Wend

y lost 44 pounds, her son lost 30 pounds and her mom lost 24 pounds. How did they do it? Well, all from doing the KETO Lifestyle.

Wendy began looking at the Keto program because her 15 yr old son had severe epilepsy and wanted to know what she could do to help him. She was desperate since the neurologist said he was having constant seizures and wanted to send him to Duke Children’s Hospital for a study to see if he was a good candidate for brain surgery.

She began researching online what she could do to help him. That is when she found the Keto Lifestyle. The ketogenic diet was a treatment for epilepsy and discovered in 1921 by Dr. Russel Wilder, MD, of the Mayo Clinic. At about the same time, German biochemist and Nobel laureate Otto Warburg published a study showing that cancer cells, unlike normal cells, use glucose for energy. (Recent interest in this theory has prompted both animal and human studies showing striking results of the low-carbohydrate [low-glucose] ketogenic diet in certain cancers.)

It was found that children who had epilepsy could begin a Keto program and either eliminate completely or help their seizures tremendously without any medication.

After learning of this Wendy decided that it was in her best interest to put her son on this immediately. Knowing it would be hard because she delt with a teenage boy who love pizza she knew it had to be done.

What Wendy did not realize was what effects it would have on her family. During the first few weeks her son began losing weight and the seizures stopped. Wendy began losing weight and feeling better. And life began to change.

Wendy became obsessed with helping her son feel better and not have to go through the ordeal of brain surgery.

Breakfast: Bulletproof Coffee every morning

Lunch: Tuna Salad

Dinner:

Keto Pizza Pockets

Eggs, sausage, cheese casserole

It was not until their first visit back to the neurologist that made Wendy realize that what was happening in her home was nothing short of a miracle. Not only was it weight loss, but her son was almost seizure free, and the atmosphere in her home had changed.

You see when someone has epilepsy it messes with their emotions and mood. Wendy shares how her son was always angry, or mad and mean to everyone. As a mother it was very hard on her and she just did not know what to do.

After being on the keto program, her son started being happy, and nice and everything in her home changed.

Wendy became so passionate about this that she started helping others get on the Keto Lifetstyle. Wendy says “I’m Keto for Life� If you would like to know more about the Keto program, and what exactly Wendy did, go to

Remember your savings? Here's why you should make them work for you (BPT) - A generation ago, Americans were savers. When the Greatest Generation and Boomers needed to make a major purchase or wanted to take a trip, they put money aside. And then they saved some more. Putting money aside each week or month was an ingrained habit, perhaps as an outgrowth of people living through the Depression and World War II. But today, half of Americans do not automatically put money into their savings accounts with each paycheck. This is a routine that creates incremental gains every few weeks. According to a recent PurePoint Financial survey almost half of Americans today don't quite get the concept of saving for the short term. People are putting money into their employer-matched 401(k) plans for retirement, but they're not setting savings goals for the next one to five years. That's a mistake, says Pierre P. Habis, president of PurePoint. "People don't realize that not saving actually costs them money," Habis says. "They're leaving money on the table by not doing one simple thing: Maximizing their money by moving it from a checking account or traditional savings account to a high-yield savings account." Somehow Americans' money mindset shifted, and the instant gratification that comes with purchasing what we want, when we want it, has erased the concept of saving for a purchase.

Millennials in particular are frequently derailed from their short-term savings goals by impulse. The PurePoint survey found that compared to the Boomer generation, millennials are three times more likely to have their short-term savings derailed by an impulse trip or vacation because their friends were going; and equally three times more likely to buy something on impulse because of an online or social media ad. Other findings include: * 65 percent of Americans do not know they're missing out on free money by not having a savings account, and don't understand how interest rates can impact their savings. * 4 in 10 Americans believe their checking account and savings account have the same interest rates. * One-third of Americans prefer debt and instant gratification purchases to saving. * More than half of Americans let money sit in a checking account without transferring it to a savings account, where they can be earning interest. How much money are people losing by not earning interest in a high-yield savings account? The numbers are startling. According to some number-crunching by NerdWallet by CNBC, if you put $10,000 in your checking account, at the end of three years, you'll have that same $10,000. A traditional, lowyield savings account will give you about three extra dollars. But a high-yield savings account


will give you $10,475. Now you're talking about some real money, and it only goes up from there. Leave that $10,000 in the account for five years, and you'll have $10,805. And that's at an interest rate of 1.55 percent. Non-traditional banks like PurePoint offer higher yields, reaching more than 2 percent. That's a good chunk of change. "A good first step is to check your APY, which according to our research more than half of Americans don't know," Habis says. "If you're not earning at least one percent, you're doing yourself a disservice." Put that money in a CD, and you'll earn even more. Now, your money is working for you, not against you, like debt, inflation and credit card interest rates. The solution? The old-fashioned notion of saving for a rainy day has been streamlined by ultra-modern financial technology. Online financial institutions like PurePoint, which is a hybrid digital bank with brick-and-mortar financial centers, are offering more competitive interest rates for high-yield savings and CD accounts than traditional banks, nearing the 2 percent mark. It's an alternative to investing that you can trust with a knowable, controlled return over the short or long-term. It's almost like investing in the stock market, but with a controlled and knowable return.

