- Special Guests
>> It is a pleasure having you all in on the line tonight. I know that there are a lot of people joining us as of right now. And there are new people probably on the line that are brand new to Isagenix family. So welcome. Welcome to the Isagenix family. And for those of you who are listening in for — to hear what Isagenix is all about, special welcome to all of you as well. We’ve got three amazing guests on the line that will be sharing their story. But what I would like to do right now is just kind of give you a little bit of history on Isagenix. Where, you know, it came from. A little bit of our history and what I can tell you is that it has been an absolute joy watching this company grow from its infancy all the way up to present. My dad happens to be the founder along with Jim and Kathy Coover, co-founders. And these three individuals came out of retirement about eight years ago and put together an absolute amazing company called “Isagenix.”
And, you know, one of the questions that they get asked a lot is, “Why did you come out of retirement? I mean, why would you want to come out of retirement to start something like this?” And it was because that, you know, it really all be done with the conversation that my dad had, John had with Jim and Kathy and has been all visited. Jim asked my dad, you know, out of all of your years, 25 years of formulation, John did you, you know, have you found the fountain of youth? And you know, in — within that conversation it really was stated that the fountain of youth doesn’t lie with just one raw ingredient.
It is a bunch of different ingredients that are formulated to perfection that would create the fountain of youth. And so, you know, after giving it a little bit more thought, you know, with my dad, John and Jim and Kathy, my dad decided to formulate a 9-Day Cleanse. And it came out — he came back after, you know, this whole meeting that they had and he came back about 72 hours later with this brown paper sack and in it were canisters of the cleans, the shake, the snacks, and the natural accelerators. And so my dad and his fiance at the time, now wife, Cher, and then Jim and Kathy, they all four went on this 9-Day Cleanse. And they had absolute phenomenal results in the 9-Day. So much to where my dad said, “Boy, we better do a pilot study. We better figure out, you know, what the effects are gonna be on a number different people.” So that’s exactly what he did. He formulated about 250 kits. And my husband and I were actually one of the 250 that got one of those original pilot packs of kit. Again, we were all given the instructions to, you know, start the 9-Day Cleanse and to report back on day 10 after the 9 days has been completed and give the results. And so, you know, I couldn’t cleanse. I couldn’t do the products way back because I was still nursing our youngest baby. And so my husband was the guinea pig. And he started melting before my eyes, in that 9 day he released 15 pounds and 13 inches and he felt like a million bucks. And it was actually hard to keep up with him, with him wanting to clean our house. It is kind of funny and so about midway, so I called my dad and I said, “What is in this stuff? This is just as like tons of energy,” and I said, “Is this is have like stimulants?” And he said, “Nope.” And I said, “Well, you know, he’s loosing weight.” Yup, you know, my dad was like, “Yup, that’s exactly what should be happening.” And so — of course at the end of the 9 days, on day 10 I called my dad give him the results and he — and I was expecting them to be like, “Wow!”
But you know what? Every single one of those 250 people has almost identical results as Jeff. And so, you know, give or take a few pounds and inches here and there. And so, it was very interesting and of course that led to the next question that I asked him is, “Where are we gonna able to get this? Can we get this at GMC or Cusco or what are you gonna do with this product?” And that’s when he said that he put, you know, and Jim and Kathy have been talking. And rather than create an amazing system, you know, and put it on the shelf at GMC to where people would, you know, possibly pick it up and wonder what it was. He really felt that as life giving as those products were and as emotional and visual as those products were and delivering results to people on day 2 and 3. But they really belong in the hands of individuals who had experience with them. And rather than the company, you know, paying for advertising and paying to put in this, you know, GMC source around the globe, he decided to put in the hands of individuals and financially compensate them and that vehicle is network marketing. And what we’ve been able to accomplish in the last 7 years has made us almost a billion dollar company.
Last year alone we did about 250 million in sales. And why I like to share that figures because it was all word of mouth. It was people sharing it with people. And, you know, in the meantime, creating 40 millionaires. Tons of people, you know, hundreds of people earning 6 figures, multiple 6 figure incomes annually, these people making 5 figures annually setting themselves financially free. And really people making enough money to pay for their product. It’s really up to you but it’s been exciting and I know that the guests on the line tonight has had amazing experiences because of these products and I’m sure that their heart is filled, you know, knowing that my dad and Jim and Kathy chose to do this to provide the world with this amazing gift that we have. So first of all, I would love to introduce Jackie Maffei. And Jackie has been with Isagenix now. Gosh, Jackie how long has it been? Has it been 3 years?
