I share Natural Health and Residual Money

Why do I share Natural Health and residual money? Because people like my friend Kelly Driscoll who say “yes” when I invite them and then follow through!

Honestly the first time I brought it up with Kelly she did not join. She just wasn’t ready. Eventually her timing was right and she signed up with me. She’s impacted obviously her life enormously but she’s also impacted other lives around her so it goes Way Beyond just me or her.

Just look at her and read what she wrote! She isn’t just kind of doing this and she didn’t just kind of evolve her life.  She totally immersed herself in her own life and overall getting better and impacting others around her positively.

If you contact her I bet she would be willing to help you also.

 

Here is something Kelly Wrote in her own words:

“Imagine if practically everything you had ever learned about taking care of your health for the long term was wrong.

Imagine if virtually everything you had ever learned about how to lose weight was basically a lie.

Now imagine finally discovering that living a happier, healthier, more productive life is easier than you ever thought possible and within your grasp. Something that YOU can decide to have control over each and every day by saying one massive YES and deciding to invest in you!

Does that knowledge move you to action? If you’re like most people, the sad truth is, probably not.

But we’re betting that you’re NOT like most people!

So, it’s time to get some skin in the game y’all!!!!

And in that spirit WE DARE YOU to invest in yourself for 30 Days risk free, and to experience the beginning of your personal renaissance in a private setting with daily encouragement, support and motivation from a group of coaches who are on a mission to transform the health of the world ONE person at a time.

Where are my faith leapers, my risk takers, those of you who KNOW you need to be loving on yourself a whole lot better?

Private message me now to get started. You have nothing to lose and EVERYTHING to gain! God Bless!” – Kelly Driscoll

Off ALL Blood Pressure Meds… healing herself with Nature?

“Aging is for People Who Don’t Know Better” – Tony Horton

It’s Not Normal to give up our Health and Money to hospitals and drug companies no matter how sadly COMMON it is.

This is my friend Denise pictured here with me. She will go on to save lots of Money as she reclaims even more health and how she FEELS to enjoy her beautiful life…

Here is how I do it (I’m sharing this with you so you can do it too)…

You see my friends and I engaged in our own journeys that is specific to us with help from the beachbody catalog of home fitness and nutritionals sharing our journey openly and honestly with the mistakes, the challenges, and the little victories we score out of the ashes of big setbacks…

If you love health and fitness like I do, and you’re interested in making some money in health and fitness like I am, or if you just want to get healthy without making some extra money, Private Message me.

Not just for yourself, but others around you who needlessly associate health problems with “Normal” aging.

I’m making this post in honor and memory of my Dad who LOVED drinking these chocolate super food shakes which supported his immune system and gave us at least another 9 years with him before passing away.

My dad was proud of me for how I behave as someone who uses and sells these programs.

He hates the typical behavior of telemarketers and other home business owners.

He loved the way I do it.

He loved how I’m the same person doing this. I didn’t become someone I’m not to do this and I have to believe that’s why I’ve been able to create success where others fail.

Others become someone they are not and tick off their friends and family.

I remained true to who I am so I was able to fire my boss, buy my house in cash, be there for my family and my dad during those most precious moments without having to check in with a gatekeeper or worry about being covered financially.

There are a lot of people oppressed and depressed underneath the thumb of a gatekeeper and others who can tell them what to do with their time.

I love you dad I’m gonna keep making you proud of me working with the willing who wanna get healthy physically and financially.

Skin that Glows and is Youthful

I have Spectacular skin.

I did not use a picture filter to bring out colors and skin tones that are not there it’s just natural sun light and what I feed myself.

I don’t use any lotions, oils, anti aging serums, no topical treatments of any kind. My skin is not dry or too moist. It’s perfect.

I know I just shared this picture recently but it just occurred to me I really should put the spotlight on the fact that my skin is this perfect by what I feed my brain and my mouth.

The superfoods shake I’m holding up is a meal shake I’ve been drinking daily for many years. I sell what I drink.

Over the past DECADE I’ve gotten lots of feedback from my female friends who wear less make up (aka less cover up) because their hair, SKIN, and nails are healthier.

Oh by the way their BLOOD and internal organs are healthier, too.

Energy is calm, clear, focused, productive.

