Do you have a pet? We have three dogs and they are a part of our family in a big way. If you do have pets, I'm sure you feel the same way we do. They bring us such joy and happiness. We, of course, want to treat them like they're family and we do.
I was standing in the pet store the other day and I was looking for some new food for my dogs. I was actually looking at the different foods and reading the labels on each bag. When I was doing this there were many people that came by and began doing the same thing. We were all checking out the bags and started to ask each other questions. You know like, "What do you feed your dog"? Or, "Have you ever tried this one before?"
At that moment I just stopped in my tracks and it hit me. I was blown away because it brought everything into focus for me. All these people were standing there reading the label for their precious pets. They were looking for the best nutritious food they could find. I had to ask myself, "Why do people do this for their pets and not themselves?" We become label readers for our pets, but not for us.
Not only are we label readers, we actually don't mind spending money for quality food for our pets. Have you checked the price for quality dog food lately? Every bag I looked at was pretty expensive and please keep in mind we have 3 dogs. It gets a bit spendy on a monthly basis, but we do it. We want them to grow up big and strong.
Reading labels is a good start for better health, but the challenge everyone has is understanding the label. It is hard to read some of the ingredients or figure out if it's actually something other than what it says it is. The reason I say that is because the name for aspertame can be found disguised as many other names. So what are you supposed to do? If you question one of the ingredients or you can't pronounce it then put it back on the shelf.
There is one thing I do to make sure that I never find myself in that situation. I follow the "7 Day Challenge" protocol. It is an amazing schedule of products that provide me with powerful nutrients. I also have a health coach at my disposal should I have any questions about any of the ingredients.
I have a tremendous amount of confidence in these products because I have been on this protocol for over 240 days. My results have been amazing as I have released 15 pounds, 10% body fat and I'm now 21 years younger metabolically. The next time you are reading a pet food label please start to think about the food you eat. You deserve the best food on the planet and you won't find any finer food than Isagenix. Don't believe me? Then read the labels!

Obamacare Changes Everything
Yesterday's Supreme Court ruling was shocking to many Americans and I'm sure many people around the world. The long and short of the ruling is that Congress can now put a tax on human behavior or the inactivity of it. Being taxed if you don't buy health care insurance is unthinkable. This Supreme Court ruling changes everything about what role the government plays in our lives.
If the government can tax us for not buying health care insurance, can they then tax us for not going to the gym 4 times a week? How about if we don't eat certain types of foods? I'm not sure where this will end, but at the moment this is not a good thing for Americans.
Aren't we supposed to be free to make our own decisions instead of the government telling us what is good for us? Does the government think they know better than we do on how to care for ourselves? I have been working very hard to take responsibility for my own health by following an amazing Protocol of nutrient dense food that is Gluten free and GMO free. What if I became so healthy that I decided to stop paying for health care insurance because I never get sick? Under the current law, I would be penalized and would have to pay a tax for not buying health care insurance. THAT IS ABSURD!!
Even if I do become so healthy that I won't need health insurance, I guess I could buy the cheapest health care coverage that is on the market. The question is, "Will that be less costly than the tax for not buying the coverage"? It is still hard for me to get my head around this new law and the ramifications for all Americans. I don't believe taxing Americans for not buying health coverage is the answer to lowering health care costs. On the contrary, it will raise costs so much that the average person will not be able to afford it.
I am a small business owner and what this means for my company is that I will be forced to pay the tax for not offering health care to my employees. Why would I do that? Simply because the tax is lower than the cost to pay for my employees premiums. The government is basically forcing everyone to purchase insurance from one of these health insurance exchanges. Do you think that your health care will improve under this plan? I'm going to have to say NO. Think about it, you will have millions of more people on these plans which means the quality of health care going down. They estimate adding between 20 and 30 million more people that currently don't have insurance to these plans. Couple that with all of the new people going on the plan because their employer decided to pay the tax instead of covering the employee. What you have will be chaos and the quality of care will go down.
