I love this explanation about skin issues and just in case you forgot♥️

🤨Know what causes these “warts” all over this pumpkin?🤔 SUGAR! They are actually called sugar warts. Sugar builds up inside the pumpkin; it starts to push out of the shell and creates these barnacle-looking blemishes on the surface of the pumpkin😱

Our skin is exactly the same! We consume sugar and it feeds the yeast in the digestive tract. That yeast overgrowth emits 79 different toxins, and guess what? It pushes its way out through our skin!!

🤓The body expresses its toxicity in different ways for different people. Blemishes or irregularities on our skin is one major way! When you solve the problem of yeast overgrowth and balance your sugars, your will benefit.

, , , , - your skin is the largest organ in your body. Taking care of your gut health directly impacts the health of your skin.

What happens to your body when you drink a soda?😳😱🤢

10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. The only reason you don't vomit is the added phosphoric acid!🤮

20 minutes: Liver goes into overdrive and starts turning sugar into fat😬

45 minutes: Brain raises dopamine levels - the same reaction as heroin🤯

60 minutes: Acid in soda binds to calcium, magnesium and zinc which pushes them out of your body (hello osteoporosis)😢

After 60 minutes : Here comes the sugar crash. You’re left dehydrated, tired, sluggish, cranky and depleted of nutrients🥵🥺😭
✨Guess what the pink drink can do??

It helps you to STOP CRAVING SODA!! Real truth here - even hard-core soda drinkers, (diet ones too) won't ‘have to have’ it anymore 🙌🙌🙌 In fact, it helps sugar cravings as a whole…. Among tons of other health benefits 💕

Ready to kick your soda or sugar addiction yet??🚫🥤🍫

🧐Did you know your mental health affects your gut health (and vice versa)?

🧐Did you know you have two brains? 🧠
Yes, you’re THAT smart. 🤓

The central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) controls almost all voluntary and involuntary activities within your body. For example, a voluntary action would be slicing your veggies, while an involuntary action would be blinking, breathing or falling in love. The involuntary actions carried out by your central nervous system are constantly at work taking care of you. Nice, right? Thank you, central nervous system!

Now guess where your second brain lives. Your gut! Yes, it has a mind of it’s very own. Your gut’s “brain” is known as the enteric nervous system. This system is home to 100 million neurons within your intestinal wall. These cute little neurons transmit important information throughout your body. They also control digestion and send status updates to the brain, letting it know how things are going in your belly.

Your two nervous systems have an intricate relationship that’s just now being explored by scientists through the field of neurogastroenterology (that’s a mouthful!). While the enteric nervous system initiates and sustains digestion on its own, signals from the brain, such as stress and anxiety, can have dramatic effects on how well it works. In addition, the brain receives chemical messages from the gut, which can affect your mood and emotions. In fact, the vast majority of serotonin (a neurotransmitter that regulates mood, sleep, anxiety, depression and more) is actually made in your gut, not your brain! It’s all connected and sadly, few doctors ask you about your digestive health when you tell them you’re feeling too blue to cope.”

Gut health is something EVERYONE needs to prioritize!! ❤️

Why does our Probio5 stand out among the rest? How is our different?
It's very exciting and SIMPLE...

👉🏻1- One word: Chitosanase. It's the difference between our probiotic, (ProBio5) and all 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? As we learned earlier this week, 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.

If you need a reminder of 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.

👉🏻2- 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.

👉🏻3- Probio5 is actually 3 products in 1.
*A source of good probiotic strains
*Digestive enzymes to aid in the breakdown of proteins and fibrous foods during digestion.
*Antiviral that helps inactivate free radicals or free radical initiated chemical reactions in the body.

Here’s some 💥EYE-OPENING 💥information... I bet you didn’t know !

Your large intestine is about as long as you are tall with 70% of your IMMUNE system fostered in your gut. Meaning, the largest amount of cells in your body ARE NOT HUMAN, they are BACTERIA!!

There is good bacteria and bad bacteria, but due to our lifestyles (eating high fat, carb, salt, and sugar filled foods, using antibiotics, stress, drinking alcohol etc) the bad bacteria can start to overgrow the good. This is when our bodies start to show the signs that many of you experience...fatigue, sugar/carb cravings, skin issues (acne/oily), bloating, inability to conceive, migraines, inability to lose weight even with proper diet and exercise, brain fog (hard to focus), anxiety, stress, depression, skin/nail fungal infections, struggling to produce breast milk for nursing, eczema, being underweight, psoriasis, hives, rashes, allergies, irritability, mood swings, poor memory, baby weight that won’t come off and the list goes on and on....getting the picture?

Our BACTERIA BALANCE ⚖️is CRUCIAL TO OUR HEALTH and HIGHLY IMPORTANT for our day to day functions!

So how does the TriPlex help?
Think of Probio5 as the scrubbing of your intestines to get rid of bad bacteria while replenishing it with good bacteria and the BioCleanse as the flushing of the bad bacteria out of your system. The Plexus Slim (Pink Drink) helps to keep your body’s fats, cholesterol, and blood sugars balanced so that they don’t continue to feed the bad bacteria!

