Dear GNLD Family:

Our GNLD family is made up of thousands of families around the world. Our family of brands is made up of outstanding brands including Neo-Life Nutritionals, Golden home Care, Nutriance Skin Care, Diamite nutritionals and Super Gro crop enhancement products. These brands have resulted in billions of dollars of sales through your businesses over the years. Don Pickett joined my brother, Robert, and I thirty years ago because we all had a common dream. That dream was not to have the largest company in our industry, but to have the best company in our industry, meaning we need to have the best products. We wanted to make sure that our products work and deliver the nutrients our bodies require. I visited with Don Pickett at the GNLD headquarters in February. he is 96 years old, in excellent health and was there to pick up his GNLD products. The vision of Don Pickett, Dr. Arthur Furst, Bob Brassfield, and myself paved the way for this dream to be possible, but it is because of you, our distributors, that it has come true.

As a company, we have a commitment to our distributors to equip you with the highest quality products, sales tools, and support. Distributor insight is a valuable resource for GNLD, and it is our hope that the course we take this year will be a reflection of that value.

of the three megatrends that are affecting people around the world – obesity, an increasing awareness of health and nutrition, and under employment. We also have an aging population where retirement plans are not keeping up with family needs. All of these things make our company stand out as the number one choice for people to change their lives by simply introducing our life changing products to others.

True success is fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives. By making the right choices we can experience improved health, a comfortable home and financial stability. We are all given gifts when we are born and by discovering what your gifts are and by moving in the direction of those Gifts, you will become stronger. Your goals may appear difficult and in some cases impossible, but you will grow into them. Join me in making 2012 the best year of our lives.

Sincerely,

Jerry Brassfield Founder

My dad and I recently set out on a trip around the world in order for me to get to know the GNLD family. I had just graduated from Saint Mary’s University with a degree in Business Administration and Minor in Economics, and spent the next few months getting to know the structure of the company. I studied the products, marketing plan, financials, and whatever other company materials came my way, until I thought I had a sufficient understanding of the business. Now, the only missing component was to understand the people who make GNLD what it is today. This is an account of my personal journey that led to GNLD and some of the many notable aspects of our trip. We met so many wonderful people and I value the time spent with each and every one of you, so my apologies for not being able to name everyone.

I guess I’ll start from the beginning… when I decided to dedicate my life to GNLD. If I could pinpoint the exact moment, I would say it was closest to the moment I decided to rededicate my life to Christ. Re-dedicate is a nice

PC term but I don’t think it really grasps the meaning of what I am trying to say here. Maybe a better expression would be the moment I gave up everything I have (mind, body, soul, heart) to the one person I know I can trust to give me all the love and guidance I will ever need in order to be the best person I can be and fulfill my purpose on this earth. Before this moment I was a Christian, but not the active soldier of Christ I like to think of myself as being. If I was a soldier, I was marching in one place, not moving forward in the spiritual sense. But then it was like God shook me awake with his loving arms and touched my heart in a way that can’t possibly be explained with words. God sent a special brother in Christ to our family who helped open our eyes and begin marching to the beat of his everlasting drum. Like infants, he fed us with the Word as we grew stronger and stronger in faith and conviction. This special brother in Christ’s name is Albert, and to this day I look forward to the daily scripture he gives me to read. If there is one thing I have learned in my walk with Christ it is that I am absolutely and positively nothing without him. There is no real joy in anything for me apart from the joy I get from being a soldier of his. As Christians we are called, and each of us has a special calling. I believe with all my heart that my calling is to spend the rest of my life as a member of the GNLD family, using this great company to feed people all over the world with health, wealth, and spiritual happiness.

Now, back to the trip. My dad has always stressed the importance of people in this business. he told me that in order to get to really know GNLD, I would have to get to know the leaders and Distributors on a personal level.

