We look forward to having you and/or your friends join us on our next 30 Day Body Transformation program! Let us get you started on your path to New Year New You!

At this time of year, it is always important to reflect on the year just passed. What were the milestones? What where the challenges? Did you meet the goals you set out for yourself? What were the surprises? What were the moments that took your breath away?

First off, since I can barely remember what I did last week, I start by looking at my calendar. What the heck was I doing in January 2011? I love this part, because I get to relive all the amazing adventures that took place over the course of the past year.

The highlight of the year was taking the month of March to travel with Jeffrey to one of our favourite destinations – Utah. Starting out with a week of snowboarding in Park City, Utah we encountered something we had yet to see ~ powder!!! Every snowboarders dream!! We stayed right in the village; we took in a hot tub at the end of each day of skiing, and enjoyed the many touristy restaurants. We left Park City and headed south to Moab where we switched gears and got the mountain bikes out. Not only that, but we rented dirt bikes. After taking an hour lesson back home a few months earlier, we hit the trails. Now talk about being scared $$hitless and loving every minute of it!!! Man, that was a rush ~ not only the most incredible landscape, but the adrenaline from that little engine was exhilarating. Talk about not being cheap though ~ this joy ride turned out to costs us a pretty penny since we loved it so much, we just HAD to purchased two dirt bikes over the summer. It was a great purchase as it is something we have come to love and enjoy doing together. Okay, back to our 30 day adventure….next after our week in Moab, we ventured south even further to Sedona, AZ. Another beautiful place to ride and an incredible city filled with shops, restaurants and outdoor activities. Jeff had booked us a quaint cabin in the mountains just for two.

It was just a month later that Jeff and I took flight again to beautiful Del Coronado, San Diego where my company treated both of us to a beautiful weekend with others leaders, and the co-founders of Isagenix. We had a beautiful 6 course meal outside on the beach, an afternoon on a catamaran touring the island, and some time to relax with friends, new and old!! It was the first event that Jeffrey had been to and it was so wonderful to have him share in the weekend with me, to be able to introduce him the team and have them meet the man in my life. Family and balance are of the outmost priority!!

The following few months involved a trip to Edmonton for our nephew Austin’s Graduation. It was a wonderful opportunity to get the family together, with the exception of Jeffrey who had to miss it due to work commitments!! August saw me back in San Diego and then Stockton in October for training events.

Jeffrey started French Language Training in July and is doing so well that we can have dinner with my family and spend the entire evening speaking French. Yes, for those of you who didn’t know, I am French Canadian! With a maiden like Blouin…. was there really any questions? lol

2011 was the first full year of operations for Altitude Gym, the climbing gym we opened the year prior along with 10 other investors. Jeff has taken on the major responsibilities on our part, and has spent numerous hours doing business plans, managing staff, putting out fires. It is at times like these that it is good to have someone who knows how to get things done!!! The feedback we have received from the community has been exceptional. Often, we I bump into friends, they have either heard of someone who climbs at our gym, or has had their child’s birthday party, or team party at Clip ‘N Climb. With our first gym having a resounding success, it should not be to anyone surprise that the next one is well underway and projected opening is August 2112 in Laval, Quebec. Those French lessons will certainly come in handy.

This was also the year Jeffrey and I both turned 40!!! Yes, a milestone indeed. What we’ve come to realize is that you truly are only as old as you think you are. And let me tell you, we don’t feel a day older than 30. It’s my opinion that it’s once you stop dreaming, that’s when you start aging. And our lives are filled with more adventures, and larger dreams than ever.

2011 was also my first full year pursuing my Isagenix Business full-time. My business has grown over 225% over last year. This has been achieved by helping more people get wildly healthy but most important, linking arms with others to want to do the same. My team has grown by nearly 2000 people in the last 365 days! That’s 2000 people that have experienced great health and benefited from personal coaching and group support towards reaching their goals. The proof is in the before and after pictures. I am very proud of what we’ve accomplished. I am prouder still of the incredible men and women who have joined our team and transforming lives. These are individuals who wanted to make a difference in the lives of others, but also their own.

