Happy Valentine's day and if you want to have an ounce of dark chocolate, go ahead!!!  And then take a walk or go to the gym today - LOVE yourself - that is the key!!! 

"One of the best things a person can do to show they care and love their heart is to be at a healthy weight and that's what we LOVE about Shaklee 180-- it's really a gift of love not only for yourself, but to share with others!" quote from a Shaklee friend who, together with his wife, they have lost over 120# and 85 inches on Shaklee 180!

Why would a Senior VP quit Shaklee Home Office?

I have some tremendously exciting news to share with you. After ten years of encouraging people to join Shaklee as a distributor, Laura Evans, our Senior Vice President of Sales has finally decided to listen to her own advice. Laura has decided to become a Field Leader in our business, which makes her the first senior executive at Shaklee to leave corporate to be a distributor!!

She has decided she wants what Shaklee has to offer all of us - she wants to have time to be a wife and mother, and help people, and build generational wealth for herself and her family! She wants FREEDOM & HEALTH, the only 2 products we offer! She chose the absolute best MLM in the universe. She could've gone anywhere - she has extensive experience in the industry, but she chose Shaklee, because we are the best. I'm not sure, but this may be a first in the Direct Selling Industry - one for the Guinness books?

In her own words....View a special video message in which Laura shares her excitement about this announcement!

Dear Fellow Shaklee Business Leaders,

I am so excited about the future growth I see for each of us in Shaklee. I am so confident in the incredible potential Shaklee holds for us as Independent Distributors that I want to pursue this rather than my corporate career. For many years, my heart has longed to be in the Field as a Shaklee Leader helping others to achieve their goals on a more personal level while developing my own business.

Recently, doors have opened up for me enabling me to make the shift from corporate, and I was able to acquire a Shaklee distributorship. It is full of loyal and committed leaders and customers. It will be my honor and privilege to work for this team helping them to achieve their goals. And I have absolute confidence in the talented and dedicated team inside the company led by Dan and Justin to support each of us along the way.

For years I have been promoting the powerful business opportunity I see available in Shaklee. Shaklee has the winning combination of what any entrepreneur would look for in a successful business model:

1. Products of the highest quality. My family and I have been using Shaklee products for 10 years now, and the difference in our health and vitality is immeasurable.
2. Partners in business whom you can trust. With the leadership of Roger Barnett and Dan Rajczak, I feel confident in the alignment of values, the foundation created for the next 50 years and the future direction the company is taking. I truly believe there has never been a better time to build a business in Shaklee, and I don't want to wait any longer to take advantage of our trajectory.
3. People. Terrific people. Shaklee is a family to me. It is wonderful to be surrounded by people with integrity, both internally as employees and externally in our vibrant Field leadership. And I also look forward to being in a position to help others around me on a more personal level.
4. Potential. A Shaklee business is at the intersection of all major growth trends: health, wellness, weight management, green cleaning, the potential to build internationally, and the trend of millions wanting to build a home-based business. The future for all of us in Shaklee is truly unlimited.

Many of you who know me won't be surprised by this decision. In my heart, and from the time that I first fell in love with this industry, I've identified very closely with the Field, no matter where I've worked. But when I came to Shaklee in 2004, I felt I'd come home. And since that time, the desire has been growing in me to be what I feel I am destined to be, and that's what you are – entrepreneurs with a mission and a cause to make others' lives better, and to help people to achieve their greatest potential in every possible way. That is what I believe in, and that is what I look forward to dedicating my life to every day. As one of you.

I look forward to seeing all of you at a Regional Event in April, and at our 2014 Shaklee Live event in Long Beach.

Best wishes for good health and success,

Laura Evans  You can join Laura and I today - start your own healthy, successful business here, or leave a comment on this blog, or contact me for assistance.

Understanding the Latest Media Attention on Multivitamins

Dear Shaklee Family,

Many of you have probably seen the headlines regarding multivitamins and their inability to prevent chronic disease in the past few days - the result of three studies published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Starting from a 30,000-foot view, the premise of these studies is the first problem: looking at the use of a multivitamin alone as a way to prevent disease. The purpose of a multivitamin is to fill in nutritional gaps and provide optimum levels of vitamins and minerals. It is well established that the vast majority of Americans fail to obtain even adequate levels of these nutrients.

Prevention of any disease is a multi-factorial process that has to include diet, weight management, and lifestyle. To expect to see disease prevention accomplished by virtue of taking a daily multivitamin is a flawed premise. So, why are these large-scale (and very expensive) studies undertaken? It is simply the model of research that scientists and physicians understand - studying a single drug to determine what effect it may have on a single disease. Studying nutrition is far more complex.