>> Yes, just about 3 years.
>> Just about 3 years. She is a New Yorker and as you’re gonna be able hear that little accent as she speaks tonight. She is the owner of Zambetti’s which is a very successful and unique health food store that she actually helped patients and their doctors, you know, she gets involved and helps them work closely on their dietary needs. She has a staff of 15 which consist of culinary chef, cooks, and sales people. She has earned a beautiful multiple 6 figure income in Isagenix being a 3 Star Golden Circle, a 1 Star Crystal Executive. And the 1 Star Crystal Executive means that she’s helping other people earn money her own team. It really is a note of leadership. But she’s happily married. She is the mother of two. She’s the grandmother of two little boys and we’re grateful that you can be with us tonight Jackie. So welcome to the call.
>> Thank you very much Kjersti. Thank you so much. I’m really very proud to be with Isagenix. It’s a unique company that really does change people’s lives for the better and mine in particular. I — to be honest with you, in the beginning, I just didn’t want anything to do with Isagenix or whatsoever. And it was like taboo. But anyway because of my own health issues that I had to address and I am a researcher of ingredients. This girl kept coming in and I thank God every single day that she was very persistent. Everybody out there when you get nose be very persistent ’cause you don’t know whose life you maybe saving. Anyway I had –
>> Yeah, I had some terrible health issues, so bad that I seen, you know, an attorney. I had gotten a last will, I got a health care proxy, a living will proxy. And the reason why I did, you know, legally is because I didn’t want anyone to overturn my decision. I had a very serious surgery coming up and it was going to be anywhere between 8 and 12 hours and I knew I was in for a ride here. So what I did was I had on that health care proxy, living will proxy which I had it installed in both, both of them. I said, “That should I get a heart attack or stroke on this surgery, this table for the surgery, to please to make sure that the only thing that was gonna go in a feeding tube was Isagenix.” And I gave them the formula and the IsaFruits, the Greens, you know, I had the whole thing, you know, written out. ‘Cause I knew I had seen miracles of how bodies when they’re healthy and they get into dense nutrition into their bodies how they react. I had five months prior to the surgery to see all those little miracles that I thank god.
>> I truly thank god that this was in my life at that time. Anyway, needless to say, my surgery was really come out wonderful. I — that the doctors couldn’t believe my recovery. I was very, very quick to recover. As a matter of fact, prior to my Isagenix days I had two surgeries, the thyroid removed and a gallbladder removed. I was in the hospital for both times, seven days, in intensive care 48 hours. Yeah, this surgery was so much more severe. It was almost a 10-hour surgery and I was only in intensive care for 10 hours. And I was really kicked out of the hospital on three days. It was truly, truly amazing that the doc even called me a miracle patient. So –
>> So now Jackie — I mean, obviously Isagenix came into your life at the very, very, you know, exact moment when you –
>> Oh my god.
>> needed it most to help strengthen your body. Get your body as healthy as possible before your surgery. But let — I’m gonna just take — have you go back, just a second, because I think that your skepticism is definitely something to make note of. I know that you — how many weeks was it that the one girl kept coming into your –
>> You kept saying, “No, no, no, no, no, no, yes I was out. [Laughter] And you know, and where you just — I mean ’cause I know that you being a health store owner, you must have been exposed to thousands of 1000 of products to improbably really no good. So you know, what were your thoughts behind this women coming in to share Isagenix?
>> Well, that’s actually true. I mean, you know, and plus I’m dealing with doctors. And you know, when I — and I knew that, you know, if I took another product and let say it really did work, I would loose — I would loose these doctors and sure enough I did loose three of them because patients were coming in and these particular patients were from diet doctors and they weren’t getting the results that they was supposed to be getting with their doctors and then they would hear these Isagenix people coming in and saying to me, “Oh, thank you so much, I’ve got more energy, I’ve lost 10 pounds, I lost so many inches.” And people were going on. In fact, there was almost, you know, a little thing happening at my — at the store that this woman said — I said, “Oh no, I have your food right here,” and I have — she loved the — “The chef will come out. He’ll explain everything to you,” and she goes, “No, I don’t wanna hear that. I wanna hear what she is saying.” And sure enough, she went on Isagenix and lost a ton a weight. So does Isagenix work? Yes. And it works more than just people loosing weight. You know, it helped me get my body back to the way it should have been to fight what I had, to fight. Though you know, and in addition to that I did loose weight. I had an ankle that was really very, very bad that it was completely broken off the, you know, the big bone. I even forgot what that big bone is called. And I had severe arthritis and if it wasn’t for these products I really wouldn’t even be — I truly feel that the pain that I’ve felt in all those years has really diminished to minimal at this point.
