Establishing a bedtime routine will help
you sleep longer and more soundly.
4. Eat Nutritiously
Choosing healthy, whole foods minimizes
blood sugar swings.
5. Enjoy Activity
An active lifestyle enables every

feelings boost the immune system.
7. Be Forgiving
As you let go of negative feelings toward
others, you will find greater peace and optimism.

physical defenses and reduces stress.
9. Develop Acceptance
Practicing acceptance clears your mind of
needless anxiety, freeing you to enjoy life.
SPIRITUAL
10. Develop a Relationship with God
As your relationship grows, you will enjoy
all the blessings of unconditional love.
Enjoy abundance in uncertain times
by Michael R. Ellison, CEO & Founder of TriVita, Inc.
Each new year brings the opportunity to make New Year’s resolutions. But
perhaps 2009 presents us with a different opportunity. I would like to offer
an idea for consideration: How about taking the opportunity this year to
RE-PRIORITIZE our lives based on what is meaningful and important?
To look at our resources and determine how we could best use them.
While finances are certainly a part of our resources, they are only a part.
Here’s a question: Do we see our world as lacking in resources, or as having
an abundance of them?
When we look at our world, there are many people who lack love – but there is ample love to go around.
How do we tap into it and share it? As Mother Theresa said, “Many more people are starving for love
than for food in our world.” This is a very astute observation from a woman who spent her life with the
neediest people in the world.
There is a lack of security, but there is an abundance of faith in our world. How do we find it and apply
it to our lives?
There is a sense of financial lack in our world, yet there is an unlimited universe of ideas that will create
future financial prosperity. What are those ideas that will unleash financial prosperity?
There seems to be many lonely people but there are plenty of communities that desire people to get
involved and embrace their ideals and causes. I personally invite you to join me in my mission of
inspiring people to experience wellness! In fact, I will be traveling to 25 cities with our Chief Science
Officer, Brazos Minshew, to introduce new products and to explain our referral program, which allows
Members to share TriVita products with others. I hope to meet you at one of those events!
Those are just a few of my observations on what seems to be a paradox. How could there be such lack
and such bounty at the same time? And yet, that is the way it is. Is there something for us to plug into
that opens up the abundance in our lives? I truly believe there is a secret to this paradox. Here is my
insight: Abundance is not measured best by what we have or don’t have; IT IS BEST MEASURED IN
WHAT WE ENJOY.
Please at least give consideration to this thought; it is not intended to be disrespectful in any way to
people who are hurting financially or may be suffering in some other way. It is offered to give hope and
direction for creating abundance in your life.
So, the secret that can help all of us enjoy more abundance is to embrace and practice those things
we enjoy most in our lives – the things that are most meaningful to us. Again, it is not measured in
the things we have or don’t have. There are many examples of people in the most difficult circumstances
who found an inner quality of life that cannot be replaced by material things. They were surrounded
by abundance!
Since we are a wellness company, let’s use wellness as our example. Certainly I have never met anyone
who did not want more wellness. But I have met many people who were not well. (In fact, it was my own

C
ome January many of us
are in a post-holiday funk.
With temperatures dipping
and snowdrifts piling up in many
parts of North America, it’s only
natural to want to put another log
on the fire and curl up on your
comfy couch. If your only heavy
lifting this time of year is picking
up the TV remote control, then you
could be going through your own
personal energy crisis.
We can all be energetic – even in the dead of
winter. That’s because being energetic doesn’t
necessarily mean being constantly “on the go.”
Having energy means feeling a real zest for
life. It’s having the drive and initiative to
accomplish whatever you want – to make your
dreams come true, or even to accomplish the
small tasks of the day. When you’re energetic,
you feel happier... more hopeful... more
optimistic and have better self-esteem.
Real energy and how you create it
Real energy is created by a complex series of
physical processes. To feel energetic, your body
must carry out a long series of interactions,
almost like a line of dominos falling over in
the right sequence. Every transaction requires
energy from the previous domino and donates
energy to the next domino in line. The end
result determines your level of energy and just
how good you feel.
Energy production relies on metabolism
of protein, carbohydrates and fats.
Carbohydrates give short bursts of energy;
proteins burn more slowly and evenly. Healthy
fats contain the most energy of all. They often
provide five times more energy than
proteins and eight times more energy
than carbohydrates. So, for stamina
that lasts all day and into the evening
hours select foods high in “good” fats.
Problems with obesity and energy
metabolism begin when cells fail to
convert stored energy into usable energy.
This failure is usually due to nutrient
depletion, as nutrients are required to
stoke the furnace of energy metabolism.
For optimum conversion of proteins,
carbohydrates and fats into energy, focus
on getting the nutrients you need every day.
See page 8 for more on weight management
with TriVita’s Leanology® Weight Loss System.
eating for energy:
the importance of balance
To create and sustain an energetic feeling
we should balance our diet every day with
the following foods:
• 7 to 9 servings of fruit and vegetables
• 30+ grams of high quality protein
• 20 to 35 grams of fiber daily.
A good rule of thumb to enhance energy
is to fill your plate half-full with non-starchy
Carbohydrates give
short bursts of energy;
proteins burn more
slowly and evenly.
Healthy fats contain the
most energy of all.

vegetables, a quarter of
the plate with lean protein
and the last quarter with
healthy carbohydrates.
Don’t forget the liquids
Most of us don’t think of
including liquids on our list
of high-energy foods, but fruit
juices and water are tops for
giving you an energy kick.
Every time you exercise,
you sweat and lose valuable
salts, minerals and glucose.
Drinking natural fruit juices
and water doesn’t just rehydrate
you; it also replenishes all the
sugars and minerals you burn
up. This in turn will keep you
on your toes and will give you
an energy rush that will last
a long time.
What can you do about that mid-afternoon
slump that affects so many of us? Many people
reach for a sugary treat or a high-caffeine
coffee. Instead, why not try having an apple
or a couple of orange slices. This might be
hard to do at first, especially if you are a
confirmed coffee drinker, but you’ll start
noticing that you feel much lighter and
refreshed after your fruit and veggie snack.
Not only that, but you won’t have the
sluggish feeling that usually occurs when
your coffee kick wears off. Nutrition
deficiencies can also cause fatigue, so
it may be helpful to take supplements.
what you can do to avoid
the “spike and crash” cycle
Many of us feel an immediate energy surge
when we eat sugary sweets. This is often
followed by a dramatic energy drop and
an overwhelming urge to take a nap.
The problem isn’t all sugars, but certain
types of sugars. Sugars like table sugar and
lactose (milk sugar) burn at different rates
inside your cells. The sugar fructose found
in foods burns very slowly. That
means you don’t get the same
spike-crash feeling as you do
with sucrose.
A common-sense
approach to low energy
If you often feel tired, you
should start out with a medical
exam to rule out any identifiable
medical conditions such as
hyperthyroidism, depression,
fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome,
chronic viral hepatitis and anemia. Problems
such as these need to be addressed with your
healthcare provider.
If you don’t have any identifiable illness,
then it’s time to look at some common-sense
principles. If you have low energy then you
should get more sleep, exercise daily if possible
and reduce bad habits, including cigarette
smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
Don’t forget to consider basics like enjoyable
work, healthy relationships and adequate
recreation. If you’re doing what you want with
your life, you’re likely to have more energy.
So, find out what charges up your physical
and mental energy. Jump-start your new life
in the new year with healthy eating, exercise,
a powerful outlook and the high-quality
supplements that can keep you going strong.