While a drug has a primary effect (usually something positive), they also have a myriad of side effects (which are usually negative and even life threatening). Every year pharmaceuticals are removed from the market because of these serious side effects. A study published in JAMA in 1998 showed that as many as 125,000 Americans die each year of properly prescribed pharmaceuticals - wow! When was the last time a vitamin was removed from the market?

Vitamins and minerals all have multiple positive functional roles to play in our bodies - which is why so many Americans pop a multi each day. People simply feel better when they take a multi because they are filling in those all too common nutrition gaps.

All three of these studies showed that multivitamins have an excellent safety profile. Well, of course they do - they are essential for life! The only “potential harm” that continues to be mentioned every time we have a study such as this published is the slight increased risk of lung cancer in smokers who took beta carotene . My response to that is - smokers: stop smoking!

Let me quickly summarize these studies. The largest one is another report from the Physician Health Study - previous publications of data from this large government funded study did show an association of reduced cancer associated with multivitamin usage.

The next study looked at cognitive decline in physicians - who are at the upper end of the intelligence scale and pretty well nourished. Showing a significant change in cognitive decline in this population is going to take some intervention beyond a multi - as this population is most likely doing lots of the right things to protect their brain function.

The third study tried to show that higher doses of specific vitamins decrease the likelihood of a second heart attack in folks who have already had a heart attack. Hmmm. Maybe we should look at weight reduction, cholesterol, blood pressure lowering, and blood sugar management as opposed to putting the burden of prevention of a second heart attack in someone with heart disease on vitamins!

I have been recommending a multivitamin (and beyond) to my patients, and consumers in general, for my entire 30 years as a physician - and nothing in these studies changes my mind. The statistics on inadequacies in our American diet are clear - most everyone is deficient in multiple nutrients. Here at Shaklee, we have the Landmark Study, published in the journal Nutrition in 2007 that showed a nice correlation of better health with multiple supplement usage, starting with a multivitamin. We have over 100 published studies that validate the connection of nutrition and health. I urge you to continue taking your Shaklee supplements - but also, to remember the importance of eating healthfully, avoiding fast foods, and getting to a healthy weight on your journey to better health.

Be well!

What Grain Is Doing to Your Brain

Have you seen this article? 

Too many carbs in our diet, says one expert, are spurring dementia and a national Alzheimer's crisis

I agree with this statement:

<< How We Got Here

Perlmutter's book is propelled by a growing body of research indicating that Alzheimer's disease may really be a third type of diabetes, a discovery that highlights the close relationship between lifestyle and dementia. It also reveals a potential opening to successfully warding off debilitating brain disease through dietary changes.>> 

I would just be making different dietary changes than he suggests. I believe in BALANCE. I personally would not recommend 75% of diet to be healthy fats and only 5% carbs! I don't think that is healthy and I understand people who try those zero carb diets to have trouble thinking or concentrating, so how is that helping their brain? 

I like Shaklee's suggestion of 30/40/30 (protein/carbs/fats) for weight and inch loss, or 20/50/30 for normal healthy living. Either way, healthy fats are 30% of the diet. Carbs do not have to include much, or any grain, if we don't want them. There are plenty of fruits and vegetables, and they are carbs! I believe in balance, and therefore, I will not be cutting grains out for now! I'll just keep taking my Vitalizer, Vivix, B-complex (see: Should you be taking vitamin B to protect against Alzheimer's?), Shaklee 180 Smoothees, etc. for my brain health. The more Smoothees I drink and Meal Bars I eat, the less grains I eat, naturally! After all, you can only eat so much in a day :) 

I understand those who need a gluten free diet will be eating less grains - not all grains have gluten though. 

Your thoughts?

Dear Shaklee Family,
 
We are all tremendously concerned as we witness the plight of those in the Philippines, where so many lives have been devastated by Typhoon Haiyan, a storm of unprecedented magnitude. In addition to the thousands who have tragically perished, an incredible 600,000 or more people remain at risk - homeless, desperate for food, clean water, medical assistance and shelter.  We send our love and prayers to the people of the Philippines, and to their families and friends who grieve and worry here in the States as well.  We want to help in any way that we can.
 
Shaklee Cares is working with a US-based partner organization to direct your product donations to those in need in the Philippines.  Because Shaklee products are convenient to transport, easy to dispense and rich in high quality nutrition, they are extremely helpful in situations like this one.

