For those who know me, I have always been a very positive and spirited person. Both pregnancies I practiced yoga, meditation, and was still active because I was always in love with healing my body in every aspect imaginable. There was a time that things changed. After our 2nd child was born, I was exhausted, I lacked energy, and felt imbalanced, I lost control of myself. Although, I felt so grateful to be blessed with creating another beautiful being, I gave ALL my attention to my children that I lost my purpose and desire to do anything for myself. Looking back, it was no doubt stress that was causing this pain from within. We were struggling to keep our heads above water financially, my husband had to get a 2nd job to keep us afloat. He would go from work to work (sunrise to sunset) and even work weekends, landscaping for extra cash. We barely saw each other and (for anyone that stays at home I’m sure you can relate) my days were very long, mentally, physically, and emotionally draining. I relied on coffee to bring me up ("No one talk to Mommy until she has her Joe") and then a glass of wine to bring me down at night to unwind. I was definitely emotionally eating (chocolate chip cookies were my weakness) to fill the void. I so desperately wanted to regain my over all health back to have more energy, shake the extra baby weight, and find strength for my children... to be the amazing mom I knew I could be. It was then that I was introduced to nutritional cleansing.
For my 30th birthday (2 years ago in March), I gave myself the gift of optimal health. I began with the modified nursing program, I was amazed that what took me 6 months to get back into shape with my first child: counting calories and a lot of hard work at the gym…. only took me less than 2 short months to lose the rest of my baby weight with my second child!!!! That's a whopping 16lbs! I was excited to fit into my “skinny” clothes again but I have to admit that the weight loss was truly an added bonus. My light was so much brighter, I was jumping out of bed every morning with a new sense of confidence, I re-gained my energy and motivation back to get myself back in the gym, and I was able to quiet my mind when it was time for me to sit in my “sacred space” (a corner in my bedroom which I am forever grateful for) in meditation. This truly got me through one of the toughest years, regaining control and seeing that there is a better way.People started to take notice of my results and wanted to join in on the fun! It became a MASSIVE ripple effect and I began helping others reach their own personal goals.
This is when a lightbulb went off in my head! >>WHAT EXCITES ME: The integrity of this company that I refer to so many blesses their consumers with the opportunity for financial freedom, instead of paying for costly advertising or endorsing big names. They want real people with real experiences spreading the word of their vision.
>>WHAT EXCITES ME: The integrity of this company that I refer to, blesses their consumers with the opportunity for financial freedom, instead of paying for costly advertising or endorsing big names. They want real people with real experiences spreading the word of their vision. As I dove more into researching and understanding the love and passion that went into each decisive step in creating these incredible products..IT BLOWS MY MIND and simply put... extraordinary. I have to admit that I was very skeptical at first, even though I would grab a shake at the gym (now knowing that this was not the healthiest option) after a workout (and pay twice as much!) not realizing the harm I could be doing by not choosing the highest quality product for recovery and nourishment. It gives me such relief to know that the nutrients my family and I are putting into our bodies are from clean, pure, and *UNDENATURED* ingredients. This is so important because the shakes out there are heavily polluted with all sorts of junk. What really made this protein shake undeniably incredible was even the tiny little details of care and attention, the undenatured whey is from happy cows in New Zealand, meaning that the quality of this whey is kept as close to Nature as possible without any hormones, antibiotics, additives, and artificial colors/flavors. Here is a short video demonstrating the thought and focus put into developing these no compromise products.

I am feeling incredible in my “vessel”, my body, the one and only gift that I am blessed with. I have the energy to take my performance to the next level, completing my first Spartan Super Race this year! But even better, being a walking testimonial of this new lifestyle has allowed for me to be able to help more and more people transform their lives (putting my Psych degree to good use!) while being able to stay at home with my girls (FOREVER!). I am filled with gratitude when I receive messages that someone is feeling alive again and comfortable in their own “vessel” too!. This opportunity not only allows for me to be my own boss, create my own schedule, and create my dream …It gives me the freedom to pursue my artistic endeavors, continue helping more to share the beautiful practice of Yoga (finishing up my 200RYT Certification), AND help to support my family which is absolutely immeasurable! I am proud to say the weight has been lifted (pun intended). The financial stress is no longer, I was able to relieve my husband from his 2nd job to be home with his family more often, regain my mind.body.soul, and for us to live our lives passionately. I feel like I am in complete control of designing my own freedom and I feel so strongly that this is such a unique gift that I want to share with the World!!!! All it takes is a bit of hope, faith, and belief to achieve what some would say is impossible.

