Is Shakeology a Whole Food? Even though the bag ingredients label indicates that Shakeology really does consist of whole food products, it's hard to understand why that should matter or what it really means. My opinion is that you shouldn't be putting anything into your body in the name of health and wellness that isn't derived from nature. (Of course, medications veer from this theory, which is a different topic, altogether.)
But, because Shakeology is a powder, it's difficult to know that it's really something that is derived from nature. First of all, an experiment I did recently should give some credit to the claim that Shakeology is a whole food product. When mixed up with water and left sitting for a few days, it molded and got disgusting! Whole foods rot over time. Processed ones stay good forever, because of all of the chemicals and synthetic ingredients that they are jam packed full with. (Cue the McDonald's experiment where the cheeseburger lasted for something like two years out in the elements. Gross!)
My experiment delivered the results I expected: that when left out to decompose, it did. To me, this indicates that Shakeology genuinely is a real food. So, when you are replacing your breakfast (or another meal) with it, you can rest assured that you're not just drinking some artificially processed gunk. You are actually consuming REAL food, just in a condensed form.
However, I realize that others may need more convincing. So, let's first look at what the standard definition for "raw food" is. It's generally defined as uncooked plant foods. This description fits Shakeology.
The creators of Shakeology trekked across the globe to find the superfoods they needed to make it a nutrient-rich product for customers. The superfoods are brought back using no chemicals, pesticides or other impure methods. All ingredients are handled with the utmost care to guarantee they are untainted.
The Hunt for the Best Quality Whole Foods in the World
Once the superfoods arrive, great effort is taken to dry them so that they can be pulverized into powder form. With over 70 ingredients, it was impossible to utilize only a single drying method, so several are used. Some are dried naturally in the sun, while others are air-dried at temperatures less than 115 degrees F. Some are freeze-dried. Beachbody does NOT use drum or spray drying procedures over 115 degrees F or ultra-high temperature pasteurization like many companies. And, the ingredients are NOT irradiated. (In the nutrition world, it is believed that exposing whole foods to temperatures over 115 degrees F affects how well they are digested and absorbed into the body. The makers of Shakeology are well aware of this and have followed these guidelines in their efforts.)
The makers of Shakeology had a goal to use the plants in their whole forms in order to preserve nature and avoid processing the ingredients as much as possible. They understand that using extracts from a food often results in missing some of the vital nutrients and vitamins that are its main benefits. With the sum of the ingredients in Shakeology, there are hundreds of phytochemicals and nutritional cofactors present that act in various roles to promote health. It would be a shame if actions were taken that would deplete the ingredients of their nutritional power punch...so, extreme measures are taken to preserve their worth.
It's important to Beachbody to get things "right!" Back when vegan strawberry was going to be introduced, production dates had to be backed up, because they were having difficulties getting the ingredients to dry appropriately. Instead of going the easy route and just increasing temperatures or using other "standard" methods, the creators persevered in their efforts and found a solution that didn't include exposing the ingredients to high temperatures.
Why this Doctor Loves that Shakeology is derived from Whole Foods
To some of you, this may sound like a lot of mumbo jumbo about production methods, drying techniques and lab quality control. But, to me, it's important information about a product I consume and give to my family. I want to make sure it's the highest quality and consists of real food, not synthetic extracts or isolates, like most nutrition shakes on the market.
If you're interested in the "healthiest meal of the day" and want to try out Shakeology on your own, let me know! It comes with my highest recommendation!

Happy Tuesday!! I am writing this message because Team Beachbody recently let the cat out of the bag on their BIGGEST SPECIAL EVER The Spring Into Health Promotion! I am really stinking excited because #1 I think you are getting an absolute steal with this offer and secondly it gives you the flexibility to pick and choose what workout you want to do based on your current needs.
I love Beachbody On Demand because you do not have to continually purchase new programs every time that you finish one. It allows you to pay a 1 year membership and you have access to every single fitness program that Beachbody has ever released plus all new releases for an entire year! So, for example let’s say you start out with the 21 Day Fix and you loved it but you want something more intense, you can just open up your library and move to the 21 Day Fix Extreme or Core De Force. Where previously you would have to order the program, wait for it to arrive and then start! Another thought, let’s say you are gung ho with starting your fitness journey with Core De Force and you order it and press play on the first workout and you realize it is not going to be a good fit for you. You do not have to send it back, no returns or stalling your fitness journey. You simply open up On Demand and choose another workout that fits you! It truly does prevent you from excuses and helps you to customize your fitness experience to meet your needs.