Debra Myers Why I do what I do all from home. Hello, My name is Debra Myers and I would like to share my story with you on WHY is started working from home. In October 1998, my oldest daughter was born. Shortly after she turned 1, we found out that she had Cerebral Palsy and she also has epilepsy. In January 2001, our other daughter was born. These two are something else. They keep me on my toes all the time. In 2010, I found out that I had Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Life as we knew it was changed forever. Thing are going GREAT now, 7+ years and still going strong. I have been looking for something to do from home because it's hard to work a full time job when I would get a call from the school telling me that I needed to come get my daughter because she was having seizures. So, I started really looking into a home base business. Then I talked with an friend that I grow up with and she told me that she was working from

home. The business she introduced me too was a true home business that allows me to work from home and make a full time income working part time hours using my laptop or smartphone. It has truly been a life changing business. You will appreciate the fact that anyone no matter where you live, what experience you have you can make an income with this business. I would love to speak with you personally. Fill out the form below and I will personally call you and give you additional info about what I do all from home. The information is free to receive. Thank you for reading my story and I look forward to talking with you soon.

This stress relief product sounded just like something Judy needed. She has experienced many ups and downs in her life, including a twin grandson with leukemia, the death of her precious four year old grandson, and a serious wreck on an interstate highway when an 18 wheel truck pulled into her auto, projected her car into the air in front of it, and then came back to hit her again. She witnessed the truck coming directly at the driver’s side of her car and could only pray. The patrolman told her she should have flipped many times and it was a miracle she was alive. She experienced PTSD from this and has continued to be bothered with big trucks on the highway but recently discovered on a trip to FL that her anxiety has almost disappeared on the highway.

5 ways to get financially fit this new year

(BPT) - In 2019, many Americans are planning for a “better me” in the year ahead. Gym memberships and diets are at the top of many lists, but what about financial health? Losing debt can be just as important as losing pounds, and financial fitness just as important as physical fitness. According to a new survey from Marcus by Goldman Sachs(R), 74 percent of Americans think their financial well-being has an impact on their overall health and 64 percent feel they are not in the best financial shape they could be. On top of that, half of those surveyed (50 percent) think it’s easier to get into better physical shape than financial shape and 59 percent consider tracking expenses and budgeting to be more stressful than trying a new workout. Although New Year’s resolutions to improve financial fitness may seem daunting, they are achievable, and their effects can be significant. While it is important to pump iron and feel great physically, it is equally beneficial to pump up your savings and take steps to secure your financial future. Here are five simple ways to help achieve better financial fitness in 2019:

2. Set a realistic budget: Every financial fitness plan should start by establishing a budget that is both effective and achievable. The first step in creating one is to identify your essentials like mortgage or rent, car payments, tuition loans — and determine how much each of these expenses cost you per month. Next, average your spending in key categories that occur on an ongoing basis, such as food, gas, clothing, commuting costs and your gym membership. Combine those two figures to determine what your actual expenses and monthly budget are, and any money left over can be considered discretionary. Part of each month’s discre-

Goodbye spring cleaning, hello winter refresh! Four home improvement updates to take your home from drab to fab (BPT) - Every year, homeowners anxiously await spring to refresh and reset their homes. But what if we capitalized on all the time spent indoors during winter to take control of home improvements ahead of time instead? With a little thoughtful planning, you'll not only be able to give your space a simple face lift but also enjoy spring when it comes around and be outside, soaking up the weather! Many homeowners agree that the colder months are the perfect time to cross home improvement projects off the list, feeling more motivated to work on them during this time of year, according to a new survey (online survey conducted in September, 2018, of 1,000 U.S. homeowners, ages 18+, in partnership with Lucid, on behalf of Maytag). A whopping 78 percent of homeowners plan to make some type of home improvement in the next three to six months and young homeowners are even more motivated, with 87 percent of millennials planning to give their spaces some tender loving care during the same time frame. Simple updates with big impact Enhancing your home’s value and functionality does not require a full-blown remodel. Strategic updates can make a significant impact and can be completed in just a few days. Consider these smart, no sweat home updates while staying cozy indoors.

