Who has had allergy tests? Who’s on allergy shots? Did you know the answer COULD be in your gut?
The power of these supplements never fail to leave me in awe ❤️
Rachel Barrow has had extreme allergies for decades!!!!
“I need to share about my allergy tests yesterday. Let me give you a little background info. I have had severe allergies my whole life. I took injections for years as a child. I could never eat the fruits and vegetables or candy all the other kids could eat. It was a miserable life for a child. All the healthy foods that most people eat, I could never eat.
3 1/2 years ago I went and was retested. The doctor told me he had never seen someone allergic to everything. I was allergic to 623 different things. I didn't know that was humanly possible. But the results said it was.
Yesterday when I was tested, I was ONLY allergic to 7, YES, I SAID 7, air born allergens. That is phenomenal. No Food Allergies !!!!! I can eat fruits and vegetables again. That is SO crazy good. I am so excited. AND I OWE IT ALL TO THE PLEXUS TRIPLEX and healing my gut. Gut health is everything. 80% of your complete health comes from your gut!!!!!

I absolutely LOVE Ease and here’s a few reasons why I love it so much! 👇🏻
💚 GREEN LIPPED MUSSEL 💚 These amazing little creatures are found in New Zealand and have been used for years as a natural way to fight inflammation. And they are POTENT! Our Ease capsules have been shown to be more successful in aiding in inflammation and aches and pains than over the counter pain relievers like ibuprofen and Tylenol. The New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel is an Omega3 fatty acid that is 100 times more effective in reducing joint discomfort than your average Omega 3! So say goodbye to soreness from workouts and long days, + hello to a de-puffed amazing feeling body! 💪🏼 Not only that, but Green Lipped Mussel also has these amazing benefits. 👇🏼
🐚 They may enhance external appearance in the skin, hair, and nails.
🐚 Regular use improves the circulatory system by helping to reduce the chance of a heart attack and other circulatory problems. The healthy circulation is produced by strengthening the interior arterial walls and improving blood flow.
🐚 They boost the immune system, being resistant to viral and bacterial infections, and accelerate the formation of antibodies.
🐚 They strengthen the bones and teeth structure and help in supporting the surrounding tissues.
🐚 They have the potential of improving fertility by increasing the viscosity of seminal fluid in men and cervical mucus in women.
🐚 They improve nerve cell functioning in the nervous system, leading to improved muscle, organ, and tissue stimulation.
🐚 Their chemical composition (which includes Omega 3 fatty acids, protein, and carbohydrates) is an ideal source of all the basic nutrients that your body needs to stay healthy and vigorous. 💚
PLUS// Another main ingredient in Ease is Turmeric, and did you know that Turmeric is fat soluble? Meaning it needs a FAT in the carrier to effectively absorb and assimilate all the amazing benefits... Green Lipped Mussel is the fat that works together with Turmeric to product amazing RELIEF and amazing RESULTS.

So many everyday pains and health issues we have are caused by inflammation! Headaches, migraines, neck aches, back aches, plantar fasciitis, allergies, skin irritation, autoimmune diseases...I could go on and on!! If you have any of these symptoms and you are taking over the counter pain reliever like Tylenol or ibuprofen you should try switching to Plexus Ease instead!
One of the main ingredients in Plexus Ease is Turmeric. This potent spice is packed with anti-inflammatories and anti-oxidants. Turmeric has been proven to fight free radicals, rejuvenate the cells, cleanse the liver, protect the heart, boosts mood and support the brain. However, the active agents in Turmeric are fat soluble, meaning you NEED fat in the carrier to effectively absorb and assimilate the benefits. Plexus added New Zealand green lipped mussel into Ease which not only provides the fat the Turmeric needs but it also helps with pain relief on its own. The New Zealand green lipped mussel is an Omega3 fatty acid but it is up to 100 times more effective in reducing joint discomfort than your average Omega 3! 🙌🏼👊🏼
So for those of you reaching for Tylenol, Acetaminophen or ibuprofen... or those of you suffering in silence but looking for a natural alternative, you should consider trying it!
With a 60 day money back guarantee, I challenge you to upgrade your current anti-inflammatory, turmeric supplement, to our Ease!

