Is Plexus for Men Too??

REAL Men Drink Pink!!

Linda Brendle:

My husband has been a Type II Diabetic for over 15 years. Over that time, he has steadily gained weight with me. His diabetic doctor has asked him to lose weight and his condition has deteriorated over time until Plexus. We started in mid-Feb. 2013. He has lost 20 pounds and his belt is three notches smaller. I have lost 15 pounds and 12 inches. But most importantly, I have a healthy husband who no longer requires any diabetic prescription medicine!! Within the first month of drinking the Plexus pink drink, he has eliminate the maximum diabetic meds. His testimonial: He was taking 4 of the 5mg Glyburide and 2 of the 1000mg Metformin in addition to heart medications and blood thinner. In the first week, he was going too low and had to start taking 1/2 pill less every few days until he no longer took any Glyburide! Next he started reducing the Metformin to only taking 500mg if needed. In the first month, he met with his Heart Doctor who was surprised by his positive change in health. Then with his Diabetes Doctor who was so surprised that he wrote a "prescription" for Plexus pink drink to my Healthcare FSA so I can claim Plexus in my Healthcare Flexible Spending Account. He wrote on the prescription: "Mr. Brendle's Diabetes and weight has improved on Plexus. He's been able to get off Glyburide and reduce his Metformin. I recommend he continue to take Plexus for his Diabetes". Dated 3-19-13. Within a few weeks, he takes no daily diabetic prescriptions. It is truly amazing and the improvement in health we and our daughter have realized are so apparent to folks. Each month just gets better and better!! Thank you, Plexus!

Down 27.5 Pounds!!

21.25 Inches GONE!!!

“Month 1: Plexus Slim / Accelerator combo

Month 2 : I added X Factor

Halfway through month 2: I added Biocleanse and Probio5.

These pictures are at July 10, 2014 and Oct 5 , 2014

I had actually started plexus on July 1.

It feels more amazing than it looks…..Plexus is so life changing it is unreal.

I have gone from 15 diet cokes a day to none.

I have gone from hitting the snooze button at 7am to hopping up at 5am without an alarm!

I have gone from having aches and pains to feeling like I can run through a wall

I can’t thank plexus and this amazing team enough!

The best part is: YOU CAN DO THIS TOO!!!

(and about that Diet Coke)…… Aug 2, 2014 was the last one I drank, and it tasted like poison.

First week I still drank 6 a day

Second week I was down to 3 or 4.

Third week I was drinking one in the morning.

By the end of the month I didn’t want one anymore.

Clint's Pleximony:

“My Plextimony is a little different than the ones you’re probably used to seeing floating around. I started my Plexus journey because my wife started taking it and well…I just really liked the taste of it. I didn’t have any weight to lose and I was actually trying to put on weight after getting down to a scrawny 163 lbs. For a man standing at 6’2”, that is very skinny. Overall I didn’t struggle with portion or craving control, and my blood pressure and cholesterol were just fine.

So I didn’t really NEED Plexus, right??

It all started out with that tasty little fruit-flavored pink drink. Plus she left these little Plexus packages laying all over the house. So naturally I drank it. One, sometimes two if I was thirsty, and even three on the days that my wife didn’t catch me. I liked the taste! Give me a break!

Anyway, after about a month of her taking the products and deciding to share Plexus with others, I was being dragged along to meeting after meeting about Plexus and hearing story after story about people getting better control over cravings, losing weight, kicking sugar and caffeine habits, and just improving their overall health. I mean, I loved the taste of it, and I did actually feel better and have increased energy when I had Plexus Slim on-board, but it didn’t compare to the weight loss and health testimonials that I was hearing at these meetings. Did it?

After hearing Plexus this and Plexus that for a few months, curiosity got the best of me and I caved and asked her if she thought I could benefit from the Plexus multivitamin. Well, of course she couldn’t throw the XFactor vitamins my way fast enough! She was excited that I was interested in more than just the taste of the drink! I even let her in on my thoughts about the pink drink, the energy I was feeling, the fact that I was sleeping better at night, and just feeling better overall. Maybe I should’ve kept that to myself because then she actually started making me talk at some of her meetings.

