Shakeology

Can Shakeology help with Fibromyalgia?  First thing I want to say it that I know what having chronic pain is like.  I do not have fibromyalgia but I did suffer from chronic back pain for months until I eventually decided that surgery was the only way to get rid of the problem.  I know the 2 are not comparable but the the way business and big pharma try to take advantage of people with chronic pain are very comparable.  I would have done anything to stop my back pain.  I would have paid any amount money but I really was scared to death of back surgery. I went to 4 different chiropractors, multiple doctors and I even made a visit to an acupuncturist.  I remember looking up at the ceiling wondering  to myself “What the heck am I doing?’, I was laying their with about 20 needles sticking in my hip and thigh.  Did it help? Nope, but it turns out that the only thing at this point that would help was surgery.  Needless to say, the surgery stopped the pain immediately and now years later all is good.

Now, back to fibromyalgia and Shakeology. Can Shakeology help with fibromyalgia? I will be the first to tell you, I have no idea but what I do know is there have been a lot of people reporting that some of their symptoms have subsided and they think it is because of Shakeology.  The reason I want to bring this to your attention is because if you can get some relief then I know it is worth it.  If you try Shakeology and you don’t like it you can always return it within 30 days for a refund.  I know when I had my back pain I would have tried anything and I practically did but I never received a money back guarantee on any product or service I purchased. (I still have this weird looking pillow if anyone wants it.)

I personally drink Shakeology every day for the pure nutrition that it provides. I have been drinking Shakeology for over 2 years and will continue to drink it.  It is definitely my “Healthiest meal of the day”.  Can Shakeology help you with your fibromyalgia? There is only one way to find out. Give it a try and 1 of two things will happen. You will notice some relief or you won’t.  If you do then I am sure you will be one of our biggest advocates. If it does nothing for you then send it back for a refund. (No harm, no foul.)

Recently on a facebook thread a person asked the question if Shakeology has helped with fibromyalgia in any way? Now, this is not a scientific or clinical study but this is what people said:

Marisa F.- I have fibromyalgia! Shakeology has made a huge difference!!!  I suffered for years! I feel amazing now!!

Try Shakeology now!

Beth G.- I really have not thought about it Carl…but I have not had many flare ups since starting on Shakeo..that being said…I have it very mild

Carlos M.- I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 2 years ago, but have several other issues as well. I started shakeology almost 2 months ago & little by little I’m feeling better. Even eating healthier because I’m losing those old cravings & snacking habits. Lost 10 lbs & although it didn’t happen overnight, with daughter Jenna’s encouragement I pressed on. I now have energy to workout, taking it at a slower pace than the majority of TLS, but I’m not giving up! At 65 yrs old, I’m grateful to have connected with such a strong, dedicated & loving bunch of people who care about others. That in its self is worth it!

Susi K.- I do. I have had Fibro for YEARS. My Rheumatoid Specialist wanted me on 3 different meds for the pain. One of them was to control the symptoms from one of the other meds. I told him no and that I would find an herbal remedy. Shakeology AND working out has kept my Fibro in check. I NO longer have pain. I don’t take meds. This is what I take: Shakeology, Joint Support, Herbal Immune and Cor Cal Mag from BB. I feel great. When I am in pain, I will take 2 aspirin and work out to Light and Easy from YBB. I FOUND AN HERBAL REMEDY AND IT WORKS.

Eric H.- My wife has it and since being on shakeology and working out with slim in 6 she hasn’t had any pain

Nia P.-  I had painful fibro pains for over 12 yrs…my pains have vanished after a month of shakeology..will recommend to everyone!

Kristin K.- don’t let a fibromyalgia diagnosis stop you! it’s like arthritis, you HAVE TO MOVE, it will make you feel better! I was diagnosed 13 years ago, and i decided to ignore it. I started doing yoga, getting stronger, feeling better. Now I do Turbofire and drink my shakeology every day. No more tender pressure points, not nearly as much depression, fatigue, sure, because I’m BUSY enjoying my life!

