SnS Weight Management Program

Slim and Sassy Weight Management Program

Let me say to all the guys out there, before you turn and run the other direction I want you to know that this is equally the Slim 'n Studly  Weight Management program.  In fact, the men that are using the SnS Metabolic blend and associate nutritional products are experiencing phenomenal results.  Men and women, I invite you both to read on and learn more about the program I'm using to assist thousands of individuals in achieving and maintaining their Ideal Body Weight!

I recognize that you may not yet have all of the items noted in the full protocol, so you will follow it according to what you have. The SnS products are not quick fixes or the magic bullet to fast fat reductoin - they are tools to accelerate the process and get your body functioning the way it is suppose to.

Remember that your daily habits are critical to success  with your nutrition accounting for 85-90% of your results and exercise accounting for 10-15% of your results.   Follow the principle of eating the right food, in the right amount, at the right times in order to optimize your metabolism and achieve optimal health.  Increase exercise and/or physical activity to at least 30 minutes per day - incorporate cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and flexibility/stretching.    If you have questions or feel like you need more customization of your regimen, please let me know.

For the individuals who choose to engage in  the full Slim 'n Sassy Weight Management program, you are able to receive whatever nutrition and fitness coaching you need from me at no charge. This includes custom meal plans, exercise program design, nutrition coaching sessions and accountability check-in calls, and more.  I am committed to your success!

SNS Weight Management Program Protocol

Slim ‘n Sassy Metabolic Blend is a proprietary blend of Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils designed to enhance your weight management efforts by aiding the metabolic system to function optimally. If body weight is not an issue for you, SNS will still be important to the health of your metabolism and the nutritional cleansing of toxins from your body.

In brief, Cinnamon bark oil helps to improve insulin sensitivity and thus improve carbohydrate metabolism which helps to ensure more stable blood sugar levels. Stable blood sugar leads to less dramatic appetite and less cravings for unhealthy foods.

Peppermint oil aids in healthy digestion and increases satiety which means you are less likely to get post-meal cravings. Healthy digestion also means better nutrient absorption.

Ginger oil is not only an important digestive aid it also increases lipolysis or the break down of fat cells.

Grapefruit oil is well known as an appetite thermostat, meaning it helps keep your appetite in check. In addition, grapefruit oil increases lipolysis and decreases adipogenisis (the creation of new fat cells) and it is a natural cleansing and detoxing agent.

Lemon oil is a powerful detoxifier and cleanser so it helps to improve liver function and it promotes the release of toxic fat cells (these are those stubborn fat cells that won’t budge no matter how hard you try). Lemon oil also is a powerful agent for increasing lipolysis and decreasing adipogenisis.

Daily Protocol:

· 3-5 drops in 16-24 oz of water 3-5 times per day. You can just always keep a few drops of SNS in your water and sip throughout the day for a total of about 20-30 drops per day. It is okay and in some cases strongly advized to start at lower initial intake and work up to the 20-30 drops/day.

· 6-10 drops in empty gel caps 3 times per day or 3-5 drops in empty gel cap 5-6 times/day. You can get empty gel caps at most health food stores or pharmacies or at www.aromatools.com. Note: ingest gel cap as soon as you fill them.

· Some individuals will choose to apply SNS topically in addition to one of the above mentioned oral consumption protocol. You can simply pour a few drops into your hand and apply to abdomen, buttocks, thighs, or bottoms of the feet. You can also use a carrier oil such as extra virgin olive oil or fractionated coconut oil.


Daily = Lifelong Vitality Pack (VMz, xEO Mega, Alpha CRS+), Slim 'n Sassy (~20-30 drops), Terrazyme capsules or DigestZen oil, Trim Shake or JP Complete Shake (1-2 per day maximum or 1 every other day minimum). You can use any other oils daily/weekly as you require.



Monthly = Nutritional Cleansing & Detox for Optimal Health & Weight Management

Month 1 = Zendocrine capsules & Zendocrine oil

Month 2 = GX assist + PB assist

Month 3 = Gx assist + PB assist

Month 4 = Zendocrine capsules & Zendocrine oil

Double Your Weight Loss Starting Now

Many people think that gaining weight during the holidays is inevitable. I talk to people all of the time who accept holiday weight gain as a natural part of the season as much as they expect to see Christmas decorations in the stores. Unhealthy weight gain at any time of the year is not natural, nor desirable. In fact, the ideal is to maintain not gain. I have even coached hundreds of people in how to shed excess body fat during the holidays without feeling deprived or missing out on the foods they love. The key is the right foods, in the right amount, at the right time….Balanced Nutrition.