At the beginning of 2014 we both were feeling good enough that we wanted to start really working out. Now…this was very unusual for me for a few different reasons. i would always start out with good intentions and I wanted to support my wife on her health and fitness journey while she was dealing with her medical issues, but I would always fall short. I would either get discouraged because I couldn’t put on muscle or weight no matter how hard I tried, or I would just be so tired that I really couldn’t be bothered to waste what little energy I did have at the gym.

So in January when we made the commitment to working out and sticking with it, I truly didn’t see it going very far.

And then it happened.

In January we started back at Rivermarket Boot camp that we had been doing on and off for about a year. Before Plexus we would usually make it to a few classes and then before I knew it I was making excuses and saying “we’ll go tomorrow”. Well when we started back, this time was different. This time we completed the full 5 weeks, and it felt awesome!!!

In February we decided to make a commitment to working out twice a week with our trainer Bashay who owned the boot camp. Now, I wasn’t sure that I would actually stick with it because that’s not what I do but I can definitely say that this time was different. I WANTED to workout. WHAT?!

I felt good and now I wanted to LOOK good. I can definitely say that having my pink drink and my XFactor significantly impacted my workouts and my results. I was able to stick to a cleaner diet while working out and I knew that the pink drink was helping me burn fat instead of muscle. Not to mention the incredible energy that the XFactor gave me to get me through 2 hours of intense weight training.

Now we are coming up on a year of CONSISTENTLY working out at least 4 times a week, and I feel awesome and I’m even stronger than I was in my high school football days! And it is pretty neat getting to do this along side my wife and experience this journey together.

So for all of you out there that think this “little pink drink” is just for women, or that its all about weight loss, I’m here to tell you that you’re wrong. It’s about overall improved health and being able to feel good about yourself on the inside AND the outside!

The Plexus / Thyroid Connection

How Plexus can help your Thyroid Issues!!

Kristen Abart:

My team is FULL of thyroid stories! Full full full! My story is this: I did an INTENSE diet and regiment of supplements for 4 years in order to help my Hashimoto's. I worked with a great doctor AND nutritionist. My thyroid antibodies (autoimmunity) lowered through all of that and I healed slowly, and it took years (still very thankful for a good base). This is what they told me to do: balance blood sugar through diet, health the gut and kill candida, and consume good nutrients (and a lot of other things... but those 3 were foundational). There were some things that never got better, like hairloss (was still bad), and energy in the afternoons (non existent). When I started the Triplex my hair loss stopped, energy improved, and my regularity became like the good Lord CREATED it to be. Never knew. wow! Love it. My autoimmunity has continued to reduce (I check those numbers) and I am pretty much symptom free. Love it!

Laura Sagor:

I have a genetic thyroid weakness. My hypothyroidism was really bad for years until I found some herbs that helped tremendously before I ever heard of Plexus. Most if my symptoms on a daily basis were gone. However because it was a genetic weakness I had to be very careful about what I ate and what products I used because of anti thyroid components.

About 2 months into Tri-Plex I noticed that I could eat cabbage and not feel horrible the next couple of days! As time has gone on I havn't felt my thyroid symptoms for a long time except for a short term if what I believe was additional detox. Thanks to plexus I can now addraw cruciferous vegetables back into my diet!

And best of all so long as I take my plexus, eat and be active like someone trying to lose weight and drink my water, the lbs literally FALL off! I couldn't do that before Plexus!!!

Janet Salut:

I had thyroid cancer 10 years ago. My thyroid has been removed and I have been on synthroid since. At one point I was on 200 mcg. Before starting Plexus, I was on 125 mcg. I am now taking 100 and going in for blood work this week and I think it will be dropped again. I take Slim in the morning and ProBio5 and BioCleanse at night with my synthroid. I have used Block and XFactor, but am not currently. I plan to add XFactor back in soon. I have lost almost 25 pounds (slowly and not always steady). My tummy is being very stubborn, but I'm keeping at it! I have been using Plexus products since mid April 2014. Love Plexus!

