This is long but excellent information for anyone discouraged or frustrated in their health journey.
From managing your weight to all signs of detox, you’ll find it below.
🌿Sooooo....WHY did I GAIN WEIGHT using Plexus when everyone else seems to be losing weight???
I'm sure we've had some people ask us this, thought this or currently experiencing this right???
Here is the answer..."Yeasts produce poisons called mycotoxins (literally fungal poisons). They are toxic byproducts that fungi excrete. (In other words "yeast p**p"). Yeasts produce 80 toxins in their p**p, including formaldehyde. Tissues impregnated with mycotoxins become irritated and swell in an attempt to dilute poisons, leading to inflammation (bloating)."
⚠️So, Please please stick with your Plexus Tri Plex through Candida Die Off🙏🏻💕
🌿Did you gain weight when you started Plexus? Did you go through some fatigue? Increased sugar cravings and brain fog? Did you quit Plexus because you felt like you have it a good shot, but it must not be working for you?
Heres a perfect example of why you can't limit yourself to any timeframe. Everyone is different and some need more time than others! Great testimony!
Wendy Larson is now a PLEXUS DIAMOND who ALMOST quit as a customer!!! She almost gave up during her detox phase because it was pretty intense. Two weeks later she had her breakthrough. Check out these messages she sent to her upline sponsor when she first started Plexus!
Message One:
"Hey Kristin,
Thank you for the note. I am officially 7 weeks into this and have lost nothing and gained 3 pounds. No inches lost. No energy. In fact, I have brain fog so severely right now I can't imagine what is wrong??? My body hurts. I wake up each morning to a tightness in my chest that I've never had before. Like asthma???
I wish I could see some light at the end of the tunnel...but after being on this for this long, I would think I would be getting better - not worse. My sleep is still interrupted each night-although I can say I feel like I am sleeping deeper..
Not to be a Debbie Downer-but I might fall into that percentage where it simply doesn't help. Poooey! My hubby is not diligent about taking his drink every day and I cannot make him. So, I can't even report any good on him. I have 1 month left and will take for 90 days. Maybe I need to go longer??? Will try it. Thanks- Wendy"
WHEN YOU THINK NOTHING IS WORKING.....JUST WAIT- the above was my note when I first started Plexus. I told you all it took me a long time for things to change over. I didn't give up and am SO GLAD I stuck it out!!!!
Message Two:
"Results so far, 6 months in:
I lost 10-12 # and several overall inches
now sleeping through the night for 4+months
increased energy
no more constipation
no more rashes
no more brain fog
no more asthma type feeling in chest
no more pain in my heels
no more chronic stomach aches
lost sugar cravings
calmer moods
no more hypoglycemia
no more daily naps
no more dry cracked heels
healthy complexion
It was worth every discouragement in the beginning of my health and wellness journey!!!!"
MORAL OF THE STORY: Renewed health takes time, and everyone's body responds at its own rate. Plexus DOES work. And it DOES take time to heal. Stick through it! Be consistent and drink your water and after the first couple months, you could have an amazing testimonial too!!! We didn't gain all of our weight or get unhealthy/sick in 1 day, 15 days, 30 days....we won't get well that fast either ❤️❤️ — with Wendy Carr Larson.
Getting healthy for many of us means we must detox first. What is detox? It's the process of ridding your body of toxins and restoring its natural balance. But in order to do this, you might feel worse before you feel better. And this step is why most people give up. DON'T GIVE UP!
🌿Die off symptoms versus detox
symptoms:👇🏻
As we choose foods that starve bad yeast and other opportunistic bugs, the yeast and bacteria cells die. The same thing happens with the anti fungal in our ProBio5. As they die, they release waste and something called endotoxin.
As you may guess, endotoxin is slightly toxic to the body. And because the immune system mounts a response to this endotoxin, we usually feel worse as we cleanse.
This phenomenon is what’s known as a Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction.
DIE-OFF: WHY YOU FEEL WORSE BEFORE YOU FEEL BETTER👇🏻👇🏻
When you first begin Plexus you may feel worse as your body dumps all the waste and low-grade infections it has been carrying around. As your body begins to release toxins, your immune system reacts—triggering a possible Herxheimer response.
This can cause:👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Flu-like symptoms
Acne
Skin rashes
Vaginal itching
Headaches
Depression or anxiety
Lethargy
Insomnia
Weight gain
Essentially, your immune system kicks up an inflammatory storm as toxins move through and out of your body.
