Make smart choices!

Many people are looking for a "magic pill" that will allow them to drop 50 pounds in a month. If that is what you are seeking, then don't bother reading this blog, because that is not what Plexus is about.  Plexus is about getting healthy, so losing weight is only a part of the equation.  We have two products that can help you with that particular goal:  #Plexus Boost or #Plexus Accelerator+.   Notice that I said "or" not "and".  That is because you either take Boost or Accelerator+, but not both.  

Plexus Boost is an alternative companion to Slim, and is a great way to kick start your biggest health goals.*   Plexus Boost works as a traditional hunger suppressant – with a proprietary blend of botanicals and super foods like Carallum Fimbriata, an edible cactus traditionally used by tribal East Indians to help suppress hunger.*  Boost also contains a thermogenic to help heat up the body to burn fat more quickly. 
Plexus Boost contains Yerba Mate which has been shown to be a stimulant, diuretic and it may assist with weight management. The Higenamine used in Plexus Boost, sourced from Tangerine Peel and Lotus Seed, has been shown to increase energy. 




Plexus Accelerator+ is also a great sidekick to Slim.  When taken with Slim, in conjunction with diet and exercise, Accelerator+ helps you manage your weight.* Like Boost, Accelerator+ contains Yerba Mate and Higenamine, but also contains 5-HTP.  What is 5-HTP? I'm glad you asked!

5-hydroxytryptophan (an amino acid) is an intermediate metabolite used to produce serotonin. Serotonin is a very important substance which helps promote normal brain and nerve function. Serotonin is the main neurotransmitter that supports mood, sleep functions and appetite. 5-HTP is not found in food, but is produced by the body as a result of the intake of Tryptophan. Yet, an increase in foods containing Tryptophan don't seem to have an effect on the increase of 5-HTP levels. Since the FDA banned the production of Tryptophan in 1988, it opened the door to the production of the natural ingredient, 5-HTP.

Some of the health results of low serotonin levels and why you may need 5-HTP:
• Insomnia
• Headaches
• Joint stiffness
• Anxiety
• Mild to Moderate Depression
• Increase in appetite and cravings


I want to repeat that these products should not be taken together - pick one or the other.  If you are already very active and just want to eat a little less, try Boost.  If you're a bit sluggish and would like to kickstart your metabolism, try Accelerator+. 


Both products are 100% vegetarian and are gluten-free.  

NOTE:  Yerba Mate is a natural stimulant, so people taking high blood pressure medicine (like me) should consult with a doctor before adding one of these supplements to your routine.  

Choose red or purple based on your lifestyle and goals, but choose one if you want to manage your weight!

Do you need an edge?

If so, I have the answer for you!  #Plexus Edge will help you get energized and think sharp with Plexus EDGE, the solution to your personal energy crisis.*
Life can leave you feeling depleted, irritable, distracted and exhausted. In fact, 85% of Americans wake up feeling tired. Nearly 1/3 adults say they don’t have enough energy to perform daily tasks and 53 percent of adults report feeling sluggish during the day.

Think this is life? Think again.

With just one capsule a day, EDGE changes the way you are able to live by providing healthy, sustained energy and increased mental focus.*
Three key ingredients make up this exclusive, clinically tested blend: energy-boosting Theacrine, jitter-busting L-Theanine, and natural caffeine. The result is a formula that powers you through your day, giving you energy for the things that matter most. Experience life without the distractions, without the sugar crash, without the limits. A better life is within reach with the help of EDGE.*
I have not personally tried Edge because my pink drink (aka Plexus Slim) gives me sustained energy throughout the day, but a lot of people are raving about this product.  If you are drinking energy drinks, try this instead - at Preferred pricing it is only one dollar per day, which is less than what you're paying for that can.  Not to mention what those drinks are doing to your body! 


Benefits

  • Healthy, Sustained Energy*
  • Sharper Thinking*
  • Enhances Concentration & Focus*
  • Improves Mood*

Features

  • Clinically Tested Ingredients
  • Patent Pending Formula
  • 100% Vegetarian & Gluten-Free


60-day money back guarantee if you are not satisfied.