>> Wow.
>> So, and I thank god that I have these products to make my body work the way it is supposed to be working. This is dense nutrition. Dense [inaudible] also.
>> Yeah. Now because of your results obviously, you started sharing it with your customers that would come in, those patients. And then of course I know that you branched out. You started sharing it with a lot of people and your beautiful income that you’re earning. And I know you have a couple of those guests on the line. So –which [inaudible] now would be a good time to bring ‘em on.
>> Yes. Okay, I have actually — I have three guests. I don’t know if they all made it because I know a couple of them had some meetings. I just wanna say, “I have this one guest, it’s Christina [phonetic]. She’s from Valley Cottage, New York. She is a third grade teacher, happily married with four beautiful children. And as a matter of fact, she’s home on maternity leave and I can’t believe the figure that she got. Her figure came back almost instantly after having this baby.” Christina did you make it on the call?
>> Yes. If you can tell your story, that would be great.
>> Absolutely, I will. I’m Christina and I’m 39 as Jackie. Jackie said I’m a mother of 4 children ranges from 8-1/2 down to 6 months old. And I’m also a third grade teacher. And I was first introduced to Isagenix about almost three years ago right after Jackie got introduced to. And it was also a little bit — almost a year after I had my third son. And at the time I was just kinda dissatisfied with my body. I had lost all the weight that I needed to that I’d gain during my pregnancy as I did with all my kids but — and I wasn’t looking to loose weight but I did wanna chance [phonetic] for my body. I was just — I was exercising a lot. I’m following a healthy diet but I just didn’t feel like I was getting the results that I really wanted. So I was really ready to try to something new and here was Isagenix. And I’d heard Jackie talked about how wonderful it was.
So I decided gonna try, and so tried it. I did the 9-Day program and I was amazed at the results. I did loose weight. I lost about 8 pounds which was a lot because I didn’t need to loose anyway. But it was all around my abdominal area and I just couldn’t believe that my abs could really look the way they did after having three kids and two of them were delivered through a C-section. And I just thought — I felt so energetic, so positive. And my husband was so impressed that he also — he ordered it like the next day and did a 9 day and achieved amazing results as well. He had always been and he’s still is an avid wonderer and he referees professional ice hockey. He’s very active.
But again, just wanted to see what it could do for him. And he ended up loosing 10 to 12 pounds in the 9 days and his abs looked better than any — that I’d ever seen and looked before and I known him since he was 19. So, and he also fell incredibly fit. So we both stuck with the program and I we’re still, you know, drink the shake everyday and we started telling everyone we knew about it on how wonderful it was. And then lo and behold, about a year and half ago, I become pregnant for the fourth time and during this pregnancy I continued to drink the protein shakes and I really felt like — although I gained the same amount of weight, it was different. I felt more energetic. I felt like I even looked better during the pregnancy and I just — I was — I felt like I was really giving myself the nutrition and energy that I needed to continue working through the pregnancy and take care of my three boys at home and my house and everything that goes along with it. And then after I had my daughter, she’s now 6 months old, I lost all of my pregnancy pounds in less than four months. Thanks to Isagenix. I really credit Isagenix with helping me not only loose the weight but to feel energetic afterwards. ‘Cause after you have a baby, you’re just so tired and run down and, you know, your mood swings, everything comes into play and I really feel like this time I kind of was able to bounce back much quicker because I had Isagenix. I was giving my body really good nutrition. I was back into my exercise routine as soon as the doctors said I could. My muscle tone came back so quickly and I mean like to you said, people tell all the time that they can’t believe that I have four children especially a little baby and it just makes me feel so proud. I really — I love Isagenix. I really — I can’t live without it. It’s my savior.
>> Oh. Oh my goodness.
>> I love it.
>> That’s a good mommy story [laughter].
>> Yeah. It’s just great life.
>> Oh, my goodness.
>> I tell everybody — I tell everybody who’s had babies just, you know, you really can get back to where you were. You just have to give yourself, you know, the good nutrition and good stuffs like Isagenix.
>> Yeah, definitely. Wow, well thank you so much for sharing. Jackie, great guest. I love it.
>> Right.
>> Right, who’s next?
