Those of you who have been following my blog know all too well the wild weather we dodged last year during our Double X journey from our rocky sail across the Pacific Ocean to navigating the often turbulent waters around the South Pacific islands. It was clear to see that environmental changes – rising ocean temperatures, declining fish populations, coral bleaching – had created a new normal for the islanders. It was also clear that embracing a sustainable, healthy lifestyle was more important than ever, not only for the islanders, but for people all around the world. As Francesca and I headed back home, we started to formulate a plan to help. Continue reading A Better Future for Health→

I have to say, it sure was a joy to introduce the next generation of Triple X. Here is to plant power and optimal health! Amway Japan Headquarters, Tokyo, Japan. August 2017. Photo: Joel Van Kuiken
I’m just back from Japan where I was invited to introduce the next generation of Triple X. While there, I was able to catch up with long-time friends, meet new friends, and talk with so many people who have a passion for health and the Nutrilite brand. So much so, they were eager to celebrate the brand with an amazing feat that, if all went well, would be a record-breaking achievement worthy of a Guinness World Record.

In my last post, China and the Sea of Circles, I talked about my whirlwind trip to China, visiting Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou for speaking engagements and taking in all the progressive changes that are moving the country toward a more sustainable future. I also had a chance to return to the Amway Botanical Research Center (ABRC) in Wuxi to learn about the latest research updates, including one that had me thinking about my early days as a young scientist.

Amway China team members join in to pose for a group hand-heart at our farewell dinner in Guangzhou. This is a perfect gesture for this friendly group filled with so much passion and personality. Guangzhou, China, July 2017.
I just returned from a whirlwind trip to China where I spoke about the future of the Nutrilite brand. Once the plane hit the tarmac, we were off and running for nine days with scheduled events in Shanghai, Wuxi, Beijing and Guangzhou, punctuated only by travel days. I’ve been regularly visiting China since 1998 when I helped introduce Nutrilite into the market. Like my previous trips, positivity and passion about health and business flowed, but this time what I saw, what I experienced, was much more than I expected. In fact, I would say it was beyond amazing. Continue reading China & the Sea of Circles→

It has been a busy month as I hit the ground running … literally … with kids definitely on my mind. A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to be a part of Kids Run the OC, an innovative program that encourages kids to eat right and stay active to avoid the consequences of overnutrition and obesity. Through the Nutrilite™ brand, Amway was a proud sponsor. Francesca and I were excited to participate and cheer on all the kids. You can check out all the photos on their website at www.kidsruntheoc.org. Continue reading Healthy & Happy Kids Start Here→
