The personal testimonials shared reflect individual experiences of Independent Relv Distributors and are not necessarily typical of the results you may obtain. Relv products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. As with any independent business, success as a Relv Distributor requires a significant amount of hard work and dedication. The individuals featured in this material offer a glimpse into the lifestyle and economic benefits they are enjoying through the Relv opportunity as a result of their own skills and personal effort. These stories are examples only and are not intended as averages or guarantees.

Relv Friends:I had the opportunity to travel throughout the country recently as part of the Relv Freedom Tour. As exhausting as business travel can be, trips to Relv special events never fail to reenergize me. They give me the chance to shake hands with new and excited Distributors, feel the energy in the room firsthand and hear life-changing Relv health and business stories. One of the things that struck me during my most recent travels is how Relv itself is being reenergized. I met countless new Distributors and customers who shared with me their enthusiasm and newfound hope since discovering Relv. People of all generations are looking to get more from life these days, and our company is ideally situated at the intersection of health and wealth. The number of young people I met on the road who are taking control of their health and their financial future was particularly inspiring. It reminded me that Relv is a wellness company in the truest sense of the word our products can benefit anyone. Some of the best stories I heard came from people who simply feel better, have more energy and more productive hours in the day thanks to Relv, and who live confidently knowing they are giving their bodies what they need to remain healthy. And since our foundation is built upon products that work, Relv has an incredibly lucrative home-based business opportunity, and many are seeing it and seizing it. Our vision remains clear: We want everyone enjoying the benefits of Relv products, and when that happens, thriving businesses will result. This issue of Lifestyle features many of the exciting things happening at Relv right now: the success of our Team Relv initiative, our booming growth in Canada, the life-changing work of the Relv Kalogris Foundation and the stories of people like new Silver Ambassadors Dave and Betty Blazic who are achieving their dreams with Relv. A special Lifestyle Plus center spread takes you inside the Relv plant for a closer-than-ever look at our renowned manufacturing process youll definitely want to check it out. But the real excitement happens on August 12-14 at our International Conference in St. Louis. The Relv Freedom Tour was just a glimpse of what you can expect at conference. Imagine thousands of Distributors gathered to share stories, launch new initiatives, receive training from top leaders and celebrate what we have achieved together. It truly is a weekend that can change your life. See you in St. Louis!

Presidential Silver Ambassadors and Inner Circle Members Dave & Betty Blazic

A Classic American Success Storyew Silver Ambassadors Dave and Betty Blazic of Topeka, Kansas, have never been satisfied to sit back and wait for life to happen. They would rather reach for their dreams, even when a lot of work is involved. Some people our age might be content to sit on the front porch relaxing or playing bingo all day not us! Betty says. Betty and Dave found out they had reached the Silver Ambassador level on their nine-year anniversary with Relv. The two most important words in this business are: focus and commitment. Focus on what needs to be done and make a commitment to the whole Relv Success System, she adds. The Blazics say they love their job because it gives them a real motivation in life, helping others to live well and earn income. We have a huge purpose and passion. We arent just punching a time clock each day, Betty says. The business is also flexible enough to give the Blazics time to enjoy life. We can spend time with our family whenever we want, Betty adds. We love to travel, and we always keep our suitcases close by! Having lived in the country most of their lives, the Blazics appreciate the beauty of their land. In fact, Relv income has enabled them to build a new 60 by 96-foot barn and purchase a Sundowner horse trailer, tractors and horses for their dream farm. You dont have to be educated to follow the System, Dave says. I never went to high school, but Relv works if you listen and follow the plan. Betty compares the hard work involved in the Relv System to the hard work of a farmer. A lot of people might put their

n

hand on the plow, but never run it. You have to have a strong work ethic, and we do. One particular strategy that has been effective for the Blazics is attending farm shows and setting up a Relv booth or display. The tactic has been so successful for them that Dave jokingly refers to Betty as the Booth Queen. And they dont plan to change their approach just because they have reached the next level. Betty says the acknowledgment Relv gives for their efforts is one of her favorite things about the company. Relvs recognition is outstanding. They give more of a thank-you than anywhere else in the business world. They recognize the purpose and passion of the Distributors. The Blazics also appreciate the interdependence that the Distributors of all levels have on each other. Its not all about any one person. We depend on each other. In most businesses, its dog eat dog, but with Relv, you have to help each other, Betty says. So whats next for the Relv couple always moving forward? Silver is awesome, but Bettys been hunting that gold ring all along, Dave says. Betty adds, Hes right. Ive always wanted that ring, so this is a stepping stone!

We can spend time with our family whenever we want. We love to travel, and we always keep our suitcases close by!Presidential Silver Ambassadors Dave & Betty Blazic

Advance to your next Distributor level and you could join Betty and Dave on stage at International Conference. What a powerful way to show your downline that Relv success is real and achievable!

Team RelvTakes Off

so o

ince its launch in February, the Team Relv healthy living initiative has generated a new level of excitement across the country. Relv Distributors and customers everywhere are getting up, getting moving and getting fit. And countless new people are now discovering Relv as the ideal fit for a healthy, active lifestyle. Its a whole new way to experience Relv. Just picture it: dozens of running events from coast to coast with Team Relv booths serving Innergize! and volunteers clad in Team Relv shirts sharing the benefits of Relv nutrition. And on Facebook, hundreds of people engaged in a conversation on ways to achieve optimal fitness with Relv.

