Comments Off on Winners of the Viiva Breakfast Body Challenge- Round 1
Round 1of Viiva’s Official Breakfast Body Challenge winners are three strong individuals with inspiring stories. From battling mental health to handling the aftermath of a stroke, the winners embody what it means to WAKE UP and LIVE! Read their stories below.
Stephanie Ortiz
STEPHANIE’S STORY- 1st place winner, $10,000 and 7-night Mediterranean Cruise for 2, May, 2020
“I have always struggled with depression and anxiety. I always just tried to deal with it because my family had the idea that psychiatrists were for crazy people and that we just had to get over it. I tried for a long time to deal with my depression and anxiety but over time it got worse. I got to the point where I had lost my thirst for life. I cried every day and wondered why I was being tested and feeling like my life had no purpose.
This Challenge gave me the opportunity to look at life from a different perspective. I learned so much about myself and what I am capable of, and I have been able to step out of my comfort zone and start living life where, before, I was just existing. I have been given the chance to get my mind, body, and spirit in order so that I can live a life of abundance and joy. My journey is so much more than just weight loss. I am committed to changing my life.”
Terri Brown
TERRI’S STORY- 2nd place winner $2500
“Back in May 2018, I was in a massive car accident where I was hit by two cars driving 65 miles an hour…The car accident caused me to have severe back pain to the point where the simplest things like bending over would cause me agony. I was also suffering from PTSD and depression caused by the car accident. I would stay in bed for days at a time unable to function with no desire to even watch TV. My weight started spiraling out of control! When the competition was announced…I decided I had absolutely nothing to lose.
In the first month, I lost ten pounds. For the first time since the car accident, I felt [like] I had control over my life. [Then] in August, I moved with my kids into a tent in Springville so they could go to school while we were working on selling our house. I was afraid that I would not be able to lose weight while living in a tent, searching for a house, and selling my house.
…I was in my tent waking up when I had an “AHA!” moment and realized that I was able to stand up without any assistance. It happened so gradually over [a] month and a half that I almost forgot that I had been injured. This competition has not only healed my body, but it has also healed my mind. I look forward to each and every day and can’t wait to see what I can accomplish in the next 90 days!”
Paul Carson–
PAUL’s STORY- 3rd Place Winner- $1,000
“Thirteen years ago, I had a stroke, so my wife has chronicled this story for me. I was left with total paralysis on my right side and with severe speech and cognitive dysfunction. However, that wasn’t the end of my life!
Despite my regular exercise, I have continued to gain weight over the past decade or so. However, all that changed 90 days ago when I decided to join the rest of my family on the Breakfast Body Challenge. As a stroke survivor, I keep a very consistent routine, which was part of the reason for my initial resistance to joining the Challenge and making dietary changes. But that routine also made it easy for me to identify the VIIVA products as…the credible reason for the difference in my weight and health.
I am down 15 pounds and went from wearing a size 40 waist to a 36. It has been since before my stroke happened that I wore a 36″ waist! I am headed into the next 90-day VIIVA Challenge because I love waking up in the morning EXCITED to get on the scale and then share the good news with my wife.”

Comments Off on What is the BEST Vegan Shake? Organic Plant Based Protein Base
Years ago I was Vegan -inspired after spending 3 weeks at Hippocrates Health Institute and doing their 3 week Life Change program. I remember it was always difficult finding healthy vegan products, let alone vegan based protein shakes that were healthy, organic, vegan, mixed well and tasted great. Fortunately things have changed!
After much research I have found the BEST VEGAN PROTEIN BASE SHAKE on the planet and it comes in both vanilla and chocolate!
Many vegan shakes tastes chalky and don’t mix well. That is not the case with the Viiva plant based vegan shakes. You can mix it in a shaker bottle or blend in a blender.
Want to try something different that is vegan? Order yours today. You do not have to be vegan to enjoy it in fact studies show that a plant based shake is healthier and easier to digest than shakes made with whey.
Enjoy your choice of Vanilla or Chocolate. Each box has 30 individually packed shakes for ultimate convenience and perfect individual size. These shakes are also KETO friendly as they are low in carbs. Simply add mct oil or your favorite healthy fats to make it the ideal combo for your taste.
