10 Years of Healing, A Future of Hope

Help us raise $10,000 to change more lives.

Our Story

“Ten years ago, we started with a brochure and a bold idea: that food could heal.” — Dr. Ted Barnett, Founder and President

What began with a spark of compassion and a review of the science became a movement to empower people to take control of their health through whole-food, plant-based nutrition. RLMI has now helped thousands reclaim their health and their lives. And we’re just getting started.


Real Results, Real People

“I found it truly life-changing!” — Laura B, Jumpstart participant 2025

Over 2,700 people have completed our signature 15-Day Whole-Food Plant-Based Jumpstart program that is based on Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn’s proven disease reversal protocol. Participants see real, measurable improvements in just two weeks, as shown by these average recorded results:

Our work is evidence-based, medically reviewed, and changing lives. It’s certified by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, used in clinical research, and presented at national medical conferences. The live, facilitated program is now complemented by an On-Demand option—perfect for those who prefer independent learning or are unable to attend live sessions. It also allows us to reach and support even more people on their journey to better health.

Why We Need You Now

Our Goal: $10,000, and your donation will help us:

  • Make Jumpstart accessible to all - Everyone deserves a chance to take back their health. We keep Jumpstart affordable so no one is left behind—but fees don’t cover the full cost. Your gift helps more people join the program, regardless of income.

  • Empower healthcare providers to lead change - We offer free and low-cost training in lifestyle medicine to doctors and other professionals, so they can better support their patients—and help shift the healthcare system toward prevention and healing.

  • Reach people around the world - Chronic disease knows no borders. We’re building more flexible, global-friendly versions of our programs—especially Jumpstart—so we can serve communities everywhere, in every time zone.

Thank you!
