RECIPE FOR SUCCESS
The KEY to SUCCESS with PLEXUS products is CONSISTENCY and PERSISTENCE!! Plexus is designed to be used as a “TOOL,” not a quick-fix “magic pill” (although we do think there is a little magic in the pink!).
These are the products that I suggest and the order of importance IMO:
WEEK 1: SLIM & BIOCLEANSE:
For every new customer/ambassador, start them off on SLIM & Biocleanse (if they have it) for the first week. We do believe EVERY person will see results with just Slim, especially now that the incredible prebiotic, XOS, has been added!! This will give them time to balance their blood sugar, start really increasing their water intake, and feel the effects of not craving sugar and junk!
The Biocleanse will help with any detox/ die off issues they might experience with the XOS (prebiotic)in the slim. I would have them only start off with one to two Biocleanse per day and see if they need to adjust up or down on their subsequent days. For anyone PRONE to constipation, I would go ahead and advise the full dose of 4 capsules per day as the bottle states. If you are prone to diarrhea, only start with ONE. Some people find taking it between meals during the day is best and some find taking it all at bedtimes works better. Whatever time they choose to take it, they need to make sure and drink 8 oz. of water with it.
Some people do find it beneficial to drink two Slims per day, one at breakfast and one at lunch to help with appetite control and cravings…however, don’t start that until at least the 2nd week to see how they do with one during the first week. Due to the prebiotic, people can experience “detox” symptoms (headaches, joint aches, fatigue, constipation or diarrhea, sweating, etc.) so hopefully one week of Slim and Biocleanse would help them get through this before adding other products. If someone is experiencing “detox” they need to increase their water and also taking Epsom salt baths and adding Milk Thistle can really help.
***Important note: If someone has an autoimmune disease (I.E. RA, lupus, fibromyalgia, etc.) they should only start with a ½ packet of the new slim. People with AI issues bodies respond differently to anything immune boosting which the Slim definitely is. Many people with Autoimmune disorders have bathroom issues so once again the Biocleanse would be great to start with the slim. ***
WATER:
The IMPORTANCE of WATER cannot be over-exaggerated. 76% of Americans are chronically dehydrated which wreaks havoc on our bodies and nothing functions as should while in a dehydrated state. The beauty of the Slim is that you will CRAVE water. So, when a new customer gets slim from me, I say, “You will want to make sure you are drinking plenty of water. But, don’t worry, you’ll crave it.”
Now, the ideal amount of water is ½ their body weight in oz. per day (so a
200lb person would need 100ozs), BUT if we tell them that from the first day, they are going to say, “No way can I do that” and run for the hills. After a couple of days on slim, shoot them a quick “how’s it going?” message. If they are having headaches, fatigue, nausea, or other icky symptoms, they most likely are NOT drinking enough water and are feeling the effects of detox on their body. (There is a file in Blessed called “The importance of water “ – this file explains why it is important and how the scale might not drop due to increased water in the first month of a wellness plan)
WEEK 2: SLIM, BIOCLEANSE & PROBIO5 (aka: “Triplex”):
Most (approx. 85%) of Americans are dealing with candida – the overgrowth of yeast in the gut (see my many files on candida & the questionnaire in the Blessed by Plexus team page files). Because our diets are terrible, our food supply is not what it was meant to be, and we take antibiotics to KILL bad bacteria (but they also kill our good bacteria), our bodies do not have the right balance of bacteria in our gut…thus allowing the yeast to grow out of control. The probio5, in simple terms, gets our guts back on track, and the Biocleanse, in simple terms, gets rid of the toxins in our body and oxygenates our cells (oxygenated cells are way less likely to get cancer or other diseases).
