Unfortunately, we get many of the toxins that get trapped in our body from the air we breathe. The air is filled with pollution from car exhaust, smog, paint fumes, and even cleaning products and perfumes. While we may enjoy the smell of a scented candle, it is contributing to the toxins you are breathing in. While you can certainly control the types of cleaning products and candles you use in your home, you can not control what goes on outside your front door. Therefore, performing a full body cleansing on a set schedule will help you to get rid of some of the toxins that get trapped inside your body from the air you breathe in everyday.

You'll also find there are toxins in just about everything you eat or drink, as well. Even the water that you drink from your tap is filled with toxins. Chlorine is used in the water to help it be free of bacteria, but at the same time, you are filling your body with chlorine and many other chemicals they may use to keep it clean. You'll also find that when you're drinking water from the tap, you may be getting rust or metals in your water from the pipes. These can be hazardous to your health if taken in large doses and if you drink a lot of water from your tap, you should make certain you do a complete body cleansing to get rid of any toxins that you may get from your water.

The food you eat also may have a lot of chemicals in the way of preservatives and such. Many years ago, if you wanted a chicken dinner, you went out back, grabbed a chicken, slaughtered it and then prepared it for your dinner. Now you can buy meals in a box that includes chicken in a can. This chicken is loaded with preservatives and other chemicals to prevent it from spoiling. These chemicals, if taken alone in a high dose could be very toxic and when you eat the food there in, your body may not be able to eliminate all of the toxins and you find yourself feeling the effects. When doing a body cleansing, you'll make certain you are getting rid of all of the toxins that you may have "stuck" within the cells of your body.

The fact is you'll find toxins in almost anything you see on the shelves in the store. From shampoo and antiperspirant and canned soup to cleaning products, the chemicals or toxins are going to somehow get in your body, whether you ingest them or breathe them. While we can be careful of the water we drink and purchase organic food to eat, you'll never be able to eliminate all of the toxins that are around you. Instead, you need to make sure you body is working at peak performance to eliminate them.

In order to get your body at top performance in eliminating toxins from your body, you should make certain you go on a strict schedule of body cleansing. Body cleansing will help your body to get rid of built up toxins and can help ease the symptoms you may be experiencing, such as headaches, fatigue, and constipation. A body cleansing will help your body to be at its best. However, if you find you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you may also want to consult with your physician as they can be a sign of other health conditions.

Then, the unthinkable happened.

As she joined the group poolside, one of the women reached out, touched her belly and said “oh, you’re expecting a wee one.”

But she wasn’t. That mortifying moment sparked a new resolution for Julie. As the words of the woman echoed in her head, she knew she needed to change her 208-pound body and her lifestyle as well.

“I knew I couldn’t go on like this anymore and allow my weight to affect my life,’” recalls Julie, who is a mother of five.

Soon after her poolside experience, she was approached by her parents who had recently learned about Isagenix® from a close family friend. Normally a person who would analyze the program and take time to decide whether or not to try it, Julie jumped right in and began the Cleansing and Fat Burning System. She was skeptical because she had previously failed at popular diets like Jenny Craig, LA Weight Loss, and The South Beach Diet because they didn’t curb her hunger. Yet with Isagenix, she noticed a difference and knew it wasn’t a diet, but a lifestyle change.

“I couldn’t believe how good I felt. The weight started coming off, I felt more energy and it was motivating to see the results,” says Julie, who lost 65 pounds*.

Now down from a size 18 all the way to a size 8*, Julie’s outlook on life and her perspective have changed. She no longer doubts herself and her abilities and has adopted a “can do” attitude instead. She’s even taken up the business side of Isagenix and is currently a Consultant.

Since losing the weight, Julie’s returned to going on business trips with her husband, although the reactions she now receives are dramatically different. Her full circle moment happened just a few months ago when the same woman whose words served as Julie’s catalyst for change approached her while on a trip to Las Vegas.

“She told me how wonderful I looked and that she was so happy for me,” reflects Julie. “In a way, I’m very thankful for her for making that initial comment. Finding Isagenix and losing the weight has not just changed my life, it has given me life.”