As a Coach I see customers all the time who complete 21 days of the 21 Day Fix and then just fall off the wagon because they don’t know what they want to do next. This solves that down time in the process of deciding what is next. Plus you have all of the nutrition tips, program manuals, schedule of workouts listed on your Beachbody Page. When you have me as a coach you also get access into my monthly support and accountability groups which the next one is starting on the 1st of May which is perfect timing! We are Springing into our Health & Fitness together and would love to have you join. I will help you set realistic goals for your lifestyle and then choose a program that fits your needs. Every person in the group replaces 1 meal a day with Shakeology and then checks into the group daily to log your workouts, Shakeology/Food. I provide you with daily support, motivation, accountability, tips, recipes, meal planning and more. My job is to make sure that this is the VERY BEST $160 YOU HAVE EVER INVESTED IN!!! No more throwing money away, it’s time to get results that truly become a healthy lifestyle forever!!! Does that sound like something you would like to do?
Have you heard of Beachbody On Demand?
Well, Beachbody On Demand All Access is our newest feature that allows you to stream every single fitness program that Beachbody has ever released plus all new releases in a 12 month period right to your phone, ipad, laptop or any other streaming device (Roku, Apple TV, Firestick ect….). You also have access to the Fixate Cooking Show and also my support and accountability groups that I run through our challenge tracker app.
The All Access Pass is awesome because it allows me to customize my fitness program to my needs on a daily and weekly basis, it gives me all of the nutrition guides, program manuals and tracking sheets plus the Fixate Cooking Show which helps you navigate the nutrition plan and then you are connected with me as your coach in my challenge groups to help you start, troubleshoot along the way and get the results that you want! I love it!! I truly feel like I am able to help YOU customize your program and help you get amazing results.
With all that being said the Challenge Pack for Beachbody OnDemand All Access was at $199 and that was a pretty great deal! I mean you legit were getting over $6K in workouts! But Beachbody is doing a Spring Into Fitness Promotion starting TODAY around 3PM PACIFIC TIME!!!! The price has dropped to $160 USD which is just incredible! Seriously the cost of Shakeology is $130 +tax and shipping so if you look at it this way you are basically for $30 more getting an entire year of health, fitness, accountability and support! LIFE CHANGING PEOPLE! I think it’s a deal that is CRAZY not to take advantage of plus I know it won’t last long! The price WILL go back up at the end of April!!!
They are for a very limited time only running a special where you get:
Beachbody On Demand All Access for 1 full year
A 30 Day Supply of Shakeology
The Portion Fix program
Access into my Spring Into Fitness Accountability and Support Group in April
Discounted price and shipping all for $160 US (previously at $199 + tax and shipping)

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook you saw that something new is coming to the beachbody world!! Team Beachbody launched a brand new option for its customers and coaches called the All-Access Beachbody On Demand Challenge Pack. It is crazy to think about life just 5 years ago. Streaming was really brand new, people still had DVD/VCR combos and everything was moving in a DVD fashion. You still went to the Red Box or or Blockbuster to rent a movie. Seriously, that was Steve and I's typical weekend routine. We would head over to Blockbuster and browse the rows of videos to find the one we were going to watch that night. Those days are gone, literally you never even have to leave your house. You can pull up netflix or Amazon Prime or On Demand and you are good to go right from your couch. Times really have changed in just a few short years.
So why am I telling you this? Well, because times are changing for fitness as well. It is still the same process to getting healthy and feeling your best. You have to put in the work to get the results and there is no quick fix. But, there are now more options than ever to have access to the tools that can help you achieve the look and feel that you want! Team Beachbody came into my life 3 years ago with a program called T25 by Shaun T. Have you heard of it? It seriously kicked my BUTT and it totally changed my life. Every morning I would go to the basement pop in my DVD to my laptop and workout in our basement while my kids were still sleeping. I learned how to eat clean through my coach and our challenge group. I found support in other moms that were struggling to lose weight post pregnancy, juggle mom life and still find time for themselves. I was forever changed because of the relationships built in that 90 days, my coach and T25, 21 Day Fix, Clean Eating and Shakeology. I know that the model of Team Beachbody Challenge groups work! I know that it is MY secret sauce and while it might not be everyone’s cup of tea it truly did and still does work for me and my family.
I am thankful that Beachbody is innovate and is constantly thinking about how they can provide the utmost support & accountability to their customers and coaches. I love that Beachbody didn’t dig in their heels and resist the change in times but instead embraced that our world is moving more digital and they have created this incredible Beachbody On Demand platform and all the programs that it includes for us to get results.