Kara Ann Lindell:

I to did intense diet in hopes to help relieve my thyroid symptoms ( I have hypothyroid and I never thought I would truly heal just get to a better place). I ate raw and paleo, cut all caffeine, cut dairy, cut some leafy greens that are not great for thyroid issues, exercised and still felt awful and still gained weight. In rolls 2013 and my back was terrible and I saw Nici Saville Hinkel posts on pain management plexus products. I had seen the other posts but thought if I couldn't do it with my diet products wouldn't work either. So I started with fast relief and then in desperation tried the rest in hopes to lose weight before back surgery. What I got was so much more!! Total freedom fromthyroid symptoms. No more naps ( I was a slave to the nap. It controlled me!), no more extreme mood swings, my cycle had finally gotten back to normal, no more hair loss, health relationship with my hubs and kids, drive to do house work back, etc. I just feel so much better. Human again. Healed and whole. To say plexus saved my life is an understatement!!! I have been consistent and going strong since June 2013. Worth every penny.

Edith Brown Wittwer:

I had one side of my thyroid removed over 20 years ago (goiter) and the other side held up pretty good for about 15 years then it produced less. They stuck me on meds for it then they had to up the dose. 3months on Plexus fab 5 and I was able to go off my thyroid meds!!!

And here are some YouTube testimonials!!  Even more amazing!!

How Plexus Could Help Your PCOS / Endometriosis

Plexus Could Help!!

The testimonials are honestly endless as to how Plexus is helping people with many symptoms of endo and PCOS.

Testimonials on endo include: less pain, more stable cycle, better mood, better sleep and more energy.

Testimonials on PCOS: a period (sometimes for the first time in years!!), weight and fat loss, better sleep, more energy, improved hormonal symptoms, and improved mood.

Melody’s testimony: 

"Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is something that most would consider and think is reproductive parts issue, mainly because they have tried to conceive only to find out they have PCOS and unfortunately, many women are not given the proper information by their physician as to the cause and how to help at the root of the issue.

There are still many questions about PCOS and it’s origin, but as of now, according to Mayo Clinic, there are 3 causes: Insulin Resistance, Inflammation and Genetics. You are usually highly medicated and hope your body responds.

We were very blessed that having babies wasn’t an issue, although it was expected by my long time fertility endocrinologist (not to mention the blocked Fallopian Tube and “Advanced Maternal Age”) and the subject is very near & dear to my heart.

For me Plexus has been a gift. One that has kept me off medication, in better health than I was in my 20’s, and helping to prevent major issues that girls with PCOS deal with. I love that I have been able to achieve more than I ever could on a plant based product that I feel good about putting into my body!”

Vanessa say, “I finally got around to doing my measurements & since starting Plexus in January I have lost a total of 29 inches. My weight is down from 315.2lbs to 294.6 lbs. Energy levels are up, those funky headaches I use to get are gone and I’m a lil nicer now the list could go on. Best feeling of all having to pull up my pants/shorts cause they are falling. I also stopped taking the Provera in March that was to induce my cycles. Here I am 30 days later and I got my period I’m super excited!”

Kelli’s story:

 “3 years of trying, 2 miscarriages and 1 ectopic. Three years of trying was emotionally and physically draining. Being told you have PCOS during your ultrasound when you thought you would be seeing your baby. A little boy dreaming of becoming a big brother. Asking you when are you going to have a baby. Praying and praying for a sibling. He even made a song about it. Talk about heartbreaking for me as his mother who couldn’t make his dream come true. Crying to my husband every time I got my cycle each month. Getting the phone call your cousin is pregnant and being asked to reassure her everything was going to be okay. It was tough.

After trying for so long I decided I was going to let go and let God and focus on my overall health. In February 2014 my friend had posted about a product called Plexus. I saw what it was doing for her and others. So March 3rd to be exact I decided I was going to do this and if you know me then you know I jumped all in with both feet! I signed as an ambassador! I started out with Slim and accelerator+. Well then Boost was launched so I switched from accelerator+ to Boost. When I made that switch I noticed I was sleeping so much better! As soon as my head it the pillow I was out and I don’t know about you but when I don’t remember falling asleep, that is some good sleeping!

Okay, so now it’s June and I’ve decided (I couldn’t help it) I was ready to try again. I got off the boost and added xfactor. Slim and Xfactor! One of my favorite combos among many!

