It’s easy! Kindergarten work you might say!
Simply draw a line from the toxic ingredient on the top to the household cleaning product on the bottom that contains it.

Fortunately they are the easiest to replace! Don’t take unnecessary risks!
Become an aware consumer. There are many safe products on the market.
All you have to do is CHANGE brands of products. Buy your products from a reliable wellness company you trust.

WELCOME TO Gina's Health Tips



My interest in Health started about 23 years ago. I have three children, one girl and two boys, who at the time, were still very young and in elementary school. My youngest son, who was starting kindergarten, was diagnosed with ADHD. I didn't want to start him on the drugs that the doctors wanted to prescribe because of all the horrible side effects, so I started researching nutrition. During this time my cousins became Shaklee Independent Distributors. They, of course, were very excited to share their new found passion with all their friends and family, and when they told me about Shaklee, and how they were the number one natural nutrition company in the country, about the science, and commitment to excellent behind each product, I had to sign up. I started my son right away on an organic diet and Shaklee supplements. Well it worked! Within a few days I started see a difference, and within a few weeks, he was a totally calm and focused child. Fast forward 23 years later, 7 grandchildren, a divorce and needing to supplement my income, I decided to look into work at home companies and after looking at many different types and business plans, I found that Shaklee once again, just couldn't be beat. In my first month, I received a check.

Let's start with the products. They're spectacular! - Pure, potent and proven to work. Our Nutrition, Weight Management, Home Care and Personal Care products carry a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. In an independent groundbreaking study at the University of California Berkeley of long-term dietary supplement users showed that people who took Shaklee supplements had markedly better health than both multivitamin and non-supplement users alike. When a product is this good, you can't help but share it with everyone you know. And that makes Shaklee products the perfect foundation for an amazing income opportunity.

The latest Shaklee innovation is Vivix™ Cellular Anti-Aging Tonic dietary supplement. It's the most exciting example we've seen of a product that can truly help you create a limitless stream of income. And with the Tru-Infinity™ bonus program, the fifth way to earn in Shaklee - our ability to earn just got infinitely more exciting.

Beginning a home-based business in Shaklee is the smartest move I ever made. I now have the ability to control my own destiny, determine my own priorities, set goals and achieve them, advance and increase my own income based on what's important to me. And everything I do to achieve my own goals helps someone else achieve theirs. We do well, by doing well. It's the most satisfying approach to earning an income I've ever known.

But I didn't come to this conclusion and make a decision without a few questions. I expect you probably have some too.

Looking for Health? Freedom? Or Both!

I'd welcome the chance to talk with you about your situation, find out what you're looking for - health, freedom, or both - and see if this is right for you. So "Contact Me" and let me know if I can help!

Best Athletes Choose Shaklee



Best Athletes Choose Shaklee


Here at Shaklee and NH PureLife, I have come to the conclusion that one company outshines all others for those in the FITNESS world! I wanted to share with you some stories and some highlights of how so many Olympic medalists and award winning athletes have chosen SHAKLEE!
Shaklee Corporation has pioneered the practice of studying the diets of elite athletes and testing products to help make landmark expeditions and record-breaking achievements possible. This research has translated into dietary recommendations and high performance nutritional products for elite athletes and explorers as well as recreational athletes.

 Shaklee powered athletes have taken home 31 Olympic Medals including 17 Gold Medals. In fact, 8 of Time-Life’s “25 Great Adventures of All Time” were powered by Shaklee Products. Notable Achievements by world explorers include:
Mount Everest Expeditions
Shaklee has helped a number of record-breaking Everest expeditions reach the top of the world, including the first American to scale the mountain without supplemental oxygen.

Steger International Polar Expedition & Trans Antarctica Expedition
Shaklee has been a part of Will Steger’s history-making expeditions for over a decade. The company provided nutritional products and expertise to the first team to reach the North Pole without resupply in 1986. Steger and his seven teammates supplemented the high-protein, high-fat rations of traditional Arctic exploration with Shaklee multivitamins and soup. The explorers used Shaklee Energy Bars to keep them going when they could not stop for a midday meal. Shaklee was the “Official Sponsor of High Energy Foods” for the TransAntarctica Expedition, the first unmechanized traverse of Antarctica.

International Arctic Project
In their three month, 1,000-mile traverse of the Canadian Arctic in the spring of 1995, members of the International Arctic Project, supported by Shaklee nutrition, kept detailed logs of their food and fluid intake as well as their activity and mood/energy states for the first official dietary study of Arctic explorers. Children around the world followed the team throughout their trek via daily e-mail updates from Will Steger.
Solo From The Pole
In 1997, Will Steger made a dramatic attempt to be the first individual ever to go solo from the North Pole. The trek was conducted without the benefit of resupply or sled dogs, with Steger hauling a canoe-sled by a specifically designed harness. Shaklee scientists and nutritionists created a diet and exercise program specifically tailored to this arduous excursion.
  
