Do Penis Enlargement Pills Really Work

It’s the stuff of pop culture – open your e-mail inbox and find it overflowing with penis enlargement pills spam. Crazy claims like – “Get a larger dick in days! (clearskiesmeadery.co) ” or “Instantly gain 2 inches overnight!” – make you instantly throw those e-mails into the trash folder, but — Do penis enlargement pills really work?

Do Penis Enlargement Pills Really Work?

Do these pills, sometimes even promoted by big name people – like Dallas Cowboys Superbowl coach Jimmy Johnson, work? They’ve been around for decades, even buying mainstream media commercial time. Surely, if they were all bogus snake oil, they would’ve been debunked by now, right? Well…

Yes and no.

Penis enlargement pills do work… kind of.

What are Penis Enlargement Pills?

Penis enlargement pills are herbal, natural supplements that typically claim some sort of ‘male enhancement’ properties to make your penis longer and/or thicker. They are usually comprised of herbs designed to dilate blood vessels and encourage blood flow.

False Claims by Penis Enlargement Pill Manufacturers

Because there are limited regulations concerning herbal supplements, little to no testing is required. There is also no government agency ensuring these pills do what they say they do.

To make matters worse, ‘test results’ by the manufacturer can often be skewed. These, along with hand-picked customer reviews, are then used in marketing, giving the impression that their supplements are more effective than they really are. In fact, companies, like ExtenZe, have been ordered to pay millions of dollars to settle false advertising charges.

So, will you get a larger dick by just taking penis enlargement pills — no. Not over night. Not in a week.

Just, no.

Benefits of Penis Enlargement Pills

Although penis enlargement pills aren’t going to get you a bigger penis alone, they can be a useful part of your penis exercise routine for penis enlargement. The herbs often in these pills do have vasodilation properties. This increased blood flow isn’t enough to create the microtears needed, to encourage actual new cellular growth (and result in a truly larger penis). But, it can:

Help in the cellular recovery after manual exercises or exercising with penis enlargement devices, by encouraging increased blood flow.
Give a temporary harder erection, due to the increased blood flow.
Give a temporary increased flaccid size, due to the increased blood flow.

So, pick a good penis enlargement routine (the JP90 Routine is perfect for beginners), think about using a device, like a penis pump or penis extender, and if you’re going to take penis enlargement pills, just know they are supplements – not a get-huge-quick cure.

How to Eat Healthy: The Challenge with Discussing Nutrition

Nutrition is a tricky topic. If you ask 100 nutritionists, doctors, etc. what they feel is appropriate nutrition for a healthy lifestyle, chances are you are going to get 100 different answers.

Low Fat – High Carb
Low Carb – High Fat
High Protein
Everything in Moderation
Calories In vs Calories Out
Vegetarian
Vegan
Paleo
Keto
Whole 30
Atkins
Intermittent Fasting
Isagenix
Apple Cider Vinegar

Or a multitude of variations in between!

The reality is there are 2 things you should consider when deciding what sort of nutrition advice you should follow:

What does your personal physician say? They likely know your unique medical condition better than anyone other than yourself. They know what medications (if any) you’re on. And, can monitor you for any negative side effects of a particular dietary plan.
.
What works for you? I know people who swear by every single diet plan out there. They’ve lost weight – feel better and are healthier. Then, on the flip side, I know people who have tried every single diet plan out there, and it didn’t work for them. Most of the time, it’s simply because they are unable to stick with it – it doesn’t fit with their lifestyle.

As with all recommendations here on PEGym – listen to your body and talk to your physician. Do your research and monitor your results, as well as corollary factors, such as blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, etc. In the end, it’s YOUR body. You make the final decision.

Supplements – For Dietary Nutrition Reasons and/or Male Enhancement

Supplements can be a great addition to any nutrition plan. However, if you’re considering taking a supplement, you need to be aware of some considerations. (Some of these great considerations were provided to us by ArtisticAnarchist. Thank you, AA!)

The supplement industry has essentially zero regulation in the United States.
There are an innumerable amount of products that contain ingredients (often harmful) not listed on the product label.
Supplements are also easily contaminated when being produced (typically due to the production equipment not being cleaned properly), and this increases in frequency if they’re made outside the United States.
Some supplements may affect other medications you are taking, either by interacting with them and causing negative side effects or prohibiting your body from taking in the medication needed.

So, what should you do?