Once the government is in control of our health care then they will be able to dictate how much to pay a doctor for each service they perform. They will be able to determine who should get a surgery and who should not. They will have the power to set up "death panels" and determine who should live and who should die. If you think I'm overboard then thing again. I have read parts of the bill and it is scary and most Americans have no idea the magnitude of this law or what's in the bill. I seem to remember, then speaker Pelosi, making a comment that they'll have to pass the bill to see what's in it. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
What is at stake is not just healthcare, but our freedoms. The freedom to make our own decisions about our health, our wealth and our lives. If you take that away from us then we cease to be America because that is what makes America great. Maybe that's why so many people want to immigrate to the US, because we are the land of the free and the home of the brave. Yesterday's decision is changing that to land of the not so free and the home of the cowards.

You Have To Want It
I speak to so many people every day that are looking for that magic pill that will provide them the easiest way to lose weight and get healthy. I think you know as well as I do that there is no such pill. I also realize that it won't stop people from attaching themselves to the next big thing that will help them get over the hump, if it is easy.
As a society, how did we get here? I mean, this mindset that we only want the easy way out instead of working for it. A magic pill that will give us the body we want and still allow us to eat what we want. This notion that you can be good for a short time and see results, only lasts for a short time. Once you come down from that wonderful feeling of accomplishment, you are right back where you started from...looking for that magic pill.
So often people tell me that they will try anything to lose weight and get healthy. I sympathize with them, but know that what they are looking for is a miracle or once again, an easy way out. They always have good intentions and will try just about anything, but they are lacking one important ingredient. That is, an actual burning desire to change. Every time they start out on a new adventure to change their lives for the better, it gets derailed because it is too hard. This goes back to that burning desire or should I say, lack there of.
When it comes to food and losing weight, it is difficult for the majority of people to think clearly and separate the two. In order to lose weight you have to be aware of the food you are consuming. I would say most people think they are doing a good job by eating less food or cutting out certain types of food, but that is not the issue. The challenge most people have is between their ears. I really can't blame them because our society is so engulfed in marketing and advertising that it is hard to know what is good for you or bad for you.
This is where education comes in, but then again, this is something that you have to want to learn about. If people took the time to educate themselves about our food supply then I believe it would be easier for them to make the right choices. I didn't say they would, just that it would give them a choice. Just because you follow a diet doesn't mean it is a good one. You will probably lose some weight, but is that your ultimate goal? What happens after the diet is over? Can you maintain it? I believe that 95% of people that go on a diet are back on one in a very short time.
No magic pills are going to get it done. The only magic you need is the willingness to change. You have to want it. I know you think you do want it because you were able to follow the diet, but that is not wanting it. Wanting it is changing your lifestyle even if it means giving up your favorite foods. For me, I have changed my lifestyle by eating nutrient dense food 99% of the time. I talk the talk and walk the walk. I can proudly say that I have changed because I wanted it bad enough. When you can make a radical change like I did, then you can say the same thing...that you wanted it so bad you could taste it (no pun intended).
If you truly want to change then stop looking and hoping for that magic pill. Take action and get serious about your health. If you don't WHO WILL?

Strolling Through A Grocery Store
As you may or may not know by now, I don't go to a grocery store to buy food. When I do go into a store it is to buy other things like light bulbs or paper towels, etc. I was in a grocery store recently and it was amazing!
It was amazing because I could walk through the entire store with food all around me and I didn't care one way or the other. The reason it is meaningless to me is because I have shifted my mindset about food. When I walk up and down the aisles now, all I see is Gluten, GMOs and Chemicals. All the research I have done about our food supply comes flooding to my brain and I realize how fortunate I am. I'm lucky because I no longer am held hostage by food. Food doesn't dominate my life like it did before and it is the best feeling in the world.
