Youth Juice - mood improver?

I am so absolutely loving the energy and motivation I now have thanks to YouthJuice. I have had the belief for the past couple of years that a huge part of my anxiety disorder lay in the way my body processed vitamins, and that I was lacking something very important to emotional balance. Whatever it was I have gotten it into myself now, I feel balanced and calm (for me! I'm still an excitable person). I am able to function through most events - just normal nervousness now, like when dealing with a new situation or I really want to impress  someone. I do not have panic attacks anymore in such situations. I am very happy with the unexpected emotional balance I have achieved simply through using YouthJuice alone.

Busy busy!

I am continuing through with active days that I never used to have! I took hubby to a gig last night, which started at midnight, and am up and running already. I am continuing to have benefits for my skin's appearance, I chose to go without makeup last night because I looked great! Nothing like being a forty something lady and having most guys in the room turn their heads when I walked by. I feel like I'm twenty years younger and no exaggeration. YouthJuice is the best thing I have done for my health in my life.

Allergies

I've been going out for the past couple of days to walk the dog and am completely surrounded by snow mold. It's so thick it looks like spider webs on the grass, and I've been doing extremely well. The past two days I've begun to get puffy and sniffly and the snow mold is almost all gone. Not bad for exposing myself more in the past weekend than I have for years!

Happy Earth Day and Earth Day in Hollywood

Well, the stars should have their bottles of YJ by now, thanks to Distinctive Assets Gift Bags sent out to thank folks like Tom Hanks, Ellen Dejeneres, Jake Gylenhaal, Drew Barrymore, Barbra Streisand, Ricky Martin, Orlando Bloom, oh soo many! I hope they read my letter and get just what this product can do for their overall health! The beauty of YJ is it's simplicity, it's just plain berry and sea veggie puree. Nothing fancy and I think the best delivery system of nutrients possible on the market today.

I started this blog out with wondering if this product even worked, and the idea of selling it made me feel uncomfortable. BUT, it's changed my life so much it truly is revolutionary. I am now heading out on the daily dog walk for crying out loud. I have not spent an afternoon laying in bed "recovering" in forever. I'm actually getting out and seeing friends instead. I am so excited about what is in store for me in the future, thanks to the energy I have from YouthJuice.

“THE KAWASAKI NINJA” WORKOUT

“THE KAWASAKI NINJA” WORKOUT

This is a great 5 station, 10 exercise full body workout that implements kettlebell, Battle Bag, dumbbells and your bodyweight.

I can truly say this one was a tough sucker (you can hear that I am out of breathe after completing the 3 rounds) especially because you are loading up the kettlbell exercises with heavier weight and the weighted plyometrics added a challenge.

I implemented the new Battle Bag, a product that I am endorsing. In fact I have 3 Cardio Shredder Workout DVD’s as part of the Battle BAg MMA Workout Program, so stay tuned and grab your battle bag today. It will help you to burn fat and develop serious abs and core.

Okay enough of the product endorsement lets get to the workout. But before we do, one thing that I want to touch on is always planning and being prepared for your workouts.

Whenever I go to the gym, I seldom see one person with a workout paln written on a piece of paper. Instead I see a lot of guys and girls walking around aimlessly like ZOMBIE’S, not knowing what to do next…it’s so sad.

Why? Because they are NOT PREPARED…

If you want to be successful in your training and reach your goals, then you must plan your workouts, write them down (and not in your head), have a backup plan in case someone is using the equipment or weights you need and rate the workout at the end. (having a workout diary is great)

I NEVER go to the gym, or to my basement, or to the MMA training facilty without a plan…that goes for me my clients and workout partners.

PLAN, BE PREPARED AND BE SUCCESSFUL!

Alright, time to Workout!

Acne solution from the inside out

I have heard that the University of Calgary is beginning a study and trials into Youth Juice specifically to see if it benefits acne suffers. I have had issues with acne and it's gotten much worse with heavier cell phone usage in my life. I am looking forward to seeing if this does clear up, I'm switching to a different cell phone that will be easier to clean, I'm also making sure it doesn't touch my face while on the phone or going to speaker when possible. I have noticed an improvement in the texture and pore size appearance of my skin in the past month. Perhaps I will see a difference in the acne a few months from now.

