My experience with Vivix

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Saya mula amalkan Vivix pada 2013-2014 sebagai ikhtiar untuk mengandung. Dah macam2 cara cuba dan amalkan sebelum tu. Bile kawan recommend Shaklee dan Vivix, saya pun cuba. Tak baca pun apa itu vivix dan benefit vivix. Saya just makan satu sudu setiap hari.

Lepas berbulan amalkan Vivix dan lepas 3 tahun menunggu dan hampir putus asa, saya berjaya mengandung dengan satu cycle duphaston dan clomid.

Lepas bersalin dah tak nak sambung makan vivix. Dah x rasa perlu makan vivix lg. Tp 8 months postpartum saya alami prolong menstruation. 3 bulan bleeding and spotting non stop. Jumpe Dr buat scan, tengok2 dinding rahim dah terlalu tebal and i was put on progesteron pills.

After meeting the Dr tergerak hati, maybe nak start balik Vivix. Masa ni baru la baca apa itu vivix, benefit vivix. Pada mulanya nak contact org lain untuk beli. Tapi terbaca posting pasal vivix from Wan Syahida Kahar. Terus beli dari dia. (Sekarang dah jd downline dia pun 😎)

Dari Dec 2016 sambung minum vivix sampai sekarang. Terasa perbezaan dlm badan. Tanpa saya sedar, Vivix byk membantu saya. Cuma kekurandan knowledge tentang vivix make me feel it was not important to continue consuming vivix.

Dengan keizinan Allah, this is how Vivix helped me as a PCOSer:

1. Rasveratrol has proven to improve insulin sensitivity in women with PCOS
2. Rasveratrol has proven to lower testosteron level in women with PCOS

Dua dua ni amat penting. Sungguh tanpa saya sedari, Vivix banyak membantu masa nak mengandung dulu. Sebab walaupun masih ambik dupaston dan clomid. Saya hanya perlu 1 cycle sahaja. Sebabnya, when insulin sensitivity is improved and testosteron level is low, it can avoid clomid resistant. Sesetengan orang, ambil clomid dengan dosage tinggi masih x berjaya akibat clomid resistant.

Perbezaan badan before and after Vivix:

1. Selalu penat, sukar untuk turunkan berat badan walau dengab diet dan senaman
2. Lepas minum vivix, saya rasa bertenaga walaupun penat. I workout better.  Stamina improved.
3. Berat mula turun, ada improvement sikit demi sikit. Untuk pcos, berat susah turun sebab insulin resistant dan testosteron yg tinggi dlm badan
4. Digestion improved and saya rasa lebih sihat. Sebab vivix is able to reduce inflammation of the body.
5. Ramai puji kulit cantik. Ada yang cakap saya lebih cantik lepas bersalin.

This is because of the other benefits of Vivix. Vivix can also help delay aging, improve digestion, prevent cancer, helps to treat diabetes, helps protect and repair celullar DNA, support heart and brain health, reduce inflammation and keeps you slim by preventing growth of fat cells. Subhanallah, hebatnya ciptaan Allah yang dikurniakan untuk manusia.

I am so thankful to my friend who recommended me to try Shaklee products, and I am so thankful on the benefits that i get from consuming Vivix. For so long saya berdoa pada Allah untuk di temukan dengan penawar yang sesuai untuk saya. And i think I have found it in Vivix. Subhanallah. Hebatnya kuasa Allah. Setiap penyakit ada penawarnya. Kita yang perlu bersabar, usaha untuk cari. Setiap doa ada jawapannya. Cuma kita sebagai manusia, sedar atau tidak. Kalau bukan kerana prolong menstruation yg saya alami, saya takkan blajar dan tau lebih lanjut tentang vivix dan shaklee dan takkan sambung amalkan vivix. Maybe that is how my prayers were answered. Subhanallah.

I am going to continue consuming vivix, untill i reach my goal to reverse my PCOS symptoms. Insya Allah.

Hopefully, untuk second baby, boleh try tanpa clomid. Insya Allah.

Doa, usaha, tawakal dan yakin.