This is a HUGE reason why Plexus has incredible success rate. Because Plexus is attacking the ROOT OF THE ISSUES🙌 - Not just putting a band-aid on them. If this doesn’t inspire you to start your Plexus journey...I don’t know what will.

Message 📲me, we need to talk! I can help you gain That balance you need to feel your best .. don’t just put a bandaid on your health issues let’s get to the cause .

If you are budgeting, well guess what?! There is a super huge special going on this month to get you started!

Gut health and root healing are huge to overall wellness...

Mom of toddler twins, Theresa Powers, also an Olympic Runner - shaved some significant time off of her running PR's after she started Plexus. Plexus is NOT just for losing weight - it is so much more! 💁🏼‍♀️

Theresa shares,
"I've always been a runner (both pre and post twins) and very active. I actually joined Plexus in an attempt to help with my allergies and asthma.
This past weekend I finished my first Olympic Distance triathlon. I logged more training hours than I ever had marathon training, and had MORE energy. I gave this race my all for the full 2 hours and 38 minutes it took me to finish and when I was done I thought "boy, I'm going to feel this in the morning".
Soreness after big races was normal for me, and I expected to be hurting for a couple of days. Wrong. I had ZERO soreness the next morning, and the only thing that's changed was Plexus.” ✌🏻

Life itself can feel like we are training for a marathon... or is that just me??? This is what helped me have the energy, mental clarity, and wellness I needed to do life the way it needed to be done. Maybe this could give you that extra boost you’ve been looking for, too 💥💥💥

Interesting info about our Vitalbiome.
Lindy Kitchin says...

“As a licensed mental health counselor I have treated hundreds of people with debilitating anxiety and depression. It is hard to see people suffer and lose hope. One of the main reasons I share this product line on social media is because each product is backed by science and research. Anything that can potentially help and not harm is worth sharing.

Interesting facts taken from an article in Life Extension magazine by Stephen Harrington

* Stress, anxiety, and depression affect millions of Americans.
* Mainstream medicine relies on costly medications, with only partial effectiveness and substantial side effects, in an attempt to manage these conditions.
* The recognition of the enormous role played by the intestinal flora, the community of microorganisms living in our intestines, has shifted attention to these organisms as potential partners in managing human mental illnesses.
* Changing the composition of the intestinal flora has been shown in animal studies to significantly affect behaviors and biochemical markers of stress, anxiety, and depression.
* The combination of Lactobacillus helveticus R0052 and Bifidobacterium longum R0175 was specifically developed with mental health in mind.
* This probiotic combination, in oral form, has been proven in human and animal studies to relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression, while demonstrating reductions in stress and anxiety-promoting hormones.
* For anyone currently using medication to manage symptoms of depression and/or anxiety, the new probiotic combination deserves a hard look, both for its effectiveness and for its safety.
When Plexus launched Vital Biome in June 2017 I was jumping out of my seat at convention. Here are the active ingredients. Note the strains listed above with this list.

VitalBiome contains 8 beneficial probiotic strains that include:
Lactobacillus helveticus (R0052),
Bifidobacterium longum (R0175),
Bacillus coagulans (MTCC 5856),
Bifidobacterium lactis (Bi-04),
Saccharomyces boulardii (I-3799),
Bifidobacterium lactis (Bi-07),
Lactobacillus plantarum (LP-115), and Lactobacillus

Validated by 82 scientific studies, 45 of which are human clinical studies, to enhance gut microbiome health and help improve mood. L. helveticus R0052 can adhere to the intestinal cell lining, thereby helping to maintain the intestinal barrier of the gut, while promoting immune and gut health. L. helveticus R0052 has also been clinically demonstrated to help reduce feelings of stress and anxiety while helping improve mood when combined with Bifidobacterium longum R0175.”

🎈What causes bloating? 🙈

Learning the causes of bloating is the first step in relieving the uncomfortable feelings of pressure and fullness.
👉74% of all people experience bloating, and there are many causes of bloating including:
Over eating😳😜
👉Diets rich in fatty foods: Foods high in fat travel slower through the intestines, resulting in more gas🌮🍕🍟🍔
👉Eating too fast
👉Gas build-up in the abdomen
👉Dysbiosis (imbalanced gut): The human gut is home to anywhere from 10-100 trillion microorganisms, and an imbalance can occur when the “good” bacteria become outnumbered by the “bad” microorganisms.

My Probiotics can help reduce bloating.🤗😍

For bloating and dysbiosis, probiotics may be your key. Probiotics, whether in supplement or food form, help to replenish the body’s friendly microorganisms.
👉Improved digestion: As a result of the increase in friendly bacteria, digestion improves. The influx of good bacteria helps to digest food left behind in the digestive track.
👉Improved metabolism: Additionally, probiotics help relieve bloating and gas by improving the metabolism.

“There are no cures for Autoimmune Diseases. Not for Asthma, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hashimoto’s, Grave’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Celiacs, Lupus, the list goes on and on...

Medications AT BEST manage the symptoms. Many don't even do that very well, and often the side effects are as bad as the actual symptoms.

