Getting Your Gut Healthy with Plexus

I may be a Plexus ambassador, but it never stops amazing me when I think about how much I've changed over the past four months. For the longest time, I had no idea that my gut was seriously damaged because of the food I had been eating and because of the medications I've taken for most of my life.

Did you know that antibiotics, over the counter medications and prescription pain killers can all cause big problems in your gut? I didn't either. I had always thought that these things were supposed to help us. It turns out that taking them might relieve symptoms in the short term, but they can cause big problems long term.

Getting your gut healthy is as easy as adding a Probiotic to your daily regimen. Dr. David Williams is  an expert when it comes to gut health, and he's always posting great stuff about probiotics. He says, "The bowel is a warm, moist, nutrient-rich environment that lacks oxygen and strong digestive fluids, making it an ideal place for bacteria to grow and flourish. When you take into account the way our society eats these days (little fiber and an excess of sugar, salt, and processed foods), it's easy to understand how pathogenic bacteria can gain a strong foothold in the colon. To make matters worse, we have drastically cut back on our consumption of vegetables and of beneficial essential fatty acids such as those found in certain fish (including salmon, mackerel, and herring) and flaxseed."

Most of us don't eat the way we should, which leaves our gut vulnerable to TONS of bad bacteria. A good probiotic replaces that bad bacteria with GOOD bacteria. Everyone can benefit from a Probiotic. If you experience any of the following, you need one too: 

• Brain fog
• Feeling bloated
• Fatigue
• Sugar cravings
• Skin problems (like eczema, psoriasis, etc.)
• Joint pain
• Acne
• Migraines
• Menstrual irregularities

ProBio5 is one of the most powerful probiotics you can get. It contains 5 extra strength probiotics, added enzymes, intestinal flora, grapeseed extract and a powerful punch of B6 vitamins. 

Whether your goal for the new year is to lose weight or you just want to feel better in general, getting started with ProBio5 as a part of the Tri-Plex from Plexus is a great way for you to do it. I'd love to give you more information on how you can start your health journey in 2016.

I'm excited about seeing even more great changes in 2016. I look forward to chatting with you about Plexus and ProBio5!

It's Not About Weight Loss...It's About Getting Healthy - With Plexus

Can I be real with you for just one moment?

When I started using Plexus in August of this year, I had one goal and one goal only. I wanted to lose weight. I did have this annoying rash that wouldn't go away, no matter how many steroid creams I used, but other than that, I wanted to lose weight; and I mean a lot of weight. My goal was to lose 125 pounds, total.

This picture was taken a few months before I started Plexus, but let me tell you...it didn't get any better. In fact, I would have to say it got worse. A lot worse.

I knew I had to do something or I was going to continue to have health problems. I already had a bad back, total body eczema, threatening plantar fasciitis symptoms and a host of other issues. I was also tired of fighting panic attacks every couple of weeks, tired of feeling like my brain was in a fog all the time. I could go on and on...but I was the most tired of looking the way that I did. 

I got to the point where I was just desperate for an answer to my dilemma. I needed a way out, and since just changing my diet and trying to exercise more wasn't cutting it, I chose Plexus. 

What I didn't realize was how many other things were going to change for me as well!

I knew from talking to my friend Rebekah that gut health was probably the culprit behind the issues I was having, and my chiropractor was saying the same things. So...I set out to fix that with Plexus Tri-Plex.

Three little products that really pack a punch for your health. 

A few months later I added Accelerator+ and X-Factor to the lineup just to see what would happen. 

Want to know what happened????

Everything.

My total body eczema is gone without a trace. That rash I told you about in the beginning, that's fading away too. I don't have any more pain, I'm thinking more clearly than ever before, my feet don't hurt, no more panic attacks, and for the first time since I was a CHILD, I felt fantastic!!! Oh, and I lost weight too!

The conclusion? 

It's not just about weight loss. We live in a toxic environment with toxic food everywhere you look. The medicines we take wreak havoc on our guts and constantly guzzling soda, alcohol and other types of beverages is taking its toll on us too. 