Kalau nak saya share lebih lanjut tentang pengambilan vuvix atau product shaklee atau kalau ada yang berminat nak mencuba vivix atau product shaklee, boleh contact saya!

Daily Routine with Shaklee and the positive result

Bismillahirrahmanirahim

In the name of Allah; The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful

In this post, I am going to share on my daily routine with Shaklee.

My aim everyday is:-

1. Workout Bismillahirrahmanirahim

In the name of Allah; The Most Gracious and The Most Mercifulfor 30-45 mins a day (5 times a week, minimum 3)
2. Eat the right food/snack throughout the day
3. Take supplements to boost positive results

When I wake up, I immediately drink a glass of water and breakfast to kick start your metabolism.

Breakfast- oats + banana + almond milk + raw honey + cinnamon powder + dark choc bits

Or

Scrambled eggs/ sunny side up with vege (cauliflower and brocoli stir fry with butter, salt and pepper)

And then i take one serving of Shaklee Supplemet- Omega Guard,  GLA Complex and 1 teaspoon of Vivix.

(Of to the gym. It takes about 1 hr for me to reach the gym)

Workout

I usually combine strength training, circuit and interval running at the gym. My aim is to keep my heart rate up, burn fat and gain muscle mass.

Snack- Fruits (Apple, Pear, Grapes)

Lunch- Protien +  Vege + brown rice

My fav- Ikan singgang (ikan merah/jenahak/siakap rebus dengan asam keping, halia, garlic, lengkuas, serai, bawang merah, lada hitam and garam) with stir fri brocoli and cauliflower

Or

Grilled chicken or salmon.. etc

Supplement- one serving of GLA Complex

Snack- Almonds, Walnuts or fruits or dark chocs

Dinner- tom yum soup (ayam/seafood) eggs, vege

Supplement - one serving of Vita Lea

*Throughout the day i drink 1-2 Litre of Green tea/ Spearmint tea

*I try to avoid refined carbs, processed food, sugary drinks/food, dairy and wheat

And repeat.

My verdict- without supplements

1. Sangat letih. Balik nak terus tido je.
2. Susah bangun pagi sebab tak larat. Penat
3. Rasa stress, lapar, fatigue, selalu ngantuk, cravings nak makan macam2
4. Susah berat nak turun. Sekilo sebulan pun susah. Selalu down.
5. Penat, penat and penat

With Shaklee supplements

1. Penat tapi bertenaga. Senang bangun pagi. Rasa kuat, rasa sihat. Sleep better too.
2. Kurang cravings nak makan macam2. Tak ngantuk sgt dah at work.
3. Energy level and stamina improves. I feel stronger. I workout better. Can sustain longer, run longer, lift more weights.
4. Manage to lose 3 kg of fat and gain 3 kg muscle in 1 month.
5. I feel alot better. Tak rasa stress, xde rasa fatigue. I feel good about myself.
6. Alot of people mula puji makin kurus, kulit makin cantik. Ada yang cakap I look better lepas bersalin.

With the positive results, i am going to teruskan lagi usaha dan teruskan mengambil Shaklee. For better health, and to beat PCOS.

I have a long way to go. Slowly but surely Insya Allah. I will reach my aim.

Usaha, doa, tawakkal.

My Struggles and How Shaklee Helped Me

Bismillahirrahmanirahim

In the name of Allah; The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful

My previous post focused on the positive results from consuming Shaklee as my supplements. This post I want to share on how Shaklee helps me with my struggles in managing my PCOS symptoms.

Since 2012 i struggled with:
1. Weight Gain- I gained 30 kg while on hormonal treatment without proper supplements, diet and exercise.
2. Hair loss- I lost alot of hair at the top of my head (crown area). Lepas bersalin, gugur lagi banyak and rambut baru lambat tumbuh dan lebih nipis.
3. Depression - I was sad and reclusive. I prefer to be alone and refused to leave the house. Infertility and weight gain added to the stress I was in and it affected my relationship with alot of people.
4. Lethargy- I was tired all the time. Bangun pagi memang susah. Asyik mengantuk. Penat, malas, takde mood memanjang.
5. Irregular menstruation and anovulation- Period tak datang 6 bulan, tiada atau kurang ovulasi. Lepas bersalin pulak, period tak berhenti 3 bulan.
6. Emotional Eating - I am always hungry. Lepas makan lagi lapar. Tak boleh control.
7. Dark skin at groin area- kulit jadi hitam.