Becoming an entrepreneur has certainly brought about a significant amount of changes to my life. Learning to be your own, boss, working from the comforts of your home, and managing a large team all come with great accomplishments and challenges. It has taught me a lot about myself. As the business grows, I learn, I transform, and I to grow. I love that I can do all this while building my business instead of at the expense of it. The last year has made we realize that if we set an intention, and share it with others, it will not only become a reality, but others will be inspired to join you and start making changes in their lives toward their dreams.

Without a doubt I can tell you that I am thrilled with my decision and have never looked back. I love having the flexibility to fit in my workouts, my new passion for hot yoga, riding, running with Voodoo on my schedule. Even now with the evenings turning dark so early, I have the opportunity to enjoy the sun and the beautiful weather everyday. I love having Voodoo sleeping at my feet as I type away at my computer, as he does right this minute. It is all about the small things. 

As we look ahead, in addition to opening another gym, we are looking at building our very own custom home. The plans are still at the initial phases, but they look extremely promising. That coupled with a couple of acres of land, overlooking Gatineau Parks, we are extremely excited. Although I envision lots and lots of work, choices of tiles, paint, furniture, fixtures, and so much more, it will be a wonderful experience to build our very own home in beautiful Dunrobin, a small town outside of Ottawa.

May 2012 will also mark my first mission work in Africa. After returning from Africa 2 years ago, I set the intention to go back one day in a “giving back” capacity. I am excited to be partnering up with Impact Malawi.org to build sustainable communities for children and their families. Our primary focus will be: CLEAN WATER by way of “Elephant Pumps” and ROCKET STOVES for a small community in Malawi. I will be hitting the ground on May 22nd, 2012.

I cannot express how grateful I am for the continued health of those we love, our friends, and our families. We are extremely blessed for the people we have in our life, the friendships we’ve made and the adventures we’ve shared with many of you. From the bottom of our hearts, we wish you all a New Year filled with good health, abundance, and joy.

We all deserve to be healthy in body and mind. We all deserve to be happy, inside and out. And we all deserve to be wealthy and live life to the fullest and make our dreams come true. What are you going to do in 2012 to make this a reality?

AS I SIT ON A PLANE…. flying over the magnificent Bryson’s Canyon and on the 5th or 6th trip of the year, I find myself amazed at the turn my life has taken over the course of the last 4 years. Four years ago I was going on eight years working as a Certified General Accountant, preparing budgets and financial statements for the University (Carleton University, Ottawa). I had a good job working 9-5, Monday through Friday earning a respectable salary and living.

THEN I WAS INTRODUCED to a program and product that helped drop two dress sizes and feel phenomenal. And before I knew it, I had officially started a HOME BASED BUSINESS. It didn’t feel like a business, but that’s because I didn’t know anything about this business. I wish I could tell you I got it straight away, but the truth is I didn’t. Really, I just kept having people asking what I was doing that was obviously working for me and I told them! And just like that, I was now easily covering the costs of my products and some extra dollars at the end of each week. But let me be honest here, even when that weekly e-mail with “you’ve earned $$ this week” got to be a part of my routine, and started paying for trips, I still didn’t get it!!!! It was about then that I went to an event where the co-founders of my company introduced themselves, but more importantly, introduced me to the concept of network marketing. BOOM!! Now I got it.

I tell you, I was so excited that I started reading up on this industry to learn more about it. I couldn’t believe what I was reading – not only is this industry the fastest growing industry in the 21th century, it is allowing more and more people an opportunity to create wealth and time freedom – something EVERY FAMILY is looking for.

I know, I know, I used to think like you – how can everyone possibly create wealth and have more time freedom? It can’t be that easy? Okay, let me get one thing out of the way – it is NOT easy, but it IS WORTH IT! The reality is that the reason most people aren’t creating MORE is because they aren’t OPEN to hearing more about it, and there aren’t willing to try.

