But Were Too Tired To Ask.

Emily’s Story –
BS Biology MS Education
• Eating well.. Bought organic fresh
produce, etc
• Read labels, avoided toxins and questionable
ingredients.
• Appeared to be the model of health … EXCEPT
NO ENERGY
SICK A LOT .. Viruses, etc
What Causes Fatigue and Energy Loss
Low or fluctuating blood sugar
Nutritional deficiency
Lack of exercise.. Resulting in lack of oxygen
Carrying extra pounds
Insufficient sleep
Stress
Toxic exposure
Depression and mental overload
Illness
The Role Of
Mitochondria
• Mitochondria are the energy packs of
every cell…
• Their job is to utilize oxygen and
nutrients from food and convert them
to energy.
• When we don’t exercise, we don’t
take in adequate levels of oxygen ..
And the mitochondria suffer and
decline.
• Vivix improves energy levels because
it increases the number of younger
and more active mitochondria.
Foods that Zap Energy

What Do People Do To Get More Energy?

Scientists See Dangers in Energy Drinks
By JANE E. BRODY Published: January 31, 2011, New York Times
“For an athlete engaged in intense exercise, the high doses of
sugar in energy drinks can impair absorption of fluids and
result in dehydration. A 16-ounce can of an energy drink may
contain 13 teaspoons of sugar and the amount of caffeine
found in 4 or more colas.” Troy D. Tuttle, an exercise physiologist at
the Houston university,

B Complex --
The Happy Vitamins
The Energy Vitamins
Essential for brain and nervous system
Helps burn fat into energy
Lost with sugar, refined carbohydrates ( salty
snacks, breads and pastries, starchy foods), caffeine,
alcohol, stress and medications.
Fatigue, irritability, poor concentration, anxiety and depression—all
can be signs of a B vitamin deficiency. That's because compounds in
the B complex are needed for everything from the healthy
maintenance of brain cells to the metabolism of carbohydrates, the
brain's source of fuel. Bs are also necessary for production of
neurotransmitters, which regulate mood and conduct messages
through the brain. Psychology Today Aug 13, 2007
The subgroup of B6, B12 and folate is the subject of much research.
Sufficient intake lowers rates of birth defects, cardiovascular disease,
depression, dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
B6 and B12 contribute to the myelin sheath around nerve cells, which
speeds signals through the brain. B12 and folic acid together are needed
for making normal cells, including blood cells. Inadequate B12 or folic acid
can yield blood cells unable to carry vital oxygen to the brain.
These three Bs aid in the manufacture of the excitatory neurotransmitter
GABA, as well as serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitters that
regulate mood.
Choline is one that shows promise. Found in protein-rich food such as
eggs, it is needed by everyone for the production of cell membranes and
for making the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which affects memory.
Pregnant women must also consume choline to support the rapid
production of fetal brain cells.
Pregnancy may prove to be the most decisive period for many nutrients.
Animal studies by Duke University neuroscientist Christina Williams, Ph.D.,
have shown that a diet with four times the normal amount of choline
during pregnancy can actually prevent memory decline in offspring as
they reach old age. Supplemented animals also have superior memory
throughout their own lives.

Shaklee 180 Smoothees and Bars /
Energizing Soy Protein
• Traditional US breakfast foods -- high in carbohydrates … cereal,
toast, bagels, pancakes, waffles, pastries at coffee shops,
• Must start the day with protein and fiber to stabilize blood sugar
“Some sugars, such as the green plant foods, release more slowly
into the blood stream than others. Other sugars enter the blood
stream quickly, giving one a feeling of "pep" — but, just as rapidly,
one sags. This "pep and sag" cycle occurs most pronouncedly when
one consumes foods containing sucrose (refined sugar) such as
candy or high fructose soda pop.” Blood Sugar and Healthy Eating

including adrenal glands, liver, kidney, heart, reproductive organs, etc.
• Cordyceps – a prized mushroom studied extensively in China for its ability
to enhance energy and stamina. Believed to promote more efficient use of
oxygen and improve cardiovascular output, by making mitochondria more
efficient.
• Green Tea –for anti-oxidants
Benefits reported – increased mental vigor & concentration, improved blood
sugar balance, sound sleep, liver function, heart function, kidney function,
sexual function, fatigue, endurance, stress, foggy thinking, menopausal

Taurine In Energy Tea
• Provides detoxifying properties
• Provides antioxidant properties, and protects cellular tissue
from toxic substances
• Causes fat to be more soluble by increasing the production of
bile in the liver (helps keep bile in a liquid state, and is less
likely to form gallstones)
• Critical for brain development – is used to treat anxiety,
epilepsy, hyperactivity, poor brain function and seizures.
• Acts like a diuretic, without the side effects of pharmaceutical
diuretics
• Helps regulate blood pressure and reduces cholesterol levels
Matcha Green Tea
• Contains ingredients that cause body fat reduction, therefore aiding in
weight loss
• Increases metabolism
• Alkalizes the body and intestinal tract (therefore, helps reduce candida).
improves conditions of intestines by blocking growth of bad bacteria
and enhancing good bacteria like bifidus.
• Epidemiological reports show it helps reduce risk of several cancers.
• Protects the cardiovascular system
(reduces significantly serum and liver cholesterol, helps reduce
the risk of death from heart disease, and controls blood pressure)
• Protects the brain and the kidneys
• Helps lower blood sugar in diabetics
• Suppresses aggregation of platelets and prevents thrombosis such as
heart attacks and brain strokes
More Green Tea Benefits
• Promotes oral health & hygiene – inhibits the causative bacteria which
contributes to the formation of dental plaque and cavities. (Green tea
has been found to be a potential chemo-preventative agent for the
treatment of oral leukoplakia, a precursor lesion to oral cancer)
• WBC counts are maintained more effectively in cancer patients consuming
green tea compared to non-supplemented patients
• A cup of green tea contains about 15 to 30 mg of caffeine, but because
green tea also contains theanine (an amino acid that calms) it
counteracts the effects of caffeine
• Aids in the detoxification of heavy metals (such as lead, mercury,
cadmium, etc.)
• Active ingredients include Polyphenols – a class of phytochemicals found in
high concentrations in green tea, and have been associated with heart disease and
cancer prevention. One cup of green tea provides 10-40 mg of polyphenols and
has antioxidant effects greater than a serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots, or
strawberries.
