"I added years to my life. REALLY. My journey began July 2009 when I was at work and mysteriously passed out. I was not responding and was taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital where after every test you can imagine was done, no actual diagnosis or cause was found as to why I fainted. But I knew why. My body had it with me and the abuse I had put it through. As I lay in the bed at the emergency room all that went through my head was that my son Jacob deserved more than this. I deserved more than this. I refused to continue eating unhealthy, not exercising and un-proudly having to say I had Diabetes Type II. My weight was at its highest 187 pounds. That for me was scary. I weighed 180 the day I had my son. He weighed 7 pounds. Which means I was technically carrying twice my son’s weight. ABUSE.
I found Advocare by mistake. I saw a sign on the bulletin board at my son’s daycare for Shanna’s boot camp. Yes I needed tough love at this point and was willing to go through the pain. As I was “checking” Shanna’s info out I ran into her Advocare website. I have to admit at first I was thinking, “Here we go again another wonder drug that promises to melt away everything”. But as I read it more and spoke with Shanna I found two things I liked: Shanna never pushed me onto it which to me meant it worked, she didn’t feel the need to oversell it, and the fact it was natural.
The journey to today was NOT easy by any means. I had to reboot my mind and body to the fact that I was now going to treat it well. And I have to admit it is STILL not easy. I started and continue to be on the Advocare 24 day challenge..And that’s exactly what it is....a challenge. You have to follow what the product says and if you do you see results. My personal favorites are the Spark Pink Lemonade and the MNS 3. No fake up feeling then down feeling but rather wonderful and powerful “good to go conquer the world” stuff. At least for me.
Today a year later I am most grateful for finding Advocare. I have lost 30 pounds, and my latest lab results show for the first time in 6 years that my A1C is at its lowest which means I am not a diabetic. Yes people, this can be done. I feel great and the scary part is I NOW realize how unhealthy I was living and how my body had been complaining for a while. Aches, fatigue, depression, Diabetes, high cholesterol to mention a few. But I refuse to go out like that......so I stopped the abuse and started spreading the love....literally....with Advocare, exercise and healthier eating."

"I have never been that girl who could eat whatever I wanted, I've always had to watch what I ate and count calories...pretty much walk on eggshells. I had prayed many nights for God to help me to have the strength and self control and he has given me so much more. He lead me to this amazing company that care about people and where there are no limits on how much money our family can make. It is truly a life changing experience. My husband and I were trying to come up with ideas on how to finish paying for my college and we found a great program through the United States Coast Guard. The only problem was I needed to lose a few pounds, so I signed up for a womens only boot camp in my area and was introduced to Advocare! I figured I had tried everything else out there and I'd give this a whirl too. From day one I knew something was different about these products, not only did I lose weight I felt AWESOME! Two weeks after I started my husband told me how amazing I look! That was PRICELESS and made it that much more worth it! Now we both take the products and are taking full advantage of life! I am now in training for my first Triathlon and the rest is history! I'm just a normal person living a fairytale life!" - Shelly Marie Brown

"As CrossFit Coaches and wellness advocates it was extremely important for us to find safe, beneficial nutritional products that we could comfortably recommend to our friends, family and clients. When we were introduced to AdvoCare we had our doubts. After years of being let down by performance, weight loss and energy supplements, we had trained ourselves to believe that none of them worked. Impressed with AdvoCare after doing our own research we decided to give it a try. Desperately trying to kick our pot of coffee a day addiction, we ordered Spark.

Spark has changed our lives. We no longer drink coffee and have more energy than we have ever had! No more crashing or stained teeth! We drink one serving in the morning and are pumped all day. Not to mention we feel awesome. After seeing the such great results with Spark we then started on the herbal cleanse, and added in MNS, OmegaPlex, meal replacement shakes, and catalyst (The 24Day Challenge) to our daily routine. We are also competing CrossFit athletes so we add in a lot of the performance elite line into our daily routine to maximize workouts.

Our results have been phenomenal!

Jeremie lost 68lbs in the first 6months of being on the products and has added 25lbs of lean muscle mass in the past year while maintaining his 7% body fat. He too has seen significant gains in his work capacity. "To be 68lbs lighter to me doesn't seem like a lot of weight, until you have to carry 68 pound sand bags. I do that now to get a workout, its crazy to think I was carrying it around all the time. I never knew how exhausting it made me feel, until it was gone. AdvoCare's 24 Day Challenge system and performance elite products rocked my body and changed my life. There is a noticeable difference in my WOD times, strength gains, and recovery times when I combine the AdvoCare products to my Paleo lifestyle. I will never go a day without having AdvoCare products running through my body again!" -Jeremie Tokarsky

Shanna has shaved significant times off her WODs, had huge strength gains, dropped 8% body fat and went down 2 pant sizes. For a trainer that worked out 6 times a week and ate a very strict paleo diet this is impressive! "Before I started on the products I thought that my body was in the best shape it could be in and I was going to settle. Every morning I wake up thankful that I didn't! I am a firm believer that you can achieve any fitness goal when you have the right tools!"
