MLM HORROR STORIES #81 | Optavia customer almost passes out during tattoo appointment

[@nothingtoseeherebye74]

Hannah: * breathes * Zeke: meowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeow

[@dahliacheung6020]

This is brilliant and so true, also hilarious 😂

[@lmsmith015]

As someone who loves tattoos and is also prone to fainting, a hearty meal beforehand is SOOOOO important! She probably wouldn't have "needed" candy, if that's against her "diet," if she had just eaten a substantial meal beforehand to begin with - but we know that she probably didn't.

[@debymello4756]

What do mean? Two spoonfuls of mashed potatos is a hearty meal! /s

[@salaltschul3604]

Yup. Good sleep, and a nice big meal is the way to have a more comfortable sitting. Your body goes through so much when you get a tattoo so we should do the best we can to make it easy as possible.

[@lmsmith015]

@@debymello4756 you're forgetting that it has protein powder and a bunch of added vitamins and minerals 🤣 /s

[@WooWoo-co4jf]

Imsmith, you may have something called POTS, postural orthotic tachycardia syndrome. I've had various types of falls and stumbled almost all my life. But they're different types. The pots one is completely blacking out out falling face down like a plank of wood, I don't get any warning, I've broken bones and badly injured myself. The other is my hypermobile body, feet, knees and ankles mainly being just too bendy and I can't compensate for small height differences in a path of a pebble. Then the other is back to my bendy body, my feet are like an eighteen month old toddler's feet, I lose balance as they do, I fall with my bottom in the air and hands flat on the floor, I'm in my 49s and can still easily bend like that. I'd been telling me doctors about them for years and telling them about pots to no avail. Until I badly smashed my face and wrists, the doctor in the A & E department was shocked I hadn't broken my wrists, facial bones and that I just out my dislocated thumb back myself. It's common in EDS. Please have a look at the difference between faints and blackouts

[@panicplay1576]

I got my biggest tattoo during a very stressful week and didn’t sleep and eat properly and 4.5 hours into the tattoo session, the absolutely amazing tattoo artist gave me some candy to get me through the last hour. I'm a very picky eater when it comes to candy, but I would have eaten anything at that point 😂 got through it and still love my tattoo

[@sapir106]

Dear Hana, you are not in an MLM and don't have to work in sickness. We will be right here waiting for you. Feel better soon❤

[@lux.illuminaughty]

Hahaha! Well said!

[@naeshelle]

A chiropractor was peddling scammy supplements? Color me shocked! 🙄

[@JuMiKu]

Yeah. 😂 I cringed each time, they said "doctor".

[@olivethesmol]

Omg me too @@JuMiKu

[@olgs37]

@@JuMiKu I wish more people knew not only of the absurd history of chiropractic, but also the ABSOLUTELY scammy and pseudo-sciency nature of it in its current form. There is no "doctor" of chiropractic; that's a title they've bestowed upon themselves without having any sort of actual medical experience nor knowledge. Being a chronic pain patient, I've been recommended many, many things, chiropractic being one of them (my mother is incredibly adamant that I find one). I refuse to entertain the idea of going to a chiropractor whose practice is more or less unregulated and can easily mess your entire body up. They are NOT doctors of medicine. Just literal pseudoscience, bunk, and snake oil. I have a special hatred for them.

[@JuMiKu]

@@olgs37 Yeah. It's not that I think people shouldn't be allowed to choose to visit one, but they should have to be told the truth. It's bullshit based on bullshit. So many go to chiros thinking it's basically a physical therapist. Or they take homeopathy thinking it's just natural medicine. No. You are trying magic.

[@mayas883]

@olgs37 me too, they sent my mother who had a hernia to a chiropractor 🤦🏻‍♀️which only made it worse

[@kittylaroux17]

Never apologize for putting your health and wellbeing first! BTW my cat Cookie perked her head up when Zeke was meowing, and I had to assure her that there was no other kitty in the house.

[@xXxAngelicKratosxXx]

A cat named COOKIE! That is too precious! A cat named Cookie must be a great kitty indeed! 💚

[@dahliacheung6020]

The type of continuous meowing he does is what my cat Tuffins does when I go to the bathroom without her. Doing this also causes her to go into my bedroom and drag her blue stuffed bunny _that she otherwise does not interact with_ up onto my bed... 😂🤦 Poor Tuffins. Poor Cookie. These poor little kitties.

