I am both proud and blessed to represent an American company that was voted “Most Trusted Brands” and “America’s Best Store” by USA Today and Plant-A Insights (one of the leading research, data and analytics firms).
I’ve been shopping at The Wellness Store for over 20 years and I shudder to think what my family’s health would look like had I not found it.
“Grateful” doesn’t even close to describing how I feel.
“He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything.”
Tattoos: It seems that they can cause health problems.
Denmark did a study with twins: one with tattoos and the other without. They found that skin cancer and lymphoma were more frequent in those with the tattoos.
The inks contain heavy metals and chemicals like propylene glycol, traveling from skin to blood to lymph nodes. They move into your lymph system because the human body is trying to remove what it (correctly) perceives as foreign matter.
Here’s the study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39819495/
This Florida woman, Mildred Kirschenbaum, is going viral on social media with this piece of life advice.
“I want to share a thought about attitude. I recently turned 100 years old. And yet, I have friends who are 15-20 years younger, and their attitudes are going to cause them not to survive to my age.
They’re not grateful for anything. Their attitude is, ‘I don’t see my kids more than once a week’ or ‘the food I was served was cold and bad.’ Their attitude is not acceptable.
If the food isn’t quite right, so have an extra dessert! If you hear from your children once a week, that’s fine. They call you once a week, you call them once a week. And be grateful that they are enjoying life.
Change your attitude. Look at the positive side of life. I think THAT is what got me this far. I try my best not to sweat the small stuff and to have a positive attitude.”
Mildred, 100 years old, lives alone, drives, pays her bills online, texts loved ones on her iPhone and never misses happy hour. She has become an internet sensation for her advice on living a long and active life.
Forgiveness is another concept Mildred discusses.
“At this point in my life, I’m 100. When I go to bed, I may not wake up again. Why carry an unnecessary burden? Why wake up in the morning and, even though you don’t think about it, you’re angry at somebody? They don’t deserve your anger. If they’re not important to you, just shelve it. If they’re important to you, reach out.”
Some of Mildred’s videos appear on the lighter side, including one she shared about getting tech-savvy, no matter your age.
“We live in a computer world. Either you go with the flow or you fall off the train. This is a tech world. If you have a computer and don’t know how to use it, there’s a book called “Computers for Dummies.” Don’t say, ‘I don’t know how to retrieve emails.’ There’s no such thing as, ‘I don’t know.’”
Mildred has an iPad, an iPhone, and a Microsoft computer to help her stay in touch with people, get information she needs, play an occasional game of Words With Friends, film her videos, and do her banking.
“The only checks I mail are birthday gifts,” Mildred said. “Everything else is online.”
Other topics Mildred discusses are navigating the road at 100 years old, why she chooses to live alone, the safest way to get up if you fall at home, and directions for her chicken soup recipe which was requested over and over.
“Taste it. If you don’t have enough salt, add it. Don’t be afraid to improvise.”
One key to longevity, Mildred said, is getting out and about — being social.
She enjoys playing bridge or canasta to keep her mind sharp and stay connected with others. But one of her favorite ways to be social is attending happy hour at her community clubhouse or a favorite local restaurant.
“I do enjoy happy hour. There’s usually no one there even close to my age but that’s no problem whatsoever.”
We could all take Mildred’s advice .
I am so thrilled to be Coaching others with this amazing protocol.
REAL FOOD!
I’m getting ready for the upcoming R3 Challenge, the first for 2026. I’m working on my final 20 pounds.
If you are interested in starting out this new year in creating a healthier you, do contact me. There is something
for every one in R3. After all, it’s a lifestyle—not a diet. I know it works. I lost 100 pounds in 2022 and it still hasn’t
come back!
Who wants to join me, a certified R3 Coach, in starting a new healthy chapter?
Helping others to feel better and get healthy is the best Career Choice I’ve ever made.
Simply Fit Banana Muffin Mix.
I couldn’t wait to bake up these new banana muffins. This mix is gluten free, packed with protein and fiber, and made with allulose to maintain stable blood glucose levels. Did you know allulose is the sugar contained in figs and raisins? It is 70% as sweet as table sugar, but so much better for you. If you are cutting the sugar foods in your diet, this is a yummy treat you would love! I like to give my puffins a little extra touch by adding a few pecans into the mix. They are delicious and seem like a decadent breakfast treat. They are also approved for R3 if you are following the plan.
