Be an Inspiration to Others- Follow Your Dreams

Be an Inspiration to Others- Follow Your Dreams

Today I stumbled upon the story below of Ernestine Shepherd and her quest to be in the Guinness World of Records as the oldest female body builder, and I thought about MY dreams over my lifetime. I am only days from turning 60 and realized if Ernestine can accomplish HER dreams at a ripe age of 80, then surely I can as well. It got me thinking!

Other than business goals there is only time I set a goal that I was 100% dedicated to was when I was turning 30 years old. (Other goals I may have given 90-98%, but never 100%. I was working at a local fitness center in sales and inspired by several people, with mediocre genetics, who joined the gym, began to eat a clean diet, train with free weights and then compete in a local Vermont body building competition.

I was in pretty decent shape when I turned 30 but dedicated myself to 12 weeks of FOCUSING on my goal….not for anyone else, but for ME. To prove to myself that I could still be athletic, competitive and in shape, after giving birth to a son and a daughter. I told few people because I didn’t want to hear anything negative or have me doubt what I was looking to accomplish. in fact, I didn’t even tell my parents who lived in the same community as I did.

When you are dedicated to a goal you can move mountains!

I stayed true to my goal, even though it wasn’t always easy and I proved to myself that I had the discipline needed to stick with it. I only wanted to compete one time and I was blessed to take first place in my weight category, which believe it or not, was Heavy Weight. (Imagine 122 lbs. being Heavy Weight? But that was way before female body building became popular among the masses and you didn’t have to have a lot of muscle, like you have to today!) I weighed in at 122 pounds and 8.5% body fat.

Today, I got re-inspired by the story below, not to compete, but to set a goal for my health, for the new decade I am about to embark into (6th decade) ! Thanks Ernestine, you have inspired one more person today by being an example of what is possible.

I hope you are inspired by her story.

“Tavala Control”- New Breakthrough in Normalizing Blood Sugar

I began to research natural ways to normalize blood sugar levels and came upon this article by Moss Green on a website “on Common Sense Health”. With the rise of diabetes and blood sugar imbalances in our society I thought it was worth sharing this info. In addition, there is a brand new BREAKTHROUGH product, from a company called TAVALA, that is making it easier to normalize blood sugar and create a healthy balance in the body. Rightfully named CONTROL as it helps you take CONTROL of your Blood Sugar. Control can also be used as a companion product with TRIM, to make it a complete Weight Management Duo!

What Is Tavala Control?

 

How to Control Blood Sugar Naturally by Moss Green

Although blood sugar control is made to appear complicated, it’s usually simple.

And with diabetes skyrocketing, knowing how to control blood sugar naturally is vitally important to your health and well-being.

What is blood sugar anyway? Simply put, blood sugar (glucose) is the fuel that feeds your brain, nervous system and body tissues. And maintaining healthy blood sugar levels is essential to your mind, body and health.

And while you need glucose, most people’s blood sugar is out of control.

Even though a healthy body can make glucose from protein and fats, your blood sugar levels are mainly based on your carbohydrate consumption. Normal blood sugar levels fluctuate between 80 and140 mg/dL.

Control Blood Sugar to Avoid Diabetes

Maintaining normal blood sugar levels is essential if you want to reverse or avoid diabetes. But diabetes and heart disease are so closely related that you need to take both of these diseases into consideration.

Diabetics have a 400% higher risk for heart attack or stroke. And cardiovascular disease hits earlier in life and is more likely to end in death for a diabetic.

Many people with diabetes and prediabetes take medications that control their blood sugar levels, but don’t change their diet and lifestyle to both control blood sugar naturally AND prevent heart disease.

Yet high blood pressure contributes to many diabetes complications and 80% of diabetics die from circulation problems like heart failure.

This is why making natural healthy lifestyle changes are so important.

These 10 natural steps to control blood sugar will also improve blood pressure and help protect you from circulation and artery diseases.

  1. Exercise for 30+ minutes a day. Physical activity helps control blood sugar, your sensitivity to insulin and is important for healthy weight management. Include both aerobic exercise and weight training.
  2. Eat a healthy low glycemic diet. High glycemic carbs that move sugar rapidly into the blood are the main culprits for both hypoglycemia and diabetes. A healthy low glycemic diet is the answer.
  3. Get plenty of high fiber foods. Fiber helps keep blood sugar levels steady and decreases heart disease risk. Get at least 30 to 40 grams of high fiber daily from the healthy list of high fiber foods.
  4. Switch to 100% whole grains. Studies show whole grains reduce diabetes risk and help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
  5. Avoid high blood sugar foods. Replace all refined carbohydrates with healthy carbohydrates and limit caffeine and alcohol, which both interfere with your body’s ability to normalize blood sugar levels.
  6. Eat good fat and avoid bad fats. Follow a heart healthy diet that’s low in saturated and trans food fat and high in omega 3 fish oil.
  7. Have 4 to 6 small meals a day. Eating small mini-meals frequently on a regular schedule helps to stabilize your blood sugar levels.
  8. Include protein with every meal. Protein also stabilizes blood sugar, so include a small amount of high protein with each meal.
  9. Practice weight management. When combined with regular exercise, even a little healthy weight loss can vastly improve your odds. Overweight people who lost just 5 to 10% of their initial body weight were shown to have reduced their risk of developing diabetes by 58%.
  10. Include quality supplements. Make sure you get 200 micrograms GTF chromium, extra vitamin C with bioflavonoids and B complex, along with a complete profile of nutritional health supplements. In addition, and this is me, JOY, adding my 2 cents here. What I have witnessed with people taking Tavala’s product “CONTROL” is that within days their blood sugar has improved! That’s how to control blood sugar levels to avoid diabetes. So do it!