Robin B.- I’m a walking testimony – I was diagnosed with Fibro after a car accident and given medication with the prognosis “I’ll have good days and bad days”. I was severely limited – from the time I got up until I went to bed. Because of that I gained 30 pounds and then diagnosed with Clinical Depression, which they wanted to medicate me for as well. I did my research and found how important nutrition was for this auto-immude disorder and others and Shakeology was my saving grace. I come off all medication, lost 30 PLUS pounds and within 90 days was able to enjoy P90X and insanity again. I have since not gone a day without it.

Carol S.- I had it and I have been doing Shakeology since it came out. After the first 6 to 8 months of having 1 shake for breakfast I was 100% medication free. My spasms and pain from the fibro were gone. I could get up and down off the floor and everything! It has changed my life and my families. Thank you so much for your wife having a plan. It gave me my life back!

Deyanna B.- I have Fibromyalgia and MS! I feel amazing using my Shakeology. Having autoimmune problems I am also very careful as to what I put into my body now! My Health is my Wealth!! Only the BEST for me!!! =)

Cheryl H.- I was diagnosed with Fibromylgia 15 years ago and was on meds for it until I was on Shakeology for a few months. I have probably been given a total of over 40 different RX’s since I first had the virus that affected my heart and immune system. Was on 19 last January. Down 9 after several months in the Shakelogy and now take 3.

Michele W.- I have fibromyalgia for about 20 years and trust me – proper nutrition is half the key to feeling better. I have tried shakeology and if I remember correctly, by the third day I was feeling pretty good! A shake a day and good nutrition and and all I really need is Motrin once in awhile!

Christina S.- Shakeology has helped me push thru the chronic fatigue that is believed to be a symptom of my fibromyalgia

Leigh Ann P.- I was diagnosed about 11 years ago triggered by a miscarriage and hereditary from my mom. When Jason suggested we start working out together I told him there was not way because of the pain. I did anyway and I will never stop. I do drink Shakeology and I know with the combination of working out and drinking the shakes I no longer have this diagnosis!! Lots of prayer too!

Katherine B.- Yes. It directly helps the fatigue which leads to me having the energy to workout and ease the physical pain suffered from my condition. It’s the very reason I drink at least a shake a day and have for almost two years. When I was first diagnosed with it, I wasn’t aware of Shakeology and was drinking energy drinks just to get through the day, which proved counter-productive after a time, because they are like a drug in that one must consume more and more for the same results. I gained a bunch of weight from the medication and the drinks and then my bro gave me some Shakeology, enough for a couple of weeks and I knew It was a new staple in my daily caloric intake.

Reva D.- Shakeology and Slim in 6 helped me with the fatigue and keeps NW from getting too sore. I notice a big difference when I don’t drink it regularly!

Rhonda F.- I have Fibromyalgia and it helps in many ways.

Michelle M.- Yes my mom has Fybromyalia and since I got her going on Shakeology 7 months ago she does feel better … all over. She is 59 and was getting worse and was even thinking on going to meds until I talked her into trying Shakeology. So far no meds and she is better so has to be Shakeology. Has to be. She also said her hair, nails and digestion is better. So really I have to say thanks to such a great product and company…glad to be a coach

Karina C.- I suffer from Fybromialgia in my back and Shakeology has helped with the fatigue. Immediately after I take it a feel a rush of energy to go on with my day. I truly love it The energy I feel is natural and pumps me up for the day; makes me want to exercise. I have to take it everyday though and I have felt a great change in my body because of it

Heather C.- Carl I have fibromyalgia and use shakeology every day. I also have a bunch of fibro customers that also use it. I find it helps the pain, energy levels and ibs.

Genia J.- I have multiple autoimmune disorders, and the answer is : YES! It does. My Rheum specialist says that I’m healthy, and most of my disorders are in remission. I have problems with swallowing and digestion. Shakeology has helped with both. I also does wonders for inflammation.