A lot of people feel taking the probio5 at night on an empty stomach is best for optimal health. It’s okay to take it with breakfast as well. Many people choose to take their Biocleanse at the same time for the “ease” of remembering to take it, however, Biocleanse is the one product, IMO that needs to be “played with” by each person to see what works best for him or her. An example: I was taking mine every night at bedtime with my probio5 and all seemed great. For a couple of days I took two in between lunch and dinner with 8ozs of water (like instructions say) and I was so full that I could barely eat dinner. This way would be GREAT for someone having afternoon or late evening munchies. But, once again, they need to see what works best for them. (There is a simple protocol in Blessed for probio5 and Biocleanse)
How many Probio5 should our new customer/ ambassador take when starting week 2? ONE to start with and stay there for about a week. IF they are feeling great by the end of that week, then they can bump to two. Once again, they will stay with two for about a week. IF they are feeling good, they can bump to 3 and same protocol until they are at 4. How long do they need to take four? Well, this is different for everyone. Some fighting a more serious candida issue might need to stay at 4 for months while others might only need a week of four before they back down to 3, then 2, etc. I would say they need to go by HOW THEY FEEL. If they are feeling great, they can bump back down to 3 and see if they continue to feel great. Some things to look for: do they feel energetic? Are they seeing a decrease in sugar and carb cravings? Do they have skin issues clearing up? Are they feeling less “Foggy headed”? Are they feeling less bloating, etc.
XFACTOR Plus or Xfactor (original):
If your new customer/ ambassadors are willing, have them order this from the beginning WITH THEIR SLIM or Triplex (slim, probio5, biocleanse). I would actually have them start this from about day 3 of Slim and biocleanse. If they are taking Xfactor+, they would want to first try it with a meal. If it is original Xfactor, they can take it with their Slim. Because it is aloe-based, it will help their bodies absorb ALL of the great benefits of the slim and other plexus products that much more.
NOTE for PREGNANCY: If you are trying to get pregnant or are in the first trimester you need to take the XFactor. You can add the XFactor Plus after the first trimester.
I have the link to the original Xfactor creator’s call about this in Blessed by Plexus team page– it is totally worth taking the time to listen to. This is the first vitamin we’ve ever taken where we can actually FEEL the energy because our bodies are actually ABSORBING the vitamin B6 and B12, along with all of the other vitamins in it. Chris and I take ours in the AM with our pink drink. We both take two.
Note: Everyone CAN take this in addition to the Boost, Accelerator+ or Edge, BUT I think it would be best to be spaced an hour or so apart from those because it might make them jittery taking them at same time.
MEGAX:
This is an AMAZING product! Our whole family takes this daily! You’ve probably been told by your doctor to take “fish oil” or “omegas” for heart health. Well, if you are like us, the typical omegas are huge, gross pills that make you burp fishy burps all day long. Not MegaX. It is actually plant based and it is ALL of the Omegas – 3, 6, 9 + 5 & 7. Research shows omegas help in so many areas including heart health, brain function, circulation, reducing inflammation, and the list goes on. I personally take my MegaX at night before bed & feel it helps me sleep well BUT there are those that take it in the AM with their Slim and Xfactor and feels it works that way best for them. Either way is GREAT!
***Note: If your new customer/ambassador orders this from the very start, I would be fine with them starting on day 3 of Slim & biocleanse along with their Xfactor if they have that too.***
VITALBIOME:
Vitalbiome is a totally different probiotic than Probio5. This would be good to add into someone’s regimen in month 2 of plexus AFTER they’ve addressed that candida issue with the triplex in the first month. Vitalbiome has clinically proven studies that show it helps with mood & reduces stress & anxiety in the first 30 days. It is best taken on an EMPTY stomach and can be taken at the same time as the Slim or at bedtime if you find it makes you sleepy.
BLOCK:
Block can be taken in addition to any of the Plexus products. My suggestion is easing into this product – one capsule before either lunch or dinner (your biggest meal of the day) for a few days.
Make sure you continue your Biocleanse if already taking. If not, make sure you increase your fiber as you don’t want to end up constipated. After a few days of one, if you are feeling good, you could either up it to 2 capsules before lunch or dinner, or you could do one before lunch and one before dinner. The next step would be to try two capsules. Since Block is literally blocking up to 48% of the carbs/sugar in your food intake, this product, IMO, is optimal for people that have high blood sugar or that really struggle with craving carbs/sugar. People with LOW blood sugar would want to avoid this product.