How can you get Tavala CONTROL? Simply go to www.DaveandJoy.com and click on Products. There you will see CONTROL, as well as it’s companion product called TRIM. If weight loss is a goal as well as normalizing blood sugar, we suggest taking both together.

A 28-day supply of CONTROL costs $54.99. Consumers can purchase as Customers or as Members, the price is the same. There are 84 capsules in CONTROL, and you will take 3 capsules every morning.

If you have any serious health complications, as always check with your physician before adding any supplement to your diet.

Does Tavala Trim Work for Energy & Weight Loss?

Does Tavala Trim Work for Energy & Weight Loss?

In November I received a phone call from a friend whom I trust. He was wondering if my husband and I would be interested in trying a new product that his company had recently launched. He was not pitching me on his company or product but honestly wanted our opinion and feedback. Since we have been visible and successful in network marketing we get calls like this often, but there was something about the way we were INVITED to take a look and sample the product, that was honoring and authentic….so we reluctantly said “Sure, send us a Free 7-Day Sample” and we’ll let you know what we think.”

The more I thought about the product, Tavala Trim, the more excited I got to try it as it was during the holiday season and I figured I could use all the help I could get to NOT gain weight between Thanksgiving and New Years. Plus the Ketogenic program I had been on for over a year was NOT working….and I needed help in dropping weight I have gained since menopause.

Due to Thanksgiving the samples arrived a couple of days later than expected and I remember being ANXIOUSLY EXCITED during that weight. Hmmmm, it had been a while since a product had me excited and I found I was getting impatient waiting for our samples to arrive.

When we received our packages in the mail we were VERY impressed with the presentation.

The 7-Day samples were in a beautiful gold envelope – and the interior with the dark purple print looked very ROYAL. I could see the company took pride on the presentation and branding!

The interior opened up with a pocket for the 7 individual samples and instructions on how to use the product for best results. (Simply add content of each pouch to 12-16 ounces of water).

There are products on the market that have a ‘sweet presentation’ but taste horrible or simply do not deliver the results they advertise. I have to say we were VERY impressed with our first experience.

Day 1 we took a full serving size, and since have recommended to people that if they have any sensitivities to natural stimulants, to start with 1/2 package day 1. Within 15 minutes both Dave and I felt more energy- which in a ‘microwave society of wanting a quick fix’ was impressive. Who can’t use a little boost of natural energy or a little more focus, no to mention a boost in metabolism.

The next thing we noticed as the day progressed is we had ZERO hunger….and ZERO cravings. We drank a lot more water throughout the day (good benefit) and the energy boost sustained through the entire day. I am sensitive to most things that offer energy but this was different. It was an even-keel energy that had no crash effects. I slept well that night as well.

Our enjoyment of the product prompted a conversation with our friend and we began to share samples freely with our friends who we thought would appreciate the benefits we were experiencing with the Tavala Trim. To our delight, over 1/2 the people I personally messaged on Facebook or called, wanted to try a sample!!!!!

Flash forward 3 weeks and approximately 30% of the people who have actually opened and tried their samples have become customers or members. That is a HIGH percentage and I know with correct follow up it will improve to the 50% mark…. NOT because I am a good sales person- but because people are LOVING the TAVLA TRIM. What I also love is customers and members pay the same price, and their is No Joining Fee. This allows people to enjoy this product at their own pace, with no pressure.

Don’t take MY word (or the people who shared the below testimonials) give Tavala Trim a Try.

“I like it.. (Tavala Trim) I have great energy w/o the crash. I’ll stay informed via your Facebook page. I’ll order some soon. Cheers!” M.O.

“A friend’s husband drives Fed. Ex trucks and is using the Tavala Trim to help with energy and focus – rather than relying on unhealthy energy drinks or coffee throughout the night.”

“Day 2 I attended a Christmas Party and was among all kinds of sweets and treats. I was totally in control of my eating and I know the Tavala Trim was the reason! I enjoyed looking at the food but had no desire to binge, like I usually do. I have already dropped a couple of pounds.” D.J.

“I am down to only 1 coffee a day- no need to have my afternoon Starbucks to pull me out of my afternoon slump. I am loving the Tavala Trim AND it tastes good!” J.W.

“We moved on Saturday and I drank the Tavala Trim around 10:30 in the morning. I had so much energy throughout the day- settled into our house late and night and had NO hunger throughout the day. I had a shake for dinner and can tell, in only 5 days I have lost inches and my clothes are getting baggier.” D.E.

“A friend has been using the Tavala Trim for 4 weeks and has lost 20 pounds. This is the only thing they have been doing different…. this works!!!” G.H.

“Down 12 lbs. in 2 weeks”…and this is BEFORE the New Year. Tavala Trim Works!

…..and the feedback that we are getting DAILY exceeds those above.

We are looking for LEADERS to join our team. If that is you, Please contact us with a time that is good for you to see if what we have with TAVALA is the right fit for you.