I’m possible. Change your thinking, Change your Life.”

Thousands of people have asked John where the name Isagenix came from;
While in a restaurant one day, John was brainstorming names for future use.
(A name that would be used for the most special products).
John Anderson, formulator, was divinely inspired when the name “Isagenix” came to him. It had meaning, substance and a special feeling to it! John was thinking of the body, mussel tissue, healthy cell reproduction, lack of nutrition in todays foods,
supplementation, and quickly, Isagenix was written on a napkin.
Even today, John has not found all of the meanings of this powerful word, there are so many.
Here are the Sanskrit meanings of the word Isagenix I found;
isagenix ईशप्रतिभाशालिन्
“Isa”, ईश
Sanskrit word iiza ईश,
Possessing Knowledge, powerful, Masterful,
“Genix” प्रतिभाशालिन्
Sanskrit word geni pratibhaazaalin
Genius, tie, intelligent, ward off, surety, answer, a match for, idea, understanding, creativity,
Sanskrit word
{ prati- bhaaS }
Answer
genix |ˈjēnyəs|
noun ( pl. geniuses )
1 exceptional intellectual or creative power or other natural ability : she was a teacher of genius | Gardner had a real genius for tapping wealth.
2 a person who is exceptionally intelligent or creative, either generally or in some particular respect : one of the great musical geniuses of the 20th century.
3 ( pl. genii |ˈjēnēˌī|) (in some mythologies) a guardian spirit associated with a person, place, or institution.
• a person regarded as exerting a powerful influence over another for good:
4 ( pl. genii ) the prevalent character or spirit of something such as a nation or age : Boucher’s paintings did not suit the austere genius of neoclassicism.
ORIGIN late Middle English : from Latin, ‘attendant spirit present from one’s birth, innate ability or inclination,’ from the root of gignere ‘beget.’ The original sense [tutelary spirit attendant on a person] gave rise to a sense [a person’s characteristic disposition] (late 16th cent.), which led to a sense [a person’s natural ability,] and finally [exceptional natural ability] (mid 17th cent.).
Sanskrit word
आन्दुवंशिकी
aanduvaMzikii
Healthy cell reproduction,
Genetics

the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.

Meaning of Isagenix in the Sanskrit is only a few of the many important definitions inspiring this great name and company!
Tony Escobar writes;
ISAGENIX;
ISA MEANS DIVINE INSPIRATION OR DIETY. GENIX MEANS SYSTEM. ISAGENIX IS A SYSTEM THAT IS DIVINELY INSPIRED
I am a firm believer in the “80-20 RULE”: 80% of your life you should live healthy and clean, take care of your body <your vessel>, it is so precious to you...the other 20% you can live your life and enjoy your guilty pleasures, wine + chocolate will not just disappear and it’s ok to indulge. I call these days my “fun day” and I treat myself once a week on my maintenance program.

This was my fortune my daughter picked out for me as I was just talking to my husband about how I am going to help people fulfill their dreams <goosebumps>
It’s important for our bodies to set aside some time to do a little spring clean(s)ing. We surround ourselves with pesticides, unpure air, radiation, bacteria’s, germs, you name it and we are covered in toxins! What better way to treat our bodies with cell renewal and rejuvenation by giving it a little “Spring Cleansing” right before summer?
“Spring cleansing” means detoxifying your body, says Linda Page, ND, PhD, a naturopathic doctor, lecturer, and author of the book Detoxification.
It's a way to recharge, rejuvenate, and renew, says Page. "Anybody can benefit from a cleansing. The body is coming out of what might be called hibernation. It's a way you can jump-start your body for a more active life, a healthier life."
Your body stores fat to protect from impurities. When impurities are released, the body sheds the fat that is stored along with it. You therefore have better overall health with less fat and more lean muscle!
Luckily, I have found an amazing Nutritional Cleansing Program that you don’t have to deplete your body of the essential calories and slowly over 30 days you can detoxify, cleanse, and regenerate your new healthy cells with a mixture of life’s greatest shakes packed with vitamins and minerals along side real whole foods!
““It was extraordinary, a mystical experience. I felt like I’d figured out why Jesus and Plato and Socrates and Gandhi did it — the clarity of thought, the peacefulness.””
“I think it’s time for a detox!” said over a million people around the world just yesterday. How many Facebook posts have you read about the latest liver detox, elimination diet, fat flush, or colon cleanse?