Our first destination was La Paz, Mexico

for the annual World Team Conference. My mom was able to join my dad and I on this trip and it turned out to be a fun getaway. We were able to spend quality one-on-one time with Distributors in the laid back atmosphere and hear so many powerful product testimonies. The only unfortunate part of the trip was Anjana catching me on videotape receiving a dance lesson.

Our second venture was to South Africa, beginning with the McDermids and Mokoenas in Durban. Ironically, we stayed at the Beverly hills hotel, which was absolutely beautiful and overlooked a pristine beach. But even more beautiful than the landscape were the people. We truly enjoyed spending time with each and every person there and attending the rather exciting Distributor function.

From Durban we went on to Bloem-fontein, where we met with the Boltons and their team. The turnout was amazing, and even more amazing was the beautiful worship service filled with singing and praise. The function was done exceptionally well, with clear and helpful information on how to build a successful GNLD business. I had never spent much time with Marco Taylor, Vice President of GNLD Africa, before this trip. My dad and I were impressed with both his business sense and integrity as a person. We went on to have a nice

weekend with the Boltons on their ranch, with a few good laughs over the giant hand-sized spiders in my dad’s room.

Our next stop was Italy, where we had the chance to attend the Milan Director School. We were delighted to see so many young people excited to get into the business. We spent quality time with leaders and Distributors including the heimonens. Italy was filled with delicious food and lovely people.

We then went to Australia for the 2011 South Pacific regional convention. Nicole, Desire, and the GNLD staff put together a fantastic weekend event filled with priceless education straight from Distributors like Doreen Rose, the Dews, the Chengs, and Gary Caldwell. I look forward to my next visit and hope to see more of both Australia and New Zealand.

From there we went on to Japan, where the enthusiasm of the Distributors was infectious. I found the level of organization in every aspect of their lives to be remarkable. We had two lovely Distributor dinners in Tokyo and Sapporo with surprisingly great French food.

When we got home we were able to meet some Distributors from right here in the U.S. at Louis Smith’s Lake hume retreat. God’s presence was truly felt there and I am happy to have made some bonds I know will last a lifetime.

This is obviously a very condensed account of our trip, but my intention is only to show what a great family we have in GNLD. We have a company that is unlike any other, not only because of the products and business opportunity we have to offer, but because of the salt-of-the-earth GNLD family members found all over the world. It is now with complete

health surveys show that incidence of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes is higher than ever before. This can be attributed largely to the state of our diets, which are woefully inadequate in nutrient-rich whole foods.

Busy lifestyles and multiple commitments mean that families eat too much processed foods and too little fresh fruits and vegetables. The American heart Association, the National Cancer Institute, and the American Diabetes Association all agree on the nutritional strategy for chronic disease prevention—increased consumption of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 rich fish. healthcare professionals agree: no matter how vigilant we are, there will be nutritional gaps to bridge.

New Pro Vitality with Formula IV Plus helps you bridge this gap, with the Whole-food derived nutrients you need in each

convenient packet. These supplements provide whole grains (Tre-en-en), fruits and vegetables (Carotenoid Complex), and omega-3 (Salmon Oil Plus) nutrients. And our Formula IV Plus vitamin and mineral complex.

Each packet contains 4 easy-to-take supplements that support:*

PROTEIN is an essential nutrient that helps build and maintain muscle and bone mass. The Institute of Medicine recommends that adults consume 0.8g of protein per Kg of body weight per day.3 For example, a 150 lb person should consume 55g of protein per day. Many Americans fall short of this requirement. About 38% of men and 41% of women have intakes below this recommendation. Their protein intake distribution through the day is also not optimal. Americans typically backload their daily protein intake with higher intake of protein during late-day meals and take less in the early (breakfast) and mid-day meals.4 Studies have shown that starting the day with a protein and nutrient rich breakfast allows us to enjoy both physical and mental energy.

GNLD’s GR2 Control Meal Replacement Protein Shake provides you the optimal balance of key macronutrients and micronutrients—for a healthy start to an energy filled day.

