Wow!!! This is my heart for WHY I do this too…and Jill Materowski Werness shares it so well!
God knew before we did that we would need this…physically & financially!

“We were humming along….all seemed good. He was working for a local Chiro after selling his clinic after his cancer battle. I was running a functional health coaching business within that clinic.
Then, just like that, he was told he wasn’t needed anymore. And just like that, 2 professionals were left scratching their heads with “what’s next”?

Well, 8 months prior, a very skeptical me, was intrigued with a line of plant based supplements that I thought could help my health coaching clients. But honestly, what intrigued me more, was the business opportunity that went along with it.

I had seen a friend create a pretty great income by helping her friends get healthy. Heck: that’s what I was doing anyway. But her income was 5 times mine! And she didn’t have to leave her home, miss events with her kids, or pay rent for a brick & mortar. I felt this nudge from God and I jumped in. And Thank God I did.

That income grew and grew, and gave him time to think about next moves. He went into real estate and began flipping home. He needed something different and he loved it.

Then, a year later, the next crash came. Cluster headaches, and horrible exhaustion hit him hard. To the point where he couldn’t work. My social selling business had exploded by then. I was making more than he had made as a Chiro and with 2 kids in college, it was the blessing we needed.

The income was great. But the “treats” that came along the way, helped us build life long memories….Maui, Kona, DC, San Diego, Cancun, Orlando, 3 Cruises, NYC…all family trips because of this blessing.

God is not a God of mistakes.

He knew we needed this before we knew.

I can’t imagine what would have happened if I let pride, doubt, skepticism keep me from saying yes. The thousands of lives impacted from that yes …the health transformations I’ve gotten to be a part of, the families blessed from the income opportunity, the friendships and growth.

But it really is the smile on his face…the “thank you for saying yes…we couldn’t have done this without you”, they brings tears to my eyes the most.

So here I am, 9 years later and still so passionate about my work! But now it’s more is a mission… for all the people suffering in silence like we once were. To spread the message of hope, and come alongside other women who want more for their families too.

My proverbial “door” is always open to chat. If God is knocking on your heart too, I invite you to step in. Your life will never be the same🥰💕”

•The days of choosing between milk or bread.
•Of pulling out more hand me down clothes that didn’t really fit and trying to make them work for the boys.
•Of watching people at the grocery store buy whatever they wanted without a calculator, without coupons, without putting things back because I didn’t have enough.
•Of crying at night because I was certain we would never have a vacation to make memories with the kids.
•Of trying the part-time jobs to help make ends meet, but sacrificing our kids’ mental health & homeschooling because of it.

𝘿𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚?

All of that has changed in the last year!
🙌🏻It’s feeling healthier than I have in decades.
🙌🏻It’s being able to breathe.
🙌🏻It’s getting out from under debt.
🙌🏻It’s being able to GIVE even more.
🙌🏻It’s buying groceries and gas without worrying.

❤️It’s finally taking that family vacation you’ve always dreamed of.

❤️It’s being able to take care of all your family’s “needs” and some “wants” without stress.

🫂It’s finding a community of faith-filled believers who have become my friends and cheerleaders!

🙏🏻It’s the transformation I have experienced in myself. Confidence, mindsets, spiritual growth, purpose.

💯It’s having the option to NOT work for someone else and getting time freedom in addition to financial flexibility!

Over our 25 years of marriage, we have dreamed of being able to give back abundantly and help others like we were being helped.

It all started with me just trying to keep paying for the supplements that were healing my body. And now, a simple leap of faith and has turned into blessings beyond my wildest dreams.

Nothing changes if nothing changes. Check out this graphic and tell me what you’d do with this extra cash this month!?

Let’s chat and I can tell you WHY this month we can make this happen for YOU!!!

Today I celebrate 50 pounds of weight loss!! 🙌🏻🥹

💴 Have you ever used google to search for ways to make money from home? I used to!

🙏🏼 I used to pray daily (sometimes more than daily) for an answer to stop the paycheck to paycheck living…to be able to pay off debt…to not have to scrape together loose change for milk… and have a hope of saving up to do ANYTHING extra. It felt heavy. It felt hopeless.

