Welcome to Day 3 of the Divine Health Summit. It is an honour to be here with Gabrielle Dean.
Gabby, how are you doing?
Awesome, I'm doing so good Benji.
That is great to hear. Hey, I'm going to do the tech stuff in the background for a second,
but why don't you tell us about your fishing adventure this morning, how did it go, where did you go,
what happened and tell us a little bit about your fishing from this morning.
Absolutely. Hi everyone, it's so cool. I know there's people probably all over the world jumping on here,
so I just love technology and I'm so grateful to live in a time where we can do things like this.
I am actually just down the road from Benji, well maybe about a kilometre down the road from Benji,
and we live in the beautiful Tairoa.
We live in the beautiful...
Oh, I can hear my echo. Tairoa in the Coromandel Peninsula of New Zealand.
As you can see, I can see the ocean from my place and we love fishing.
My partner and me are big into fishing and we went last night, so we catch live baits, catch mackerel.
Caught them last night, we had them in like a little tank on the wharf,
so they're like pretty ready for this morning to get up early, go out and fish and catch beautiful fresh fish for dinner.
We did everything, we got a brand new boat, well not second hand, but new for us, just a couple of months ago,
so we're absolutely pumped to take it out and this morning we were out there for,
must have been about seven hours and not one single bite.
So no fresh fish for dinner, but as I said to Benji earlier, you know what, it will make...
It's days like today that, and the conditions are perfect, everything was perfect,
the fish just weren't there. And it's days like today that will make the days where we do catch fish so much more special, right?
You win some, you lose some.
Yeah. Well, it is such an honour to have you with us and everything's going good on the tech side,
we're streaming, we've got the crew jumping on board.
Hey, as you jump on live, let us know how you're doing.
Let us know where you are jumping on from, where you are in the world and also give us a little shout out,
let us know what is, what's been valuable for you so far in the Health Summit.
It's been just a delight having so many amazing people.
We've had Jana and Professor Robin and Matt Lansdowne and Ronnie Curtis yesterday was fantastic.
And now we have the delight of having Gabrielle Dean with us.
I call her Gabby. And we've got some really cool stories for you guys today about transformation.
And we're going to be talking about how to master energy and exercise and nutrition and how that all works together to create a real synergy in our health.
That is just getting us really excited and lit up about what's happening in our health.
So I'm going to pray for us to kick off.
And then I think I'm going to have to open a door because I'm overheating in my little office.
Pretty exciting topic Benji, I don't blame you. I'm outside as well.
So I'm going to pray and then I'm going to open up the door and just cool things down a bit in here.
Papa, Jesus, Holy Spirit, we thank you for this Divine Health Summit.
I thank you for every single person who is here on this adventure together.
I thank you that you created our bodies to be phenomenal, to be amazing.
I thank you for everything that's possible. I thank you for Gabby being with us today.
I thank you for giving us insights today.
And I thank you for really speaking to us specifically, personally about where we're at and giving us the low hanging fruit, giving us real wisdom, giving us real understanding, giving us real clarity and real conviction and real passion in our hearts about our next best step to make for ourselves and our individual journeys towards flourishing and thriving in Divine Health.
In Jesus name. Amen.
Okay, let me open this door, it's getting hot in here.
Awesome. Hi everyone, while Benji's opening the door, I won't let you sit there in awkward silence, don't worry.
And if you're wondering what I was just sipping on just then, this is actually my favorite little Divine Health in a bottle.
This is actually one of my favorite little products.
It's a green tea based all natural energy shot.
And I think I
I think this was the first product they ever gave to Benji at the gym and I said here try one of
these before your workout and and he gave it a crack and absolutely absolutely loved it so
this has been my all-time little favorite and unfortunately I love fishing but guess what I
get a little bit seasick actually I even get seasick on the wharf okay so I actually quite
bad seasick so I was feeling a little seedy earlier but I have my little natural green
tea and adaptogen shot to pick me up for the call so in case you're wondering that's what
I am having right now that's very cool so actually that's a really good point good place to start
because I've been on a like I had a discovery right my discovery is that my body just loves
making fat my body is so good at making fat uh I know I started first started noticing it when
I got married and Alana was just doing this like ultimate wife thing and she was just making this
whole army of muffins for me and I was like yes muffins like going from single guy married guy
now I've got muffins on tap and then after a couple months I realized whoa I gotta calm down
on the muffins like this is not going to be uh you know like a good service and then a little bit
of time went by and you know I started to get a few comments from people because I'm used to being
fit and healthy and I probably to be honest I probably neglected my body for about a decade
and uh and then that started getting real obvious it's like oh wow be putting on some pounds uh and
I was like oh I thought I'd better try and do something about this so I like first thing I did
I started running and I spent a couple of years just in the space of just trying to run and
realize running's doing nothing for me then I got into high intensity workouts and it started making
a bit more progress um but not actually really dealing with the belly fat that I that I was
having and then uh when I moved to a title it was awesome because I got to join this cool gym so
first time I've joined a gym uh at like that really I really got involved in the gym so I've
been involved in the gym and starting to learn more from Gabby and some of the crew there about
actually how to steward the space exercise but then I just started bottoming out on energy and so
I guess Gabby this is where I kind of uh you come into my story in a pretty awesome way as I was
like man I who's this chick and how does she have so much energy because the first time I ever saw
Gabby I was driving to the gym for the first time and I drove past this kind of funny uh lady out
for a run with her you know pushing the pram um out running pushing the pram and then I got to
the gym get ready to you know have the workout and then that lady turned up and it was Gabby
and she was taking the workout so she as a mom with a young like a little baby she runs to the
gym takes the workout session then runs home with the pram and the baby I'm like well what's this
uh I'll talk more about you know like um what happened after I asked Gabby about energy but
she did hook me up with one of those e-shots which started I was like man this is great
but Gabby um obviously I mean for the people probably a good space to start would be if we
introduce people obviously you're own a gym so exercise is a big thing but if we like how people
see the rhythm of your life how often do you generally exercise and what does your world look
like in the space of exercise yeah awesome thanks Benj and um I've got so much to share I just this
is something I'm so passionate about so um have you guys ever heard that saying motion brings
emotion right Tony Robbins says it a lot and he says that moving your body is like your physiology
determines everything your mental state your energy everything is linked right so I um I mean
I grew up on a dairy farm and my parents um you know didn't have a lot of money so I was one of
four kids so we were you know we didn't have a dog it was us kids rounding up the cows so
we've always been very physically active even from a young age and I just carried that through my
life um the main I guess the first time and that's my fiancee Shane by the way I guess the
first time I really began to appreciate exercise and movement was at university so I studied um
at university for six years and sitting down for a long period of time um I needed exercise
exercise as a stress relief and a lot of you guys that are you know probably have quite sedentary
jobs sitting down um that is 100% you know like if that is you you've got to move your body
to change your state and a lot of you know
2022, right, it's a new year.
