Empower Network vs Site Build it!
Here is the reason I am writing this article about Empower Network vs. Site Build It! (SBI!) is because I was comparing them side by side.
I have been with SBI! for several years now and I love how they work, and I know without a shadow of a doubt that Site Build It! Is one of the most successful and oldest webhost there is that I know of. It was created a year before Google was created and still strong today! Site Build It! (SBI!) was created and founded by Dr. Ken Envoy from Canada in 1997 and has helped hundreds of thousands of ordinary people build an online business that outperform many other more established competitors. Google was first incorporated as a privately held company on September 4, 1998
As for Empower Network. It’s a blogging site that is a form of a Multi-level marketing or affiliates which ever you prefer to classify it as. It’s a fairly new company only a few months old. I’m going talk about Empower Network and the requirements for getting success and prices etc…
Price:
• Empower Network - $25 a month minimum equaling $300 a year. • SBI! - $29 a month or $300 a year up front
Both cost $300 a year!
What do you get with them both well they both have an unlimited web page that you can create, that is about all I see. Well other than for SBI you’re able to make it a website or a blog site or have it as both. As for Empower network you get about $25 per enrollment but you have to spend $25 a month to be able to get that $25 for enrolling someone. Site Build it has a 5 Pillar Program aka affiliate program that is FREE for every one with no purchase necessary. Just enroll and if someone signs up for a website using your affiliate code or URL you get $75 no monthly cost to you for staying on the program.
Now let’s stay you like to write/blog but not every day and don’t have time, well according to Empower Network for you to rank up in the search engines YOU HAVE TO BLOG EVERY DAY! I don’t know about you but I would run out of things to talk about very fast if I was to blog every day plus I myself do not have time to site at a computer every day to write for the rest of my life or the company goes down whichever comes first. Let’s look at SBI! for a moment, all you need is something your knowledgeable about.

You can block URLs under ad choice so it does not promote health and wellness company so there is no conflicts with the terms and conditions that isagenix have.

SBI! see more results that any other company in the world. every time I do a search on Google, I always see an SBI! site in the first page of the search.
SBI! can be use for Network Marketing as well, which is what I will be doing very soon. I'm going to ask you some question and no need to reply and its not to scare you away from blogging but to help you not wast you time and money:
This is straight from an expert blogger from http://blog.hubspot.com
theses are the things you really have to think about when starting with something like Empower Network. if you want to start blogging for free and make money I highly recommend blogger and enroll in Google "Adsense" or "Ad Choices" which is now called.

This is straight from an expert blogger from http://blog.hubspot.com
One of the most frequent questions I receive while traveling is about blogging. The questions revolve around how to get started, what to talk about, and what software to use.
I usually reply to these people with questions of my own, which startles them, because so many start thinking about blogging in terms of what they want to say, instead of what their target audience needs to hear.
Here are 10 questions I frequently ask bloggers just getting started:
1. Who are your primary and secondary targets for your blog?
2. What do you want to tell them?
3. Do you understand what the key informational needs of the audience are?
4. Are you reading other blogs on that topic, and ones targeting your customers and prospects?
5. If you are reading, are you leaving comments that add to the online conversation on the blogs you cover?
6. Do you have a firm grasp on the types of keywords to focus on that would be relevant to your blog?
7. Do you follow those keywords on Technorati and Google Blog Search? Do you have alerts set up around those keywords at Google Alerts? (or possibly even use a reputation management system?)
8. Can you commit to blogging at least two-to-three times per week? (consistency is key, based on the expectations you set with your audience)
9. What is your ultimate goal in starting a blog? In one year from when you start blogging, how will your life be different?
10. Are you looking at blogging as a challenge or something that could be fun?
Of course, I don't ask all of these in fear I would scare them off, but these are the general starter questions. These questions should be the same for individuals as well as businesses.
The majority of blogs out there don't make it. The worst thing you can do as a business is start a consistent dialogue with your customers and then stop. Better not to do one at all.
Remember, blogging is just a tool. Some businesses aren't ready to commit resources or change their culture (full transparency) to adapt to a blog. That's okay. But all businesses must understand the power of blogging. Your brand is what people read about and talk about online. You have to decide if you want to be a part of shaping that conversation around your brand.