Talk to your physician before adding any supplement to your nutrition plan. Make sure it won’t interact with any of your other medications.
Buy your supplements from a reputable source. The male enhancement supplements we recommend here on PEGym are ones our team members have actually used (so we know they work) and are from manufacturers we trust.

We have several good posts on male enhancement supplements, including:

Just to name a few.

I suppose the point is, and this goes with all nutrition, is to ALWAYS consider what you’re putting into your body carefully. The old adage —

You are what you eat.

Is very true. Plus, you only get one body – so take care of it!

5 Ways to Naturally Boost Your Testosterone

Testosterone.

That word is synonymous with “male.”

However, as men age, their natural levels of testosterone begin to decline. You start losing this hormone, responsible for your metabolism, muscle mass and sex drive from the age of 30. This puts you at a greater risk for:

Obesity,
Type 2 Diabetes
Depression, and
Cardiovascular Disease

Thankfully, there are ways you can counteract the ravages of time. Here are five ways you can boost your testosterone – NATURALLY!

5 Ways to Naturally Boost Your Testosterone

#1 – Eat Healthy Fats

Despite what the heavily subsidized grain industry would have you believe, healthy fats are not evil. Fat is needed for your body to be able to metabolize vitamins, like A, D, E, and K. Consuming healthy fats can also help you naturally boost your testosterone levels! Healthy fats include:

Olive oil
Coconut oil
Egg yolks
Avocados
Fatty fish
Nuts

#2 – Get the Right Cholesterol

Cholesterol is bad, right? WRONG! Testosterone is essentially made from cholesterol! So, for that reason, you need cholesterol in your diet… but, you need the right cholesterol – HDL, also known as high density lipoprotein. This “good cholesterol” is actually associated with improved cardiovascular health and weight loss, along with improvement in testosterone levels. Stay away from “bad cholesterol” – LDL, low-density lipoprotein. Good sources of HDL include most of the healthy fats list:

Fatty fish (like tuna and salmon)
Nuts and seeds (almonds, chia seeds, flaxseed, etc.)
High soluble fiber fruits (apple, pears, prunes)
Olive oil
Red wine (1 glass, a few times per week)
Berries also boost HDL

#3 – Supplements

There are several supplements you can take to help improve your testosterone levels. These include:

Zinc,
Vitamin D and
Branched Chain Amino Acids

#4 – Maximize Your Workout

Here are some tips for maximizing the testosterone effect with your workout.

Do high reps/low intensity – stay at 70 to 80% of your 1 rep max
Squats have been shown to improve testosterone
Working the large muscles of the upper back have also been shown to have positive testosterone results
Do no more of 60 minutes of moderate to high intensity workouts, as longer hours of training can decrease your testosterone.

#5 – Sleep

Lack of sleep can significantly reduce your testosterone levels. Try to get 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night and be sure to turn off any screens in the bedroom – TVs, computers, phones. Ambient light can disrupt sleep patterns. If you need sound to fall asleep, try a fan or white noise machine – definitely no radios or TVs where the sound level, tone and intensity can change and interrupt your snoozing.

9 Benefits of Maca Root & Its Potential Side Effects

Maca root is the root of a plant native to Peru. Scientifically known as Lepidium meyenii, it’s also sometimes known as ‘Peruvian ginseng.’ Maca is actually a cruciferous vegetable – think broccoli, cabbage, kale, or cauliflower, and grows at very high altitudes (above 13,000 feet!) in the Andes mountains.

The root is the edible part of the plant and has been used for generations in both Peruvian cuisine and traditional medicines. Lately, it’s increased in popularity, with claims of improved energy, increased fertility and enhanced sex drive.

What are the Benefits of Maca Root?

Maca root has numerous benefits that has helped popularize it in areas outside of Peru, especially in the form of powdered capsules, as a supplement. These include:

Very Nutritious – Like other cruciferous veggies, maca root has packed with vitamins and minerals. A 1 ounce capsule of maca root powder contains:
— Vitamin C – 133% of RDI
— Vitamin B6 – 15% of RDI
— Copper – 85% of RDI
— Iron – 23% of RDI
— Potassium – 16% of RDI
— Manganese – 10% of RDI
— Protein – 4 grams
.
Increased Libido – A 2010 scientific review of 4 randomized clinical studies found that after 6 weeks of taking maca root, both male and female participants reported increased levels of desire.
.
Increased Male Fertility – A review of 5 studies showed maca improved the semen quality of participants – both those who were healthy and those who were infertile. One study of 9 healthy men found that after consuming maca root for 4 months, participants noted a marked increase in both sperm count and motility.
.
Relieve Menopause Symptoms – As estrogen declines in aging women, menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, vaginal dryness, irritability, and sleep issues can occur. Maca root has been shown to not only help alleviate some of these symptoms, but also studies indicate maca can help protect bone health, possibly preventing osteoporosis in menopausal women.
.
Mood Improvement – Research has shown a positive correlation between maca and mood enhancement. It’s believed that the flavonoids in maca are responsible for this reduction in both depression and anxiety.
.
Improved Physical Performance and Energy – Athletes and bodybuilders use maca to:
— Increase endurance,
— Increase strength,
— Increase muscle mass, and
— Boost energy.
.
UV Protection – When maca extract was applied to the skin, like a salve, research found that it helped protect the skin from UV radiation, protecting the skin from sunburn and damage. Of course, this protection does not occur when maca is eaten.
.
Memory & Learning Improvement – Like ginseng, maca root has been shown to improve memory and learning. This is particularly true for the black variety of maca root.
.
Reduced Prostate Size – Enlarged prostate is a common issue men experience as they age. It can cause several issues, including challenges with urination. Red maca, with its high levels of glucosinolates, has been shown to help reduce the size of the prostate. This is also associated with reducing the risk of prostate cancer.

What are the Side Effects of Maca Root?

Although maca root is generally safe, it’s always important to talk to your physician to make sure you don’t have any conditions that may make it riskier to take or any current medications you are on could interact poorly. Because of the goitrogens in maca, people with thyroid issues shouldn’t take maca, as these can interfere with the normal functioning of your thyroid. Additionally, pregnant or breastfeeding women should also talk with their doctor, as the maca could be passed to the fetus or nursing child.

Probiotics: What Are They & Do I Need Them?

Here at PEGym we know that your overall health directly affects your sexual health. You can have the biggest, hardest penis in the world, but if you aren’t physically healthy, the quality of your sex life is going to be diminished. So, let’s take a minute to talk about a relatively newcomer to health scene…

Probiotics.

You’ve probably seen commercials for these digestive aids, but what are probiotics? Who should take probiotics? What do probiotics do?

What Are Probiotics?

Probiotics are the good bacteria that line your digestive tract and support your body’s ability to absorb nutrients and fight infection. There are actually 10 times more probiotics in your gut than cells in the rest of your body.

Your good bacteria is also responsible for a number of other benefits including:

Producing Vitamin B-12, butyrate and Vitamin K2
Crowding out bad bacteria, yeast and fungi
Creating enzymes that destroy harmful bacteria
Stimulating secretion of IgA and regulatory T cells

When there is an imbalance in your gut from low levels of good bacteria, it becomes a breeding ground for bad bacteria, yeast, viruses, fungi and parasites. The only way to replace the essential good bacteria in your body is to eliminate foods that feed bad bacteria and start consuming probiotic-rich foods. Some foods, such as yogurt, have probiotics naturally in them. However, many people find it difficult to consume enough of these types of probiotic-rich foods to correct the imbalance and maintain a healthy gut. For this reason, probiotic supplements are now available to help keep your digestive system working optimally.

Should I Take Probiotics?

A variety of people can benefit from taking probiotics. The ultimate goal of probiotic supplements is to increase the “good” bacteria in your body. Certain things can reduce this good bacteria – like taking antibiotics and stress. Those who have a hard time digesting lactose can also benefit from probiotics. Those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can often also benefit from probiotics. When you have enough good bacteria in your body, than your body works the way it should. Some of the most common issues that can benefit from probiotics are:

Irritable bowel syndrome
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
Infectious diarrhea (caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites)
Antibiotic-related diarrhea
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Pollen-related allergies

Research also has shown probiotics can also help with:

Maintaining healthy cholesterol levels
Skin conditions, like eczema
Urinary and vaginal health
Preventing allergies and colds
Oral health
Cellular immunity

What are the Different Types of Probiotics?Lactobacillus is the most common probiotic. This type of probiotic is found naturally in yogurt and other fermented food, like kombucha. However, many people don’t consume enough of these foods (or simply don’t like the taste) to really improve their digestive health. There are several types of lactobacillus bacteria.

Lactobacillus acidophilus can be found in the intestinal tract in the gut. Lactobacillus acidophilus may assist in maintaining healthy intestinal flora.
.
Lactobacillus plantarum is one of the most beneficial bacteria in your body. Lactobacillus plantarum is known for its suggested health benefits as a form of digestive support. It is also suggested to support healthy levels of cholesterol.
.
Lactobacillus Paracasei is known for its suggested benefits in helping reduce the adverse effects of diarrhea in infants. It is also suggested to help reduce pollen related allergies and some have even had some reported benefits relating to the relief of symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome.