[@Aalisrocklist]

Last night I watched a documentary about how chiropractors begun and oh, my!. Chiropractors and snake oil selling go hand in hand.

[@dinarocksyou]

Came here to say this. Any medical practice that starts with "a ghost told me" should probably be viewed with skepticism!

[@mayas883]

Yeah chiropractors are the biggest quacks ever, them being called doctors makes me laugh

[@gumbodance]

I've known this for years. It's good to see more people are realizing chiropractors are fake doctors.

[@debbyd5729]

Oooh, what documentary was this?

[@tammiebrown8317]

I have TMJ. My PCP, dentist or PT could not help me. My chiropractor is who helped me. 🤣

[@kristita_888]

I used to call my littles “plague babies!” Whenever they got sick, I did too. My plague babies are now 19 and 17 and don’t get sick so much anymore - but when they do, they still need their Mom. Enjoy the snuggles even when they are germy! I hope both you and baby girl feel better fast! ❤

[@ayajade6683]

I teach riding lessons the children are currently called plague rats or plague-a-corns both were decided by the kids

[@mrspokitstheriot477]

I'm 32 yrs old with 4 babies of my own and I still need my Mommas when I'm sick

[@ladyv5655]

I always enjoy hearing Zeke offering his opinion, too.😺🐈

[@SelinaShaw]

I LOVE Zeke! 😁

[@vickischwaegel6122]

Me too! 😻

[@taniawaldner198]

I had a co-worker that was drinking Shakeology. She started having kidney stone attacks. Stopped the shakes and the attacks stopped, started the shakes again and .....yes....you guessed it, the kidney stone attacks came back!😬😬😬

[@laurelanne5071]

That's not surprising. I just quick-googled the shakeology ingredients, and it's full of oxalate rich ingredients, which can cause kidney stones in some people. Oxalates are natural and found in many vegetables, but consuming it in concentrated form is something else entirely

[@catie5939]

Snickers is so perfect too, because it has that little bit of protein and fat to help not only just raise your BS, but help keep it stable for longer which for a big tattoo, would be so key. The thought that good tattoo artists put into their work/the experience is so deep sometimes. 💜

[@greenie2390]

I don't know why but sometimes when Zeke does his little meow...it almost sounds like he is saying "mom". He is adorable.

[@SpiralxShock]

Woof. I just got a big calf piece done in October and I can’t imagine getting it done on a starvation diet. It was a rough enough 5 hours even with visiting the bakery nextdoor for sweets 😳 Glad she was able to get it done eventually!

[@adriannalatta5928]

$17 a day for supplements is insane🤯 Kroger regularly has supplements bogo, so I always buy my multi vitamins when the sale is going on. I can get a bottle of 90 for $35 plus another 90 count for free! So my supplements cost 19 cents a day, 1/89th of the cost of Arbonne😅

[@TheCoolCookieKitchen]

Just so you know when you don’t feel your best, it’s OK to rest, we will understand. If the difference is between keeping yourself healthy, and letting somebody down, always let somebody down.

[@ruthoftexas]

I usually watch with headphones but today I watched on my TV, and when Zeke arrived, my dogs started running around excitedly looking out all the windows for the kitty.

[@valenshyy]

that one storytellers first mistake was considering a chiro a "doctor"

[@ProfessorChaosKitty]

At the start of your video when you mentioned starting to feel sick, my husband called out in his most sarcastic tone "you'd better go and drink some essential oils." Seriously though, I hope you are able to get plenty of rest and kitty snuggles, and are feeling better soon

[@zitkat3000]

You should do an anti MLM summary video that people can show to others who have no idea what an MLM is. I’m bad at retelling information I learn so it would be great to have like a 5-10 minute video that summarizes what they are and why they are bad. Call it Anti MLM for beginners or something 😂

[@schrdngrskat3847]

"Anti MLM for Dummies"😅

[@Onedecrepitmicrowave]

Its not, 5-10 minutes its multiple hours, but the first season of the podcast "The Dream" is the best anti-MLM intro ive found! That or Knowing Better's MLM video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpmrmY1pl56Uobc when im introducing someone to anti-mlm those are the two i direct them to. Cant recommend the first season of 'the dream' enough :)

[@imaspecialgirllalala]

Zeke trying to take over your outro is definitely a highlight 😂❤

[@hollyquovadis237]

Just a fun fact. Chiropractors aren't doctors. They have the title "Dr.", but they don't attend medical schools and are not medical doctors. (They dont have an M.D.) They have a chiropractic degree. This is possibly why that so called "Dr." had no qualms about promoting and selling items that have no proven health effects and are part of an MLM.