Advertising and Marketing is so huge in this country because it dictates what we eat and how we think about food. The only challenge with that is most of the advertising is misleading. I love the ads that use the words: light, fat free, low carb, 97% fat free, half the sugar, etc. Mind blowing, considering it doesn't matter what these ads say because these foods are still bad for you. I'm not saying all foods in a grocery store are bad for you. I'm just saying that the majority of them are.
Imagine eating quality food that is Gluten Free and GMO Free! Imagine that you don't have to drive anywhere to get that food. Imagine that the food is nutrient dense super food. Imagine that it provides your body with everything it needs to nourish and cleanse the body. Imagine consuming this food is convenient and portable, in addition to having no dishes to wash and very little garbage to take out. Imagine having no wasted food to throw out because you don't have any food that could be spoiled.
I realize that this seems like it is futuristic, but I assure you it is happening right now. The only thing that is stopping someone from better health utilizing these foods is the courage to take a stand. If you know that the food in our system is polluted and bankrupt of nutrition, then why are you still eating it? I know it is hard making the switch to all nutrient dense food, but how much is your health worth? Would you rather spend more money later in life or a little more now so you avoid those medical bills in the future?
Strolling through the grocery store is such a great experience for me. I love watching what people put in their carts and it makes me want to go up to the front of the store, grab a microphone and do my seminar on our current food supply. Educating people in the store would be rewarding until I see them walk out of the store with empty calories and products that could cause many illnesses now and in the future. It is so sad to me, but then again I have done something that most people don't want to do. That is take responsibility for my health right now. I don't want to wait till it's too late as so often happens to the majority of Americans.
The next time you are in a grocery store try something new. I don't mean a new product, I mean try to read labels and think about what you are putting in your cart. You and your family deserve the best, so why not provide them with products that will nourish them instead of harm them. Do what I did and turn to a different type of grocery store where all the products actually help you achieve better health. My grocery store is called ISAGENIX. It is an amazing store filled with quality food products that are chemical free (including GMO free) and most of the products are Gluten free. I can't think of a better place to shop and I never have to leave my house!! Try it, you'll like it. Contact me today.

Any Doctors Ready To Make The Shift?
I know several people that have gone through medical school and then residency and finally got a job. It is a long and grueling task to become a Doctor today. After all, there are going to be millions of people that die from cancer and other diseases over the next couple of decades and they need to be cared for.
What I find really amazing is that all of the schooling they go through, they get maybe 2 weeks on nutrition training. Of course, I understand the reason behind it. Most people in the US are going to get some type of illness or disease and the Doctor has to know how to treat it. We are going to need a lot of Doctors because there is going to be a lot of sickness in this country. That is, unless we make a shift!!
The shift I'm speaking of is to "Wellness". How about learning more about nutrition and the benefits of it? How about studying natural ingredients and the positive affects they could have on an individual? Natural cures that are actually working on a high percentage so you won't need medications to mask the issue?
Who knows the future of health care and where it will be a decade from now. Health care costs continue to climb with no end in sight. Why is this happening? I believe for one, that the system is incredibly inefficient. Add regulations upon regulations and then throw big money at it from the pharmaceutical companies and you have a recipe for a bloated health care system.
I realize that there is huge amount money at stake, but at what cost? It boils down to the cost of American lives. American lives that could be spared if we had an honorable system that cared about the people in it. So many medications for every thing under the sun, even ones that you think they are making up. If there is a symptom, then there is a fix from Big Pharma. Ever notice the advertising dollars spent on drugs that you never heard of? They always finish the commercial with all the side effects that could occur if you take their medication. Mind numbing.
So Doctors are going to be faced with a choice. Continue practicing a profession that is being priced out of sight or find another line of work. When medical costs go up there is less for the Doctor and it is evident today because most Doctors won't take on any new Medicare patients. There is no money in it. What if the US went to a single payer system? What would the quality of care be like then?