Protective nutrients from whole grains—rich in lipids and sterols, fruits and vegetables—rich in protective carotenoids,

flavonoids and cruciferous phytonutrients, and healthy fats such as those found in fish (omega-3 fatty acids) are the perfect accompaniment to a macronutrient and micronutrient rich breakfast. This sustains both day-to-day energy and vitality and long term health.

GOOD REASONS TO TAkE A “MULTI” REGULARLY

A good diet is the foundation for better health, but even the most knowledgeable consumers don’t always eat the way they should. A number of studies published over the last few years suggest that the use of multiple vitamin and mineral supplements can help support our health in various ways.

MULTI-NUTRIENT SUPPLEMENTS HELP ACTIVE, MIDDLE AGE MEN AND WOMEN5

A well conducted intervention trial evaluated the effect of the multi-nutrient supplement on measures of inflammation and artery health, physical function, and mood in active middle-aged men and women. Joint pain was reported to decrease in men taking the multi-nutrient supplement, while anxiety and balance improved in women. Both men and women

FRom ThE WoRlD oF SciEncENEWS YOU CAN USE

In 2010, a study which looked at the dietary habits of over 16,000 individuals found that more than 80% of those 70 and older, and more than 90% of all other groups, consumed too many calories from fats, added sugars and alcohol.1 Nearly everyone failed to meet recommendations for dark green and orange vegetables, and whole grains! While these findings are not totally unexpected, the extent of this dietary pattern is fairly stunning.

A separate analysis revealed that between 35-70% of these individuals weren’t getting enough of nutrients such as magnesium, potassium, and vitamins A, C, D, E and others from natural foods alone.2 The use of dietary supplements, on the other hand, dramatically improved intakes of many key nutrients—a good example of why a healthy, balanced diet along with dietary supplements is a good strategy for the wellbeing. This issue takes a closer look at a few of these “missing” nutrients and how they contribute to health, and the latest research findings about them.

experienced improvement in perceived energy, and a marker of inflammation. The authors concluded that multi-nutrient supplementation may help middle-aged individuals maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.

MULTIVITAMIN USE SUPPORTS HEART HEATH IN WOMEN6

In a 10 year study that included over 31,000 women with no history of cardiovascular disease, those who reported taking multivitamins had a 27% lower risk of experiencing a heart attack.

MULTI” USE MAY SUPPORT EYE HEALTH IN MEN AND WOMEN7

In addition to getting a placebo or high-dose antioxidants, two-thirds of the people who took part in the well-known Age-Related Eye Disease Study also took a multivitamin and mineral supplement. After accounting for factors that might bias the results, researchers found that “multi” users had a 16% lower risk of developing any type of cataract, or of cataract progressing. For the most common type of age-related cataract, nuclear cataract, a 25% risk reduction was seen.

TIP: Pair Your “Multi” with Fish Oil

Taking a vitamin D-containing multinutrient such as Formula IV/IV Plus along with Salmon Oil Plus at breakfast or meal time may help your body absorb fat soluble nutrients as well as super-healthy omega-3 fats!

MULTIVITAMINS MAY UPLIFT SPIRITS IN OLDER INDIVIDUALS8

A daily multivitamin could improve the mental health of elderly patients according to a study from the University of Sheffield. Researchers recruited 225 hospitalized patients and randomly assigned them to receive a normal hospital diet plus a multivitamin or placebo for 6 weeks. Researcher found that those receiving the multivitamin had significantly better spirits compared to those assigned a placebo, and the benefit was seen regardless of the initial level of depression.

Not only is solid nutrition an investment in long term health, it also pays daily dividends by fueling physical activity and supporting vitality. Keep in mind, too, that interactions among nutrients are many and varied, emphasizing the need to consume a diverse array of foods and comprehensive supplements.

