You’re never too young to start taking control of your future. I’m glad that I’ve started building my own Reliv business because it allows me to dream big. I know that it will help me achieve my long-term goals, which includes supporting my parents and my family. And while I’m working to grow my business, I’m happy to enjoy all the great rewards along the way! Ralph Jed Rivera, Ormoc City
The products help me achieve optimal health so I can be my best every day. I have a very busy schedule juggling work and various social activities. I know that I can’t do everything, and my body cannot cope sometimes. But ever since I started taking Reliv, I notice that I have more energy so now I can do more and I love it!
Danica Pausa, Davao City
My Reliv business gives me the opportunity to have more quality time with my family. The additional income I earn from building a business from home helps augment our monthly expenses. I have recently won a Reliv staycation that I shared with my loved ones. It was a wonderful and priceless experience.

Tips on How to Stay Healthy this Rainy Season
Lee Lacocca, famous businessman and author, has been quoted as saying, “The trick is to make sure you don’t die waiting for prosperity to come”. He could easily have been talking about Distributors in the network marketing industry. It is up to each one of us to take action, daily, in such a manner that we are moving towards our personal vision and prosperity. So, firstly, you need a vision, a destination in life – a place in your life where you can see yourself in 5 years or whatever timeframe fits with YOUR vision. Yet your vision needs to be one that will challenge you, push you and demand that you give your best every day to achieve it! In 1962, U.S. President, John F Kennedy said, “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept.”
Bernie Birch Reliv Asia Pacific Sales Manager
In Reliv Philippines we have seen consistent growth over the last couple of years. This is because the Distributors who have a clearly defined vision are working towards that objective and pushing themselves to do their best. I commend each of you who are doing this; I’ve seen many of you realising your dreams and enjoying first-time experiences. Keep doing what you are doing and you will experience more of your dreams. We are now in the Win Your Way period of the year. Those of you who achieved the Phuket trip for this year, take hold of someone in your organization and lead them in winning their way to Osaka, Japan in May next year. If they have doubts, show them the way because in the words of JFK, “that challenge is one we are willing to accept!” Sponsor Promote Advance

OUR FOOD IS LEAVING US EMPT Y Food is not what it used to be. Several studies have shown a significant reduction in the micronutrient content of many fruits and vegetables over the course of the 20th century. The average vegetable found in today’s supermarket is anywhere from 5% to 40% lower in selected minerals than those harvested 50 years ago. A combination of factors contributes to the decline, but it is most easily explained by changes in cultivated varieties. As farmers select higher yielding varieties, the carbohydrate content increases, but concentrations of micronutrients decrease, often referred to as the “dilution effect.”
06
The agriculture industry has prioritized increased yields and improved resistance to pests and disease. This has led to innovations in mechanization and the development of new plant varieties through genetic engineering. Innovations focus on extending shelf life, as well as improving the taste and sensory experience of food. Convenience is now a driving force as consumers seek packaged foods that cut preparation time.
GOOD NE WS, BAD NE WS The good news: Advances have created a greater, more affordable food supply. Many deficiency and communicable diseases have essentially been eradicated and we have unprecedented access to a variety of foods, many of which are ready-to-eat, or require minimal preparation.
The bad news: Depletion of micro- and phytonutrients, increased incidences of over nutrition and epidemic rates of chronic disease. “Nutritional research has become much more important, since we can no longer assume that we can obtain all necessary nutrients from diet alone,” notes Reliv Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Carl Hastings. He adds: “As an example, the Food Science Department at the University of Illinois, my alma mater, has changed its name to the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, with more staff devoted specifically to nutrition research. Other universities have made similar changes in order to address the need for nutrition, not just food.”