In addition, there is one super simple activity that can make a HUGE difference in not only whether or not you gain weight, studies show that it can help you double your weight loss (even during the final two months of the year!).

What is the secret? Bite It & Write It!! A 2008 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine shows that by tracking your daily food intake in a "food journal" may double your weight loss efforts.


Researchers from Kaiser Permanente's Center for Health Research performed a study on 1,685 overweight and obese adults (men and women), whose average weight was 212 pounds. The researchers advised participants to adhere to a reduced-calorie eating plan ( DASH eating plan ) and had them record their daily food intake and their daily/weekly minutes of exercise.


After 20 weeks, the average weight loss was 13 pounds per person. In addition, researchers discovered that the more participants recorded what they ate, the more weight they lost in the end. Participants who did not keep a food diary lost about 9 pounds over the course of the study, while those who recorded their food intake six or more days per week lost 18 pounds—twice as much as those who didn't track any food!

12 Steps to a Lighter Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving Week!  There is so much to be grateful for.  I am grateful to share with you some tips to help you stay on  the lighter side this holiday.  I am also grateful to share with you a couple of events I'm doing this week that I know will be a great blessing to all who attend.

Tips for a Healthier Thanksgiving:

 Thanksgiving is a holiday centered around family, friends, & feasting (and for some football) as we express our gratitude for our many blessings. There are so many wonderful, positive, uplifting aspects of the holiday. What comes along is over-eating, excess sweets, lots of low levels of physical activity, and thus weight gain. For those who are susceptible to excessive holiday weight gain, this year lets focus on the "Maintain don't Gain" principle. We can avoid being part of the Big Fat problem by incorporating some of the following holiday healthification tips:




* Exercise every day of the week prior to and following the holiday.

* Exercise on Thanksgiving by going for a walk, run, bike ride, hike with friends or family.

*Participate in a Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot (1-mile fun run/walk, 5K or 10K).

* Rather than just watching football on TV, participate in a friendly game of football with friends & family.

* If you have a tendency to splurge on Thanksgiving day, then be sure that the 2-3 days prior to the holiday you eat very healthy & clean (watch portions, eats lots of fresh fruits & veggies, some whole grains, and very lean proteins). Do the same for 2-3 days following the holiday.

* Be sure not to skip breakfast and/or lunch on Thanksgiving day. Doing so will result in overconsumpion and less likelihood to make healthy food choices. Not to mention meal skipping teaches the body to become an efficient fat storing machine.

* Use a smaller plate for your Thanksgiving Day meal. You will be less likely to overconsume. If you have a tendency to fill your plate with everything that is offered, select the items that special to you. For example, peas & carrots may be foods you could eat any day of the year. If you really love sweet potatoes and cornbread stuffing and these are foods you only ever eat on Thanksgiving, then skip the peas & carrots.

* Eat to the point of satisfaction rather than to the point of "I'm so full, I can't walk". We can eat small frequent meals throughout the day if we don't overconsume. This means more opportunities throughtout the day to enjoy these special holiday foods.

* Eat your calories, rather than drinking your calories. Opt for pure water rather than sodas, juices, alcoholic beverages, hot chocolate, etc. Water is what your body needs & it's calorie free. You can make some yummy flavored water by adding fresh fruit or CPTG essential oils to your water.

* Watch the sauces & gravies. Either skip them altogether or if you must have them, then consume just enough to get the flavor. Skip or go very light on whipped cream. Use the "dip 'n stick" technique rather than pouring your sauces/dressing directly on your food.

* Share a dessert or at least watch your portion size. Desserts are typically loaded with fat, sugar, & calories.

* Healthify your recipes - use applesauce instead of oil in your baking, use evaporated skim milk in place of cream, use more herbs/spices & less butter/oil in cooking, use chicken stock/vegetable stock in place of butter/oil in cooking, use lowfat or nonfat dairy products.

Events of the WEEK

If your week sounds like this...




Wednesday and Thursday:

Its beginning to smell a lot like turkey every where I go. Well the Turkey is not enough, add a ham to bake and glaze, stuffing to make and pies to bake and mashed potatoes too. I’ve been on my feet all day and soon the guest will come. The house is sparkling clean, the decorations hung, I’m worn out and wondering when the cooking will be done.



Friday and Saturday:

Dashing through the stores with a shopping cart or two, trodding down each aisle to find the super deals. My Arms are loaded down with packages and such, that cramping in my hand means I’m carrying too much. The shopping frenzy’s begun and will last almost a month; my head is throbbing from the noise and pressure – oh what fun. Hussle & bussle, hussle & bussle, stressing all the way!