I can try and tell you what you need to know, but even better, I can direct you – read Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Cash Flow Quadrant, and The Business of the 21st Century all by Robert Kiyosaki . Seriously, just read them!! They changed my life. Once I understood that the only way you can create wealth is to own a large business (over 500 people) and/or have millions of dollars to invest, you think I would have been discouraged, but I wasn’t for two reasons – LEVERAGE and RESIDUAL INCOME. I learnt that the reason Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki, and Warren Buffet recommend network marketing to everyone is that it is the only way the average person, family, mom, etc. could create leverage and residual income without having millions of dollars and a large business.

Robert Kiyosaki Explains Network Marketing:

Let me use my business as a example – after 3 years of doing network marketing part time – alongside my full-time job (another great perk of this business is that you can do it while you work your regular job), I had 2,800 in my organization and was earning a weekly residual income equivalent to over a million dollars in the bank!! Take that in for a moment!! So what did I do? Really, there isn’t a secret ~ I simply didn’t quit!! Well actually, at this point, I did quit, or better yet, I resigned from my corporate job as an Accountant. Yup, you read that right. And now one year later, I’ve built an organization of over 4,000 and earning residual income equivalent to several millions of dollars in the bank.

If you are wondering if this industry is something for you, then do yourself a favour, read the books I recommended above. Decide if you’re willing to work hard for 3-5 years and create yourself a life of abundance and time freedom. And when you get just as excited as i did, start doing some research on a company you want to align yourself with. Don’t take this step lightly – aligning yourself with the right company, the right products; a company that is solid and has a record of success.

It would be my pleasure to share with you what I have found in Isagenix – a company with integrity, backed by owners that have worked and been successful in the industry, as well as scientifically based products that are transforming lives and the best compensation on the market today that is helping people everywhere own their future!

TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE AND OWN YOUR FUTURE

WHY DO OUR BODIES AGE?

For centuries, man has searched far and wide for the solution to the problem of aging. Famous explorers traveled the globe, hoping for fame and fortune − and longer life − by discovering the fountain of youth. People turn to harsh treatments like chemical peels and Botox injections just to take a few years off their appearance. But none of these solutions tackle the real problem: the fact that every day our bodies are slowly aging and there is seemingly nothing that can be done about it.

SCIENCE BEHIND AGING

So why exactly do our bodies age? In the simplest terms, we age because our cells age. Almost everything in your body is made up of cells. As those cells age, so do their corresponding parts. As the cells in your skin age, for example, you’re more prone to develop wrinkles, age spots and more. But your body’s cells aren’t the only thing that causes you to age. Your body’s cells are constantly dividing, and when they do, your telomeres get shorter.

TELOMERES AND AGING?

To understand telomeres and how they affect aging, you have to get down to the subcellular level. Each of your cells contain millions of DNA molecules, coiled up like a spring. At the ends of the springs are long, repetitive sequences of DNA called telomeres.

When a cell divides, the DNA material in the chromosomes is copied through a process called DNA replication. But, when a chromosome is replicated, some sections at the end of the chromosome are unable to replicate. That means that since telomeres are at the end of chromosomes each time your cells divide you lose some telomeres. You are born with about 10,000 DNA bases that make up your telomeres. As your cells divide, you lose those bases as you age. But what does that mean for aging? As your telomeres get shorter, you start to notice the general signs of aging — loss of muscle strength, poor eyesight, memory problems and many others.

WHAT REALLY CAN BE DONE ABOUT AGING?

What is the link between telomeres and aging? For years, respected telomere scientist William H. Andrews, Ph.D. has studied the science behind telomeres and aging. What he has discovered in the past several years is that, while we can’t control our cells dividing, there are some things we can do to slow down the aging process. We’ve known for decades that getting more exercise, decreasing the toxins around us, and reducing stress can have an impact on how our bodies age.

But research actually shows that our bodies contain an enzyme, called telomerase that helps lengthen telomeres, effectively slowing down the aging cycle. Telomerase acts like an assembly line, lengthening telomeres as they shorten in our reproductive cells. Research has also shown that telomerase exists in all of our cells but is repressed. The key to the anti-aging effect is to unlock this telomerase in our cells.

What is setting realistic goals costing you?

Your dreams are more real than the conditions of the outside world. Like a Master Gardener, nurture them to life.