[@charlotteanneaton1143]

They are not general practitioners. Just like a dentist isn't a general practitioners. And there are bad medical professionals of all sorts. Plenty of unethical general practitioners out there. Within their field, chiropractors are VERY useful and are absolutely real medical professionals. A good chiropractor in a laboring community (i.e. community where a lot of people do things that can put their backs/hips/et cetera out) is one of the most valuable individuals in the community.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

​@@charlotteanneaton1143Yeah, when everyone says they're not a doctor, I'm rather confused as a tidbit of my job is helping with the license renewals for the state agency that they're part of and registration for continuing education courses and seminars. Whatever bad rap they've had, they seem to be shaping up and are a lot more professional, at least in my state (Alabama).

[@cassandrahulse]

I had your video playing as I was walking through the house doing chores and as soon as Zeke made his appearance, my cat was glued to my side, perking up and looking concerned with every meow haha

[@larissabrglum3856]

I do find it a bit funny that "Hungry? Grab a Snickers" has some truth to it

[@wickedcatcandles2911]

As someone with almost 20 tattoos who has a habit of forgetting to eat... there have been many times where candy has saved my butt from a half finished tattoo.

[@djs2182]

When you say stuff like we don’t care about the details like needing to film today bc you have family coming or that you’re interjecting too much, just know that we do care and we don’t mind the interjections 😊

[@chrissyo.5522]

Hannah! Feel better, we appreciate you filming despite not feeling well. I hope you are doing better now. Please feel free to skip or delay videos, we will totally understand. Your health and family are more important!

[@morganpierpont]

16:24 I bought a prenatal vitamin that was viral on tiktok and got iron poisoning from it! It had wayyy to much iron in it for me and I only found out with my routine prenatal bloodwork. I had to go to the doctors often, change my diet and prenatals and more. It was terrifying

[@jenniferjrivera]

Everytime zeke meowed I picked up my baby monitor thinking it was my baby starting to wake up lol

[@kateperry68]

Same girl

[@universal_stupidity]

if someone is passing out, give them water and sugar! low blood sugar is one common reason, and the other is dehydration causing low blood pressure. If sugar isn't helping, give them more water and something salty. Salt helps with water absorption with raises blood pressure. And of course, just let them rest for a bit. That's in fainting first aid from someone with a fainting disorder

[@emmadorothy3520]

Omg same Hannah! I passed out literally during every one of my tattoos, piercings, blood drawings, shots, etc. 😂😭 I always have to tell them to stop trying to feed me because it’s not that lol the needle freaks me out and it’s 100% mental.

[@MommaB74]

Mental, yes, voluntary, no

[@tobiaspal6059]

I’m a phlebotomist. We essentially do this as well. We give sweet carby treats and electrolytes when people are passing out. We also bust out ice packs, helps cool and wake up/ground people on the verge of passing out.

[@kadiataylor3]

Never apologize for putting your health first . You are doing a great job as always Hannah .

[@lisahance]

A lot of health & wellness MLMs encourage their reps to approach their doctor, chiropractor, massage therapist, etc to ask if they can set up a display in their waiting area to try to get patients to buy their products. Doing "classes" featuring the products is not something I've heard before and it makes me think the chiropractor was getting a cut of the commission for the sale of any product they display at the practice.

[@lisahance]

I know this is a scam

[@shelby477]

Oh yes, all those bugs caught from our children. You described the exposure magnification perfectly. I'm sorry I hope you both feel better soon.❤

[@hilarymol6607]

The chiropractor I saw for years sold Juice Plus. I never knew what it was until I found your channel. I stopped seeing him over another issue a few years ago, but if I hadn't, the Juice Plus thing would have done it for me once I found out. (Fingers crossed, by the time we see this video you and your baby will be back to good health, and you'll have gotten a chance to get some rest. I know it's unheard of for a new mom, but we can hope!)

[@sarahrivas-qt5si]

I have one small tattoo on my foot (it’s my late dog’s paw print, im 100% done getting tattoos lol) and the tattoo story was pretty concerning. My tattoo only took about 30 minutes and even I was told it was necessary to eat well and drink water before. Also not shocked about the chiropractor story. I won’t go into all my issues with chiropractors because I know some others feel very differently, but I’m not shocked someone in that profession would have the lack of judgment to promote mlm products in their office.