I like the company who makes this super foods shake because they are not arrogant enough to start genetically modifying nature.

They have the humility to leave the ingredients genetically as they are because nature knows the complexities of how our bodies operate and humans do not.

“Congratulations you just saved someones Life!!!!”

divorced2 I got to say this to one of my friends who helped someone reduce their extreme blood sugar levels by 80 something points in a few days and now he can be more physically active without being in Pain.

I totally hear you when you say All the Income I’ve created is from my personal involvement and that’s why I can be so Free…

It’s just not true…

Maybe 5%, if that, of my income is coming from my personal involvement…

The rest comes from others I’ve equipped to create their own incomes that EVERY dollar is linked to the health, the healing, and the Freedom of other people.

What a concept hey?

I wish PhRMA and others would get the memo that they don’t need to Profit from Managing sickness and Healing Nothing.

Even more so…

My AIM is to inspire more GOOD people with Messages of Healing to Get over their negative energy toward creating PILES and PILES of money..

Now we can collectively Take More of the Money Supply Away From the Criminals of the world who are using money to pollute the world…

WE will use money as a resource to HEAL the world.

Doesn’t that sound like fun??

Honoring People As Free Thinking Human Beings

Meet my Friend Catherine Russo..

catherine russo see through power

I Invited her once upon a time..

I had no idea if she’d want to do this or not but I HONORED her as a free thinking person and Invited her so she could decide for herself…

Look BEYOND her impressive physical change..

Do you see An Emotional change?

A confidence change?

Do you realize her entire LIFE has been revolutionized on every level possible?

Do realize she can be there more for her family?

Do you know she has a stronger immune system and less prone to getting sick now?

I want you to realize if you are a home business owner with a product that helps people improve their lives that YOU can connect anyone who wishes to that product to change their life…

INVITE everyone..

Never think for anyone..

Never let your personal opinion of price, effort, or time commitment get in the way of someone elses success.

Keep those opinions to yourself and HONOR EVERYONE as Free Thinking people who can decide if your deal is a fit for them.

And as an income opportunity I want you to know that every dollar you generate is a result of positive impact you’ve had on other people.

This isn’t a Job or other type of Pyramid scheme that entitles you to an income just because you sold your time for it. You have to add value to peoples lives.

IF you want to be a MILLIONAIRE just help enough people that can help enough people that can help enough people.

Its a win-win for everyone on a very high level.

Check this out… and read it twice.. say it out loud.. RESONATE with this message….

When WE create enough MILLIONAIRES with a product like we have we will END ALL trends of obesity, Chronic Disease, and Chronic Debt.

THATs RICH.

Before you resign to Medications the rest of your life please read. Big PhrMA Hates this..

My buddy Blake was told he’d have to start taking medications for his health issues. Blake made some changes and with his DRs approval he never has to take any medications now. Cool hey? I’m just going to copy and paste Blakes own words. If you or someone you know wants a fair shot at being medication free with Dr approval MESSAGE ME. In Blakes words:

“I’ve never really had a weight problem; instead, due to poor genes, and poor choices, I had a “blood” problem. Even though I’ve always eaten pretty well and worked out regularly, at a Dr.’s visit back in March 2012, I got the grand ol’ news that my triglycerides were almost double what they should be, and my cholesterol numbers were bad in three categories. Naturally, my doctor insisted putting me on medication. But I begged her to give me six months to change things.

So I ate a little better, worked out a little more, and got retested. My results improved, but weren’t good enough. In my last ditch effort to stay off meds, I told my doctor about Beachbody’s Ultimate Reset program and made her a deal: “Give me 21 days on Ultimate Reset, and if the lab tests aren’t exactly where you want them to be, I’ll start popping pills. No questions asked.” Reluctantly, she agreed.

About a month later, my doctor called with my post Ultimate Reset blood work results and was blown away. And I have to say, so was I. My cholesterol dropped 37 points, triglycerides dropped 187 points (which is HUGE!), and I lost almost 11 pounds. All in just 21 days.

I’m so incredibly thankful for the Ultimate Reset. It literally saved me from having to take drugs—something I never, ever, ever want to have to take.”