Food and Energy Inflation is Not Transitory
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Wednesday held his first press conference in history. The press conference took place shortly after the Fed announced its decision to leave the Fed Funds Rate at a record low of 0% to 0.25%, where it has been for an unprecedented 28 months. The U.S. economy is flooded with U.S. dollars and is close to overdosing on excess liquidity. The fact that our financial markets are not falling on the possibility of the Fed not unleashing QE3 immediately at the end of QE2, shows that we could be on the verge of hyperinflation with or without QE3.
The Federal Reserve currently has a mandate of both maintaining price stability and facilitating job creation. However, central banks don't have the ability to create real employment. If any jobs happen to be created as a result of a central bank's policies, they are only temporary jobs created due to the errors and distortions of phony asset bubbles. All phony asset bubbles that are fueled by monetary inflation eventually burst, sending unemployment through the roof.
Almost every major central bank besides the Federal Reserve, understands the truth about job creation, and has a mandate that focuses solely on keeping price inflation low. The Bank of Japan, Swiss National Bank, Bank of Canada, and Bank of New Zealand, all have mandates that are entirely about low inflation and don't even mention the creation of jobs or the rate of employment. Bernanke said on Wednesday that, "while it is very, very important for us to try to help the economy create jobs and to support the recovery, I think every central banker understands that keeping inflation low and stable is absolutely essential to a successful economy."
Bernanke has decided to go down a route that no central banker has ever gone before. Bernanke has literally invented countless ways to create inflation that nobody else has ever thought of. If keeping inflation low was ever Bernanke's slightest concern, the Fed Funds Rate would currently be north of 5% and the U.S. economy would be in a steep recession. Bernanke has never once thought about keeping inflation low. He has literally implemented every measure he could possibly think of to create as much inflation as possible, while outright lying to the American public and saying that he isn't printing money and that inflation is under control.
Bernanke would like the public to believe that his policies of expanding the money supply through cheap and easy money will cause the U.S. economy to recover and unemployment to decline back to pre-crisis levels, and that right before price inflation spirals out of control, he can raise interest rates and prevent massive price inflation without disrupting the recovery. Unfortunately, this is impossible because the recovery isn't real and massive price inflation is already here. Bernanke's policies may have created 1 million artificial jobs since December of 2009, after 8.75 million jobs were lost in the previous two years, but he did this at the expense of 310 million Americans already seeing double-digit percentage increases in food and energy prices.
Since after the Real Estate bubble burst in late-2008, the primary economic concern of Americans has been finding a stable job in order to make mortgage payments and put food on the table. Under the pressure of Congress, the Fed printed enough money to prevent a much needed recession that would be healthy for the long-term U.S. economy. In its attempt to reinflate the Real Estate bubble, the Fed has been destroying the free market and creating new economic distortions, which caused an artificial bounce in the rate of employment. Unfortunately, when you add together the money the Fed has either printed or committed for bailouts and stimulus programs, over $4 million has been spent for each job created. The Fed would have been better off just crediting the bank accounts of unemployed Americans with the average U.S. income.
When asked about rising gas prices, NIA is very happy that Chairman Bernanke acknowledged that gas prices "have risen quite significantly" and are "creating a great deal of financial hardship for a lot of people". Bernanke admitted that gas is a "necessity" as "people need to drive to work" for the artificial jobs Bernanke created at a cost of $4 million per job. However, Bernanke seemed to be confused when he said "higher gas prices add to inflation". The truth is, Bernanke's zero percent interest rates and quantitative easing are the inflation, and inflation leads to higher gas prices.
Bernanke is directly responsible for gas prices rising back to $3.87 per gallon, yet refuses to admit it. Bernanke placed the blame on the growing global and emerging market economies, and their strong demand for oil. He said that America's demand for oil is going down, which NIA believes is actually due to the U.S. dollar losing its purchasing power and Americans seeing their standard of living decline. Bernanke said there is nothing that he can do about rising oil and gas prices "without derailing growth entirely". The truth is, Bernanke already derailed growth entirely when he derailed the free market. It is impossible to see real economic growth when a government and central bank is interfering in every aspect of the economy and impeding the free market in every possible way. All nominal GDP growth in the U.S., along with growth in retail sales, is solely due to inflation. Even when the government adjusts GDP and retail sales growth to the rate of inflation, it is based off of the consumer price index, which NIA believes is currently understating price inflation by approximately 4%.
Although Bernanke denies he has the ability to reduce gas prices, he claims he can prevent "gas prices from passing into other prices and wages throughout the economy and creating a broader inflation which will be much more difficult to extinguish." Bernanke obviously doesn't want Americans to see higher wages because he believes it could lead to broader inflation, but NIA believes rising wages would be a good thing. Inflation hurts Americans most when the rate of inflation is far outpacing wage increases. The fact is, the U.S. is already experiencing broad inflation even without wage increases.