If you asked a health professional about the role of vitamin D a decade ago, they would have answered that it helps the body absorb calcium to keep bones strong. But in the intervening years, a wealth of research has revealed that vitamin D has other important duties, and even more potential health benefits. For example, we now know that vitamin D is involved in immune system function, and that it may help dampen inflammation. Low blood levels of this hormone-like vitamin have been linked to certain cancers, heart disease, autoimmune diseases and even eye conditions such as age-related macular degeneration.

A number of intervention studies are being conducted to test whether the findings of observational studies hold true. For instance, a research team from harvard and Tufts University is currently exploring whether vitamin D plays a role in lowering type 2 diabetes risks.9

Recognizing that we become less able to absorb or make vitamin D as we grow older, and that many people avoid vitamin D-producing sunlight or use sunscreens for skin protection, the Institute of Medicine raised the recommended allowance of vitamin D in November 2010 to 600 IU daily for children and adults, and 800 IU per day for those 70 and older. Taking higher levels—1000 IU—have also been shown to have additional benefits beyond just bone health.10

To meet the new recommendations, supplements of vitamin D may well be needed by most individuals. The first study to examine food-based intakes of the sunshine vitamin in adults, recently reports that vitamin D intake from foods has dropped 15% from the early 1980’s.11 Looking at data collected regularly from the Minnesota heart Survey, the researchers also noted that milk intake, which is fortified with vitamin D and a key source of this nutrient, also declined over the nearly 20 year period. The researchers called the lower vitamin D dietary intake a “concerning trend”, given that close to one-third of the U.S. population has blood values that put them at risk for inadequacy or deficiency. In fact, as many as a billion people worldwide have low levels of vitamin D.12

FACTOID: Take Vitamin D With FoodIt’s not uncommon for someone being treated for vitamin D deficiency to fall short of reaching blood level goals. A small but striking study suggests that one reason might be that people are taking vitamin D supplements on an empty stomach, or with meals that are too small to contain enough fat to enhance this vitamin’s absorption. Within two to three months after being asked to take the supplement with dinner or the largest meal of the day, vitamin D blood levels rose by an average 57% in participants. The researchers concluded that it may be wise to take vitamin D with larger meals which are likely to provide adequate fat levels.13

Vitamin B12—Who Needs It & WhyWho Should Be Aware Of B12 Shortfalls? Why Are Supplements Important?

Everyone over 50 Many older adults don’t produce enough stomach acid to absorb the B12 naturally present in food.

People who have had gastrointestinal surgery such as weight loss surgery, or digestive disorders, like Celiac or Crohn’s diseases.heavy alcohol users.

These conditions (or behavior) can decrease the amount of vitamin B12 that the body can absorb.

Vegans and vegetarians or others who eat little or no animal foods.

Only animal foods contain vitamin B12 naturally. (When pregnant women and women who breastfeed their babies are strict vegetarians or vegans, their babies might also not get enough vitamin B12).

Users of certain medications: · The antibiotic Chloramphenicol (Chloromycetin®), · Proton pump inhibitors (e.g Pevacid®) used to treat

acid reflux and peptic ulcers · histamine h2 receptor antagonists (e.g. Tagamet®)

for peptic ulcers. · Metformin, a common diabetes drug.

These medications can interfere with the body’s absorption or use of vitamin B12

People with pernicious anemia. Inability to make intrinsic factor which is needed to absorb vitamin B12. Doctors usually treat this anemia with B12 shots. Affects 1-2% of older adults

Older people with low levels of vitamin B12 may be more prone to brain shrinkage, according to investigators at Chicago’s Rush University Medical Center. Most of us are aware that people can shrink in height as they age. Well the brain, too, shrinks naturally with age, and it seems that those with the greatest reductions in brain volume are most at risk for Alzheimer’s and other age-related dementias. In this study, people with markers of vitamin B12 deficiency had smaller brain volume and lower scores on tests measuring thinking, reasoning, and memory.15

BE B12 SMART

Some studies have shown that 15-30% of older people are low in B12, mostly because they produce less stomach acid (required to separate B12 from the protein to which it’s attached in food). The Institute of Medicine advises that people over 50 get most of their vitamin B12 from dietary supplements and fortified foods because in these sources, B12 is not bound to protein and is more easily absorbed.

