WHY DO ELECTROLYTES MATTER?

Electrolytes are electrically charged minerals vital for numerous bodily functions, including balancing fluid levels, supporting nerve and muscle function, regulating pH balance, and maintaining stable heart rhythm and blood pressure. These functions are powered by the electrical signals that electrolytes conduct, which are essential for life-sustaining processes. Adequate electrolyte levels are crucial, as imbalances can disrupt normal bodily functions and, in severe cases, lead to life-threatening complications.

Key functions of electrolytes:

Fluid balance: Electrolytes help maintain the amount of water in your body, both inside and outside your cells.

Nerve function: They are essential for generating and transmitting nerve impulses, which control everything from your movements to your thoughts.

Muscle function: Electrolytes enable muscles, including the heart muscle, to contract and relax properly.

pH regulation: Electrolytes help balance the acid/base (pH) level in your body.

Cellular processes: Electrolytes help move nutrients into cells and waste products out of cells.

Heart health: They maintain the heart rate and rhythm, and ensure steady blood pressure.

Why balance is important:
The body works to keep electrolytes at the correct ratios. If levels become too high or too low, normal bodily functions can be disrupted. For example, abnormal levels of key electrolytes like potassium or calcium can significantly impact heart function.

How to get electrolytes:
You can most likely get all the electrolytes you need from a healthy daily diet that includes a variety of produce, lean meats, beans, whole grains, nuts, and seeds.

If you are someone who works out , it’s good to use electrolytes that will help your body PREPARE , PERFORM and RECOVER. And make sure you use or buy electrolytes that don’t go with cheap alternatives or unhealthy ingredients. I love the one I use and it tastes great too!

The real raw truth.

I didn’t want any part of shopping club. I didn’t want any part of it. I kept my very good friend on read when she shared it with me because I thought the store was crazy.To be honest, now I’m glad she never gave up on me because this store was exactly what we needed.

We needed a place that had ZERO child proof caps. We needed a place that had better, greener and safer ingredients. We needed a place that would take care of customers and their concerns while helping meet their needs. The customer service at this store is amazing!

The products in this store are products people need. The company’s growth shows proof of that. I know my Shopping Club is will continue to change lives. Don’t be someone who says, “I wish I would’ve been open to this sooner.”

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.

Sol-U-Guard to the rescue!

Today, I was wearing white pants. I was busy and when I looked down, I saw red. Yep, red ink across the thigh. of my new white pants. It was only the second time I wore these pants and was heartbroken. I didn’t have my favorite stain remover with me, so I figured the ink would be set in by the time I got home. BUT… I have a spray bottle of Sol-U-Guard at work. I wet the ink area with water, sprayed the Sol-U-Guard in the hopes it might help. The ink is GONE!!! Mind blown

Never Ever…

It’s 2025. It must be a better value. It must be convenient. It must (really must) be healthier.
Those are four reasons why I do not buy meat in a big box grocery where the only one that fits from the four item list is: it is 2025.

Getting my poultry, fish, pork from Good Ranchers also points to some of the perks:
– supporting American farms
– reclaiming two hours from grocery store
– helping 170,000+ veterans.

My beef from Riverbend Ranch Black Angus has the perk of amazing flavor since it is all Prime and Select. It is totally raised, harvested and aged on the same ranch. Those stressful crowded hauler trips do affect the taste of beef.

Of course, Riverbend Ranch products qualify as Never Ever having antibiotics and hormones—if your meat isn’t labeled “Never Ever” and just says “No antibiotics or hormones” that does not mean never ever. I need a producer I can trust and I have found one in Riverbend Ranch.

Melagel to the rescue!

Burnt my thumb on the crockpot. It was screaming even with running it under cool water. Melagel to the rescue! Now I barely feel it. Thank heavens!

Have you tried fennel?

Fennel, is an interesting plant food. It is an Italian tradition And can be eaten raw like a celery stick. It has a licorice flavor to it.

5 Benefits of Fennel:

1. Aids Digestion: Relieves bloating, gas, and supports smoother digestion.

2. Nutrient-Rich: High in vitamin C, fiber, potassium, and a little calcium and iron.

3. Fights Inflammation: Contains compounds that help reduce inflammation naturally.

4. Supports Hormones: Traditionally used to ease bloating and mild hormonal symptoms.

5. Freshens Breath: Chewing fennel seeds after meals naturally freshens breath.

Here are two simple, traditional ways to enjoy it:

1. Raw in Salads: Slice the bulb very thin (use a knife or mandoline), toss it with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. It’s crisp, slightly sweet, and refreshing — pairs especially well with arugula, shaved parmesan, or even some orange slices if you want a classic Italian twist. I just it slice it up like celery to grab and eat!

2. Roasted in the Oven: Cut the fennel bulb into wedges, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and maybe a little thyme or rosemary, and roast at 400°F for about 25–30 minutes. It caramelizes beautifully, taking on a soft, sweet, almost buttery flavor.

Old-school wisdom: When you cook fennel, it mellows out — if you love a milder flavor, roasting is the way to go. If you like a crisper, sharper taste, stick to raw.

LYME DISEASE 

It’s known as “The Big Imitator” because its symptoms mimic so many other conditions. Many people go years before getting the proper diagnosis.

As with any illness or autoimmune disease, if the root cause is not addressed, symptoms persist. Here are four common symptoms of Lyme Disease that are often misdiagnosed.

  1. Chronic Fatigue: Taking COQ10 can help rebuild energy at the cellular level.
  2. Brain Fog & Memory Issues: Herbs like Bacopa and brain supplements with Ginkgo biloba, Bacopa monnieri, and phosphatidylserine support recall, concentration and cognition.
  3. Joint & Muscle Pain: Supplements with Turmeric and Resveratrol help to reduce inflammation.
  4. Anxiety & Depression: Supplements with ashwagandha and saffron help regulate stress responses. Too often, people spend years with the wrong diagnosis of depression, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue or stress. Lyme Disease can be diagnosed with a blood test, but if tested at too early of a stage, the test might result in an inaccurate result.

Persistence is key until you get the proper diagnosis!
