For as long as I can remember I have always struggled with my weight. Rewind back to the winter of 2016, my husband, Tim, had just returned from a business trip for work and he was miserable. He shared with me that he needed to make a change because his weight and poor health was affecting him in his daily activities. From weekly work travel, to needing to drink a lot of coca cola (he's not a coffee drinker) at work to stay awake, to not being able to play with the kids because he's too exhausted. I'll never forget the day, December 19th, 2016, right before Christmas and New Year’s Eve, my husband and I started a health journey together.
We both wanted to lose weight, Tim also wanted to not need to take bp meds and overall to be healthier. His preferred foods were always burgers, pizza, chips, and snack like foods. Well that was about to change. He knew a fitness and nutritional specialist that we met with. We signed up the same day, not knowing what we were going to go through. We were put on several supplements and a very strict, clean eating, version of the ketogenic diet. We also were given specific exercises for where we were in our health journey.
Now our lifestyle includes very clean eating and clean supplements. Fast forward to the summer of 2017, we had already lost over 40 lbs each, still wanted to lose more. While we were feeling good, I was still taking anxiety medications and despite the weight loss, Tim was still on his BP meds. Clean eating and taking supplements were now a part of our daily life.
After obtaining a permanent camping spot, we met Ivy Steinhoff. She slowly started making remarks about Plexus, how long they have been taking it and what it has done for her. Tim was dead set against Plexus. He said he had what our nutritional consultant told us to take and that was good enough. I was curious though, so I started taking Plexus Triplex without telling him. Within a few weeks I noticed I was falling asleep faster and sleeping well, I was losing faster, and my energy level became constant throughout the day. I knew something was different! Tim noticed too, and when he saw me drinking the pink drink, he asked WTF I was doing (his exact words). The next week he started Triplex too (ask him about what happens when you don't ramp up).
About 3 months after being on Triplex, I added Vitalbiome, one month after that, I was able to stop taking my anxiety meds and have never taken them since. We have completely replaced all of our other supplements with Plexus. And while Tim is still on BP meds, his doctor has reduced them.
Our children also take Plexus. They take the Xfactor multivitamin and the Probio5 probiotic. For Addie, it calms her anxiety and you can visually see how calm she is. For Andrew, it's helped his allergies. He was ALWAYS sniffling ALL DAY LONG! After taking Probio5, he does not sniffle at all. It has also helped their overall health as both only missed 1 or 2 days of school in 2018-2019 for illness. They are extremely healthy compared to their peers, many of who we have seen miss 10+ days of school because of being sick.
My passion for Plexus continues to grow as I take the products, hear testimonials from people we know, and make more friends through our business! I think the best part is we have found something that my husband and I can use and build together, and it aligns with our goals to continue a clean lifestyle! Plus, our passion for wanting to help others has grown and continues to grow daily! In fact, in 2018 Tim and I completed a Nutritional Consultant Certificate Program from the Trinity School of Natural Health. We work every day to use that education to help people with their health and wellness goals.
We hope that you will be inspired enough to give supplementation a chance. If not Plexus, something else, but do it. Supplementing our lifestyles is crucial in today's world! If you're interested in Plexus, we would love to help you in your health journey!