There are several options. Click here to automatically get 10% off or if you prefer to be a Viiva VIP or Brand Partner, click on those options. www.DaveandJoy.com.
Viiva is often referred to as the Breakfast company, and the Plant Based Protein Base shakes are the staple of the breakfast. Simply add kiiks (see above in the video) or enjoy alone as a shake. Either way it is the best way to begin the day. It is also enjoyed by many athletes and active individuals who enjoy a post-workout drink.
Comments Off on New Breakfast Trend is Catching On- Simple & Takes 1 minute or less…..
How do YOU begin YOUR day?
You’re a busy lady and on the go. Perhaps a career woman, or a mom with young children or a mom balancing both. Or no, maybe you are a woman 50+ experiencing ’empty nest’ for the first time AND enjoying a busy career?
Or a woman like myself, 60+ enjoying a creative career, balancing the roles of parenting (both children and parents if your parents are aging like ours and requiring more help) or also enjoying the role of being a grandparent. We as women wear many hats and have SO MANY ROLES….. including preparing meals.
With all these age possibilities mentioned above this pretty much covers the majority of women today that want to start their days right- without fuss and without taking too much time.
Introducing the ONE MINUTE MIRACLE.
Starting your day right means having the right kind of breakfast. Do you know most busy adults skip breakfast all together and grab something ‘on the go’? ‘Breaking the Fast’ (aka breakfast) and having your first meal of the day DO count. Starting your day RIGHT is actually a way to make deposits into your health bank and help with future cravings later in the day. No matter what time you choose to eat your first meal of the day, do NOT short change your health.
We women have far better and more important things to do in our busy lives, especially first thing in the morning, then ‘shop and chop’ or cook a hot meal or pour a sugar laden cereal and then feel empty and guilty as it is far from nutritious. This is why a new trend is happening across the country with a company that calls themselves “The Breakfast Company”.
What is interesting is many of us who have decided to eliminate sugar and processed foods have found that this breakfast combo is exactly what we need to nourish ourselves, raise our energy and focus, boost our metabolism- and get this…..boost our serotonin and dopamine levels. Seriously, yup! Doing all of these things helps ensure that we don’t get derailed from our goal of eating nutritious foods.
Did you know when you stop eating SUGAR (hidden sugars or otherwise, and that includes drinking alcohol) you’ll notice your ‘happy hormones’ of serotonin and dopamine are reduced? That often makes it more difficult to keep your promise to lay low – or keep your promise to yourself.
This IDEAL “One Minute Miracle Breakfast allows you to customize your breakfast each day and you can choose from a chocolate or vanilla plant based protein that is organic, GMO free, vegan and delicious.
Dozens of people whom I have introduced this breakfast regime to in the past 4 months have found that they have far more energy to do the things required in their busy day. Also, due to one of the Kiiks (Trim Max) their metabolism has kicked into gear, they are losing weight without dieting and they don’t have sugar or carb cravings.
There are many options available, the above is just the one that offers the largest variety and choices. I am very familiar with each product and can help you or anyone you know decide what is best for you, based on your goals and lifestyle.
Click here: www.DaveandJoy.com to order. This link offers you a 10% built in discount. Click on shop and see the choices. This is called the START PACK as it offers the best way to START YOUR DAY…. however, read below, we’ve put together an end of AUGUST pack that is 30% below wholesale. THIS ENDS at mid-night August 31st, 2019!
Not sure what to order but know you need something to begin your day, boost your metabolism and help with cravings? Contact me direct at info@DaveandJoy.com. 802-846-7530.
Our special end of Summer combo pack of all products for only $124 plus SH. We put this together in May when these products were introduced and will offer you the SAME if you order by or before midnight, eastern time, August 31, 2019!
MENTION this BLOG and I’ll add an extra day that will give you 21-days vs. 20 days.
Although I had access to these packs since May when they were launched it wasn’t until July 17th when I clicked on a 21-Day Reset that I began using these products religiously. I honestly attribute my ease with this reset to this nutrition. (As well as desire to drop weight and reduce my belly dramatically!)