Click the image below to try the Ultimate Reset. It’s only a 21 day program for the rest of your life.  The 100% money back guarantee expires 9 days AFTER the duration of the program.  If it doesn’t work for you get all of your money back you have plenty of time to make this a no risk experience to get truly healthy from the inside out.

Severe COPD and Sleep Apnea Relieved

My dad had SEVERE COPD and sleep apnea and almost died from it. My dad went in for a sleep study before I got him on this Health shake and before getting fixed with an appropriate cpap machine. They found he woke from sleep an average of once every 50 seconds. He virtually never got any meaningful sleep.

The COPD nearly killed him because it would inflame in his lungs with bronchitis with only had one third of his lungs left. We literally almost lost him in the Emergency Room from his very last bronchitis episode.

Immediately after that I got my dad on this Health Shake and ever since then he has not experienced one single bout of pneumonia or bronchitis.

The oxygen is also back in his blood and great lively color back to his face instead of pale from bad blood. His doctor tells us he has no right to expect to be alive today or to be doing as well as he is doing. That was a couple years ago now. And most recently my dad had me take down the Ramps to the house because he no longer needs his scooter! BAM!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Healthy Shake and Life style change.

No Matter how DARK it may get for you, if you or someone you LOVE is still alive, it’s NOT too late no matter what anyone tries to sell you on. Skip them. Get sold on getting out of the darkness friend!

Get This Healthy Shake called Shakeology and reach out to me so I may help.

Alyssa Russells family went from broke to a 6-figure income and impacted her life. Too often parents tell their children to sit down and be quiet. Not so for the Russells! the Russells were broke in every way possible – relationships, physically and financially. They were on the verge of divorce because of constantly fighting over finances. Mom was stressed out working from home, dad was gone all the time at work and Alyssa cried at night to be successful to be able to take care of her parents. Since plugging in the whole family has repaired relationships. Alyssa started 2 businesses that have made thousands of dollars and flew herself all over the country to get to First Steps to Success. Her parents have paid off over $34,000 in debt, now make over 6-figures and are successful in EVERY area of their life.

Alyssa did not wait for a hand out, but made things happen (including making more money than some adults)! She is one of a growing group of young teens and youths who have become prime examples of fruit of this proven training.

Dear Tom,

How are you doing? As always, I thought I would share what week 2 on Shakeology was like. Week two is during PMS week. PMS has been a LOT easier this week.

Normally, I would have reeeely bad body swelling, cramps, explosive pain in the ovarian cysts, irritability, depression and joint/back pain. Oh, and bad migraines.

So far, all I have experienced during PMS week was a little bit of anxiety.

I have been able to think very clearly. Ok, except for the morning after that night that hubby kept me up talking drunk in his sleep. My back is usually fine with Shakeology, but again, I have so much energy that I forget I’m not superwoman yet and last weekend I strained my joints digging that garden bed. I can’t help but think if it were not for Shakeology that I would have been so sore that I could not have made it to work Monday.

I have had no major arguments with the spouse this PMS week. Since I can think clearly, it is much easier to communicate without freaking out or going off. Also, it is easier to shrug it off when he does dumbass things. haha.

No small towns have burned this week (lol).

Although, I am waiting for the red deluge to hit me, I am not having any heart palpitations nor major mental delusions of any kind.

Oh and the biggest thing? I have absolutely no desire to drink alcohol. I tried a beer on Sunday. There was no euphoric high as usual and it just kind of tasted boring. It made me tired. Most weeks, I have about 14 beers in a week. In the past week I had TWO and they were blah. My new “addiction” for whatever reason is carbonated water. It tastes soooo good. I have been drinking so much water that the water weight is shrinking. My joints are getting better and my back is easier to “pop” back into alignment on my own.

Tomorrow I am taking off work so I can see my ex-bro-in law play guitar tonight with this fun, weirdo band. Maybe I will dance because drinking isn’t really that fun anymore 🙂 Then I can sleep late and garden during the day. Wish me luck that I remember to take it in stride so I can get my onion bed and tomato bed planted before my seedlings kick it. haha.

Thanks again and Have a Great Weekend!

21 Day Beachbody Ultimate Reset

Arnauld’s  Akaha did the  21 Day Beachbody Ultimate Reset result and got some impressive results.