Many doctors believe the root cause of these diseases to be gut health, or tied to Leaky Gut Syndrome. Essentially what happens is your colon becomes permeable (tiny holes) and you begin slowly poisoning yourself. Your body tries to fight back and begins to attack itself (autoimmunity). Then the unpredictability and possibly debilitating symptoms begin.

In some people muscles are impacted, some it will be nerves, some it will be their lungs, some people it will be their skin, some people their kidneys, or their eyes. You name it.😔

*The keys to improved health*

Plexus addresses the bacteria in the gut that's responsible for all of these health issues listed above. When the gut is healthy and balanced the body is healthy and functions best.

We never claim it to cure or heal disease, but results speak for themselves! So many people have found relief for their symptoms and have been able to reduce or altogether stop taking their medications - AND feel like themselves again!

This is my story - diagnosed with leaky gut syndrome and auto immune disease, hypothyroidism , hormonal imbalance too - medications didnt cure the problems and sometimes caused more issues.

It wasn’t until we started learning and working on healing my gut that everything changed!

No more prescription drugs!

Hormonal balance

Thyroid functioning normal

Hair growth

Weight loss

So many internal things fixed that you can’t see too -

💕Gone are the days filled with overwhelm and anxiety, fear of not knowing when another episode would hit,

💕Gone are the days of chronic exhaustion and fatigue.

💕Gone are the days waking up and hobbling to the bathroom feeling like 89 at 40!

I am not the only one either there are thousands of testimonies from others just like me that have worked on healing their gut and have been set free from their symptoms”

🌱Probio5 and BioCleanse🌱

Your gut health matters. Knowledge is power. Your gut is your second brain, and if you tend to it... your entire body WILL benefit!

🤔What makes Plexus and BioCleanse so different from other supplements?

A lot actually...
If your doesn't have the , then it is NOT the in your . Probio5 has this ingredient along with digestive and an . Probio5 (thanks to Chitosanase) specifically breaks down the layer of the cell wall, and that is what kills the yeast overgrowth in our gut!🙌

👉Plexus then works by helping flush out what ProBio5 has broken down, and provides a well- and high- environment for our cells.

Take control of your gut health. PM me.

Some wise words from NP Allie. It’s amazing what nursing school didn’t teach her!

“I’m a nurse practitioner👩🏼‍⚕️
Here’s what I didn’t learn in 9 years of nursing education:

~ 90% of your serotonin (happy hormone) is produced in your gut.

~70% of your immune function is hosted in your gut.

~ Sugar, environmental toxins, stress, antibiotics, hormonal birth control all negatively impact our gut microbiome and lead to candida overgrowth.

~Medications should not always be the first thing we are prescribed. (Yet I’m expected to overprescribe antibiotics and antidepressants DAILY)

~ Nutrition is HUGE. Most of us miss this. But we can’t even get everything we need though our diets because soil in is no longer what it used to be.

You can exercise and move your body and still be tired because blood sugar balance and inflammation are two of the BIGGEST things that many of us suffer from.

Quality supplementation and are 💯 percent needed to tackle those root issues for us to feel and function at our BEST!”

Karen posted this and I had to share! Plexus Body Cream for the win!
👇
As we sat in the sun for hours yesterday, at the Softball World Series I worried that we would look like this!! I was thinking, sure glad I packed the Body Cream!!

LOVE my Body Cream for ANY type of burn!

Plexus Body Cream should be a staple in every home. I have one in my travel bag too!

Before Joyome...Plexus Body Cream was my face cream! I've used it to calm my frizzy hair in the humidity and as a natural deodorant!

"My friend's little cousin Elsie was in the pool too long yesterday. She learned how to swim this week 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻, so she has been extra eager to keep going and going! With being in the water so much and wiping her eyes, she was unknowingly rubbing the sunscreen off and got a little toasted. 😬

Her aunt put her to bed with a layer of our Body Cream. Put her in the shower this morning - and LOOK!!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻"

Get prepared...have it on hand!!

Some interesting facts ⬇️⬇️⬇️

✨Plexus Body Cream was originally developed for radiation burns for breast cancer patients and used to be called "Breast Cream." But we had to change the name as people were finding relief with so many skin conditions!

✨Plexus Body Cream is a unique skin-renewing cream with Spirulina Algae and Activated Charcoal instead of chemicals, dyes and fragrances. The Activated Charcoal draws bacteria, poisons, chemicals, dirt and other micro-particles to the surface of skin, helping you fight numerous skin issues.

✨Charcoal is not metabolized or absorbed by the body, but it can be used to treat some poisonous bites and disinfect some wounds. (In fact, I keep a bottle of Activated Charcoal with me in case I unknowlingly ingest something I shouldn't have!)

✨Activated charcoal powder is proven to adsorb thousands of times its own mass in harmful substances.

✨Great for sunburns, scars, and stretch marks!
✨Antiaging properties make it a great occasional facial moisturizer or daily after shave cream!
✨Because it contains several essential oils, many people use the cream as a leave in conditioner that leaves their hair silky smooth!
