Chronic Fatigue

Raynauds Syndrome
A.D.D
Depression
Adult Acne
Frequent infections

Unhealthy hair and nails
Low energy levels

Constant ovarian cysts
This was all ME, personally, BEFORE Plexus.
For SEVERAL years, I've struggled on and off with depression, A.D.D, bad health issues, etc. This time last year.. My health was seriously declining. It took everything I had just to get out of bed and go to work so I could provide for my kids. Day in and day out... I was fake smiles and putting on a brave face for everyone around me.. But on the inside, I was miserable. My stomach always hurt.. I was constantly nauseated and throwing up. I started loosing weight because I could barely eat from feeling sick. I had DAILY headaches, body aches and ALWAYS felt tired. On my off days from work, I would just fall apart and not even be able to get out of bed. I started failing my kids.. Bc I couldn't get the energy or feel well enough to play with them or get ready and take them places. If it wasn't for my fiancé nick and my family pushing me to get out of bed and get myself together.. I wouldn't be here now. My mom introduced me to plexus in December of 2014. One day after work, I stopped by her house and looked like I could just fall over in the driveway and not move, because I felt so rough. She gave me three plexus pink drinks for three days worth. Now, when I first heard about plexus and my mom wouldn't shut up about it 24/7... My first thought was "yea right.. Nothing can help me." Truthfully... I was the biggest skeptic. Here I am today with plexus and my life has literally done a 180. I feel so good.. I no longer throw up or have the horrible and intense body pains. I can eat three full meals a day and not get sick or nauseated. I only get dull head aches (which are due to screaming kids lol). I have had so much fun with my kids and going and exploring new places and adventures with them! Brody no longer looks at me with sadness and says "mommy, why are you always sick?" Or "mommy why can't we go somewhere fun anymore?". My kids got their mommy back and I now hear their giggles and laughter from having fun again. My anxiety levels have drastically decreased and my panic attacks are completely gone!! My skin color (which used to be constantly purple due to raynaulds) is now a normal radiant color. My face, constantly breaking out before... SO clear and pimple free! I can wake up in the mornings and not suffer from the intense pain all over my body.. and ive only had one episode of an ovarian cyst in 7 months!!! that right there, is HUGE for me.. considering I used to get them at LEAST once a month.
Plexus has not only changed my life, but helped me get healthy again and wake up every day with a smile on my face that isn't forced or fake.
Plexus doesn't claim to cure any of our problems... but I can honestly say, Plexus saved my life. and not only that... but is has NOW given me the financial freedom to be a work from home mom and enjoy life!!

*Lauren takes Slim, Biocleanse, Probio5, and Xfactor
**She also noted in the comments that she takes the Slim after breakfast versus before!

Blood Sugar

The big question you are probably asking yourself is why. Why do I need to worry about balancing my blood sugars? Why does it really matter? I feel okay as it is and I am definitely NOT a diabteic, so why do I need to worry about making sure my blood sugars are level? Why? Why? WHY?

Well, let's look at your diet, whether you are watching what you eat or not. Do you eat processed foods, foods/drinks that include artificial sweeteners or highly refined sugar foods? Just because you're drinking a Diet Coke does NOT mean you're in the clear. Aspartame (aka Acesulfame Potassium) has become a well known ingredient that some think is for the better, but studies are repeatedly showing it is for the worse. Aspartame is responsible for a very long laundry list of negative side effects: dizziness, headaches, behavioral changes, hallucinations, depression, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, fatigue, irritability, insomnia, vision problems, hearing loss, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain. In fact, it can even worsen other illnesses by ingesting it. So even though something says, "Diet", "Sugar Free" or "Light" does not mean it's free of all artificial ingredients, which is where we need to change our mindset. We must no longer be run by our stomachs and our guts. We must get away from the, "I have to have it", or "It just tastes so good", and finally, "It's not gonna kill me". Of course it's not gonna make you drop dead right there, but it will eventually wear down your body and may end up causing you medical strife and possibly death down the road. We as a people need to understand that a balanced blood sugar level isn't a concern for just diabteics anymore. It is a concern for all of us because who really wants to possibly acquire blood sugar-related diseases, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and heart disease? No one. So who wouldn't want to try and minimize that chance.

Eating foods and consuming drinks that release glucose quickly will result in fatigue, hunger, irritation, and cause the blood sugar to spike. The mindbodygreen website provides a list of natural ways to try and manage blood sugar levels, however, you may find that it's easier said than done. As a result, it's important to acknowledge that some things we can't do alone and need help. Plexus has designed a product that will do just that. It will help. The Slim is all natural (even the pink coloring comes from beet extract and not artificial coloring) and is designed to balance blood sugar, cholesterol, and lipid levels, which has resulted in a variety of benefits for thousands of people including myself. The results I have experienced by taking Slim and it balancing my blood sugar level include: more sustainable energy throughout the day, sleeping more soundly at night, no more "cravings" of sweets or sodas, less noticeable anxiety/stress at work, and many more. Don't just take my word for it, do your research. Slim will balance your body the way it needs balancing. Not all results are created equal because it is dependent on what your body needs. I have to share though that the more I research, the more I realize how important focusing on our inner health is and what balancing out our blood sugar levels can do for us.

Slim main ingredients include: Chromium, and a Slim Blend (green tea extract, garcinia cambogia fruit extract, alpha lipoic acid)

Breast Cancer Awareness - Breast Chek Kit (BOGO)

Breast Chek Kit (it's not a typo)

Did you know that each year over 220,000 women and 2,100 men in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer?

This year, my mom was one of them. She is taking measures needed, but early detection is so important. It could save a life!

Check out this 2 minute video of the Kit on the show, The Doctors

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fmss3z3U9zc

The kit consists of two micro-thin layers of polyurethane with a non-toxic lubricant sealed in between. When the breast check is placed on the breast, the bottom layer gently adheres to the skin and remains stable allowing the upper layer to slide freely underneath your fingertips. As the upper layer slides freely over the bottom layer, friction is greatly reduced. This results in what is called 'sensory touch magnification' or, in other words, your sense of touch is greatly improved, thereby improving the effectiveness of all breast self exams.




Plexus Promotion Alert: This promotion will start Tuesday, October 6th. For every Breast Chek Kit you purchase as a customer or as an ambassador, from October 6, 2015 to October 31, 2015, you’ll get one FREE. We encourage you to give the extra kit to a friend, family member, or coworker to help promote early detection.
