Happy Monday!

I want to share with you what I bought on my last Wellness Store virtual shopping trip.

The brand NEW products that I’m excited to try are…
* Cookies & Cream protein (30g/svg)
* PhloraV probiotic for vaginal health
* VigorFt for men (women too if they need a boost in testosterone) but for men, a “Booster for your Rooster”
* Cinnamon flouride-free tooth polish

ProflexCookies and Cream
Vigor FT & Phlora V
ProstAvan
Sustain Frosted Lime

This morning I made a Proffee when I woke up. I’ve been seeing a lot of ads for them lately. I made it using fresh ground French-pressed Mountain Cabin Organic Breakfast Blend coffee, new Collagen Boost with Ceramides (10g protein) and a scoop of Vanilla Proflex Pro (15g protein) so I got a good hit of protein right when I woke up to help me meet my protein goals today. I have been working on getting 120-140g of protein each day while I follow the R3 Weightloss Plan to start burning off the remaining fat this summer.

I have been shopping at this Wellness Store now for 20 years and it’s been such a blessing! I am thankful that they keep coming out with new products! They’re safe for my family and forty precious pup too! No toxic chemical residue on the floors from the floor cleaners I buy here, so no worries for him.

I love sharing this store with friends and family knowing it’ll help improve their overall health, save them time and money shopping at big box stores and maybe even improve their financial health if they decide to refer their friends and family. I get a thank you check every month for referring others. This is like a healthy version of Costco with Target vibes and Amazon Prime shipping.

Have I told you about the steaks! OMG deliciousness! They are the best, American ranch raised with no antibiotics!

The SeiBella Skin Care and Haircare is AMAZING and it’s European quality…meaning no toxic chemicals will get into your bloodstream and wreak havoc on your endocrine system.

I am happy to meet with you and share it with you too!

Another Berberine story

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

This time the story comes from one of my happy shoppers and this is what she had to say about Berberine.…

“So a couple of months ago i went to the ER because I felt off and just felt like i was going to pass out. Well, my glucose level was over 450! That was scary! I have been nervous about taking chemical meds for diabetes—I just don’t know. I saw the Wellness Store has this great product called Berberine, and I decided to try it out. I have been taking only one a day—you can take two a day; once in the morning and once in the evening. I found this pill to be a life saver! There are a lot of benefits taking Berberine and one of them is to help with glucose levels. Without the Berberine and eating right, my blood sugars hovered around 135-170. With the Berberine, my glucose levels have been around 87-110—that’s a huge difference! PLUS, I am also down 15 pounds! I will have to find my bloodwork and compare it to the new bloodwork that I will be having done next month. This is a great product!”

Eczema is known as “Asthma of the Skin”

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

….. for good reason. 

Atopic eczema is a genetic condition. It is often seen in patients whose family members have it or other related conditions such as asthma, hay fever or allergic rhinitis. Some patients may have atopic eczema alone or with several or all of these other conditions.

So what do you do if you have eczema?

  1. Get to the root cause. Eczema is an autoimmune issue so taking a proper probiotic is critical… yes, for kids too. I can recommend a great one if you need help.
  2. Change laundry detergents, hair care products, body washes and lotions. Anything that touches the skin can irritate, so choose products that are void of caustic ingredients. This can be easier than you think…. and I found a way to not only improve my condition, but it saved me money too.
  3. Avoid steroids.  Doctors will prescribe steroid creams or suggest an over the counter product like CortAid. Do NOT take them as they will thin the skin and make you far more prone to skin cancer.
  4. Look for body products that will protect the skin. You can’t cure eczema but you can cause it to lie dormant with the right products. Look for ingredients like Allantoin and Petrolatum. 

This “skin disease” can be disabling so staying in front of it is really important. Reach out if you need help with this!

There’s A New Sweetener In Town 

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

In our household, our #1 focus is balancing blood sugars. Your blood sugars impact cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimers, kidney disease, eye disease, neuropathy, hearing impairment, skin infections, etc.

I’m always looking for ways to have healthy sweet treats that still taste amazing, so I’m super excited to discover some baking mixes that don’t spike the blood sugar. (Imagine pancakes with 11gr of protein and only 2gr of sugar. Brownies with zero sugar. Muffins with 5gr of protein and 2 gr of sugar.) How?

They are sweetened with ALLULOSE. You may not have heard of Allulose like you heard about stevia or monk fruit, so here are the details:

  • It tastes like sugar but without the calories. It’s a rare sugar that occurs naturally in small amounts in foods like figs, raisins, and maple syrup.
  • It doesn’t spike your blood sugar or insulin. 
  • It is DIABETIC FRIENDLY. This is HUGE for anyone (like me) managing insulin resistance, PCOS or just trying to stabilize energy and hunger.
  • It is absorbed by the body but NOT metabolized, so it passes through without impacting glucose levels!
  • It doesn’t feed bad gut bacteria. Unlike some other sweeteners, like Maltitol, it doesn’t ferment in the gut, which means less bloating, gas and sugar cravings.
  • It supports gut health by protecting the gut lining and reduces inflammation—unlike some sugar substitutes that can wreak havoc on your digestion.
  • It tastes legit! There is NO WEIRD AFTERTASTE. It just tastes like real sugar because it basically is real sugar.
  • Sweetness without the carb count and great for baking.