In Arnaulds own words..

“(I’m getting bloodwork done tomorrow and again afterwards… so excited to see what results I get):

“I feel absolutely incredible and so grateful for what it’s done for me. I’d be happy to help in any way I can. Documentation beats conversation with these results


-Total cholesterol went down 191 (borderline) to 137: 54 point drop!
-Bad cholesterol went down 93 to 51: 42 point drop!
-Triglycerides went down from 160 (this is HIGH) to 86: a 74 point drop!
-Total weight lost: 13 pounds. Yeah, the Reset WORKS!!!

To quote the doctor: “No cholesterol medication could ever do that in 3 weeks”.

To quote my PharmD friend (who coincidentally works for a major pharmacy chain, lol) regarding pharmaceutical companies : “(insert any major pharmaceutical company’s name) doesn’t want this kind of data out or they will be out of business. Very impressive…our best drugs can’t even get close to that.”

If you feel the 21 Day Beachbody Ultimate Reset is something you’d like to try please let me know.  It’s only a 21 day program but you get a full 30 days to get a full 100% refund if you’re not totally happy with your 21 day results.  We are proud to fully 100% back this program with a surplus of 9 days so you don’t have to risk any money if it doesnt work for you.  Research and order here: http://myultimatereset.com/metalpalace  you will also find my contact information there.   If you’d like to connect with me on facebook please do: http://facebook.com/tbirkenmeyer

Reduce Cellulite?!?!

At First it was Just For Personal Weight Loss..

I am so flippin’ excited, I have to share. When I started on this Beachbody journey, it was for personal weight loss. Tom Birkenmeyer, do you remember me calling you from a store parking lot IN TEARS, because I had to lose weight NOW!!!??? I saw an outfit that was clearanced from $250.00 down to $32.00 and I couldn’t fit into it. I was devastated! Fast forward to this morning (11 months into my journey)….I just picked up 2 brand new pairs of jeans and a skirt (all on clearance 🙂 ) in a size that I haven’t worn since 1982!!!!!! That business suit that I wanted that day….WOULD BE TOO FLIPPIN’ BIG ON ME NOW!!!! I am beyond STOKED right now and practically in tears as I type this. Tom, thank you so much for sticking with me. I am so thankful for you and Beachbody!

I was in a size 18 when I started this. I just got my rear end into size 10 pants. I literally haven’t worn a size 10 since before my daughter was born. She was born in July of 1983. Crazy motivated right now!!!!!

Shakeologys Impact On Menopause and Womens Cycles

“Tom, a good report this month I had gotten my period and no bloating or pain. I have suffered with so much pain and I wished someone would shoot me and get my suffering over with. I feel fine I can’t believe it……Thanks to you and shakeology yay!! I feel brighter and emotionally stronger…this shakeology is really lifting my depression or helping me rise above the storm in my life” – Teri

“I sleep like I am dead! I used to wake up about every 2-3 hours every single night but not now ever. It (Shakeology) has also completely eliminated all estrogen replacements meds for me! HaPpY DaNcE!!!” -By the way – this happy person is drinking Shakeology and working out most days of the week with Slim in 6.

“I just had to share this… my mom has been drinking Shakeology for two weeks… She is also going through early menopause… Since she started drinking it she has had no night sweats, is able to sleep through the night (which she hasn’t done in years without sleeping medication), and her personal trainer, who she has had for months, keeps asking her what she’s doing to lose weight!! I’m so happy for her!!” -Jennifer M

After a few weeks of drinking Shakeology, I noticed that all of my menopause symptoms went away….no hot flashes, no major mood swings — nothing!! That, ALONE, was good enough reason to continue drinking Shakeology!!! (yikes!) …what also made me continue was the increase in energy, weight loss, reduced cravings & poor blood test results move into normal ranges in just 2 months!! Shakeology just really helps to heal the body!!” -Joyce Wingate Boyden

People have asked just WHY I drink Shakeology? Well, some of the main things I noticed was that my hot flashes are GONE! So are the mood swings that used to come with my cycle. Having those symptoms GONE is more than worth the price!! But it also gives me the steady energy I love every day- without peaks/crashes. I feel better, stronger, healthier. You really can’t BUY that- but you CAN buy Shakeology! –Angela Gee Bray

“I think Shakeology does greatly reduce menopausal symptoms.” –Lora C.