A lot of people are thinking, new year, big goals.
And I honestly believe no matter what your goals are,
whether it's physical, financial,
whether it's an entrepreneurial goal,
spiritual, whatever your goals are,
it starts inside you, right?
If you don't have that zest for life and that energy,
then you're probably not gonna go out
and achieve these goals.
So I believe that fueling your body
is essential for any entrepreneur, right?
Anyone who wants to get out and do things,
fueling your body with the right stuff.
And I believe the nutrition comes before the exercise
because if like Benji was saying,
if you don't have any energy,
you're not gonna, oh, let's go out and go for a run,
are you?
You find every excuse in the book to, oh, the dishes,
oh, you know, because your body is just lacking.
And once you have a fuel your body with the good stuff,
then you'll have the energy to get out and train.
Now, one really common misconception about nutrition
is that like the system I use, right?
These products, which I love and I share with Benji,
they are not actually magic products.
They're just giving your body what it needs.
What we don't realize, there's no magic in these products.
Your body is the magic, okay?
But the problem is how Benji was sharing,
he ate heaps of muffins.
The Western, a lot of the Western diet,
the diet that we think is normal food
is actually really, really hard for our body
to utilize as a fuel and as energy.
And this is a concept I learned
when I first got into nutrition,
was that calories, right?
You think about a calorie, what is a calorie?
A kilojoule?
Calories are energy.
So how come when you eat a whole pizza
that's got a thousand calories,
why aren't you like jumping from the rooftops
to run a marathon?
Instead, you're like lethargic and you feel heavy
because the calorie in the pizza,
the pizza doesn't have the nutrition,
the nutrients and minerals
that allow your body to unlock the energy.
That's the problem.
And that's what so many people are missing.
It's the nutrition, all those nutrients
and minerals and live enzymes
that allow our body to unlock the energy
from the food we eat.
So it's not that, you know,
these products and the system
which we're talking about really today
that I love and recommend,
it's not magic.
But what it's helping you to do
is balance out our Western diet,
which is often not things that,
not fueling us to thrive.
It's helping us balance that out
and helping our body to unlock the energy
from the calories that we're eating.
That's why when you have good nutrition,
you feel alive and you thrive.
It's because you're actually able to utilize
the energy from the foods that you're eating.
So Benji eating all the muffins,
there's nothing wrong with that.
And in our Western world,
we see muffins and cakes and things as a treat.
But unfortunately, it's kind of a punishment for our body.
But it's okay to have that balance,
but you've also got to nourish your body
with the good stuff,
just like with your mind.
You've got to nourish your body, mind and soul
with the balance of the good stuff.
Yeah, primo.
What I'd love to do,
just always love hearing people's stories
and hearing their journeys.
And we're going to see some really exceptional,
transformational stories in a moment.
But what I'd like to do, Gabby,
is just maybe go back in time for a little bit,
back in the days when you were an accountant,
kind of in that corporate rat race,
climbing a ladder, hustling.
And just where was,
but this is really before you were a gym owner,
you were still working out, hey,
like in those days,
you were still exercising quite a bit.
But I just,
what I love about the Health Summit
is we're really getting a really cool,
deep dive into people's rhythm,
into the rhythm of their life,
into what changed around the holistic rhythm of life
to unlock new levels of life,
to actually start that process of divine health,
being able to blossom in our lives.
So give me a picture of workload,
stress load, rhythm of life,
back in the days when you were an accountant.
Was it in Perth?
Yeah, correct.
So that's how,
growing up on a farm,
my parents said,
whatever you do with your life,
as a woman,
you wanna be a doctor or a lawyer or an accountant
to make heaps of money.
So bless them,
they always had our best intentions at heart.
They didn't want us to struggle financially.
how they had. So I became an accountant, a chartered accountant and started my career in
Auckland, then Sydney, then Perth. I was working for a big chartered accountant firm called Ernst
& Young. It's a global company. And it was, I was an auditor, okay? So I was auditing
specifically oil and gas companies in Western Australia. And I'd worked my way up the corporate
ladder pretty quickly. So I was in a management role at about 27, 28 years old. High, high stress
environment, high stress environment. I loved exercise. That was my stress relief. So I'd run
to work and run home, which typically ended up me running about 20 to 30 kilometres a day to work
and home. And, but that, that's what I, I loved, you know, people are, I'll give you a ride. I was
like, no, thanks. This is my release, you know, moving my body at the end of the day. Cause
you're sitting down at a desk for, you know, 15 hours a day. You need that exercise. So my rhythm
was waking up as soon as I woke up, I had to have a coffee. I literally had the espresso coffee
machine beside my bed. I'd wake up, my alarm would go off. I'd go, alarm, espresso. So I had an
espresso shot to get me up out of bed. And then I'd have another coffee before I'd get up, get
ready, have another espresso shot, and then I'd run to work. So I was very reliant on caffeine to
get me to work. Then I'd run to work, sit down all day. And then by the end of the day, you know,
have another, probably three or four coffees over the day. And then after work, run home. And yeah,
I was eating, I was eating just for our crew out there, for those who are out there watching,
how many, like, what's your, what's your normal, like, are you in terms of coffees? Let me know
if you're drinking coffees, how many, what's your normal? So just let us know there in the comments,
what's your normal in terms of coffee intake? Do you drink no coffee, coffees, a bunch of coffees,
or do you have some other go-to pick-me-up? Like, what are you, whether it's a, like, a positive,
or whether it's, you know, something you think, oh, this is not a good thing. Let me know what's
your kind of go-to if you need a bit of an energy spike. Let us know in the comments.
