How Can Shakeology Improve Your Digestion?

How Can Shakeology Improve Your Digestion?

Many people suffer from digestive symptoms and problems. Some of the main complaints that people have when it comes to digestive problems are bloating, gas, stomach pains, constipation, etc. For each of these symptoms and conditions there is usually an underlying cause as to why they are happening.
Changing your diet to one that's filled with healthy ingredients rich in prebiotics and probiotics, as well as staying active, can often times be the solution to digestive imbalance. Many of my customers have told me that once they started drinking Shakeology and started getting active, their digestion problems have gotten better or disappeared all together.

"Ever since I started drinking Shakeology, I no longer binge on the bad stuff. Now my skins glows and my digestion is where it should be."– Lizabeth B.

"Shakeology keeps the "flow" going. I now go more often and it is a lot easier. I don't have the issues with constipation that I use to have." - Edward G.

"Shakeology has improved my social life. I now can go out with my friends and I don't have to worry about my issues with irritable bowel syndrome. I am so thankful for Shakeology! Brooklynn W.

Shakeology contains many ingredients that are beneficial to the digestive system such as prebiotics, probiotics and digestive enzymes. Probiotics are strains of live, "friendly" bacteria that help the digestive process. Prebiotics are natural components of certain plants. They help support the "friendly" bacteria in your digestive tract and they may also help with the absorption of minerals such as calcium. Digestive enzymes, from plant sources such as pineapples and papayas, help your body break down food into its individual components, making the nutrients easier to absorb. Cooking can destroy food's natural digestive enzymes, so there's a good chance that you don't get enough of them in your diet.

Drinking a glass of Shakeology daily can help move things along, so to speak, because of the prebiotics, probiotics, whole food ingredients, fiber, and digestive enzymes. If you are seeking good health, the place to start is in your digestive tract. Healthy digestion is key to detoxify your body each day and helps prevent unhealthy diseases.

What Does a Beachbody Coach do?

So, you've probably heard the catch phrase, "Get fit, Get paid" or something along those lines, and you're interested in becoming a Beachbody Coach, but you're not sure what that means exactly. Let me explain how I see my role as a Beachbody Coach as simply as I possibly can:

1) Be a Product of the Product:  This means I live the life that I am encouraging others to live.  It means that I stand behind my actions - I use the fitness programs, I drink shakeology, I eat healthy, I rely on my team for support and motivation and do the same for others during their journey, I do daily personal development, and I run my business like a business.  Not only does this give me first-hand knowledge about the Beachbody products and opportunity, but I have developed such a strong passion in regards to the results I have seen in myself and in my teammates that I love talking about Beachbody and the opportunity it presents to others - when you commit, you will see your life transform for the better! 

2) Lend Support to Others:  When you become a Coach for more than just receiving the awesome 25% discount, part of your responsibility is to support others by helping others reach their fitness goals through the use of Beachbody products.  How is this done?  Well, I have a number of ways that I teach my coaches on my team to really stir up motivation in their team's customer and coach's lives to enable them to, first, open the package and push play for the first time, and second, to finish the program so they see the results that they want.  They are actions that do not take a lot of time out of your day, but can make a huge difference in the lives of others!  This is especially important when you hit the Emerald Coaching level because then Beachbody starts entrusting you with the customers that buy products through the infomercials and online.  We do not want people to come in as customers and feel alone - our job is to welcome them into our family and show them that we are here for them if they need us.

 3) Share the Beachbody Opportunity with Friends, Family, and Everyone Else:  The key word there is SHARE, not sell.  I am not a salesperson.  I have never considered myself a salesperson, nor do I think selling at all costs is something I would be good at.  What makes this different?  The Beachbody products and the Business of Coaching works; it not only works, but it transforms lives!  It took me some time to see that myself and to build my own story with the products and the company, but once I saw how great an effect it had on my life and the lives of my teammates, I got so excited that I feel as though I have to share this opportunity with those around me.  When people work the business like they are supposed to (and I provide my coaches with all the tools they need to know to be successful), they find a passion in the lifestyle we promote and sharing this opportunity is extremely easy.  I'm not pushing someone to buy something they are not ready for because it does take the desire to change to see success with this.
