My Journey to Health - CH
Thank you, Dr. Stoll. You have made a huge difference in our lives. Our family attended the conference you held at our church. Before the conference, my attitude was: "If there is no meat (BEEF!) in this, why are you trying to get me to eat it?" Now I eat meat 2-3 times per week. And I like it.I used to think that vegetables were an unnecessary garnish for a meal of meat and potatoes. Fruit was a quirky, sorry substitute for sugary desserts.
I used to think I couldn't survive and be healthy without lots of animal protein. Now I don't even buy cheese or butter or milk or beef. We have turkey or chicken from time to time.
I used to LIVE ON Coca-Cola. I always had one in my hand, as long as I was awake. I haven't had any sodas at all since the conference. And I don't feel bad.
I used to NEED sweets to function. I had horrible headaches, nausea, dizziness... many, many symptoms whenever I had been too long without sugary items. I used to keep a stash of chocolate (especially the rich, super-sweet kind). I had to have it.
My Journey to Health - Tanya
I turned on a Christian cable television one day and caught the end of an interview with Dr. Stoll. I immediately searched online to find out more. Initially I purchased four copies of the book, one for me and three to give away. I discovered Alive! just at the right time. I had been doing research into food and health as my daughter was getting unexplained rashes/hives. I read other books that got a bit legalistic and would talk about what NOT to eat. One book even said to cut out many fruits but it advocated the use of sugar and other foods not so healthy for the body, as they did not cause allergic reactions.Kyle Casey is setting an example for his four kids and the hundreds he teaches!

My Journey to Health - Annette
My name is Annette and I have been on this journey for years. You might ask how that can be. Where I am at did not happen overnight; it is due to emotional eating, things I was taught growing up, and in my nutrition class in college. Most every event revolves around eating. I have done this to myself and no one else. I always said I would not weigh more than so much and then I would get above it and set another goal I did not want to reach. I have tried numerous diets over the years with varying success.Don Meadows - Alive Testimony
Cheeseburgers, French fries, Blizzards at Dairy Queen, apple pie, homemade chocolate chip cookies, ice cream, pecan pie, pizza, pizza, pizza, barbecued Fritos, tortilla chips, sour cream and onion chips, Snickers bars, REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups, big slabs of steak (medium rare), pork tenderloin, baby back ribs, root beer. Those were a few of my favorite things. I must confess – I love to eat. Eating alone. Eating with friends. Eating with family. Eating out at a fine restaurant or a Five Guys Burgers joint. Eating while watching sports on TV. Eating popcorn in a movie theater. Eating the 3rd slice of pizza, and the 4th and the 5th. I love to eat.I always felt blessed by the fact that I could eat almost anything I wanted to eat and not really look or feel so bad. As it turns out, this really wasn’t much of a blessing. Instead, it served as my excuse to eat and eat and eat some more. I met Dr. Scott Stoll on October 7, 2011. I went to his home to sell clothing to him. Shortly into our time together, we came to the realization that we were both followers of Jesus Christ. I serve as the Children’s Pastor at Calvary Baptist Church, a church of about 1,200 in Easton, Pennsylvania. Our conversation drifted into a discussion of health and nutrition. I shared with Scott that during my last visit to my family doctor, she wanted to prescribe a cholesterol lowering medication to me. My cholesterol was 217. My doctor was very concerned because my dad (who passed at age 68 of heart disease) had his first open heart surgery at age 48. Also, my sister had a stent installed in her heart last year at age 48. I was 40-years-old and my doctor could see where the train was heading. Scott advised me to hold off on taking a cholesterol drug. I was curious since this was not the typical rhetoric I would expect from a doctor. He told me he had just finished writing a book called Alive! A Physician’s Scientific and Biblical Guide to Nutrition. He said that the book wasn’t published yet, but it would be by the time I returned with his clothing. He also told me that I would probably not need any cholesterol medication if I put the principles in his book into practice. I returned to his home on November 4 with his clothing. Before I left, he gave me a copy of Alive!
My Journey to Health - Sara
I am a wife and mother of two pre-teen daughters. I also work full-time and attend college in the evenings. My busy lifestyle was my excuse for making bad choices at meal times. I didn’t have any immediate health concerns so I didn’t feel the pressure to make changes. However, my clothes were very tight on me and I did not want to buy bigger clothes. My husband had been diagnosed with high blood pressure and high cholesterol and my youngest daughter was overweight and headed for the same diagnosis. I wanted to lead by example and God in His perfect timing put everything in place.A friend came to our monthly ladies’ breakfast meeting at church with her blender and made a strange looking green smoothie. I am usually open to new things so I tried it and was impressed. She explained how she and her husband had lost weight without trying by following a plant-based eating plan that her doctor, Dr. Scott Stoll, had taught them.