Upgrade appliances: Dated appliances can steal from a space's potential; a simple swap can completely transform the aesthetic of a room, taking it from vintage to polished in a snap. Thanks to Maytag, you don’t have to sacrifice function for style. Whether you’re partial to French door or side-byside refrigerators, front load or top load washers, explore sleek options at www.maytag.com. With a

few thoughtful changes, you have the power to turn your home into the space you’ve always dreamed of. Declutter: While you may not be ready to jump on the minimalist band wagon, be inspired by the movement and remove unnecessary items from your home. Donate or sell trinkets and gadgets you don't use and focus on organizing what’s left. Con-


sider storage solutions like closet organizers and kitchen pull-outs that make organization seamless. There’s no greater joy than coming home to a clean, tidy and truly clutter-free space.

Brushed metals have maintained popularity, and brass is poised to make a comeback. Other materials like wood and glass are popular for hardware, too.

Fresh paint: A fresh coat of paint is an affordable update for any room, and with a little elbow grease, you can easily complete this project in a weekend. Whether you paint all the walls in your bedroom or just one to create a focal wall, you can customize this project to your personal tastes and preferences. While you're at it, why not paint the ceiling too? A fresh coat of white paint can instantly elevate a space by better reflecting light.

Whether you love it or can’t get through it quickly enough, winter is a perfect time to take on home improvements that are simple and achievable; about three in four homeowners would rather complete home renovations during the fall and winter so they can travel in the spring and summer. With these handy tips, you have the knowledge and power to rejuvenate your home and make this winter a productive one. Update now, so you can relax later!

Replace hardware: The kitchen and bathrooms are typically the most frequented rooms in a home. The hardware in these spaces might seem like an afterthought, but if you want to add a little pizzazz with minimal effort, focus here. Styles go in and out of fashion and hardware becomes drab with everyday wear and tear. Replace knobs, handles and hooks with a new look that reflects your personality.

How women business owners cracked the glass ceiling (BPT) - Today there are nearly 12 million women-owned small businesses in the United States that generate almost $1.7 trillion in revenues. But 30 years ago, it wasn’t the same story — these business owners’ financial futures could have been out of their hands due to sexist lending practices, incomplete government data and limited advocacy on their behalf. In 1988, women owned just 4.1 million businesses in the U.S — which may have been partially because acquiring financing was so difficult. Up until 1988, lenders could require women business owners seeking Kate Lester, owner of Kate Lester Interiors, took out a small business loan through Funding Circle financing to have a male cosigner. This shocking and unfair practice made it difficult for women business owners to get the funding they needed to grow — limiting their ability to do everything from open a new location to make payroll or even just refinance other debt. In the 1980s, the Small Business Administration released a report that mistakenly claimed almost all women-owned businesses were That all changed with the passage of H.R. 5050, also known as the Women’s Business Ownership Act of 1988. This legislation is consid- home-based and had sales of under $10,000 per year — largely because data to the contrary wasn’t available. Knowing this to be a ered a landmark for women in business, changing the landscape of factually misleading report, the National Association of Women business financing for women in the United States forever. Business Owners’ then-president, Gillian Rudd, held a press conferH.R. 5050 went on to shape the future of women and business in ence on the steps of the U.S. Capitol to publicly call out the misguidthree critical ways: ed report, which kicked off the call for H.R. 5050. With the belief It banned lenders from requiring a male cosigner. that knowledge is power, this bill mandated that the government One of the many witnesses to the H.R. 5050 hearings was a woman collect more complete information on the state of women-owned who didn’t have a husband, father or brother available — so she had businesses. to ask her 17-year-old son to cosign a business loan for her, which sadly was not an unusual story. By making this practice illegal, the bill helped level the playing field for women in business. It created the National Women’s Business Council. This council was established as an independent and nonpartisan federal advisory council. Today, it advises on issues of impact and interest to women business owners by providing data and research to the White House, Congress, the Small Business Administration and the public. It required the U.S. census to track women-owned C-corporations when reporting data.

Together, these pillars helped pave the road for women business owners — and over the past 15 years alone, women-owned enterprises have grown 1.5 times faster than other small enterprises. Access to capital is crucial for any business, and this legislation helped evolve long-outdated practices and beliefs that unfairly favored men. In recent years, online lending platforms like Funding Circle are helping to create opportunities for all. There still may be miles to go in continuing to equalize credit opportunity for everyone, but this significant step in women’s business history is surely worthy of celebration.