TriVita’s Two-Step Energy System.

juices and water doesn’t

oes your resolution for
wellness in 2009 include
supplementing your healthy
lifestyle with Vitamin B-12? If it
doesn’t, you should be aware of
mounting clinical evidence showing
the connection between good health
and this powerhouse vitamin. If you
already supplement with B-12, this
research gives you more reason to
stay on track with your health habits.
Here’s a review of some of the B-12 studies
that have recently made headlines. I think
you’ll agree that it’s an impressive body
of research.
Vitamin B-12 eases symptoms
of congestive heart failure
While doctors prescribe various medications
for congestive heart failure (CHF), Vitamin
B-12 has been shown to be another effective
way to lessen symptoms.
Vitamin B-12 helps create taurine, an amino
acid which studies suggest may be useful in
treating CHF symptoms. Participants in a
study showed significant improvement in their
ability to breathe, with a reduction in heart
palpitations and fluid buildup.
Impressive relief for
seasonal allergies
Several studies have suggested that Vitamin
B-12 could help reduce seasonal allergies. In
one clinical study, a group of seasonal allergy
sufferers spent up to six weeks taking massive
amounts of B-12 through sublingual delivery, just
like TriVita’s Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid.
Many of the worst symptoms – sneezing,
congestion and itchy, runny nose – were half as
severe in the B-12 group as in the placebo group.
Mental function, vitamins and ADHD
Strong clinical evidence supports the link
between essential nutrients and vitamins –
particularly Vitamin B-12 – and mental
function, including attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Studies have
shown that a B-12 deficiency may decrease
levels of substances needed to transmit nerve
signals. This reduced ability to transmit nerve
signals has shown up in brain tests conducted
on children with ADHD.
In people of any age, this problem with nerve
signals can lessen or damage mental functioning.
Reverse memory loss with B-12?
One of the premier medical authorities in
the field, Harvard Medical School, endorses
the use of B-12 to treat memory loss caused by
a deficiency of this invaluable vitamin. The
prestigious school supports findings that B-12
deficiency is among the reversible causes of
memory loss, and that correcting this deficiency
early on may help restore lost memory.
Younger people at risk for
B-12 deficiency
There is clinical evidence that B-12 deficiency
affects a much broader age range than many
have thought. A study published in the
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition looked at
B-12 blood levels among participants in three

TriVita Super Sublingual B-12 helps you achieve:
• Sustained mental energy, stamina and alertness
• Improved mood with a more positive outlook on life

Alfred Libby, M.D. – Inventor of TriVita’s Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid
Dr. Libby, a renowned nutraceutical pioneer, worked to help hundreds of patients feel better
every day. An associate of Dr. Linus Pauling (Nobel Prize Laureate), Dr. Libby developed this
unique, sublingual delivery system for his own patients. It was known to give similar
mental energy results as B-12 shots, but without the shots’ added pain and expense. Alfred Libby, M.D.

age groups: 65 and over, 50-64 and 26-49.
They all had approximately the same levels
of B-12 deficiency. That’s right: People as
young as 26 turned out to be as B-12 deficient
as some people over 65.
Brain erosion linked to low
Vitamin B-12 levels
People with lower levels of Vitamin B-12 were
six times more likely to have brain volume
loss (also called brain erosion) than those
with higher B-12 levels, according to a study
published in the journal Neurology.
Researchers studied 107 adults ages 61 to 87
for five years. All the participants had B-12
levels within the normal range; however, the
differences in brain volume were significant
between those in the normal-low range and
those in the normal-high range.
Quality matters: choose triVita
Remember: not just any B-12 tablet can give
you optimum health results. TriVita’s original,
patented Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid
melts under your tongue, allowing B vitamins
to be absorbed quickly and directly into your
bloodstream. What’s more, the nutrients in
TriVita Sublingual B-12 are perfectly balanced,
so they help each other create more energy.
As an early advocate of the value of B-12, I’m
pleased to see my research colleagues pursuing this
important area. I hope these findings give you new
reason to start – or stay with – TriVita’s quality
B-12 supplements.

SUCCESS STORIES
“I can really tell a difference in my
mental energy, stamina and focus.”
“I have been taking TriVita’s Sublingual B-12 since
July of 2008. Shortly after ordering the Sublingual
B-12, I heard about the new Super B. I decided to
try the Super B-12 to see if there was a difference.
As soon as I began taking it, I could feel the
increased mental energy and alertness. I was very
pleased with the Super B-12 results!! Now, I get
by with only one a day of the Super B-12, instead
of using two or three of the regular B-12. I really
like taking the Sublingual Super B-12 with the
Adaptogen 10 Plus and feel that I get great results
from the two together. I can really tell a difference
in my mental energy, stamina and focus on the
days that I don’t take my Super B-12. Earlier
this year, I had a very bad accident which put
me down for a while. I was forced to have a hip
replacement and I have to say that I truly believe
that TriVita’s Sublingual B-12 helped so much in
my recovery. Thank you TriVita!”

“I have been taking TriVita products since
2003 and I love them all. At one time, in my
early 30s, I was overweight and was able to
lose 120 pounds and it was great! Over the
past few years I have wanted to lose an extra
25 pounds, but I was stuck in that ‘zone’
where you just can’t seem to lose those last
few pounds! I decided to try the Leanology
System by TriVita; I was really impressed how
easy it was. At first, I did not have time to make
the shakes, so I took the Leanology Capsules.
I began taking three Leanology capsules with
my breakfast and three with my lunch. I felt so
good! It really helped curb my appetite. I lost
25 pounds in three months, and I did it safely
and in a very healthy manner. Leanology’s
exclusive Converta™ blend is amazing – it
allows your body to convert fat into energy
and this truly makes the product work.
Now, I do things a little diﬀerent than many
people. Our bodies love balance and require
it! If you keep your body expecting the things
it needs, everything seems to work better and
you feel great. I tell people, ‘Have a system
of when you eat your meals and take your
products and stick to it. Your body will thank
you!’ This is true, especially if you want to lose
weight. I apply this to my daily meals, as well
as my nutritional supplements that I take from
TriVita. I eat my meals at the same time each
day and take the same supplements with each
of those meals. It works so wonderfully, and I
feel fantastic all the time.
the wonderful thing about leanology is
that it is natural, which makes it safe for so
many people who are unable to try other
products due to the amount of stimulants.
I tell people... always take the capsules.
If you have time to make a shake, it’s a great
meal replacement and it’s satisfying. I have
several people that I have referred Leanology
to, and they have lost weight and are happy
with the system.
So, if you are looking to lose weight – give
Leanology a try! It’s easy and it works! I am
so in love with TriVita and you can tell by how
many people I have referred! It is all a blessing!”

s losing weight on your list of
New Year’s resolutions? This year,
try a different approach. Forget
the fad diets and expensive exercise
machines of yesteryear. Instead,
focus on changing your habits and
behaviors – this will help you reach
and maintain your weight loss goals.
Set achievable goals
The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute
recommends setting two to three goals at a time
and making them:
• Specific
• Realistic
• Forgiving.
Make your weight loss goals specific and
measureable. For instance, setting a goal of
losing one to two pounds per week is not only
specific, it is realistic – and healthy. But, you’ll
need to break it down even more. How will you
lose the weight? Will you exercise five times a
week? Cut 500 calories from your diet?
Write down your goals and be specific, realistic
– and forgiving. We’re all human and fall short
of our own expectations. If you don’t reach your
goal one week, don’t give up!
Reward yourself
As you reach daily, weekly and monthly goals,
reward yourself. This doesn’t mean you should
indulge in your favorite dessert. Reward yourself
with a massage, a new haircut or even a new
outfit – in a smaller size, of course.
Monitor your progress
Keeping track of your progress is a good way
to stay on track and gain encouragement. You
can monitor what you eat, how much you eat,
how often you exercise and how much weight
you’ve lost. If you’re having trouble reaching
your goals, your records will help you determine
what may be jeopardizing your weight loss, such
as eating too many snacks.
Review your eating habits
Food is associated with so many aspects of
our lives. We watch a movie, we munch on
buttery popcorn. We meet a friend for coffee,
we get a baked treat to go with it. Pay careful
attention to your eating habits so you’ll be able
to identify what changes you need to make.
Get full, not stuffed
It takes your brain 15 minutes or more to recog-
nize that you are full. So changing the way you
eat can dramatically affect how much you eat.
• Eat slowly; put your fork down
between bites and swallow before
picking it up again
• Eat plenty of high water-content
fruits and vegetables; they will make
you feel fuller
• Drink lots of water each day; it
will help you feel full, and offers
a wealth of other health benefits
Get started today. Change your ways, change
your weight – change your life!

loss. Plus, it’s great for your overall health.