Many of us have been hypnotized by the world and our family belief systems that there is the “real world” and just plain old “fantasy”.

The “real world” looks something like this: you make just enough money to get by, you live at the whim of the government and the economy, you can’t become any more successful than those in your tribe, you have to follow all the rules, it’s more important to have security in life than passion, negative thinking is realistic, positive thinking is unrealistic and happiness is something you get if you’re lucky. Oh – and the outside world has more power over you than you do and things are done the way we do ‘em cuz that’s how it’s always been.

Sound familiar? Are you always setting realistic goals?

Guess what, everything I just wrote, and everything that many people still believe is just a story. Plain and simple. We believe a story, act on it and it comes true for us in our experience. Then, we tend to surround ourselves with like-minded people, who also believe the same story, and then BOOM – we are living proof that the story we tell ourselves is true and if we ever forget it, all the folks around us will be the first to remind us.

Being surrounded by like-minded people can be awesome – or – a major block to our dreams. It depends on what story the group is believing. If you believe the story above and hang out with folks who do too, then it will come true for you and the group.

But – if there is a Whisper within you, if there is a subtle nudge from within asking you to give up certainty, embrace Faith and step into the uncertainty of the unknown, then the group that believes the above story will try to convince you that you’re wrong. Not because you are wrong, of course. And not because they are bad people. They are just caught in the dream of the story that they tell themselves and you stepping out of that dream and following your own dream can be perceived as risky and potentially disastrous. So folks will do whatever they can to convince you otherwise, when they have bought into the story above.

There’s a new story we can tell ourselves. The story goes like this:

I am a unique expression of The Uni-verse. My gifts, talents and goals are unique; no one can do them the way that I can. It is my right as a human being who is alive and living right now to express those gifts. I feel called to a great adventure and I am willing to give is a resounding YES! I am here to Love and be Loved. I love myself enough to surround myself with people who also want to go on the adventure of life. I surround myself with like-minded dreamers, doers and journeyers. I love my tribe for their concern, but know that I find more certainty in embracing the unknown path of my dreams than I do staying home and staying safe. I know that The Uni-verse supports me at every step, and even though some steps may seem impossible to take, I will find a way to make one. I live in possibility. I take action to ground my dreams until they come true. I don’t have a deadline cuz’ this is my lifestyle. I am dreamer, a doer and a believer. I am here to be an expression of what’s possible. I no longer let the fear of the unknown hold me back. I trust myself; I trust The Uni-verse and I take steps daily outside of my comfort zone. I am here to shine my light so that those who are living their nightmare can see me living my dream and have hope. I am here to express my love, not hold it back. I am here to find my tribe of like-minded dreamers. And I will never stop because this is who I am. This is what my life is about.

Now – which story is true? The first one or the second one?

The truth is…. Whichever one you BELIEVE!

So, who is running the show today? Love or fear? And WHAT STORY are you telling yourself about what’s possible today? And based on that belief, what action are you taking?

Which story do you now WANT to tell? Which story WILL YOU TELL?

On Turning 40! Who me? I can still remember the details of my 30th birthday like it was yesterday. A good friend of mine Michelle surprised me by gathering a few new and old friends at Maxwell’s restaurant on Elgin Street. We ate, drank and celebrated a new era in my life.

My twenties were spent in University, moving from apartment to apartment after leaving the comforts of home, and finding my way from company to company – job to job. I spent most of my spare time working out, and on the ice, still playing on the National Ringette Team at the time. In my 30’s, I was looking forward to making some changes…after playing ringette for nearly 20 years, and spending numerous hours in the gym, I wanted to spend more time outdoors. That’s when I took up snowboarding with my friend Drea. It was just then that a friend asked me if I was interested in joining a 24 hour adventure race with her husbands’ colleagues. It was just what I was looking for.. . and as it turns out , how I met my husband.

Looking back, I would consider my thirties, my growing years. I completed my professional designation to become a Certified General Accountant which allowed me to earn higher positions within the Finance Office where I worked for the next 10 years. I met the most incredible man who made living life an adventure – truly fitting since we met doing an adventure race!! We’ve just this past week celebrated 8 years of marriage. We brought home Voodoo in 2003, our very own black Labrador Retriever that has brought me so much joy, and many kisses.

