Oh boy! If you’re a fan of The Wellness Store, you’re in for a treat. They just announced a jaw-dropping product that you won’t want to miss!

Have you been using tallow? If not, now is the perfect time to dive in and experience the best tallow on the market. We’re thrilled to introduce our very own beef tallow, crafted right here at Riverbend Ranch in our dedicated manufacturing plant.

Why does this matter? Well, I recently uncovered some shocking truths about where store brand tallow comes from and how it’s made. Let’s just say, it’s not pretty, and the deception on labels never ceases to surprise me.

Why Choose Riverbend Ranch Beef Tallow?

Our beef tallow stands out for several reasons:

  • 100% Pure: Our tallow is free from any additives or harmful substances.
  • No Growth Hormones or Antibiotics: We prioritize your health and the welfare of our animals.
  • No mRNA: You can feel confident about what you are consuming.
  • No Rank Beefy Smell: Our tallow is fresh and odor-free, unlike some others on the market.
  • Not Bleached: Yes, you read that right—no bleaching here!

And the best part? You can get all of this quality for just $14.95 for 14 oz!

Why Tallow?

If you’re not already in your tallow era, let me tell you why you should be. Tallow is incredibly stable for high-heat cooking and frying. Plus, it contains zero carbs and zero sugar, making it an excellent choice for those watching their diet. It also supports hormone health since fat is a vital building block for hormones.

Additionally, tallow is a fantastic alternative for anyone looking to avoid processed oils.

Special Offer!

Muffins for breakfast, anyone?

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.

Another great find

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!

In the pink!

It’s been a busy on the go kind of day for me! I have to stay hydrated with electrolytes, vitamins, and antioxidants. My favorite is this raspberry lemonade pink drink. It has half the sugar of Gatorade and tastes amazing!
You may not hit the gym every day, but Sustain Active Electrolyte Hydration can still help you stay hydrated! With four delicious flavors, Sustain is easy to take along for a quick hydration boost wherever your daily activities take you!

Are You A Diet Soda Drinker?

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Many people justify drinking diet soda because the sugar has been removed, thinking it’s a healthier option.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 20% of Americans drink diet soda on a regular basis.

But did you know that it is still considered an ULTRA PROCESSED FOOD? It’s because of the manufacturing process and ingredients like additives and artificial sweeteners.

So what? Well, research links ultra-processed foods to an acceleration in biological again and a 10% increase in mortality risk. In fact, one study reported a link between ultra processed food consumption and 32 negative health issues, including asthma, high blood pressure, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, sleep disorders, anxiety and Crohn’s disease.

But get this: In another study, 90% of the women who switched to water reached remission for their Type II Diabetes. 

  1. Study participants were randomly grouped to either one group that continued to drink diet soda five times per week after their lunch, and another group that substituted their usual diet soda with water.
  2. During the study, participants were also provided with a six-month weight loss intervention, followed by a 12-month weight maintenance program.
  3. At the 18 month follow-up, researchers found that participants in the water group experienced a much larger average weight loss when compared to the diet soda group.

Additionally, 90% of study participants in the water group reached type 2 diabetes remission, compared to only 45% in the diet soda group.

Might be worth the switch!

A change in Mindset

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

I used to think the products I grabbed off store shelves were safe—because why wouldn’t they be?
But once I started digging into the ingredients, I realized I was bringing harmful chemicals into my home without even knowing it.
The good news? Switching to safer, better-quality products was as simple as changing where I shop.

Then: I used to grab whatever dishwasher detergent was at the store—until I learned many contain chemicals that stick to our dishes.
Now: I use an enzyme-powered formula that cleans without the harsh residues.

Then: I used to think All-Purpose cleaners were all the same—until I saw how many contained hormone disruptors and asthma-triggering chemicals..
Now: I use a botanically-powered disinfectant that’s safe enough for food surfaces.

Then: I used to buy big-name magnesium supplements—until I learned most don’t absorb well.
Now: I use a bioavailable formula with patented technology that actually benefits my body.

Then: I used to grab drugstore mouthwash—until I realized it was full of alcohol, fluoride, and artificial dyes.
Now: I use a cleaner alternative with essential oils that does the job without the junk.

Then: I used to overpay for essential oils..
Now: I get a powerful, high-quality blend for nearly half the price

I could keep going, but you get the idea. Every time I swap, I save money, get a better product, and feel good knowing I’m using safer options.

This 40-year-old, debt-free, privately owned store has completely changed the way I shop. Fast shipping, better ingredients, and no middlemen driving up prices. All this for ONLY $19 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒀𝑬𝑨𝑹!—which includes 30-50% off the everyday essentials you’re already buying, $100 𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒚𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒚 𝒅𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒔 to start, unbeatable customer service, and a 𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒍 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚-𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒈𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒆 on everything!
No risk, just peace of mind. I’ll never go back.

Is flour as bad as sugar? 

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Yes. Both sugar and flour have a very high glycemic index, which means they both spike your blood sugars. 

  • White sugar has a glycemic index of 65 and a glycemic load of 65
  • White flour has a glycemic index of 70–85, and a glycemic load of 53–65

What about BROWN sugar and WHOLEWHEAT flour?

With brown sugar, it just changed colors; it is not any healthier. With wholewheat flour, the glycemic index is slightly lower because of the increased fiber.

I recommend going for the most fiber-filled flour you can find. The fiber mix I use, which is virtually 5x more effective than Metamucil, can also double as flour. It’s an all purpose fiber mix with 16g of soluble fiber/serving.

Support Your Body’s Natural GLP-1

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

— Through Food!

At R3, we’re all about helping your body work the way it was designed to. One powerful hormone that plays a big role in managing hunger, cravings, and blood sugar is GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). While some medications mimic GLP-1, your body can naturally support its production through smart food choices!

Here are some foods that may help your body release more GLP-1 naturally:

🥦 Fiber-Rich Choices:
  • Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and oats
  • Legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas)
  • Fruits such as berries, apples, and pears
  • Veggies like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and spinach

🥑 Healthy Fats:
  • Avocados
  • Nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
  • Seeds (flaxseed, chia)
  • Olive oil

🍗 Protein Power:
  • Lean meats (chicken, fish, turkey)
  • Eggs
  • Dairy (Greek yogurt, cottage cheese)
  • Plant proteins (tofu, tempeh)

🍵 Bonus Boosters:
  • Spices like turmeric and cinnamon
  • Green tea
  • A little dark chocolate (70% or higher!) 🍫

Remember: Not everyone will experience the same results, but eating a balanced variety of these nutrient-rich foods supports blood sugar balance, satiety, and long-term wellness — the R3 way. I can help!