LUNARICH AND THE E VOLUTION OF NUTRITION
LUNARICH R AISES THE BAR DR. GALVEZ, CHIEF SCIENTIFIC OFFICER AT SL TECHNOLOGY, A RELIV COMPANY, FIRST DISCOVERED LUNASIN AT UC BERKLEY IN 1996 WHILE WORKING TO IMPROVE THE NUTRITIONAL PROFILE OF SOY PROTEIN. HE NOTES: “AT THIS TIME, MOST PLANT BREEDING RESEARCH PROGRAMS WERE EMPHASIZING YIELD, DISEASE, PEST AND ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS RESISTANCE, INSTEAD OF NUTRITIONAL CONTENT.” MORE THAN 80 PUBLISHED
Case Study: Lunasin
STUDIES ON LUNASIN AT MORE THAN 30 RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS FOLLOWED. AND TODAY LUNASIN IS AVAILABLE IN A HIGHLY
Year: 1995
Year: 2006
Year: 2008
Research: Meta-analysis of clinical trials shows a 12.5% reduction of LDL cholesterol with the daily consumption of 25 grams of soy protein.
Research: Meta-analysis of clinical trials conducted after the FDA approval shows that, on average, 50 grams soy protein per day reduces LDL cholesterol by just 3%.
Research: Clinical study identifies the lunasin peptide in soy protein as the active ingredient responsible for lowering LDL cholesterol.
LUNARICH® FROM RELIV.
Result: The American Heart Association invites Dr. Alfredo Galvez, the leader of the study and discoverer of lunasin, to present at its national convention and publishes the study abstract in its journal Circulation in 2012. The very organization seeking to repeal soy protein’s FDA health claim acknowledged lunasin’s ability to support cardiovascular health.
AND FOOD PROCESSING
Result: FDA approves health claim in 1999: 25 grams of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Result: American Heart Association (AHA) petitions repeal the 1999 FDA health claim on soy protein. So what happened between 1995 and 2006 to soy protein’s ability to lower cholesterol? The demand for soy products skyrocketed with the FDA health claim, and producers developed more efficient manufacturing processes to meet that demand. Unfortunately, many of these processes, while increasing yield, removed the component in soy protein responsible for lowering cholesterol in the first place: lunasin.
BIOACTIVE FORM IN LUNARICH IS THE CULMINATION OF YEARS OF TRIAL AND ERROR IN AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION RESEARCH THAT SETS THE BAR FOR THE FUTURE OF NUTRITION SCIENCE. AS POLICIES AND PRIORITIES EMPHASIZE IDENTIFICATION OF DIETARY FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO OBESITY AND CHRONIC DISEASE, INNOVATIONS WILL EMERGE THAT IMPROVE THE NUTRITIONAL PROFILE OF FOODS, RATHER THAN JUST MAKE THEM MORE CONVENIENT, ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE.

LIFE IS MORE BEAUTIFUL WITH RELIV
THERE’S HOPE WITH RELIV
Lourdline Gerose of Bacolod City is thankful to Reliv for providing her the complete nutrition that she needs to operate a beauty salon and grow a Reliv business.
Formerly a government employee, Venus Chan of Catarman, Samar, is a stay-at-home mom who greatly benefits from Reliv’s optimal nutrition and rewarding income opportunity. She is passionate about sharing Reliv with prospects because it’s a way for her to help people jumpstart a healthier lifestyle and acquire a steady income source.
Reliv Nutrition Mix: Reliv Now®, Innergize!® and LunaRich X™ Missed Opportunities: I had a liver condition which made me feel extremely weak and lifeless. It was always a challenge for me to work at the salon because I didn’t have enough energy to last the day. There were times I had to forego some customers because I wasn’t sure if I could provide the personalized and fast service that they need. In effect, our daily sales suffered. Optimal Nutrition Saves the Day: I am grateful to the person who introduced me to Reliv. Since I started taking Reliv shakes, I have enjoyed a remarkable energy surge. My co-workers started complimenting my pleasant mood and increased efficiency. Working in a salon requires precision, speed and a happy disposition. With Reliv, I have achieved those positive traits and more! Nutrition for My Lifestyle: Reliv nutrition gives me the energy and stamina I need not just to be productive at work, but also to spend quality time with family and build our business. I wake up excited every day because I know I am sharing products that can help people achieve better health and finances. Reliv is for keeps!