[@lux.illuminaughty]

I've heard that tattoos on the feet are some of the most painful, because of how little padding there is between your skin and those little bones and nerve endings.

[@mxmxmxnanana]

I'm so early to this one Cooper and Zeke are not even awake yet.

[@jackdawjohnson7436]

1# 5:21 When I got my second tattoo I made the HORRIBLE choice to do it at lunch time on a day my psych meds were changed and without taking my pain meds at their regular time. I ended up have a huge meltdown and having to call my mom to collect me. Everyone was extremely nice and I still feel so bad for poor George who couldn’t stop apologizing for not noticing I was slipping. Lesson being, always make sure that you’re getting your tattoo done under absolute optimal conditions and let your artist know if you’re having issues.

[@DarkyDark80]

As with the first story, dentists keep in their crash cart a tube of frosting (or did when I was in training) in case a patient passes out due to blood sugar

[@bethanybsoprano]

OMG I got so nervous listening to that Beachbody story, I was like "is she talking about me??" I did some cringey stuff in 2017! But I realized pretty quickly it wasn't me, I never pressured anyone that hard. And I was definitely never top 10!

[@sofiabrandiBL]

Sugar and salt are both necessary in this situation. I found out as a young girl passing out at a supermarket. I've always been prone to fainting, and it could be either low blood sugar or hypotension, for which sugar wouldn't do much. Hope it helps someone

[@jakestrider3565]

That is always good to keep in mind! I have to drink the full sugar Gatorade in the summer so I can keep everything level lol the rest of the year I drink propell instead because I still need the salt but not as much sugar in the winter.

[@mrscourtjam]

lol I have never heard of someone almost passing out from a belly button piercing but I did too!! I have tons of tattoos now but so relatable

[@embyrr922]

Rest up! And please don't worry about a shorter, or even a missed video if you're sick. Take care of yourself and we'll be here. I hope you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

[@R4ND0R3G10N]

I accidentally got myself in a dumb situation with some mlm selling really expensive vacuums. My partner told me 5min before that it was an mlm I was like why did you not tell me before these people are on their way to come into our home to sell this bs to also have me sell it?! It was supposed to take an hour it took 2…. We have 5 kids together lmfao that was horrible. He made us both copy & paste a post to our facebooks like in person in front of him… I was so embarrassed the second I he left I deleted it and made my partner do the same 😂 I did get a free diffuser that allegedly sold for $100… it has rainbow led lights ngl it’s cool but not worth any of that awkward situation lol

[@murlepeterson6028]

Lol I so remember when Rainbow came thru my area right as Kirby left cuz no one could afford,! I only ever heard of 1/ ONE family buying a Kirby..saw maybe 4-5 yrs ago out back at the neighbor's yard sale a couple attachments from Kirby..they are now burgundy & white plastic. Nope no cleaner for sale either! Here the cleaners were priced back when same cost as what most of us paid for our used 1st cars !! Many of us did allow suffering thru sales pitch so our friends, then us, could get our free gifts plus a clean rug! I will say they did clean great but weighed a ton w like 500 add one!! All for $$2-3K at $20 for next 20 yrs with a few hundred down . Did feel bad for the sales men & women. They were just kidd

[@jamielynnalaband5628]

my first tattoo i had gotten, i wasn’t even done with the first line when i felt super light headed. Dad grabbed me a soda and i stared at my phone the whole time and tried desperately to not twitch 😅 my second tattoo i had a HUGE dinner and managed to get through the tattoo without almost fainting lol

[@Lizzypoohxo]

I miss the tattoo shop i used to go to. It was next door to the best Thai food place! Halfway through a tattoo everyone would order food there and we'd picnic style behind the shop. Its so important to eat if you're getting tattoed or pierced.

[@razzledazzle5933]

As a tattooed beauty, I can confirm. Sugar is wonderful for tattoos! I always bring a sugary fruit punch with me to sip and I've never passed out. Can't wait to hear the rest of the stories ❤

[@kimf1993]

Bitter’ents! This is an honest and moral woman. She’s never sailed the high seas of the internet.

[@sidhawker]

my partner is out of town and my cat thinks you and Zeke are his family now. I put your videos on to keep me company, and my cat is often on my lap at the same time.

[@thedealmama3070]

Arbonne is such a predatory company. $17 a day per person is more than I spend on food in a month! That’s insane!

[@LotusesGalaxyOcean]

Figured out that is $510 a month. The height of absurdity.