"I’m not the most outgoing person, so volunteering has helped to remove some of those barriers and build relationships with other Associates and our top leaders," says Scott. "Volunteering has been a great experience because I’ve had the chance to meet so many people and learn so much about myself and others.

"Scott started Isagenix in June 2007 and has incorporated it into his chiropractic business. His wife Kimi, an aesthetician, has also found that Isagenix has great benefits for the skin and offers it at her spa. Together they have worked on building their Isagenix business and quickly realized the benefit of attending events.

"Events help you realize your potential and are truly a key to success," explains Scott. "They are crucial for new Associates and for everybody to help inspire you and ignite your business."

Events have not only given Scott the opportunity to meet new people, but to help build his team as well. One of the rewards of volunteering is receiving a certificate to attend an event for free, which he has shared with members of his team.

"We’re in the people-helping business with Isagenix and being able to volunteer to help my team and others is just an extension of that," shares Scott.

Scott has volunteered for Isagenix University and a Mastering the Stage event and plans to volunteer at future events.

Beverly Taylor experienced in one year what many never experience in a lifetime. First was a divorce and moving out of her 3,500 square-foot dream home. Then, her father’s health took a turn for the worse and he became confined to a hospital bed at home with hospice care. Finally, she had to open and close her offices where she worked as a hypnotherapist due to all of her personal moving.

But while her world appeared to be crumbling, Beverly was not.

“Honestly, Isagenix® kept me afloat,” the Star Consultant says. “I don’t know what I would have done without it.”

When introduced to Isagenix, Beverly was skeptical at first because of bad experiences she’d had with another company’s sales tactics. Her mind was changed after listening to “Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus” author John Gray. She has also noticed the integrity of the company’s leaders, Master Formulator and Founder John Anderson and Co-Founders Jim and Kathy Coover and the quality and effectiveness of the products.

“I signed up for my health needs, but also thought this might be helpful for my clients,” Beverly explains. “As a hypnotherapist, I always felt like I was only helping halfway — clients were receiving emotional and mental support, but their nutrition was on their own. I felt like this could be the other half I was missing.”

As she began using Isagenix, she noticed a difference in her energy levels. The once avid dancer hadn’t moved energetically in years because she felt like she had the “energy level of an 80-year-old.” After taking the nutrient-rich products, in only a few days the vitality and energy she used to have returned and her mind felt like it had begun to clear*. Beverly has been using products daily for years, receiving great benefits in her health and wealth. Her sister and parents also followed suit and began using Isagenix.

A few months after she and her husband decided to divorce, Beverly received the news that her father’s health had declined. He was sent to the hospital, then home with hospice. By his side every day during the week, Beverly says she had a difficult time thinking about cooking or eating anything. Her Mars Venus™ Super Foods Shake for Women and IsaLean® Bars kept nutrition flowing through her body since they were easy to mix up or toss into her purse.

While her Isagenix business continued to flourish, with her earning rank steadily climbing near the top 100, Beverly moved in with her sister to live closer to her father. Beverly says the earnings from her Isagenix business provided the income to support her during the months that she stopped seeing clients and stayed with her father. She and her family are very grateful for the extra time she had to spend with her father, especially being able to meet with all of the doctors, nurses and caregivers during the week.

“Isagenix was life-changing and life-supporting on a physical, emotional and financial basis,” Beverly says. “How many people have the luxury of dropping everything to spend every day with a dying parent while the income is still coming in?”

More than anything, Beverly wants the leaders of Isagenix to know how much they’ve impacted her life.

“There’s no way I can thank everyone enough,” Beverly says, choking back tears. “Look at all the benefits it gave me — how can you thank that big?”

Beverly is continuing to build her Isagenix business through her hypnotherapy practice in California and especially through her outstanding team.

Struggling with a lack of energy and spending long evenings in front of the TV, it wasn’t until a close family friend told him about Isagenix® that he began to consider a lifestyle change. He researched the company, read testimonials, and talked to his wife before trying the Cleansing and Fat Burning System.