Vitamin B12 helps keep your nerve and blood cells healthy and is needed to make DNA, the genetic material in all cells. Weakness, nerve and balance problems, and in some cases, a form of anemia (megaloblastic), can occur with deficiency. Running low on B12 can also result in confusion and poor memory.

According to vitamin B12 expert Dr. Irwin Rosenberg of Tufts University, “...the symptoms of B12 deficiency overlap with those of Alzheimer’s disease…That raises the question of whether similar nutrition factors contribute to Alzheimer’s or its symptoms.” A direct link between vitamin B12 levels and dementia still remains elusive, because not all studies have confirmed this relationship.

New research, however, suggests that the B12 brain connection may have merit. University of Oxford researchers recently reported that supplementing B12 in concert with folic acid and B6 over a 2-year period “...appear to slow cognitive and clinical decline in people with mild cognitive impairment, in particular those with elevated homocysteine.”14 Too little B12 can cause homocysteine to accumulate, and high levels of this amino acid have been associated with some dementias.

Along with dietary fiber, vitamin D and calcium, potassium deficiency was identified by the 2010 Dietary Guidelines to be of public health concern—intakes are simply too low for adults and children.16 Adults should aim for at least 4,700 mg daily. Getting more potassium—while keeping salt intake down—can help maintain normal blood pressure.17

According to the Dietary Guidelines, other possible benefits of an eating pattern rich in potassium include a reduced risk of developing kidney stones and decreased bone loss. One well-researched diet that offers ample amounts of potassium is the DASh (Dietary Approaches to Stop hypertension) diet. It’s rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low- and nonfat dairy, lean meats, fish, beans, and nuts.

There is no doubt that our bodies are challenged by all of the negative elements they are exposed to, either intentionally or unknowingly. Our cells must deal with food chemicals, trans-fats, processed foods, slowed elimination, prescription drugs, and a myriad of other potential complications.

For people who encounter this discomfort, or for those who just want to clear things out and restart their systems again, a “cleanse” can be a helpful and healthful option.

Cleansing is by definition the elimination of built up “toxins” from the body, which is why it is also known as a detox. As all of the waste products of metabolism are toxic to the body, that needs to be included as part of the process as well.

The key word for cleansing is elimination, so the first place to look is your body’s natural elimination pathways. There are three primary means by which the body eliminates waste: your lungs (with every exhale), your urinary tract, and your digestive tract.

This article will focus on just the digestive tract as it is the most likely exit path for a cleansing program.

With just two steps, you can experience the benefits of a “detox.”

To get things moving, Step 1 uses a short term “modified fast” along with three powerful GNLD products: Neo-Lax, to stimulate and promote natural elimination, Garlic Allium Complex, nature’s natural antibiotic, to help chase out bad bacteria or parasites, and Betagard, the natural antioxidant and detoxifying formula to support healthy metabolism of toxins.

Start by picking a time when changing your diet for a day or two will fit into your schedule.

On that day, start off with a warm liquid such as chamomile tea. Drink 12 to 16 ounces. Take Neo-Lax, Garlic Allium Complex, and Betagard as directed on their labels.

After that, eat only fresh fruits and vegetables (raw or lightly steamed). You can eat as much as you want, as often as you want, throughout the day. No bananas though. No juicing or commercial fruit juice either. Both can deliver too much high glycemic response carbohydrates and disrupt your energy levels. Whole raw fruits and vegetables are best, as is eating smaller amounts frequently, every hour or so.

Continue to drink plenty of liquids in the form of tea or water. Try for 16 ounces every 1-2 hours. Abstain from soda pop or sugary drinks. Coffee is acceptable, without the addition of sugar or dairy products.

At the end of the day, between your evening meal and bedtime, repeat Neo-Lax and Garlic Allium Complex as directed on their labels.

