Since last October, our family has been on an adventure. We sold our home in two months (to a cash buyer) and moved to Wisconsin to build a new home near our extended family. All this time we’ve never waivered from our Isagenix products. In fact our whole family relies on Isagenix to help us with our health more than ever! Time top share!
Great news! Story posted by Isagenix regarding the presence in milk products of the toxic substance melamine:
News of China’s melamine-tainted milk scandal has led to customer concerns regarding the quality of dairy ingredients in manufactured food products. Please be assured that Isagenix® does not source any milk products or milk-derived ingredients for any of our products, in any market, from China.
Melamine is a toxic industrial chemical that has been used illegally to give the appearance of higher protein content in a product. It has been found in milk, candies, cakes and various other products produced in China.
We are saddened to hear of the melamine contamination of infant formula, which is responsible for more than 54,000 children having to seek medical treatment, the hospitalization of more than 12,900, and the deaths of four infants. In response, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an alert for consumers to beware of certain milk products or milk-derived ingredients originating from China including whey protein.
We have also received absolute assurance of safety from our New Zealand dairy supplier who provides the whey protein used in Isagenix products. The dairy is sourced from farmers who take enormous pride in the quality of their product and have highest ethical standards.
When choosing nutritional products, it’s important to rely on a name that you and your family can trust. Isagenix maintains a “no-compromise” quality policy ensuring the integrity of all individual ingredients as well as finished products.
Sincerely,
Bill Wheeler, Ph.D., ACSM

A story found on CNNs web site saying the The Environmental Protection Agency has decided there’s no need to rid drinking water of a toxic rocket fuel ingredient that has fouled public water supplies around the country. That’s scary.
This underscores again why people need a safe and health vehicle for cleansing their bodies of this stuff that continues to find it’s way into our food and water.
Please check out this information regarding the Isagenix system. You might also want to be on this week’s live conference call that speaks to the issue of healthy cleansing. The conference call can be reached Thursday, September 25 @ 9 p.m. Eastern 1-712-338-8000, Code 6107#
I just love it when Isagenix updates it’s formulas. Recently, it updated it’s awesome IsaFruits blend. We’ve always loved it, as it quickly became a “must have” in the our home.
The last version was heavy on the watermelon flavor. Like I said, we loved it.
The new version, just out last week, is more cherry-leaning. Mixed with a half shake with a scoop of vanilla IsaLean shake mix and lots of crushed ice, it becomes … cherry vanilla ICE CREAM!
As part of the reformulation of IsaFruits, they added a greater ability to blend with whatever it’s mixed with. Smooth!
When were you able to find something so delicious and yet filled with such nutritious ingredients! Check them out here.