The country is getting ready for a paradigm shift in the health care industry. There is a grass roots effort to educate people and let them know that there is an alternative to our current health care system. It is called "Wellness" and it is beginning to catch on. I believe it all starts with our food. The Protocol that I'm on right now is proof that there is another way to nourish the body than with traditional food. Nutrient dense food is the future and there is no other company that comes close to providing people in 8 countries a way to achieve better health then Isagenix.
Isagenix is leading the way with a complete system for better health. I know it works because I have been on a high 90% Protocol of Gluten free, GMO free nutrient dense super food for over 230 days. I will NEVER go back to eating "food" again. My message for the Doctors out there is that you have a choice. Do the right thing for your patient and your conscience and learn more about this new emerging industry. You"ll be glad you did, even if it's for yourself. Better health can be achieved with the right products that contain the right nutrients.

Mind Shift About Food
I know I talk a lot about changing my lifestyle when is comes to the food I eat, but there is obviously more to it than that. I mean, the only way to really change the way you eat is to shift the way you think about food. The way to shift the way you think about food can be done in a couple of ways. The first way is to educate yourself about food and the other is to eat real food that has nutrition.
I know that most Americans think they eat real food, but nothing could be further from the truth. What Americans think is real food is actually empty calories. They believe they are consuming something that will help their bodies satisfy a need, but unfortunately the only thing they're satisfying is a craving for food. The American diet does ZERO for people looking for something healthy to eat.
I've done a bit of research on the subject and can tell you that our food is depleted of vital nutrients because the soil is depleted of essential nutrients. I'm sure you have heard the statistics about eating a bowl of spinach in the 1950's and how you would have to eat 35 bowls today to get the same vitamins and minerals as in one bowl back then. Have you had your 35 bowls of spinach today?
As a society we are so conditioned to eating food that tastes good, but is actually so bad for us. If you think about the food choices you make on a daily basis and analyze the calories in those foods, I think you would be blown away at the number you eat and the fact that it probably contains dangerous chemicals that you don't even know is in the food. But as long as it tastes good and it satisfies your cravings then you are taking the easy way out. After all, people can't live without their favorite "BAD" food.
If you shifted your mindset and began reading labels and doing research on the meat industry and the dairy industry, I believe you would have a rude awakening. You would discover that the food in our food supply is actually dangerous. How many people would eat from a label that states: "WARNING! THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS CHEMICALS THAT COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH AND THE FUTURE EFFECTS ARE UNKNOWN". I'm sure there would be many people out there that would ignore that warning because they are blinded by their desire to have their favorite food. Food can be that addicting.
The way that I shifted my mindset about food was first educating myself and then I began to consume food that was loaded with nutrition. By doing that I began to see my cravings dwindle down to nothing. The more nutrition I put in my body the less cravings I had. When I say my cravings decreased, I would have to say that is an understatement. I have lost my cravings for "food " altogether and now crave only food with nutrition.
In the beginning of my journey changing my mindset about food, I had a bit of a battle with myself. Even though I wasn't hungry because I flooded my body with quality protein, fiber, antioxidants, etc., I would find myself eating out of habit. That soon disappeared because I was so satisfied with my "7 Day Challenge" Protocol that I just stopped eating "food" 99% of the time. I created a mind shift from empty calorie food to nutrient dense food. I know it is difficult for a lot of people to make that shift in their minds due to the conditioning toward food from birth, but it can be done. You just have to have a desire for better health and the commitment to follow through on that desire.
For those that just can't imagine not eating "food", I would say that at some point in time you will pay the price for the enjoyment of eating chemical laden food. Yes, it is in small trace amounts, but over time it will effect your body and illness and disease will follow. Imagine your health care costs then. Even if you can't make the shift as I have, try and make it 50% of the time. Who is kidding who, any percentage would be better than what you are doing now.
You can do it! You've heard the phrase "Mind Over Matter", well now is the time to make the SHIFT no matter what your mind tells you.