Reliv Nutrition Mix: Reliv Now® and LunaRich X™ Looking for Answers: My mother, Erlinda, struggled with health issues such as high blood pressure, problems with breathing, back discomfort, sleep and a weak immune system. She was hospitalized many times in the past two years and was on medications but she remained weak. I also let her try various supplements to help her recover but nothing gave her the results that we wanted. Real Results: A concerned friend advised me to give Reliv shakes to my mother, which I did right away. After a few weeks on the products, my mom started enjoying good sleep, increased energy and stronger immune system. Her skin has also smoothened and glowed with health. I was so amazed with these results that I decided to give Reliv products a try and signed up as Master Affiliate. Joining Reliv was one of my smartest decisions in life because it did not only help my mother get back on her feet; it also led the whole family to better health. Extra Earnings: Reliv has not only given us our health back but, because I consistently share this with others during my free time, Reliv gives me a steady paycheck. If I allot more time doing this home-based business, my income will certainly be more rewarding. The mere thought of it excites me!

Darlene Jimiera of Silay City, Negros Occidental, is a hard-working bank employee who shares Reliv with prospects during her free time. She has been taking Reliv for years and has enjoyed remarkable energy.
Marcelita Fullo of Cebu City has seen improvements from Reliv that she never expected!
Reliv Nutrition Mix: Reliv Now® and Innergize!®
Recurring Discomforts: I have always suffered from painful menstrual cramps and rashes. I used to dread having my period because I knew I’d be cranky and miserable. Having problems managing my blood sugar levels has also caused me to have bouts of headaches and sudden exhaustion, which hinders my day-to-day productivity.
Headaches and Stress: Before Reliv I suffered from headaches and elevated blood pressure. I would usually feel the throbbing discomfort on my head whenever we have tons of work and deadlines to meet. I could not think straight and felt like my energy was slowly draining. I was also rushed to the hospital the first time my blood pressure went up to 130/100. That time I suddenly could not stand nor move and dizziness started taking over me. It was both scary and sad to know that I had to suffer from these health issues at an early age of 35. Sweet Relief: As per doctor’s advice, I took medications, learned how to manage my stress and shifted to a healthier lifestyle. In spite of all the efforts, I found it hard to sleep at night and my energy remained at an all-time low. My sister, who is an active Reliv Distributor, encouraged me to add Reliv products to my daily health regimen. I agreed to take Reliv shakes twice a day and after a few weeks I noticed some positive changes in me. I started enjoying quality sleep and improved energy. Headaches rarely bother me and my blood pressure gradually returned to a healthier range. Because of Reliv, I’m back in control of my health!
Reliv Nutrition Mix: Reliv Now® and LunaRich X™
Positive Changes: Since I’ve started Reliv almost a year ago, I noticed that my abdominal discomfort and itchy rashes have lessened significantly. I can now accomplish household chores and engage in any physical activity during my menstrual cycle. Additionally, headaches and fatigue rarely bother me. I wasn’t expecting all these results, but I gladly welcomed these side benefits. New Opportunity: Now that I have regained control on my health, I have decided to focus on doing the Reliv business. I intend to allot more time in sharing about Reliv’s wonderful health benefits and exciting business opportunity. I believe that Reliv is hope – that anyone can be financially successful, that optimal nutrition will lead us to better lives!
Health is Wealth: With Reliv’s optimal nutrition, we can enjoy the rewards of good health through advanced nutrition made incredibly simple. Make sure to take your Reliv shakes every day to help you feel great and live life to the fullest. Reliv is truly worth your investment! 09
UNFORGETTABLE BONDING MOMENTS Nenita & Rimel Dayap, Bacolod City
START OF MANY GREAT RELIV ADVENTURES Rowena Waga, Tagum City
“My husband Rimel and I never expected that we would be part of the Philippine delegation to the Reliv Asia Pacific Leadership Summit in Phuket, Thailand. It was a humbling and inspiring experience for us to meet and bond with other top Reliv Distributors from Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Indonesia not to mention Reliv Asia Pacific President Mr. Scott Montgomery. They were eager to share their fascinating journey to Reliv success, as well as useful tips that could help us move our business to the NEXT LEVEL.