Bifidobacterium lactis is known for its suggested benefits in stimulating the body’s immune response. Bifidobacterium lactis is also suggested to enhance cellular immunity in the elderly.

Saccharomyces boulardii is a yeast in probiotics that can also help fight diarrhea, plus help with other digestive issues.

Which Probiotic Should I Take?

There are an increasing number of probiotics products out there. Our favorite is Probiotic 40-Billion. As the name suggests, there are 40 billion probiotic bacteria in every capsule. This includes:

Lactobacillus acidophilus,
Bifidobacterium lactis,
Lactobacillus plantarum, and
Lactobacillus Paracasei

Plus, right now, they have a buy 3, get 1 free offer going on. So, healthy gut PLUS saving money EQUALS a win, in my book!

NOTE: As always, if you have a medical concern, please see your doctor. Before taking any supplement, be sure to get approval from your doctor. As with all supplements, these are not evaluated by the United States Food and Drug Administration and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.

inSHAPE Fitness Program: The Modern Way to Get Fit

Expert Trainer and Nutritionist, Jake Kocherhans’ inSHAPE fitness program helps those looking to improve their health and fitness. As we’ve talked about for years, your general fitness is critical to maximizing your sexual fitness. Strength and cardio stamina are key to be being a great lover. Plus, a healthy body weight and strong cardio system is needed for the hardest erection possible.

This is where fitness programs, like inSHAPE and nutrition programs like Isagenix, really come into play.

What makes inSHAPE so different from other programs out there is the importance they place on adaptation. Without proper phasing, it can be easy for our body’s to become adapted to what they’re doing and stop progressing. You may see great results initially, but if you’re not incorporating different stimulus into your training, those results will eventually begin to plateau. With inSHAPE, you’ll have six months worth of phased programming designed to take your body through a different style of training every four weeks. With new workouts provided every two weeks, you’ll never get tired of the same old routine.

The other factor that separates inSHAPE Fitness from other programs is the way they incorporate frequency into our program. It only makes sense that the more you’re constantly stimulating your muscles, the quicker they will get stronger & grow. As more and more science comes out supporting the idea of increasing frequency as a means to promote muscle growth, inSHAPE made it a priority to incorporate it into the program in a way that would maximize your results without sacrificing adequate recovery

For less than 50 cents a day, you’ll have unlimited access to everything you need to achieve your fitness goals:

6 MONTHS OF PHASED EXERCISES designed specifically to avoid plateaus and help you see results week after week.
.
EXERCISE LIBRARY with instructional videos & tutorials on how to perform each movement properly.
.
FULL NUTRITION GUIDE & MEAL CALCULATOR that will provide you with a full understanding of exactly what you need to eat to reach your goals.
.
FREE E-BOOK covering in-depth tips & strategies for how to maximize your time in the gym.

How to Build a Stronger Heart

A strong heart is critical to overall health. But, it’s also super-critical to your sexual health. A healthy cardiovascular system means you’ll have the hardest erections possible, with the most athletic stamina to use them. (No tiring out mid-coitus!) So, let’s look at how you can build a stronger heart!

American Heart Month, which helps raise awareness for cardiovascular health throughout February, is now in our rearview mirror, but better heart health should always be on the road ahead. Chances are you or someone you know is dealing with poor cardiovascular health as only one out of every three adults with high LDL cholesterol has the condition under control, according to the CDC.

But American Heart Month and heart health awareness aren’t about frightening statistics. Quite the opposite, actually! We have an opportunity to think more about overall heart health and help ourselves and the ones we care about live healthier, happier lives.

Boost Your Shake!

Making sure you get essential nutrients like fiber and burning fat (especially visceral fat) can already support a strong heart. Heart Shake Booster is another tool that targets heart health by helping fight high cholesterol.* This, along with a heart-healthy diet and regular exercise, is just another powerful tool in the Isagenix product line to help reduce risk of heart disease.

Boost Your Diet!

