Why shop here?

So when you know that your decision to try the Wellness Store will not only have an impact in YOUR world (by bringing an entirely new brand into your home), but can also impact my world by adding to my business…skepticism may arise. I’m just keeping it real.
You know, that doesn’t make you a bad person for feeling that way. It just makes you human. It also doesn’t mean that you have anything personal against me or that you specifically do NOT want to support me.
It just means that you understand that there are a few layers to the whole thing and that “of course” I am going to tell you how GREAT this store is…because it’s my business. Right?

Here’s the good news:
• You don’t have to take my world for it alone.
In May of this year…the Wellness Store was named by USA Today as one of our Nations most TOP TRUSTED BRANDS.
• A study of 65,000 consumer surveys and 470,000 retailer reviews by Plant-A Insights, published by USA Today, recognized The Wellness Store for outstanding customer experiences.
• Also, a separate study of over 24,000 consumers and 359,000 brand reviews also highlighted us as one of the country’s most trusted brands.
This company did not apply for these recognitions; they were the result of independent studies and analyses of consumer data. That’s a fact. The way I see it….THAT MANY PEOPLE can’t be wrong!

So does your willingness to try this store help me and my family?

It does—and I am forever grateful. I love my work and I am indebted to all who have said YES to shopping here.

The more important thing is YOU…and your ability to TRUST who you are partnered with when you shop here.

So, why shop here?

Well, let’s be honest…my shared opinions may not be enough for you…for obvious reasons: This is my career. This is my work. This is my business.

So when you know that your decision to try the Wellness Store will not only have an impact in YOUR world (by bringing an entirely new brand into your home…) but that it will also impact my world by adding to my business… then skepticism can arise.

Join Me for the R3 Fit for Fall Challenge!

Are you ready to transform your life and prioritize your health?
Join us for the R3 Fit for Fall Challenge, starting on October 6! This is not just another diet; it’s a sustainable lifestyle change designed to help you enjoy your favorite foods while improving your wellness.

If you’re wondering if this program works or not…take it from me, it does. In June of 2022 I was almost 250 pounds and figured what did I have to lose? (Weight, of course) I decided to give R3 a try. I did start losing weight following the plan. Mind you it’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle switch. At the end of the six-week challenge I was informed I had placed second in percentage of weight loss! I was amazed. I continued following the Real Life part of the plan and by November I had lost 87 pounds. In December I was down by 100 pounds. The following April my weight loss totaled 125 pounds. The best part? I have kept off the weight! It hasn’t come back to haunt me (well, except for 10 pounds that arrived with the prednisone prescription) I plan on ridding myself of those 10 pounds inn this challenge! Who wants to join me to kick off a healthier holiday season?

What is R3?
R3 is a straightforward, easy-to-follow lifestyle plan that allows you to eat the foods you love without counting calories, grams, or ounces. The plan consists of three simple steps:

  1. Reset: Balance your blood sugar and discover foods that benefit you. Say goodbye to unhealthy food addictions and kickstart your weight loss!
  2. Reintroduce: Learn how to balance carbs, proteins, and fats while gradually reintroducing foods you’ve been avoiding.
  3. Real Life: Enjoy all your favorite foods while maintaining your weight loss, even in real-life situations like parties and vacations!

The R3 Process

  • Three Stages:
    • First Two Weeks: Focus on cleansing your palate and eating from the Yes List.
    • Second Two Weeks: Start to reintroduce some items from the No List in moderation.
    • Final Two Weeks: Enjoy guilt-free meals of your choice.
  • The program teaches you Healthy Habits in these seven areas:
    • Community
    • Nutrition
    • Supplementation
    • Water
    • Exercise
    • Silence
    • Sleep

Is R3 Right for You?
Whether you have diabetes, thyroid issues, PCOS, or dietary preferences like veganism, the R3 plan adapts to your needs. You can choose your foods based on the Yes List and explore supplementation to enhance your results.