Get a
bigboostfrom a little activity
Just 2.5 hours of weekly fun pays off!
Experts agree: Exercise is one of the best
things you can do for your health! It can help
lower your risk of everything from cardiovas-
cular disease and diabetes to depression and
certain types of cancer. Plus, it can help:
• Give you energy
• Enhance your mood
• Improve your sleep
• Strengthen your heart and lungs
• Restore your libido
• Put zest in your life – because it
can be fun!
Big benefits from just
a little time
Adults gain “substantial health benefits”
from 2.5 hours a week of moderate-intensity
physical activity or 1.25 hours of vigorous
physical activity, according to the 2008
Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans,
released by the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services.
Examples include:
Moderate
• Brisk walking
• Water aerobics
• Ballroom dancing
• Gardening
• Slow biking
Vigorous
• Race walking
• Running
• Jogging
• Swimming laps
• Jumping rope
• Martial arts
• Tennis (singles).
For even more health benefits, try to get
five hours of moderate-intensity exercise
or 2.5 hours of vigorous exercise a week.
Try to include strength training in your
exercise regimen at least twice a week. If you
have a medical condition or disability, talk to
your healthcare provider before beginning an
exercise program. But everyone can benefit
from exercise!
Keeping out of the cold
Is the winter chill keeping you indoors?
Try any of these fun (and warm!) activities:
Dance – Dancing is a great way to stay
active during the winter months. Community
centers, municipal recreation departments and
community colleges offer low-cost dance
classes to suit any preference. Whether you
want to waltz, swing or cha cha, there’s sure
to be an option you’ll enjoy.
Walk the mall – Check with your local mall
to see if they have a mall walkers program.
Gradually increase your laps around the mall
so that your body is constantly challenged.
Work out at the gym – Many health clubs
offer reasonably priced memberships. You can
use cardio machines such as treadmills and
elliptical trainers, lift weights, take water
aerobics, swim laps, or even drop in on a yoga
or Pilates class.
Staying Safe and
Avoiding Injury
These tips can help you stay safe while
you are active:
• If you haven’t been active in
a while, start slowly and build up
• Learn which types and amounts

Converta™
: the key to fat loss
Leanology’s proprietary blend of nutrients burns fat – and only fat
By Brazos Minshew
TriVita’s Chief Science Officer
A
ren’t TV ads for weight loss
supplements amazing? One ad touts
the benefits of a particular product
and boasts that “over 50%” of the weight
lost with a particular supplement is from
fat. Another ups the ante by saying that
“nearly 75%” of the weight lost with their
supplement is from fat. Yet another ad
in the battle of percentages claims that
“over 80%” of the weight lost with their
supplement comes from fat.
Maybe you have asked as I have: “Where does
the rest of the weight loss come from?” The
answer is that the rest of the weight loss comes
from your heart, your brain, your bones, and
the many vital organs and systems you rely on
for life and health. Much of the weight loss also
comes from the collagen that supports your
skin. So, while you might lose pounds, you can
age by years!
Converta to the rescue
Leanology® is TriVita’s Smart Weight Loss
System®. Fully 100% of the weight you lose will
come from fat with Leanology. This is not just a
claim – it’s a fact! An Arizona State University
study on Leanology capsules proves that
absolutely all of the weight lost is fat. What’s
more, your heart, brain, bones and collagen are
protected because of the unique way Leanology
capsules burn fat.
Leanology capsules contain a proprietary blend
of nutrients called Converta which work to
burn fat – and only fat – in a four-step system:
1 Converta liberates fat from the fat cell
2 Then it releases it in the bloodstream
3 Converta makes your cells receptive
to this fat
4 It then escorts the fat into the mito-
chondria (the energy producing part of
the cell) where fat is burned as fuel.
Stored fat is stored energy
When we eat more calories than we can burn,
food is converted to fat. This also occurs if we
are under extreme stress and experience the
“fight or flight” response. Fat is stored in a fat
cell while we sleep. Think of this stored fat as
stored energy. Fat contains many hours of
energy in every pound.
Fat is easy to get into the fat cell and very
difficult to get out. The fat cell itself seems to
be programmed for survival: It’s easy to make
more fat cells, tough to shed even one.
Releasing stored fat
Converta uses enzymes extracted from plants –
rare as well as common plants – to help process
fat into energy.
Nutrients such as L-theanine move fat from the
fat cell into the bloodstream.
An enzyme from cinnamon called cinnaminic
acid cuts the strings that bind fats together
in a triglyceride.
Messengers from an herb called gymnema herb
open the “energy ports” on your muscle and
organ cells.
Nutrients including molybdenum escort the fat
into the mitochondria.
The mitochondria burn the fat as fuel and
completes the conversion process. Now,
metabolism is working in your favor. Fat, which
is physically difficult to lose, can now be lost
with ease.
The total solution to weight loss
Leanology works in four ways:
1 Controls your appetite (you can’t lose
weight if you’re always hungry)
2 Reduces the impact of stress, which
can lead to weight gain
3 Balances your blood sugar, which can
reduce carb cravings
4 Converta fuels your metabolism
by converting stored fat into energy.
The next time you hear a weight loss ad
that promises to shed fat, remember where
the other weight loss occurs. Then, think
of Leanology, and proudly share the news
about the Smart Weight Loss System. With
Leanology and Converta, 100% of the weight
lost comes from pure, ugly fat!

F
or most of us, making a
decision boils down to just
two questions: What do I stand
to gain? What do I stand to lose?
If you think back on the last few decisions you
made, you’ll probably realize that those are just
the issues you considered.
Should I take a vacation to see family?
(I’d be with loved ones, but I’m not sure I can
afford it right now.)
Is it time to start a new exercise routine?
(I’ll be healthier, but I might fall and hurt myself.)
Do I want to devote more time to that
business venture? (The potential is great, but
I might waste time that could have gone into
something else.)
This “risk-and-reward” thinking is a classic
model of human psychology, and one that’s been
at the center of our survival. Research continues
into how our brains are “wired” to assess risk. In
fact, just this fall researchers identified the brain
regions involved in risk-taking. They found two
separate centers for the “fear of risk and the lure
of reward,” said the co-author, a professor of
psychology at the University of Southern
California. The study appeared online in the
journal Cerebral Cortex.
Now, though, there’s a new model for the way
we make decisions based on risk and reward.
It’s proposed by a celebrated brain surgeon and
head of a prestigious medical center – and
people are paying attention.
Four smart questions
to ask yourself first!
Ben Carson, M.D., has already published
three best-selling books, and his latest is
a call to action: “Take the Risk: Learning to
Identify, Choose, and Live with Acceptable Risk.”
Drawing on his own life choices, and miraculous
experiences with “risky” surgeries, Dr. Carson has
produced a different way to think about risk. He
calls it “Best/Worst Analysis (B/WA) formula,”
and it’s expressed in these four simple questions:
What is the best thing that
can happen if I do this?
What is the worst thing that
can happen if I do this?
What is the best thing that
can happen if I don’t do this?
What is the worst thing that
can happen if I don’t do this?
According to Dr. Carson, who is director
of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins
Medical Institutions in Maryland, answering
these four questions can produce a decision
to take appropriate, or acceptable risks.
As he notes in the book, “We buy every kind
of insurance to provide us with the security we
think we need. We purchase safety seats to keep
our children secure... our nation spends billions
to keep air travel as safe as possible. What we’re
buying and what everyone is selling us is the
promise of ‘security.’ And yet the only thing
we can be sure of is that someday every one
of us will die.”
Dr. Carson’s message is strong in his personal
faith. In fact, he describes faith itself as a risk,
adding that it’s “a lot more acceptable when
I realize that my personal relationship with
God came at great risk to Him as well.” God
took a risk in creating humans with free will
to choose to believe and obey, or not, he notes.
“Then he took an even bigger risk in sending
his own Son to earth to live and die.”
Accepting risks isn’t foolhardy, contends the
internationally-famous surgeon. It’s necessary
so that we can take part in “the great adventure
of living our lives to their full potential.”
Will 2009 be the year of your “great adventure”
in making life choices? Whether you’re
contemplating a change in a relationship,
a career move or a health decision, ask
yourself Dr. Carson’s four questions – and risk
a great result!