Spring Allergies

I am so happy to be experiencing this spring without allergies seriously affecting my sinuses, eyes and skin, and at the height of the snow mold getting exposed with the melt. Because our temperatures are going up and down, the snow mold is getting exposed and covered up again by more snow, greatly extending the time it is still around. I am able to go outside and walk through the fields with the dog and not get all stuffed up. I am also able to continue my spring cleaning with making the dust fly in the house, and my eyes are not itching me. I love being able to snuggle my cat and pet her for ages without itchiness. These effects did not start until after I began using YouthJuice, the sea veggies (Kombu Fucoidan, Bladderwrack, Sea Lettuce) contained within are active anti-inflamatories and they are making my allergies go away.

In the Pink!

I am so greatly appreciating my gums being a healthy pink again, and my tongue not being constantly coated with thrush. It's also showing a healthy pink. So great to have my body utilizing the vitamins I'm giving it and rewarding me with healthy looks!

Bounceback from the flu

I am just busting through everything that I need to do today, and I know that the flu that just tried to get me is a nasty one, it's been knocking people down around me for a week at a time. I know that I've fortified myself with all the vitamins and just plain goodness of the berries in the Youth Juice. If I didn't have that in my diet I know I would have been alot sicker than I was. I was more miserable and whiney than anything else :)
Today I got out our press releases for the Youth Juice Earth Day campaign, vaccumed the house and mopped as well, cook, dusted, etc etc etc. Laundry and all that awesomeness is still waiting for me, after lunch then...I've still got energy to spare. So cool!!

Earth Day In Hollywood by Distinctive Assets - and we're in the bag!


and our press release for the local media!


I am looking forward to more and more people hearing about this juice, it is exactly what it says it is.

Flu Fighter

I've had a flu bug trying to get me for the past few days, with a low fever coming and going and yesterday it got me good. Barely! I spent alot of the day laying down and sleeping but I think I didn't get anywhere near as sick as I could have without the YJ.

Powering through my days

I have alot of things on the burners now, my life has become busy in a way that I only used to dream of. The energy I now have, the mental clarity, is amazing. I have motivation now and physical strength I've never had before. Have I said this before? It's like I'm living the movie "Limitless", I am now able to accomplish what I've dreamed of because I can and I want to. Wow. I am completely amazed at how using a product that was developed specifically for delivering nutrients to your body in the most direct way possible can have such an impact on your whole life mentally and physically. I didn't even have a poor diet before, my digestive system was unable to utilize properly what was being put in it!

Comparing to the others

Just have had a couple of interesting conversations with some different folks today about MonaVie, which I suppose is YouthJuice's main competition. I haven't used MonaVie specifically but the folks who used it commented that it didn't do a huge amount for them. They felt better like how taking vitamins will make you feel better but no huge changes. Nothing like YouthJuice's results that I've seen with myself and people I know who are taking YJ instead. Like ridding one lady of Colitis, and another who went off her depression meds soon after starting YJ because she felt so good. One personal story today was of a man who felt like he was at a big money making machine when he attended a MonaVie meeting, the money side of it was way more important than the health. In fact, he said the healthy side of it wasn't even mentioned....So, I had to check out the competition!!

I have just started with taking a quick peek at the MonaVie site. I'm interested in the ingredients. Listed in their Essentials juice is Acai, grapes, raspberries, wolfberry, aronia (chokeberries), camu camu (super expensive and comes from Peru), Maqui (Chilean wineberry, from Chile and Argentina), acerola (a southern U.S. berry), cupuaçu (from Peru and Columbia and northern Brazil), bilberries (from Finland. Very difficult to harvest and transport, and is very expensive), banana, cranberry, kiwi, prunes, black currants, and another expensive import from South America - jabuticaba. I read up on all of this at Wikipedia, very easy to access info. So lots of anti-oxidants, lots of Vitamin C. And that's great. I saw "superfruit" alot. Better than synthetic Vitamin C - that's a given. Difficult to grow and harvest was another subject that came up alot, plantations suggested but would take employment away from the local Peruvian farmers deep in the jungles who rely on selling these fruits for their livelihood.

