Marcia Speicher shares her Reliv story

I have always been interested in nutrition and made sure my family ate well balanced meals with a focus on fresh vegetables and fruits, plus we took a nutritional "power shake" every day to make sure we didn't miss out on the benefits of the best nutrition our money could buy. Still, entering my late 40's I was hit with severe menopause symptoms along with exhaustion, memory loss, pre-hypertension, metabolic changes and achy joints. Add to that the emotional and financial stress of raising 3 teenagers and putting them through college. I kept up a good front but I was spiraling downwards.

Someone cared enough about me to teach me about Reliv nutrition by introducing me to other people who were getting good results with the same things I was dealing with. I thought "If this can do that for them, surely it can help me.", so I got started taking just two shakes a day. Hanging on to other people's stories I hoped it could at least give me some energy. Within several days Ray noticed that I was waking in the morning with energy and a clarity of mind he'd not seen in 25 years of marriage. My menopause symptoms of brain fatigue, moodiness, afternoon exhaustion, and hot flashes lessened dramatically within about 3 months. After six months on the products I found that the intense daily struggle with food cravings was becoming nonexistent. That was HUGE for me, as I had been dealing with an eating disorder for 38 years and didn't think anything could help, let alone a nutritional product.

Today I am still in menopause, but I find Reliv helps me to more gracefully deal with the stages my body must go through. The eating disorder is a thing of the past, and I have healthy normal eating habits for the first time since the age of 14. Not only that, but I thoroughly enjoy sharing hope with others through our products and business. I love being a part of a company that adheres to a very high code of ethics, is debt free, and is helping people with health and financial needs in 14 countries around the world. I love working from home connecting people with hope and encouragement that is shared from one living room to another via phone and Internet. It is extremely rewarding rejoice with others as they see positive changes in their health and finances. Most importantly for me, I love being a part of our non-profit organization, The Kalogris Foundation, where we are nourishing over 42,000 children and adults around the world who would otherwise have no hope of a healthy body and no dreams for a future.