Doctors and nutritionists have their own variations of the perfect heart-healthy diet, and the science of nutrition is continually evolving, but the Mayo Clinic gives a few general rules to follow for a proper diet that supports overall heart health:

Control your portions: The 30-Day Isagenix System recommends a 400- to 600-calorie meal when you’re not enjoying an IsaLean™ Shake (with Heart Shake Booster, of course!). But what does a 400- to 600-calorie meal look like? Here are a few ideas to keep those portions under control with delicious, nourishing food.
Eat more produce: That means more fresh fruits and more fresh vegetables. They’re loaded with nutrients and fiber and great for snacking! If you’re looking for additional phytonutrients to complement the fruits and vegetables in your diet, you can always add a scoop of Isagenix Greens™ or Isagenix Fruits to your IsaLean Shake.
Choose whole grains: Whole-wheat bread, whole-wheat pasta…You get the idea. The next time you’re offered “white or brown” as a rice choice, go with the latter.
Reduce unhealthy fat: Hydrogenated oils and other processed fats need to go! Good fats found in avocados, olive oil, or the omega-3 fish oil tablets found in Complete Essentials™ Daily Packs are a better alternative to the trans fats found in other junk.
Eat lean protein: Chicken breast, turkey, and fish are all great examples of lean protein – you probably noticed how much they’re used in the recipes above. But vegetarians can also get their lean protein from IsaLean Shake Dairy-Free, which uses high-quality pea and brown rice protein.
Lower sodium intake: Who doesn’t love a salty, savory snack? A little is OK, but a lot can be problematic. Learn ways on how you can reduce your sodium intake here – Tired of Getting Up to Pee at Night? Try This!
Plan ahead: If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Many people fail on their diet simply because they didn’t plan ahead, plan ahead and set yourself up for success.
Occasional treats are OK: A healthy diet is sometimes difficult, and we need the occasional treat to help keep us on course! Be sure these treats are small and only every once in awhile.

Boost Your Lifestyle!

There’s no such thing as a magic pill or a magic powder. Heart Shake Booster is a fantastic tool to help combat high cholesterol and help reduce the risk of heart disease,* but it’s just one part of a healthy lifestyle to help build a strong heart. A heart-healthy diet and lots of good exercise are essential to a happy, healthy lifestyle. So, boost your shake, boost your diet, and boost your workout routine! American Heart Month is behind, but a better life is just ahead.

*Foods and supplements containing at least 0.65 g per serving of plant sterol esters, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 1.3 g, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. A serving of Heart Shake Booster supplies 0.65 grams of plant sterol esters.

Tired of Getting Up to Pee at Night? Try This!

If you wake up one or more times per night you know how nocturia – the medical term for it – can really disrupt your sleep pattern. This sleep disruption can result in higher levels of stress during the day, lower energy levels, and can impact both your professional and personal relationships.

A new presented at the European Association of Urology conference found one thing that might help…

Eat less salt!

In the study, researchers from Japan studied 321 men and women who suffered from nocturia and had higher than recommended levels of salt consumption. Participants were asked to reduce their salt consumption, over a 12-week period. 70% of the participants were able to do this, dropping their consumption from 10.7 grams per day to 8 grams, on average.

Not only did these participants report waking up less often to pee in the middle of the night, but they also reported improvements in the sensation of urinary urgency, and a better quality of life overall. (Most likely due to their enhanced sleep.)

Of course, the primary limitation of this study was that all participants typically ate way more than the 2.3 grams of salt recommended daily. So, more studies need to be done on people suffering from nocturia who eat lower salt levels, to see if the result is the same.

Still, these first results seem to tie salt and peeing at night together. In fact, some of the participants of the study actually increased their already heavy salt intake – going from 9.6 grams to 11 grams per day, over 12 weeks. These participants noted that as their sodium levels increased, so did the number of times they had to get up in the night to urinate.

So, although more research needs to be done, reducing your salt intake if you wake up in the middle of the night to pee, is worth giving it a try. Your heart will definitely thank you — and your bladder may too! Here are some easy ways to reduce your sodium levels.

Buy no-salt added canned veggies and beans – or better – fresh or frozen fresh!
If you have regular canned vegetables and beans, rinse them before cooking them
Skip the pickle – although low in calories, these are heavy in sodium. In fact, a medium spear has nearly 800mg (more than 1/3 of your recommended daily intake) of sodium!
Use spices instead of salt, when cooking. There are so many amazing spices out there! You can really take your cooking to a whole new place with this one!

Use low sodium soy sauce – regular soy sauce has nearly 900mg of sodium in just one tablespoon
Don’t always trust “low sodium” products – as you can see in the image below, even with “low sodium” products, a sandwich is still really high in sodium. Add a pickle spear and some potato chips, and you can quickly reach your daily limit in one meal!