Bernanke's brand new favorite word as of late seems to be "transitory", which he used about a dozen times during his press conference. Despite what Bernanke says, NIA strongly believes that rising food and gas prices are not transitory. Bernanke likes the word "transitory" because he can use it to try and pretend that rising food and gas prices are only just a temporary phenomenon and that their current high levels aren't here to stay. Many Americans can remember the day 40 years ago when a can of Coca-Cola cost a dime and a Hershey chocolate bar cost a nickel, with a gallon of gas back then costing only thirty-five cents. Have rising food and gas prices over the past four decades been transitory?
NIA first predicted two years ago in its documentary 'Hyperinflation Nation', that rising food and gas prices would soon become the primary concern of all American citizens as a result of the Fed's dangerous and destructive monetary policies. Bernanke back then claimed that inflation would not be a problem and said that the U.S. risked deflation. If Bernanke has been so wrong about the inflation that Americans are faced with today, NIA doesn't see how anybody can possibly believe that Bernanke will be right and that current high food and gas prices aren't here to stay. In our opinion, the food and gas price inflation that Americans have experienced over the past 40 years, is likely to occur all over again during the next 4 years. NIA believes that 4 years from now, Americans will look back at the good old days of having cheap $4 a gallon gas.
The last thing the U.S. government wants is for the American public to realize that Bernanke is responsible for rising food and gas prices. If the public demanded to end the Federal Reserve, the government will no longer be able to spend recklessly knowing that the Fed will be there to monetize their deficit spending. In an attempt to make up excuses for rising gas prices and deflect attention away from the Fed, Congress has been pressuring the U.S. Attorney General to investigate the matter. Attorney General Eric Holder just announced the formation of the Oil & Gas Price Fraud Working Group. The stated purpose of this working group is to monitor the oil and gas markets for potential violations of criminal or civil laws to safeguard against unlawful consumer harm.
NIA considers this to be complete insanity. Any government interference in the oil markets will only drive oil prices up even higher. Oil prices are rising solely do to supply and demand. Demand is going through the roof because the Federal Reserve is creating a lot of inflation, and inflation always gravitates to the goods that Americans need the most to live and survive. Oil supplies are falling because President Obama has ordered U.S. troops to occupy Libya. In the past we at least made up excuses to invade countries like Iraq over oil by claiming they had weapons of mass destruction. Today, the U.S. government doesn't even bother. Obama campaigned as an anti-war President, saying he would bring our troops home from the middle-east. Instead, he has increased our middle-east troop levels, and the sheep who voted for him are showing absolutely no signs of outrage.

Digestive Harmony
Digestive Harmony
Digestion involves a complex system of structures and functions that must work together in harmony to properly break down and obtain nutrients from food. Read on to discover natural ways to support the various aspects of digestion.
Scientific studies show that irritability or disordered function of the upper and lower digestive tract may occur together. For example, discomfort or dysfunction in the bowel may represent a lack of harmony throughout the gastrointestinal tract and may affect the entire digestive system.
Upper and lower digestive problems are commonly caused by alterations in the functions of the digestive tract. Minor upper abdominal pain and sour stomach is most often called dyspepsia. There are about 25 million people with functional dyspepsia when upper abdominal pain and digestive upset occurs in the absence of ulcer or disease.
Nearly every bathroom cabinet in the nation contains one or more digestive aids, including antacids and other over-the-counter (OTC) pills that reduce the secretion of stomach acid. These popular digestive medications are often used in a premature or inappropriate manner without attention to positive changes in lifestyle and nutritional support with natural substances and dietary supplements.
Many supplements can effectively help to restore balance to gastrointestinal function. However, it must be said that serious digestive symptoms, such as difficulty swallowing, significant change in bowel habits or bleeding should cause an individual to seek medical advice immediately and avoid self-medication.
A number of dietary supplements can be combined together to support many different structures and functions of the digestive system. There are six major ways of supporting digestive function naturally:
BACTERIAL BALANCE: Taking probiotics (healthy bacteria) that can grow and flourish in the lower bowels may produce a variety of benefits for both digestion and overall health. Prebiotics, which feed healthy bacteria, can provide even further benefit.
FOOD BREAKDOWN: A variety of different enzymes is available to help break down and digest food (including dairy, fats, carbohydrates and more), which may improve digestion and nutrient absorption. These enzymes can be combined with systemic enzymes which have several health benefits.
