Why US Ambassadors Are Leaving Surfing To Other Options

I don't like to talk bad about companies, especially when I totally adore their products. You'll notice, however that my business tabs have a new (well they are four years old) company listed, and another that is gone away. This "missing" company has really handled a lot of things wrong that I just honestly have tried to live with, but don't think that I can. The last straw outside of the fact that ambassadors that have 30,000 - 60,000 (and being stuck at 60,000 if you weren't Pearl) vacation points have all felt totally screwed ... not only we seemingly had points go missing, emails not returned as well, but we were just told that in order to qualify for these said, "vacation points" you have to be actively recruiting... isn't there something about MLM's and having to sell product at least 70% of the time??

So what about selling the product?

We've lost our ability to retail products in an easy manner, not that we actually made much money on retailing. People do not want to "enroll" to buy a product. Especially not one that for the most part is completely overpriced. But what if you are ordering and on autoship... well as a wholesaler you've lost your wholesale account. If you want the discount you must become an ambassador. And the autoship function seems to be a little glitchy. I personally had my order set for the 25th, but it processed five days early. I have now cancelled my autoshipment.

I also have watched my commission dive over the last few weeks... and no one cancelled their orders. Even this week it started at $68, and ended at $11... it should have gone up, not down. They just moved into the new compensation plan is the only explanation... which personally isn't great. The old plan rocks, but I guess the reason they had to "merge" in the first place was because perhaps (just what I've heard so it's only my opinion)  they couldn't afford the old plan.

So where do you go from here when the company you LOVED seems to be gone?

I joined a new company, several months after as I was starting to hear rumors. They are in global markets, and their products are amazing. Vegan shake... and  undenatured whey for my husband. And you remember the 2MM gel? (2 Minute Miracle Gel)

What's the low down?

So if you are sick of surfing with the sharks, I would recommend you take a look at some other companies out there... but always stay to true to what brought you to the OA Lifestyle to being with, and that is the quality of product and the integrity of your upline... just $20 to find out if it's right for you.

All Muscles Are Not Built Alike

Workout complete!! Upper bodyworkout... and I am BEAT!! So that means recovery. Not all recovery methods are meant for your every day workout. The question is are you building muscles today or not? 

The Benefits of Undenatured Whey

There was some published research done by by L. Bucci PHD in using undenatured whey in rehab sports medicine. The results were published in Nutrition Applied to Injury Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine, and it said, "a protein deficiency during injury delays all aspects of healing, including a lengthening of the inflammatory phase. It's critical that protein and nutrient supplementation occor as soon as possible after damage to connective tissue to prevent the body from attaining generalized lysis (breakdown) stage." 
. 
To protect against stress, improve morning alertness, mood and sleep have some whey in the evening before bed. Those BCAA's that you get in the undenatured whey are going to support that lean muscle support, and with the undenatured, bioactive whey you are preserving more immune supporting components of raw, organic, hormone-free whey. Isn't that what you want?

Undenatured Whey Super Nutrition

Undenatured Whey, it really is impressive stuff because it really does give us the nutrients that your body needs and craves. I watched this video of this little old man and the improvement of his eyesight and was inspired, but it's really something more. I am passionate about this superfood because of the impact of all of these diseases I know this product can help with.

Heat-denatured whey can still cause allergies in some people, which is why people often think they can't use whey proteins. Whey protein contains the amino acid cysteine, which can be used to make glutathione, the mother of antioxidants. Undenatured whey protein can increase cellular glutathione levels. Glutathione is an antioxidant that defends the body against free radical damage and some toxins, and studies in animals have suggested that milk proteins might reduce the risk of cancer.

Undenatured Whey and Ginseng are a powerful combination

Aflatoxin, an extremely potent carcinogen and major cause of mitochondria damage (thereby having the potential to negatively affect all bodily processes including skeletal muscles), has been shown to be inhibited by undenatured whey protein and a combination of herbal extracts... think the power of the nature with OnlyProtien and Meta-Therm!

I read a study where participants were given a green coffee bean extract supplement that also contains fiber, green tea and ingredients to reduce stress/cortisol levels in between meals. In 90 days the average weight loss was 19 pounds. Completely amazing because some participants were able to significantly decrease their coffee and soda intake and some completely eliminated their cravings for soda and coffee despite they were getting caffeine daily. The combination of these two items are really going to change your health, and do not contain a bunch of ingredients that you can't read, or wouldn't ingest.

SO what are aflatoxins?

Aflatoxins are cancer-causing toxins (or poisons) found in molds that contaminate corn, rice, soybeans, and different nuts. Have you read a label lately? You'll find at least one of those in just about everything on the market. In animals it can cause liver damage, decreased milk and egg production. Exposure is difficult to avoid because most fungal growth in foods is not easy to prevent. So you may have heard me talk about fatty liver before (or NASH) and predominance of women, diabetes, obesity related to it.

Give a month of this combination a try and see how you feel.

Watching the Jeunesse Global Journey Through My Business

Always nice to see that my business was growing while I was playing on the beaches in California with my family. I also loved that even though I indulged a little bit, I feel like I am not off track with my nutrition because I have these amazing shakes to drink.

This is a journey my friends. There is no instant gratification in health, and change takes time, and consistency as we change our lifestyles. That doesn't mean you won't see some changes in measurements and weight initially, or feel some changes in inflammation and energy...