N
ow that the cheer of holiday
celebrations is quieting down, a
fresh, exciting new year is upon
us. Many of you have decided to set goals
or make resolutions to welcome the new
year. Maybe this year you’re determined
to lose some weight, rev up your physical
activity or reduce some stress. Whatever
your goal, the key to success is to set
realistic expectations of yourself.
Otherwise, your resolutions will be long
gone, and you’ll be back to your old habits.
Here are six ways to help you stick to
your guns on your newly-set goals:
1 Have a plan. By now you’ve already made
your resolutions, but have you planned
specifically how you’ll succeed? If your
resolution is to lose weight, firm up your
commitment by joining an exercise class.
Or, decide what you will do when you’re
tempted to break your resolution. The plan
could include calling a friend to stay
motivated or balancing your checkbook
before you spend more money.
2 find support. Finding support can be
crucial for attaining your goal. Share your
goal with family and friends. Ask them to
try to keep you on track if you start to lose
sight of what you want to achieve. Maybe
someone you know has the same resolu-
tion, and you can support each other with
any potential challenges.
3 create smaller goals along the way.
Big goals are hard to accomplish, and can
seem unrealistic when looking at the big
picture. For example, wanting to get rid
of all your debt in one year may not be
achievable. But, this doesn’t mean your
resolution is hopeless. Set a smaller goal
for debt payoff, like eliminating one credit
card balance. A single, smaller balance
will be easier to tackle than a long list
of bills. Accomplish smaller, related goals,
and you’ll be well on your way.
4 Reward yourself. Let’s face it – making
a change and sticking to it is difficult! If
you’re working hard, you should reward
yourself for your efforts. But be smart
about it: Don’t eat a giant bowl of ice
cream if you’ve lost those first few pounds.
Try to pick a reward that doesn’t coun-
teract your resolution. For example, if you
love going to the movies, and you’ve been
walking five days a week, treat yourself
to a night out with a friend to see the
latest new release.
5 Accept that mistakes happen.
Often, when you are stressed or have
reached a weak moment, you may find
yourself breaking your own promise.
Remember, it’s okay to slip, as long as you
get back on track. If you’ve resolved to eat
better, and you find yourself returning to
old food habits, don’t give up.
6 Keep a journal. Writing down your
progress is a proven way to help reach
your goal. You can express the difficulties
you are having, or the great strides
you’ve made. Writing it out can help
keep you focused and motivated
throughout the year.
So, are you ready to pursue your goals and
face your challenges? Imagine how great you’ll
feel when you succeed. Just remember – be
realistic about what you want to accomplish,
have faith in yourself and welcome change
into your new year.

any people will pause on
January 21 to observe Martin
Luther King Day, honoring the
Baptist minister who championed social
and civil equality. A major force behind
the United States’ Civil Rights Act of l964,
Dr. King (he held a Ph.D. in theology)
delivered innumerable impassioned
speeches. One, of course, made history:
his “I Have a Dream” address during a
peaceful march on Washington, D.C.
Dr. King spoke of his dream, looking forward to
a future of racial freedom and equality in a time
when segregation was legal in some states and
commonplace. In fact, he used the phrase “I
have a dream” no fewer than eight times during
his landmark address, underlining his personal
dream... his life purpose. While some may not
know that Dr. King won the Nobel Peace Prize,
was named Man of the Year by Time magazine
and was assassinated in 1968, his monumental
dream lives on.
Dr. King’s dream echoes right through to today
as the U.S. has elected its first African-American
President. But of all the ways Dr. King might
have expressed his convictions and faith, why
was the idea of a dream so powerful? Because
dreams – both the sleeping visions and the
waking hopes – are common to us all.
The universal “stories” in our sleep
While we may not remember our dreams, science
tells us that all human beings dream, often for
more than two hours each night. Exactly how
or why we dream is still unknown, though.
Before the 1950s, sleep was thought of as quiet
resting, with not much happening in our brains
and bodies. But in 1953, researchers studying
sleeping babies first described a stage of sleep
called REM (rapid eye movement). During REM,
our eyes dart around rapidly, our heart rate
goes up, our arms and legs become temporarily
paralyzed – and we dream.
One of the first discoveries made was that
dreams almost always take place during REM
sleep. People awakened during REM sleep
often relate the odd, illogical stories or scenes
we call dreams.
Once science woke up to REM, studies
of sleep and dreaming began. Today,
we know that sleep and the dreams
it brings are essential to normal,
healthy life.
What happens
when we dream
During REM sleep, the parts
of the brain used in learning
are stimulated. This may
explain why infants spend
much more time in REM
sleep than adults. When
we don’t get REM sleep,
we have trouble learning.
In one study, two groups
of people were taught a
skill. One group was then
deprived of REM sleep;
and the other group was
deprived of non-REM
sleep. The people
deprived of REM sleep
could not later recall what
they had learned; the
other group was able to
remember their new skill.
When we’re awake, it’s
believed that everything
we experience is stored
somewhere in the brain, like
data in a computer. Then,
during REM sleep, our brain
may be trying to interpret in
some organized way all the information bouncing
around in our heads. Dreams may be the strange,
confusing, beautiful or scary stories that result.
Our waking dreams:
hopes for the year ahead
In this new year just beginning, have you
thought about your personal dreams for 2009?
There has never been a better time to follow
your own passion and life purpose, to discover
the blessings of wellness in all its forms. As
the events of 2008 demonstrated, anything
is possible, if you follow your dreams.
How appropriate this time is, too,
to revisit the 10 Essentials, and commit
to your own physical, mental and spiritual
wellness. On Martin Luther King Day and
throughout 2009, we at TriVita continue to
support you in your dreams of health, wealth
and wellness, and a life lived with purpose.