DETOXIFICATION: Certain natural herbs or botanicals can support the role of the liver in eliminating toxins from food and the body.
STRUCTURE SUPPORT: A variety of natural substances (e.g., glutamine) can help support the lining of the digestive tract, which is a very active and crucial component of the digestive system and of the body.
ANTIOXIDANT NOURISHMENT: Many clinicians have underestimated the value of antioxidants, contained within several botanicals, for the promotion of digestive and general body health.
REGULARITY: Assistance in evacuating the colon, a form of body cleansing, can be achieved with several herbs, as well as dietary fiber.
Innovative dietary supplements that provide holistic support for digestive function are becoming more prevalent. Products that contain a combination of probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes, detoxifying substances and natural agents are preferred because of cost effectiveness and synergistic support for all aspects of digestive health.

5 Reasons Why Your Diet’s Not Working!
It happens every year. Thousands of people across the country make a New Year’s Resolution to finally lose that extra weight. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 64 percent of Americans are either overweight or obese. Most of those people, six months later, have abandoned their efforts because of frustration, lack of results or other setbacks.
If you’ve ever stepped on the scale and wondered why your diet isn’t having the effect you hoped it would have, here are some tips and reminders to help you reach your goals and have the body you’ve always dreamed of.
#1. Too Many Calories
Weight loss is really all about simple math. If you burn more calories than you consume on a regular basis, eventually you will lose weight. Of course, that requires knowing how many calories you’re eating.
Most people try to wing it when it comes to gauging how much they eat. But between snacks, liquid calories and changes in portion sizes, it can be nearly impossible to determine how many calories you’re eating without checking food labels and keeping a written record.
If you just can’t seem to get the numbers on the scale to move in the right direction, try tracking your calories – of every single thing you eat – for a full week. Look at food labels of everything you eat or cook with. You may be surprised with the number you come up with.
Not Working Out Enough…or Too Much
Remember the weight loss equation? Half of that equation involves burning calories. Sure, you burn calories through everyday activities like housework, walking to the store or raking your leaves. But when it comes to losing weight, you have to create an adequate calorie deficit if you want to see the pounds come off.
Start by figuring out what your basic calorie needs are by using a calorie calculator. The Mayo Clinic has an easy-to-understand one on their website. Enter your age, weight, height and average daily physical activity and the calculator will tell you approximately how many calories your body needs to maintain your current weight.
From there, you can create an accurate daily calorie goal. According to MedlinePlus, it takes a burn of 3,500 calories to lose 1 lb. That means if you create a calorie deficit of 500 calories per day, you can lose 1 lb. per week. Increase your calorie deficit to 1,000 per day and you’ll push your weight loss to 2 lbs. a week.
Let’s say, for example, the calorie calculator says you need 1,900 calories per day to maintain your current weight. If you eat 1,700 calories in a day, then exercise and burn 300 calories, your net calorie intake for the day would be 1,400 calories, giving you a deficit of 500 calories.
#3. Toxins in Your System
Scientists are just now beginning to understand the effects toxins in our everyday environment have on our bodies. Even daily stress can release free radicals into your system, breaking down healthy cells and potentially slowing down your metabolism.
According to the Endocrine Society, these toxins work to disrupt the body’s natural fat-burning process, acting as true hormones in your body but blocking the action of other hormones that aid in losing weight, such as testosterone. Flushing these toxins from your system – in a safe, healthy way – may be exactly what you need to get your body over the weight-loss hump you’ve been stuck on for so long.
That’s why Isagenix® has long offered Cleanse for Life – designed to safely and effectively rid your body from the toxins you encounter on a daily basis. Cleanse for Life helps your body run more efficiently, giving you the best chance to burn fat and calories that can lead to weight loss.
#4. Not Working Out Correctly
Any type of physical activity is important when you’re trying to lose weight, but to really see the pounds come off, you’ll have to hone in on the most effective types of exercise. That means combining cardiovascular exercise – the kind that gets your heart beating – with strength training.
Cardiovascular exercise is the most effective type of exercise to burn calories. To burn calories more effectively – burning calories from fat and not from lean muscle tissue – focus on your target heart rate zone. According to the American Heart Association, your target heart rate zone is between 50 and 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. To find your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from the number 220. Work out for at least 30 minutes within your target heart rate zone for maximum exercise results.