Let's talk about healthy skin!

I have spent years in the sun, playing softball, cheerleading (yes, I was a high school cheerleader!), soccer, golf, and - of course - the beach.  After all, I live in Destin!  The sun takes its toll on your skin, as does aging.  I had a bout of malignant melanoma, so I am very careful of sun exposure, but I still get out there and I still see the age spots and pigmentation changes that go along with it.  I also started getting "old age barnacles".  Raised pink bumps, small red freckles, and little rough patches that feel sort of scaly.   The product I am sharing with you today is Plexus Body Cream.  

Plexus Body Cream is a unique skin renewing cream with Spirulina Algae and Activated Charcoal.  Initial reports say that Plexus Body Cream has been found to revitalize the skin over the entire body of both men and women.
The effective detoxifying action is promoted by Spirulina Algae, plus the new addition of Activated Charcoal, to remove age-advancing toxins and impurities from the skin. These ingredients are carried into the skin's layers on a Rich Blend of Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera Gel), Sweet Almond Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Lavender Oil and Rosaceae Oil.
Plexus Body Cream brings new life and vibrancy to your skin!
Since I began using this product, I have seen the raised pink bump disappear, along with a few of the red freckles.  My skin feels softer and the rough patches have diminished.  My skin still shows signs of aging and sun damage - after all, this isn't a miracle cream! - but it definitely looks better than it did 6 months ago.  
Since your skin (including hair and nails) is your body's largest organ - AND it is a big part of what others see when they look at you - don't you think you owe it to yourself to take care of it?  Try this incredible body cream and I bet you fall in love with it!  As usual, you have 60 day money back guarantee - what are you waiting for?

Ease your body's aches and pains

Today's post is going to cover two products that have a synergistic relationship that will help relieve discomfort from an active lifestyle - or as in my case, an aging body:   #Plexus Ease Cream and #Plexus Ease Capsules.  

New Zealand Green Lipped Mussels and Turmeric are the "secret sauce" in these two incredible products that help to reduce inflammation and ease aches and pains.  (BTW - Isn't it great how many Plexus product names describe what the product does?!) Sadly, if you have shellfish allergies - as many people do - these products will not be a good fit for you.





I have been using Ease Cream and Ease Capsules for several months to help with "the foot".  But I also use them to help relieve tension headaches and ease sore muscles after kayaking or yard work.  I have seen stories where people are using Ease Cream to help relieve pain from sunburn and to reduce scarring!

As with all Plexus products, you have a 60-day money back guarantee if you aren't satisfied.  Don't wait! These products come in a convenient combo pack too!

Do you love carbs but hate the guilt?

#PlexusBlock is one of my favorite products in the Plexus lineup.  Plexus Block contains natural ingredients, clinically-tested to work immediately to block the absorption of up to 48% of carbs and sugars from your meal — without blocking the absorption of any beneficial nutrients.

When you eat, the body does what it’s naturally wired to do — converts carbs and sugar into glucose. But when too much glucose is converted at once, the excess can be stored as fat. Excess glucose means excess fat and excess fat can lead to excess weight.
Take control of what you eat, with BLOCK and have up to 48% less guilt!  
You can take it with two meals a day, but if you are also drinking Slim, chances are your cravings for carbs has gone down! 