For those of you who count your macros, follow KETO or trying to reset your hormones, this Allulose doesn’t count towards net carbs.

What could be better?

Special News about Riverbend Ranch

All USA Wellness Box shoppers need to check this out:

Riverbend Ranch Beef sticks and Beef Jerky are now available in our wellness boxes!

Priced less per stick than CHOMPS at Costco. The best part, consumers preferred Riverbend Ranch Beef Sticks two to one over CHOMPS!

Check your ingredients

If you knew what was actually in the products under your sink… you’d throw them out TODAY.

For example, Bleach is linked to asthma. I should know as bleach “takes my breath away” in the form of an asthma attack

The term, “Fragrance” can legally hide over 3,000 untested chemicals.

What is surprising, the average American home has more toxins than a landfill.—and most families have no idea.

I switched my entire home over to a private, American-made wellness store—and I’ve never looked back.
No middlemen. No toxins. No fear. Today I’m helping families just like mine get started.

Why do I talk about the Wellness Box so much??!!

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Well…the reasons are simple:

• The whole store is NON-GMO

• Everything is American made

•Not only are they the Distributor, they are the Manufacturer of all the products they sell

• There is a full Organic line

• There is a huge “No” chemicals list: No formaldehyde, phthalates, parabens, triclosan, ammonia etc.

• All of the Make-up, skin care and hair care products exceed EU standards. Over 1,300 chemicals banned —gluten free, sulphate free and more.

• Almost every product is powered with Essential Oils

• Most importantly, this company has Never had a single lawsuit of poison control claim in 40 years!

VISCERAL FAT: The Silent Threat!

When people chase weight loss, they obsess over the scale. 

But what really matters isn’t just weight loss, it’s fat loss…….specifically visceral fat loss.

Visceral fat isn’t the fat you can pinch.

It’s the fat wrapped around your organs — your liver, kidneys, intestines, quietly pumping out inflammatory signals that wreck your metabolism, your hormones, and your heart health.

Why is it dangerous?

• It’s a major source of inflammatory estrogen — the kind that does not show up on a standard blood panel but still fuels stubborn fat storage, hormone-driven cancers, and disease.

• It triggers insulin resistance, setting the stage for diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune issues.

• It’s metabolically active — but in all the wrong ways — keeping your body trapped in low-grade inflammation.

And here’s what no one tells you:

Popular weight loss drugs like semaglutides (Ozempic, Wegovy) aren’t targeting visceral fat.

It’s often the last place your body loses fat, if it loses it at all.

It’s been said that losing weight without losing visceral fat is like redecorating a house that’s on fire. 

Not all weight loss is good weight loss.

If you’re not losing visceral fat, you’re not fixing the real problem.

InBody scans measure visceral fat by sending a harmless electrical current through your body, which encounters resistance based on the distribution of body fat, muscle mass and water content. It’s more than a number on a scale.

Real health isn’t smaller pants — it’s less inflammation. Less disease risk. More life.

Hot flashes, brain fog, mood swings, stubborn weight,

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Hot flashes, brain fog, mood swings, stubborn weight, midsection bloating and inflammation, restless nights—oh, the joys of perimenopause and menopause.
Seriously, who decided this was the game plan?
Luckily, there are some absolute game-changers that have been helping so many friends, family, and teammates feel like themselves again.

Berberine – Helps keep blood sugar in check and supports metabolism, making that midsection weight a little less stubborn.

Peak Performance – Kicks sluggish energy to the curb, because crashing by 2 PM is not the vibe.

FocusAP – Clears the brain fog and sharpens focus, so you don’t walk into a room and forget why you’re there.

Luminex – Helps take the edge off mood swings, because life doesn’t come with a warning label for “brace yourself, I woke up cranky.”

EstraVal – Eases hot flashes, night sweats, and the hormonal rollercoaster—because nobody has time to feel like a human furnace.

Vitamin D3 – Supports bone health and immune function, because strong bones and a happy immune system matter more than ever.

Florify – Keeps gut health on point, which plays a bigger role in hormone balance than most people realize.

MelaOut – Helps quiet the nervous system and promote relaxation, so actually sleeping is a thing again.

Hearing how much these have TRULY helped the women in my world has been wild—this phase of life doesn’t have to be a struggle!

Ingredient Spotlight: Allulose

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Allulose. Is a rare sugar that’s found naturally in small amounts in foods like figs, raisins, and maple syrup but here’s why WE are using it.

It tastes like sugar, acts like sugar in recipes, but doesn’t spike your blood sugar the way traditional sugar does. Unlike typical sugars, allulose is absorbed by the body but not metabolized for energy. That means it passes through the body with minimal impact on blood glucose or insulin levels. In fact, several studies have shown that allulose can even help reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes, making it a powerful tool for anyone watching their glucose whether for weight management, metabolic health, or conditions like prediabetes or diabetes.

My favorite perk? Allulose helps reduce the net carbs of a product! Whoop whoop! Since your body doesn’t use it like regular sugar, you can subtract it from the total carb count — just like fiber or sugar alcohols — when calculating net carbs.

This is also R3 approved!

The pancake, muffin and brownies mixes were formulated using allulose as well —plus they are gluten free and packed with fiber and protein.
Another win on my weight journey!