Is your weight clinging to you like this woman hugging her scale!?!
Google candida and weight loss!
Losing weight is never the body’s first priority. It may be your personal priority, but the body has its own agenda! Fighting infection, keeping the heart and lungs going and managing blood pressure and circulation are always going to trump “weight loss” from the body’s point of view.
So how do we lose weight? You have to address the CANDIDA:
Candida is a nasty fungus. It can affect almost every area of the body. It is the result of the yeast in our body overgrowing, and it doesn't need to be OBVIOUS to mean it's present.
Candida feeds on sugars, so it will demand sweets to keep itself fed. It is also a cause of the damaged gut lining known as “Leaky Gut”. It disturbs our neurotransmitters, our metabolism, and makes us crave sweets.🍭🍰🍨🍩
As the immune system deals with this fungus, the toxic load on the lymphatic system causes the body to hold water. We hold water to dilute toxins in the blood, lymph nodes, kidneys and colon. The more toxic you are, the more likely you are to hold water.💦
This water weight affects more than your clothing size 👖👔👗… It’s one of the primary reasons for high blood pressure. If the blood contains more fluid than normal, it has to pump harder than normal.
See, weight gain never shows up to the party alone. It always brings one or more of its friends such as swelling, decreased energy, inability to control cravings for junk food or sodas/coffee/alcohol, poor mental and emotional health, heart issues, inability to balance blood sugar levels, tender, swollen, and deformed joints, painful digestive struggles, poor sleep, stress, and much more.
Weight loss occurs naturally as the body gets healthier by killing the candida off, reducing inflammation, balancing hormones, making better food choices, and making a good fitness plan.💪
Maybe it's time that you switch your focus to your INSIDES for a while and see what incredible changes can happen!
There's science behind this and a reason why you aren't well!

THYROID people...this is for you. ❤️
If you're always tired, have horrible headaches, body aches, brain fog, a hard time sleeping, poor nutrient absorption, etc. you NEED to give this superior a try! Your body will thank you!
XFactor Plus, is the highest quality, most complete multivitamin out there. When you miss a day, you notice. It’s full of super potent, highly bioavailable nutrients, that specifically support thyroid health:
Selenium: A necessary cofactor in the production of thyroxine (T4), It also converts T4 to the more active form, T3.
Zinc: Required for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Zinc deficiency can result in hypothyroidism. Thyroid hormones are essential for the absorption of zinc. The hair loss attributed to hypothyroidism may not improve with thyroid hormone replacement unless zinc supplements are added.
Molybdenum: Molybdenum-dependent enzymes function in the oxidative system of thyrocytes (thyroid epithelial cells). They also play an important role in T3 (thyroglobulin) release from the thyroid gland.
Boron: Helps the conversion of the storage form of thyroid hormone, T4, to T3, the active form.
Copper: Plays an important role in the metabolism of the amino acid tyrosine, which is a precursor to T4 (thyroxine).
Chromium: Enhances insulin activity playing a major role in the regulation of insulin release and its effects on carbohydrate, protein and lipid metabolism. Conversion of T4 to T3 is influenced by insulin, so in a roundabout way, chromium helps this conversion.
Manganese: Required to transport the hormone thyroxine into our cells.
Magnesium: Calcium and magnesium must be balanced in the body to ensure proper thyroid function. If there is too much calcium, thyroid hormones can become diminished. Magnesium is the regulator of calcium absorption and utilization.
Thiamine: One of the B vitamins (B1). Its main responsibility is to change carbohydrates into energy, and it also helps with the digestion of proteins and fats. You need Thiamine for proper release of hydrochloric acid in your stomach, which is required for proper protein digestion. Most people with Hashimoto’s have low stomach acid or do not release any stomach acid.
The trace minerals and added polyphenols are also clinically proven to have incredible gut health benefits. XFactor Plus still contains aloe, to increase the absorption of nutrients, and New Zealand blackcurrant, a natural source of iron. And, the capsule contains natural chlorophyll, which provides the green color. So much awesome goodness is packed into these little capsules.