Skip processed meats and cold cuts. Bake your own turkey breast and slice it up!
Stay away from processed foods altogether. If it comes in a box, can, or bag – don’t buy it. Mail order meal prep services now make it so easy to cook high-quality, easy to prepare meals from scratch – and you don’t even have to go to the grocery store!
Take the salt off the table. If it’s sitting on the table, it’s too easy to add it to your plate.

Believe it or not, the preference for salty foods is an acquired taste and, thankfully, can be unacquired. Give yourself 2 months of eating less sodium and your tastebuds will be retrained! You’ll start to appreciate the other flavors of meals and start enjoying the complexity that you’re missing under all that salt.

Isagenix Customers Lost HALF Their Size: Featured in People Magazine

We’ve been partnering with Isagenix for a few months now, and I know MrKimberly has not only lost nearly 30 pounds, he’s also reduced his A1C levels (bringing him down from borderline diabetic to normal range!), increased his good cholesterol and decreased his bad cholesterol! I’ve personally seen both a reduction in my body fat percentage and new PR times on my runs! But, it’s great to see so many others getting amazing results — and having these results published for the world to see.

Check out some of the stories featured in PEOPLE Magazine below. These Isagenix customers have lost half of their size! If you’re looking to lose weight, be healthier, and have more energy — I suggest starting with the 30-Day System.

And, as always, Isagenix comes with a
30-day, no questions asked, money-back guarantee!

Losing half your weight is not an easy task. Isagenix Customers Robin Janes and Kenya LaShelle Elliot were recently featured in PEOPLE’s “Half Their Size” issue, and both credit Isagenix with helping them transform their bodies. Learn how Robin lost over 200 pounds, how Kenya lost over 400 pounds, and what they do to keep the weight off!

Robin’s Story

Robin Janes - Isagenix Customers Lost HALF Their Size — Robin’s Before Photo at 450 pounds

Ever since birth, Robin remembers being big. Once she reached her teens and twenties, the weight continued to pile on.

Janes realized she was at her highest point when she couldn’t buy a scale that went up “high enough” for her. “I went to my friend’s family business where they weigh huge industrial tubs,” she recalls. “That’s how I found out I was 450 lbs.”

She hit rock bottom when she had to put her education on hold because she couldn’t fit into the desk chairs at her university, where she was studying to become a teacher.

Robin was introduced to Isagenix by her best friend, and although she was a bit hesitant at first, she gave the IsaLean™ Shakes a try. Her skepticism quickly faded, and she ordered her first pak, started exercising, and changed her diet. The weight started melting off, and eventually, Robin lost over 280 pounds!

“I didn’t have to think about how to cook a healthy meal while I was first starting out,” she says. “I would have a shake and know that I was getting balanced nutrition. From there, I would learn how to cook healthy over time.”

She incorporated activity slowly, going on short walks and swimming. Now, after losing 280 lbs., she plays volleyball, goes to the gym and — most importantly — has been able to continue working toward her education degree.

“I’m back in school. I can work anywhere. I’m not limited,” she says. “I feel like before all the doors were closed for me. Now they’re all open.”

Kenya’s Story

Kenya LeShelle before photo - Isagenix Customers Lost HALF Their Size — Kenya’s Before Photo at nearly 600 pounds

Kenya spent years numbing emotional pain with food, eating upwards of 20,000 calories a day. Her weight peaked at almost 600 pounds, and she was ready to give up. Things only got worse due to some serious health challenges, causing Kenya to have to restrict physical activity, leaving her confined to her bed almost 24 hours a day. She felt trapped, yet she continued to eat.

In 2014, Kenya was introduced to Isagenix by a friend from church and began to change her diet by replacing meals with IsaLean Shakes. She also started working on the mental and emotional issues that had haunted her for years. Kenya began to lose weight through her change in diet, and she was able to reintroduce physical activity to her life. Kenya’s confidence was boosted, and she eventually lost over 400 pounds* and has kept the weight off ever since!

Recently, Kenya launched Project 1,000, a tool she created to inspire and change 1,000 lives within 90 days. She will be touring the country sharing her story and hopes to one day become an internationally renowned speaker. She is determined to increase people’s knowledge about Isagenix and hopes to share the importance of Isagenix and the Isagenix lifestyle with people in her community, emphasizing that it’s a solution that can help everyone, no matter where they are in life.

“I want to breathe life and inspiration back into other people,” she says. “I want to make an impact.”

Got to love how Kenya is making such a positive change in the world!