It doesn't matter what your health issues are. 90% of the immune system lies in the gut, and when you get your gut healthy again, everything else falls back in line. 

The way it's supposed to be. 

You are NOT created to deal with physical pain every single day of your life. You were not created to have depression, anxiety, auto-immune disease, migraines, fatigue or joint problems. You were created for a purpose and you were created to be in GOOD HEALTH. God gave us plants and natural resources to keep us healthy, and that's what Plexus does. 

I did a really good job of poisoning myself "once upon a time." Plexus made it right and now I'm on the right track toward good health. Won't you join me?

From One Parent to Another...at Christmas

If you've been following my blog, you already know that I'm a Plexus ambassador who has had some pretty significant results since I started my Plexus journey in August of this year. However, what you might not know (unless you know me personally) is the fact that I'm a parent.

I have three of my own children and I have a step-son whom I love just like he was my own. I write this post because I want to talk with you as one parent to another, and it all comes from something my youngest son (5 years old) said to me last week.

It was Wednesday and I was taking him to his basketball practice. We left the house together and I'm still thankful that he said what he said before we got to the school where his practices are held. He said, "My Mom will never be fat again!" He said it loud and he said it proud while we were walking to my van. Then he looked at me and he said, "Right Mom?"

What could I say? I had to reply with, "Right, Caleb." It was true. He was right. I would never be "fat" again.

I thought about his words and they were so sweet, even if they would have embarrassed me around strangers. The fact remained that this little boy, whose world is so small and so innocent, noticed the fact that I was no longer as big as I once was. I'm far from my goal weight, and I've still got a way to go before I reach it, but I'm getting there.

Parents, it's Christmastime. I talk with a lot of people about Plexus all the time, and I totally understand why so many of them want to wait to start Plexus until after Christmas is over. I do. Those wish lists from the little ones in your home are probably getting longer by the day, and more than anything, you can't wait to see their faces light up on Christmas morning. I also know what it's like to go without just so your kids can have everything they need or want. I'm the Mom who has to be told by my husband to by myself new clothes because I'm still wearing a lot of the same things I wore five years ago. However, in that moment with my son, I realized what he really wanted, more than anything else...even if he didn't realize it himself.

He wanted a healthy Mom.

I haven't been that Mom for a long time. The changes I'm seeing in myself are small, but they're there. So far, I've noticed:

• Being able to actually fit in amusement park rides so that I can enjoy them with my family instead of sitting on the sidelines because getting into them is so uncomfortable (or impossible).
• Being able to fit my youngest on my lap once again because (hey, would you look at that!) my lap didn't actually disappear after all. 
• Not getting sick all the time and having to take time off from my work and time off from my family because I needed to rest.

When I started with Plexus, I started because I was desperate to lose weight. I couldn't stand how I looked anymore, and I felt powerless to stop the weight from creeping up on me. It was a decision that changed my life. In fact, yesterday, I posted this picture on Facebook:

This is how much my jeans size has changed since I started Plexus in August. This picture shows a decrease from a size 24 to a size 18. That's a major change! It's inspirational for me to see this, and I hope it inspires you too. 

When I think about how many toys my kids got for Christmas last year that they no longer play with or care about, it spurs me on to do something for them that matters. What matters to me (and to them) is having two parents who are healthy enough to play with them and laugh with them. Material gifts will be under our Christmas tree this year, of course. But in addition to those, my kids will know that they have two parents who care enough about them to be around for a long, long time.

The Non-Scale Victories with Plexus

That's quite a difference!

OK, OK...this was created all in fun. But seriously! Plexus has done so much for my health and overall wellbeing and that is NO JOKE!

I've talked a lot about weight loss with this blog, and Plexus has definitely helped with that. I've lost 30 pounds since the end of August. However, today I'd like to talk about some of the non-scale victories that I've experienced. Maybe that's a subject you're really interested in because you don't really even need to lose weight. That's awesome! Plexus can still help you improve your life and transform your overall health.

