My journey with Medi-Share began with a desire to get our health care costs under control and to stop paying for the medical care of people who are un-willing to make healthy lifestyle choices. In order to be accepted in the program, I needed to lower my cholesterol. For years, several physicians have tried to get me on statin drugs but I have always refused and basically just ignored the problem.

My naturopath suggested I try a vegan diet for six weeks. Reluctantly, I did and my total cholesterol dropped from 292 to 219. At this point CCMS was willing to accept me in the sharing program with the provision that I work with an advisor. I wasn't very excited about this either but working with Angela Dodson has been another unexpected blessing in my life! I've been so impressed with the total Christian perspective CCMS espouses; they really look at whole body health, spiritual, mental, relationships, and physical. Angela was very compassionate and caring. I grew to appreciate her praying with me after each one of our phone sessions. She was very knowledgeable and always offered me many resources. We worked together for about 9 months; I learned a lot about choices I can make and things I can do to improve my own health. My total cholesterol is now 198 and dropping! Working with Angela and the Restore program, my total health awareness has been raised. I have reccommended this program to many friends and family. Another benefit is that I have lost 30 lbs. and that alone has caused people to ask what I have been doing. Fortunately, my wife, Cynthia, has been incredibly supportivem in making these dietary changes. My son and daughter-in-law have seen the changes and been inspired to make changes of their own. Dr. Joel Fuhrman's book, Eat To Live, and Lowering your Cholesterol, have been very helpful. What started as a suggestion from my Naturopath has now become a lifestyle. For a Kansas farm boy who grew up on raw milk, butter, and meat three times a day, I have come a long way. I am excited about enjoying all the health benefits from these changes and the diseases I am avoiding in the future! Thanks be to God!

Matthew White has outstanding coaching skills. Besides being very knowledgeable in his field, he is also able to provide adaptations suited for the individual he is working with. He was a great resource for my new fitness/wellness program. I know I'm in a better place now with the temple God has given me.

Because Matthew has the gift of encouragement, he coached me through times when I was hitting a plateau in my progress. In the past, I would have quit. But this time, I continued to press through and I feel I've established new habits for wellness.

I am thankful my husband chose to join me in the wellness pursuit and together we have now lost 65 pounds. I have lost 30 pounds and have lowered my total cholesterol number by 30 points. I praise God for his grace in this!

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!

The Restore Program has dramatically changed my exercise and eating habits. Angela was very helpful and a real pleasure to work with. In a few short weeks, I was able to lose 25 pounds and lower my bad cholesterol significantly. I was a skeptic at first but have learned that with a few adjustments, bad habits can be changed permanently. If I can do it, anyone can!

I started out a skeptic in the program and did not believe I could feel this much better, or lower my cholesterol. Katie Kolb did an outstanding job in working with me to improve my goals for a healthier lifestyle. The resources made available to me, along with the coaching every two weeks, was invaluable. I believe the fact that I was accountable to a professional and obligated to Medi-Share gave me the extra incentive to continue the program. Now that I feel so much better I am hooked on the healthy lifestyle. Thank you for the life changing experience I now enjoy after completing this program. I don't have the cholesterol result yet but can't wait to see them. Thank you again for being such a blessing to myself and part of my family.

I left my doctor’s appointment in March praising the Lord for Medi-Share and Angela, my health consultant. My blood pressure and cholesterol numbers were better than they have been in several years. The nurse even commented on my excellent numbers.

Every phone call I received form Medi-Share ended with a prayer. How good it is to hear the caring in their voices and the Holy Spirit using them as encouragers.

There are just too many good things to say. Thank you for letting the Lord use you in this ministry!