What: FIT FOR FALL CHALLENGE
When: October 5-November 17, 2025

Registration: $10.00
What is your goal this year? To lose weight, to be healthy, learn healthy lifestyle, etc.?
If so, join us for the upcoming 2025 R3 FIT FOR FALL CHALLENGE.
We have these challenges three times a year, but I have been attending and following R3 for for several years and was a second place winner in my age group in 2022 . My initial goal was for health reasons—lose that 100+ pounds that I’d been carting around for years and develop a healthier lifestyle. That goal was achieved—I lost 30-pounds within that first six-week program in 2022 —and it sparked me to continue losing weight and by April of 2023 I had reached my goal weight. Throughout my journey, I’ve seen many success stories and heard moving testimonials.
My and others’ success led me to apply for R3 certification. Now, I can help others as I was helped.
So, WHAT IS R3?
It is more than weight loss—it’s a lifestyle.
It is resetting your metabolism during the first two weeks, called RESET.
Then adding high fiber, low-carb foods during the second phase, called REINTRODUCE. Finally, it is continuing the habits you learned and having one indulgent, pleasure meal during REAL LIFE.
At the end of the six weeks, if you have more weight to lose, you start the six weeks over again. If you are happy with your results, you follow the habits you have established.
By joining the CHALLENGE GROUP, you will get daily support through our Facebook group. We share recipes, offer solutions, have guest chefs, have exercise sessions, and Susan Lovisek-Torborg (the developer of R3) takes center stage in explaining what to do step-by-step through each phase of the program.
Many of us became Certified R3 Experts last August and will be on hand to offer encouragement and motivation!
One more thing, you can win prizes, and some of them are HUGE!
WHY DO THIS?
I would ask, why not? Don’t you want to take charge of your health through nutrition and exercise? Don’t you want to breathe better, move better, take less medicine or none at all, be happier, and enjoy life?
With this lifestyle, I am grateful to have the energy despite many stressful and challenging times. So thankful to God for His strength and blessings!
HOW TO JOIN?

Getting Comments Like This…Keeps Me talking…

Reaching out to help households find healthier, money saving, time saving, and better working is a joyful mission.
Today, I’m sharing what our Shopper Tina S. shared with us.
“Since today is laundry day, I thought I’d share what we’ve been using for many years. I get it from our online shopping club and it is amazing!
It uses a pump that is pre-measured so it takes all the guess work out of doing the laundry. It’s super concentrated, so you only need one third of an ounce per load which means I’m saving lots of money…and there aren’t any of the harsh chemicals to give us skin issues, breathing problems or make us sick.

I love this laundry line because of how affordable it is and how well it works. I cannot get enough of the scent either—the Lavender scent is my favorite.
I will never go back to those other brands EVER!
It costs only $19.49 for 96 loads which makes me One Happy Shopper!

Loving what I do

Out of all of the careers I’ve had, helping others to reach their goals physically, mentally and financially is the best choice I have ever made!!

To say the R3 program has been a game changer for me is an understatement.
R3 has significantly improved the quality of my life in not only managing my tremendous weight loss three years ago, but it has also improved my energy levels, sleep habits and my mood. I’m happier now and know those one-hundred-plus pounds are NEVER coming back.

Recently, I was invited to join a weekly “Wellness Zoom Party” with five other R3 Coaches. We all took turns sharing advice, tips and the impact it’s made on our individual lives. There were so many remarkable success stories as well as non-scale victory stories told. Hearing how this program has changed the lives of so many others, fuels me to continue to share R3 with as many people as I am able.

Do You Know The Symptoms of High Blood Pressure?

Probably not because high blood pressure typically doesn’t have any symptoms. Sorry, trick question. That’s why we need to routinely measure our blood pressure!

And yet…. this is a problem because it means that often the first people learn about it is when they sustain some vascular injury as a result (stroke, heart attack, kidney disease, etc)

What IS high blood pressure?
Well, a US survey found, in answer to a multiple choice question on the topic:

  • 25% believed that anything under 140/90 was fine
  • 18% considered 130/90 to be the threshold
  • 16% thought it was 140/80
  • 13% got it right, at 130/80

We should aim for 120/80. 
But did you know that 120/79 qualifies as elevated blood pressure?
Incidentally, the best workout to lower high blood pressure is isometric exercises (i.e. exercises where you hold a position without moving, such as wall sits or abdominal planks).
There’s always something new to learn!