Righto, Gabby, back to you. And then, because I was living in Perth, Western Australia, and it was
so hot, 40 degrees at some times, I would go to the energy drinks from the, like, the V and the Mother
energy drink, Red Bull. So that, I was just living on caffeine. Wow. So I was, I was doing a lot
of exercise, like, running 20, 30 kilometer days. I was very fit, but I actually didn't look fit.
I just looked, you would never look at me and be like, wow, she's fit. But I was doing marathons,
triathlons. I was very fit, but I looked kind of a bit, bit podgy, you know. And I couldn't figure
it out. I'm like, where am I going wrong? I'm exercising so much. I'm not really eating that
much. Yeah. Where am I going wrong? And so I guess what I didn't realize is that my lifestyle was
extremely strenuous on my nervous system. Like the cortisol, which is your stress hormone in your
body. Well, I was always stressed out, very high stress environment. And, and I know right now,
right now is a high stress time for virtually the whole world. And people don't realize that
stress can turn your body acidic faster than anything else. And, and we all know that we,
we want to an alkaline body, you know, to live in a slightly alkaline state. And that's optimal
for health, for our immune system, for disease resistance, everything, but stress will turn your
body acidic faster, even faster than acidic foods. And, and I was, my rhythm was, and everyone's
funny. Like if anyone ever asked me, do you have any problems sleeping? I was like, oh, no way. Like
I would just sit down and be asleep because I was so burnt out. And then again, my alarm would go
off, espresso, espresso. So the rhythm of my life was, you know, really that fight or flight mode,
my body was high stress job, get there, go to exercise, need energy, pick me up. And to be
honest so I was in Perth and you know, I hit 30 and I really started thinking to, to be honest,
I didn't start thinking I was just in the rat race. I don't know if any of you guys ever felt
like that. Like you're just going through the motions and people go, what are your goals? And
you're like, what do you mean? I'm just stuck trying to make, I'm just trying to make it to
tomorrow. You can't even have that foresight of thinking big, right? When you're just in that
struggle. And that was definitely where I was at. So similar to Benji.
the game changer for you? What was the awakening? We all seem to have like these moments where
things go oh I've got to really like change this up. We talked about it with Rani yesterday,
she's a naturopath and Curtis was after she had discovered she had a nine centimeter cyst on her
ovary and the doctor said she needed surgery. She found out about it because she had crippling
pain that put her in hospital and it wasn't until the second time that she got just completely
taken out that she had that realisation like oh man things have to change. What was it for you
that you're kind of like oh man something's not working here I've got to change and I better take
some massive action? Okay so that's such a great question I'm so glad you asked it. No one's ever
me in that way which is so cool. So first things first, one day a week I would go on social media.
Remember I was working you know up to eight six days a week. So Sunday, one day off, I'd do my
washing, get my groceries, try and have you know I was single at the time, try and find a boyfriend,
get you know all these things crammed into one day a week. Anyway yeah yeah on that Sunday,
my rest day, I was on social media and I saw my girlfriend post her transformation. Posted
before and after photo and I was like wow you look amazing what are you doing? Anyway I was pretty
sceptical she said I'm doing this holistic natural nutrition system try it and I was like oh no no
because I was already eating pretty healthy and already exercising so I wasn't open to it but
anyway you know a couple of months went by she was looking amazing I met her for a coffee and
she was just glowing and I just thought all right whatever you're doing I'm keen. So I jumped on
board the Isagenix products and I had it's so funny because I honestly like within this one
part of the system which is cleansing right which is about really nourishing your liver and your
kidney and helping them do their natural detox process yeah and it was probably after my first
cleanse day I honestly felt like a light switch had turned on in my body it was it was it sounds
a little bit crazy but I feel like it was like an awakening and then it was a Monday it was a Monday
and I was at work and I did my cleanse on a Sunday and the day after I was on a Monday at work and
I remember I just looked out the window and I looked around and I was like I always envisioned
my life to be so much cooler than this so much more than this you know I literally sit in this
box in this office doing something that doesn't really light me up for money 90% of my life
what am I doing you know and it's funny because I honestly believe without the clarity and
and the you know the the mental clarity to even have that awareness I've just been working this
job for eight years never even questioned it never even questioned if that was what I wanted to do
with my life all of a sudden I start nourishing my body I start thinking clearly um and I had this
like is this really what I you know I'm 30 I'm single spending my whole life in this office
and I just thought what am I going to be remembered for if I spend the rest of my life
here doing this yeah I'll be remembered as an incredible employee who literally gave a whole
life to this company but what am I that's not the legacy I want to leave yeah and that was probably
my awakening point but then it wasn't really I didn't really know what to do it's like well what
am I going to do about that and so I was already using the products and people at work had seen
the changes in me over the next couple of months and they were like wow you're looking amazing
my energy was up um you know I began to look fit and they're like what are you doing I was like I've
they're like wow how how much are you how many k's are you running now you're looking so fit and
I was like actually I'm running a little bit less but I'm doing I'm using this incredible holistic
nutrition system I love it and then the real big clincher for me was that the girl who introduced
me said come along um to this event and find out more about the the ice genics opportunity and I
knew that the products were amazing I knew they were phenomenal from my own results I went along
and learned about the opportunity to help not just myself feel great but help other people feel great
and I thought well of course that's a no-brainer but you know she said that the the number of
people you can introduce and the amount you can earn is unlimited but of course I still had that
self-limiting belief like this is amazing but as if I could do it like I'm an accountant from a farm
in New Zealand like come on
But something really crazy happened and I'll never like it's it's so weird when you think back