Benefits? Ease, Nutritious, Delicious, Healthy-even for the whole family, Helps with Cravings (esp. sugar and carbs.) Boosts energy & focus and your metabolism. You may lose weight simply by reducing or eliminating sugar but this will help! It is not unusual for many women to drop 10-15 lbs. in 21-days using this pack. (obviously, results vary)

Comments Off on Boosting your network marketing revenues with effective follow-up after the sale is made
Boosting your revenues with effective after sales follow-up can be easy and fun, especially once you know the reasons behind it and the benefits. Also once you have an effective system in place you’ll see simple it can be.
If you aren’t doing some of the things listed below, chances are you are missing a lot of sales and repeat business.
Perhaps you have heard the KISS in network marketing? Keep it Simple Stupid.
(KISS is an acronym for `Keep it simple, stupid‘ as a design principle noted by the U.S. Navy in 1960. The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complicated; therefore simplicity should be a key goal in design and unnecessary complexity should be avoided.)
Finding new customers is crucial to the growth and success of your business. But we shouldn’t forget there is huge potential for revenue in our list of existing customers.
Also in our industry, satisfied customers do two things on a regular basis IF they are treated with respect and appreciation. They JOIN your team and you become business associates together with a common goal OR they refer you other customers. (We often use the term “upgrade” to individuals who literally upgrade to a different status other than a customer.
Below I may use the words Customer and Client interchangeably. In our industry of network marketing we generally call people who purchase product or services customers and if they engage in the business to earn income, are called distributors, members or in our case, Brand Partners.
Did you know that selling to a new client cost five to 25 times more than to an existing client, according to the Harvard Business Review?
A sound sales follow-up strategy is a great way to boost your revenues by selling more to existing customers and by getting referrals to new customers.
The period immediately following a sale is what is often called “the honeymoon phase,” when there’s a certain level of excitement on both sides. The client has just fulfilled a need or solved a problem; and product is on the way. Excitement is high.
But this is also a vulnerable time. Did you know that your attitude in this phase can make or break the future relationship with the customer?
Here are five simple steps to effectively follow-up after a sale.
1. Send a note to say thank you (Yes, a hand written note is still used in 2019!)
We suggest a handwritten note however some individuals prefer to send emails or ‘messages’ via social media, like Facebook. Whatever your method, it’s important to say thanks after making a sale as part of making it a good experience for your customer.
You can include messages such as “We are here for you” in your thank you note. Also make sure the note contains your contact details and the name of a person who can be reached in case the customer has an issue or question. (Generally called Customer Support)
2. Check in
It’s a good strategy to call customers a week or two after the sale and find out how everything is going. Are they happy with their purchase? How are they enjoying the product they received? Do they have any questions? But don’t overdo it. The customer’s time is precious. Especially, avoid trying to make a sale at this stage. Instead, listen to your customer’s needs and opinions, and try to resolve any issue they might have.
3. Keep the lines of communication open
Ask your customer for permission to communicate with them. Then send helpful information and advice based on their needs and interests. Focus on high-value content, such as ways to use the product or service, how to get the best results, articles or written testimonials OR before and after pictures, if it applies to the product they purchased. This is the phase of consolidating the trust between you and your client.
4. Think second sale
Talking to existing customers who already bought might seem like a waste of time, but it is actually the key to future sales. Regular contact will help you understand their needs, give you ideas about product improvements and improving their results as well as setting the stage to offer a complementary product that is available through your company.
(With ViiVa for example, suggesting different ADD-ONS or “Customized Boosts” to their breakfast shake that they are unfamiliar with could be a way to introduce new products. Or ask them if they have any plans to travel or go on vacation in the next 3-6 months, in which case you can introduce ViiVa Travel to them.)
By creating a relationship, you are going beyond a simple transaction and giving yourself an opportunity to offer more products or services to the client. (If you are with ViiVa, imagine how useful this will be when we have the Travel Division or the Market Place?)
5. Ask for referrals
Happy customers will refer you other customers. When a recommendation comes from someone who has actually used your products or services, it has an extra layer of credibility and trust.
Delighted customers make the best advocates because third-party claims of excellence carry more weight than self-promotion. For the most part, customers are willing to refer because they know how important referrals are and people like to help.
