Patti McCully - Healthy, Wealthy & Wise

Am I the only one who's struggling these days? I told you I'd start writing about things I'm doing to stay healthy, but to say I'm having a hard time putting my finger to keyboard is an understatement. So here's a quick snippet...

Did you know your skin, specifically the acid mantle, is an important component in keeping pathogens out. Many (most?) soaps and body washes destroy this protective layer, and it can take anywhere from 14 hours to two months to rebuild itself. And it can only do that if you don't remove it again. So please, always use pH balanced washes. My favorites are in the comments below. They help your skin retain its protective layer and keep it soft and healthy.

The acid mantle is a very fine, slightly acidic film on the surface of human skin acting as a barrier to bacteria, viruses and other potential contaminants that might pe*****te the skin.[1] Sebum is secreted by the sebaceous gland and when mixed with sweat becomes the acid mantle. The pH of the skin...

Hey all, it's been a hundred or so years since I posted here. I love to write about health topics but I didn't feel I was reaching as many people as I wanted to (TY FB algorithms). So I took a break. But the coronavirus has made me think about things we can do to protect ourselves against these ever evolving pathogens. Because of that evolution, we're always behind the curve with vaccine or treatment development. And those rarely come without risks, side effects, and unintended consequences. So what do we do? I, personally, focus on protection through a strong immune system. That's one thing we can all do. Would you be interested in knowing methods I use to do that? A yes or a like tells me you've received this and if I get any of those, I'm happy to write up what I know helps me towards my healthy immune system goals.

As you may know, I skipped the Shaklee conference this year to participate in a dog show. At the conference, Shaklee introduced their 100 Days to Amazing challenge. Many things in my life have shown me that Shaklee is the career for me, so I am accepting this challenge (even though I'm already Amazing lol).

My friend, Suni, lost her mom to cancer yesterday, and she is dedicating her next 100 days to her. I love that idea and think I'll dedicate my 100 days to all of my friends who are surviving, fighting, and who have left this earth. Because Prevention is the key, I'm spreading that message with the new Shaklee Life Plan, the best, most comprehensive nutrition system in the world, available now. Please watch the three short videos on my Better Health website and then message me to learn more.

Back in the 70s, I was introduced to a company named Shaklee. Hubby and I were hippies and we felt a responsibility for protecting the environment for future generations, and we fell in love with the environmentally safe cleaners. As we got older, I knew we needed to supplement. I experimented with…

I just watched this wonderful video. Tiffany's mom, Nary Vin*, is an immigrant from Cambodia who saw Shaklee as a wonderful opportunity. Tiffany saw Shaklee as being for "old people", until she saw her mom's transformation. She originally built her large Shaklee business to pay for college, and while she will be going to Harvard this fall, she sees this business as so much more. I hope you enjoy this conversation!!

Tiffany Vin took some time out of her tour of the Shaklee World Headquarters in Pleasanton, CA, to talk with Chairman and CEO Roger Barnett about how she got...

MORNIN' ALL! Have you missed me? Probably didn't even notice I wasn't posting. Facebook changed their algorithm and my posts are distributed to almost nobody. In one respect, this is a good thing since I (personally) now see more of my friend's posts (although their algorithm on that is screwy as well!) But it's made it harder for me to share health / inspirational tips that I so love doing. I wanted you to know that I've created a Facebook group to facilitate a challenge that I'm starting ... I am challenging you feel healthier by consuming the Best Breakfast in America. If you see this post, and if you are interested in joining me in this challenge, please message me and I'm happy to give you information! Thanks for reading. :-/

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ...

"Remember that deciding is not doing, and wanting is not choosing. Transformation will take place not because of what you decide you want, but because of what you choose to do." -- Eric Greitens, former Navy Seal