Godwin’s referral success paid off big time – he and his
wife are jetting to Hawaii for a luxurious tropical vacation
Dreams can come true!
N
early 15 years ago Godwin
had a vision that he would
be visiting an island in the
South Pacific. He told his wife about
the dream and thought to himself,
“How will I ever get there? It’s so far
from where I live in Africa.” For many
years he held on to this dream, not
sure if it would ever come true – but
now it has.
As the Grand Prize Winner of TriVita’s Refer
& Win Celebration, Godwin, who now lives in
Ontario, Canada, has won an all-expenses-paid
Hawaiian vacation for two. No wonder he says
that joining TriVita is “the best decision I ever
made.” In less than a year, he has achieved the
pinnacle of referral success.
Both Godwin and his wife were thrilled beyond
words when they found out that they were the
Grand Prize winners. Like everything else he
does, he always thinks strategically. That’s why
Godwin has wisely planned the Hawaiian trip for
January – to escape the frigid Canadian winter.
So, how did Godwin get to this amazing place
in his life? Born and raised in Africa, he
discovered that his life purpose is answering
the call of God to preach the gospel around the
world. Godwin is also a practical businessman
and was immediately drawn to the vast income-
earning potential that TriVita offers. He asked
God to deliver to him a business that would not
only allow him to prosper, but also help others
find health and wellness.
Health, wellness and a different
kind of direct sales
His dreams were answered when he received
a call “out of the blue” from a TriVita Business
Affiliate. Godwin had been disappointed by his
work with other direct sales companies, but he
soon discovered that TriVita was different.
“TriVita is a godsend because it’s a company
that offers integrity and helps people who are
less privileged,” he says. “I was truly impressed
by the quality of the management and their
visionary quest for health and wellness. I knew
that TriVita wasn’t a ‘flash in the pan’ – but
a company that will be there for a long time.
I have finally found an opportunity that helps
me fulfill my life’s purpose – and that fills my
heart with joy.”
trivita.com
Meet TriVita’s
Refer & Win Celebration
Grand Prize Winner

Godwin says his purpose as a minister is to
answer the call of God to develop new churches
and travel the world preaching the gospel.
“TriVita gives me the freedom to do all that,”
he comments. “This isn’t just a business for me;
I consider TriVita an important part of my
ministry. They have a clear mission and goal
to help people; this fits in perfectly with my
own life’s purpose.”
He also found tremendous inspiration in TriVita
CEO Michael Ellison’s book, 10 Keys to Create
Wealth and Wellness. Reading this book was one
of Godwin’s defining experiences because
it articulated many of his own beliefs. “Michael’s
book really touched my life,” he recalls.
“Whether you are pursuing wealth or wellness,
Michael Ellison considers this part of a lifelong
quest, a way of thinking that becomes a way
of living that involves your entire being. That’s
why I constantly ask myself what I can do to
better fulfill my own life purpose.”
Godwin believes that TriVita is a “hidden
secret” that he wants to share with others.
“This company is geared towards helping
people,” he says, “and it has exceeded my
expectations in every way.” He’s also a very
generous person and that’s why he wants to
share some referring tips that propelled him
to become Grand Prize Winner.
TriVita’s products “can’t be matched
for quality, purity and effectiveness”
First and foremost, Godwin is a big believer
in TriVita’s products. He says, “They can’t be
matched for quality, purity and effectiveness.”
He’s seen tremendous health benefits from
TriVita Sublingual B-12, Dr. Libby’s Vital C
Powdered Crystals and TriVita Daily Men™.
Godwin’s wife also enjoys TriVita Daily
Women™. His referral income allows him to try
out other products that he thinks may help him.
So, when Godwin approaches a potential
referral, he isn’t just selling a product; his
enthusiasm is very real. According to Godwin,
“Once people experience the health benefits
of these products firsthand, there is no question
about them getting signed up and on board.”
He also never forgets to create an element of
trust. “I let people know that I’m interested in
helping people, not taking advantage of them,”
he states. “I try to gently find out about their
needs and concerns. Most people will open up
if they feel that you are conversing with them
and not just trying to sell them a product.
“I try to find out something about their life and
their general health condition and generally
recommend one to two products that can help
them,” Godwin continues. “I also freely share
my story and let people know how TriVita has
helped me in my own life’s journey.”
Not all of Godwin’s encounters result in a
“sale” and he’s fine with that. He has met several
people who are homeless and not even sure
where their next meal will be coming from.
Nutritional supplements may be the last thing
on their mind. He never forgets his real purpose
in life; to reach out to help people in every way
possible – and that may mean helping them find
food, shelter and a place to worship if they wish.
Helping people get back on their feet gives
Godwin a tremendous sense of satisfaction.
That’s what he likes most about TriVita – he’s
part of a community where giving is a major part
of the corporate culture. “I’m determined to touch
the lives of many people who need help,” Godwin
resolves. “I thank TriVita – and Michael Ellison –
for answering my prayers and allowing me to help
people find their own life’s purpose.”
“TriVita is a godsend because it’s a company that offers
integrity and helps people who are less privileged.
I was truly impressed by the quality of the management
and their visionary quest for health and wellness.”

Obese women have more mental roadblocks to weight loss
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
A survey of 288 women showed that overweight and obese women had more perceived roadblocks to weight
loss than normal and underweight women.
Researchers at the Center for Obesity Research and Temple University in Philadelphia found that overweight
and obese women were more likely to report these barriers to losing weight: feeling too self-conscious or overweight
to exercise, aches and pains, fear of failure and a perceived lack of self-discipline. At a 12-month follow-up, women
who reported these problems were found less likely to be physically active.
“Silent” strokes may occur in middle age
Boston, Massachusetts
While studying routine brain scans of 2,040 people (average age 62) in the Framingham Offspring Study,
researchers found that 10% of them had experienced a silent cerebral infarction (stroke) without being aware
of it – and without showing any symptoms.
The researchers reviewed medical records and found that those with atrial fibrillation – a common type of
irregular heartbeat in people over 65 – had more than double the rate of these silent strokes.
There was also an association with other cardiovascular risk factors including high homocysteine, carotid artery
disease and high blood pressure. The study group says this reinforces the need for prevention, early detection and
treatment of such risk factors in mid-life.
B vitamin deficiency/high homocysteine levels linked to hip fractures
Framingham, Massachusetts
Researchers found that elderly men and women who were deficient in B vitamins or had high levels of
homocysteine were at higher risk for hip fracture.
The study, which appeared in the June 2008 Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism followed 1,002
people in the Framingham Study for over four years.
Those who were deficient in Vitamin B-12 were 60% more likely to have a hip fracture than those whose B-12
levels were normal. People with high homocysteine levels were 50 – 70% more likely to experience a hip fracture.
Vigorous exercise may cut breast cancer risk
Bethesda, Maryland
Postmenopausal, normal-weight women who engage in vigorous exercise may have a reduced risk of breast cancer,
according to a study published in Breast Cancer Research.
The 11-year study followed 32,269 postmenopausal women to examine the relation between physical activity
and postmenopausal breast cancer risk. Researchers found that normal-weight women who engaged in

lack of wellness that brought the transformation in my life
and the desire to found TriVita so that others might experience
greater wellness.) When wellness is missing, there is a lack
of enjoyment in following the 10 Essentials. In this case,
re-prioritizing is simply establishing that our joy is found more
in the wellness experience than in the things which erode our
wellness. For example, our enjoyment would be in taking a daily,
30-minute walk rather than sitting and watching 30 minutes
of television.
Does the uncertainty of 2009 offer an opportunity for
re-prioritizing our lives around the things we enjoy, rather
than the things we have or don’t have? I know this much
about life after 62 years of both tough times and good times:
it is the simple things we enjoy that create the abundance in
our lives. One proverb says that a man’s gift will bring him
before kings. What is the gift you have that you enjoy so much
it will create abundance? For Mother Theresa, it was her gift
of love that brought her not only to the poorest and neediest
in the world, but also before the kings and presidents of the
world. Her abundance was not in the things she had, but in
the profusion of love she had to give.
There is abundance all around you, waiting to be tapped
into, but it comes from what you enjoy and practice consistently.
There is plenty of wellness to draw from if one will practice
those things that create wellness. Yes, we are genetically
different, but thankfully two-thirds of our wellness comes
from the things we do to create wellness in our lives.
As our government and corporations take time to re-prioritize
goals and initiatives, may we also join in RE-PRIORITIZING
our lives in 2009. I hope you will find in this New Year those
things that will produce abundance in your life. Though
there seems to be a world living in lack, we may find there
is a newfound abundance of the things which are most
meaningful and important in our lives.
May you have a blessed New Year!