We got married and purchased our first home in Barrhaven that same year, to then move to Stittsville 2 years later where we reside still. We bought and sold various cars (my husband that is), and motorbikes ~ too many to list!! After putting on some weight by my mid-thirties (did I mention growing phase? HAHA!), I decided to do a nutritional cleansing program at the recommendation of a personal trainer Cindy Little. After experiencing incredible results (lost 18lbs and 17 ½ inches in less than two months), I decided to become a Health and Wellness coach myself and officially started my very first home based business. The following year, Jeffrey and I, along with 10 other investors opened an indoor rock climbing gym & children theme park in Gatineau, QC called Altitude Gym (www.altitudegym.ca). My husband used to tell me that our 30’s are our asset growing years, and I tend to agree with that too!

So what does that mean for my 40’s? I wouldn’t have imagined it back then, but the reality is that I am more excited now about what lies ahead than when I was at 30. I thought I would be just starting into a routine of sorts, instead I find myself taking on new challenges. After working 3 years part-time for my home based business, I decided to resign from my corporate job and pursue my passion full-time. From professional accountant to professional network marketer…now that’s quite the leap!! But for those who know me well, becoming a Health and Wellness coach and Business Trainer doesn’t seem like such a far stretch; in fact it’s quite a good fit. What a difference 10 years makes!!!!

Other plans include looking at purchasing a new custom home next year. Nothing large (no longer in the growing phase remember), but something more suited to us ~ perhaps with more land, a pond or lake and of course the 3 car garage. Did I happen to mention the two dirt bikes we purchased as our 40th gift to each other? After taking a month off and riding the dirt trails in Moab, Utah this past March, I was hooked.

We are also expanding our climbing gym and looking to build two more within the next year in Montreal. Also next year, I will be heading back to Africa to do some work in Malawi, supporting villages and helping build water wells and rocket stoves. This is in partnership with PK Smith and Impact Malawi which is a beautiful organization that has to date built numerous nursery schools, and help build various sustainable projects in villages in Malawi (www.impactmalawi.org). Looking ahead even further, I am starting to mull over our plans for our first 6 months trip around the world in 2014…

So what was it like – turning 40 that is? In my case, it meant CELEBRATING!! First, a surprise birthday party with friends on a Pirate Ship.. yes, you read that right, a Pirate Ship! Who knew we had a Pirate Ship in Ottawa?? I certainly didn’t. And then again in San Diego with many of my team and friends decked out in Super Hero costumes!! A huge shout out to my husband, my dear friend Jen and my incredible sister-in-law Barb for arranging them or course!! If this years’ birthday party themes are any indication of what lies ahead, it is going to be AMAZING!!!!

So in a word, what does turning forty mean to me ~ it’s about ENJOYING it, being immersed it in, LIVING it!! Certainly, it means more perspective and definitely more gratitude for what I have in my life.

Two years ago this August, I attended my very first Celebration event, which is the largest annual event put on by the company. I’m still not sure what possessed me to go in the first place! I had experienced great results on the Isagenix System – lost 18 pounds and 2 dress sizes, but what I didn’t expect was the extra energy and how after a night sleep I now felt rested and ready to go when my alarm went off. WOW! So when people started to see the changes in me and wanted to know what the heck I was doing, I did what any friend would do – I not only told them, I got them started on their own journey. Before I knew it, I was getting my products paid for. Later that year when my sister asked me if I would help her realize a dream to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa, I said “ABSOLUTELY”! I would just set aside what was now a regular stream of income every week to fund the trip and I did just that in the next 6 months.

It was at this 1st Celebration event in Anaheim in 2009 that I truly saw the possibilities that Isagenix had to offer. This was about so much more than paying for a trip, funding a shopping spree; this was about having choices, lots of choices!!!

I got excited and got to work – started sharing my passion to help others reach their health goals, but also helping others cover the costs of their products, build a secondary stream of income part-time, or if interested, in creating a full-time income working part-time as I had done.

