Green is cheaper

Does it make sense that going green is cheaper? When you think about using eco-safe products what comes to mind first? You are not alone if you thing that using more earth-friendly products is more expensive than conventional cleaning products.

There is a way to see that green is cheaper. Think about the cleaning products you buy at the store. They are usually Red Aztec Lilly. Beauty from nature that is treated well. Green is cheaper packaged in a plastic bottle. They are formulated to use as is, meaning you don’t have to add water because it is already diluted with water from the manufacturer. Once you have used the product you will toss the bottle into a recycling bin (hopefully) or into the trash (sadly). What you have just paid for is water from the factory that was shipped at great expense. You have just paid for and disposed of another plastic container that has to be delt with either by disposal or recycling.

When you purchase Mrs. Mey..’s or 7^th Gen******* products you are getting biodegradable and non-toxic products. You are also getting water and a new plastic bottle each time. That is not maximizing your efforts to going green. It is also not helping you have a smaller carbon footprint.

Consider using a concentrated cleaning product that is biodegradable and has no scent or harmful chemicals; one that is sustainably sourced. There is only one bottle that would be used for up to 2 years in a normal Green is cheaper when you use Shaklee Products household. You have about 3 spray bottles that you use over and over during these 2 years. How many bottles have you saved the landfill or recycling center from having to deal with? Quite a few I would guess. You are also paying only one shipping fee instead of going to the store over and over and hoping you remember to buy the products.

Make life easy. Make going green cheaper. Use biodegradable, non-toxic cleaners for your home. Its better for you, your pets, your home and your earth.

Pet Allergies

When you walk into Corine’s house, you are met by a low-flying projectile. Corine calls him Sammi. After a few minutes, this little white dog will settle down. He goes to the sofa where he begins to incessantly lick and chew his paws. It is very nerve-wracking to Corine and anyone around. Knowing he is in pain from the itching makes her sad. She said the vet offers an allergy testing panel at the rate of about $1000.00. She cannot afford that. Pet allergies are such a pain.

I asked Corine if she is open to a natural solution that could possibly help little Sammi’s pet allergies. She enthusiastically agreed to take a look. I made a recommendation on two products that had the best chances of getting Sammi some relief.

Corine ordered the product. After three days of use, this is what she sent me.

What a great experience! I am so pleased to help out Corine and Sammi at a fraction of the cost of the allergy panel. This will be a much less monthly expense than injections or medications for his itching.

Share this blog with someone you know who has a dog that is licking and chewing its paws. We can help alleviate pain and enormous expense, bringing peace to the household.

wellness account deposits

Many Americans do not have a decent savings account. Even more do not invest on a regular basis. They will go into retirement in a bad financial state, depending on others. The same is true for physical health. They are not making wellness account deposits.

Many Americans are in poor health. Many are not “investing” in their wellness account. As time goes by, they are approaching a possible accident or serious illness. It would have been better for them to have up some effort (wellness account deposits) into their wellbeing so that the body could have fought off the effects of a sudden accident or illness.

For example, take someone who has spent their wellness dollars on cigarettes and fast food full of fats, sugar and empty calories. One person who followed that spending pattern has wound up at 72 years of age as a diabetic with other health issues being basically homebound. Had she diverted the money that went to bad habits to healthy food and supplements, (making wellness account deposits) she would have a much better retirement. She could be playing with her great grandson and enjoying life.

Being with Shaklee for over 31 years, I have seen many people decline in health unnecessarily. My mother is an exception. At 90 years of age, she has lost almost all her memory, short term and long term. HOWEVER, she can walk around, take care of her daily hygiene and play dominoes. She is on ZERO medications. She has been on a good plan of investing in her wellness account by taking Shaklee supplements and proteins for over 28 years.

I specialize in helping people proactively invest in their wellness account-their physical body. This good habit can start in our teenage years and it is not too late to begin in our 50’s and 60’s. It can be a very simple process that can lead to beneficial results for the long term.

If you know someone who has expressed an interest in a healthy retirement, here is a good place to start: https://meology.shaklee.com/adult/assessment?sponsorId=qGmw7evBqWbrkq9CZUUR5g%3D%3D&pwsName=healthhelpers It is a short online health assessment that will render suggestions on the supplements that are right for each individual.

It will be one of the best steps one can take toward better health and a happier life.

Enjoy your day.

Deteriorating Health

Sometimes we find ourselves in a state of deteriorating health. How does that happen? How did I get there? What can I do about deteriorating health?

Many people in their 20 are ready to take the world by storm. Nothing can hold them back.

In their 30’s they are focusing on their careers. They are establishing themselves in their chosen industry.

At forty, life begins to slow down a bit and they become more settled in their lives. The income has been set and they are comfortable with their lifestyle as a whole.

But have you ever seen those memes that says all is rocking along just fine but at 50 that “check engine” light comes on?

That little alert may be a realization that the hair is thinning or falling out. It may be stiff joints or an inability to climb stairs. What about too much weight in the middle? Or worse yet, bad report numbers after the annual physical?

These are the people I specialize in helping. Those who are facing a downfall in health status, deteriorating health, and are not quite ready to give in easily to the aging process. Many tend to depend solely on what the doctor or physician’s assistant tells them to do. I find it important to do some research and explore alternative pathways to solve a health problem.

Please understand that I have and use doctors and other medical professionals. They are trained in their particular field of study and practice. However, their recommendations and procedures may not be the best or most appropriate option for you.

If you know someone who is at or approaching the half-century mark with some warning lights flashing on their dashboard of health I can be of help and guidance. Send them to me and I will coach them on a path to wellness and self-care.

doctors recommendations

“Customer A” is a 70ish nutrition customer of mine. She has some health issues and is on a broad spectrum of nutritional supplements. She had to have a hip replacement to be followed by a knee replacement, per doctors recommendations.

As per norm, the doctors asked for a complete list of vitamins and supplements she is taking. We got that list together and submitted it. Her medical practitioner told her to cease all supplements 2 weeks prior to surgery. ( I would not do that, if it were me. Just saying.)

Stethoscope

“Customer A” had the hip surgery and at post op she was instructed by her doctors to resume all her supplements except Turmeric and CoQ10 because of some issue with her heart. I don’t know the particulars on that, but I am so pleased that her doctors told her to take her Shaklee supplements and protein.

Read that again: Her doctors told her to resume taking her Shaklee supplements.

That is big. Most medical professionals don’t want to encourage supplement use. I know there are other reasons, but I think their reluctance to recommend nutritional supplementation is that they don’t have time to do the research and they were not well-trained on nutrition and health in their rigorous medical school training. Should we always follow doctors recommendations?

I am more concerned about well care than sick care. Take care of yourself while you are well instead of relying on others to get you out of a sickness or disease. As they say, “An ounce of prevention….” Medicine spoon: this shows that preventative measures outweigh curative actions.

Be well. Perform well. Stay well.
