On the surface, you probably don’t look like you have changed much, but you have.  Think about how good you already feel.  Here are some of the reports we are hearing after just 4 1/2 days:

“I was drinking a pot of coffee everyday and I GAVE UP Coffee!”

“I never make it to the gym this much.  I am lucky if I fit it in 2 or 3 times a week .  I have gone everyday so far.”

“I got my wedding ring on again- no more puffy hands.”

“I was making cookies with my kids and I accidentally licked the batter spoon and had to run to the trash to spit it out. lol This is great!”

“I could button my pants today without jumping.”

These are all good reasons to Stick with IT!  Today you are probably feeling like things are getting easier.  Today, is just another Day, but it’s really much more than that. It’s Official Day 6 of the Challenge (Remember that we took 6 Days to prepare.) and we are half way to our goal. If you are following an Isagenix Program it is a Shake Day.

Today, you’re working on removing the barriers that have prevented you from experiencing good health in the past.

Since you’ve been Eating Right or following the Isagenix 9 Day System, your body has been nourished with vital nutrients to strengthen your body from the inside out. You have also been giving your body enough rest, enough to drink and you have been exercising!  Congratulations!

So, what else have you been doing?
Think about this: Over-farming, pesticides and processed foods have created an incredible burden on our health. If a body isn’t receiving the nutrients it needs, it will attempt to get more nutrients by triggering food cravings and hunger pangs. This can lead to overeating, which in turn contributes to obesity and poor health.

The nutrients found in the Isagenix® products bridge the gap between the low level nutrition found in regular food and the high level necessary to attain optimum health. With each Shake and Cleanse Day, you are providing your body with nutrients designed to help you achieve the best health possible. You are retraining your body to be hungry only when it requires nutrition.

Here’s a little bit more information:  Research shows that a reduced-calorie diet high in nutrients helps people lose weight and live longer and now recent studies show nutritional cleansing can also help.

Both of the pilot trials showed positive results and attested to the efficacy of IsaLean Shake and Cleanse for Life for supporting adults with healthy weight loss, maintaining healthy lipid profiles, and feel better about their weight, health and energy levels.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  Why didn’t these studies report measures other than those for healthy weight loss—body composition and lipid profiles?

A. We chose to evaluate the impact of our programs on these parameters since these type of data would help provide Proof of Concept, or further substantiation of our efficacy as sought by the FDA and the FTC. Please be aware that successful weight management not only reduces risks of various disease by normalizaing plasma lipids and reducing abdominal fat, but also, with our products, alleviates both undernourishment and exposure to stored toxins. 

As a person loses weight, toxins stored in adipose tissue are also released as the fat cell shrinks. These molecules must be transferred  to the liver where the detoxifying enzymes makes them water-soluble so they can be excreted in the urine or bile.

(THIS IS SO COOL AND WHY CLEANSING IS THE MISSING LINK IN MOST DIETS!)

Isagenix seeks to help solve weight management, undernourishment and toxicity with its programs—IsaLean Shake and Cleanse for Life are not only excellent for lowering caloric intake for weight management, but provides a tasty, nutrient-dense food  designed  to maximize nutrition and provide supportive botanicals that promote natural cleansing and detoxification in the body.

Q. Both studies showed  significant decreases in plasma lipids, yet we are not allowed to claim “cholesterol lowering”. How come?

A.  Scientists discuss results that were obtained. They are not marketing their results and, therefore, must describe the data they have. Companies selling dietary supplements are not allowed to say their products can “lower cholesterol” or affect other plasma lipid biomarkers because FDA deems those as drug claims.

Q. Who funded these studies and where were they conducted?

A. Isagenix funded both studies and each were conducted at New York Chiropractic College  where Dr. Balliett was the Principal Investigator and Dean of the Basic Sciences Department.  Isagenix proactively searched for a university who could conduct these studies according to Good Clinical Practice, get Institutional Review Board approval and have the clinical expertise to run a nutrition study on weight loss and body composition.

Dr. Balliett became interested in Isagenix through her students and eventually was appointed to our Technical Advisory Board (TAB). As a member of the TAB, she remains an impartial resource who does not distribute Isagenix products.

Q. Does Isagenix plan to perform more research with New York Chiropractic College and other universities?

A. Yes, Isagenix is actively engaged in assessing the needs for more  clinical studies that may further support the efficacy and safety of our products.

Q. Have there been any clinical studies performed by independent parties that have not been funded by Isagenix?

A. We are not aware of any researchers who have studied our products in clinical trials. It is not typical for medical researchers to study products from private industry if not properly funded.