Remember to eat as much fresh fruit and vegetables as you want—there is no need to feel hungry. Be sure to drink LOTS of liquids!

The combination of fluids, fruits and vegetables, along with Neo-Lax, should get your primary elimination pathway, your bowels, moving to start the cleansing process. Garlic Allium Complex helps chase out undesirable bacteria.

Repeat the process the next day.

STEP 2On the third morning, it’s time to re-establish healthy intestinal flora, so discontinue Neo-Lax and Garlic Allium Complex, and begin with Acidophilus Plus as directed on the label. This will reintroduce healthy probiotics to help “re-colonize” your intestinal tract. Continue with Betagard as directed on the label.

You should continue consuming liquids in abundance but it’s time to add some high quality protein, such as a GR2 Control Meal Replacement Protein Shake. Do that for breakfast and again for lunch.

At the end of the day eat a healthy, low-fat, high-protein meal. For example, a grilled salmon filet or baked chicken breast, along with some raw or steamed greens like spinach or broccoli (as much as you like). Include a quarter-cup of low-fat cottage cheese, just to round things out.

Between your last meal and bedtime, repeat the Acidophilus Plus.

Continue taking Acidophilus Plus the following day and continue to Day 7. Return to eating a healthy, low-fat, high-fiber diet, and you

should be good to go. n

Before discovering GNLD, Tomasa Quiroz worked two jobs in order to support herself and two children. Monday through Friday, she sold cleaning products, but the money was not enough. “My earnings did not cover our basic expenses: rent, food, and electricity, so I knew I had to do more.” To make matters worse, Tomasa suffered from migraine headaches. She experienced severe pain, nausea, and light sensitivity, but it was very difficult for her to take a day off to rest.

Despite her already full schedule, she began a side business on weekends. Each Saturday and Sunday, Tomasa began her day at 4:00 am, preparing tamales which she sold from the side of the street. Though she sold 120 tamales each day, that extra income still barely paid for the essential household expenses. To help out, her eldest son began working at the local supermarket. “It was hard for me to ask him to take a job, but we needed the money.”

Tomasa Quiroz1 Ruby Director

Enjoying her neo life—1 Ruby Director Tomasa at the helm.

Tomasa prayed for answers. “I knew that God wanted more for me, and I was confident he would show me a way to cope with this financial stress.” One day in 2001, her prayers were answered when Tomasa heard a radio program featuring GNLD President’s Team member, Gerardo Canseco. The program got her attention because one of Canseco’s guests was Dr. Jose Guadalupe Vargas who was speaking about migraine headaches. She immediately wrote down his number and scheduled a consultation.

Dr. Vargas recommended NeoLife Nutritionals. Not only did her migraines abate, Tomasa felt an overall good health that she had never before experienced. “Everyone noticed a big difference in me—especially my children. I was happy to begin sharing these nutritionals.”

By simply sharing the products, Tomasa was building a business without even realizing it. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Vargas invited her to join members of his GNLD team for a celebratory breakfast. he surprised her with her first GNLD bonus check and that is when her life changed. She soon realized that a GNLD business was the blessing she needed to care for her family.

Over the last ten years, Tomasa has achieved a 1 Ruby Director level—she

makes 30 times the amount of money she made before discovering GNLD! Tomasa and her children have taken many wonderful GNLD trips together and perhaps most importantly, she has been able to provide a foundation for their success. “My son Eric and his wife Maria del Carmen began their own GNLD business. It is every parent’s dream to be able to help their children get a healthy and happy start in life. Eric and Maria del Carmen are now building their GNLD business. I am so proud of them.” n

A Journey To Success

As a child, Andre Theron dreamed of one day owning his own business and achieving financial security. While he was never discouraged from this dream, he was never shown how to achieve it. he studied hard in school, graduated college as a Forest Engineer and joined a large forestry company. While he was treated well in this industry, he still did not feel like he was in charge of his own destiny. The corporate life was not for him.

