I am so sick of these people talking crap about coffee. I drink coffee with a little protein powder every single day and I will continue doing it probably until I die because I love it so much lol. Also, my favorite food is Italian sausage with peppers. Or almost any Italian food lol.

Honestly, about a couple months ago, I started making roasted broccoli with garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and sea salt. It is amazing and I eat it almost every day. Also, love some sweet potatoes and of course dark chocolate :) On a side note, thank you for calling out people who talk crap about coffee. It drives me insane at how people label it "bad." I thought at first it was the caffeine they were labeling, but since caffeine is in their diet drinks, I have no idea why they are coffee haters.

@moorgykaycee_ 3 года назад

I personally use Plexus and have had AMAZING results. Diseases such as anxiety and depression which I’ve had, can stem from the gut. My anxiety has severely improved. Also, if someone reaches out to anyone distributing Plexus, they will tell you: you MUST drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water, and strongly encourage a look at your diet as a more whole diet you are on the better/quicker you will see results. In terms of weight loss, candida overgrowth is a legitimate thing. I have not stepped foot on a scale in 6 months and yet am so much thinner. I don’t care what my weight is because I have lost inches of inflammation caused by my gut being imbalanced. The scientist for plexus is the former scientist for NASA. His SOUL job was to keep astronauts safe and healthy AND their immediate families healthy for 23 years.

@PC4ever Год назад

I appreciate your honest opinion. I think it's more genuine than most of the plexus videos out where the "ambassadors" are just trying to sell these products. I don't really trust it, it's an MLM type of business, which seems fishy to me.

My favorite food is asparagus! Truly, I could eat it every day and never tire of it - especially cooked in a cast iron skillet with a little butter and avocado oil and sprinkled with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Seriously to die for!

@dietitiankat 3 года назад

@amypetersen1668 8 месяцев назад

I love asparagus too! We eat it roasted with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Maybe sprinkle with Parmesan once it comes out! Yum!! My whole family loves it, even my teenager who has liked it from the start when many kids won’t touch it. I loved it as a kid too, even though my mom just steamed it. Now she roasts it too and she and my dad love having it! I converted my husband as his grandmother tried to make it for him served in milk (why??) so he wouldn’t eat it and his mom never cooked it. He told me he didn’t like it. When I roasted it, he’s now a convert and loves it!

I'm a Plexus user and have found the products beneficial. The pink drink is a great substitute for coffee because most people add too much sugar and creamers which can make you gain weight and effect your blood sugar; whereas Plexus Pink drink is great alternative. The studies show that if you have a healthy digestive system then your whole body functions better and that's what Plexus Triplex aims to do. I stopped cravings carbs and sugars, I popped frequently and drank more water which made me loose weight. Any distributior will tell you to discuss the products with your healthcare provider and readily share the ingredients. This is a great supplement line!

@veronicareveles9254 3 года назад

I didn’t understand how she didn’t think the coffee replacement wasn’t just for the actual coffee. It’s the other stuff people put in the coffee that they want to steer away from. Starbucks and all their add ins. I don’t think anyone who wants to quit coffee drinks it’s black. Lol.

@dietitiankat 3 года назад

There's a way to still drink coffee, not have sugar added, not be black, and it still be health -supporting. I mentioned thoughts similar to yours in other videos, because that's a valid concern/misunderstanding. Yeah, Starbucks isn't something I'd recommend often, most people I work with are able to make healthier coffee at home.

@dietitiankat 3 года назад

Glad you've have found them beneficial. I don't think it would be as popular if it wasn't beneficial for some at all. It also great that those benefits can be seen with a nutrient-dense, balanced intake with foods we can purchase in normal grocery stores.

@amypetersen1668 8 месяцев назад

@@dietitiankatmy husband cold brews his coffee at home. He drinks it iced since that’s how he likes it. He adds a bit of creamer and no sugar. He likes it that way and he is perfectly healthy. He sometimes gets Starbucks as a treat, but he prefers the brand we buy as it’s roasted right here in our state and it’s fair trade from a single region. He loves it more than any other coffee brand and cold brewing makes it super smooth he tells me (I don’t like coffee, lol). Much better and cheaper to make at home. Sometimes he adds a splash of maple syrup (we live in vermont so it’s the real deal) but usually doesn’t sweeten it. It’s possible to have coffee, not drink it black, and also not have it be a calorie and sugar bomb like Starbucks

I have been ordering plexus for a couple months now. I started for gut health and then I took a month off and noticed a huge difference in what my body was doing on and off plexus. I also take it with a grain of salt. by no means am I "plexus obsessed" lol I don't take it religiously. Im not super strict. I have lean and slim that I rarely take. I have used the active on road trips to get past the mid day slump but also don't take it every day. I have noticed weight loss but nothing drastic and it has come more from intermittent fasting and eating better even though I still eat out 2 meals a day. I wont say it doesn't work but I will say that don't take it and expect it to work like a miracle pill. Remember that everyones body will respond differently and listen to your body. you will know first if something is working or not working.

