My brother-in-law has been working really hard for the last couple of years to get in shape and lose weight. He has competed in several half triathlons doing the biking, swimming, and running. With all of his working out he was unable to lose any weight. My loving sister told him that if he was going to do this she wanted to have him get a complete physical with a "bill of good health" behind him. After doing some blood work they found out that he had very high cortisol levels. Cortisol is a stress hormone that can become elevated when exposed to constant or chronic stress that causes the accumulation of fat around the stomach, hips, and thighs.
We saw them the following week and introduced them to doTERRA and the trim skakes-complete with the oshwaganda root that specifically targets high cortisol levels! What a wonderful miracle for them. To make a long story short. He started drinking the shakes daily with the Slim N Sassy. I just talked to my sister the other day and in the last month he has lost 12 lbs!! Not just water, but fat pounds!! Hooray. She said that when she hugs him she can tell that part of him is missing :) Hooray for the doTERRA Trim Shakes!!
Here are some great recipes that I found to use with the shakes.