“It’s only been a month but I hardly cramped this month!” – Denise F.

– Tom

Try Shakeology.  If you don’t feel significantly better in 30 days I want you to get all of your money back including free shipping so you have no risk if it doesn’t work out for you.

Allison Mingo Herniated 2 Discs in Her Neck and She is Now Pain Free!!

Allison Mingo

Just over six years ago, when I was 29, I herniated two disks in my neck at C5-6 and C6-7 which are at the base of the neck right between the tops of my shoulder blades. I didn’t have surgery, so I still get flare-ups from time to time, and they can last from weeks to months of sharp, excruciating pain. For years I’ve been waking up every day in so much pain in the morning that I can’t function normally. Taking a shower in the morning was nearly impossible as I couldn’t twist or turn to reach everywhere. It would take hours to “warm up” and some days it would last all day. The closest I can come to describing it is it feels like an ice pick or a knife jammed between your shoulder blades. Just two or three years ago, there were a few days where I’d be at work and do some simple twisting movement or stretch and I’d have to go to the ER because the pain was so intense. Crippling. Even recently I was having enough trouble that I went to a sports and spine center to get some therapy.

I’ve been working out with Power90 and drinking Shakeology for the last three weeks. I have strengthened the muscles in my shoulders and back enough that I am no longer waking up in any pain. I’m sleeping better, I can function properly, and I feel better than I’ve felt in years. I initially started doing this to lose weight and get in shape. Now I see weight loss as a bonus. Being pain-free is what motivates me!

One of the Coolest Letters I’ve ever gotten by Tina Wedlock

Hey, Tom 🙂

Just a note to tell u this:
It is ALLL YOUR fault !

yep,sure enough, it is !

Every pound I lost,
Every time I went for a walk when i really didn’t want to,
Every time I pushed myself to walk around the house when it was nasty outside,
Every time I pushed myself to move away from the computer and do SOMETHING physical,
Every time I walked around Wal-mart and did so for more than an hour
Every time I went to a buffet-style restaurant and made better choices
Every time I ate smaller meals
Every time I stopped when i was satisfied
Every time I tried on an outfit that I KNEW was too small for me (and it actually fit !!)
Every time i forced myself to clean house or to do something I really didn’t want to do
Every meal I ate,that I ate more veggies than meat/pasta.
Every time I stepped on the scale,weighed myself and saw for my own eyes, that the weight was going away,
Every time I felt my body and actually felt the weight gone.
Every time my hubby looked at me and asked if I was losing weight,
Every time my neighbors made notice that I was losing weight because my clothes were too big,
Every time I tried on my “fat” clothes and had to take in the elastic waistband,
Every time I tried on a shirt and it was looser than before.

Yep,Tom,
it really Is all YOUR FAULT !
yep,and you should be proud of yourself,too,Tom,for doing so.
Why ?
Because no one else has ever gave me the incentive to make me wanna lose weight,until meeting you and your challenge.

I am now at 219. i have not “seen” 219 since i got married,and that was over 15 years ago.

Thank you,Tom,for giving me the gift of life,and for giving me the hope and courage I needed to make that change myself.

THANK YOU !!!!

i hope this finds you happy and well,
your friend,
Tina

Lisa Clark Use To Suffer From Fibromyalgia Pain

In Lisas words..

In 1992 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia as I started having pains all over my body. Achy, and tired all the time. As the years went on with my new diagnosis the pains got worse and the fatigue got bad.

My Dr tried many medications and new medications came out and clinical trials to try and get my pain under control, yet nothing worked, and I hated feeling “drugged” all the time. I even… tried acupuncture, and massage therapy was excruciatingly painful. And well hypnosis didn’t work either.

In 2004 I started using a forearm crutch to assist me in walking. This was devastating because I used to be a competitive long distance swimmer and was so active all the time. And now I couldn’t even play with my kids.

There are some that say that surgery exacerbates fibromyalgia and I have had seven since 1999- 2009, and in 2007 I humbled myself and sat myself in a wheelchair for the days that the forearm crutch couldn’t help me because I couldn’t even stand up or sit down or have the strength to grasp the crutch. I used to crawl up and down the stairs.