>> Next we have Leon Grebla [phonetic]. Leon is from New Jersey and he manages a Lexus Dealership in New Jersey. He really is a father of two grown children and he has three grandchildren. And Leon actually is really brand new to Isagenix and he’s already achieved the level of consultants. So Leon had you made the call?
>> Jackie I’m here.
>> Oh great.
>> Nice to be [inaudible] it’s great to be with you this evening. My story is actually probably kinda simple. I, you know, most of my life I’ve been very, very active but I was always concerned. There was a family history of heart disease. People of my family had heart attacks at early ages. I actually lost a brother to a heart attack at the age of 42. So my health was always something that was a concern to me. Even though it was, most of my adult life I carried around probably 50 extra pounds that didn’t need to have. My blood pressure was always very high. My cholesterol when ever tested was typically around 245 which was extremely high as well too. So needless to say, I was very, very concerned. I tried various diets and they never seemed to work for me. I take a few pounds off and put them back on and I guess looking back most of the time it was just water weight that was going out. I was never really getting anything accomplished. Well, one day I happened to be in my dentist’s office and my dentist, wonderful person, she’s very petite, small Asian woman and we’re talking and she said — pokes me in the side. She says to me, “Leon,” she goes, “You’re putting on a few extra pounds since I saw last time.” Well, I was taken a little back that I didn’t realized at the time how much those words were gonna change my life. She says, “Leon I’ve got someone you need to talk to.” So that evening I was invited to a meeting. I had no idea what I was going to. And there were few people at the meeting and there was a Isagenix consultant there who started talking about the products and telling me how I was gonna loose weight, telling me how I was gonna have more energy, telling me that I was gonna feel better about a lot of things.
>> And about half way in, everything seemed to me make sense and I said to her, “You know what? I’m in.?” I ordered the package from there. I got my first package and in about 4 months I had lost 40 pounds. I gone from about 233 pounds to 190 pounds and I’m keeping that way to — if I’ve got another 10 pounds that I’m shooting from my goal to get down to about 180. It’s something that everything that was told to me, although I didn’t believe and was very skeptical about, actually happened. They told me I was gonna have more energy. I used to come home and, you know, when you work in the car business it’s very, very long hours. It’s usually 6 days a week. I would come home, sit in front of the TV set, and just kinda watch TV. Now I come home, I’ve got more energy that I know what to do with. People see me and they see me after several months and they look and say, “You look great! You lost weight. The color in your face is absolutely fantastic.”
And these were things I wasn’t seeing myself but they were saying. So after a few short months I lost the 40 pounds, I lost 5 inches in my weight. I feel better. I look better. My children are happy to see what happened to me. And both of them are using Isagenix products. Little side things that changes well too. I usually get up and I was a very, very big coffee drinker and coffee really isn’t too good for you, that was probably part of my problem. I would say I was probably drinking 12 to may be 14 cups of coffee a day. Now I drink about one — maybe two cups of decaffeinated coffee. I get up in the morning, first I thing I do is I grab my bottle, Bionic Supreme. Drink a little bit of that and that gets me going for the day right from there. So I’m very, very happy that I was introduced to the Isagenix products.
>> Oh.
>> They helped me tremendously and the best part to the story, one of the best parts of the story is my cholesterol that last year tested at 245, a few weeks ago tested at 115. My doctor called me said, “Leon I don’t know what you’re doing but keep doing it.”
>> Wow.
>> So I keep the products, in a short time a lot of things have changed to me. I am very much a believer and I’m happy that I’m part of the organization.
>> Wow, well Leon that’s such an amazing story and, you know, for you to have dropped 40 pounds in 4 months, I know you said you have about 10 more to go which is puff! That’s like a 9-Day Cleanse. You’ll be able to do that. And, you know, at first your cholesterol goes, you know, I’m — we always wanna make sure that as people are sharing their stories that we always keep in mind that Isagenix is really the catalyst for the body to become healthy by itself. You put the good stuffs in and the body becomes a miracle that it was designed to be and that Isagenix does not cure, treat, or prevent any kind of disease or illness. So with that being said, Leon again, thank you for sharing tonight. And Jackie I know you may have one more guest on the line and our time is running short. I just wanna give everybody a heads up. We’ve got about 5 minutes left. So Jackie, go ahead and take it away.
>> Okay, alright. There is one more. Her name is Jackie Bartley Brown. She is from Westwood, New Jersey and she also is a very busy mother of two. Jackie did you make it on the call?
>> Yes. Jackie?