Features & Benefits

Maximum Strength to Promote Healthy Body Weight*
  • Helps control carbs and sugars*
  • Reduces the glycemic index of carbohydrates and sugars*
  • Helps manage your weight when combined with healthy diet & exercise*
  • Helps maintain blood sugar levels already in the normal range*
  • Doesn’t block absorption of any beneficial nutrients

Works 3 Ways to Maintain Normal Blood Sugar*
  • Neutralizes enzymes that convert carbohydrates into glucose*
  • Neutralizes enzymes that convert sugar into glucose*
  • Helps improve glucose metabolism*
  • 100% Vegetarian
  • Gluten-free
Clinically-tested Key Ingredients
Exclusive Brown Seaweed Blend: In clinical studies, the Brown Seaweed blend has been shown to help neutralize the activity of digestive enzymes, alpha amylase and alpha glucosidase, by specifically targeting these enzymes during the digestion of carbohydrates and sugars.*
White Kidney Bean Extract: White Kidney Bean 10:1 Extract (Phaseolus vulgaris) also acts on the alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase enzymes, to support blocking the absorption of complex carbohydrates.*
Both the Brown Seaweed blend and the White Kidney Bean extract slow the absorption of carbohydrates and sugars to inhibit their conversion into glucose.*
Chromax® Chromium Picolinate: Chomium Picolinate is a dietary supplement that can help improve glucose metabolism and improve body composition.*

Is your multivitamin turbocharged? Mine is!

#PlexusXFactor is a turbocharged multivitamin and antioxidant supplement with a never-before-seen formulation of a patented aloe blend, New Zealand Blackcurrant, and vitamins. All of which results in vastly improved absorption and assimilation for optimal nutrition and wellness protection. 

Consuming multivitamin supplements is a good thing. With our poor diets and all the other threats to our health, it’s critical to have a high-quality food source of vital nutrients. But did you know that even if you’re taking a multivitamin product, you’re probably not getting nearly the level of superior-quality nutrients you thought you were? In fact, studies suggest that the majority of multivitamin products are of poor quality and difficult for the body’s digestive tract to break down, digest and absorb. But there’s great news! Plexus, a world-recognized leader in the health and nutritional industries, has developed a breakthrough in vitamin supplements. Plexus XFactor is a turbocharged multivitamin and antioxidant supplement with a never-before-seen formulation of a patented aloe blend and New Zealand Blackcurrant of which results in vastly improved absorption and assimilation for optimal nutrition and wellness protection. 





When I first started Plexus, I opted for the XFactor chewable because I liked the flavor and it was easy to take when on the road - just chew and go, no need to have water handy.  It takes great and was very easy.  After a month, I noticed my gnarly toe was healing! 




But I was very curious about the aloe, so I switched to the XFactor capsule in March 2016.  Since then, I have noticed my hair is getting thicker and my fingernails are growing faster and stronger than they have in years.  This stuff is amazing!! 

If you already take a multivitamin, please consider replacing it (when you run out) with XFactor. 60-day money back guarantee!

Feel better with AHIFLOWER Oil

Many of you have probably taken krill oil or fish oil capsules at some point in your life.  If, like me, you hate both the size and the taste of them, then you will want to try #MegaX


MegaX is different, first and foremost, because it is 100% plant based. No fish burps!   It is also different because it contains Omega 3, 6, 9, 5 and 7.
Most fish-based capsules have Omega-3 and some have Omega-6, but you will be hard pressed to find one that has all of these.  I searched Google and finally gave up looking.  But what I did find was an article on why these essential fatty acids are so important to your health.  According to the article, research indicates it could be beneficial for diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, digestive disorders, and many other areas of good health.  I have noticed significant improvement in my blood pressure (my medicine has been cut in half).  My fingernails are much stronger and are growing faster than ever and my hair is getting thicker after a few years of major issues with thinning.


Plexus MegaX was created using AHIFLOWER® Oil, which contains the omega 3 stearidonic acid (SDA) which your body converts to EPA (the omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil) at a rate of up to 4 times more efficiently than our other plant-based oils which contain no SDA, such as flaxseed.

