Perhaps it sounds too simple, but it is my reply to many people when they ask “what can I do for _____?”
I reply “Are you following the Six Steps?”!!
It is my goal to share with others the SIX STEPS to balanced living. It is okay to take herbs, nutrients and remedies, and it’s great to exercise, but if these things are not done in BALANCE, you will not be getting the results you are working to achieve! And some people are just SO CONFUSED by the time they walk out of a health store, they don’t know where to start.
I encourage people to start with the basic things we need to build our cells – kind of like building a house! You get the raw materials you need to build it, and then the workers to put it together. You make sure the ground is clear, the area is prepared, and then you build. It is the same with our body: clean out the area in and around the cells so they can work unhindered, provide the basic raw materials the body needs to even make hormones, antibodies, and every living cell, and then make sure there are enough workers (enzymes) in the body to keep it all moving!!

Dr. Shaklee desired to give people products in harmony with nature. He wanted everyone to have the opportunity to experience optimal health, but he also wanted everyone to have the same financial opportunity. Dr. Shaklee did not believe that large corporations should get “all the money” when most of their referals came from happy consumers. He wanted a way to help people feel better, but also he wanted to give them the opportunity to live better. So instead of paying advertising to big companies, he designed the first business structure that allowed Shaklee to put more money into quality and research, and also gave money back to the people who deserved it. People like you and me, who are happy consumers of a product, and tell others about it. So, that’s how I found my healthy balance, both physically, and financially.
This is “My Story”
As with most people, I did not look into “natural health” until I was almost forced to! I had health issues that started me on a path of learning. When I was a teenager, I was put on Accutane for severe acne. A short time later, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s. I was told that I was at high risk for colon cancer by the age of 25. By this time, I had bronchitis every winter, and into my mid-twenties, I had pneumonia and mono several times. My health wasn’t on a very positive road!
I began to study nutrition, and completed a three year course, receiving a Diploma in Holistic Nutrition. I also researched and experimented with many different approaches to health, and did find improvement in my health. However, my immune system was still low. While I felt much better, I knew my health could still improve.
In 1997, I met Martha Willmore! She is a Wellness Coach who had lupus and leukemia. Like many who have been enlightened about natural health philosophies, she began what is now a 30- year career of teaching others. Martha taught me about synthetic, isolated and whole-food supplements, as well as environmental factors that interfere with our health. She introduced me to the quality supplements and wellness products
from Shaklee. I was sceptical. After researching the company, I tried the products. I had tried many things, but found the best and most consistant results with the quality supplements Shaklee offers. I am symptom free of any health issues that I had struggled with for years! I feel better now than ever before.
Like any happy consumer, I started sharing with others. I never meant to begin a business, but it happened! And now, I LOVE it. I am just one of many people who has to work to pay the bills…..but I really wanted to be doing something meaningful. Something I could feel good about. I wanted to make a difference. Shaklee gives me the opportunity to do good AND live well. If you would like to find out more about the opportunity Shaklee gives to you, go to the “join our team” link at www.goodandgreen.ca.
With Shaklee, I found a company that I am proud to represent, and feel safe to refer it to others. Shaklee goes above and beyond the industry standards, and they test every batch of multiple vitamin/mineral supplements 349 times to guarantee 100% potency and purity. Plus they make everything in a way that has NO HARMFUL effect on the environment, making them the first Climate Neutral company!
Health is more than just about taking a “pill”. It’s about lifestyle. Did you know that whatever is on your skin, either from detergent residue, lotions or make-up, is absorbed through your skin and into your blood within 90 seconds! YUCK! A lab technician could take your urine sample and tell you exactly what laundry detergent you use. Shaklee offers safe household cleaners that work better than conventional brands at a fraction of the cost. They give us paraben-free personal care, skin care and baby products. Try it. It won’t hurt you!
Operating Good and Green is my “full time” career. My mission is to help others design their foundational health program, through using the Six Steps Program.
A little note about this natural health industry: IT’S BUYER BEWARE!
When I was searching for ways to overcome health issues, I came across SO MUCH misinformation and confusing marketing. While searching for ways to become more involved in the natural health industry, I looked into owning a health store. The overhead was shocking, but even more shocking was the cost I could purchase the products for! The cost to purchase them was so low, and the mark-up was very high to cover all the costs of operating the store. I began to research companies to find out what their quality controls were, and I was disturbed. Quite honestly, it certainly is a “buyer beware” type of market.
