My Reliv Regimen: I take the new Reliv Now® with Whey because I absolutely love the taste! I also take Fit3™ Active and 24K™ before my workouts and ReversAge® every evening.
Staying Active: My 5-year-old keeps me very busy, but I always make time for exercise. I love running and I do kickboxing on a regular basis. I also swim and do cardio classes when I can. Our new dog has become a wonderful running mate, although in a few years, I think my daughter will be right there with us! She is already trying to keep up!
Ethics: It’s very important to me to work for a company high in integrity and ethical values. I consider Reliv at the top of the game when it comes to these areas.
‘Distributors First’ Means…We consider how every major decision we make will impact Distributors and whether it’s in their best interest.