Benefits

  • Research suggests that omega-3s may help lower triglyceride levels. Lower levels of triglycerides are associated with good health, especially cardiovascular health
  • Supports healthy lipid levels
  • Supports normal cholesterol and blood pressure levels, which can help promote cardiovascular health
  • Support for brain health
  • Supports healthy brain development 
  • Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids. Also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids, omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function
  • Some research suggests that omega-3s may have a positive effect on gradual memory loss linked to aging
  • Helps with stress management
  • Aids in relaxation
  • Studies on DHA have suggested that a dietary supply of omega-3 fatty acids may be essential for optimal visual development
  • Combines the full range of omega 3, 6, 9, 5 and 7

Features

  • Gluten-Free
  • Carrageenan-Free
  • No fishy aftertaste
  • AHIFLOWER® Oil is the only identity-preserved, non-GMO source of SDA produced following the proprietary Crop Assured 365® identity preservation and quality assurance methods
  • Sustainable and renewable. Other omega products use fish oil and krill oil, which cause concerns regarding overfishing and sustainability (krill and small oily fish such as pilchard, sardine, and anchovy are a primary food source for many endangered marine mammals)
  • No potential marine contaminants, mercury from fish, or PCBs (Polychlorinated biphenyls)
  • AHIFLOWER® Oil offers superior levels of SDA in comparison to other naturally occurring plant sources, providing approximately 60% more SDA than echium oil and 5-10 times more than hempseed oil.
MegaX comes with a 60-day money back guarantee that you won't find at your local drugstore.  I would appreciate your support of my business and YOU will appreciate how much better you feel!

The Secrets of the Pink Drink

Today, I am posting about our flagship - and most popular - product, Plexus Slim.  This is the product that began my own journey to better health.  It is the same product that is helping others balance their blood sugar, reduce cravings for carbs, improving energy, lose inches, and - for many - lose weight. 

David Brown, co-developer of Plexus Slim speaks about the “pink drink”:
  • Our products work with the body to help re-educate the body
  • Slim is designed to help your body get to a healthy BMI (body mass index - % of body fat). Once you hit that BMI, it doesn’t burn tissue. It doesn’t make you lose weight that you don’t need to lose. It will help you maintain and keep you at a healthy BMI.
  • The reason people lose at different rates: If you’ve been carrying around extra weight since your youth, your body thinks a 40% BMI is a natural healthy state. It takes our product a while to re-educate your body to say “No, that’s not a healthy body weight.” It’s what your body has become ACCUSTOMED to. If your body has been at that BMI for a while, it’ll take some time to re-educate.
  • There are 3 types of weight gain:
  1. Genetic
  2. Stage or Plateau which is when you get older and gain, then gain more a few years later
  3. Event – like a pregnancy or medication. Of these 3 types of weight gain, usually the “event” weight will come off easier. Plateau and genetic gains will usually have plateaus as you come down in losing. BE PATIENT. Some of our bodies are “slow learners” and everyone’s biochemistry/physiology is different. No two people will react the same when you introduce a supplement to the body.

Slim contains:
  • 4 ingredients for heart health
  • 4 ingredients for kidney and liver health
  • 1 ingredient for gastrointestinal health
  • 4 ingredients for antioxidant repair
  • 1 ingredient to aid in blood pressure levels
  • 5 ingredients to aid in cholesterol levels
  • 4 ingredients to aid in triglyceride levels
  • 4 ingredients to aid in weight loss
  • 3 ingredients to help suppress appetite
And it is plant based, has no artificial sweeteners, is gluten-free and vegetarian friendly. 

The "pink" coloring of Slim comes from Beetroot.  Prior to Plexus, I had only seen beetroot as an answer to a word find game, but I have learned it has amazing benefits:

💖prevents skin aging and cell damage
💖prevents constipation and improves digestion
💖excellent food during pregnancy as it contains natural folic acid (folate)
💖lowers cholesterol and BP
💖detoxifies the body
💖improves immunity
💖improves memory
💖fat free and energy giving
💖effective for wound healing





And last, but not least, here are some insights on Chromium:
It is the hidden gem in Slim. Most people have a deficiency in this element! If so, you might feel tired, have low blood sugar, a ‪#‎SLOWMETABOLISM‬, or may be diabetic or pre-diabetic (that was me!). Plexus slim has daily 200 micrograms of chromium you need to ward off these health issues. Many products on the market only contain 100 mcg.