In 2009 I convinced myself there had to be something out there that could help and all the research said was exercise.. and I thought how can I when I can barely walk on most days.

In February of 2010 I started a workout program and my coach suggested that I start drinking a shake called Shakeology. It would give me energy and help me loose weight and it had all this good nutrition. I said ok.. can’t hurt right?

Never did I ever imagine that my energy did come back! I was able to do more and longer workouts and didn’t have to rest 2-4 days in agony from working out.

But my number one dream and prayer had happened.. one day and I can’t remember when it happened… I woke up without a single ounce of pain! This was one of the single most happiest moments of my life! And since I started drinking Shakeology I have stopped taking all medication. No more pain medications, my mood was better, my energy was incredible. And NO FLAIR UPS!

In the fall of 2010 my boys who were entering 9th grade, and were on the cross country team in school… and I.. yes I was the assistant coach of Boys Cross Country!!. It wasn’t that long ago that I was in a wheelchair and I was outside everyday in all of the nasty fall weather of Central New York running!

Today I can play with my kids and I am an any day soon to be grandma.. I can run in the fields, and on the roads of the countryside, and today I workout with high impact cardio workouts and muscle building.. and do 5 sets of 10 pullups.

The nutrition and the quality of the shakes is undeniable and unsurpassed. And everyday I am blessed for the quality of life I have now… and its all because I drink Shakeology .. it literally has been life changing. And to think where I would be if I never tried it…. still in pain 🙁

Thank you for being part of the Beachbody Coaching Team!

Love always,

Michelle Metcalf on Shakeology

Michelle Metcalf says, “I am amazed, that after 3 days of Shakeology the amount of energy I have! I normally would have a pepsi as my pick me up in the am to make it through work, now I dont even need it! The shakeology does it for me!!!! Its so nice to not have the sluggishness and grogginess I — USED to have!!!!

Also, because this shake makes sooooooo much, I have been splitting it up into half scoop in the morning and half scoop at night. I have been splitting that with my mom because its almost toooo much for me to drink. She suffers from RA pretty bad, well since I have been sharing with her, she has been cleaning and rearranging things like a mad woman and is still going strong!! Normally after 2 days she would be in so much pan and wanting to sleep all the time. Its so nice to have my mom back!!! :)”

90 days From Scrawny to Brawny

I used a very specific home fitness program to accomplish this in 90 days. I followed the program to a T with special emphasis on lifting heavy and rock solid Nutrition. Without the heavy lifting and superior nutrition I would not have gotten superior results in 90 days. Shakeology, natures available foods, portion controlling, and eating every 2 or 3 hours is key to my nutrition.  Feel free to contact me on facebook about your personal health and fitness goals.

PCOS Part 1A “The Update” By Letitia Burns

Letitia

Well, it’s been three months since I posted my original “Note” Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Part 1 “The Missing Piece” and I have some exciting news to share. I have been drinking Shakeology religiously since my first post and I am VERY pleased to report that for the first time in over 10 years I am finally experiencing regular menstrual cycles. What’s more, not only am I menstruating regularly, but without any PMS symptoms. As I mentioned in my previous post, I had been suffering from extreme cramping (which was later reveled to be cyst ruptures) that would literally cause me to become violently ill. Those nights seem to have become a thing of the past. In fact, this last month passed so uneventfully I was caught completely off guard the day my period started.

I’ve also noticed some additional benefits that have me excited beyond words. For me, two of the crulest symptoms of PCOS were the acne and hair loss. As a teen I didn’t have too much of a problem with my skin, not nearly as bad as many of my friends did, however, in my 20’s I started having nothing but problems, and nothing I tried could clear it up. Well, I am ecstatic to say that I am currently enjoying the  clearest skin I have had since my whole PCOS nightmare began.