What it means is that you have to stick with healthy changes rather than jumping from one "fad" to the next. Only being consistent in using healthy supplements and being consistent in the other healthy chooses in life (exercise, nutrition) will you see real changes and long term changes. And that is what makes this all so important to me, the long term changes I am going to see for my health

These products will take you on an Global Journey of health

There was a study done on the long term use of undenatured whey protein isolates. Long and persistent uncontrolled diabetes tends to degenerate the immune system and leads to an increased incidence of infection. And most of us in our society are on the borderline of type two, or as Dr. Hyman says we have "diabesity". One in two Americans is suffering from diabesity, and most of them don’t even know it. Why? Because most doctors are not trained to treat the single biggest chronic disease in America. That's right... our doctors and chiropractors. A chiropractor goes through Nutrition/dietetics for 90 hours during the total of almost 4800 hours of training... That's not even 2% of their training time. Nurses go through one 3 credit out class on nutrition. Most MD's don't even go through the recommended 25 hours of nutritional training. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/16/health/16chen.html?_r=0

On the other hand we are so lucky that our doctors are so amazing!! They get nutrition in a big way! That's why I was so happy that they got it with their fitness products why undenatured whey is so important.

In fact, whey proteins (WPs) enhance immunity during early life (healthy for your kids!) and have a protective role in some immune disorders. In this study, the effects of the whey protein was done on the chemotaxis of B and T cells(T cells are what is so super important when dealing with cancer treatments and immune levels) to CXCL12 and CCL21 in diabetic mice were investigated.  They concluded that this whey protein would be a promising drug candidate for immunomodulation. What is that? Immunotherapy is a medical term defined as the "treatment of disease by inducing, enhancing, or suppressing an immune response". Do you want to use something health to work with your immune system?

Now with weight loss... A recent study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that the long-term consumption of this amazingly healthy whey protein was associated with lower body weight and lower body fat mass in overweight and obese adults.

The study subjects consumed 56 grams of either whey or soy protein daily, or an equal amount of calories as carbohydrates.  The participants otherwise consumed their normal diets.  After just 23 weeks of supplementation, the fat mass of those consuming whey protein was 2.3 kilograms (just over 5 pounds) less than those consuming an equal amount of calories as carbohydrates.

Though caloric restriction can facilitate weight loss in the short-term, you have to remember that all of these longer-term studies have shown calorie-restricted diets to be ineffective for sustained weight loss. You can't expect to keep the weight off when you go back to the same old same old way of eating. It’s likely that calorie-restricted diets trigger numerous appetite-promoting chemical signals to compensate for perceived starvation. I listened to an amazing TED talk about the neurons that come from our "immune system" which is our digestive system. These sustained caloric restriction diets are most likely going to cause intense food cravings, and foster the accumulation of body fat when and if caloric consumption is increased.  This has been show by numerous studies, that those that repeatedly cycle on and off of calorie-restricted diets often end up heavier than when their dieting endeavors began. Have you seen this before?

Sustained weight loss, therefore, will likely require the use of foods and supplements that I've talked about, and eating a nutrient-rich diet to elicit the chemical signaling characteristic of a fed state. You need to over power the brain wanting to overeat, but still give your body it's required nutrition.  When these requirements are met, the metabolism is more likely to give you that fat loss even without all of the calorie counting that most of us do these days. That is what these products are going to do for you. It's looking at the long term picture my friends, and not just the quick fix that we often are searching for in our society. As research on undenatured whey protein continues, it appears that its benefits are far greater than many people currently imagine. What a journey... are you coming along?

The benefits of the JM Ocean Avenue Shakes

So I am loving the more I learn about the ingredients in the products, especially because for a long time I was completely vegan, so it's hard to cross the line into the "forbidden zone" when you've been clean and green for so long. But the more research I do the more I actually am learning about healthy tips for the vegan friends in my life.

Like they did this test on soybeans vs spirulina to see how it works on insulin resistance. As you know, that's the key to so many of these diseases like PCOS, diabetes, etc.

Each of the participants received 19 g of supplementation daily. The follow up rate was 65% vs. 100% for spirulina and soybean groups, respectively, and both groups were comparable at baseline. After eight weeks, insulin sensitivity (IS) increased by 224.7% vs. 60% in the spirulina and soybean groups respectively (p < 0.001). One hundred per cent vs. 69% of subjects on spirulina versus soybean, respectively, improved their IS (p = 0.049) with a 1.45 (1.05–2.02) chance of improving insulin sensitivity on spirulina.

So what does all of that tech speak mean? This pilot study suggests that insulin sensitivity improves more when spirulina rather than soybean is used as a nutritional supplement. {Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01141777}. So if you want to do a vegan protein supplement, something like Shakeology is going to be the better bet, being soy-free and also offering up spirulina. But again, WheySmart (or WAVSmart as it was renamed) has spirulina in it, and I love that.

Now I want to share an amazing video from TEDx where they used a prescription Undenatured Whey, but our whey is just as powerful and healthy to take as the prescription. In fact WheyBeyond is so potent it regenerates your cells, and you'll hear below more about how Dan Linseman, a researcher with the Eleanor Roosevelt Institute, came to realize the potent power of undenatured whey. 

Seminar on Lou Gehrig's Disease, ALS and undenatured whey

Dan Linseman, the biomedical research organization at the University of Denver, is a determined warrior who's been looking for more effective ways to combat the disease for four years.

This spring it appears he may have wounded his enemy. His weapon was a whey protein supplement that seems to delay the onset of ALS in lab mice.
