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!
Being on this program is the first time that I have started a workout plan and stuck with it. I have learned so much that has helped me develop a more healthy and realistic outlook on my personal fitness. Before, I always knew that I needed to do something but I did not know what to do. I would take a stab at a few things for a day or two and then quit, thinking that it was not possible for me to change. I am still not where I want to be but I am a lot closer than ever before and I know that with time, I can make it. Thank you so much for helping me!
Angela Dodson helped me tremendously! When we first began I did not want to do any of it, but as we went, I began to make some very significant changes in the way I eat.
I already have a very active lifestyle, but simply changing the way I eat has changed my life. I am not perfect by any stretch, but I have made lasting changes and lost a lot of weight. I feel much better and strong physically.
Angela was very faithful to pray with me concerning my family. That meant a lot to me! Thank you!
This program has had a very significant, positive impact on my life. Thanks again for your help!
I enrolled in Christian Care Medi-Share knowing that I wasn’t taking care of my health. I appreciate the proactive stance to be healthy and avoid health problems. Because of my early efforts in the program, I was able to lose weight and lower my cholesterol significantly. My health education consultant, Ron Welsh, was very helpful and encouraging. I was very motivated to work harder. I started walking regularly.
Unfortunately (or fortunately) I had a heart attack shortly after my 50th birthday (only about five or so months after being in the program). I thank the Lord that I survived the heart attack, which I believe was partly due to major diet changes and exercise that I had initiated with Christian Care earlier on. Thankfully, the doctor said that there was no damage to the heart.
Since my heart attack, I have dropped my weight to 180 pounds (since the very beginning of the program, I have lost 25+ pounds). I’m walking a more than a mile just about everyday, plus I’m playing soccer and other activities. My diet has changed radically!!! I do not drink soft drinks, nor do I eat fast food (something I did regularly before the heart attack).
Without any doubt, I feel better, have more energy, and I’m encouraged to be a better steward of my body.
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!