vigorous exercise had a 30% reduction in the risk of breast cancer.
Overweight and obese women who engaged in vigorous activity
showed no reduction in breast cancer risk.
“Vigorous” exercise was defined as: housework such as scrubbing
floors and demanding yard work, and strenuous sports and exercise,
such as running, aerobics and competitive tennis.
Soothing sonatas and sounds of the sea may
help lower blood pressure
Seattle, Washington
Listening to relaxation tapes or Mozart sonatas may help reduce
blood pressure, according to a study at Seattle University.
Researchers conducted a four-month study that measured the
effects of relaxation tapes and classical music on the blood pressure
of 41 mentally competent adults in retirement facilities.
Participants were divided into two groups: Group one listened
to a 12-minute relaxation CD three days a week while group
two listened to a 12-minute classical music CD three days a week.
On the relaxation CD, a man’s voice guided participants through
deep breathing and relaxation exercises, with ocean sounds in the
background. The music CD featured Mozart sonatas.
In the first month of the study, blood pressure and heart rate were
taken after each intervention. Participants were then asked to
continue with the CDs on their own: three days a week for three
months, with follow-up blood pressure readings scheduled for the
end of month two and month four.
After the first month, systolic (top number) blood pressure fell an
average of 6.4% in the relaxation CD group and about 5% in the
Mozart group. There was not a statistically significant change in
diastolic (bottom number) blood pressure for either group.
At the end of the study, it was found that only about half the
seniors had continued with the therapy. Only those who had
consistently listened to their CDs maintained their reduced
blood pressure.
Although researchers could not tell if the reduction in blood
pressure positively affected the participants’ health, they did say
that in prior studies, reductions of 3% to 5% had been estimated
to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease-related death and
stroke-related death. They suggested that guided relaxation
training could provide a “supplemental” method for lowering
blood pressure.
The findings were presented at the American Heart Association’s
Council for High Blood Pressure Research conference in
September 2008.
There is abundance all around you,
waiting to be tapped into, but it comes
from what you enjoy and practice
consistently. There is plenty of wellness
to draw from if one will practice those
things that create wellness.

Lifestyle choices may largely determine the length and quality
of our lives. Of course, eating a diet that has plenty of nutritious
fruits, vegetables, whole grains, bone-building dairy products
and lean protein will help you remain healthy. You must also
stay within a healthy weight range. Nurturing your body with
exercise helps promote longevity and reduce obesity. All these
factors combined may influence our health and longevity by
as much as 70-80%.

A
re you planning to make 2009
the new beginning of your health
and wellness journey? Many of
us are (especially if we’ve recently over-
indulged). If so, take an important first step
and join the millions of Members who
have experienced greater health through
scientifically validated TriVita products.
What does it mean when we say “scientifically
validated?” This is something you should insist
on for all your nutritional supplements. There
have been many media reports about the
quality of vitamins and nutritional supplements
and whether they contain the actual ingredi-
ents listed on the label. You can rest assured
that the ingredients on TriVita’s product labels
are guaranteed to be in our products.
That’s important for you to know because the
nutritional supplement industry is largely self-
regulated. This means that each company is
responsible for setting and overseeing its own
regulatory standards. Many of the negative
media reports spotlighted companies that
manufactured vitamins without ensuring that
they had the proper ingredients. That is not
how we do things at TriVita.
Superior ingredients
and clinical testing
We use the best pharmaceuteutical-grade
ingredients and the purest whole foods and
herbs. What’s more, we also have a very
thorough process to guarantee that you receive
a superior product with the ingredients that
are listed on the label. We hire independent
analysts to test our products during every step
of the manufacturing process. Then we have
several prestigious universities manage the
clinical tests on our products to ensure they
work the way they’re supposed to.
Stringent quality control process
We research and formulate every new
product, then all the data is scrutinized by
TriVita’s Product Team. This process helps
us create new, better formulas based on the
latest scientific research.
So, by the time you receive your product,
it has gone through repeated tests for quality,
purity, safety and product integrity. In short,
that means the product works the way we say
it will. In fact, we are so confident that you’ll
be satisfied with our products that we offer a
60 day “no questions asked” guarantee. If you
are not fully satisfied with your purchase you
will receive a full refund, less shipping and
handling, within 60 days of the order date.

T
he beginning of
a new year brings
with it thoughts
of change, rejuvenation and
resolutions. By the time the
ball drops in Times Square
in New York City and
fireworks fill the night sky
across Canada and the
United States, most of us have created a long
list of resolutions.
One item on just about everyone’s list:
getting organized. Not only is it the perfect
time of year to remove the clutter from your
closets and garage, but it is also a perfect time
to remove emotional debris. This is a good
time to think about making a positive change
in your relationship with yourself, and with
other people in your life.
If you desire to have renewal in the year ahead,
you have to look inside and see the things
that need to be let go. It’s time to get rid of
emotional toxins such as behavior patterns,
beliefs and attitudes that interfere with healthy
relationships and living life to its fullest.
How we conduct ourselves in life and how
we work within our relationships have a far
greater impact on our happiness than whether
we have lost that stubborn 10 pounds, tried
something new or managed to get organized.
Resolutions that are the most meaningful
are those that help us grow in our emotional
well-being.
Life offers fresh starts, but we
don’t always follow through
Research has found that less than 20% of
New Year’s resolutions are realized. Many
times you hear people say they are trying
to lose weight, quit smoking or improve their
relationships. There’s a vast difference between
trying to change and actually doing it. The
very use of the word “trying” creates defeat
before you get started. Making the choice
to “do it” no matter how long it takes will
make your resolution a reality. Change and
emotional rejuvenation are a process.
Getting on track with the
right process
Recently I was attending a seminar and the
speaker said, “You are the sum of the five
people you spend the most time with.” Take
a moment and think of the five individuals
that you are around the most and ask yourself
these questions: “Am I nourished and renewed
by the time spent with these friends?” “Can
I relax, laugh and talk freely with them?”
Your answers might surprise you.
Surround yourself with positive
and loving relationships
The most powerful source of positive renewal
comes from the positive relationships we have
in our lives. A strong relationship is a balance
of giving and taking, talking and listening,
valuing the other person and feeling valued
in return. If we perceive that we do most of the
giving and get very little in return, we will
sense a deficit from the energy expenditure.
Watch with care who you spend time with.
Surround yourself with positive and loving
relationships that make you feel relaxed
and rejuvenated. When you do, you will be
living a more healthy and anti-aging lifestyle
by taking care of your emotional well-being
at the start of this new year.