I know that most Americans think they eat real food, but nothing could be further from the truth. What Americans think is real food is actually empty calories.

If you think about the food choices you make on a daily basis and analyze the calories in those foods, I think you would be blown away at the number you eat and the fact that it probably contains dangerous chemicals that you don't even know is in the food. But as long as it tastes good and it satisfies your cravings then you are taking the easy way out. After all, people can't live without their favorite "BAD" food.
If you shifted your mindset and began reading labels and doing research on the meat industry and the dairy industry, I believe you would have a rude awakening. You would discover that the food in our food supply is actually dangerous. How many people would eat from a label that states: "WARNING! THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS CHEMICALS THAT COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH AND THE FUTURE EFFECTS ARE UNKNOWN". I'm sure there would be many people out there that would ignore that warning because they are blinded by their desire to have their favorite food. Food can be that addicting.
The way that I shifted my mindset about food was first educating myself and then I began to consume food that was loaded with nutrition. By doing that I began to see my cravings dwindle down to nothing. The more nutrition I put in my body the less cravings I had. When I say my cravings decreased, I would have to say that is an understatement. I have lost my cravings for "food " altogether and now crave only food with nutrition.
In the beginning of my journey changing my mindset about food, I had a bit of a battle with myself. Even though I wasn't hungry because I flooded my body with quality protein, fiber, antioxidants, etc., I would find myself eating out of habit. That soon disappeared because I was so satisfied with my "7 Day Challenge" Protocol that I just stopped eating "food" 99% of the time. I created a mind shift from empty calorie food to nutrient dense food. I know it is difficult for a lot of people to make that shift in their minds due to the conditioning toward food from birth, but it can be done. You just have to have a desire for better health and the commitment to follow through on that desire.
For those that just can't imagine not eating "food", I would say that at some point in time you will pay the price for the enjoyment of eating chemical laden food. Yes, it is in small trace amounts, but over time it will effect your body and illness and disease will follow. Imagine your health care costs then. Even if you can't make the shift as I have, try and make it 50% of the time. Who is kidding who, any percentage would be better than what you are doing now.
You can do it! You've heard the phrase "Mind Over Matter", well now is the time to make the SHIFT no matter what your mind tells you.

Expanding Globally
When you get right down to it if you are in business you are going to have to expand your products and services globally at some point. It is the business model for the 21st Century. Once you build a network of people globally, then you can introduce new products and services to this network. Everyone in the network can share in the benefits of developing the network.
Isagenix is currently in 8 countries and will be launching two new countries very soon. Every once in awhile I do a post of the expansion of this incredible company. I am always looking for entrepreneurs to help me build a network in others countries as well as the United States.
I have a couple of team members in Australia and hoping that will lead me to people in Malaysia and Singapore. There are so many different languages in the world, but the language of health is the same. Every one in the world deserves better health and they can find it if they open their minds and think outside the box.
What I mean by that is looking at food in a different way. Imagine not relying on "traditional food" to sustain oneself. After all, the food in this country and many others is bankrupt of nutrition and polluted. I thought we were intelligent people? Why would you knowingly put dangerous chemicals in your body. I guess there is one reason and that is because you don't know you are doing so. You see, in the US there are no labeling laws which means that consumers have no idea they are buying products that contain harmful chemicals. Other countries, on the other hand forbid any GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) to enter their country. Isagenix takes the guess work out of knowing if you are eating things you shouldn't because they don't put them in their products. They are all Chemical Free!
So if you live in Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia or Singapore please contact me if you know of anyone who is looking for better health. If you know someone that is looking to make extra income or a networker, please let me know. If you are the first in a country to begin referring people to a new way of eating that will improve their health then I want to talk to you. Especially if you know someone in Singapore and Malaysia.
Remember that when it comes to health we all speak the same language. Please leave your contact info and I'll respond quickly with additional information so you can make an informed decision.