there was a big fire on my family farm back home in New Zealand a really bad fire that
the implement shed burnt down and my dad had a hundred and twenty calves in there and all of them apart from four
Died and my dad was trying to save the calves and he got four of them out
But they were all blind from the smoke and were all badly burnt and my dad got badly burnt right in the fire
And so I got this call. I was at work. My mum rang up. Gabby, you've got to come home
There's been a big fire and and dad's in hospital and you know, my mum's having a breakdown
And I was like, oh my gosh, I turned around to my boss and I said look I've got to go home New Zealand
There's a big been a tragedy
My dad's been injured and they said we can't let you go like you're the head on this big client
And you know, we can't let you go
And I was just like well if I have to quit this has to be my resignation then so be it I'm gone
I'm on the next flight back. I've got to go help my family. I didn't pack up any of my equip my flat anything
I just said I've resigned
And quit my job and left. I thought that you know in the back of my mind
I thought I'll be back or they'll beg me to come back
Go home to New Zealand and spent the next three months just helping my family pick things back up
I was milking the cows as my dad was in hospital and
brought back to New Zealand and
That's when people started saying wow, you're looking amazing
What are you doing? And I started just naturally sharing isogenic. Oh my gosh
I was at mom and dad, especially my parents mom and dad. First thing you need to do is get on isogenics
I bought them a pack each. My mom was stressed crazy
My dad was recovering got them on the products got my whole family on the products started sharing it
Just naturally because I wanted everyone to feel good and then I started earning a bit of income
And I was like, oh my goodness
This is how
This is my purpose. This is what I need to do with my life
I'm meant to share this and help people get healthy and be my own boss and like I felt so lit up and
Appreciated and you'll see some of the results. I'm about to show you
When people say to you like Benji when he sent me his 60-day photos and it was like, oh my god
This is crazy
It's so rewarding and so fulfilling and so I just and so from then on I just built isogenics
I never actually went back to Perth. I
Messaged my flatmates and said oh you can just sell my stuff. I'm not coming back and they're like what the heck
So isn't it crazy when at the time when that fire happened?
It was the worst thing I was how is this happening? Why is this happening? This is horrible, but then when I look back
That changed the course of my life forever in the most beautiful way
yeah, and and that was really I guess my defining moment as when I found out that this is my purpose in this lifetime is
To help people with this amazing nutrition
And if it wasn't for that, I think the pool was trying to get me out of that job
Get me out of that job, but it wasn't strong enough until it was like, okay, here's a fire
Well, let's get you out of the job and with us. Yeah, you're on your right purpose your path
That's a pretty beautiful like I said your divine appointment this moment we like all things change
So for our crew who's out there watching?
be cool for you guys just
Drop in the comments if you've had one of those moments where like I call it a blessing in the blind side
Yeah, where you felt like life just blindsided you and then out of the blind side something just opened up feel like oh, man this
this
You know what looked like a total blindside what looked like it was a slap
Crazy chaos moment actually opened up the next stage of your life and something phenomenal
so let me know if you know like drop in the comments some of those moments that you've had where you got blindsided just like
opened it up to
something beautiful and
So get me as well like your
Energy levels
I really want to like
highlight three things here for people in this session is like
Because the thing that really stood out to me when I meet you, you know
You're saying like oh, well people like so you look amazing and it was pretty obvious and you looked fantastic
But being not you didn't just look amazing and really fit. Oh, man
This lady has a whole nother level of energy that I'm really not used to seeing
so, you know before you jumped on the products in like
This is a really big factor and you know
Professor Robins been talking about this Yana's been talking about this Ronnie's been talking about this
everyone has been talking about the fact that
we have to go on a journey of transition and that our nutrition is so critical,
it's such a critical part of the journey of the process. But for you, let's talk about energy
levels. What have you noticed with your energy levels? Where are you at now with your coffees,
your Red Bulls, your mothers, your bees? What shifted for you from then until now?
Wow, let's just say I wake up feeling alive. I wake up, I'm not, I used to battle that alarm
clock, 6-0-1, 6-0-3, 6-0-5, 6-0-7, you know? And I'm breastfeeding at the moment. I'm a breastfeeding
mom. I've got a 15-month-old baby. So I'm up maybe four or five times in the night.
I instruct at the gym over the summer, at least one, sometimes two classes per day at the gym.
I, and I feel amazing. It's seriously so cool. And it's hard to describe. And that's why I
encourage people, like if you don't change anything, nothing changes. Don't be afraid
to make a change. And then, cause I mean, I could talk for hours about these incredible products,
but rather than listening to me, I say, listen to your body. Your body will tell you straight
away, oh, this is good stuff. And for me now, there's no mothers, there's no Red Bulls. There's
no, none of that stuff. You still love a bit of coffee? I do, but at the moment it's too hot. In
the winter time, yes. But we have a coffee machine here. We've got a house warming present. I think
I last made a coffee, maybe about a week ago. Yeah. For me, I much prefer these. As you saw,
I had one just before. This is green tea. So yes, it's a source of caffeine,
but it's really gentle. It's a really gentle, slow release caffeine. And it's also got adaptogens in
it. So, you know, I was talking about stress before. So stress is a huge drainer on your
energy levels. And these got adaptogens, which is herbs that, you know, live in very harsh
environments like the desert. And they've got these adaptogenic abilities that help them adapt
to flood, to stressful environments. And they are the same things that a lot of athletes use
and myself use them. So I believe the, why I have such great energy now is a combination of, yes,
getting rid of all those things that are really hard on your nervous system,
like the really intense caffeine from energy drinks and the stimulants. And also, you know,
giving your body a good natural source of caffeine, but also nourishing your body and allowing,
helping your body unlock the energy from the calories like I was sharing before.