Theresa L.- Carl, I myself has fibromyalgia. Since being on shakeology theres has been a big improvement on what I can do. I still have my ups and downs but on a good day I can excercise. Prior to Shakeolgy I couldn’t do any excercise at all. So I would say Shakeology definately helps fibromyalgia. I hope this helps.

Barbara G.- I have fibromyalgia and I feel the best on the days I have Shakeology for lunch; and do my TurboFire almost every day. It’s the best combination in the world and it sure beats medications!

Bernie M.- Carl, I have suffered from the condition for around 12yrs, since getting fit using beachbody exercise programs and shakeology over the past 12 months I have found significant improvements in my condition. Previously I was on prescribe medication called Lyrica having 600mg per day, in addition to having 500ml of tramadol (pain killer) 3 times a day. The medication was a hard on my body as the condition itself. With improved fitness and better nutrition including shakeology I personally founda reduction in joint inflamation and pain, improved brain function with a reduction in brain fog, improved sleep quality, and a significant improvement in mood due to increased natural production in seratonin levels. Personally over the last 12 month I have now been able to stop taking lyrica + tramodol, and now just take a suppliment of melatonin to aid restful sleep. I can’t tell u the improvements in the quality of life they are plentiful + hughely significant!

Renee G.- I was diagnosed a little over two years ago with Fibromyalgia. My doctor told me to keep moving, and not to let the soreness and aches fool me. But I was taking at least 8 muscle relaxers per day and 4 Vicadin per day. I’ve been using Beachbody since March 2010, but the exercises were still a little rough on me. When I became a Coach and started Shakeology in November 2010, I cut way down on my muslce relaxers and pain meds. I only take them now either when I’ve overdone a workout or when the weather is really rainy and cold. So I would say that it is definitely doing something to help with all the inflammation I was having. I exercise 5 to 6 times per week and drink Shakeology every day. My pain level is now at 1 (depending on the weather) and my meds are as needed only.

Marianne V.- I’m an acupuncturist and herbalist. Some of my fibro patients have taken Shakeology and love it. One of them found her symptoms decrease by 80% within a week. I was surprised by her results and other similar fibro patients results. From a chinese medicine point of view, Shakeology would make perfect sense to incorporate

Linda S.- I do …it made a huge difference,i had been to specialists that said sorry deal w the pain. I would sit n cry because I hurt so bad,even to breath!! A few days in was a huge change for me,1 week into shakeology no more pain. I havent had a drop of pain since! I have a new coach same thing

Jonathan G.- Wow! These comments and reactions are absolutely amazing. I have been drinking Shakeology myself for years so I am a firm believer in how great it is. It is important to remind everybody that while we are always thrilled to hear about people having incredible experiences with Shakeology and improving their fitness, eating habits and overall wellness, that these are personal experiences and not any medical or scientific statements.

Remember: Shakeology is NOT a drug, it is a source of nutrition that helps the body do what it does best – thrive. There have been no studies proving any linkage between Shakeology and Firbomyalgia or other diseases. Always get a doctor’s opinion first and never change the dosage of prescriptive medications without your doctor’s approval.

Shakeology is so expensive!!! So I was at Zerbo’s health food store to day picking up a few things with the family and I decided to go and check out the smoothie bar.  Boy was I shocked! They had smoothies ranging from $2.50 to $6.84 a piece and none of them were even close in ingredients to Shakeology. If you haven’t checked out the Shakeology ingredients list then maybe you should take a look. Chocolate Shakeology ingredient list. Greenberry Shakeology list. If you really want to dig into Shakeology be sure to read the Shakeology book. Shakeology is $119.95 for 30 servings and if you purchase individual packets then you get 24 servings.  Is that too expensive?  Well, I guess that is relative to how important nutrition is too you. Personally, Shakeology is my gas (no pun intended). When gas goes up in price I still buy it. Why? Because I need to fuel the engine in my car.  I also need to fuel my body and Shakeology is that solution for me. I consider Shakeology 100% premium fuel for my body. Now you are definitely entitled to your opinion but until you have tried it you will not know what it can do for you. Best part is you can try it for 29 days and if you are not happy you can send back the empty bag for a refund. (How’s that for a guarantee?)