You need someone who’s knowledgeable and able to help you know how to balance your plexus products. You can’t do plexus according to what the Bottle says. Each person is different and each person’s got health is different. Tracy Brandon is my sponsor and she has been very instrumental in helping me learn how to take my plexus. They are very beneficial supplements but YOUR body will tell you how it feels about what you ingest. You just have to listen to the signs and then report them back to someone who can help you balance your supplements. Even with what the nurse is saying just listing the supplements doesn’t mean you should take them all or exactly as the dosage says each person is different and you have to listen to your body and find someone knowledgeable who knows how you should take it according to the signs you see in your body.

No thank you. Plexus products helped us tremendously.

@dietitiankat 3 года назад

You’re welcome! It’s so frustrating, because there is so much we can do with nutrition instead of defaulting to prescriptions, unfortunately the business structure of MLM takes advantage of this, when there are so many good supplements and nutrition protocols we can do outside of MLM. I’m so glad you’re feeling better! Just as not 100% of people in any profession aren’t great, same goes for the mental field. Psychiatrists is different than therapists - since you mentioned the prescription. Check out those resources! They aren’t my opinions.

I'm so glad to hear you're doing better with it and had a good experience. I am concerned about the statement, "Those who have had success with it are the ones to truly listen to." Unfortunately, if this was the case for anything health-related, we would be in a very scary situation. We need to listen to those who have negative health experiences with supplements, medications, treatments, etc. We also need to be comfortable looking at resources that have information on individual ingredients, as referenced. I would not feel safe living in a country where people who were harmed by a supplement were disregarded because their experience wasn't positive/successful.

@jennifermiller5041 Год назад

Well, you gave an opinion without trying the products. I have taken Plexus now for a year, and it does do all the things they claim.

I'm so grateful for Plexus and will continue to buy their products.

@dietitiankat Год назад

There were opinion parts, however they aligned with evidence. As doctors don't need to personally try all medications before prescribing them to patients, registered dietitians don't need to try supplements to know whether they support them or not. I recommend some herbs to some clients that I personally don't take, but that are evidenced to support their condition. That's how evidence-based practice works. Anecdotal experience is not ethical to place on a population. I'm so glad you have had a good experience 💜

@amypetersen1668 8 месяцев назад

Your son with ADHD focuses well when drinking the pink drink because of the caffeine- it’s a stimulant. My 16 year old has ADHD and focused better when taking a stimulant medication. However, it cause appetite suppression (as stimulants do) and he was already very skinny even when eating a lot. But the medication caused him to be too skinny so we switched him to a non stimulant medication and it works well and he eats like crazy (still skinny- that teenage metabolism is crazy!). Anyways, sometimes he has a latte or some coke and it helps his focus. Children under 18 aren’t supposed to have more than 100 mg of caffeine a day (speeds their heart rate up too much) so I hope you’re checking the amount of caffeine in that pink drink. It probably isn’t harming him but it’s not the fact that it’s a super expensive MLM drink that is helping him, it’s simply the caffeine. You could save your money and get him something that costs a lot less.

It’s typically done at a university and while working with a lab and team, but doesn’t have to be. You have people look over the methods of the research before beginning it, and it goes through quite a bit of work to be accepted into a research publication. I love the idea of research, but it’s just not my passion and would rather pay for membership to research journals and summary publications and then reference to them. All I did was information gather from reputable sources from scientists and other researchers and leave those linked for others to do the same 😊. There’s not really a “certified dietitian” licensure or protected term like that. Please don’t ever feel like you need to watch any video full length! This is your time and energy, but I do appreciate those 15-20 watch time minutes even though they aggravated you. If you’d like to be “serious enough” and do it better, I’d love to support you! 💜

@@dietitiankat thank you for your prompt response. I have a 73 year old sister who has pulmonary fibrosis and in constant use of a nebulizer. She started using this product and has not used her nebulizer in 2 weeks. Her husband has Párkinson and has tremors in his hands. Since starting this product, his tremors have subsided at least 50-60%. My sister would always be constipated and not have bowel movements for a week. She now goes twice a day!

His doctor said his numbers are great and what ever he's doing keep doing it. So i don't know what you are talking about. It also makes me want to eat healthier. I don't crave sugar or carbs like i use to.

So there is only one prebiotic in it and everyone has a completely different microbiome so it may not even be feeding the good bacteria in some people. Not all probiotics are also beneficial for each person. I had so much gas on this. Waaaaay more than normal. And I was constipated more than I’ve ever been in my life and was drinking at least 90 ounces of water a day (I weight 155 lbs). But I was also having diarrhea out of nowhere too. When I said this, the rep told me to take more of the bio cleanse and that this means it’s doing something. I was also not taking some of the things I was taking that were working for me before this because I felt like I was taking in waaay too much of certain minerals.