And that is key, but yeah, coffee for me, maybe one a week, but I do have an e-shot before my
workouts. I love smashing those back too. And I think that's going to help us soon. We're going
to, I'm going to already talk about synergy in this process because what happens when you start
actually making these small changes and I love, we're actually going to have Joseph Wilson on
tomorrow and he was really profound in my transformation journey because he said, you know,
just make a five minute change a day. Can you do five minutes of exercise in a day? Can you make a
small change? And every small change that we make starts producing synergy. And so, you know,
like you make a small change of cutting back some coffee, make a small change of cutting back some
of those, you know, harsher things, whatever your bias might be, you make a small step in changing
those, but incremental and sustainable, then what starts happening is, and this is what happened
with me, right? Is I was bottoming out, like trying to work harder to try and burn the belly fat,
but treating water. Basically I've been treating water for about five years, working harder. I got,
you know, I kind of, I went from like neglecting my body for about a decade. Okay. I started making
those five minute a day changes, started getting some momentum, like, all right, I'm starting to
work out a bit now. But then I lifted the tempo and even more in the last kind of, you know,
the last couple of years I've really lifted the tempo. But what I found is actually I was like,
I was treating water. I wasn't making progress. And I was starting to bottom out on my energy,
like natural energy reserves that must've been there starting depleting. And I'm like, man,
I'm like needing to be in a scram pound eating naps all the time. It was like, oh man. So what
I noticed, you know, with the transformation is the,
The thing that I was lacking was that energy.
So when I started jumping on board
with the Isagenix products, which is really, guys,
whether it's Isagenix for you or it's another thing,
it's about making a change in your nutrition
that's gonna actually flood your body with energy,
flood your body with what it really needs.
And I knew that the day that I started taking Isagenix,
I could feel my energy replenishing.
And then, you know, like within a week,
I could start seeing, oh, here you go,
here's a picture, yeah.
So within a week, I could start,
this is the Undie Picks.
Within a week, I could start feeling,
you know, there was just tangible change.
So this is my day one photo here that Gabby's got up.
This is day one when I started the Isagenix products.
So I was working out really hard still to get there,
and that was kind of where I was treating water,
not making much food or, you know,
like working really hard just to stay there.
And then the energy started coming.
And then not just the energy, I started to see results.
And you start just hitting this place of synergy,
you're like, oh, wow, I'm so stoked.
You know, like I'm actually making progress
with my journey, I'm feeling alive,
and then I'm getting results.
So it just like starts spiraling, like the synergy,
I just call it that synergy and health.
It starts really coming alive,
and it means that, you know,
I've got more energy to work out,
I'm like, I'm hungrier, and like,
that's the thing as well,
when you start making positive transformation,
you start hungering for the positive.
You know, when you get, you're in that,
stuck in that rut of coffees and things like that,
you hunger for what you're feeding on.
But when you change that diet to something positive,
you start hungering for what you're feeding,
and you start hungering, man,
I can't wait to get to the next workout.
Your recovery is faster.
Man, I can't wait to like,
like even just like the, you know, junk, like snacking,
my snacking just went, like,
cut the snacking down like crazy
because I was feeling full from the smoothies
and things like that.
But you just start seeing this momentum
really coming on your life.
You start seeing the synergy, it's like,
oh, cool, like, I don't want to eat that junk anymore.
And I feel like that's just changed so much.
So, Gabby, why don't you show us
some of these pics that you've got here
and tell us some of these stories of transforming.
Absolutely.
So the photos you can see here are Benji's 60 days
using the system.
And you can see that, yeah,
like I love what he said that, you know,
changing something small each day.
So what Benji's doing each day is literally,
so either staying when you're morning,
when you're day, right?
And by making a really cool morning ritual or regime,
you know, it's like, think about an airplane, right?
If that airplane sets its GPS 0.00001 degree off,
it's going to end up in a completely different place.
But if it sits at just 0.001 degree, you know,
on the right direction every day,
it ends up in a completely different position.
That's what this is about.
You know, I don't know if you've read that book,
The Compound Effect,
but that's exactly what this is about.
So, you know, starting each day with a nutritious smoothie
with everything that you need to really nourish your body,
that's what happens.
And see how you can see,
Benji was talking about the belly fat.
That isn't necessary.
Belly fat is such an interesting one
because often it can be more linked to cortisol
and stress limits and your gut health
than actually what you're potentially eating
for your body to store fat right there.
So this adaptogen type-
Cortisol stores in your body as belly fat,
but your body doesn't naturally detox cortisol.
You have to do something specifically to detox cortisol.
If you don't detox cortisol,
it'll just sit there like that and build as belly fat.
Yeah, so that's where the adaptogen tonic comes in.
I have this every single morning
and it's helping my body to regulate that stress hormone.
And that's, you know, I was exactly like Benji.
I had a lot of just that little spare tire, I call it.
So yeah, Benji's results are amazing,
but the cool thing is he sees maintaining muscle mass.
That's the real amazing part about,
you know, thriving in your body.
I'm just gonna share a couple more results.
I wasn't, when it, in terms of exercising
and moving my body,
in this, like in this first one,
where I was at, I was exercising to beyond my peak.
I was exercising to the point of where I was like,
getting exhausted.
And then what happened when I jumped on
and changed my nutrition.
And right now I'm not even close.
I'm like, my recovery is faster.
I'm craving exercise.
I'm like, man, I can't get enough.
I've done a workout this morning and I'm like, man, I actually really want to go and do another
one.
I probably won't because I'll balance things out with family time, but I'm like, oh man,
I'm like, I'm ready to go.
That's exactly it.
And that's when you know you're thriving.
And think about it.
As human beings, we're hunter gatherers.
You were meant to be wanting to get out there and do things and get physical.
So that's when you can tell you're thriving is when you're like ready to go for it.
Yeah, anything you want to do, you do it without feeling a bit tired, without the hesitation.
Just a few stories because there's a huge range of results.
This is one of my best friends, Ruby.
She also lives here in Tairoa and hers was all about energy.
So she was exactly like me, always trained, but just wasn't having the right nutrition.
She's now a mom as well because it's a month old baby.
This is Joe.
This is Ruby's fiance.