Ok, so comparing the two brands:

MonaVie - anti-oxidents, lots and lots of vitamin C, chokecherries providing anti-inflamatory properties, super expensive superfruits that are difficult to produce and are very expensive, may affect indigenous people's way of living. The juices come in four different varieties. One is the ingredients described above and have colon cancer fighting properties. One is for active people and has both white and purple grapes in it, lychee and other fruits. One is for heart health and designed for that, again different ingredients. The fourth blend is an acai/maqui blend. I thought maqui and acai were already blended in the other juices. I am unable to find disclosure if there are any additives to the juices on the website. For instance, are vitamins added, and if so how much? Is there water added? Sugar?

YouthJuice - anti-oxidents, anti-inflammatories, the options of the juice are the puree alone or get it with the added dose of daily vitamins (Restor). All the berries and sea veggies are grown organically in BC. Cancer fighting properties, heart health, inflamation reduction - all covered in one juice. Over $100 of berries crammed into the one bottle. Full disclosure on the web site and on the bottles, you know exactly what you are drinking before you even open a bottle. Before you buy a bottle. Before you sign up.

By the way, the University of Calgary is conducting studies into how YouthJuice helps clear up acne.

Comparison Shots

I have diagnosed mold and dust allergies, and all of our snow is melting, meaning there is tonnes of snow mold on all the grass everywhere. My nose is slightly stuffy but otherwise I'm fine. Last year I had to dose myself with allergy medication to get through the day. I also ended up at the doctors with a terrible sinus infection.

Compare today's shot of myself:

















Close up of barely there puffiness under my eyes today:



And here's me from the beginning of March:





Blech, so glad I'm not all puffy anymore, thanks YouthJuice!!

No more bloodshot eyes

Yep, I'm serious. My eyes had gotten so bloodshot previous to YJ because of constant dry eye. Blurry vision was part of it too. I can bear to look in the mirror now, so happy!

METABOLIC FAT BURNING RECIPE - CHICKEN WITH MOROCCAN SEASONING AND QUINOA

METABOLIC FAT BURNING RECIPE - CHICKEN WITH MOROCCAN SEASONING AND QUINOA

Here's something Angela and I made right out of Dave and Karine's "Metabolic Cookbook" -- their super popular new fat burning cookbook.

The Chicken with Moroccan Seasoning and Quinoa took us under 30 minutes to prepare and cook, and took me 2 minutes to eat. It is so good and tasty.

Since we have started with cooking from this book, we can definitely see and feel the difference in our bodies. I am down about 1% body fat in one week. I’m looking more ripped as well.

The Guide is defined as the following:

Metabolic Thermo-Charge (of food)

It stands for how many calories your body is going to burn just breaking down the nutrients each time you consume a certain food. For example protein tends to have a high Metabolic Thermo-Charge. For this reason, by having high-quality protein in your diet, you'll naturally burn off more calories and move closer to your goal weight.



You should know Dave & Karine's Metabolic Cooking Recipe Guide hit some sort of sales record so to celebrate the success of their launch sale, and by popular request, they are extending their 1/2 Price Invitation Only Discount until 11:59 April 10th

Putting Mark Kay, Brisa nails, and Youth Juice together.

Dear peps,
I have came up with an I deal to market Youth Juice, Mary kay , and brisa nails together! As they all promote one thing in common which is beauty. I think that by showing people that if you feel good it will boost your confidence. As I am setting up a room to do all this I will put the youth juice and Mary Kay on display and speak to them as I am doing their nails. I think this will work out well because I will have their full attention. As well as I will make them feel relaxed, talk to them and let them vent. If I can do 3 of these things I think these products will help sell each other. Also I think that by giving people that relaxed feeling they will be excited to come back so they can take a break from their busy lives.

Youth Juice

Dear peps,
I have just begun selling youth juice which is not marketed by very many people in Newfoundland. There is only about 3 people selling it on the island which means there is not much competition. The problem is this is a whole new product to me. The product has been around for years but just coming to Newfoundland. The product has many health benefits such as it clears up acne, prevents water infection, boosts your energy, and gives you all your daily nutrients and much more. I am going to launch this product by developing a short little blurb that emphasizes its health benefits to the public. The one problem is that it costs $50.00 for a one moth supple. Anyone have a marketing idea on how I can get people to understand that the product is worth this price.