“Our Phuket trip with Reliv was really unforgettable because aside from the fact that it was our first international trip as a couple, it led us to explore a wonderful tourist destination, learn new insights about leadership and inspired us to move our Reliv business to a whole new level! This trip had also motivated us to teach our downlines to reach higher targets and to experience the rewarding Reliv lifestyle. We just had our very first Reliv trip and we can’t wait to experience more of them as we build our business stronger in the future.”
We enjoyed every part of this Reliv trip especially the visit to James Bond Island, shopping time at Central Festival, and the fun team-building activity. This new travel experience has fueled our passion to share Reliv with more people. We definitely look forward to qualifying and getting on board for the next travel reward!”

EVERYTHING WE EXPECTED AND MORE! Maricel Antiporda, Bacolod City
“My first international trip with Reliv was unforgettable because I experienced it with the exceptional Reliv Distributor leaders and Corporate leaders in the Asia Pacific region. The Leadership Training gave me new insights on how other business-builders achieved their Reliv success. The stories they shared were both touching and inspiring.
“We had never been to Thailand before or to any destination outside the Philippines, and our Phuket experience with Reliv was like living our dream. There were a lot of things that we loved about this trip such as the sumptuous buffet breakfast, insightful Reliv training and the James Bond Island tour. But most remarkable for us was the chance to spend time with each other and appreciate the beauty of a newly discovered place. My husband, Nene, loved our spacious room and the great views from our private veranda. We were fortunate to earn the opportunity to enjoy this fantastic travel incentive. With this new experience, our passion to share Reliv with others has grown by leaps and bounds!”
My companion and I thought the Phuket resort was just perfect. We enjoyed the calming views from our private balcony – the serene color of the sea, resort’s well-kept lawn and the chirping birds perched on the ledge. The sceneries were so relaxing that we became oblivious of time. The tour let us experience the Thai culture and gave us a glimpse of what it is like to live in such a beautiful place. Winning this trip has really inspired me to do better and focus on higher business goals. Thank you Reliv for this fantastic travel opportunity!

what we loved most about the
2015 RELIV INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE DOROTHY & SAMMY TAN, Quezon City Presidential Bronze Ambassadors “Being part of Reliv International Conferences always excites us. It provides a great venue to meet a lot of Distributors from all over the world and hear success stories that are truly life changing. The Reliv Conference this year in St. Louis, Missouri was no exception. We loved the energy, warmth and fellowship of our co-attendees. Meeting other Distributors from all around the world means another opportunity for us to expand our network of influence and new friends to talk to about a common passion – sharing Reliv with more people. We loved every moment of this international event but what was truly imprinted on our hearts was being on stage to share our Reliv story during the opening night of the Reliv conference. We hope with that rare opportunity we were able to inspire a lot of people to keep doing the Reliv business. It’s the perfect work from home set-up for couples who want to watch their children grow and have a purposeful life! We are forever grateful to Reliv Founder Robert Montgomery for starting this extraordinary company with his wife Sandy 27 years ago. We definitely look forward to partnering with Reliv for a very long time!”
JOY VILLESENDA, Ormoc City Reliv Bronze Ambassador “Attending the 2015 Reliv International Conference was truly an eye-opening experience for me. I met a lot of people from everywhere and their success stories strengthened my wall of belief in the Reliv products and business opportunity. It was really inspiring to know that they came from different places from all over the world and yet they gathered together for the same purpose – to celebrate the blessings of great health and financial ease because of Reliv. From the empowering talks, informative presentations, and the Reliv Headquarters tour, to the fun barbecue party, I witnessed the great camaraderie among the attendees, which made me realize how fortunate I am to be part of this dynamic international community of passionate business-builders.”

MARIA LYONS, Cebu City Reliv Bronze Ambassador “In my 15 years of attending Reliv conferences, I have always enjoyed meeting new people and hearing their remarkable stories – both health and lifestyle related. These stories have never failed to fascinate and inspire me to keep sharing Reliv. I find it so amazing that through Reliv products and business opportunity, people’s lives change for the better. With this change comes a bigger vision—to reach out to the needy and be an agent of hope. Thankfully, Reliv is a company that knows how to support its Distributors to help them realize their health and wellness goals, as well as their vision to touch people’s lives. My favorite part of the 2015 International Conference trip was spending time with Reliv Founder and Chairman Robert Montgomery, as well as the rest of the Reliv International corporate executives. I felt their tremendous love and support to Reliv Distributors and that wonderful emotion has left a ball of fire within me – which encourages me to reach out to more people and talk about Reliv with stronger passion and excitement.”