They run the Tairoa campground together.
Again, he was a rugby player, played rugby with my fiance, Shane, physical guy, but again,
just holding onto that extra belly fat, which is amazing.
This is Kia.
So she started when she was really young, I think 18.
So drinking quite a lot of alcohol and maybe not eating right.
And you can just see the change in nutrition has just totally helped take away all that
inflammation around her body and give her amazing energy.
This is my partner, Shane.
Can't really see the after photo that great, but for him, it's about gaining lean muscle.
So he's always played rugby.
He's been the captain of the rugby team here for years and years and years, but he struggled
to sleep.
He has a really, he was always awake in the night, struggled to sleep.
So of course I got him on the adaptogens, help him get a great night's sleep, help him
recover faster.
And then finally he was able to see results from his training.
So a lot of people are doing all the training they need and they're just not getting the
results because they're lacking that nutrition.
So that was definitely him.
This is Jeff.
So Jeff is 64, and he is, this was his first 16 weeks using our program.
He is an absolute weapon.
He just got to a point in his life where the kids are growing up, he'd achieved great things
in his career, and you kind of just get comfortable and start thinking, oh, I'm old now.
So it's just natural to put on weight and get lazy.
And he decided to, you know what, no, I'm not going to live into that story.
I'm going to get back to my prime.
And yeah, 16 weeks later, of course he exercised as well, but what an amazing result.
Rico Gere, he's quite a well-known All Black here in New Zealand.
When he jumped on the products, 30 days, he actually put on a heap of muscle and strength.
His story is really about, yeah, he was like, I was, you know, bench pressing so much more
weights at the gym.
My strength was incredible.
And strength and energy and performance, he really loves that.
This is one of my best friends, Trina.
She's Canadian.
She came and lived with me in New Zealand for a year.
And she had done all these, you know, she was on a weight loss mission.
Her body was really inflamed and she'd tried keto, she'd tried, you know, all these different
things and she tried cutting.
So most people, when they think I want to lose weight, they cut down what they're eating,
right?
They diet.
And unfortunately, when you're already, when your diet is already low in nutrition and
you cut it down even more, your body is essentially starving, you know?
So when she jumped on the board, on board Isagenix, flooded her body with all this nutrition,
started to thrive and naturally got rid of the inflammation, dropped the excess weight.
She looks like a totally different person.
So she's just amazing.
This guy is an absolute weapon.
So his results were two 16 week challenges, which is eight months.
And he's actually from America and he's a truck driver, truck driver at the, you know,
you stop into the truck stop and you get a pie and a Coke and his was just pure diet.
And even though he wasn't, he was on the road for long hours, he didn't have a lot of time
to get to the gym.
He just started cleansing his body and allowing his body to naturally cleanse and fueling
it with good stuff.
And yeah, that's his transformation over eight months.
I mean, you got to feel amazing about that.
It's so awesome, eh?
This is Sarah.
She's a mom of three.
She lives in Christchurch.
And it was her, this was her year, one year results.
So she just used it to really.
get her mojo back.
She lost over 35 kgs.
So amazing.
This is Sophie.
She's a young girl again from Christchurch.
And as you can see,
Benji, me, all of us that weight around the tummy,
that's the first thing,
the first sign of high stress.
High stress is a huge one to cause fat around the tummy.
And that's where the adaptogens and the herbs
and the nutrition really comes into play.
Yeah.
Shelly, mum of three.
I mean, there's so many different results
of all shapes of life.
Skin as well as a huge one.
You know, your outer world
is a reflection of your inner world.
Same thing as your body, your skin,
your hair, your nails, everything.
When you fuel your body with the good stuff,
you won't need, you know, makeup or skincare
or all these things.
Because yourself, grandma was right.
You are what you eat.
So when you have good nutrition,
it definitely shows.
Stefan, his story is really cool actually,
because I remember him saying to me,
he's like, Gabby, you're not gonna lie.
I'm a whiskey man.
And I drink whiskey every night.
Will this system still work?
And I said, well, there's only one way to find out.
Give it a crack.
And so he still had his glass of whiskey,
his nightcap every single night.
That was just his ritual and something he loved.
But he still had amazing results
because he did his smoothies.
He started cleansing and nourishing his body.
And again, this is Jess.
She's from Queenstown, South Island.
Just 16 week transformation.
16 weeks.
And, you know, what I really love is,
oh, here's another one actually,
is you see the look on people's faces
and you could just see they're alive.
They feel alive for the first time, maybe ever.
And that's what I love.
Just looking at people's faces,
especially like, I think Trina's one is really powerful.
I mean, you can see the difference in her face.
She's just glowing.
And I just love that so much.
Some of these people, you wouldn't even recognize them.
No, no, yeah, yeah.
And so, like, I think a lot of people,
when they think about health,
they may be, yes, they think about exercise
and moving their body 100%,
but it starts with nutrition.
Because a lot of people go, right,
I'm going to go on a health kick.
I'm going to get an optimal state.
I'm going to start working out.
But they forget, no, no, no.
First, you've got to start with the nutrition
to give you the energy to work out,
move your body and to get results.
Because that's what's allowing you to repair.
Like even when you're in the gym,
Benji, when you're bench pressing, you know?
So when you're bench pressing,
you're tearing your muscle fibers, right?
You're not building muscle in the gym.
You're building muscle when you're resting.
So you're tearing your muscle fibers.
And then when you're resting, they are rebuilding.
Most people just go tear, repair, tear, repair,
tear, repair, tear, repair.
And they don't get anywhere
because they're not giving their body adequate time
to grow or adequate nutrition.
If you give your body the right nutrition and time,
you're going to go tear, repair, grow, tear, repair, grow,
tear, repair, grow.
And that's where the magic happens.
But it's got to be time, rest, and nutrition.
And a lot of people, they just think,
I'm going to hit, I'm going to get healthy.
I'm just going to hit the gym.
And so they're missing out
on those two other optimal factors.
And of course, repair, sleep.
You've got to have quality sleep,
that deep, recovered, resting state.