Mary Kay

Dear Peps,
I am currently a May Kay consultant and I want to expand my business. I am currently in the process of making business cards to distribute. I feel I need to host many promotions and Mary Kay parties. Where there are many people selling this product in my community, it makes for a lot of competition. I am trying to develop a plan that offers promotions on a monthly basis but in order to get the promotion you need to order certain amount of product, get your friends in to try the product, or sell some of the product to your friends. I need as much feedback as possible!

Brisa Nails

Dear peps,




I have recently completed the brisa nail course and am hoping to build some cliental. To be able to do perfect nails I first need some practice. I was thinking that while in the practice stage I will only charge $25 a set as the nails will still be fairly good. Then when I can do an excellent job and designs I will charge more. To start off my business I first need to advertise it. I am currently in the process of developing posters and business cards. I also have a spare bedroom in my house that I am setting up as my nail room instead of working for someone else so that I can maximize my profits. As well when i did the course my instructor said that many people who get their nails done become addictedbecause it makes them feel good! Would love feedback pls!

Summary of my trip tp Halifax

Dear blog,
We just got back from Halifax, it was an excellent trip other than the fact that we never placed in the top 2 in our division. When we got to the hotel in Halifax we unpacked and began practicing, it was so hard to focus with everyone around but we did it. The next morning I was up at 6am and went for coffees. When I got back I began practicing till we went over to the convention centre at 9:30. It was perfect because the convention centre was connected to the hotel. When we were at the convention centre we went to the room where we had to present and the whole way I was extremely excited and not nervous to present. Oh boi, when we got into the room in front of all them executives, CEO’s, business owners ect. I lost all excitement and became extremely nervous. It felt like the words were just going to stop coming out of my mouth, I started sweating, and I felt like crying. It must have been the most terrifying time everrr! Now I am glad that I did because I think if I ever have to present in front of people like that again I will not be as nervous. As well as on the trip I got to meet so many people and have fun with my instructors and fellow students! J 

Preparing for Hailfax

Dear blog,
Today Melinda, Holly, and I have began practicing for the SIFE regional’s in Halifax. Where we have to present to CEO’s and company “big shots”! *scary*.  Our presentation is about what we have done to promote energy conservation in our community. This is perfect because we all participated in promoting energy conservation throughout the community therefore having a good knowledge about the presentation. We have lines to remember that have to be timed correctly. This can be a bit stressful at times, but overall I am excited to go on the trip and feel it will be a great experience.

Promoting Energy Conservations

Dear blog,
Over the last semester Newfoundland Power launched its “Take Charge” campaign which promotes energy conservation. As part of the SIFE team we helped with promoting energy conservation throughout our community. We targeted younger children because they are more motivated and more likely to get their parents on board. We went to Balbo Elementary where we talk to the grade five students about ways they can conserve energy. I found that the students were very energetic, interested and couldn’t wait to get started on conserving energy. As part of the presentation we gave them a chart to compare their last year’s monthly energy consumption with the next three months energy conservation. The challenge was to see who could have greatest energy conservation. That student will receive a prize.  

Is YJ the fountain of youth?

When I think about what the word youth means to me, I think about energy and zest for life. Climbing hills, running and jumping. With coming to point in my life where I thought I no longer had that ability it's thrilling to have that return. I think I have found the fountain of youth.

My head is getting big, and bigger and bigger....

Ok, so I'm getting compliments on my looks from my kids, my husband and now people at work too. I know that I look so much better, like two years ago better, before I started going downhill. I really can't believe that what I see reflected back in the mirror is what I feel inside. So cool and so thanks to the Youth Juice!

A MUST TRY FAT BURNING METABOLIC RECIPE


(See Funk and Angela’s Thai Chicken Basil Stir Fry Video below)

METABOLIC COOKING REVIEW

Want to hear the coolest metabolism secret yet?

Certain foods have hidden metabolic superpowers that can make your body burn even more unsightly body fat in far less time than “dieting” alone.