INSOMNIA / ACID REFLUX / JOINT PAIN
This is my friend Emily Burgess’s mama!!! She is one of the MANY people who have found major relief by using these gut health products. BUT it didn’t happen overnight... she stuck with it!!!
——————————
“When Emily told me she wanted to become a Plexus Ambassador, I tried to warn her away. I had been involved in a multilevel marketing company years before and it was a miserable experience—I didn’t want her anywhere near an MLM. But she loved what the products were doing for her and she wanted to try it. I became her first customer because I figured that would be the only success she was going to have.
I’ve been taking Plexus products for 10 months now. Initially, I felt like my skepticism was well-founded because I didn’t drop 40 pounds overnight and I wasn’t magically sleeping like a baby after dealing with insomnia for 30 years. But then a couple of months into it, I realized one day that I wasn’t popping Rolaids several times a day like I had been for the past few years. I could actually eat like a normal person and not have that burning in my chest and throat that I had become so accustomed to. The neck pain from the whiplash I suffered in an accident was going away. I went shopping for jeans and had to buy a size smaller than I had been wearing for years. And then I started sleeping better—in fact, I rarely have a bad night anymore.
Because so many supplement advertisements promise astounding results the moment you take their product (have you ever listened to those “male enhancement” commercials????), I was kind of expecting faster results from Plexus. But Em encouraged me to keep going, even when it felt like nothing was happening because something WAS happening.
If you’re just starting with Plexus, give it time! I’m so thankful I stuck with it because my life and health are so much better today than they were this time last year!”

𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐄𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑?
Did you know? Glucose cannot leave the body without a water molecule attached via urination. Thirst is your body's cue for help in removing excess glucose.
Drinking water and going to the bathroom are PLAN A to get glucose out of your system.
Plan B? Fat storage. Yep, it's true.
So basically, if you don't want to be inconvenienced by frequent bathroom visits by NOT drinking enough water, you are choosing .
DRINK YOUR WATER
𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐅𝐈𝐓𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑
Adequate and regular water consumption plays an important role in maintaining a healthy body.
✔️carrying nutrients and oxygen to your cells
✔️flushing bacteria from your bladder
✔️aiding digestion
✔️preventing constipation
✔️normalizing blood pressure
✔️stabilizing the heartbeat
✔️cushioning joints
✔️protecting organs and tissues
✔️regulating body temperature
✔️maintaining electrolyte (sodium) balance
Lack of water can lead to dehydration, which can drain your energy and make you tired, giving you headaches and other ailments. Dehydration can result in cells not functioning properly, resulting in a slower metabolism.
And "hunger" is often more of a cue that you're thirsty! It's recommended to drink half your body weight in ounces of water every day!!!! 💧💦 So if you weigh 140 pounds, you should be drinking at least 70 ounces a day!!!
We've all heard the statistic- our bodies are 70-80% water! But somehow, most Americans barely meet the minimum when it comes to daily water intake!
💧 Thirst is often mistaken for hunger
💧 Dehydration can cause symptoms like lethargy, headaches, and fatigue
💧 Once you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated
💧 Your body needs water to carry nutrients to your cells, metabolize fat and just function properly
Water intake is 💥imperative💥when you are fasting too!
👉🏻 Tea doesn't count
👉🏻 Coffee doesn't count
👉🏻 Diet soda doesn't count (and does more harm to your weight loss and body than good!)
If you are new to drinking water, try adding a glass upon waking, a glass before eating, and a glass at bedtime! Work your way up to the required amount.
How do you make sure to drink enough!?👇🏻

What if I told you that your body stores toxins and bacteria that build up over time as a result of:
👉🏻prescription medications
👉🏻antibiotic use
👉🏻over the counter meds
👉🏻bad food/drink choices
These bacteria and toxins FEED off of sugars and carbs and make you feel tired 😴 and sluggish.
So even if you do lose weight with some extreme measures by restricting your calories 👎🏻, more than likely you'll gain it back again because you're still craving starchy and sugar-laden foods just like before!! 😫
Why?!? It's a gut issue!!! 💁🏼♀️
It's an overgrowth of yeast and bacteria that is literally demanding that you continue to feed it!!
