Protandim Lunch and Learn at Good Friends Fitness

My next informational meeting about Protandim will be at Good Friends Fitness, March 5th from 12:30 to 2p

FREE lunch catered by The Kitchen Goddess and on-site child care by Seminole Sitters will be provided.

Dr. Susan Chase, a Dean at UCF's School of Nursing and a Independent LifeVantage Distributor will be presenting. 

This is going to be an amazing opportunity to learn more about Protandim and how it can change your life. If you have been following along and doing your own research, Dr. Chase will be the perfect person to ask detailed questions.

Please RSVP to the event here.  It will take a second to register on GFF site, but I would really appreciate an RSVP so I can have the correct amount of food.

Please RVSP here for childcare as well.  We need to know exactly how many children will be there to have the correct sitter to child ratio.

Breastfeeding and Protandim

I signed up to be a distributor to sell Protandim, and started my home business, back in the summer, even though I hadn't tried it myself, because I was so impressed with how it helped my father.

He had something called peripheral neuropathy in his toes. Basically, the nerve endings were dying off and he couldn't wiggle his toes. After three weeks of taking one pill a day, of Protandim, he got all movement back! His and other stories I heard, of how Protandim made a huge difference, moved me enough to want to share the news and be apart of LifeVantage.

I didn't start taking it at first, because LifeVantage's official statement on taking Protandim while pregnant or nursing, was that you couldn't. I was told it really was ok, but it was a liability issue, and the company couldn't come out and say that it was. Kind of like how they slap, "consult your doctor first if you are pregnant or nursing" on EVERYTHING.

Later, they changed their official statement and said that it was ok, as long as you had approval from your Dr. So I showed my doctor some information on Protandim (and got the thumbs up from him), and also did a ton of research on my own-on each individual ingredient of Protandim (Milk Thistle, Turmeric, Ashwaganhda, Green Tea and Bacopa) and found out that all the ingredients are OK to take while breastfeeding. In fact, Milk Thistle and Turmeric are known to actually increase your milk supply!

I started out with half a pill because I wanted to monitor Penelope and see if she had any reactions to it. And sure enough, she did! Her Eczema got better! We have been battling eczema for months and months. I have tried every natural remedy and product out there, including taking her to acupuncture doctor to clear her of any food allergies that may or may not be causing her eczema and nothing was really helping. I even caved and put some topical steroids on it a couple of times, and that was the only thing that helped her until I started taking Protandim. I have since upped to one pill a day, and have also noticed a slight improvement in both Penelope and I's overall sleep. She is sleeping slightly longer stretches and I am having an easier time falling asleep, staying asleep and sleep deeper. All very good things in my book!

I will be at the Tallahassee Fitness Festival this Saturday! Come by and say hello! 

Also, I will be hosting an informational meeting at my house on Feb 10th at 6p. Your invited!  Bring a friend! And please pass this link along to any mama's you think might be interested in learning more about Protandim.   If you have any questions, please send me an email at info@mamaandbabylove.com


This is not medical advice, I am simply sharing my experience.

The Enemy Inside You: Inflammation

I recently read an article in Women’s Health magazine that I wanted to summarize and share with you, because it was such a great article.

It’s about inflammation.  Not the kind of inflammation you get when you get a swollen knee from running, but the kind that is chronic and all over your body.  And you don’t even realize it.

Chronic inflammation is a slow, silent disturbance that never shuts off.  You can’t feel it.  You can’t be tested for it.  And it may be the root cause of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, depression and allergies.


Top Inflammation Triggers:
•    Carrying excess weight
•    Eating a high-sugar, high-carb diet
•    Experiencing high anxiety
•    Breathing bad air

Top Inflammation Fighters:
•    Eating Omega-3 fatty acids (take a daily dose of fish oil and eat fish at least twice a week)
•    Eating fruits and vegetables
•    Exercise
•    Boosting your mood

Top Foods the Quell Inflammation:
•    Greens
•    Blueberries
•    Salmon
•    Flaxseed
•    Legumes
•    Turmeric

Turmeric!  And what is one of the 5 ingredients of Protandim?  That’s right, turmeric!