And then, and good nutrition, good quality protein,
good amino acids.
I work with a lot of people
that love to live a plant-based lifestyle.
And often people that are vegetarian or vegan
really struggle to get the quantity of leucine.
Leucine's an amino acid that builds lean muscle.
And so, you know, anyone out there,
if you guys are vegetarian or vegan
and you're looking for a way to get incredible protein
and nutrients into your body,
we have an amazing plant-based system.
And the leucine, the amino acid profile of the plant-based
is almost identical to the dairy-based version
of our smoothies.
So that's the amino acid that you want to build lean muscle.
And if you're a woman and you're thinking,
I don't need to build lean muscle, trust me, you do.
You want to build lean muscle.
Your heart is a muscle.
You want a strong heart.
You want a strong arm to live life.
You know, you want to be strong.
And to be strong, you want lean muscle.
And remember, muscle is what burns calories.
So when we eat our food,
our muscles are burning our calories.
The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn,
the higher your metabolic rate, that's what you want.
So I know a lot of women think,
oh, I don't want to get bulky.
You've got to be lifting some serious weights to get bulky, as a woman especially.
But trust me, you want to build lean muscle.
You want to do some weight training.
You want to do some resistance training and get that good nutrition in.
I know for me, recently I got a body scan done, and my body fat is around about 12%
which means I have a lot of lean muscle for a woman, a lot.
And that's a great thing.
You know, most people are like, oh my gosh, like I was way on the high,
but healthy range of muscle for a woman.
And that gives you strength, and that's what you want.
So don't be afraid to build muscle.
I know guys are all about it, which is fantastic.
And guys find it a lot easier to build that muscle with a bit of testosterone.
It helps build muscle easier.
But women too, you know, your heart.
Think about your, as we get older especially, as we age, you know, our strength tends to diminish.
But it doesn't have to.
You can keep that strength.
Keep fueling your body.
Keep doing some resistance training.
It doesn't have to be at a gym.
It can be at home.
But the most important thing is that you've got good nutrients, good amounts of calcium,
good amounts of protein, all those things that keep your body strong,
as well as the micronutrients, you know,
the chromium, selenium, all those little minerals that allow you to thrive as well.
It's awesome, Gabby.
Hey, how about we end this screen share?
That's amazing.
Some amazing transformations there.
And I just want to say as well, I knew for ages that I was in a place
where I needed to change the game up in terms of supplements,
in terms of, you know, just what I was feeding my body.
I knew for ages.
So I've actually been looking for a real long time.
And I'll just say this, because obviously, I'm excited about Isagenix.
I'm like, guys, this worked after treading, you know,
after treading water for like five years and not making any progress.
This worked great for me.
I'm going to share with you in a moment as well,
if you're like keen to get on board and do a trial on Isagenix,
then I'll share with you in a moment a little bit about it.
But I do want to say the focus of this session,
one, I wanted to like really encourage you.
And I want to like picture you,
maybe actually like quickly jump back, like quickly,
Gabby, if you quickly do a screen share,
I'll just be cool just to quickly scroll through something here
that I really love people to catch on this.
Right. We're not really focused on perfection, right?
That's not my goal for people.
But in the process of journeying into divine health,
it's going to be, it's not about perfection,
but it's about transformation.
And I'll say about your body, like God didn't,
God designed your body for optimal performance.
I actually just had this thought, you know, in my mind lately,
like God didn't design us for performance-based identity.
He didn't design us for performance-based acceptance,
but he did design us for optimal performance, right?
Which he designed us for to live with optimal energy.
He designed us to live with optimal strength.
He designed us to live with, yeah, in this place of,
you know, being fit, being fast, being strong, being flexible.
He's designed us for that.
He's designed our bodies for that.
They're phenomenal and a massive part of stewarding our bodies
and walking divine health.
I was actually chatting to Alana about this.
I was like, imagine Adam and Eve, right?
If you picture Adam and Eve, can you imagine,
like if you imagine Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden,
do you picture people who are really overweight?
You know, like, would you be picturing like,
okay, Adam and Eve, there they are in the garden.
And they're like, you know,
like God created them really overweight and struggling.
No, he didn't, right?
And he, your body is designed for optimal performance.
And what I'm hoping you can see
with the transformations here, even if,
can we go up to old mate?
He's like, let me just just quickly,
quickly put through all of them.
Yeah, look at this guy, right?
This is what so many people will accept as their normal.
They're like, okay, cool.
I'm just gonna, this is where I'm at.
And there'll be justifications and excuses
and reasons why this is where you're at.
But your body was designed for optimal health.
Your body was designed for divine health.
Your body was designed for optimal performance.
And with a little bit of stewardship,
and with a bit of wisdom in how you steward your body,
you can make dramatic changes for the positive.
And I just love the fact that, you know,
like testimonies just give hope.
They give that like, oh, wow.
Maybe this could happen for me and even Gabby had this,
I'm not sure what context you were sharing about it before,
but there's this mindset,
like maybe it's possible for other people,
but it's not possible for me.
And I also say to you, it's possible for you,
whatever transformation you want.
And the place where I want to bring us to,
one is an awakening.
Like if I could help you in that process
of having your awakening,
like, okay, it's time for me to take action.
That's what I'd really love.
I'd love for you to come to this place
it's time for me to take some action for my health.
It's time for me to step into optimal health.
It's time for me to step into this place of divine health.
I really want to get into that place.
You have to have an awakening
and you have to have an awakening that,
that so much that it brings you to a place
of taking massive action.
Now that's where I want to kind of finish today.
It doesn't matter what your massive action is.
It's not about comparing to anyone else's massive action.
It's not about looking at any of these pictures
and going, oh man, I wish I was like that person.
It's like, okay, I just want to step into the optimal
that God has for me.
And to do that, I'm going to have to take massive action.
And this is what I want you to be really thinking about
is what's your next best step.
For me, five years ago, it was getting out of a rut
of a decade of neglecting my body and going,
well, I'm going to try and,
I'm going to have to try and start moving my body
five minutes a day.