😞 My family STRUGGLED as my husband worked a job where he was gone more than home… and our mental health and marriage suffered from it.

💡 I have tried to work part-time jobs dozens of times to somehow help provide this and a way to stay home and homeschool my babies…but none of them paid enough to make it worth it. And I was pulling my hair out trying to do all the things and go to work. 😞

🫂 I prayed for a community of Godly women who consistently communicate and uplift one another. For deep, meaningful friendships.

🙏🏻 I prayed for a way that would be something BETTER, be service focused, and allow me to help other women, and still be authentically…. ME!

🤲 And God gave me EXACTLY what I asked for. He gave it willingly- and He gave it patiently (because I ignored the answer at first lol), and He gave it gladly.

🤲 He gave it in spite of my fears and my limiting beliefs and my desperate need of spiritual and personal growth.

I now get to serve others and be a part of transforming lives! I now get to work on my spiritual walk DAILY as a part of my personal growth process to become even better at what I do! I get to teach people to dream again- about feeling better in their bodies and about freedom.

🤔 If you don’t belive that what I do “works” google “gut health” or “Candida” or “leaky gut syndrome”. The root of almost anything going wrong health wise- is blood sugar imbalance, inflammation, and gut health - these are the MAIN areas we target in our products. It’s not going anywhere and we need to boldly educate others on natural alternatives.

🙌🏻 If you’ve been praying, I urge you to reach out and ask me all of your questions. The only thing standing between you and the life of your dreams…. Is you!

I just talked to a friend who told me about the tragic death of her young niece. This 20-something young mother of two went to the ER with a headache. She never left. She had undiagnosed diabetes and died from the effects of it on her organs, specifically causing her to become brain dead.

According to the World Health Organization, because of diabetes, someone:
• dies every 8 seconds
• suffers a heart attack every 5 minutes
• loses a limb every 30 seconds
• has prediabetes (one in every 3 adults)

One of the root causes of my health issues was 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. Did you know that 88% of Americans have some level of insulin resistance?? Why does it matter?

• Insulin creates a domino effect. It drives all those excess calories into fat cells that produce messengers that increase 𝙃𝙐𝙉𝙂𝙀𝙍, 𝙎𝙇𝙊𝙒 𝙈𝙀𝙏𝘼𝘽𝙊𝙇𝙄𝙎𝙈, 𝙋𝙍𝙀𝙑𝙀𝙉𝙏 𝙁𝘼𝙏 𝘽𝙐𝙍𝙉𝙄𝙉𝙂, and spike 𝙄𝙉𝙁𝙇𝘼𝙈𝙈𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉. ⁣
⁣
• In women, too much insulin 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗚𝗘𝗡 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗧𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗘. The result is something misleadingly called 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝘆𝗰𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗢𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲 (𝗣𝗖𝗢𝗦). It is not an ovarian problem; it is a dietary problem. The extra testosterone in women causes 𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀, 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿, 𝗮𝗰𝗻𝗲, and 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. ⁣
⁣
• In men the testosterone gets converted to estrogen, which is why men with big bellies often have 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗯𝘀, 𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲, 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, and 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿 on their bodies. In other words, they become more like women. ⁣
⁣
• The same high sugar and starch diet also spikes the hormone 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗹. When you eat a sugar laden diet, your body literally perceives it as a stress, just like when a tiger chases you. Adrenaline and cortisol increase, worsening insulin resistance and 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 for sugar and starch. ⁣
⁣
• Our hormones are highly influenced by what we eat. 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘽𝙄𝙂𝙂𝙀𝙎𝙏 𝙁𝘼𝘾𝙏𝙊𝙍 𝙄𝙈𝙋𝘼𝘾𝙏𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙃𝙀𝘼𝙇𝙏𝙃 𝙄𝙎 𝙄𝙉𝙎𝙐𝙇𝙄𝙉. The good news is that reversing insulin resistance starts at home, with your next bite!⁣ Diet plays a key roll.