For most of these foods, the “superpowers” are essentially their high thermogenic effect.

My friends Dave Ruel and Karine Losier call it their "Metabolic Thermo-Charge".

It basically stands for how many calories your body burns just breaking down the nutrients each time you consume a certain food.

Dave and Karine are masters in the kitchen, and they know how to cook delicious (or Metabolicious, as they love to say) recipes that have been specifically organized around high "Metabolic Thermo-Charged" foods.

CLICK HERE FOR FAT BURNING RECIPES

Their "Metabolicious" recipes ensure that you’ll never get bored or be tempted to ditch your diet, and you’ll get the fat loss results you deserve FASTER!

You’ve really have to check it out their Metabolic Cooking Package.

Angela and I picked it up as soon as it launched (you get 52% off all week) and have been cooking up the fat-annihilating recipes.

The bulk of Metabolic Cooking is its vast amounts of nutritious and tasty recipes. The program contains the following recipe books, each with 20-40 recipes:

• Breakfast
• Chicken and Poultry
• Fish and Seafood
• Pork
• Red Meat
• Sides
• Smoothies
• Snacks
• Vegetarian

In total there are over 200 fat burning recipes each complete with a nutrition profile and directions on how to make. See the screenshot below showing one of the recipes found in the chicken and poultry recipe book.

You can see it is designated with PFC (Protein, Fat, Carbs), so it is easy to pick the meals you need to eat during the day. Just match the meals the meal plan that is discussed in the nutrition guide.

Check out the video of us cooking one of the recipes. Metabolic Cooking is totally "Funk and Angela Approved" because it's quick and easy and a perfect combination of complete proteins with natural carbs and a healthy fat!

Day 44

Just got home from seeing a wonderfully intense rock band. Therefore I just spent the past three hours in the middle of a jostling, bouncing and well, slam dancing crowd. I felt great, and I still feel great. I am not drained. I jumped for song after song and petered out when the teenagers around me did. I am so not the same person I was over a month ago, and I had a blast at the show, thanks to the energy the YJ is giving me.

and more compliments

Oh!! We were in the middle of a roadtrip (never the best circumstances for looking great, no makeup on...) and Hubby turned around, took a good look at my face and said "You look beautiful. Beautiful!".

Compliments over the past couple of years have gone the route of "no, you look nice honey" while I complain about the puffiness of my face, etc., and the unsolicited comments were rare and usually more about how the outfit looks.

So his saying that I look beautiful and how he said it was magic!

Day 43

Wow, been crazy busy and haven't even sat down at the computer for days. Don't even miss it either, I'm getting things accomplished!

Physical changes for the better are awesome, and I've noticed another huge improvement. I have always had a tendency towards thrush, especially on my tongue. It's always white and coated and I've had issues with my breath not smelling so sweet after a long day. That is turning into something of the past, and I'll hit late afternoon without feeling I need to brush my teeth, or being paranoid that my breath is going to knock someone over. So YJ is turning into a thrush cure for me as well. It appears to be balancing out the yeast levels in my body.

HOW TO GET SIX PACK ABS WITH ROB RICHES PART 4 OF 4

SIX NEW AB EXERCISES FROM ROB RICHES

Here is Part 4 of my 4 Part Series How to Get six Pack Abs with my man Rob Riches. I worked with Rob on the Battle Bag Workout DVD Shoot and was truly amazed at his abs and knowledge so listen and apply his techniques.

The abdominals work in four different plains of motions or directions in order to help you train each section. You must train all four to get the optimal inner strength and strong abs.


1) Truck flexion or crunching motion – upper body to lower body movement – Upper Abs

2) Lift hips – moving the lower body toward the upper body – Lower Abs

3) Truck rotation or twisting from side to side – Core and Obliques

4) Side to side flexion – Serratus and Obliques


I ensured that all the exercises Rob shows in this post hit all movements. Remember the only way you are going to see the SIX PACK is with good, clean nutrition.

Hanging knee lifts for lower abs





Cable crunch for upper abs



Decline Leg Raises Lower abs - Rob Riches




Double Crunches with Knee Up





Swiss Ball Side Crunches with Twist for Obliques



How to get V-cut abs



ROB RICHES