Often, this is when people quit a new diet—although the symptoms may be a signal from the body to slow down and focus on assisting the detox process. During this time of cleansing, the body is inflamed. The immune system is up in arms. It is critical that you give your body the attention that it needs, without shrugging off your symptoms as “just cleansing.”
8 TIPS TO SUPPORT DIE OFF 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
🔹Eat warming, predigested foods. For example, heat makes food easier to digest. So choose cooked foods (like soup) over raw foods.
🔹Always include cultured foods on your plate. Fermented foods contain beneficial bacteria and yeast that soothe away inflammation. These good guys are also pros at metabolizing waste.
🔹Increase your Biocleanse. Make sure you are eliminating at least once a day. As you cleanse, your colon is your best friend because it escorts waste and toxins out of the body. Constipation prolongs a Herxheimer response as waste and toxins are reabsorbed back into the bloodstream and often come out through the skin.
🔹Focus on antioxidants and liver support. Your liver transforms waste so that it can be eliminated. Antioxidants are damage control; they sweep up the mess before it snowballs into free radical damage and runaway inflammation. Cruciferous vegetables—like cabbage, cauliflower, arugula, and watercress—are also high in antioxidants. But so does Biocleanse and XFactor!
🔹Continue to avoid sweet foods, even naturally sweet foods, as they will feed the exact organisms you are getting rid of! If you crave something sweet, use a few drops of stevia to sweeten a warm cup of tea or lemon water. Stay away from sugar!
🔹Gently move the body, enough to work up a sweat. It doesn’t take much. For example, bouncing on a mini trampoline will stimulate the lymphatic system and support your efforts to cleanse. Your body will also release waste as you sweat. Remember, keep it simple and keep it gentle.
🔹Drink plenty of water. Dehydration traps toxins in the body and closes down elimination channels. Staying hydrated is key to support detoxification. During this time you may need even more than the daily recommend amount.
🔹Practice deep breathing or yoga. Increasing oxygen into your cells not only stimulates the lymphatic system and boosts the immune system, but it can also boost your energy and sense of wellbeing.
🔹Loading dose of Ease is awesome for people going through detox and die off, especially if they are having a lot of symptoms. It helps keep inflammation at bay and inflammation is high during die off and detox because of the release of mycotoxins. This will be temporary but Ease can really help. Loading dose is 6 capsules per day. Addional information on Ease can be found on this page.
🔹Take epsom salt baths, which are great for decreasing inflammation, soreness, and symptoms of discomfort. Buy Epsom salts online or at the drugstore or natural health foods store or make your own. Here are some ideas: http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/detox-baths-which.../
🔹Add Milk Thistle to help your liver detoxify more efficiently. It can be bought from Amazon or at a drug store or natural health foods store. Read more about the benefits here:

🔹Activated Charcoal is an additional remedy that may be beneficial for some. It binds to toxins and helps with bloating, gas, digestive issues, and mold cleansing, among other things. Read more here:

🔹Remember, the cleansing period may be taxing, physically and mentally. Emotional and physical detox is real and both can occur. It is temporary and these methods can help ease the symptoms!
Take it easy. Journal about your feelings. Reach out to your sponsor. Post on this page. But whatever you do, don't quit. You already know what that feels like.
🌿Drinking Slim and seeing weight gain or fluctuations?
Check out Carol's experience and know that with any gut health product there is a time of adjustment and Slim is now not only a blood sugar balancer, but also a gut health product.
"Raise your hand if you're struggling with the new pink drink!!! That was me!
I hated my first month on the new Slim. I felt like I was starting all over again! I experienced weight gain, cravings, and bloating.
(6 pounds!😩😩😩)(I was so upset)
I wanted to stop the whole thing so badly, but my daughter, Emily, kept encouraging me on and telling me not to give up. I just wanted to go back to the original Slim. Emily suggested I buy some "milk thistle" capsules and make sure my water intake was where it should be. I stuck it out, but it took a lot of faith!! It took almost a month for my body to settle in with the new Slim. The 6 pounds finally disappeared along with the cravings and bloating.
DON'T GIVE UP!!!"
🌿Have you gone through DETOX symptoms? Gained weight (bloating), had fatigue, sore muscles, night sweats, joint pain, or had increased emotions?
Listen to what Shoshanna Easling, a food purist and the founder of The Bulk Herb Store, says about why blood sugar levels are so important for our health, and the why we have DETOX symptoms when we balance the gut...