GENEROSE & WILLY UY, Calbayog City Reliv Ambassadors “We truly enjoyed our Reliv International Conference experience this year in St. Louis, Missouri! We learned a lot from the fully-packed conference agenda, Reliv HQ and manufacturing plant tours, as well as all of those people we met during the 4-day Reliv event. But the theme “Power of You” was our most remarkable Conference takeaway this year. For us, it was really about sharing Reliv with more people, to provide hope and give back to humanity. We are also thankful that aside from qualifying for this year’s Win Your Way to the USA promotion, we also won the St. Louis Challenge and became part of the exclusive dinner with Reliv Founder Robert Montgomery, Reliv Asia Pacific President Scott Montgomery and the rest of the corporate team members, plus other top business-builders from Asia Pacific. It was indeed a great honor and privilege for us to achieve this once in a lifetime opportunity!” 15
2015 Win Your Way promo winners from the Philippines joined Team Reliv Asia Pacific delegation in this year’s Reliv International Conference.

ADDITIONAL EARNINGS WITH TRAVEL PERKS
Pia Mauleon of Las Piñas City Stay-at-home mom and part-time Reliv Distributor
Maria Luisa Sarrosa of Hinigaran City Government employee, mom and Reliv Distributor
Pia and her husband Chito signed up with Reliv in 2006 and worked their way to become two of the most successful Reliv Distributors in Metro Manila. They decided to lay low after a few years due to a family matter but continued to share Reliv whenever possible. Destined for life-changing opportunities, Pia found her way back to Reliv last year and started rebuilding her direct selling business. “I am thankful that Reliv is such a great business model and that when life throws a curve ball at us in this industry, we can stop and then continue where we left off. When we were ready, we bounced back into the business with renewed energy and new perspective. Part of my strategy in business-building this year is to focus on retention because I believe that as I work on achieving repeat purchases from customers, my baseline monthly volume increases,” shares Pia.
Luisa was encouraged to join Reliv in 2013 merely to avail of product discounts for her family consumption. Her diabetic husband needs nutritional support for elevated blood sugar, while she needs supplements for energy boost. “I began sharing the remarkable health benefits that we experienced with Reliv with my co-employees and friends. After a few weeks, I started receiving calls from various people asking how they can order products. That was how I started building my Reliv business,” narrates Luisa.
With refueled passion and stronger drive to succeed, this loving mother of four was able to qualify for two consecutive Reliv trips: 2014 Reliv Leadership Camp in Baguio City and 2015 Reliv Asia Pacific Leadership Summit in Phuket, Thailand. These fantastic incentives have motivated Pia to work on higher goals and move her business to the NEXT LEVEL. “I love taking challenges for it encourages me to go out of my comfort zone and push myself to the limits. With the help of my sons, I am sharing Reliv with new prospects using e-commerce, Internet based business applications and popular social media sites. I believe that if we want a different result, we must definitely try a new business-building approach,” says Pia. 18

Reliv business-building complements Luisa’s full-time job in the Municipality of Hinigaran. She allots a portion of her free time in giving out flyers and sharing powerful Reliv stories with prospects and yet she gains a lot of good leads. “From my first Reliv paycheck of Php5,000, I am now receiving Php10,000 to Php15,000 every month. And just recently, I qualified for Reliv’s Win Your Way to Phuket, Thailand. Not bad for someone who’s doing the business very part-time. What really drew me to Reliv was the opportunity to help people improve their health and gain an additional source of income,” shares Luisa.

