The Restore program has been something of an adventure, and I'm glad that my husband and I could do this together. Katie Kolb was a delight to visit with on the phone, and we found that we stuck to the program as much for her as for ourselves. We had already begun making the changes in our diet and exercise, so the program was more of a continuing incentive than a great change. Still, setting goals and making regular evaluations has been a good experience.
Only God can restore a person to sanity and in the area of eating I needed a miracle. The Restore program was God's answer to my prayer. I tried everything in my own strength and was a dismal failure. But with the help of Restore, I was able to make a radical lifestyle change in the area of eating. I have lost 30 pounds, I am never hungry and I feel great! I value the encouragement of Angela, my Health Consultant, so very much! Her knowledge, experience, and faith have been invaluable to me.
Every aspect of the program was helpful to me. I enjoyed learning so much about my body and my overall health. I liked having a consultant to discuss my progress with and to encourage me along the way. One of the main benefits that I have experienced from the program is that I am sleeping better than I have been in a long time. The information that I've gleaned from the Restore Program will keep me fit for a lifetime.
I felt like I was doing an ok job and that I had a lot of knowledge before I started the program, but it gave me the push to be more consistent and to be more drastic in my choices. Accountability and challenge are good for me and I tend to rise to the occasion. This time it really paid off. My cholesterol level went from 222 to 172 in 3 months and I am in better shape than I have been in years. My doctor told me that my results were dramatic and exciting and he did not want me to lose any more weight! Which, by the way, was not my main goal, but was a great side benefit to being more disciplined in my eating and exercise. It was well worth my time to be involved in the program, because it raised my awareness of everything I put into my mouth and what I was or was not doing with my body. Praise God for giving us the ability to get stronger and healthier with His help!
My consultant, Matt White, was always very professional. His knowledge in the areas of health and fitness is extensive. He was always ready with advice and encouragement in assessing and developing safe and attainable goals. Matt is an asset and credit to your organization.
I would not have considered paying money over the last year for such a service, but looking back, I have gained knowledge and confidence that is well worth it.
On a personal level. I enjoy Matt. He has always been open with sharing his personal story when asked and seems to be truly interested in me as a Christian brother.