Jacques Cousteau’s Calypso & Alcyon expeditions
During both the Alcyon and Calypso Expeditions, Shaklee served as the nutritional advisor for Jacque Cousteau and all of his divers.











Voyager Non-Stop Around The World Flight
In 1986, Shaklee served as the Official Nutrition Consultant to Jeana Yeager and Dick Rutan, pilots who powered the first nonstop airplane flight to circumnavigate the globe without refueling. Shaklee designed easy-open packaging for its energy bars and special lightweight powdered foods to meet the pilots’ needs during the ten-day Voyager flight.
The Daedalus Project

In 1998, Kanellos Kanopoulos had only one fuel for his record-breaking seventy-two mile human-powered flight from Crete to Santorini – the maximum endurance sports drink developed by Shaklee with Ethan Nadel of Yale University. Later marketed as Performance(r), it is now a leading product of Shaklee’s sports nutritional line. The drink’s mix of electrolytes and carbohydrates provided easy-to-absorb muscle fuel and quickly replaced the pilot’s lost fluids.
Winter Games
As the U.S. Speed Skating Team’s official product, Shaklee gives the team members the nutritional edge that helped them capture the gold at the 1992 Winter Games. The U.S. Luge Team was also supported by Shaklee nutrition.
At the 1988 Winter Games, the U.S. Curling Team, Men’s Freestyle skier Mat Chojnacki, and Shelly Looney, Forward on the US Women’s Hockey team, all counted on Shaklee Sports Nutrition to help them reach their peak in Nagano.
U.S. Ski & Snowboard Team
Shaklee served as the Official Nutrition Consultant to the U.S. Ski Team from 1980 to 1988. Shaklee nutritionists worked with the U.S. Ski Team to devise an optimum diet, with three key recommendations: trim fat from 38% down to 25-30% of the diet; boost carbohydrates from 46% to 55-60%; and replace the “empty calorie” snacks with more nutrient-filled choices such as fresh fruit, bread, vegetables and energy bars. In 1984, the U.S. Ski Team achieved their best results at an Olympic competition, winning five medals in Sarajevo. Bill Johnson was the first American man to win a gold medal in the downhill, and finished by Debbie Armstrong in first place and Cristin Cooper in second in the giant slalom.
In 2005, Shaklee is again the nutrition consultant to the U.S.S.A. for all their athletes.
“Shaklee products assist the U.S. Ski Team and U.S. Snowboarding athletes to train and compete in optimal condition. The products are a significant component of our sports nutrition program. Our United States Ski Association (U.S.S.A.) athletes train full time, compete six months of the year, and travel internationally. Our athletes overcome these challenges with help from Shaklee products: Vita Lea®, Performance®, Physique®, Immune Building Complex®, Gentle Sleep Complex®, Multi-Munch™, Meal Shakes, and Joint Health Complex®“ -Andy Walshe, Assistant Athletic Director, Sports Science U.S.S.A.