A
re you waiting for
God’s promises
to be manifested
in your life – or expecting
them? There is a difference,
and it lies in the nature
of our faith.
When we pray for God’s intervening hand
and then sit back, passively, it can be easy to
tell ourselves we’ve done all we can. God will
get around to it in His own time, and meanwhile
we get on with our lives. But when we expect
God’s promises to be demonstrated, our faith
becomes active. We no longer merely wait for
God’s answer, we are hopeful for it and believe
it will come in His way and time.
Scripture gives us a glorious example of this
active faith, or expectation, compared to passive
waiting. In Acts 15, we read the story of Paul
and Silas. Attacked by an angry mob, beaten
and thrown into a dungeon, the two men faced
a situation that might have defied the sturdiest
conviction of God’s loving will.
Bleeding, imprisoned and yet joyful
Bleeding and friendless, with their feet locked
in wooden stocks, Paul and Silas didn’t weep,
sink into despair or simply wait. Instead, they
rejoiced. Yes, they rejoiced in their faith, calling
out in worship, singing God’s praises. They
believed that God’s perfect plan would soon
be evident in their lives; they affirmed it with
every song and every prayer.
Paul and Silas expected God to show them
something, and He did. Verses 25 and 26
tell us, “But about midnight, as Paul and Silas
were praying and singing hymns of praise to God,
and the (other) prisoners were listening to them,
suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that
the very foundations of the prison were shaken;
and at once all the doors were opened and
everyone’s shackles were unfastened.”
God responds to our prayers in His way, in His
time; there simply is no other, because only He
is in control. As we begin this new year, why not
resolve to put your faith into action? Don’t just
your body, His Temple
1 Cor. 6:19-20
“My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.” – Psalm 62:5
Expecting the unexpected in the new year
by Chaplain Gene Henderson
wait for the Almighty to send an earthquake...
expect that He will and act as though He
already has!
When you think about it, it’s this spirit of
expectation that greets every new life. When
a woman is pregnant, we don’t say that she’s
waiting for a baby. We say that she’s expecting
a baby. She doesn’t sit back and wait for the baby
clothes to somehow appear, or for the crib to
be set up, or for birth to just happen, somewhere,
somehow. She takes the active steps needed
to prepare for the arrival of her child.
Don’t wait for the answer, expect it!
Maybe you’ve been waiting for your own kind
of arrival, praying for a solution that just hasn’t
come. If we live with God’s Word as the bottom
line of our beliefs, expecting that what God
has promised will come to pass in His timing,
we will see the purpose and destiny He has for
us fulfilled.
God has never worked on our timetable. Paul
and Silas had no idea of how long they would
have to “wait” for Divine Intervention, maybe
because what they were doing wasn’t waiting
at all. They were expecting the unexpected,
confident in their faith, believing in God’s will.
It was Paul himself, in a letter to the Romans,
who expressed this expectation well in Romans
8:19: “The creation waits in eager expectation
for the sons of God to be revealed...” I would
emphasize the aspect of “eager expectation”
in this passage, which goes on to describe
the joyful anticipation of God’s ultimate plan.
Make this the year that you stop waiting, too.
Live expectantly with positive affirmation of the
manifestation of God’s promises in your life.
“The creation waits in eager expectation
for the sons of God to be revealed...”
Romans 8:19
As we begin this new year,
why not resolve to put your
faith into action?

Balance your meals
the healthy wayBy Christa Orecchio, Certified Clinical Nutritionist, Holistic Health Counselor
With all the attention on weight loss in our
world, it’s important to remember that there
is more to losing weight than simply counting
calories. Caloric quality is a more important
focus than quantity. The idea is to focus on
health; balanced weight is the natural byproduct.
Eating for balanced health and weight involves
an appropriate amount of protein, quality
carbohydrates, healthy fats, oils and snacks.
pRoteIn: Protein builds and repairs muscle,
allows optimal immunological function and
stimulates the body to release a necessary
hormone called glucagons. Hard-boiled or
poached eggs, 2% organic unsweetened yogurt,
chicken, turkey, tuna, salmon and other cold-
water fish are all exceptional examples; palm
size is the perfect amount for each meal.
cARBoHYDRAteS: With diabetes on the rise,
people are increasingly aware that the wrong
type of carbohydrates (white stuff) causes
an overproduction of insulin leading to toxic
side effects. Favorable carbohydrates include
vegetables (except corn and carrots), fruits
(except bananas, raisins and dates) and whole
grains like brown rice, oats or rye.
gooD fAtS: Remember, it takes fat to burn fat
– but all fats are not equal. Two types of fats fall
into the “good fat” category: monounsaturated
fats and omega-3 fats. Monounsaturated fats are
from olive oil, nuts like almonds and cashews
and avocados. Omega-3 fats come from fish, fish
oils, hemp seeds, walnuts, flax seeds and oil.
SnAcKIng IS neceSSARY!
Snacking helps to regulate and boost
metabolism, balances blood glucose levels
and reduces levels of triglycerides in the
bloodstream. High-fiber, healthy fat snacks will
help you stay energized until your next meal.
Here are two days’ worth of menus for
balanced health and weight:

immune support), thinly sliced
1 teaspoon flax oil on top (when finished)
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger (optional)

Practically every day
another benefit of Vitamin D is
revealed. Vitamin D is created
when our skin is exposed to
sunshine. It is also present in
our diet, mainly in cold-water
fish and dark green vegetables.
A recent newspaper headline read, “Vitamin D
Linked to Parkinson’s disease.” At first glance,
it may not be clear if Vitamin D is a culprit or an
“illness-fighter.” Well, in fact, just as Vitamin D
helps build bones, Vitamin D plays a role in
building our brains – it is an “illness-fighter.”
Vitamin D and parkinson’s
Previous studies have shown that the part
of the brain affected most by Parkinson’s, the
substantia nigra, has high levels of the Vitamin
D receptor, which suggests Vitamin D may be
important for normal functions of these cells.
If we look at other Vitamin D research, low
levels of Vitamin D have been found to be
associated with:
• Many neurological diseases such as
Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s
• Autoimmune disorders such as
multiple sclerosis
• Metabolic disorders such as diabetes.
Vitamin D is formed when sunlight strikes the
skin and interacts with cholesterol. Its main
purpose is to shuttle calcium and other minerals
to the bones.
Vitamin D – a messenger
Information is carried by a number of messengers
inside your body, including proteins and fats.
Vitamin D can also act like a messenger, telling
the cells how much work to do.
Think of this like building a house. Proteins
give specific instructions in the same way
a carpenter may decide how best to connect
walls and windows and doors. Fats may serve
as the building materials for the entire house.
Vitamin D serves as the general contractor to
determine how much building should be done
at any specific time.
We certainly need proteins and protein
complexes of Vitamin B-12 to create the
structures making up our brain. We also need
the fats found in such products as OmegaPrime®
to serve as raw materials and general information
on brain repair. We need Vitamin D to tell us
how much brain to build when we are young
and how much repair work to do as we age.
why winter is the time for
more Vitamin D
We get Vitamin D from sunlight, foods
and supplements. Because we are exposed
to less sunshine in the winter than in the
summer, we need to be more vigilant about
supplementing with Vitamin D and exposing
our skin to sunshine whenever practical. Most
doctors who recommend Vitamin D explain
that winter cold and flu outbreaks are directly
related to Vitamin D deficiency.
If you take supplements to ensure you’re
getting enough Vitamin D, make sure they’re
the type that your body can really use. It’s best
to take supplements formulated for maximum
absorption, such as TriVita’s VitaCal-Mag D™
or TriVita Bone Builder. This way, you can
help ensure that you’re getting the full benefits
of Vitamin D to meet the serious challenges
of daily life.
Why Vitamin D stands
for “illness-fighter”
By Dr. Tammy Pon
Tammy Pon, M.D, a functional medicine physician, received
her medical degree from the University of Texas in Houston.
She completed specialty training in Healthy Aging.
DID You Know?
Growing evidence links low Vitamin D levels to stroke,
congestive heart failure and common heart disease risk
factors such as hypertension (high blood pressure), obesity
and diabetes. Patients with Vitamin D levels below 15
ng/ml double their chances of heart attack or stroke within
the next five years. Researchers strongly recommend
screening for and treating low Vitamin D levels, especially
in patients who are at risk for heart disease or diabetes.
Make sure you get an adequate supply of Vitamin D. Call

“I have lost a lot of body fat and

“I decided to try Leanology
after attempting other diets
which didn’t work for me. I wasn’t
focused enough to follow any
one diet. I found that Leanology
shakes keep me fully satisfied
for 3 1/2 to 4 hours. I also like the
taste of the Leanology shakes and spice them up
with frozen strawberries and other fruits. I take the
Leanology capsules along with my meal or snack.
My body shape is more defined and my clothes fit
better. I have lost a lot of body fat and feel more
energetic. My wife has also had a lot of success
with Leanology.”