Simply Fit Pancake Mix
Waffles were on the menu for breakfast this morning! I love the Simply Fit Pancake Mix and the waffle recipe did not disappoint! I made the recipe for eight pancakes, with the addition of one tablespoon of oil (I use olive oil), per the instructions on the bag. This gave me six 4.5″ x 3.75″ waffles.
If you haven’t tried this mix yet, I highly recommend it! It’s gluten free, packed with protein and fiber, and made with allulose to maintain stable blood glucose levels. Being a LADA diabetic means that this mix is great for those like me who need to watch heavy carb loading and the resulting blood sugar spikes that regular pancake mix causes. Plus, it’s actually delicious with a lightly sweet taste without the need for syrup or other sweet toppings to accent the normally bland taste of pancakes. I sometimes add a handful of blueberries to the batter for a change of pace.
Since I am certified with R3, I’m happy to say that this is R3 friendly. Although it’s best to wait until you are in the Reintroduction phase of the plan. Why not during the Reset phase? Reset is a major metabolic reset so stick only with products that are on the “yes” list. Once in the Reintroduce phase, you can add “no” list items, while observing how our bodies respond to each reintroduced item.
I love this plan and all of the great products I’ve found—after all this is how I lost over 100 pounds If you haven’t checked out the R3 plan, I highly recommend it!

Day 21: Activate C Immune Complex
Because being busy in high gear can wear me down, I kick my immune system into high gear with the power of Activate-C Immune Complex. Whenever I feel my defenses need a boost, I supercharge my immune system by mixing one packet with 6–8 fl. oz. water. Sometimes when I’m feeling especially run down, I mix it with hot water—that little bit of warmth is very much welcomed on cold days.
Each delicious glass contains 1,200 mg of vitamin C, 15 mcg of vitamin E, and 15 mg of zinc powered by Oligo, plus a powerful blend of scientifically selected botanicals, giving me the most powerful support for my immune system!
Are you ready to kick your immune system into high gear with the power of Activate-C Immune Complex?
$12.00 for 20 packets that’s $0.65 a glass!
Day 20: Sei Bella Dry Shampoo
I love this dry shampoo because I’m a busy person and I don’t want to wash my hair every day.
I know overwashing will dry my hair out faster than the Arizona sun. But this shampoo works by absorbing oil and sweat, adding shine while infusing my strands with the sweet scent of vanilla. It nourishes, protects, and refreshes my hair in time for those holiday parties and events without the harsh chemicals. residue or build-up.
$19.50.
We all need to know where our beef comes from. Personally, I eat a lot of lean beef that is raised…
We also only buy Prime or High Choice (not Top Choice).
Why the push towards beef? Because…..
But what about cholesterol? You may be surprised!
What’s for dinner? We’re eating steak!
Consumer demand for beef is at an all-time high. That’s partly because recent studies indicate that beef is an essential part of a healthy diet.
But wait! What about all those so-called studies that surfaced about 20 years ago suggesting that beef could somehow be related to heart disease or even cancer?
Well, it turns out that beef was simply getting a bad rap. Those scientific studies were not substantiated by the facts. New data shows that the rumors that were circulated about beef 20 years ago are not what they are cracked up to be. In fact, a 2017 meta-analysis by Texas A&M University reviewed 40 significant cancer studies, most dealing with a supposed link between red meat and colorectal cancer.
Researchers found limitations in the literature and concluded that there “is currently insufficient evidence to confirm a mechanistic link between the intake of red meat as part of a healthy dietary pattern and colorectal cancer risk.” Because these studies were the supposed strongest evidence between red meat consumption and cancer, this Texas A&M review shakes the foundations of what scientists for decades had wanted us to believe.
There has NOT been a single clinical trial conducted that establishes a direct link between beef consumption and cancer or heart disease. Numerous recent studies are reaching a different conclusion. Indeed, more recent studies are providing compelling evidence of the health benefits of consuming beef. And, it is worth noting, none of these studies were funded by the beef industry.