EXCITED FOR THE FUTURE
Lorna Gomia of Bacolod City Part-time Reliv Distributor
Donnabel & Jigs Cunanan of Malabon City Donnabel: Dentist & Part-time Reliv Distributor Jigs: Restaurant Branch Manager
Lorna is already in her 60s but continues to be among Reliv’s most passionate and productive Distributors in the Visayas region. She said Reliv is the perfect business model for her because she gets to work at her own pace and without any pressure. “I am thankful that I joined Reliv because it has allowed me to be my own boss, set my own hours and do the business around my priorities. What I love the most about this business is that I am rewarded with steady income and incentive trips for sharing Reliv at my most convenient time!” she says. Consistency has been Lorna’s key to achieving huge Reliv income month after month. “I share Reliv and make follow-up calls every day. It helps me generate more leads and ensures new sign-ups every month – be it Preferred Customers or Distributors. I also make a conscious effort to convert my customers to business-builders because it helps create a more solid and bigger organization, which I know contributes to optimum business growth.”
Donnabel and Jigs never thought they would give Reliv business a try. Direct selling was not their cup of tea and they are both happy with their chosen full-time careers. When their daughter Julia started experiencing remarkable health results with Reliv, they signed up for the Fast Start level to purchase more products at a higher discount level. “We were so amazed with Reliv’s optimal nutrition! Julia continued to take the products and we talked about her health progress on Facebook. After a couple of months, a lot of our friends, relatives and acquaintances started asking how they can avail of Reliv products. That’s when we realized that we need to take advantage of the income opportunity and that we can do Reliv business around our work schedule,” says Donnabel. One of Reliv’s consistent volume producers since the first quarter of the year, Donnabel and Jigs do not wait for the opportunity to share Reliv – they create it. In between work, family and church duties, they aim to talk to people every day, sign up new customers or Distributors each week and hit their business targets come month end. “We see Reliv as a means to ensuring a brighter future for our family – in both health and in finances. We may be new but we see ourselves being in this business for a long time. Reliv products work and these can be our instrument to providing hope for those who have health and financial issues. It’s really both humbling and inspiring to be part of a company that has brought nutritional breakthrough in the field of epigenetics. We love Reliv!” 19
EVERYDAY HEALTH & WITNESS
5 Tips to Stay Healthy During the Rainy Season
Before you go singing and dancing in the rain, keep in mind that there are numerous factors that can affect our health during the rainy season. The damp moisture in the environment play host to many disease-causing germs which may cause colds, dengue, malaria, fever or diarrhea. So aside from bringing an umbrella and getting your rain boots ready, check out these five practical tips for you and your family for a worry-free and enjoyable season!
#3: Eat Fresh Double check the quality of the ingredients you buy and thoroughly wash them before cooking or serving to avoid contamination or spoilage. Try to avoid foods cooked in open air which are likely to come in contact with airborne bacteria. It pays to prepare and cook your own meals at home and share with your loved ones. Home-cooked and healthy food on the table makes the rainy season a little warmer.
#1: Wash your Hands Regular hand washing is the simplest and most effective way to prevent the spread of infection or illness at home, in school, work area and public places. Teach kids as early as possible the importance of keeping their hands clean not only before and after eating but also in other situations such as after using the toilet, after sneezing, coughing and blowing their nose, after touching a pet, before and after treating a cut or wound, and so on. When water and soap are not available, alcohol-based sanitizers can be an alternative but remember that it cannot eliminate all types of germs.
#2: Check your Water Source Be extra cautious of contaminated water sources to prevent yourself from getting water-borne diseases like amoebiasis and cholera. If you’re unsure of the water supply, be sure to boil it or choose purified drinking water. Also make sure you use clean and safe water for washing fruits and vegetables. 20
#4: Exercise Did you know that regular exercise doesn’t just make us stronger but it also helps strengthen our immunity by stimulating blood flow. So get up during cold rainy days and exercise your lazy bones and muscles!
#5: Boost your Immune System Your regular daily meals may not be enough source of all the nutrients your body needs so make sure to take your two Reliv shakes a day! Reliv Now® or Reliv Now® for Kids provide the essential, complete and balanced nutrition that you need for optimal health. The synergistic blend of nutrients in each Reliv shake is easily absorbed by the body and immediately utilized so you stay in tip-top shape. A strong immune system is your best weapon against diseases!