As I return from my 3rd Celebration Event this week, and just short of my 4th year in Isagenix (started August 31st, 2007), I find myself in complete and utter gratitude of where I find myself today. I am in the most incredible place – working for myself but not by myself, having built a team now over 3,400 Associates and working closely with over 40 business partners interested in creating health, wealth and freedom for themselves and the people around them. I have made the most incredible friendships that will last a lifetime.

So what is this check about you ask? In our company, you are rewarded for helping others reach their goals, both in terms of health and wealth. You are not only rewarded for sharing what we have, but in building a team and helping them to do the same. Isagenix rewards you for you for working within your team because their goals are just as important as your own. In fact, I would argue that their success is even more important – and when you have that heart of service, which is truly what this company stands for, they stand behind you 100%. So as I walked around the airport this past weekend with a LARGE check, while “jaws dropped” at the cheer magnitude of the $21,389.78 I held in hand, it is then that I realized that it’s not in trying to impress others that I serve, but instead by planting the seed that this is “possible”. Humbled by this incredible responsibility and grateful to be in a position to inspire others to reach for the stars and to start dreaming again, I stand just a little taller, just a little prouder and a lot more awkward ~ carrying around two pieces of luggage, a carry-on, a purse, and did I mention a really, really large check will do that to you!! HAHA!

If you are still wondering whether having “choices” is possible for you, let me stand here, two feet planted firmly on the ground and say: “absolutely”!!

Love the life you live, and live the life you dream. Contact me today and I can show you a great vehicle to get you on your way and one step closer to YOUR dreams!

I would love to share what I have found to be the vehicle for me:

How could I have possibly earned my highest paying week in a month while on holidays traveling across the US?

When people ask me what I do, I sometimes find it difficult to explain. Well, you know how in the news they talk about toxicity – the air we breathe, the water we drink and food we eat? And you know how research has also indicated that our food is no longer providing our bodies with the nutrients, vitamins and minerals it requires to thrive (note how I didn’t use the word survive)  because of industrialization and soil deficiency?  I help people address both of these areas, and i have the pleasure of watching friends, family and strangers alike transform their health,and their bodies. I have the best job you can imagine – I help people get their health back, and for some, their LIFE back.

The body is truly an amazing piece of work. It is by fault of ‘progress’ that we find ourselves in such a predicament, but the good news is that it is NEVER too late to regain what’s been lost along the way.

As I write this I am reminded of the phone call I received from a mom of three young children, all under the age of 5, called me after a week on the program to tell me she couldn’t believe that she has the energy to ‘play’ with her kids, whereas before she pushed through each day, just surviving and longing to really connect with them. Not a problem anymore!  Or a childhood friend who as a result of gaining weight after her first born, didn’t feel great about herself and in just 30 days on the program she not only transformed her body, but got her groove back.  She looked and FELT amazing and called to tell me that she felt alive again, and felt her marriage strengthen as a result.  Can you imagine how it feels to have such an impact on peoples lives – to help a mother connect and play with her children, to help a wife feel good enough to reconnect with her husband on every level.  How much do I love what I do? I FREAKN’ LOVE IT!

Now here’s the kicker – If you had told me 4 years ago that I would have been doing something that I absolutely loved and in the process built an organization of over 4,000 people, and created a substantial residual income that grows daily,  I seriously would have told you you were crazy!  And here’s where it gets interesting – i help others, and that is by far the only reason this works for me; but in doing so, the company rewards me by providing me a commission on every order, everytime, no minimums, no limits, infinitely, and absolutely no caps!   In collaboration with others who have experienced similar results, and choose to share Isagenix, my team continues to grow with or without me; and everyone they share it with, no matter when or how far down the line, is added to MY organization . Think about that for a minute? Or better yet, let me give you an example – I have personally shared this incredible program with just over 100 people, but MY organization is nearly 3,800 associates strong. Where did all the other people come from? From the team! That is the power of leverage folks!!! The team builds together, and not in spite of each other, which means we support one and other every step along the way.

