Gut Health: The Foundation of Your Immunity

Would you believe that over 70% of your immune activity and cells are in your gut? 👀

Your gut is home to a HUGE family of trillions of microbes known as your gut microbiota. 🦠 They help train your immune system to distinguish between harmful invaders and beneficial substances.

There are two kinds of microbes:
• 👍 Probiotics (good guys): Live, helpful bacteria and yeasts that can produce substances that support your immune response. They also help your body maintain a healthy community of microbes.

• 😬 Potentially pathogenic microbes (bad guys): Bacteria, viruses, and yeasts that cause illness. Examples include toxic E. coli, salmonella, and the norovirus.

3 WAYS to HELP YOUR IMMUNITY by SUPPORTING YOUR GUT:
🔸 Probiotics and Prebiotics: Eat plenty of produce because most fruits and veggies contain prebiotic fiber, which feeds the good guys. For probiotics, you can enjoy fermented foods like yogurt, kimchi, and kefir. We are also fans of the Optiflora® DI probio

Look what arrived!

Our Shaklee team is hosting a 7-Day Healthy Cleanse, beginning September 9th and I’m so exited!

👉🏻 What do I need?
•You’ll need to order the cleanse from Shaklee. It consists of pre-portioned packets of supplements you’ll take twice daily. Otherwise, you’ll need an abundance or fruit and veggies to consume during the day. You will receive a shopping list and recipes to use (if you’d like).

👉🏻 How does the cleanse work?
•You will be added to a FB page (if you would like to be) for support, community, accountability, tips, hacks, recipes and questions.

👉🏻Can you have coffee?
•You can do whatever you want, but some people abstain from coffee all week and some people choose to have one black coffee in the morning. You do you!

👉🏻Can I have my protein smoothie in the morning?
•This particular cleanse is designed to give your liver and digestive system a rest and reset. Protein is hard on the liver and while it’s vital for our survival over time, taking one week to eat no protein gives our liver and gut a rest and is actually a good practice periodically. You CAN have your daily collagen, however.

👉🏻What if I can’t start on the same day as everyone else?
•That is totally fine! The FB group will remain active so you can start and stop any day you want. I’m actually starting this Friday, September 6th.

👉🏻How much is the cleanse?
•It is $44.95 with our member pricing for the 7 days of supplements, BUT I have a special link where you can get FREE member enrollment (normally $19.95) and an additional $10 off. (Caveat-the initial order has to be at least $50, but we have some supplements for $11 to $15 that will essentially be free if you add them to the order to get the discount.) You also are NOT enrolled in an autoship so it can be a one time thing. We do have autoship available for any product that awards great loyalty points, but that is an option, not a necessity.

I hope that answers any questions you may have had! IF you are interested in joining us, you’ll want to order ASAP so you can get your cleanse.

Comment INFO and I will send you a link to order! 🧡

Kermit wasn’t kidding when he said it’s not easy being green! 💚🌱😂

But guess what? Greens might be the hardest-working veggies out there, packed with so much goodness they practically give your insides a standing ovation. Swipe through the pictures for ideas on incorporating them into what you’re already eating.

If squeezing them into your meals feels like a full-time job, don’t worry, I’ve got your back with some organic, chemical-free super supplements that’ll do the hard work for you.
They’re like a shortcut to feeling like a health guru without the kale obsession.

Shaklee provides two options for helping you get the greens in:
🥬Organic Greens Booster: One cup of raw, organic, nutrient-rich green vegetables in every scoop! This whole food supplement packs the goodness of one cup of raw, organic, nutrient-rich green vegetables into every scoop, including kale, spinach, and broccoli, making it easy to get the vegetables you might be missing. Just add one scoop or more to your Life Shake™ or try it in your favorite soups, stews, or pasta.
🌱Alfalfa Complex: Green superfood abundant in vitamins, minerals, and chlorophyll. The roots of Alfalfa burrow deep to reach minerals inaccessible to other plants. Shaklee uses ultra-pure, premium alfalfa grown to maintain nutrient- and chlorophyll-rich leaves. Alfalfa Complex contains no fungicides, bacteriocides, synthetic hormones, growth regulators, or chemicals.

Let me know if you’d like to try either or both and I’ll send you a special link to save big $$$!

Cellular health refers to the overall well-being and proper functioning of individual cells in an organism.

When I was doing my health coaching certification, I learned that cells are the fundamental building blocks of ALL living organisms, and their health is essential for the proper functioning of tissues, organs, and the entire organism.

Did you know that your cells are attacked over 500 TRILLION TIMES EVERY MINUTE? The accumulated damage from diet, environmental toxins and wear and tear of simply being alive causes your cells to age and when your cells age, you age.

Because of this (and the fact that my age now rounds up to 60!), Vivix was one of the first Shaklee products I ordered for us.

The key ingredients (muscadine grape, resveratrol, extracts from red wine, purple carrot, black currant. Pomegranate and chebulic myrobalan) in Vivix are shown to:
•protect DNA from damage
•neutralize free radicals
•protect against oxidative stress
•blunt inflammatory response
•reduce formation of damaging age proteins
•power cellular energy production

Friends, this product has 27 global patents! Clinical studies resulted in 2/3 reduction in DNA damage and 98.8% increase in cellular energy.

We use the gummies (3 per day), but it also comes in a liquid and liquid gels.

If you want to slow the aging process from the inside, start here!

Since Dr. Shaklee brought the first multivitamin to the United States, I knew I had to share about vitamins first.

Health is not one-size-fits-all, Friends. What is right or works for one person is not necessarily what’s right for another…

…even when it comes to vitamins.

Shaklee has a variety of vitamin choices, including customized packs. Whether you’re a woman, man, child or expectant mother, you can take a short quiz and have individual vitamin packs sent to you, based on your current health and health goals. You can even upload blood work or DNA results!
