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.
Katie was always very encouraging to me. I never felt rushed. She helped me be realistic about where I am and always found ways to be positive! She helped me set goals, identify barriers to achieving those goals, and made strategies for overcoming those barriers. I learned so much! My health is in a better place as a result of being in Restore. Thank you!
Katie was a great help and always had an answer to my myriad of questions. She never rushed me. She made and kept our scheduled appointments for first thing Monday morning every other week. She assisted me in making and reassessing specific, measurable, and realistic health related goals. She helped me identify barriers to achieving my goals and helped me make strategies for overcoming them. I have lost 45+ pounds, am eating healthy, and I am at a better place health-wise as a result of working with Katie.
Bill was very knowledgeable and informative. We feel that we can now move on with the information and encouragement we gained from the Restore program and will eventually meet our goals.
Becky was very encouraging and never took up too much of my time except for what was needed. She was always on time and helped me set realistic health related goals tailored specifically to my needs. Thank you Becky!
My Health Consultant, Angela, was a great help in providing motivation so I could realize my goals to eat healthier foods and lost additional weight. I feel I am now healthier and in better physical shape as a result of implementing some of the ideas Angela shared with me.
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!
When I first entered the Restore Program, I was not convinced that I could follow the program. I wondered how this “meat and potatoes girl” would ever be able to commit to such a plan. That was before I met Angela. Right away, she put me at ease and made me realize that I could achieve my goals through the Restore guidelines, my close relationship with God, my own perseverance, and her guidance all the way.
During her periodic calls, she immediately assessed my needs and the areas where I needed help. She gave me solutions to quick and easy meals when I had no time to cook. She provided answers for eating and prayed with me every step of the way. Together, we achieved my goals. My cholesterol is now below 200 and my triglycerides are 72. I’m still working at improving my numbers and I know without a doubt that I could not have improved my health and lifestyle without the constant encouragement and prayers from Angela. It was not an easy path for me at first, but she guided me through and answered every challenge with a solution.
Now, I have a real desire to continue the program and the success that I have achieved. As I plan my path, I can still hear Angela say, “Now, Loretta, let’s unwrap this package and break it down to see what we can do to help you meet your goals today.” Thank you, Angela!
I was so excited about the program after the initial shock. You must know that most of us are not vegan and taking orders from people who have never met us is to say the least… a jolt! Once I realized how important this would be to better my health, I truly was empowered. Then came the “stuff” that happens in life. After the death of my father, various illnesses, aches and pains, spinal therapy and gall bladder surgery, it was a long 6 months of doing my best to get back on the wellness regime MediShare had for me. I am trying so hard to be healthy and I only hope that I haven’t been too harsh. Thank you all for loving me! God bless!
The Health Education Consultant was a joy to work with, she always spent time with me on whatever was needed and always kept scheduled appointments. She always encouraged me in making realistic health related goals and she encouraged me with prayer. God Bless her. She has seen me through dark times!
My health consultant worked with my preferences well and reasonably while making good suggestions that worked! Our entire family has benefited health wise through the Restore Program. Thank you very much for encouraging me to send in my application- I waited a year because of being afraid of being rejected and suffered unnecessary stress. I wish I had done it sooner. I'm so glad that I was accepted into the Restore program. My husband and I considered this an answer to years of prayer for help with my weight and general health, which has improved along with my weight loss. He enthusiastically joined me in the changes and is enjoying his own weight loss, too. We have each lost over 15 pounds in 5 months. The Lord bless the MediShare team.
I am very grateful that Christian Care Ministry allowed me the opportunity to join the "Restore Program". It has literally saved my life. Reading Dr. Fuhrman's book, Eat to Live, and applying his principles has helped me gain knowledge about nutrition that I was unaware of until I read it. I have been able to lose 28 lbs., lower my total cholesterol from 238 to 157 and look and feel a whole lot better.
Working with the health education consultant (Katie Reinhold) was extremely helpful and helped me achieve my goals. She held me accountable and was a huge encouragement to me.
I consider Dr. Fuhrman's book the "Bible of Nutrition" and have since purchased "The China Study" to further my awareness and understanding about nutrition and it's importance to a healthy body and deterrent from diseases.
Thank you so much MediShare & Katie for all your help! I am rejoicing that I found you. Actually, my heart & body are rejoicing!
May God continue to Bless and use you for His Glory!
God has used this program as well as Brother Matt White, health education consultant, to change my life!
This program has been used by the Lord to give me back strength, breath, focus, energy, healthy eating habits, and has drawn me away from the sinful unhealthy eating habits. I praise God for your ministry and will continue to point folks in the direction of the health initiatives website that has been so instrumental in assisting me in achieving my health goals!
This experience in the Restore program is the greatest thing that has happened to me in years. I have known for 25+ years that my cholesterol was high. This program made it so easy for me to get it under control. I dropped from a total cholesterol of 233 to under 150 in 2 months.
Having the health consultant, Eileen, call me was an important part of my success. When offered something "bad" to eat my standard response was, "thanks, but Eileen won't let me".
I am at my ideal weight and have not felt this good in at least 15 years!
The Health consultant was professional, knowledgeable and was able to answer all of my questions. She took time to explain and answer any questions, she worked with me and suggested ways to help me reach my goals. She was always prompt in calling at the scheduled time. She was very good at this and I could not have done this without her!
I hope and pray that I am able to continue to do better. I'm encouraged with my Health Consultant's help. It's good to know people really care and I do feel much better.
I have found a wonderful friend in my Health Consultant. She has helped me to know so much about "Eating to Live". I only wished I would have known this years ago. I'm sure it would have made a difference in my life. Thank God for someone who knows God and will pray and encourage me in many ways.
The greatest praise of all goes to God, I'm so proud to be His child, He's my greatest help of all.
Comments about Julie Roy: She is a wealth of knowledge, never rushed, always kept scheduled appointments, she was always willing to suggest helpful alternatives. Her experience and knowledge was very helpful and I am undoubtedly in a better place healthwise as a result of working with a health consultant.
*The Health Initiatives Program is a tremendous tool for health and fitness management. I am amazed at the results I've achieved through the faithful and patient counsel of my health consultant, Julie Roy, she is a real gem! I believe that my lifestyle changes will be lasting and permanent fixtures for me. Praise God for you folks!
Emily Thomsen, The Health Consultant was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, loving and encouraging. She always spent an adequate amount of time with me, kept scheduled appointments, and I absolutely believe I am in a better place healthwise as a result of working with her. I wish I could keep her forever.
I began changing my eating habits and exercising just prior to signing up with Medi-Share. I have appreciated my consultant's expressions of help and concern and also her prayers. They are encouraging and help keep me pressing toward the goal that I have set for myself. Thank You.