With ViiVa, our customers who LOVE the products and go on a monthly subscription order will be called VIPS. VIPS will also be able to refer new customers and earn ‘points’ that can go towards the purchase of future products.
Here’s how the follow-up will help you.
Boost your sales—Happy customers are more likely to come back and buy more. Increase customer retention—Satisfied customers are more loyal. Generate customer testimonials and referrals—Future customers will be more willing to trust you if you show them case studies that include quotes and names. Improve your performance—Customer feedback will help you improve your products or fix service problems. Innovate—By listening to customers’ needs and problems, you are gathering invaluable information to share with the corporate executive team to create new products or services. Differentiate—By following up, you’re doing something most businesses don’t bother with and that sets you apart from the herd.
Our team strives to educate and train in areas to help our brand partners grow their businesses. If you are looking to join a company and would like to explore ViiVa, please give us a call. 802-846-7530 or email us at info@DaveandJoy.com.
Comments Off on ViiVa : The Breakfast Company (Breakfast Solution)
This article was written in 2014 by John Rampton… and although many of his points are accurate today, there is a lot of talk about intermittent fasting these days and actually skipping the traditional ‘timing’ of breakfast….but NOT the nutrition.
How does THIS come into play if you decide to SKIP breakfast on one of your intermittent fasting days? I can tell you what I will do IN MY life on those days!
For me on those occasional days, I’ll simply have my nutritious BREAKFAST PROTEIN SHAKE at a later time!
SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM and click on the video link. You’ll see what VIIVA has that will make all of our breakfast meals more enjoyable, easier, quicker and more nutritious.
First let’s see the benefits of eating breakfast, as stated below. Then we’ll offer a new ‘twist’ on the subject and share a solution that VIIVA is addressing on this very subject matter.
Chances are you’ve heard many times in your life that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And over the years, there have been countless studies attempting to prove–and even disprove–this advice, and to determine the consequences if you miss out on this meal.
So, what is the truth? Is breakfast really that important? In short (no surprise), yes it is. Should you skip breakfast? Probably not, unless (as mentioned above, you are doing intermittent fasting. In which case, simply enjoy your breakfast shake, at a later time.)
Breakfast is:
1. Good for Your Overall Health
There have been numerous studies over the years that have shown that eating breakfast frequently is beneficial for an individual’s health in several different ways. For example, Harvard conducted a 16-year study of 26,902 American men aged 45 to 82 and found that those “who skipped breakfast had a 27 percent higher risk of CHD compared with men who did not.” In other words, these men were susceptible to heart attacks because of coronary heart disease associated with bad sugar levels.
Other research has found that eating breakfast can decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes in women and reduces obesity because it limits mid-morning snacking. Of course, this doesn’t mean that you can eat an unhealthy fried dish every morning; it means that eating a well-balanced breakfast is just plain good for your health. Heck, forget well-balanced–just toss down a dish of cereal….. (NO don’t do that! Enjoy a healthy protein shake with customized nutrients instead!)
2. Improves Your Memory
Another area of research has focused on the relationship between breakfast and short-term memory. One study released in the Journal of Adolescent Health of 319 adolescents (aged 13-20 years) found that “high energy intake from breakfast had a beneficial effect on immediate recall in short-term memory evaluated on the whole sample.” (YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THE CUSTOMIZED BREAKFAST OPTIONS BEING OFFERED BY VIIVA! Some will be designed for enhancing your memory, some for getting GREENS in your diet, some for energy, some for mood enhancement etc.)
There was also a study released in the Journal of Physiology and Behavior that discovered that eating breakfast, such as oatmeal, improved the spatial and short-term memories of elementary school children. While these studies looked at children and teenagers respectively, it’s believed that eating breakfast can improve short-term memory in adults as well.
3. Boosts Energy
According to a 1999 study published in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition, consuming a breakfast high in fiber and low in carbohydrates will make you feel less tired during the day.
When your breakfast consists of items like whole-grain breads and cereals–which should provide at least four grams of fiber per serving–you’re fueling your body for the entire morning. If you are a high caffeine user, consider getting a protein into your body at breakfast, so that your caffeine has something to bind with for maximum energy. (Make sure you avoid fast food cereals that are full of empty calories and sugar!)