June 9th came and went. I called my cousin and told her I was days late. She convinced me to make an appointment and see what was going on. I did and saw my doctor the next day. They had me take a test and while we were talking to the doctor the nurse comes in and tells us “your pregnant!” We were in disbelief. I was only 4 weeks along so the next 10-12 weeks were very stressful.

Well we made it through the first, second and third trimester and were 4 days over due! But our rainbow baby is finally here and our little boy is now a big brother! We are Forever Blessed! Thank you Plexus and thank you Heather for sharing this amazing product with me!”

Christina’s story:

” I also have PCOS and Plexus has been a life changer for me.
My favorite plexus products are….Plexus slim, Probio5, Biocleanse and XFactor. I am also Hypo and IR. I am the type of cyster who would go without periods. Since being on Plexus; Periods have returned, I have more energy, blood sugar readings leveled out, sleep better without cpap, losing weight, I’m off acid reflux/migraine meds. I had extreme bloating before Plexus!!! It has totally helped with the awful cravings. It’s totally worth trying!!!! You’ll never know until you try it. Plexus gives you a 60 day money back guarantee!!”

Kristen’s testimony:

“I have PCOS and I actually miscarried (devastating and more so because I didn’t know why it happened) because of it not too long ago and at that time didn’t know it was because of PCOS. Once I had my annual at my GYN a little over a week ago and he ran some tests we figured out and confirmed with an ultrasound what was causing my problems. I was even more devastated to be honest. BUT the first thing that came to my mind was a post I had seen on an ambassador’s Facebook page about a lady that conceived and became healthy with the help of Plexus. It gave me hope and after days of research about PCOS, the typical treatments for it I didn’t feel much better in fact I felt worse about how my situation may or may not work out for me to have a baby with my new husband. Then I started reading testimony after testimony about how Plexus has helped many many women get rid of PCOS and helped other conceive because they had gotten healthy! I felt empowered and inspired not sad and helpless anymore. I’ve ordered my first round of products and even signed up to become an ambassador myself because I know that there are women out there that are feeling lost and just as devastated as I was, and I know that if I share my own story that I can help others just as I was helped. I don’t see it as anyone trying to make money off of us sad infertile women. I see Plexus as a blessing and the answer to my prayers. I know that other women in my situation would see it the same way because there’s no greater motivation than to be able to have a baby when you’ve been told that you can’t or most likely won’t

be able to without hormone replacement therapy, diabetic meds, expensive fertility treatments, etc. Keep on sharing what Plexus can do because Plexus is the light at the end of the infertility tunnel for me and for many other women!”

Tiffany says: “I never thought I would be so happy to start my cycle! After not having a cycle for 9 months except with the help of Provera, I started today! I’ve been on Triplex since the end of January but added X factor this month and bam…I’m one step closer to having a baby!”

Headaches and Stress and ADHD...oh my!!

Time for the Doctor...AGAIN.

Stress?  Who has stress?  If you could have seen me...eyes bugged out, teeth clenched, often holding back tears.  My year was not actually THAT bad, but with Anxiety Disorder, everything seemed 10 times as bad as it really was.  

Here's a basic rundown: My middle boy (Boss Man) started having troubles in school.  He was constantly in trouble.  He couldn't sit still, he couldn't keep his hands to himself.  He was diagnosed with ADHD first.  Three months later came the Sensory Processing Disorder diagnosis.  Two months after that?  Anxiety.  We finally got all of his medications regulated, but it was a rollercoaster.

My youngest boy (Mini Boss) was next.  First came the Sensory Processing Disorder diagnosis.  Then the assumption that he too has ADHD (of course, too young to medicate).  Then came the night terrors and separation anxiety.  

We decided it was time for the experts.  After taking them to two pediatric behavioral psychiatrists, one of which specialized in ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), we got the diagnoses.  Boss Man - 96% chance of Aspergers.  Mini Boss - borderline ASD.  

The toughest part about all of this?  We live in a city without the resources needed to help these little guys.  Boss Man is in a class with 25 other kids, and a gym class with 65 others.  Not easy.

Basically, I was a wreck. I could hold it all together most of the time (I did a good job hiding it in school, and pretending nothing was wrong in front of the kids) but it was starting to build up. The worst part about it was my irritability. I was snapping at my own children. I was snapping at my husband. I wasn't being a very nice Mom or wife.