So why is it’s so easy to get distracted? What have you got to do today? Yes, I know. When I get beyond 4 or 5 things that distract me, I don’t even remember what I was working on at the beginning of my “focus chain.” Does that happen to you? Stay effective? How?
One of my favorite podcasts illustrates the phenomenon of what we must do to stay focused and stay effective in what we do. David Lee Roth used to do a regular radio show from New York that was well, off the wall most of the time. But he hit pay dirt with his evaluation during one show of the newest Rolling Stones album. Now I’m guessing the Rolling Stones don’t have much of a cash flow problem. But as David tells us, they DO have a distraction problem. Check it out here (the whole cut is 20 minutes or so):
It’s been absolutely amazing to me to find out how much nutrition contributes to how I can deal with this kind of stress. How I relate to my work. How I relate to my family. How I relate to life.
Before I found Isagenix products, I was overweight at least 40 pounds and being evaluated by my doctor for sleep apnea. My mega-snoring went away after the first 10 pounds melted off. I’ve been sleeping soundly since. I went on to lose over 60 pounds.
I saw this reported on the Today show this morning. If you’ve heard of Melody Peterson’s book “Our Daily Meds“, then you may be thinking that the pharma marketers are going after a new market for statins by targeting children. Could be, I guess.
Years ago, my doctor prescribed such medicine in an attempt to lower my cholesterol to an acceptable level. It didn’t work because I had such bad side effects (sharp pains in my legs) from it. Four months into our Isagenix program, my current doctor checked my cholesterol and found a drop of 80 points! Hmm, traditional medicine versus superfood nutrition. Which one to choose?
What a great blessing Isagenix is. A true American success story. May your independence day include independence from poor health with an Isagenix program.
In our Indiana neighborhood, we’re hearing about the expansion of dunkin donuts stores. Just out of curiosity, I checked their site and the ingredients in their cake and glazed donuts. One donut has: calories: 280, sodium: 260mg, total carbs: 26g., enriched bleached flour, and oh yeah, sodium silicoaluminate (say that 10 times real fast), and everyone’s favorite ingredient: Phospholipase. Loaded with palm oil, partially hydrogenated soyben and cottenseed oil, it’s truly, as Michael Pollan calls it, a “food product” not food at all. I’m doubting that having JUST ONE would be anywhere nutritionally satisfying for anyone, and there’s the problem. Undoubtedly, the more anyone would eat, the closer their bodies would near their pre-diabetic state. The “black hole” of nutrition knocking at our front door again, right? Marketing wins again over nutrition?
So, and unfortunately, stories in the local media abound with teenagers staying up all night anticipating the open doors of the local donut shop, and then, after imbibing this heavily marketed food product, shuffle off to work at Best Buy in a diabetic coma. Stories of fathers, taking their young children to the store and highlighting how the colored sprinkles reflect in their shiny eyes.
Since I’m six weeks out from stopping all prescription drugs prescribed for my allergies, I’m still in awe of how good I feel. I got through the springtime in Indiana with no adverse effects from the pollens and mold in the atmosphere.
You have to understand, I’ve been diagnosed as having serious allergies most of my adult life. Trees, pollen, grasses, mold, etc. Over the long term, the only thing that would help me sleep at night was my multiple med concoction along with a nasal steroid (so I could breathe).
Seems the side effects of the meds I was on were as bad as what they were prescribed to counteract. Hmmm.
Now? I toss a spray or two of Xlear spray (a natural xylitol saline spray) in my sinuses before bed each night and I sleep like a baby. Occasionally, I’ll rinse my sinuses with my Grossan Hydro-whatever it’s called. Of course most of the credit goes to the lifestyle I can follow now by using the Isagenix system. Check just SOME of the ingredients in the products in my previous post! Superfoods to the rescue! I’m starting out the week with a big WOW!
I’m often asked what Anne and I actually do to enjoy our new found health. As if it’s difficult or time consuming. Every morning shortly after I wake, I have a singular piece of IsaDelight. A half an hour or so later, I have 8 ounces of Want More Energy ( A superior electrolyte drink) to put my system in positive PH balance. At the same time, I have an ounce of Ionix Supreme drink. A half hour later, I mix a chocolate IsaLean Shake mixed with lots of ice (for thickness!) and a scoop of Isagenix Greens. I have an organic apple mid-morning. Lunch is a 400-600 calorie meal. Occasionally, in the late afternoon, I’ll have a half shake mixed with IsaFruits. Then, for dinner, another 400-600 calorie dinner. All day I try and get as much filtered water into my system as I can. When I was on the 30-day program, I substituted the evening meal with another IsaLean Shake, so 2 meal repacement shakes each day. I’d forgotten how much I like chocolate shakes!
Twice a month I still begin the day the same way, but instead of shakes and the regular meals, I have a 1/2 cup of Cleanse For Life liquid at breakfast (7am) and then at 11am, 3pm, and 7pm. These are called “cleanse days”. There are all kinds of recommended snacks to consume on a cleanse day along with the cleanse liquid. One would be IsaDelight - which tastes to me like the most decadent dark chocolate I’ve ever tasted. It “feels” good too!
Is this sounding difficult? Or time consuming? I didn’t think so.
What’s YOUR impression of the simplicity of this regimen?
In December 2006, if you’d have asked me how many prescription medicines our family was taking, I’d be hard pressed to answer simply because there were so many medicines that had been prescribed. For me alone, I was getting weekly allergy shots in both arms for a laundry list of things I tested positive for; pollens, grass, molds, etc. I was on at least four antihistamines, decongestants, nasal steroid sprays, etc. My kids were both on similar medications to “control” their allergies, etc., as was my sweetheart, Anne.
Then, things started to change for the better. Not so much attributable to the prescribed medications. We began interacting with superfoods, and employing healthy cleansing in our diets.
Ask me how many prescription medicines I’m taking now, and it’s a big goose egg. None. It hasn’t been as tough to get there as I had expected, and I’m so grateful for it.
Is this a possibility for you? Can you achieve a similar result? What’s YOUR feeling on that? Please share.
Just a quick update to report - yes, it’s possible - more good Isagenix news.
My kids just finished their school year (4th grade and 6th grade). This is the very first year they got straight “A” grades in all three grading periods. They started having Isalean shakes, IsaFruits, IsaKids vitamins, Isalean bars and slim cakes soon after we began the program at the end of last school year. Their ability to focus has been duly noted by almost all their teachers. We are so proud, but realize that having Isagenix products has helped in so many ways. Our gratitude just flows and flows.
Yesterday, I signed my new AXA policy that I qualified for based on my elevated health level - due in large part to Isagenix again. Seems I have lower cholesterol levels than I did when I enlisted in the Air Force in 1973! Wow! Talk about results!
Isagenix Isalean shakes are awesome tasting, superfood-enriched shakes that help enable the loss of fat weight. But how do they compare with the other protein shakes out there? Hear Susan Sly on a recent Isagenix conference call in this audio clip:
Go on to compare the superfoods in Isagenix dollar for dollar with food you can purchase in your supermarket:??
Our first canister of Isagenix Greens! arrived yesterday. It includes so many new ingredients over the last formulation (then called Healthy Greens), I thought I’d list them here. In addition to a wide range of superfoods, like spirulina, chlorella, shiitake, and cordyceps, Isagenix Greens! now contains: Cinnamon, Chia seed, barley juice, parsley, Vitamin E Succinate, Chlorophyl, Inulin, Brussel Sprouts, Broccoli, Carrots, Kale, Turnips, Tomato powder, Bamboo, Pineapple Juice powder, & Eleuthero root. The very first time Anne and I tried it yesterday, we felt the difference. What does that mean? We felt great! I’ll have to make this a full Product Spotlight ASAP. Stay tuned. Go get yours now. Everyone should take this stuff! Hear Isagenix Formulator John Anderson answer the question “Who needs Isagenix Greens?”