4. Improves Your Mood
A 1999 study in the Journal of Physiology and Behavior of 144 volunteers found that those who had breakfast cereal prior to the test sessions arrived in a better mood and were even calmer following the sessions than those who did not. In short, having these vital nutrients every morning can help make you more positive. (New studies show that breakfasts with a protein base (whey or plant based protein powder for example) are actually healthier for you! A quick and ideal solution would be a protein base shake with healthy carbs and the ability to customize to the person’s nutritional needs. Mom’s need a different set of nutrients than children, than athletes, than seniors, etc.)
No matter what age you are, eating breakfast every morning will make you feel less restless and irritable.
5. Consumes More Nutrients
Since most of us are on the go most of the time, it can become extremely difficult to eat a well-balanced meal. However, if you have the time every morning to eat breakfast, you are probably making sure that you also have the chance to consume important nutrients. (Once again, a quick SHAKE with the ideal nutrients could be the perfect solution in our fast paced life.)
According to research published in the journal Nutrition Research and Practice, those who eat breakfast daily are consuming beneficial nutrients like calcium and fiber.
6. Helps Burn Calories
Whether you’re dieting or not, breakfast is a great way to help burn those unwanted calories. By consuming smaller meals throughout the day, you’re increasing your body’s metabolism. In fact, research conducted by Harvard of 17,000 men discovered “that those who frequently have breakfast consistently weighed less than those who rarely or never ate breakfast ” (This is being debated by new science and those in favor of a Keto lifestyle or ‘diet’ suggests that a healthy protein based ‘shake’ would actually be more useful to the body and maintaining health as well as your ideal weight, than the ‘average cereal’ being consumed today.)
7. Improves Concentration
This shouldn’t come as a surprise since breakfast has already been found to improve energy and short-term memory. Research has discovered that eating breakfast also boosts concentration. In a 2008 issue of Indian Pediatrics, it was found that “middle-school students who ate breakfast every day had better attention, concentration, memory, and school achievement than those who consumed breakfast only sometimes or never did.” During sleep, the main source of the brain’s energy, glucose, decreases, hence the help from breakfast.
Recent research explains that eating a healthy breakfast–such as eggs, oatmeal, yogurt, and fruit–keeps “blood sugar levels steady and allows optimal cognitive function throughout the day.” (Once again for a quick breakfast, a new solution for people of all ages, is a protein based shake!)
It does take a little forethought and you may have to plan three extra minutes in the morning, but if you want to improve your health, memory, mood, concentration, and energy level, start eating a healthy (or mostly healthy) breakfast every morning.

Comments Off on Do YOU Skip Breakfast? If so, perhaps we have a solution…
Is it True that 31 Million Americans Skip Breakfast Each Day by Choice?
I have been a teenage girl, a mother with young children and now a grandmother and yet I still was unsure of the category of who skips breakfast the most. I figured it was the female gender but unsure of the age category. Who do you think skips breakfast the most?
According to HUFFINGTON POST 10/11/2011 12:28 pm ET Updated Dec 06, 2017 you may find the following statistics shocking.
If you Google the term “skip breakfast,” more than 10 million results turn up, often with information about how eating breakfast is crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Everyone may know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but that doesn’t mean that they’re all scrambling eggs and toasting bread. A recent survey by the NPD Group found that 31 million Americans, about 10 percent of the U.S. population, do not eat breakfast.
The Morning MealScape 2011 study surveyed 27,179 Americans from January 10 through March 7, 2011. The results indicated that males ages 18-34 are most likely to skip breakfast (28 percent) and females ages 55 and older were the most likely to eat a morning meal; only 10 percent reported skipping breakfast. Among children, skipping breakfast correlates with age — teenagers are more likely to not eat breakfast than younger children. See the chart below for more statistics:
The most common reasons people skip breakfast were that they weren’t hungry, didn’t feel like eating or they were too busy.
So what is being done to solve this nutrition epidemic?
Since we know eating breakfast has many ‘health and energy’ benefits and yet people are not still not eating breakfast here is what ViiVa is doing to solve this.
