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.