The issues with my hair have probably been, for me, the most embarrassing of all the physical symptoms. As a child I always had thick, dark, fast growing hair, but in my mid-20’s I noticed that not only did my hair stop growing, but it was falling out at an excessive rate. By the time I was 28 it was literally a traumatic experience for me to brush or wash my hair as I’d end up with handfuls that had come out. I was scared to death that I was going to end up bald like the men in our family. To make matters worse, my hair was constantly oily. No matter how frequently or infrequently I washed it, or what brand of shampoo I used I just couldn’t seem to get it clean. I was so embarrassed, my already low self-esteem became almost non-existent and the thought of being involved in a serious relationship with someone that could lead to living together (or something more) was completely out of the question as I wasn’t about to let anyone know what I was going through. Since I have been drinking Shakeology my hair has stopped falling out, I can use whatever shampoo I feel like without having to worry about my hair being oily an hour later, and my hair has actually grown over an inch since I cut and colored it the beginning of June. In fact, it’s growing so fast that I’ve actually given up on coloring it as I just don’t have the time or resources to keep up with it.

I can’t say enough about the positive changes I’ve experienced in my life since I started drinking Shakeology, and if my own experiences aren’t enough to convince you, I will be sharing testimonials from other Shakeology drinkers on my page throughout the day. Shakeology has done so much for me and other people that I know personally, and I want to share this amazing product with as many people as I can because I know first hand, this is the real deal.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Part 1 “The Missing Piece” By Letitia Burns

Letitia

I think I was about 20 years old when I first realized that something in my body wasn’t working quite right. It started with missed periods, then extreme cramping (which was later reveled to be cyst ruptures) that would literally cause me to become violently ill. Additionally I noticed other little things that at the time I didn’t realize were related (I.e. hair loss, problems with my skin, and weight issues). I didn’t have a clue what was going on and I was afraid to try to talk with my mom or go to the doctor (I was in college and still on my mom’s insurance) because I figured my mom would say it was because I was way too young when I had my son, so I suffered in relative silence for about three years. Just before Thanksgiving 2003 I came across an article online about Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and was shocked to see that all of the symptoms I’d been dealing with where outlined in the article.  Armed with the article I finally found the strength to talk with my mom and she agreed it was time to see the doctor. I won’t bore you with all the details about getting a diagnosis, lets just say PCOS wasn’t nearly as common in 2003 as it is today and it took multiple doctors and multiple tests before anyone would commit.

Unfortunately, getting a diagnosis wasn’t the only struggle. At the time there still wasn’t a lot known about exactly what causes PCOS, and how to treat it, so I was put on birth control pills to regulate my period and advised to switch to a very low carb diet to help with the weight issues and hopefully get ahead of the diabetes I’m destined to end up with. I’ve been off and on the birth control pills since but they cause other problems of they’re own.

I stopped taking the birth control pills in August after having been on them again for about two years and within a month menstruation  had stopped and the cyst ruptures started happening again. By December I had just about reached my breaking point, just about. There’s been quite a few advances in the treatment of PCOS in the last few years, and a couple of my friends have had some success, but the treatments are all medical and taking pills just isn’t for me.  While doing some research online I came across a page that explained how nutrition and getting the right balance of vitamins and minerals can help reduce and even eliminate the symptoms of PCOS. Of course, the creators of the website wanted you to buy their nutritional supplements to the tune of $200+ a month for, you guessed it, a bunch of pills, but it got me to thinking. I’d been reading the various testimonials regarding Shakeology Tom had been posting up for some time and I started wondering if it would help with the PCOS too.

I started drinking Shakeology as part of my morning ritual beginning in January, and within one week I got my period for the first time since August. (Yes ladies, I know, you’d have to be crazy to actually want to get your period, but with a family history of endometrial cancer  hanging over my head I have learned to appreciate the necessity of menstruation.) I continued to drink Shakeology every day and four weeks later, like clockwork, I got my period again, and all without birth control pills. Curious person that I am I began to wonder if it really was the Shakeology that was bringing back the regularity to my menstrual cycle or if it was just coincidence so I decided to do a little experimenting. I quit drinking the Shakeology for about 6 weeks and found that, as I suspected, I didn’t menstruate and I wasn’t feeling well at all so I started drinking Shakeology again every day, and once again within a week I saw a return of my menstrual cycle.

Even if I were to never receive another benefit from Shakeology, the regulation of my menstrual cycle alone is well worth the cost to me. However, I am very pleased to say that I have seen other changes as well that I will write about later. If you or someone you know is suffering from PCOS, please reach out for help.