The contributing factors/causes are:

1. Hormonal inbalance/masalah system endocrine. Penghidap PCOS mempunyai tahap androgen yang tinggi. Hormon tostesteron yang tinggi mengakibatkan insulin resistance, kegemukan (lemak yang terkumpul di bahagian abdomen), keguguran rambut (male pattern baldness), hirsutism (excess hair growth di bahagian badan seperti janggut, misai). Progesteron yang kurang mengganggu ovulasi.
2. Insulin resistance- tahap insulin dalam badan akibat paras gula yang tinggi. Badan akan berada dalam fat storage mode. Ini yang membuatkan pengidap PCOS susah untuk menurunkan berat badan.
3. Inflamation of the body - keradangan badan akibat kehadiran pathogen, stress, kegemukan, tostesteron/insulin yang tinggi. This will affect ovulation, encourage, excess abdrogen, weight gain, irritable bowel movement.. etc..

Semuanya bersangkut paut dan berkait.

During my consultation dgn Dr Hamid Arshat, he explained that sebab musabab PCOS ada 2 factor: dalaman dan luaran

1. Faktor dalaman- Genetics
2. Faktor luaran - Gaya Hidup, pemakanan, exposure to chemicals.. dan sebagainya..

Dr Hamid Arshat ckp no 1 ikot keturunan. Focus no 2. Dr Hamid Arshat nasihat untuk ubah gaya hidup. Saranan Dr Hamid Arshat

1. Kurangkan pengambilan chemicals secara langsung atau tidak langsung, seperti pemakanan (bahan pengawet, racun perosak), bahan plastic (BPA), barang mekap, cream badan, shampoo tukar pada olive oil or coconut oil based.
2. Elak refine processed carbs, processed white sugar, fast food, processed food, junk food. Ambik whole food, sayuran, buah, complex carbo.
3. Bersenam. 30 minit satu hari.
4. Amalkan supplement yang sesuai untuk PCOS.

 In the beginning, it was hard. Especially bila kena ubah cara pemakanan and bersenam. I feel deprived, tired, always sleepy and i was under alot of stress, especially when there is no positivs results (irregular period, weight gain instead of weight loss). And then a friend at work recommended Shaklee to me, so i tried GLA Complex, Omega Guard, Vita-Lea, Osteomatrix and Vivix.

I feel the difference after consuming Shaklee. Within 1 month of consuming Shaklee, I feel alot better, healthier, stronger, happier. I see progression in my stamina and progress in weight loss. I no longer feel depressed, stressed, fatigue, lethargy. I feel good! I look foreward to my gym sessions everyday!

People have been complementing me on my skin. Some say i look better now, after giving birth.

This is how these supplements helped me.

GLA Complex
- The GLA is extracted from borrage seed and it is much more concerntrated as compared to Evening Primerose oils.

- Vivix has 100mg of resveratrol per serving (1 tea spoon) the balance is 1,290mg of polyphenols blend from Muscadine grapes, European elderberries and Purple carrot.
- Resveratrol was shown to lower testosterone and insulin levels in women with PCOS
- Vivix can also help delay aging, improve digestion, prevent cancer, helps to treat diabetes, helps protect and repair celullar DNA, support heart and brain health, reduce inflammation.

Shaklee does not provide instant result. But overtime, it can do wonders to our body. Why? Because it fills the nutrition gap that we could not get obtain from our diet/food intake.

Without the right diet and exercise, these supplements will reduce or relieve the damage that will occur in our body. But with healthy eating and regular workout, you will see positive results.

I have a long way to go. But with the right diet, right exercise and supplements, Insya Allah. The best combo to beat PCOS.
