How This 350-Pound Man Became ‘The Incredible Shrinking Pastor’

“Can you help me? Will you help me?”

A life-changing story from naturopathic doctor Mark Sherwood begins with these poignant words as, voice shaking, he shares with host Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of the Greenelines podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network.

The story that touched Sherwood so deeply, he says, is a common one at the Functional Medical Institute in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he works alongside his wife, Dr. Michele Sherwood. It involves “a gentleman who is a well-known pastoral leader of a very large ministry. And everybody would know him. … He walked into my office in October 2020. I think he weighed 345-350, something like that. Very unhealthy.”

“Of course I will,” Sherwood told the pastor.

“So we went to work,” he says. “As of last week, he is down 85 pounds. He’s down about 14% body fat; his muscle tissue’s up five or six pounds. I believe his fat tissue’s down like maybe 85-90 pounds.

“It’s a lot,” Sherwood says. “He’s become so transformed. He looks like two different people. And he would tell you, and he does tell people now, ‘This is easy. This is not hard. … He was so large; now he’s become the incredible shrinking pastor.”