Back in 2010 I did a post about Shakeology is too expensive and everything I said then still holds true today and the more I drink Shakeology the stronger my belief becomes. My belief gets even stronger when I venture out to the health food stores and see people lined up at the smoothie bar to pay $7 bucks a glass and not even get 1/2 of what’s in Shakeology.

Would you like to give yourself the nutritional edge? Then drink Shakeology. The choice is ultimately yours but if you are reading this post then you are on the verge of a decision. Decide right now to at least try it. Not happy? Send it back. You literally have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Jeff Ochoa attends the Beachbody leadership conference in California!!!  Sounds kind of funny writing in 3rd person but it is good for Google.  When I am searched for this post should come up on the first page as well as my other stuff.

First let me say that Beachbody once again has put on an awesome event that was second to none.  Beachbody chose a great location in sunny southern California at the Laguna Cliffs resort in Dana point. Thursday night was kicked off with an awesome outside reception where we had a chance to mingle with other Beachbody coaches and Beacbody corporate people like Carl Daikeler, John Congdon, Brett Blake, Michael Neimand and Jeff Hill. All of these guys are great and listened with an open mind.

Friday morning (7:00 am) kicked off with a RevAbs work out with Brett Hoebel followed by breakfast and Shakeology. Brett Hoebel rocked it and I am sure the whole resort could hear us and the bumping music. Booooty time!!!!!  LOL  When breakfast was finished we only had about 20 minutes to shower and then get to the training which ran for the remainder of the day with a lunch break. There was also another yoga work out with Brett Hoebel after training for those that wanted to attend.Carl Daikeler and the guys also made themselves available for questions and pictures for a while too.

Saturday morning kicked off at 6:30 and with a P90X2 Yoga work out.  They gave us a P90X2 yoga mat so that was cool and the work out was awesome. It was only about 65 minutes which I like a lot better than the 90 minutes of Yoga X in P90X.  Off to breakfast after, quick shower and then more training for the rest of the day. The evening consisted of a 50′s themed “Good Vibrations” bash.  They had a band, dance floor, good food and drink.  A great time was had by all.

Sunday was departures.  Long trip back to Michigan.

This is another reason being a Beachbody coach is so awesome.  You can qualify for these trips in addition to helping 100′s of people get fit physically and financially.

One of the highlights of the trip was when Carl Daikeler announced some new products that will be coming.  First announcement was Body Pump by Les Mills. This work out will be a great addition to the Beachbody product line.  This work out is already in over 45 countries and is very well know.

Second new product was Tai Cheng which will be a Tai Chi work out.  This will be great if you are recovering from an injury or need something low impact.

Third announcement was the the new flavor of Shakeology, Tropical, should be ready around Jan 2012.  This flavor will also be vegan which will also be an awesome addition to the product line.

Last but not least. (Let me turn up the volume) YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET P90X CERTIFIED! This means you could actually teach a P90X class and get paid for it.  Sort of like Zumba, TurboKick or a kick boxing class.  This should be launched around March in 2012 and it will be available to Beachbody Coaches first.

If you have questions on the P90X Certification feel free to send me an email or give me a ring.  p90X certification would be a great addition to any fitness business.

We will also start offering “The Beachbody Challenge.”  Want to get in awesome shape? Ready to take the challenge? Just ask me how.