BOOST, ACCELERATOR+ & EDGE:
After the first week of only Slim, they can start with Accelerator or Boost, whichever they feel is more effective for them. The important thing to note is that Accel+ takes about 2 weeks for the body to really start seeing the effects. The Boost is a much more immediate effect. We have people that LOVE both and people that don’t love both…so my advice would be to tell them to take what you are taking and having success with. And my general rule is if a person is very active, the Boost would be better. However, people need to take BREAKS with Boost – so for ex., one week on and one week off, or two weeks on and two weeks off, etc., to prevent adrenal fatigue. If they are TIRED immediately upon taking Boost, they most likely already suffer from adrenal fatigue and should stop boost and take the triplex (Slim, probio5, and biolceanse) plus xfactor (IMO), as these four products will help with that if taken consistently. Also, women with hormonal/ thyroid issues should NOT take boost. If someone is an emotional eater, then the Accelerator + would be better. If they don’t do well on one, you can switch them to the other one after a couple of weeks (but they need to give it that long to try it).
Now, we know that some people are on a fixed budget and won’t be able to spend more than what the 2 products above cost. Usually, however, most will see the effects those two products are having on them and will decide they want to try other Plexus products. Here is the order of what we feel is important for success with the plexus products:
NOTE IF ON PRESCRIPTION MEDS FOR DEPRESSION:
You should not take Accelerator+ because of the 5HTP.
LEAN SHAKES (Mocha Vegetarian option, Chocolate and Vanilla Whey Protein) and P96:
Most people, especially women, do NOT get enough protein in their diets. We have found that by adding a protein drink in at breakfast or lunch, the body reacts with better fat loss. The newest lean shakes are incredible sources of protein, fiber, minerals vitamins, and prebiotics. If you are just beginning these shakes start with the snack size portion and work up to a full meal. Your body will adjust as you are adding more fiber rich nutrition.
METABURN:
You can take 1-2 Metaburn with your Slim, mid-morning or mid-afternoon. You choose what works best for you. Drink with a full glass of water! This product helps to support fat burning, helps reduce abdominal fat and other fat in hard to burn places, supports metabolism, supports weight loss, supports mood and focus and supports energy. This is a great product for thyroid, adrenal and hormone support as well. You shouldn’t use this product with Accellerator+.
NOTE IF ON PRESCRIPTION MEDS FOR DEPRESSION: You should not take Accelerator+ or Metaburn because of the 5HTP.
EASE:
Ease capsules are comparable to Tylenol or ibuprofen without the negative side effects. People can take them to help with temporary pain and discomfort OR they can take them to help with chronic pain as well. If dealing with chronic pain, your customer/ambassador can start with a loading dose of 2 capsules 3xs per day for the first month and then wean down to 2 capsules 2xs per day until finally they are taking 1 capsule 2xs per day.
There is some evidence that the Ease capsules added in with other products seems to increase weight loss. There are many health benefits to this product.
*** IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have an ALLERGY to SHELLFISH, you cannot take this
product. You could take the nerve support instead though.***
EASE CREAM:
Ease cream is a topical cream used to help with aches and pains. Once again, if someone has a shellfish allergy, this is not for them.
NERVE SUPPORT:
Nerve Support is an amazing little supplement! For any of your customers or ambassadors that deal with neuropathy or any nerve issues, they NEED this product! It actually helps to regenerate nerve growth but it does take awhile for this product to start noticeable working. Also, most chronic pain is rooted in nerve damage of some sort so nerve support coupled with Ease capsules is great for people dealing with chronic pain.
EXERCISE:
As with any “HEALTH PLAN,” you need to incorporate some form of exercise. If you are moving, your metabolism is revving up which will in turn lead to fat loss. If you are doing NOTHING currently, aim for 30 minutes of cardio per day – could be split up to 3 sets of 10 minutes throughout your day if you can’t do 30 minutes straight or don’t have TIME for 30 minutes. We recommend at least one hour if not one and a ½ hours of cardio per day… We also incorporate strength training in at least 2 days per week.