While cardio is important, strength training is also vital to losing weight. That doesn’t mean you have to become a bodybuilder or even get huge muscles to accomplish your goal. Just doing some simple strength training exercises will help restore lean muscle tissue lost through exercise. Plus, muscle burns more calories than fat, meaning the more lean muscle you have in your body, the more efficient your body will be in burning calories to help you lose weight.
#5. Not Snacking Properly
Sure, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but what you do in between meals could make all the difference when it comes to losing weight. Snacks accomplish two major objectives in the battle of the bulge. First, snacking properly helps keep your metabolism up. Second, healthy snacks prevent you from getting hungry throughout the day. When you get too hungry, you are more likely to overeat at your next meal.
Proper snacking involves limiting your calories and getting a balance of nutrition groups like carbs and protein. That’s why SlimCakes® from Isagenix are the perfect solution to your snacking conundrum. With 20 grams of carbohydrates and 2 grams of protein packed into just 90 calories, SlimCakes help curb your cravings and provide you with a heart-healthy snacking option. Best of all, one serving of SlimCakes is packed with 5 grams of fiber, 20 percent of the recommended amount per day.
So get your snack on with SlimCakes and start losing weight – finally – today.
If you’ve ever stepped on the scale and wondered why your diet isn’t having the effect you hoped it would have, here are some tips and reminders to help you reach your goals and have the body you’ve always dreamed of.

The River and the Lion
"Never fight what isn't there."
Cautiously, the lion looked up and asked: "What isn't here?"
"Your enemy isn't here," answered the river. "Just as you are a lion, I am merely a river."
Now the lion sat very still and studied the way of the river. after a while, he walked to where a certain current to the brushed against the shore, and stepping in, floated to the other side.

Isagenix vs other cleansers and diets!
John Anderson (founder of Isagenix),
One of my cleansers asked me this question. Would like to know how you would handle it.
I keep seeing infomercials/testimonials
on the internet about the wonders of Acai Berry Supplement and Colon Cleanser Supplement, which help with weight reduction. Cited are Dr. Oz on Oprah and Rachel Ray. Is our cleanser and the rest of our program comparable? If so, how?
Thanks,
Chrsitine
FROM THE WIKIPEDIA;
As a dietary supplement
Recently, the açaí "berry" has been touted and marketed as a highly beneficial dietary supplement. Companies sell açaí berry products in the form of tablets, juice, smoothies, instant drink powders, and whole fruit.
Marketers of these products make claims that açaí provides increased energy levels, improved sexual performance, improved digestion, detoxification, high fiber content, high antioxidant content, improved skin appearance, improved heart health, improved sleep, and reduction of cholesterol levels. More dubious claims include reversal of diabetes and other chronic illnesses, as well as expanding size of the penis and increasing men's sexual virility and sexual attractiveness to women. Açaí is most commonly marketed as a weight loss product.
As of March 2009, there are no controlled studies backing up any of these claims. According to ABC News correspondent Susan Donaldson, these products have not been evaluated (in the United States) by the FDA, and their efficacy is questionable. In late 2008, lawyers for The Oprah Winfrey Show began investigating alleged statements from supplement manufacturers who suggested that frequent Oprah guest Dr. Mehmet Oz had recommended their product or açai in general for weight loss.
John;
I do like Acai berry but . . .
There cannot be a comparison of Isagenix and "The silver Bullet". One ingredient cannot replace over 200 ingredients contained in the Isagenix system.
"The silver Bullet" cure all, do all does not exist.
If so, God would have only created one tree.
We are given thousands of natural plant, minerals, and nutrients for our health and having a system to depend on is the best way to insure better health. Isagenix will continue to improve and enhance its systems for your health.
Additional thoughts;
If you use one ingredient, where will you get the other building like protein, vitamins, minerals, and other important and vital nutrients? Have you ever seen the old ways of "Dieting"? Sagging? Loss of Muscle? Loss of skin elasticity? Flabby underarms?
Thank you for the question; this is a good example of single ingredients.

Why Isagenix Chooses New Zealand Dairy?
Because of its sparse population, New Zealand is one of the few places in the world to maintain a rich natural beauty in a temperate climate with abundant rainfall. Its pristine environment and warmth is a seeming paradise with richly diverse fauna, clean lakes and rivers, and beautiful beaches.
The country is home to more than four million dairy cows. This is about the same amount as there are people on the island, many of whom depend on the dairy industry for their livelihoods.
Two curious, free-grazing heifers on a dairy farm in New Zealand.