So last week the CEO of Team Beachbody Carl Daikeler announced a new option for anyone to take advantage of. The Annual All-Access Beachbody On Demand Challenge Pack & Membership which provides total access to every program available on Beachbody ON Demand, plus future releases. So that means that every single program Beachbody has ever created from P90X, Turbofire, Insanity, 10 Minute Trainer to new ones like Cize, T25, 22 Minute Hard Corps, Hammer and Chisel, Insanity Max30, 21 Day Fix and Fix Extreme, Core De Force and more are on a digital library you can access plus anything new that Beachbody releases you get INSTANT access at no additional charge for an entire 12 months. That is incredible!!!! Starting on December 27th you will be able to purchase either an annual membership or the Annual All Access Beachbody On Demand + Shakeology Challenge Pack. This is an incredible opportunity for me to help you get even better results.
WHY is this so Awesome?
So I’m going to give you my personal opinion on the new feature. I love the All Access Challenge Pack because it gives you:
1 Year Membership to Beachbody On Demand (BOD) with all content included, plus future releases.
Shakeology (choice of 30-day supply on home direct)
Portion Fix (includes 7 piece portion control container system, eating guide, large blue container and shaker cup)
Business Starter Kit Waived if you choose the coach enrollment option.
You get all of this for $199 for the entire year (12 months) and there is no monthly fee.
The points I listed above is worth thousands of dollars and for 12 months you are getting access to everything that Beachbody has ever created plus anything new through the year. That is awesome but the real reason I am excited is this. You can purchase this pass and together we can choose to start with for example, 21 Day Fix. You can complete 21 Days of the program, at the end of the 21 days we can have a discussion around what program you are going to do next. What your goals are, what you have already accomplished and how we can help to tweak your plan to get you results. Maybe after the 21 day fix you decide you want to add in more cardio. We can move over to T25 or Core De Force as the next program. Or let’s say you have an injury that is preventing you rom completing the 21 Day Fix, we can switch programs and move over to the 3 week yoga retreat until you are feeling well enough to go back to your T25 workout. The key here is options that help YOU achieve YOUR goals. We can mix, match, tweak and change your plan so that you do not lose steam, you do not get bored and YOU get the results that you want.
Each fitness program through BOD has the calendar of workouts and what to do when. Each program has a nutrition guide you can download, tracking sheets and you have me to help walk you through the program to make sure you are getting the results that you want. This is not about just starting and completing 1 program, it is about moving through each stage of your journey and entering into a lifestyle of proper nutrition and fitness.
I love this option because it gives you flexibility and creativity. But the most important part of this whole thing is the SUPPORT! Sure, anyone can just buy a program but where you see most people getting results is when they have a community of support around them helping them to get results! That is where the magic truly happens!
I used to be that girl that went to the gym, that bought the membership on January 1st and VOWED that this year would be the year I would make a change. I truly did have good intentions, but by the end of January I would find myself making excuses, eating ice cream after my workouts and frustrated with my results. It doesn’t matter how awesome the gym membership is. If you don’t know what to do when you get there, it is going to be wasted time and money for you.
So this year is your year! If you are like me and you need structure, support, guidance and accountability then Beachbody might be your magic ticket. I didn’t like working out in public, I enjoy my own home space, and I like that I can workout when it works for me and around my kids schedules.
I am inviting you to #1 take advantage of the All Access Pass and make me your coach! Let me help you set some new goals to achieve your healthy and fulfilling life. Whether you want to be a part of my accountability and support groups or not I am here to help.
I am kicking off my next group called The New Year, New You Health Bet Group on January 2nd through the Beachbody Challenge Tracker App. You will set realistic and achievable goals, log your workouts, your nutrition and Shakeology daily through our app based program and I will be there 24/7 to provide support, accountability, guidance, recipes and meal planning to make this a lasting lifestyle change. Does this sound like something you would like to do? Then read here for all the details.

Every year we spend the end of December reflecting on what we did or did not accomplish in 2016. I know for me it’s a time for me to sit back and list out what I am proud of, what I am grateful for, what I am genuinely blessed to have achieved in the past year. It is also a time where I look at the things that I didn’t accomplish and ask myself “why”? What factors influenced my results? What were the things I could have controlled to get closer to the goal? Or simply, was it just not time yet? Could I have done a fingernail more?