With the dream of owning his own business still in his heart, Andre, joined by his wife Zelda, decided to begin farming. “We became farmers and though we were our own bosses, it was not an easy way to make a living! Farming is a very risky business.” During this time, the Therons were introduced to the GNLD Opportunity, but they were not convinced it was the right opportunity for them. “We didn’t understand the business and were not interested because we thought it was all about selling,” remembers Andre. “We initially turned down the GNLD

Andre & Zelda Theron 5 Ruby Directors

Opportunity five times. But in 1991, we attended a presentation that somehow was different.”

The Therons were particularly moved by hearing stories directly from Distributors. “We saw the excitement in the faces of those giving Distributor testimonials,” explains Andre. “They were everyday individuals who were achieving extraordinary things. We realized that the GNLD Opportunity is for everyone. And that’s when we joined the GNLD family.”

Taking a huge a leap of faith, the Therons decided to introduce their business to the West African country of Ghana. “The Ghanaians were the most incredible people and we began to build strong relationships which built a solid foundation for our business.” The first year was not without challenges. “During this period, we truly learned what it means to be totally dependent on God, but soon, our efforts began to pay off and the business began to grow.”

Though the Therons were on the brink of achieving Andre’s dream of financial success, they realized that their GNLD business was providing something much more important than money. “It is a privilege to help people gain better health, grow as individuals, and improve their financial status,” Andre notes. “The world has many problems but we feel we are part of the solution.”

On a more personal level, Andre and Zelda have had the opportunity to spend time with their four children, take international vacations, and purchase a dream home on a 5-acre parcel of land. As President’s Team members, they continue to touch the lives of many people. “I think back to some of the people who joined this business in Ghana. When they began, they could not afford to buy a pair of shoes and through this opportunity, they are earning a fantastic living. What better reward could you ask for? n

Senen Sanchez has a beautiful wife and three active children, plus a successful restaurant business. he never expected to take on an additional business commitment, but, “God had a different plan for me,” he says with a smile.

Senen began working in the restaurant business when he was very young. “I had my first restaurant when I was just 23-years-old.” he established his current place, Chico’s, in Los Angeles, 19 years ago. “I love running a restaurant, but when I started, I was single. Once I had a family, I began to think about the benefits of extra income.”

More than money, Senen was seeking better health when he came across a radio program featuring 5 Diamond Director Dr. Joaquin Gonzalez. An advocate of natural health remedies over prescription medications, Senen was anxious to learn more about the NeoLife Nutritionals Dr. Gonzalez was describing. Soon, he began taking the

supplements and feeling fantastic. Of course, he was then anxious to share the products with friends and family members. “Once I began sharing the products, my business started to grow.”

he then began attending GNLD health and wellness meetings. “I learned from [5 Diamond Director] Diana Ramirez to create this GNLD Opportunity for myself and for others. I learned then that a GNLD business means that you are on your own, but never alone. Over the years, I have experienced encouragement from my direct leaders, Diana and Joaquin, and from GNLD leaders all the way to the top.”

The extra income allowed the Sanchez family to move into a new home in a better area. “The house is just what my children wanted: each has their own bedroom, and we all enjoy the backyard swimming pool. More important to me is that it is in a nice area with good schools.” In addition to a nicer home, Senen and his wife Maria have enjoyed travelling all

over the world—compliments of GNLD.

When Senen describes his experience with GNLD, the extra income almost seems secondary. “I refer to GNLD as God’s gift to me. I am able to impact so many people. This is a career where I learn, I teach, and I share. My life has changed dramatically, and I believe it is because I have helped others experience better health and increased opportunity. That’s a wonderful feeling.”

Both because of the nutritional supplements and the pleasure he gains from helping others, Senen looks and feels terrific. “When I first heard about GNLD, I was under 40-years-old, but I felt like I was sixty. Now I am nearly 50-years-old, and I feel like I’m twenty-five!” n