Feeling out of sorts?

Feeling Sluggish – BioCleanse can help. As a result of modern, busy lifestyle, it may be tough to get the exercise you need, or eat a balanced diet rich in fiber. This can leave you feeling bloated and uncomfortable. 
Our specially formulated BioCleanse provides a Magnesium source to help you manage those days when your digestive system feels out of balance.
Biocleanse may be the MOST misunderstood Plexus product. It was created because some customers taking Plexus were not losing weight with just slim and accelerator. So the company did research and found out that the GI tract for many were not clean. All the toxins in our world (food and drinks) are wreaking havoc on our bodies.
That being said, there are many detox or cleansing products out there. But BioCleanse is different! It is not intended to be used to completely clean out the colon all at once. That type of cleanse can be very uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing. 
Our specially formulated Bio Cleanse provides a Magnesium source to help you manage those days when your digestive system feels out of balance. 

Features & Benefits
  • Helps cleanse the gastro-intestinal tract
  • Helps energize the body
  • Vitamin C provides antioxidant support
  • Relieves occasional constipation (that is not associated with chronic constipation, which may be a symptom of a serious disease)
  • Gluten Free
  • 100% Vegetarian

If you are getting older and feeling out of sorts with your digestive system, try BioCleanse! 60-day money back guarantee.

Why my probiotic is better than yours

As promised, today I will provide a little more information on one of our products - ProBio5.  

Despite our efforts to make healthy lifestyle choices, it is impossible to avoid the environment around us. Processed foods and the chemicals we are exposed to disrupt the delicate balance of microorganisms in our bodies. Almost 70% of our immune system cells are located in the gut, and optimal health starts with a healthy digestive system. Probiotics are essential to supporting a healthy digestive and immune system, and ProBio5 is one of the best things you can do to maintain a healthy balance of microflora to help promote optimal health.
ProBio5 contains a "special weapon" in the battle for a healthy gut: 
Chitosanase.
It's the difference between ProBio5 and other probiotics. Most probiotics on the market today promote a large quantity of probiotic strains. You've seen it - "50 billion strains per capsule!" or "14 billion good bacteria!" or (my favorite) "85 billion live cultures, GUARANTEED!" But, like most things, it's the quality, not quantity that counts. And, none of these probiotics can be absorbed as thoroughly as ProBio5.  Why exactly? Well, yeast overgrowth actually INHIBITS the absorption of probiotics. When yeast multiplies in the gut, it forms a tough, protective cell wall called Chitin. This is what makes yeast overgrowth hard to kill. ProBio5 (unlike other probiotics) includes the enzyme, Chitosanase, which breaks through that cell wall and effectively attacks the yeast overgrowth, so that the intestines can properly absorb the culture forming units. 

The ProBio5 capsules are also specially formulated to dissolve when they reach the pH of your gut. Why is this important? Other probiotics dissolve in your stomach. Unfortunately, stomach acid will kill off a large percentage of the bacteria before it reaches your gut. ProBio5 ensures that 100% of live cultures and enzymes make their way to your gut - exactly where they need to be.

Why is yeast overgrowth a big deal? Because it prohibits vitamins and minerals from being absorbed fully. Everyone has a yeast overgrowth to some degree (yes, you too) and it could be the reason you feel sluggish, crave sugar, get headaches/migraines, feel bloated, experience constipation, or many other symptoms.

Features & Benefits
  • Promotes digestive health
  • Promotes a healthy immune system
  • Provides 5 strains of probiotic bacteria to help support and maintain intestinal flora
  • Contains enzymes to aid in the breakdown of proteins and fibrous foods during digestion
  • Helps reduce free radical damage in the body
  • Gluten Free

Do me a favor - if you are already taking a probiotic, when you run out, please order ProBio5 from me. (Sign up as Preferred to get the best price.) If you cannot see the difference within 60 days, you can get your money back - no questions asked - and you will be supporting a small business owner.