[@lindsay2998]

When I got my nipples pierced, my blood sugar dropped immediately after the second one. The piercer put a cold, wet paper towel on my forehead and my chest, and had me take a sugar tablet. I was fine afterwards!

[@viviproducer3329]

i have liver issues that unfortunately has an unknown cause so i really feel the struggle of what happened to that lady :,) i'm glad she managed to find the cause and eventually recover

[@alexandrawilson-hodge2974]

You’re so close to 100k! I’m hoping you’ll reach it before the year ends 🎉

[@susanmacmaster5804]

The chiropractor probably put the promotion of the MLM products under the umbrella of "other duties as required." 🙄

[@leeplsh]

A chiropractor is not an MD (Medical Doctor), they may have the title of DC (Doctor of Chiropractic), which is a form of alternative medicine. Similar to a naturopath. As far as I know, a chiropractor cannot prescribe medication to patients. Not surprising that they would do this…

[@BarelySaneGenius]

I’m incredibly depressed, rewatching bc of your comforting voice and speech pattern

[@elizabethbeierle7464]

You commented this a month ago, so I’m hoping life has been kind and that you’re doing a bit better now. All the good juju to you

[@christinaadams4187]

That would’ve been close to the same time I was doing beach body as well. I had a baby in 2015, was doing beach body and finishing up nursing only to lose 35lbs and find myself pregnant again in October of 2016.

[@WeirdSnakeGal]

When I was a kid I used to regularly suffer from hypoglycemia ( I was extremely thin back then due to food sensitivites). I had some sort of pastille sugar on me just in case this happened. Now as an adult it doesn't happen so much because I know my body better and manage my food intake better. However it still occasionally happen when I get in the zone and forget to eat for a whole day 😅 but now I just eat like a piece of bread or whatever I have that doesn't require too much energy and then wait until I'm feeling better to cook something. That first story made me think of this little anecdote so I thought I'd share.

[@randl7423]

I like how Zeke sang along with the outro music at the end. 😅 Musical little fellow!

[@erzs.bathory]

Hannah!!! Please look up some information about chiropractors, THEY ARE NOT DOCTORS!!!! You should do a video on this topic, it fits well with your channel.

[@kconway2263]

It’s funny how many of her fans are anti-chiropractor, too.

[@juanitamartins]

Wow, the Plexus story was super scary.

[@SammyLammy1D]

I got a tattoo done last Friday. I had eaten breakfast, a protein bar, and a döner and I still almost passed out and got candy and an Apple from my artist. I cannot imagine doing an even bigger tattoo on a STARVATION DIET.

[@joangelica8024]

I don't recall if I posted this before but Beach Body didn't start out as an MLM. Back in the day it was sold through infomercials. I bought the Insanity from QVC back in the day.

[@satellitedisch]

Both of the Chiros I’ve been to in my town have MLM stuff in the office to sell. It makes me feel so icky but I like to get my back cracked lol

[@LynxieDove]

Hi Hannah:) Hopefully that cold will pass you by... so many times I'll think I'm coming down with one because of sniffles or a sore throat, but then it goes away. At any rate, you've got to take care of yourself and baby 1st, and any true fan will respect that:)

[@olingecko]

We're grateful that you're here sharing these stories! Hope you feel better soon.

[@ExSharkV]

I passed out when my sister got her cartilage pierced (she was 17 at the time and needed an adult family member who was at least 25 present with her for the appointment but our parents were busy that day, so I went with her) and at the time I couldn't understand why I was given several of those little dum-dum lollipops and a small bottle of apple juice. I guess now I know why.

[@lux.illuminaughty]

This is cute, your sister got the piercing, but you (her chaperone) got the fainting. I can see this being something I would do, I think I might be the world's fastest sympathetic crier. Last night I was in the bathroom and heard my brother yawn in the livingroom and I STILL caught his yawn!

[@meglikestohike]

I absolutely love that your dad helps with the horror stories ❤️

[@h0wlpendragon]

Yeah, chiropractors often sell snake oil. The only independent studies on chiropracty (that aren't funded by suspicious parties associated with chiropractors) show that it's no better than a generic massage, but is risky as it can result in broken bones, joint dislocation. Injuries aren't worth the risk for something no better than a massage- its placebo. Save your money and seek physical therapy if you have complaints that cannot be solved by a massage. Chiropractors are NOT real doctors. Their degrees are similar to those of "the mystic arts" and its based in what is loosely religious.