  Shakeology Retailers?  So you are on the prowl for  Shakeology retailers or you are wondering where to buy Shakeology? Well, I have some good news and I have some bad news for you.  You can not just go and get Shakeology from your local store like GNC, Target or WalMart.  You could piece together all of the Shakeology ingredients from GNC possibly but it would cost you over $400.00. Now who in their right mind would want to do that when you can get Shakeology from this site delivered right to your door step with FREE shipping and a 30 day money back guarantee all for $119.95. Oops, I guess I gave the “good news” a little prematurely.  That’s right folks, you will never find Shakeology being sold off of a shelf in a retail store.  Why? Well when you buy Shakeology from this site you get “me” as your coach and if you ever have any questions, need support or a swift kick in the buttocks then I am here to give it to you. Let’s face it, we all need someone to pick us up from time to time. That is why you will  not find any Shakeology retailers but instead you will find a Beachbody coach recommending Shakeology to help you reach your goals. Yes, Shakeology can help you reach your goals. It is pure nutrition for your body and let’s just say “it does your body good”.  Check out what doctors are saying about Shakeology but don’t just take their word for it. Give it a try.  Remember, you have 30 days to decide.  Be sure to read my post “Does P90X work without the supplements?” and at the bottom of that post you will find Tony Horton’s little quiz to take from his book “Bring It”. Answer all 13 questions honestly and then go back and answer them again after drinking Shakeology for 2-3 weeks. I think you will be surprised at your results.  If not, send it back. That’s our guarantee.  Also, be sure to order it on HD so you get free shipping, free Shakeology work outs and a free Shakeology shaker cup with your 2nd shipment.

In case you are wondering, YES, I drink Shakeology and have been drinking it for 2 years now. I am not trying to lose any weight but I drink it for the nutritional value it provides me every day.  I don’t think I would able to find this kind of nutrition any other way.

Feel free to see what foodfacts.com has to say about Shakeology. They give it a score of 97. WOW!

So if your looking for Shakeology retailers then you can stop looking.  You found me.

Shakeology has been making some huge waves in the fitness world. Why, because it is an awesome product and it is great for you. The coach network has sold over 400,000 bags of Shakeology  in just over 2 years with no infomercial advertising. This means that by word of mouth Shakeology has caught fire and people are having great results.  Personally, I am not trying to lose weight, so I drink Shakeology for the pure nutrition it provides my body that I really can’t find anywhere in 1 scoop.  For those looking to lose weight Shakeology is exactly what you are looking for.  Replace a meal with Shakeology and do the Shakeology work outs 4-5 times a week and you are on your way to a new you, inside and out.

Why would you not want to give your body something this good for it?  We are so confident that you will feel a difference that if you don’t, you have up to 30 days to return it. (Even if the bag is empty.) Skip the Red Bull, skip the $5 dollar Starbucks coffee, skip the Big Mac meal and give yourself something your body will thank you for.  I challenge you to find something this nutritious for $4 dollars a serving.

Shakeology

Buy Shakeology and give your body a nutritional edge.  Yes, I drink Shakeology every day.  Why, because it is pure nutrition.  Will drinking Shakeology help me in 1 or 2 days?  Probably not!  What I am doing is giving myself a nutritional edge.  You might say “What do you mean?”  Let me put it like this, when you eat a hamburger and fries for dinner I am pretty sure that is not going to kill you.  Eat a hamburger and fries everyday for 20 years and I am sure we can all agree that you are probably going to have some serious health issues.  Smoke 1 cigarette tomorrow and that probably won’t effect you at all.  Smoke a pack a day for 20 years and you might be walking around with an oxygen tank.  You smoke your cigarette and I drink my Shakeology.  We are both giving ourselves an edge but your edge is tipping the scale in the direction of bad health where I am tipping the health scale in my favor by giving myself something healthy instead of something that causes cancer.

What I am getting at here is our health will never be decided on just one day or one act that we do but instead it will be based on the little things that we do every day.  We need to understand this little concept and tip the scales in our favor.

Shakeology provides us with a simple and easy tool to help tip the healthy scale in our favor. Pour and shake and you are drinking pure nutrition in seconds. ( If you are making a tasty recipe then it might be minutes.)

I challenge anyone to take the list of Shakeology ingredients to their doctor and get his/her opinion on this breakthrough in nutrition. See what 100 doctors think about Shakeology.

Every day you have a choice.  What you need to ask yourself is which way you are going to tip the scale?
