Scholarship Spotlight: Kimberly Searle Hits the RESET Button

Kimberly Searle was diagnosed with an auto immune disease in her teens. While her initial symptoms were less severe, complications progressed over the years. “10 years ago, I began having severe bouts of IBS, extreme fatigue, and chronic inflammation in my joints that made it difficult to walk,” said Kimberly. “I have constant pain, vertigo that lasts for weeks, and complications with my heart. I realized Western medicine was not helping me. I scoured the Internet and came across OHI. I completed the scholarship application, detailed my 50+ years of health struggles, and was thrilled to be offered a scholarship.”

The raw plant-based diet sounded daunting to Kimberly, but she knew she needed a unique approach to combat her chronic health problems. “I always knew how important clean eating was to allow my body a chance to heal, but I didn’t know how to properly go about it,” said Kimberly. “I attended all the classes on nutrition, digestion, proper food combinations, meal planning, and hydration. The education was transformational! Within the first week, my joint pain from inflammation was gone. I no longer needed to take ANY pain medication, and I could stand up straight again when I walked. It’s a miracle that food could heal what years of Western medicine couldn’t. After three weeks of clean eating and less stress, I came home and had my blood work redone. My cholesterol, AC1, triglycerides, etc., were all in the NORMAL range. What a breakthrough!”

OHI also helped Kimberly deepen her faith. “I’ve always had faith in God, but at OHI I learned to lean into that,” said Kimberly. “I also learned the importance of slowing down my thoughts through meditation. One of my favorite classes taught me how to visualize myself as the healthy happy person I was meant to be. It was life changing!”

Kimberly is truly grateful to OHI for the scholarship she received. “Thank you to everyone who supports OHI,” said Kimberly. “The scholarship changed my life. People need to understand what this program can do. I recommend OHI to everyone. It’s the reset button we ALL need.”