Studies have show this zesty spice may have impressive anti-inflammatory and cancer fighting properties.

One of the biggest things that Protandim does, is decreases chronic inflammation.  And if you are decreasing your inflammation, you are going to feel much better.  Period.  It helps your immune system get back on track and only use inflammation when it is really needed to fight a cold or sprained ankle.  And you are reducing your risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, depression and allergies among other things!

If you haven’t already, check out my previous posts here and here for more information about this product.

If you have any questions or would like to sign up to be a distributor or preferred costumer please call or email me today!


And mark you calendars for Saturday, January 22nd, I will have a booth at the Tallahassee Fitness Festival.

And Thursday, Febuary 10th at 6p, I will be having another informational meeting at my house.  Come and invite your friends to learn about this amazing product and business opportunity.

What is Protandim?

I have had lots of traffic and interest on my blog post about my new business, so I thought I would take a moment to explain more about what exactly it is and how it works.

If you are local and want to learn more, I am having another informational meeting in my home this Wednesday, September 29th at 6:30p.  If you are out of town, you can email me any questions you have, at info at mamaandbabylove dot com.

Protandim is the only supplement clinically proven to reduce oxidative stress by an average 40%, slowing down the cell aging process to the level of a 20 year-old. While conventional or direct antioxidants can neutralize only one free radical molecule, Protandim triggers the creation of enzymes that can each eliminate over a million free radical molecules per second without being used up.

Scientific research has validated oxidative stress—damage to your body’s cells by free radicals—as the root cause, at the cellular level, of aging. In fact, studies show that metabolic wear and tear caused by free radicals in cells accelerates aging, the problems associated with aging and contributes to more than 100 health conditions.

While traditional food and supplements eliminate one free radical for every one antioxidant molecule consumed, one Protandim a day eliminates free radicals at a rate of one million to one per second every second and reduces your oxidative stress level to that of a 20 year old in just 30 days!

Click here to check out some of the clinical studies.  

And here is one from LSU that found that taking Protadim reduces skin cancer tumors! This study made us decide to start giving our dog, Sky, a half a pill every day.  He is 8 years old and a few years old started getting those skin tabs and little beningn skin cancer tumors, that usually turn worse as the age.  I will keep you all posted if we notice a decrease in size and amount.

So what exactly is in it?  And how does it work?

The ingredients are: Milk Thistle, Green Tea, Bacopa, Ashwagandha and Turmeric.  Click here for a description of each ingredient from the LifeVantage website.

Here's how it works:

The vast majority of antioxidant supplements sold today are "direct antioxidants". Direct antioxidants attempt to neutralize free radicals through direct consumption of antioxidant pills, juices, or other products. These products of highly concentrated levels of vitamin A, C and E were previously thought to effectively eliminate free radicals, but scientists are now realizing the limitations of direct antioxidants. In fact, you would need to consume the antioxidants found in 375 oranges or 87 glasses of red wine or about 120 vitamin C tablets (500mg) a day to neutralize the amount of free radicals your body produces every single day.

With the recognition of the ineffectiveness of direct antioxidants comes the realization that there must be a better way. And as is often the case in science, the better way has come to light as we have found a variety of naturally occurring safe products that signal your cells’ DNA to produce your own natural defenses.

The unique blend of phytonutrients in Protandim signal your body’s genes to produce special antioxidant enzymes, SOD (superoxide dismutase) and CAT (catalase), that work together as the body’s first line of defense against free radicals.* These enzymes are “catalytic”, which means that SOD and CAT are not used up when they neutralize free radicals. A single daily caplet of Protandim creates a cascade of your body’s natural catalytic antioxidants that are able to destroy millions of free radicals per second, on a continuous
basis - 24/7.*

If you haven't watched the ABC Primetime Special video yet, you absolutely must!  It explains how it works very well and its only 9 minutes.  Click here to watch the video. Its 9 minutes, you can do it!

And again, if you would like more information, I am having a meeting in my home on September 29th at 6:30p. Email me and I will send you directions.