I know what your thinking – Is this legal? And my answer to you is YES!!! When people ask me “is Network marketing legal?” my first response is emphatically YES, but then I like to go on to explain that not only is it legal, it is the fastest growing industry and it is also creating more 6 and 7 figure income earners than any other industry in the world. So am I in the right place? Absolutely!!

What this meant for me in March was that while I was away snowboarding, mountain biking, and spending time with my man, my team was MULTIPLYING and  I actually made the most commission (or any income for that matter)  that I have ever earned.  My team continued to grow and reach personal best of their own while I was away.  How incredible is that? That is truly the power of a team.

As I write this three weeks later, on a plane on my way to San Diego for another week of holidays with my husband, I too wonder how I got here.  But the truth is that I just stuck with it. I kept caring and sharing with others and I not only enriched their lives, but mine too.

I too had the same concerns as you do – I don’t have time, this business is not for me, I am not a salesperson, I can’t possibly be successful at network marketing, is network marketing legal? Yup, I’ve said them all. But what I realized over time was that I do have time to create the life I desire, I am capable of working with a team of people and work together towards a common goal,  I can easily share what I love with others, and I have found the product, the company and the industry of network marketing to be the only way for a professional accountant like myself to earn a full-time income while working part-time.  In 4 years, I have not only surpassed my professional income, but doubled it, and now have the freedom I had never imagined for myself.

Have I told you lately how much I love what do? I  absolutely love it, and I love  my life!!!

Many people have been asking me what the heck is a TELOMERE and what is “Product B”! So I thought I would provide you some information about this GROUND BREAKING product that I have the extreme pleasure of testing for Isagenix and share a little about how telomeres and aging are linked!

First let me tell you a little about TELOMERES!! Recent studies are finding links between theories of aging, which could open doors for research into groundbreaking therapies – and they all have to do with TELOMERES!!

A new study on mice published in Nature has added validation to research that is being performed by Bill Andrews, Ph.D., who has partnered with Isagenix Founder John Anderson to “turn back the clock” on aging. Their approach is to screen thousands of natural product compounds a week to turn on the enzyme, telomerase, in cells to protect telomere length and reverse its loss.

Telomeres are protective sequences of repetitive non-coding DNA segments found at the end of chromosomes. In recent years, telomere length has been hypothesized to be the closest way to measure lifespan in humans. THINK ABOUT THIS – THEY CAN NOW MEASURE OUR LIFESPAN BY TESTING OUR DNA!! Holly crap… So to answer your question, yes, telomeres and aging are linked!

In this latest study, Harvard Medical School researchers found that mice lacking telomerase aged much more rapidly, and died earlier, as an abundance of critically short telomeres developed. But when the enzyme was reawakened in the mice, age-related symptoms disappeared and rejuvenation was seen in several organs including their brains.

So what do we need to do to help? First off, living a healthy lifestyle supports telomeres. Boy am I thankful for making some of the changes I made in the past few years and incorporating such incredible products that support optimal health into my lifestyle. I’ve always exercised and ate relatively well, but it’s clear more than ever, that is not enough! Furthermore, Vitamin D, Omega 3s, pharmaceutical grade multivitamins also ALL help support telomeres. All of this can be achieved using the Isagenix Nutritional Cleansing and Replenishing Systems. Don’t hesitate to ask how I can help you with this. I would love to assist you in LIVING HEALTHY AND LIVING LONG!!

Things that DON’T support telomeres are: smoking, obesity, toxicity, lack of exercise, stress, etc. These are all things that speed up the aging process – nothing new there!

Much research in being done on finding ways to support telomeres even further. Most of the research being done however, is looking to pharmaceutical (chemical formulations) to do this. Bill Andrews along with John Anderson, are working on developping NATURAL BOTANICAL ingredients to support telomeres, which is extremely exciting.

What’s even more exciting is that I am testing their “Product B”!! How cool is that? The product is made up of various natural botanicals which are proven to support telomeres. Let me tell you, from all the research that is being done, and early studies , I am SUPER EXCITED about being one of the first to try it.