Another bad part about this stress? I had headaches EVERY DAY. Literally every day. (And yes, I know how to correctly use the word literally.) It was to the point where DH (Dear Husband) wanted me to go get an MRI...but I was resistant.

Again, we fast forward.  After 3 weeks on Plexus, I was relaxed. I started to not sweat the small stuff. New diagnosis? No problem. We got this. I am a GOOD MOTHER. First time I ever believed that statement. Report cards? Kids not meeting benchmark? No big deal.  I have more than 4 months to get them there. Let's work on their needs. Again, I have never felt this confident and positive before!

And the headaches? Not just reduced...GONE! Since I started Plexus almost two months ago, I have only had 2 headaches, and they were both sinus related! I am SO thankful.

If you would like more info, please email me at powerofx04@gmail.com ...You won't regret it! 

Anxiety Girl

WHY are they always talking about ME?

Have you ever walked by some friends and they glance at you, but keep talking?  Normal, right?  I never thought so.  I wanted to know what I did wrong.  What were they saying about me?  Why didn't they stop and talk to me?  I wonder why they feel this way about me...  

I have felt this way for as long as I can remember.  I didn't get the Anxiety diagnosis until I was 24 years old, however.  Xanax became my best friend.  I had good days, where I only needed after work.  On my best days, I only needed it to sleep.  I didn't like what it did to me though.  Don't get me wrong, I felt great!  I wasn't nervous, I wasn't stressed out, I didn't care what people thought of me...but that's just it.  I didn't CARE.  I didn't care at all.  About anything. 

Fast forward to my 30s.  As a kindergarten teacher, I had my share of stress.  Included in that stress was the basic elimination of tenure, and the addition of "meeting data" as part of our evaluation.  In a Title 1 school, having kindergarteners meet "common core" benchmarks can be a challenge.  Another challenge is the moral dilemma.  Do I take my "needed" medication in the AM before I work and feel less anxious?  Or do I skip it, be more "on my game," but get irritated by everything in sight?  It was not a fun time.

Fast forward to 2015.  After "giving in" to my friend's Plexus posts and starting my regimen, I am finally MED FREE!!  My need for Xanax has fluctuated up and down for years, but I am SO happy to report that I no longer need it.  AT ALL!!  Not even to get to sleep.  This could be you!

The Phases of Choosing Better Health

My Beginning Phases of Plexus​

• Phase 1: My Plexus journey started about a year ago, if you truly think about it.  It started by IGNORING people I trust.  I saw the posts, I read the testimonials, and I scrolled right past.  I even became annoyed and irritated at them.  I did this for TEN MONTHS.  Until one day, my friend offered a free sample.  Mind you, it was a one day sample.  What can happen in one day, right?  So I tried it. I did feel more energy, but not much else...so I thought that was the end of my journey.  What could all this hype be about?
• Phase 2: My friend contacted me about a week later to ask me what I thought of her pink drink.  What did I think of it?  It gave me energy, that's about it.  She persisted.  "Shannon, you have to give it a little more time.  I can sell you a week's worth of products for $30.  What have you got to lose?"  I gave in.  I could blow $30 on junk dinner for the family, I might as well try it.
• Phase 3: The week trial.  After 3 days, I had to stop drinking so much diet soda...it didn't taste that great, and I already had plenty of energy.  After 6 days, my chronic headaches were GONE.  I was sold.  I ordered a month worth of Slim and Accelerator.  I knew I was on my way to better health.
• Phase 4: Oh no!!!  I was OUT of Plexus.  I ordered more, but it hadn't come yet.  Oh, man.  I felt terrible.  My headaches came back, my energy dwindled, I was craving Diet soda again.
• Phase 5: Back on Plexus.  After 2 more weeks, not only were my headaches and cravings gone again, so was my Anxiety!  I have dealt  with Generalized Anxiety Disorder for years, and every day is a struggle (look for "Anxiety Girl" to read more).
• Phase 6: Decide to try the rest of the products.  I am currently taking Slim, Accelerator, Block, Biocleanse, XFactor, MegaX, and Probio5.  I could NOT be happier!!  I feel better than I have in YEARS!!