Q. Why hasn’t Isagenix funded medical doctors to perform their research?

A. Studies for dietary supplements and foods are best conducted by experts in the field. Sometimes that may be a professor with a medical degree, but most often these type of studies are best done with Ph.D.s at universities or contract research firms who have expertise in weight loss. Federally funded organizations such as National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, etc. do not necessarily wish to support research on products from private industry, particularly if  the studies are not mechanistic or related to diseases. Thus, it is up to individual companies to set aside research dollars to conduct third-party research. That is not to say we would not find a partner at a medical school to conduct research, but it would still have to be funded by us.

Have a great day!

As a Physical Therapist in Northern Colorado where health is on the minds of many people,  I am seeing more and more chronic illnesses,  more illnesses affecting people at younger ages, and people desperately wanting to lose weight.  We owe it to ourselves to be diligent about what we eat, what we purchase, what we bring into our homes, and how our actions are affecting our environment.  And we owe it to ourselves to find safe ways to rid our bodies of harmful impurities.

To  help protect us from things in our environment that we are unable to control I have embraced a safe and effective lifestyle using the Isagenix system.  I feel it is the best way to help my families immune system. We are very thankful for having been introduced to the system that Isagenix has so brilliantly designed.

My thoughts (John Anderson the Formulator and founder of Isagenix) are based on the ingredient function and how the nutrients affect the body.

However, Isagenix marketing department have printed ways to compromise in cases where some people think they can’t do the systems with such strong regimes.

This is not always wrong, many benefit from taking Isagenix to fit their schedules, ease the pressure of feeling they cheated, etc. Maybe these instructions do slow down the results but they are better than giving up.

The JA WAY is my way of educating people how to succeed faster and get the biggest bang for their buck.

In reading the instructions, I find that eating eggs, salads, and other food snacks are perfectly acceptable. There are many who mentally think they need the extra food to survive. In these cases, the relaxed way of adding Isagenix is better than not at all.

I am retired, yes, the literature did change, but the fact is Isagenix is still the number one Cleansing company in the world.

Confusing the consumer is not a good idea, too many fingers are in the pot resulting in mixed questions.
I suggest if you share my original way of consuming the system, you share it by simply suggesting the option.

I conducted the first study of 242 people who were ages 18 to 75, male and female, and all volunteered to follow the regime exactly as requested.

This study was conducted based on the results of approximately 10 others who had incredible results including me.

The result was as follows;
Most everyone reported more energy,
clarity of mind, some reported better eye sight,
slept better than in years,
All reported inches loss,
AND, the average weight loss in all subjects was 15.8 pounds in 9 days.

I knew this had to be shared with the world and quickly founded Isagenix. Jim and Kathy became my Co-Founders. We had a mission!

The point is, these results are not enjoyed today because the regime has changed. Never the less, people do get results, just not so dramatic as the original regime was.

Share this and let people choose their path, there are many benefits to both ways.

Happy Cleansing

John

I have been a user of Isagenix products for over 3 years now.  Since then, Isagenix has reformulated the shakes three times.  My favorite flavor has always been the chocolate although I may be changing my mind after using the new Natural Creamy Vanilla.  So first, lets talk chocolate.

In my opinion the taste of the new Natural Creamy Chocolate is not better or worse it is just different.  To me it tastes more like coco.  What I mean is it reminds me of the taste of hot chocolate only in a cold delicious shake.  So who doesn’t like the taste of hot chocolate?

Now I never was a fan of the old vanilla shake.  To me it had a banana taste that did not appeal to me.  However, the new Natural Creamy Vanilla is nothing but vanilla.  I love it so much I find myself drinking it more often than my old chocolate favorite.  My husband even had me switch his auto-ship from chocolate to vanilla.  For those of you who like bananas go ahead and add a banana or your other favorite fruit to your shake.

Now both the shakes are more thick and creamy than the old ones.  But the most important thing is that they are healthier.

New shake includes:

• 23 grams of the highest quality whey and casein protein and a superior amino acid complex that helps you maintain and build lean body mass.*
• Lower lactose levels for easier digestion.
• Ionic Alfalfa, Isagenix’s exclusive blend of over 70 supercharged trace minerals to keep your body running at peak performance.
• Only 240 calories and 6 grams of fat per shake.  It’s the perfect high nutrition food that costs less than $3 per meal.**
• Clinically proven to support weight loss and weight management.***

***Based on a university study where shakes replaced two meals each day for seven days resulted in greater weight loss and an increase in lean body mass in comparison to our previous shake.  For maximum results, take Isagenix shakes as part of a complete Isagenix system.

Body Cleansing: A Better Approach to Health & Weight Loss
Who Does Not Want a Slimmer, Healthier Body?
Overeating, eating the wrong kind of foods, lack of exercise, stress and family genetics can all have an impact on health and our ability to maintain a healthy weight.

Household chemicals and cosmetics may also be a factor.