My post from last July seems now to have more “weight” (ha ha) than previously thought. I want to make one thing clear right now. No matter what level you’re into Isagenix products (and you breathe air), you’ll have great results. Having said that, if you want “over-the-top” results that your friends and loved ones not only notice but “freak out” over, do a quick analysis of the type of person you are. My previous post here. This is a VERY cool conceptual thing. The studies referred to people who would do better at dieting and achieving results (in our discussion, we’ll use the term “dieting” loosely because they didn’t include “healthy cleansing” in the studies - pity):
These people are controlled, methodical, disciplined sticklers for structure and routine. Punctual and neat, they always have a plan, timetable and calendar with appointments penciled in.
Is that you? If so, YOU can achieve “off-the-chart” results with an Isagenix system as a mainstay in your efforts. Go get it! Start here with this 9 minute online video. Good things await you.

I’ve never encountered such a unique product! The first time I tried a piece of IsaDelight, I was struck with how good it tastes. This is NOT a kind of chocolate that you bite into. It needs to melt in your mouth for maximum fun. This is not candy. It does so much more. The world’s first super-chocolate. Check it out here.

Are you impressed (or shocked) when a company actually DEMONSTRATES that they care about you? I noticed something yesterday when I called Isagenix customer service to ask a question. Isagenix customer service answers each call by a warm, informative person. They’re all in the U.S. too! So to celebrate that fact, I’m answering my phone personally to anyone that wants to ask me a question about Isagenix, how we achieved what we’ve done with the products, or just to chat! My customer service lines are open from 5:30am - 8:00pm Central time. So feel free to call and chat. Am I kidding? Have I lost my noodle? No, just showing I care about the only thing that really matters - your concerns. If you get my voice mail (and I’m betting you don’t) leave a message and I’ll call you back within minutes. The number is 414-581-7511. After all, I can only take one call at a time.