>> Sure, very quickly, very quickly. Okay, I am a mother of two teenagers and we’ve been using Isagenix for over one and a half years now. I was never overweight but I always felt sluggish and I was — I’m such a — I love running and I’m always running. I run with a group of girls. These are all more like in their 20s and I’m like in my 40s. And after taking — using my Isagenix, I started out running all those girls. They wanted to know [laughter] what I was doing. And it was simple. I was taking my shake. I put in my — want more energy in there and I’m heading to my gym and I was just running along with them. Also with my girls, my two teenage girls they used to get Isagenix shake every morning. I prepackaged their shake. This is so important to me that they’re getting this inside their bodies. I make sure I put my two shakes in. I put the — one more energy. I put the green. I put the calcium. And they come down in the morning. They get their little Tupperware. They dump in the blender. They add their water. They do the shake. And they’re out the door. And this has worked so well for me. They have been — they’re doing very good in school, academically. They’re in a lot of different sports. And the nutrients from Isagenix are just unbelievable. My girls have never been sick, knock on wood, for the longest time ever since they’re been on it and if they have a cold it’s gone within a day. So thank god for Isagenix.
>> Wow! Amazing, and you know, what I love about tonight’s guests is that — Leon I know you had a little bit of weight that you wanted to loose but you know, Christine and Jackie you were both, you know, big fitness gurus. I mean, you really, you know, focus a lot on exercise and were relatively thin, you know, before starting Isagenix. So I think that the message is quite clear that it doesn’t matter if you are an athlete, a stay at home moms, someone that actually needs to loose 30 pounds or 200 pounds. Believe it or not we have people that have lost 300 pounds on Isagenix. It’s pretty exciting. But it’s really is a plan of allowing your body to become healthy and just giving those daily nutrients that the body requires to, you know, help and sustain health and I love it. So Jackie, thank you for you sharing.
And I would just love to thank all of our guests, Jackie, Christine, Leon, and Jackie, two Jackie’s on the line, for being with us tonight and sharing. Because I believe that everybody that’s listening can either relates or, you know, because they’ve had a wonderful experiences themselves or they’re just about ready to get started. So it’s very exciting and what I’d like to do is, it’s just on wrapping up tonight, there’s some statistic that I’d love to share with you. And these statistics are of, you know, what we’re going through right now in the United States and why Isagenix is just such a hot ticket for everybody. Number 1 is we have a lot of poor nutrition going. I mean, about 95 percent of the grocery stores consist of processed, you know, over processed foods that are riddled with a lot of artificial flavorings, artificial colorings preservatives, flavor enhancers, chemicals that make you wanna eat more. And not only about but we live fast paced lifestyles. We are, you know, surrounded by stress. Obesity in the United States, believe or not, around 80 percent of people in North America are overweight. We have about 25 million children that are obese right now in the United States.
And that number has probably risen since the last statistics that I have. And to top it off, we live in a toxic environment. And you know, we got to live our lives. You got to step outside of your home and work and play and have fun. And so obviously, completely ignoring the environmental pollutants that we’re surrounded by everyday is not realistic. I mean we are going to be in contact with these things and the air that we breathe, the food that we eat, the water we drink, the things that we ladder on our skin. And so in a nut shell, people are toxic and their bodies are nutritionally bankrupt. And with Isagenix, obviously Isagenix deals with those things. They help to replenish and revitalize the body and at the same time cleanse the body down to the cellular level and the body just becomes the miracle again that it was designed to be.
And that’s just the first gift in Isagenix. The second gift is the financial vehicle. And before Isagenix, I didn’t have any experience with network marketing. So this was all new to me as it is for a lot of people that have come into Isagenix. But some of the statistics that have really, you know, brought, you know, made it very clear to me that network marketing is definitely the place to be and especially when you’re in the wellness industry. The wellness industry is about 400 billion dollar industry annually. And there’s people constantly looking to loose weight. And believe it or not, that when people start diet plans or health plans, they have most of the time they have about a 98 percent failure rate. And with the weight lost industry alone being about 43 billion dollar industry, people were looking. They’re looking for the opportunity. And so as people are sharing Isagenix, they’re earning a residual income, an income that comes into their family, maybe just secondary income to begin with and then, you know, allows them to be able to build full-time. But with some of the latest statistics on what’s going with the economy right now, there are about 5.3 million people that have become unemployed in the last 12 months that are looking for business opportunities. And I think now more than ever is the most perfect time to share Isagenix and to build your business. So if, you know, who every got you on to this call definitely ask them a little bit more information on how to get started on the products and how to create a financial opportunity for yourself. And with that again, thank you everybody for being with us.