[@mrsz1988]

I sold plexus years ago and did really well. I stopped because i could no longer believe in the product.

[@stardustzombie7282]

I’m the go-to person for people in my friend group for tattoos and piercings (i have several of each and i’ve always been interested in them!) and i always, always let my friends know that they should make sure they’ve eaten recently and hydrated properly before their appointment. It’s so important to make sure you’re in the best possible position to get needles shoved in your body!

[@Beehappy76637]

That ex employee should report that doctor she is pushing products that are not FDA approved and you can’t assume everyone is one size fits all. That’s a good way to hurt someone and possibly give them something that doesn’t work well with something they are currently taking. That’s abusing a position of power IMO.

[@erzs.bathory]

Chiropractors are not doctors!

[@maryeckel9682]

If it's a chiropractor, they might not do much. Chiros aren't MDs, and I don't think they're regulated the same way.

[@alexisk8888]

I’m watching your old videos right now! Excited to see a new one! Hope you had a good week with family (:

[@SamiMichelle]

I had to rehome my kitties due to allergies in the home and it makes me feel like I still have them when I hear yours in the background. It’s nice to hear kitties when I’m doing laundry or cooking ❤

[@maryeckel9682]

Best wishes for a smooth delivery!

[@lux.illuminaughty]

Yes, congratulations and may it all be so easy as to make you the envy of the ward!

[@Remnants_]

Calling a chiropractor a doctor is about as accurate as calling an MLM rep a business owner. The latter is at least less of a dangerous title. They’re just as shady & scammy as each other. Not surprised at all they’d be shilling MLM products. A doctorate doesn’t make someone a doctor or legalise the qualification 🤷🏻‍♀️. Not trying to have a go at the person who submitted the story, just to highlight the shittiness of chiropractors & how they go hand in hand with MLM quackery.

[@keelyquinn2374]

I was in Arbonne before and we were supposed to tell people that the 30 days to healthy living is affordable because it replaces a lot of your groceries…but it’s a weird detox diet and a lot of the supplements are nasty (like the fiber one).

[@mmmmmmmmaria]

please feel better soon Hannah ❤ never apologise for putting yourself and your health first. if you feel like you need to postpone or skip a video that’s 100% fine and we understand

[@roowyrm9576]

Every time I hear Zeke I have to check that it's not my cat, Kory. Kory is also a loud, yowly cat, who I love dearly (rescued and adopted). I think I'd fall for an MLM if it rescued/rehomed cats and dogs 😁

[@jessicadicologero]

Hope you feel better soon Hannah! I was thinking about story one, and think maybe the client has a similar condition to what I have called Vassal Vagal Syncope. The medical TL;DR is when you feel the sadness or excitement in you chest, that's your vagus nerve. Mine is extra sensitive and causes me to feel faint if I get excited, or emotional. This has caused me multiple times to be on the verge of blacking out, and a good remedy if sugar is not available, is leaning your head between your legs so you don't puke/blackout. It's not fun to deal with but can be remedied with exercise and good eating. It's often undiagnosed, and more common than originally thought.

[@miamoore2266]

Don't be sorry, dearie! Take care of yourself and we'll be here next time!

[@dkeinow]

18:10 YES! The workouts were great, I love Shaun T. I was the fittest ever when we did the 8-week program. We even havebthe grey "I Earned It" shirt! BUT, we hit a plateau after going through the 2nd month 2x AND Insanity Asylum. Even when we followed the diet. The shakes were not bad back in 2011. We stopped altogether in 2012, which was before it became an MLM. Insanity is a good start, but it can be sustained by lifestyle change. We did not need an MLM for that

My friend's mom was on one of these health/wellness mlm plans. She lost a ton of weight and then started feeling really poor, turned out she needed to have her gall bladder removed. We can't prove it was due to the weight loss supplements, but my friend did some research and found a few similar problems from other people using the same products. Her mom had to quit using the program and gained all the weight, plus more back.

Don't apologize! You sounded great, and the video was still great ❤ I love that Zeke chimed in again at the end to say bye as well.

I hope you feel better soon, and that your baby is better now.

PCP here. We had a similar patient in the office with elevated liver enzymes. They markedly improved when she stopped consuming her Young Living oils. She started them up again and wouldn’t you know - liver enzymes up again. When I suggested YL to be the cause she flipped a switch and became very short with me.

When I got my Belly Button pierced, the piercer said I looked very pale. She gave me candy just in case if I do pass out.
