WORDS BY CHARLENE MARIE “CHA” BUENVIAJE-NGO, AS TOLD BY KATHRYN ABBOT
“I’m Charlene, originally from Davao but now based in Pasig City. I have been exposed to corporate finance for over 15 years and transitioned to being an entrepreneur when I became a mom to Kara. I love being intentional in taking care of my daughter and I’m at my happiest being a mom.
I never thought I would be keen on living a healthy lifestyle. Most of the people I know are already taking maintenance medicines.
But while we may live longer, it’s also important to live healthier, longer.
Thankfully, I got to know NUTRILITE™ and, because I trusted the brand so much, I started taking its vitamins in my 30s. I’m at my 40s now and still consistently taking them. And thanks to that, I have been consciously taking care of myself and my inner circle and helping us all be in great shape.
This all started when I became an Amway entrepreneur.
Even when I was employed, my best friend Bang knew that I was looking for a business. She introduced me to Amway, and I eventually became an independent business owner and was exposed to various meetings and product lines. After checking out what Nutrilite had to offer, I got sold on them and grabbed the opportunity to be a health and wellness consultant, too.
It wasn’t always easy, though. In fact, rejection had always been my biggest challenge in being an entrepreneur. Over time, though, I have learned to overcome it because I now know that it’s not me that people are rejecting, but the opportunity to have access to a great business, along with its topnotch product lines.
So, being an Amway entrepreneur has been a blessing to me as it has helped me a lot with my personal growth, especially when it comes to my health and fitness journey.
I mean, it’s not every day you get to associate with healthy communities. Not only did they inspire me to start taking care of my health, but they also helped me embrace a healthy lifestyle.
Now, in our “active lifestyle” community, we have been promoting health span through BodyKey™ Solutions programs. We strongly advocate brand loyalty to NUTRILITE™, since we believe that the nutrients contained in its products are known to play an essential role in preventing chronic diseases. On my end, it’s easier to promote health and wellness within and beyond our community because I purposefully take care of my health.
Speaking of using solutions, I never run out of the BodyKey™ by NUTRILITE™ Meal Replacement Shake since it’s my go-to “Quick Breakfast" and I take it with the NUTRILITE™ Next Gen Double X Multivitamins and NUTRILITE™ Omega 3 Complex Softgel Capsule, among other Nutrilite single vitamins. These ones are part of my regular wellness pack after finishing the BodyKey Starter Solution pack, where I lost about 10kg in three (3) months.
I make them part of my daily rhythm, so taking BodyKey™ during breakfast is autopilot for me already. It also helps that I bring NUTRILITE™ and BodyKey™ with me, even when I’m traveling.
I heard that NUTRILITE™ has recently released its Build Your Own Solution and, while I haven’t explored this yet, I would love to maximize this feature and have it in SOP (Standing Order Program).
That said, I always tailor fit my recommendations based on health and weight goals and also try to match it with their lifestyle. Top of mind recommendations based on what we personally use in our household:
To Jumpstart Your Health Goal:
Quick Breakfast: Take 2 the Nutri Fiber Blend Chewable tablets 30 minutes before drinking your BodyKey Meal Replacement shake (add 1-2 scoops of All Plant Protein). Then, take Double X and Omega 3.
Now, I don’t cook breakfast for my daughter. But I prepare the NUTRILITE™ Soy Protein Drink Mix (Choco flavor) or Protein Mixed Berries Flavor Drink (adding 1-2scoops of All Plant Protein) for her. Then, she takes her Kids Vitamins and Minerals Chewable tablet, Kids Chewable Concentrated Fruits and Vegetables tablet, Omega 3, and Acerola C.
Of course, changing your lifestyle to a healthier one can feel a bit overwhelming, especially if you are doing it for the first time. So, my advice: just start.
When it comes to health, we do not delay. No why’s, but’s and if’s…. Try NUTRILITE™ right away (especially Double X and Omega 3) and, in just 1-2weeks use, you will not feel exhausted as the usual busy millennial moms feel.
Taking Nutrilite every day is the best gift that you can give yourself and your family. After all, health is the new wealth.”