Summer Games
"I’ve been using Shaklee products for nearly all my life. My mother has been a Shaklee distributor for years. My favorite product is Shaklee Enfuselle Sunblock. When I train, I’m in the sun every day, so my skin take a beating. It protects me from harmful rays and keeps my skin looking young!”
Carla Overbeck, 2000 Olympic silver medalist & member of the Carolina Courage of the WUSA Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Both Team Shaklee riders and individual athletes from around the world were supported by Shaklee nutrition at the Atlanta Games in 1996. These included Phillippine boxers, Canadian rowers, six Team Shaklee cyclists and swimmers as well as Field Hockey and Badminton players from Malaysia. Individuals powered by Shaklee included Ruthie Bolton of the American Women’s Basketball Team, swimmer David Fox, marathoner Linda Somers and Judo champion Damon Keeve.
Team Shaklee members Jame Carney, Jonas Carney, Tayna Dubnicoff, Jim Fisher, Glen Mitchell and Eric Wohlberg, all competed at the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney, Australia.
Also competing under the Shaklee banner were mountain biker Ann Trombley, Paralympian Chris Wadell, long distance runner Breeda Willis, USA Soccer’s Carla Overbeck and the coach of the US Track & Field team. Plus Gary Hall Jr., Fastest swimmer in the world with 10 Olympic Medals.
“Shaklee is the key to our practice and recovery. Performance® is most helpful on aerobic days when practices can last 3 1/2 hours and without Physique®, I’d have a hard time maintaining the muscle mass I work so hard to build. Our daily routine also includes Vita-Lea, Energizing Soy Protein, CoQHeart®, B-Complex, CorEnergy®, Joint Health Complex®, and Immune Building Complex®-Gary Hall Jr.
“The off-season is when I train the hardest. I’m confident that Shaklee nutritional products and Enfuselle SPF 30 will help give me the ‘set-up’ I need to be successful next season.”-Elaine Youngs, Bronze Medalist USA Volleyball
“Although I was happy with my performance in the 2004 Games, I will expect even better results for the next time around. And the great nutritional foundation I get from Shaklee products will be there every step of the way.”- Nia Abdallah, Silver Medalist USA Taekwondo
Team Shaklee
Shaklee began sponsoring one of the nation’s top amateur cycling teams in 1988, an affiliation that lasted until the end of 2000. With the help of Shaklee and Shaklee products, Team Shaklee set over ten world records and sent four riders to the 1992 Olympic Games and six to both the 1996 Games in Atlanta and the 2000 Games in Sydney, Australia. The cyclists have been the subjects of dietary studies, testing Shaklee Performance sports drink in 1988 and aiding in the 1992 development of the Shaklee Carbo Crunch bar, an energy bar that delivers an ideal mix of carbohydrates, fat and protein as well as essential vitamins and minerals.
Shaklee nutritionists regularly consult with the riders, studying the cyclists’ diet records and blood tests to make nutritional recommendations. After detecting an iron deficiency in cyclist J-Me Carney in 1991, they reconstructed his diet and Carney went on to compete as part of the 1992 Olympic team. Kent Bostick, the 47 year-old who earned a berth on the 1996 Olympic Cycling Team, is a fabled proponent of Shaklee nutrition.
LPGA & PGA Golfers
“After 18 holes of fierce competition, a great-tasting Multi-Munch Energy Bar™ gives me the nutrition I need to re-energize for the next round. It’s my hole in one every time.”-Laura Diaz, LPGA Golfer
Top Golfers have been using Shaklee nutrition for quite some time to play their best, train harder, and recover faster. Notable athletes using their products include Annika Sorenstam, Laura Diaz, and several others.
Most golfers supplement regimen consists of Physique for post workout recovery, Performance for hydration, and meal bars bars on course and during play (because they don’t melt), joint health complex to prevent overuse and protect cartilage, and 180 meal replacment for travel.
Natural Body Building
“Clinically tested nutritional products. That’s why I take the products AND do the business.”-Bobby Brandenburg, All Natural Bodybuilder
Bobby Brandenburg has been involved in wellness, strength conditioning and coaching for more than 30 years. As a competitive bodybuilder since 1981, he has learned through personal experience, education and scientific studies how vital a healthy diet, exercise and food supplements are to people from all walks of life.
Bobby chooses to work with the Shaklee Corporation because of clinical research and testing performed on all nutritional products, ensuring their performance and safety.
Through this opportunity Bobby is able to share his nutritional education. He travels extensively throughout the East Coast speaking at seminars on wellness and sports nutrition.
Bobby believes 100% in the philosophy of obtaining optimal health and lives by two golden rules- “teach others” and “live in harmony with nature.”
His list of accomplishments is extensive including:
  • 1985 Atlantic Coast Championships, Lightweight Class 1st Place, 1st Place Overall
  • 1995 National Championships/N.Y.C., Masters Class 2nd Place
  • 1995 Maryland Open Championships, Masters Class 1st Place, Open Short Class 1st Place, and 1st Place Overall

As writer of this blog, for myself, “I’ve been using Shaklee products for over 24 years. I have three children, one girl and two boys, who at the time, were still very young and in elementary school. My youngest son, who was starting kindergarten, was diagnosed with ADHD. I did not want to start him on the drugs that the doctors wanted to prescribed, because of all the horrible side effects. So I started researching nutrition. During this time my cousins became Shaklee Independent Distributors. They, of course, were very excited to share their new found passion with all their friends and family, and when they told me about Shaklee, and how they were the number one nutrition company in the country, and about the science, and commitment to excellence behind each product, I had to sign up. Right away I started my son on a healthy and organic diet, and included this with the  Shaklee supplements. Well it worked! Within a few days I started to see a difference, and within a few weeks, he was a totally calm and focused child. His teachers all asked me if I had started him on the drug that the doctor had prescribe, because they saw such a dramatic change in him. I was so very proud to tell them, NO!
I truly and unequivocally believe that If a person is not on a strong Shaklee nutritional program, he/she is not coming close to optimizing his/her health. Consequently, that person is not optimizing his/her athletic performance.


Fast forward 24 years later, 10 grandchildren, a divorce and needing to supplement my income, I decided to look into building my own business, and after looking at the many different types and business plans, I found that Shaklee once again, just couldn't be beat. I was amazed that in my first month, I received a check. Wow!!
 

When it comes down to it, Shaklee really has only two products - health and freedom. It's hard to decide which one I love talking about more!