Often the answer is a mix of things. Yes, there are things that I could of done “a fingernail more” with. For example, I could of been 90% on my nutrition instead of 80-20 and sometimes 50-50. I could of passed up on the margaritas, the cocktails by the pool, the extra pie on thanksgving, but that wouldn’t be LIVING to me! For me, it’s about balance and seasons of life where I am really on top of my nutrition and then other planned out times where I allow myself to enjoy simple pleasures in moderation. Did it affect my results, of course it did. But, I am absolutely ok with it! Those were things that I wanted to do and I placed value on and it was purely relaxation and vacation.
I have had seasons in my health and fitness where I was 100% over the top dedicated to my results and my weight loss. I needed to have that intense dedicated periods in my journey in order to get to my goal weight. For me, I wanted those results so bad that I was willing to do whatever it took to get there. That was also the time in my life that I learned how to Eat Clean, when I transformed my body and lost 36 lbs after having 4 kids. It was a time when my entire family was at its unhealthiest and we were pinching pennies to make ends meet. I had to go all in, in my mind there was just no other way!
Through that process I learned the importance of food as fuel, the quality of ingredients is more important than the packaging on the box and that I could lose weight and have more energy from eating real foods vs counting calories. My life was forever changed from that first leap of faith that I took in the “summer slim down challenge group” that I joined.
Three years later and I’m still eating clean, I’m still working out consistently and I feel like I have balance and I truly enjoy life. I have made it my mission to teach other women how to embrace their bodies, to transform their body and mind and learn how to fuel your body for energy and strength.
I know that January is a big time of year for us to start setting goals for our nutrition and health. I have really worked hard over the past 3 years to teach other moms and just plain busy women how to make fitness and nutrition a part of their lifestyle and daily routine.
I am getting ready to kick off an epic January 2017 New Year, New You Challenge Group!
What is a Challenge Group?
A challenge group is a closed online group where no one but the members of the group can see what is being posted. This particular group is 5 weeks long. We will start the first week with our Monday mindset video plus everything you need to know to get started right! How to navigate the nutrition plan, how to plan out your workouts, how to make yourself a priority, what should be on your grocery list, snack ideas, recipes and more!
Week 2 starts your official workouts and nutrition plan together. For the next 4 weeks I will provide you with videos, tips, tricks, recipes, meal planning and accountability. You will check into the app based program on your phone or ipad daily to see my daily information and to log your workout, nutrition and Shakeology. This is a safe place for you to share any days that are really hard, moments where you want to reach for something that isn’t on the plan and of course celebrate all of the victories that come your way! The goal is to give you constant support so that you can change your habits and create new ones.
For me personally this was the game changer. Anyone can go to the gym, anyone can get on the treadmill, anyone can lift weights. But, it is what you do outside of the gym, the things you tell yourself in private, the food choices you make that are either going to cancel out that workout or bring you closer to the goal. Let me be your support system along the way.
Fill out the form below so that I can chat with you about what program would best meet your needs.
You must be willing to commit to a fitness program from start to finish for the duration of the program. I will make sure that the workout we choose meets your ability level and your preference for type of workout. So you will be doing something that you WANT to do vs. a program that I tell you that you NEED to do!
You must be willing to follow the nutrition plan that comes with your program & replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology. Shakeology and the nutrition plan are essential to your results. Without proper nutrition your body cannot maximize results, have energy to get through the day or sustain the results. Our goal is to make your journey with me the start of a lasting life transformation.
You must be willing to check into the online support and accountability group daily to log and monitor your progress.
Does this sound like something you can do??
Well that is awesome because Beachbody is even sweetening the deal for customers in the New Year. They have created what is called the Beachbody Health Bet. So basically the company has put into a pot $1 million and then for every challenge pack sold between October and December they are adding $5 per package. The minimum the pot will be is $2 million and the maximum is $3 million. How cool… Right!
So, what Beachbody is doing is splitting the pot between every participant that starts and progresses through their program in January. Each week you will log your workouts, your Shakeology and participate in the group. If you log 5 weekly Shakeology’s and at minimum 3 workouts into our challenge tracker app then you are entered to win the cash prize.
I mean heck, how cool is that where you get a prize just for participation. I think that is some pretty awesome stuff right there!
It’s time to start thinking about your New Year! It is time to stop beating yourself up over missed goals or lack of progress or the Christmas cookies and cocktails you have been over eating! It is time to take ownership of your actions and put a plan in place. It doesn’t have to be extreme and I am going to customize it to meet your needs. But, you really do have to get started now!
Let’s get ready to rock and roll with our 2017 New Year New You Beachbody Health Bet Group.
If you want to join more of the discussion head over to my like page on Facebook to stay in the loop.