There can be a handful of issues behind this, but you should consider ‪#‎BioCleanse‬ to aid in flushing the toxins you have built up in your body, as well as oxygenate your body. Gentle on your body...not a crazy “cleanse”. You will feel a difference.
3.) LOW energy levels & rollercoaster blood sugar? Tired in the morning and afternoon? Give ‪#‎PlexusSlim‬ a try to help balance blood sugar ALL DAY, and help reduce inflammation.
4.) If you aren’t using a multivitamin with aloe and black currant, get on‪#‎XFactor‬ ASAP. These ingredients result in up to 400% absorption of vitamins for optimal nutrition and wellness protection. Nothing compares! We also have a chewable vitamin for kids.

9.) Need more energy? Help with cravings? ‪#‎Accelerator‬+ or ‪#‎Boost‬, in conjunction with Plexus Slim will rev up your metabolism and help kick start your weight loss.
10.) Looking for a supplement that may help lower triglyceride levels, support brain health and development, aid in relaxation and stress management? Plexus #MegaX‬ contains Omega 3, 6, 9, plus 5 and 7, with no fishy aftertaste because it is completely plant based!
11.) Love to indulge and eat Mexican, Italian, or other carb-heavy foods, but keep hearing in your head the old saying "once on the lips, twice on the hips"?  Try #PlexusBlock that contains natural ingredients and is clinically-tested to work IMMEDIATELY to block the absorption of up to 48% of carbs & sugars from your meal - without blocking the absorption of any essential nutrients!!
12.) Do you (or someone you know) use energy drinks to help you get through the day? #PlexusEdge is clinically tested to provide healthy, sustained energy, sharpen thinking, and improve mood.  Our patent-pending formula is vegetarian and gluten-free AND costs less than those drinks! 
13.) On the go and need a snack?  Tempted to run through the fast-food drive-through lane? Try #P96 protein shake instead.  Conveniently packaged in individual serving sizes in vanilla and chocolate.  

I look forward to sharing more details about each of these products with you over the next two weeks so you can make an informed decision about your health.

Blood sugar imbalance?

You have asked-how do I even know if I have blood sugar issues?

SIGNS of Blood Sugar Imbalance

1. Darkened skin along the jawline or neck. This darkening of the skin is called acanthosis nigra and occurs due to elevated insulin levels present with elevated blood sugar. It can also be found in areas of the body with creases such as the armpits or under the breasts.

2. Extra abdominal fat, especially in the upper abdomen is a classic sign of blood sugar disturbance. Trunkal fat can include fat on the back, chest sides of the waist and shoulder blade areas.

3. Base of the neck fat pad. Like belly fat, the base of the neck fat is very specific to elevated blood sugar and is a kind of fat that tends to be very inflammatory.

4. Enlarged breasts for men. Elevated blood sugar in men stimulates activity of an enzyme that shifts testosterone to estrogen which then promotes growth of breast tissue.

SYMPTOMS of Blood Sugar Imbalance

1. Fatigue. Feeling tired is a hallmark symptom of blood sugar imbalance and particularly so when it occurs after eating. If it’s bad enough that you can’t hold your eyes open after you eat that is a sure sign of dysregulation of your insulin which normally lowers your blood sugar.

2. Cravings. Especially for sweets and especially after you eat. Another strong sign of poorly regulated blood sugar.

3. Feeling super charged after eating. As much as we think that our food should give us energy it actually should do nothing but satisfy hunger and maintain the energy you already have. That supercharged feeling after eating can a be a symptom of low blood sugar prior to eating. (I’m not counting the effect of caffeine here).

4. Poor focus or attention. When you notice that you can’t continue to focus on what you are doing especially when it involves listening to someone, this can be a classic sign of falling blood sugar. Irritability, depression or frustration can accompany this.

5. Low to no appetite for breakfast. Another hallmark symptom of elevated blood sugar.
And there you have it-a few classic signs and symptoms!