The need may seem overwhelming. But in Shaklee, we know that the cumulative impact of each of our small, positive actions changes lives, changes communities, and ultimately changes the world.  Thank you for being part of the Shaklee Effect.

	Warm regards,
	Roger Barnett
	Shaklee Chairman and CEO

A Rant - Shark Tank Episode on Friday 11/1/13

I LOVE Shark Tank and I am for sure not bad mouthing them, nor the products I am about to mention. I just want to set the record straight because I couldn't believe this when I heard it. 

That first team of presenters on Shark Tank, when asked about competition - he said he doesn't know of any, and the sharks just believed that! WHAT?! I just couldn't believe what I was hearing!! Obviously, no one did their homework, as Shaklee has been making safe & natural, effective cleaners for about 50 years! Our Get Clean products are super-concentrated, which means much less packaging as well. I highly doubt that they are the largest in this space either. I don't know our numbers, but I'm quite certain that we are. How can you compete with 50 years?

I will say, I went to their website (I don't wish to name the product but I'm sure you can find it if you want), and, I applaud them for calling out their other competitors who say they are green or safe and are just green washing! Although I have no proof, it seems this new company may be a bit more like Shaklee, really green, really safe and really effective. Follow the Leader, as they say! :) But, again, I don't know because I have no proof of that, only what they say. I'm not going to bash or endorse them - at least they may have brought some more awareness to what's going on out there and I, for one, appreciate that. 

As far as saving the environment (being green) and saving money, we have them beat by FAR. I just found their concentrated gallon size of what looks to be an all purpose cleaner - it makes 20 - 32oz bottles (that = 5 gallons) and costs $77!!!!!!! OUCH. Basic H² Retails at $43.80 for a 1/2 gallon and makes, are you ready? 192 GALLONS of all purpose cleaner!!! Which one SAVES YOU MORE MONEY????!!!

Of course, we both have smaller sizes as well, our 16 oz Basic H² super-concentrate retails at $12.15. One bottle of Basic H² equals the cleaning uses of 5,824 bottles of 26 oz. Windex^®*! Their window cleaner comes in 32 oz and makes 32 oz of window cleaner. Cost, $6.99 on sale. Which is the better deal?! I choose to think you are smart enough to figure that out. The Shaklee prices I listed here are retail - most people join us and pay member price, which is even less expensive. 

When a product is not concentrated (or super concentrated as in the case of Shaklee products), the main ingredient is usually water. Pick up any window cleaner that you may have on hand and read the label - what's the first ingredient? Water? Are you paying for water in your cleaners? Dr. Shaklee knew that we could get water from our tap and so many years ago he decided that we would only ship the cleaner - you add your own water. Saves money and the environment. Seems smart to me.

Ok, I've spoke my peace - your turn to comment! FYI, I will not accept nasty comments or advertising your products here. I will approve comments that are respectful and have to do with the topic at hand. Thanks.

If you are interested in anything you see or hear, please drop me a line and let's talk about it!

Multivitamin Use Reduces Breast Cancer Mortality

I was going to post this after I received my ConsumerLab newsletter, but Frank beat me to it, so, thank you Dr. Frank Painter for this timely information!

This newly published study reports that women, who were already diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, but used daily multivitamins, experienced a 30% reduction in mortality in a 7 year followup. 

Unfortunately, recent testing by ConsumerLabs revealed defects in nearly 40% of the multi-vitamins they tested. That's why I recommend Shaklee supplements, because ConsumerLabs testing has always always found them to be accurately dosed, potent, and pure. Why take chances with your health???

ConsumerLabs is very peculiar, in that they don't care if the supplements they test contain synthetic versus natural nutrients. They don’t care if supplements contain preservatives, food colorings, or chemicals or toxins below the FDA’s “acceptable limits”.

When they recently tested a Vitamin E supplement that only contained synthetic alpha tocopherol, they graded it as a “pass”, merely because it contained the amount listed on the label. Based on that logic, they appear to suggest that this synthetic supplement is comparable Shaklee’s Vita-EComplex, even though Shaklee’s Vita E contains all 8 of the naturally occurring forms of vitamin E, in proper balance.

In the scientific literature, it’s well proven that synthetic vitamins are poorly absorbed and are also excreted by the body more quickly. 

This is what sets Shaklee apart from the competition: they have never cut corners by using lower cost synthetic nutrients. There IS a huge difference! (We call it The Shaklee Difference!)

I hope you will find this study of interest!
