Longevity

and Rejuvenate
Our Energy



When you stare
at the stars on
a clear night,
do you marvel
at how vast our
universe is?

From the vantage point of our Earth, we are
overwhelmed with the massive beauty of the universe.
For centuries, mankind has pondered their place in it.
New photos from modern telescopes yield startling
discoveries on a regular basis, revealing how little
we know about the immeasurable beyond.

It’s impossible to fathom. But we can comprehend
something much closer to home: our solar system.
We can grasp the solar system’s amazing power. And
though we are like a grain of sand in comparison to it,
we can understand our individuality – our uniqueness.

Within that cluster of sun and planets is a startling
balance and harmony that shows how we fit into the
world. It teaches us how we can achieve the balance
and rejuvenation needed to enjoy a wonderful life.
We can learn more about who we are and why
a simple life is truly living. Simple does not mean living
without, but loving what we have to the full.

Let’s take a closer look at what keeps our solar
system together – our magnificent sun.

The sun seems
to have limitless

energy

It’s said that “if the sun stopped producing
energy in its core, on Earth, we wouldn’t realize
something is wrong for 50 million years.”
That’s good to know because without the sun,
life on Earth would not exist.
Sunlight is essential for human health and
longevity; without it, there would be no life on
Earth. More importantly, energy from the sun
is converted to energy by plants; in turn, our
bodies convert plant food into energy within us.
It rejuvenates our life!

5

The energy from our magnificent sun
is needed for all living things to exist

– it’s a marvel!

Our
bweoaruldtiful

is perfectly positioned in the solar system to sustain
life. Our oceans and the Earth’s natural processes
regulate energy from the sun in a complex balance
that makes all life possible. All the parts
of our Earth work together to make
a harmonious whole.

From space,
Earth can be
seen as a
whole body

of life – a beautiful

living entity.

All of Earth’s living systems work so well together,
forming an interconnectedness that creates the whole.
If one part is neglected, the rest suffers. Just as the
Earth needs the sun, the whole Earth is what makes
our lives possible: it gives us life, provides our home,
and nourishes us, and we, in turn, become a part of it.

The human body is similar to the Earth. Everything
works within the body to keep us healthy, make us
feel good, and preserve who we are. That resilience
depends on the body’s interconnected systems
working harmoniously. Even the cells within our
body have a similar interconnected system. Almost
70% of your body is comprised of cells; the regular
regeneration of those cells is what keeps you alive,
healthy, and living a long life.

Rejuvenate

Our team of medical experts suggest
adding to your supplement program

“Targeted nutrients acetyl-L-carnitine,
coenzyme Q10, L-glutathione, superoxide
dismutase (SOD), and a specialized
ATP formula…. [support] mitochondrial
function and reduce oxidative stress
and inflammation.” – Mark Hyman, MD

This year, we can all brighten our lives just as the sun brightens
ours. How do we do that? By supporting our mitochondria!
Mitochondria are present in every cell in our body. They convert
the energy from the food we eat into energy that our cells can
use. They are fundamental to life and health. To help revive
and improve our mitochondria, let’s take a look at the experts’
supplement suggestions.

Start turning back the clock by adding these
ingredients to your regimen:

• Acetyl-L-carnitine
• Coenzyme Q10
• L-glutathione
• SOD (superoxide

dismutase)

Why? All these ingredients
increase mitochondrial energy!
By supercharging your cells, you
can reduce fatigue, sharpen your memory, and boost your
strength. These supplements can be found individually,
or you can look for a good formula that combines all of them.

Key doctor recommendations to

rejuvenateour energy

The doctors all agree as to what key nutrients make a real difference
in supporting mitochondria to produce energy, and can rejuvenate and

energize our lives. To test their theory, the team conducted a study
and gave the nutrients to participants in small packets.

Each pack contained: NMN, Quercetin, Mitochondrial Formula, Omega-3.
The group followed the prescribed regimen for just 30 days.

Tip Make your own packets at home. Use a small snack bag and add your
supplements, so they’re convenient to take with you. You can pre-make
them at the start of your week, and reuse the bags on the following week.
Alternately, you can find pre-made packets at your natural supplement
store that are convenient to grab and go. Multiples are often put into
a bottle or box so they can be neatly stored in a cupboard.