1. Better Sleep - I cannot stress this one enough. Since I started Plexus, my sleep has greatly improved. I had already made some changes to my sleep with essential oils, but I wasn't resting as deeply as I am now. I dream every single night since I started Plexus and that tells me that I'm getting a lot of REM sleep. I drift off shortly after my head hits the pillow and I don't wake up until that alarm goes off most mornings.

2. More Energy - I used to feel terrible by the middle of the day, and that was when I would look for that sugary snack that I felt I needed to carry me through until dinnertime. Sometimes that was a quick bowl of ice cream before the kids got home from school, but most of the time it was something like a candy bar or some other type of chocolate thing. I don't have that problem anymore. I have sustained energy that lasts me all day long, and I don't experience that afternoon crash like I once did.

3. More Motivation to Exercise - I'm someone who loves to exercise, and I like to get as much as I can with my busy schedule. Sweating feels great, and whether I'm going for a walk or I'm on my gazelle, I really do enjoy the fun of working out.

4. Improved Skin Health - Overall, my skin has never been so healthy. I was always someone who could count on breakouts every single month during "certain times," and while I still do get the stray pimple here and there, they are gone so much faster than they were in the past.

5. Knee Pain GONE - This was a big one for me. When I first started Plexus, I had horrible pain in both of my knees. I'm not sure where it came from or how it started, but it hurt so much it was even difficult to make it up my stairs. Now that I'm almost at the end of my third month, I have no knee pain at all, and it's been that way since about the second week.

6. Brain Fog is GONE - This is HUGE too! Before Plexus I would forget everything all the time. I'd forget what I needed in the next room when I walked in to get it. It was ridiculous. I couldn't believe I was so forgetful, but I had a hard time concentrating on things too. Plexus changed all of that for me, and I couldn't be happier.

The question is...what could Plexus do for YOU???

There are great victories to be had for you, both non-scale and scale-related victories. I'd love to share this journey with you! Contact me on Facebook by clicking here or visit my website at the link above!

Benefits of Plexus - The Tri-Plex

Nothing is as important as your health, and when it comes to making sure your body gets what it needs, it just doesn't get any better than Plexus Tri-Plex.

Thanks for checking back for another blog post on Plexus. If you've found this blog, chances are that you're thinking that something is "off" in your body and needs to be corrected. You have probably been asking yourself a lot of questions like:

• How can I lose weight when diet and exercise don't work? 
• Are there pills you can take to lose weight? Do they really work?
• How can I find diet and exercise plans that work?

Here is the secret...

I'm not saying that diet and exercise don't work on their own. They do...for some people. There are so many things that could be holding you back from reaching your weight loss goals, and many people don't realize all of the things that could be standing in their way. I'm talking about things like:

• Diabetes
• Thyroid Issues
• Adrenal Fatigue
• Fluctuating Blood Sugars
• Hormone Issues
• Insulin Resistance
• Depression

That's quite a list! Maybe you're looking at it and you know you have one, two or maybe even five issues on that list.

That's why you need Tri-Plex.

Plexus Tri-Plex works because it gets your body healthy from the inside out. Plexus starts by taking care of the things that are holding you back so that your body can come into balance once again. For some people that takes a few weeks, and for others it takes longer. However, if you give the Tri-Plex a solid 90 day try, you'll see results.

Let's talk about some of the things I've noticed since I started using the Tri-Plex. This is my 60 day anniversary, by the way!

I've noticed:

• No more chronic fatigue
• No more sugar cravings
• Weight loss - 27 pounds!
• Eczema - GONE!
• Aches and pains - GONE!
• Increased energy
• Decreased need for coffee
• Anxiety - GONE!
• Brain fog - GONE!

These are only some of the benefits I've found since I started using Plexus. These products really do make a difference.

Don't you think so?

Looking for a Plexus Ambassador in Elmira, NY?

Believe me! I understand the struggle!