"Our body has thousands of different things going on all at once, while it works harmoniously as one. It needs constant communication with each and every part to do the job it was made to do. When your body stops listening to itself, piece by piece it will start to break down. What can keep our bodies from this extremely important communication? Insulin resistance.
The one common denominator that researchers have found in people that have lived to be over 100 years old; or tribal members that live much longer then the average life span, is their insulin sensitivity.
🧁🧁🧁So, what is insulin?
Whether you eat, don’t eat, eat starchy foods or sugary foods, all of those things make your blood sugar go up or down. The body is very intelligent and knows how important it is that your blood sugar level stays balanced. So, every time you eat your body gives you a dose of insulin.
Insulin resistance is where your body gets confused because it is flooded with insulin and the cells stops listening. Let’s say you eat some oatmeal for Breakfast, an organic whole wheat sandwich for Lunch, and then you have some organic, brown fried rice for super in the evening. Sounds way healthier then 90% of the average American diet, right? True. It is healthier, but still all of those carbs you ate (oat meal, bread, and rice) turn into sugar giving your body a big dose of insulin every time you eat. Your body is made to have only a little insulin release. When you start getting too much insulin on a regular basis, your cells stop listening and you become insulin resistant.
Insulin is one of your master hormones. So, if you get that balanced... it can then "talk" to all the other hormones and get things going in the right direction. That communication is vital for health. That communication is called “Insulin Sensitivity”, and it is the opposite of “Insulin Resistant”.
When the blood sugar is balanced and the body is not being flooded with insulin it can then start to heal itself. Little by little, your body will start that necessary communication again. The communication brings harmony and balance back to your body.
🌿Slim (aka "the PINK drink") was designed to help keep our blood sugar levels balanced. That is why so many people are seeing that their bodies are finally starting to heal from so many different health issues, with one simple product: SLIM!
If you are sick or feel like your body has been over run with toxins for a long period of time, and you start taking something that will begin to balance out your body and in turn it will also detox it. If you do not know what you are looking at, detoxes can scare you off from what you body needs (have any of you quit bc you didn't understand CANDIDA DIE OFF?).
Sometimes when you take something that detoxes you, you might just start feeling better right away! But some people have a period of die off. This can happen when you have bad bacteria, yeast, candida, fungus, parasites, lyme, mold, staff, strep, or something bad living in your gut or blood stream. Once your body starts communicating with itself again, it will realize that there are harmful things that it needs to get rid of. However, if it kills that bad stuff too fast, then you can experience what is called “die off” or “hertz reaction”.
When this happens to me, I always just slow it down, and cut whatever I am taking in half. I make sure I’m drinking lots of lemon water to flush all the toxins out. I also make sure everything is moving smoothly in the right direction (p**ping at least once a day or more).
It normally takes the average person anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks for the die off period to end, but I know some people that have had them last for 3 months. Just take it slow, and let your body have time to clean itself out as you detox. Even if it is a pain, it is always kind of exciting to me because I know I’m getting rid of all of that JUNK!!! Hope is here!
It is a exciting journey to take health back into your own hands! Life is worth living and to really enjoy it we need our health. We have known sickness in our family, but we learned, grew and strived for health and healing. We are not just living now, we are thriving! This week James, our kids, and I have been rock climbing, swimming, running, working, and we are still going strong! PLEXUS is a big reason WHY!"
🌿Are you feeling frustrated with results? Do you feel like you're not losing weight or inches? When I started Plexus, I gained 6 pounds in the first 6 weeks. This is your body telling you it is healing.
REMEMBER IT TAKES 90 days for the body to regenerate new healthy cells, and 6 weeks to 6 months to balance the gut. Often times we can't lose weight until our gut is balanced.
This is great advice from one of our members "Remember each person is different so you'll have different results. Some things to look at that you could possibly change: portion sizes of your meals, dosage of the Triplex, are you taking the ProBio 5 & biocleanse at the optimal times, could you increase dose? Have you added exercise to your routine. It doesn't need to be 2 hours at the gym, just something different than what you've been doing. Look at your food intake, something you can eliminate? Water is a huge factor. I never drank enough water. You should be drinking half of your body weight in ounce in water. There is a chart, your not to exceed 100 oz I think. I average about 75-90 ounces a day by using Contigo 24oz water bottles. Game changer for me. Keep it up. Gradual changes are the best because it stays off."
KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!! Our bodies need time to heal and when they heal, you will feel amazing!!! PLEXUS WORKS!!