One plant is a relatively small operation with a focus on sustainability by sourcing only from small family farms with free-grazing cows that are never given artificial hormones (rBST free). The cows themselves enjoy a quality life on the pasture, are well rested after each milking, and are milked according to season as nature intended for them.
It is this plant that provides Isagenix with dairy protein produced exclusively for IsaLean products (shake, soups and bars) and IsaPro whey protein.
Dairy farming in this way ensures consistency of high quality and purity—that cannot be guaranteed from sourcing in the United States or elsewhere. The fresh milk is guided through a series of fine filters under low heat to separate whey from other dairy components such as fats and lactose.
The gentle system uses no acids and the protein remains in its natural state, undenatured, with protein folds left as they should be. The proof is found in the superior nutritional benefits and flavor.

My Isagenix Story!
I started on April 10 2009 and have been using the products every day, but before I started Isagenix I was at 182 pounds at 5 feet 4 inches (5'4") on April 9 2009. 7 months before that I was 155 pounds. I become bedridden for 7 months from severe back discomfort. I had a good job doing welding at the time in buffalo NY. I was around tons of toxicity at the time and didn’t think anything of it or if it could even hurt me with the safety precaution I was taking. I was learning about health and wellness at the time. I never learned about toxicity and how it can impact the human body. I was eating all organic foods, drinking tons of water, and taking food grade hydrogen peroxide but I still got sick. I could not even pick up a 5 pound cat. I was introduced to Isagenix by a friend of a friend. I was kind of unsure about taking it as everyone would be. I’m the type of person that will not take any thing that was not natural.
Example: medication – I will not take because it is all unnatural chemicals that are man-made and nothing but toxicity and side effects and on top of that it only suppresses the symptoms and not gets to the root of the problem. It does not work with the body only against the body keeping the body from what it does naturally “heal itself”!
I got the 30day system with the isadelights only to lose the weight because my weight kept going up and up every month fast. So after ordering it, UPS came on April 9 and I started on April 10 I started that morning and after 2 weeks, my back healed up, my weight went down to 178 Lbs. 4/21/2009 and all of my health problems are gone! I felt like I was 18 again but better. After being bedridden for 7 months I took “tae kwon do” and was able to surpass the black belts in the same exercises. I also walked 8 miles to the gym worked out for 2 hours of cardio and walked 8 miles back non-stop without even getting tired. I was so amazed I called up my en-roller and told her what I did and she was not surprised that I was able to do that being on Isagenix. I am now at 160 pounds as of 9/3/2010 and it's very hard for me to gain weight if I stop using Isagenix.
June of 2011, I went on a gluten free diet to try it out after reading about how bad gluten was. Before I went gluten free, I stayed at 160 Lbs. for about a year or more. In January I was bicycling 1,000 miles a month back and forth to work; it was about 23 miles one way. No matter what I did was always hungry and the weight never came off, it stayed at 160. When I moved to Aurora, Colorado in May, I hear my friends talk about gluten, so I did some research on it, and for a few months of being gluten free I was losing more weight and eating less. My weight went down to 140 Lbs.
Back in October, I started eating gluten again. I seen my weight started going back up my mood getting really bad always down and sad and I was eating more, I felt this way for a few months. December 29, 2011 I ordered two shakes of isalean shakes and two Mars Venus shakes plus Isaomega Supreme softgels. I stopped eating gluten and ever day I take two Isaomega supreme and have 2 shakes a day (1-scoop of Isalean and 1-scoop of Mars Venus mixed in 8-oz. of filtered water). I have one shake in the morning every morning and one for lunch or dinner depending on what I am doing that day, WOW what a difference it made in my life. Come to find out I have gluten intolerance or allergies. Lately I have been noticing I have food allergies to a lot of foods, I’m grateful for isagenix as I have no allergies to it. Saving me by giving me all the nutrition my body needs and lifting my mood! So now I am down to 135 Lbs. I am always happy and I am eating less. I feel GREAT!! :)
childhelp.org
To every order I place through Isagenix, I donate what I can to childhelp.org. between Isagenix and Child help it is amazing what they are both doing. Isagenix is not just a company, they are a loving and caring company that cares about the planet and life in general. Child Help is a level 13 institution, giving them one last hope of having a normal life, before they are put in a level 14 institution with no hope at all. I am proud to be to an isagenix associate and supporter of Child help as I was abused as a child my self. I wish I had a place to go such as child help foundation, I am just glade these children are safe and loved every day!!
