program allowed me to lose over 30 pounds in about 14 weeks and still feel energized and never hungry or deprived. The exercise kept me moving and feeling upbeat, which also made the program go very fast.

I have held my goal weight for about three months with no problems because of the new habits I have developed in the Restore program. I feel that these changes will be a life long change for me and my wife, as she is really enjoying the plan as much as I do. All of the results of the blood tests verify the effectiveness of the program, as my results show a vast improvement in all categories.

I would recommend this plan for anyone wanting to improve their health and maintain there goals for the rest of their life. This plan focuses on the whole person with lots of support which makes it a joy to participate in. I would like to say a special thanks to Angela Dodson for all she has done for our family!

Julie Roy was awesome! I could never have done it without her help, encouragement and knowledgeable instruction.

Katie Kolb’s encouragement kept me focused and accountable. I am now able to fit into and wear clothes that I haven’t worn in five years!