And I'm really excited to follow on this session
with Joseph Wilson tomorrow at 1130 New Zealand time.
Slight schedule change there, so watch that in the emails.
But 1130 AM New Zealand time tomorrow,
I'll be live with Joseph Wilson.
And he's going to be talking about
the psychology of transformation
and hacking the psychology of transformation
to help you get into that place
where you can take massive action consistently
that produces transformation.
So Gabby, thanks again for all these amazing stories.
And I know that I'm, I mean, it's so cool
because I can say I'm one of these people.
Yeah, woo-hoo.
Yeah, you know, I couldn't be happier
just by changing my nutrition.
Energy levels have gone through the roof.
I'm so stoked as well, in a sense of like,
oh, this is great.
I can actually see the change that I wanted to get
for years.
So thank you.
Can we end that screen share?
Oh, yes.
Yeah, good idea.
And Benji, I just wanted to add one thing
to what you've been sharing,
is you're so right.
You know, our bodies,
God designed our bodies to be perfect, miracles.
I'm just going to angle my camera up a little bit.
And, you know, we're designed to thrive.
And he's done his part.
You know, he's made these beautiful, incredible vessels
that we're able to walk through life,
but we need to do our part as well.
We need to fuel them and really be conscious of,
you know, are we putting our best foot forward?
How, what decisions are we making to enable us to thrive
and live into our purpose?
And it all starts in here.
You know, it really does.
And that's when nutrition plays such a huge part
and is so overlooked by, I think, a lot of people.
And they may think that they have these big divine purposes,
which is incredible.
But honestly, that starts here.
The transformation and achieving that purpose starts here,
starts with that daily rhythm of making good choices
and making a change.
And like Benji said,
it doesn't have, isogenics doesn't have to be your thing,
but about, it's about being conscious
and knowing that it's our job to fuel this.
You know, we've been given this incredible vessel.
It's our job to give it the right stuff
and allow it to function optimally
and put our best foot forward.
Why not?
Why walk through life just average
and sifting and low energy?
Why, when we've been given this incredible vessel?
Yeah, are you going to put in the 91
or are you going to put in the ultra 98?
You know, you know which one runs better.
That's what it's about.
So yeah, thanks so much for having me, Benji.
And thank you everyone for listening.
And I wish you all the greatest success
in your journey to divine health.
This has been so much fun, by the way.
Hey, everybody.
Now, fam, wherever you are,
whether you're joining live or for the replay,
we just have some appreciation for Gabby.
Thank you so much for jumping on for that session.
And thank you for being, you know,
like helping me just change things up in my life
and really helping me to get to a place
which I'm like, I'm just so, so delighted
beyond words to actually have, you know, got to here.
And so I just want to say thank you so much.
And then what will be...
If anyone wants to try out Isagenix, it's pretty simple.
If you want to try that Isagenix,
here's a couple of simple ways that you can get on board.
A cool thing about Isagenix is that Isagenix will let you do a 30-day trial.
You can order one of their systems and if you don't love it,
then they'll just say,
hey, have a 100 percent money back guarantee and keep the product.
It's pretty cool.
I felt like, oh, hey, this is a pretty risk-free invitation that Gabby's saying,
oh, hey, if you want to sort out your energy and your nutrition
and get some different results,
then take a zero-risk trial.
If you don't love it,
just ask for a refund,
get a 100 percent refund and keep the products.
I was like, well, that's a pretty easy offer.
I said, cool.
What I'm just going to say is,
if you want to connect with Gabby and have some one-on-one chat with her
and have her talk to you about your goals
and how you can take the next step towards your personal goals.
It's so cool to be able to chat with Gabby about this whole dynamic of,
okay, what are your goals and what she did with me?
What are you trying to get to?
Where do you want to go?
Then she could recommend the best things in the Isagenix range
to help get me my goals.
That was really helpful.
If you want to do that,
here's a simple way,
a couple of ways you can do that.
You can just drop Isagenix in the comments here
and I'll connect you with Gabby.
I'll connect you in a three-way chat with Gabby.
You can just have a chat with her
and she can make a recommendation
if that's something you want to do.
Or just email support at raisingroyalty.com and say,
can you please connect me with Isagenix
or please connect with Gabby
and we'll hook you up like that.
Then it's nice and simple like that.
Our next session is pretty exciting.
We've got Dr. Robin,
but she's going to be talking about chemicals
and pharmaceuticals and the chaos
that is unfolding on the planet
through chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
We can't stream that on Facebook.
If you want to be part of that session live,
it's going to be in a Zoom room.
You have to be on the email.
Make sure you go to raisingroyalty.com
to get on the email list.
Drop your email address there
and we'll send you the Zoom link to get on that
because that's going to be not available publicly on Facebook.
It will only be available in the Zoom.
Then after that, the replay will only be available
on the Raising Royalty platform.
She's going to go real deep into that stuff.
Then tomorrow at 11.30am New Zealand time,
we've got Joseph Wilson
and we're going to be talking about
how to hack the psychology of transformation.
If there's anything holding you up,
you don't want to miss Joseph Wilson.
He is probably one of the sharpest life coaches in the world.
I absolutely love him
and he's going to be bringing the fire tomorrow.
So Gabby, everyone,
let's just have some more appreciation for Gabby.
Drop on in.
See you next time.
I'd love to hear from as many of you guys as possible
and my passion is really coaching people
and supporting them on this journey.
So I'd love to hear about your individual goals,
make some recommendations,
but then I'll also support you
all the way along your journey to achieve them.
Thanks Benji.
Have an amazing day, everybody.
And again, just drop Isagenix in the comments
or email support at raisingroyalty.com
and say, connect me with Isagenix
or connect me with Gabby
and we'll help you out on that journey.
Other than that, bless you fam
and we'll see you in the live Zoom room
with Professor Robin at 4pm New Zealand time.
That's just under two hours.
See you guys.
Thanks Gabby.
Love you.
Bye.
See you soon.
Bye bye.