You should google it for yourself…there is A LOT of information on the web regarding the researchthat is being done, and the initial results of testing!! Google – TELOMERES!! Here a just a few interesting articles I found:

1 – Importance of Healthy Lifestyle

2 – Shorter telomeres are linked to cancer

Check out more about Product B and how it supports telomeres and aging:

I will be documenting EVERYTHING, filling out surveys, and keeping track of my results for the next few months. The true test will be the RESULTS I see in myself…

Sugar Burning Versus Fat Burning

How The Body Works – The human body is an amazing machine. It has between 60 and 70 trillion cells. Each
of those cells has it’s own individual “furnace” that makes that cell function. That furnace is called the mitochondria. In order to heat up the mitochondria in the cell and therefore help raise our metabolism our bodies require over 70 trace minerals and live, active enzymes daily combined with proper nutrition.
Our bodies are designed to burn fat. If you are overweight it’s a sure sign that you are not burning fat, you are burning sugar. We are going to talk about how to get those furnaces ignited again and get your body burning fat.

We have all been led to believe that dieting is what we need to do to lose weight. Wrong. Look around you — it doesn’t work. When you reduce calories you slow down the metabolism and shut down the mitochondria. Then when you stop the diet and begin to eat more calories again, your body now has less mitochondria fired up, your metabolism is sluggish, you have elevated levels of cortisol (a stress hormone that causes fat storage) and when you start eating again you put weight back on very quickly.

When you burn fat cells, the impurities are released into your system. Minerals and trace minerals carry the impurities away from the body tissue to the liver then allow the liver to deliver those impurities to the colon and out of the body. Without minerals this function does not happen. The soils in our country are severely depleted of minerals… we no longer get adequate minerals from the foods we eat. Isagenix products include 72 ionic minerals and trace minerals plus live, active enzymes. The minerals allow the enzymes to carry waste products from the cells to the liver. The liver produces bile that carries the waste products to the colon and out of the body. Without the minerals and enzymes, the impurities just get re-circulated throughout the body. Eventually the body recognizes those impurities as something toxic and creates fat cells to enrobe them, then puts them back into storage as fat.

Sugar-Burning Mode:
Your brain needs glucose (complex sugar) to function. Without carbohydrates/complex sugar your body burns lean muscle mass for fuel — that is sugar-burning. Sugar burning creates an acidic environment in the body, which is the breeding ground for disease. This acid environment causes further stress and more cortisol to lock down the fat stores.

Sugar-burning mode also leaches minerals from the bones. It increases the hormones insulin and cortisol. Those two “storage” hormones lock down the fat cells, lower the metabolism and put your body into the mode of burning lean muscle mass. Sugar-burning prevents the cells from absorbing oxygen. When the cells can’t absorb oxygen they can’t function properly and mutation occurs, otherwise known as disease. Sugar-burning also stops brain chemistry hormone production.

Fat-Burning Mode:
Fat-burning mode lowers insulin and cortisol levels, produces proper brain chemistry, gets oxygen into the cells and hydrates the cells. In fat-burning mode water goes into the cells and flushes out the acid and impurities that are stored there. Those acids and impurities circulate through the system until they are removed through the liver and colon or kidneys and bladder.

Re-cap:
When you lose weight by reducing calories you slow down your metabolism and the cell’s mitochondria. When you start eating again you put the weight right back on because 1) the furnaces and metabolism have been shut down
2) without adequate minerals and enzymes the impurities still float around inside your body and are eventually stored back to fat.

The trick here is to get adequate nutrition balanced with proper glucose for brain function and ALL 70 minerals to flush the impurities out of the system along with living, active enzymes. Isagenix has all this built in. It takes 2 days of cleansing with Cleanse For Life Drink to get your body into fat burning mode.
The only way to detoxify your body is to suspend digestion. The Isagenix cleanse is designed with 2 back-to-back days of cleansing with Cleanse For Life Drink for this reason: after you suspend digestion for only 4 hours your body begins to produce the hormones that make lean muscle mass and increase your metabolism. The first 24 hours your body cleanse the sugars from the liver. The second 24 hours is when the body begins to burn fat.