“It makes a big difference in keeping
me more serene and in control.”
“When my supply of Super Sublingual B-12
ran out I felt an immediate change in both my
energy and stamina. Then I went back on Super
Sublingual B-12 and it was great to have it back
in my life. I notice that Super Sublingual B-12
evens out my temperament and gives me much
more stamina, focus and mental clarity. I also have
a stronger sense of calmness and well-being and
just feel a whole lot better. Super Sublingual B-12
is something I don’t want to lose and be without.
It makes a big difference in keeping me more
serene and in control.”
– Neal H. Fruitland Park, FL
“When you find a good product you
should tell people about it!”
“I started using the Sublingual B-12 in 2003.
It makes me feel so great – I used to carry it in
every pocketbook! I really appreciate how much
better I feel. Due to certain circumstances I did not
take my TriVita Sublingual B-12 for a short time.
Well, remembering how great I felt on the B-12, I
decided to reorder!! That lasting memory of how
much better I felt on the B-12 always stuck with
me. TriVita Sublingual B-12 is just wonderful. I feel
a difference in my body – I feel more vitality, more
energy, and it’s easier to go up and down stairs. It
helps with my daily life.
I also just tried the Adaptogen 10 Plus and really
liked it. I added it to my monthly Autoship so I can
make it a part of my daily regimen with the B-12.
I’ve told my sisters all about TriVita – they said
they can see a difference in me. When you find
a good product you should tell people about it!”
– Roslyn S. Philadelphia, PA
“...I can rest assured that I am getting
my daily nutrients.”
“Recently, I began taking
TriVita NutraFruits powder.
Every morning I mix it with
half pure cranberry juice and
half orange juice. Not only does
it taste great, but it makes me
feel healthier. I love knowing that
despite a day ‘on the go’ I can still
get all the fruits and vegetables my body requires.
My body feels leaner, and I can rest assured that I
am getting my daily nutrients.”

Real Stories from real people
See what Members like you have to say about TriVita products!
“Your ingredients are better and more potent than
other products.”
“I first heard about Sublingual B-12 from an info-
mercial and thought I could use some more energy. I
started taking three B-12s a day, one in the morning,
one at noon and another in the afternoon. My stamina
immediately improved. Then I started taking two
Energy Now! capsules before golfing and then a B-12
tablet at the turn. Before, I used to have to take a nap
after 18 holes, but now I just keep going.
I do a lot of reading and a lot of comparison shopping with my supplements.
I even take the TriVita bottle to the health food store with me. Your ingredients
are better and more potent than other products.
This is a picture of a very satisfied couple. As you can see we are happy, healthy
and wise. We take pride in announcing that neither of us is on any prescription
drugs. Thank you TriVita for helping us achieve our goal of being the best we
can be.” – Joyce K. Las Vegas, NV
“I keep taking it because I feel much better when I’m on it.”
“Eight years ago my husband and I were in a bad
car accident. A year into the healing process I saw
the Sublingual B-12 on TV and decided to try it.
I thought, ‘I have nothing to lose. I can send it back
if it doesn’t work!’ So I started taking the B-12 and
within a couple of days I noticed a difference. After
awhile I added the Vital C Crystals. I had a pain
in my shoulder for a long time. One day, after taking
the C for awhile, I realized that the pain was gone.
If I stopped taking the C, I noticed that I wasn’t feeling as well.
Now I’m on the Healthy Aging Pack, which includes both of those products,
plus the VitaDaily AM/PM and OmegaPrime. I started taking it because it’s
hard to know what you should take, but the Pack was introduced and it had
everything I needed. I keep taking it because I feel much better when I’m on
it. I sleep well at night. I have minimal aches and pains. I have steady energy
throughout the day. Plus it’s convenient and there’s a slight cost savings.
I love TriVita!” – Kathy G. Jenks, OK

live in a fast-paced society where few people eat
home-cooked meals,” she observes. “Too many
of us eat processed or fast food, are always in a
rush and don’t stop to enjoy life.” Her response?
To recommend TriVita products to anyone who
might benefit from them. “My patients are very
open to trying new products,” she says.
You can see that Precious has a lot going on
in her life. So, it’s no wonder that when asked
what she does in her spare
time, she responds with a hearty
laugh and a quick, “What spare
time?” She needs lots of energy
to get through her busy day and depends
on TriVita products to
keep her healthy and balanced.
precious gets her B-12 boost...
without going to the doctor
Like so many people, Precious first
found out about TriVita through a
late-night infomercial about five
years ago. She had just undergone
gastric bypass surgery and her doctor
recommended B-12 shots to replace
the vitamins that she couldn’t absorb because
of the surgery. However, it became
too difficult and expensive to go to the doctor
every time she needed a shot.
Precious decided to try TriVita Sublingual B-12
and hasn’t looked back since... she’s just thrilled
with the results. “Sublingual B-12 worked
extremely well from the very beginning. I felt
an immediate boost and my doctor has been
pleased to see that my B-12 levels continue
to stay within the normal range.”
Now she’s happily moved on to Super Sublingual
B-12 and she describes the enhanced effect
as “fantastic – I get a bigger boost and I love
the added ginseng. I’ve also added TriVita’s
Gingko Biloba.”
precious is quick to help
family and friends enjoy
better health, too
For example, her sister had anemia and
complained about being tired. Precious
recommended Sublingual B-12, which
helped her sister’s energy. Her daughter,
Ebonee, is an opera singer and takes both
Sublingual B-12 and Adaptogen 10 Plus®
to help cope with her stressful life. Says
Precious, “It works wonders, and she
loves both products.”
She also recommended VisionGuard™
to
her dear friend, Debra, who was having
glaucoma problems. The doctor started
Debra on medication which caused
dark circles under her eyes. Precious
then suggested VisionGuard. After only one
month, her doctor noticed a big improvement in
her eyes. Debra continues to take VisionGuard
and is absolutely thrilled with the results.
How precious gets free products
Although Precious’ main referral goal is to
help other people get well, she also enjoys the
financial rewards. She has earned as much as
$150 in monthly gift cards and compensation
checks and that allows her to buy all her favorite
TriVita products and try new ones. Precious
is currently on autoship, which she describes
as a “breeze, because I never have to remember
to place my order.”
She says the personal satisfaction of helping
other people in their wellness journey is
“absolutely indescribable. If you know about
something good, you want to pass it along.
My referral success has earned me fantastic
rewards, and it gives me great pleasure to
make a difference in people’s lives.”

ust as our bodies need daily exercise
to stay healthy and fit, so do our
minds. Growing evidence suggests
that the more we exercise our mind,
the sharper we become.
Searching the Internet has become a
popular “exercise” to boost brain fitness.
A study at the University of California Los
Angeles (UCLA) examined two groups
of adults ages 55 to 76; one with Internet
experience, and the other without. Of
the two groups, the members who had
experience with the Internet used their
brain more than those who didn’t.
According to Dr. Gary Small, a UCLA
expert on aging, this suggests that
Internet use helps keep the brain
active and healthy.
Other studies show that tasks like
learning a language, taking up a hobby
or practicing crossword puzzles can
all contribute to brain “fitness.”
Try unscrambling these health-related
words for a brain “work-out.” (Check
your answers below).