You're interested in trying out Plexus because you've heard a lot of great things about what it can do for your body. The issue is you don't know anyone who uses it, and that makes you feel a little bit nervous. You don't want to get stuck with an ambassador who won't be able to be there with you through it all.

If you're looking for a Plexus Ambassador in Elmira, NY, I'm the person you're looking for!

If anyone was skeptical, it was me. My friend Rebekah talked to me about Plexus in May of this year and I really wasn't interested. I felt like because of my hormone issues since my tubal ligation, there wasn't a product on the market that was going to be able to help me. I just wanted to lose weight, but it seemed impossible. I was quite sure I was either going to have to get a hysterectomy or I was going to need some type of hormone replacement. My own prognosis was grim, and I just kept watching the numbers on the scale climb higher and higher.

So, I watched her. You might say I stalked her page to get more information. I didn't really talk to her about it again because I didn't want to be nagged. Haha. Oh...if only I knew then what I know now. I did some of my own research and to be honest, I was mostly interested in the price. I was a bit taken aback at the idea of spending that much on a supplement, so I started researching other options that were cheaper.

I managed to lose a few pounds with essential oils, but the results didn't last like I had hoped they would. I was eating right, I was exercising, and then I got stuck. I was so tired of being stuck.

The money back guarantee was what persuaded me to try Plexus. I decided to dive right in with the Tri-Plex, and I messaged Rebekah and signed up as an Ambassador for the wholesale pricing. A few days later I got my package in the mail and I was really excited to get started.

This was me:

I look at this picture now and I can hardly believe that was what I looked like. This picture was taken without my knowledge, so there was no chance to "suck" anything in or attempt to look better. This was me "in the raw." 

Sad, I know. 

After 40 days, that became this:

I had no idea I had a waist!

The moment you decide to give Plexus a try, that's the moment when everything changes. I've lost 25 pounds, and I'm still losing! I have a long way to go, but I never thought I would lose that much after only 40 days. I can't wait to post my future pictures, but for now, I'll leave you with this thought...

Plexus is not a get skinny quick scheme. It's not a diet. It's about getting your body healthy on the inside, and THAT changes your outside. I needed something to change in my life, and Plexus made it happen.

It can happen for you too!

40 Days with Plexus!

Have you seen these results???

I'm so excited that I just had to come here and write a blog post about it. The picture on the left was taken at my daughter's 16th birthday party on September 6. I had already been using the Plexus Tri-Plex for about a week by that point. I was definitely feeling much better and I had more energy, but I still was not happy with the way that I looked (obviously!). I was really hoping I would start to see some big changes really soon.

The picture on the right was taken yesterday, which is about 40 days into using Plexus Tri-Plex. I really can't see much of a change in myself when I look in the mirror, but I can when I see pictures. I saw this and I couldn't believe the change in me. This is incredible, and to think that it happened in only 40 days!

What am I doing differently?

I started eating gluten-free (it's actually "mostly" Paleo) several months before I started Plexus. It didn't really do much to change my weight at all, but I did feel better without eating so much pasta and bread. That was the main reason I kept eating that way. I liked how much better I felt. I've maintained that diet ever since, so I was actually already eating that way when I started Plexus.

Right after I started Plexus, I had to take some time off from my walking and other exercise. I hurt my knees and had to take a break, but my walking buddy also went on vacation, so I wasn't walking every day. So, this past month I really haven't done much exercise other than a handful of times on my gazelle and some walking here and there. I would say now that I probably exercise about 3-4 times a week for anywhere from a half an hour to an hour each time.

I'm drinking more water! I aim for half my body weight in ounces every day, and I've hit that goal since I started. Plexus works by eliminating the "junk" that we have in our bodies. Drinking water helps to flush all of that stuff out, so meeting your water goals are really important.

Nothing else is different with me at all. What you're seeing is REAL results! I can help you enjoy the same types of results (or even better!) and you can pay wholesale prices for all of your products to boot. Message me on Facebook for more information!