Join the Team!The excitement that greeted the launch of the program has only grown in the months since. We want you to be a part of it! To submit an event for Team Relv sponsorship, visit the Team Relv page on the online Distributor portal. To join in the healthy living conversation, go to facebook.com/teamreliv.

Earth Run 2010 in Manila, Philippines

More than 7,000 runners gathered to raise awareness for the preservation of Mother Earth. Distributors passionately shared Relv as part of our campaign to promote health and fitness and our mission to Nourish Our World. Relv Philippines Managing Director Jolly Gomez

On May 20 Relv Headquarters was visited by Abe Clark, a Team Relvsponsored athlete attempting to become the 15th person ever to run across the US solo and without a support vehicle. He was averaging 22 miles a day to reach his total of 2900 miles! And every day included regular shakes of ProVantage, Innergize! and Relv Now/Classic. His efforts also raised money for Living Water International. Check on Abes progress at runningwater.cc.

Team Relv athlete Greg James of Omaha, Nebraska, won a Silver Medal at the 2010 Pan American Jiu-Jitsu Championship held in Irvine, California, in April. It was Gregs second Silver medal this year! Greg was one of 40 competitors from a number of countries in the Purple Belt Senior 2 Heavyweight division.

We had a great time! The event generated a lot of excitement and about 75 leads! The bright Team Relv colors really stood out and we were able to address the entire crowd of 600 runners. Great exposure for Relv among the healthconscious crowd. Key Director Robin Allsopp

Bill Gearhart, a 53-year-old Relv Distributor from Simi Valley, California, was diagnosed with cancer five years ago. After successful treatment he decided to supplement his diet to help maintain optimal health, eventually discovering Relv products and a daily regimen of Provantage, Innergize and Relv Now. With a new outlook on life, he also decided to get back into running. Now a regular marathon runner, he finished his first Boston Marathon with a time of 3:15:56 on April 19, 2010.

Canada Goes for the Gold With Relv!lympic athletes werent the only ones to gain notoriety in Canada this year. Relv Distributors in this quickly growing region are reaping the benefits of a market rich with possibilities. In fact, the past three quarters have seen sales growth numbers in the double digits, including a first quarter increase of 50% over last year. Canada Sales Manager Mark Lewis attributes the recent growth to a greater focus on the core principles of Relv. A number of people who might have been working on their business as a part-time project have now made a commitment to focus on it full-time, Mark says. Many veteran Distributors have gotten fired up about the market opportunities here, and are now advancing to higher levels. Often, US Distributors overlook the international market for business growth. Mark says American Distributors shouldnt discount the expansion opportunities in the market just to the north. Sponsoring in Canada was up by 110% in March of this year compared to last, he says. Canada has also seen a 300% increase in Master Affiliates this year. Whats the secret to Canadas success? No secret at all, according to Mark. The newly improved tools, such as the opportunity slides, Four Pillars videos, and new presentation workbooks, have many Distributors fired up about developing their business even further. Maria and Doug Weber of Stratford, Ontario, have focused on advertising with signs and posters in the community to get more leads. Others are simply doing what they have always done but increasing their intensity. John Stegnenga, a Master Affiliate from Jarvis, Ontario, says, Ive been more focused and intentional than in the past. The first Distributorship to reach the Presidential Director level in 2010 was Gary and Laura Lynn Martin, from St. Clements, Ontario. They say it was surprising how quickly they were able to increase their income and how easy Relv makes it. You dont have to reinvent the program just jump on board and make it happen! Gary says. Mark says, I see a great Relv year ahead of us. I foresee more growth in Canada as our Distributors continue to seize the full potential of the Relv opportunity!

Canadian Distributors Seizing a Market Full of Opportunity

Sales in Canada were up 50% compared to last year in the first quarter. Canada has also seen a 300% increase in Master Affiliates this year.

Family FreedomWe had been using the products since 2006 and we became Distributors mainly to get a discount on the product for ourselves. But in 2008, we took a closer look and decided it could be a great way for us to supplement our income. We started looking toward our friends and family to share the results with them. This year, Doug has been able to quit his construction job to focus on the Relv business. The freedom to travel has been wonderful for us since our family doesnt live nearby. A few years ago, I couldnt see myself doing this. I never would have imagined we would be able to bless others and spend more time with our family! Key Directors Maria & Doug Weber Stratford, Ontario

Never Too LateTwenty years ago, we started taking Relv products and had fantastic results. We werent interested in the business side of Relv at that time. But, eight months ago, we started as Master Affiliates. In addition to the income weve made, we feel rewarded to be able to help others with their health needs. I wish I had started my business 20 years ago, but it really is never too late to start with Relv! Directors Lily & Donald Taylor Pickering, Ontario

Sharing From the HeartTheres been more excitement locally. More people are taking the business seriously, attending conferences, special events and MAT schools. All of the events get people excited about Relv. Relv has an incredible System in place to make it easy to get started. To keep the momentum, youve got to talk to new people. Just share it with excitement and passion share it from the heart! Presidential Bronze Ambassadors Gary & Laura Lynn Martin St. Clements, Ontario

Unwavering BeliefWe started working Relv on a part-time basis, but lately we have taken on more of a full-time attitude. This led to more bonuses and increased income. We have been able to use some of that income to fund long-distance travel to visit our daughters. Our belief in these products and this business is unwavering. We are never afraid to bring up Relv when speaking to anyone. We are Distributors with the most ethical company in the world and are very proud of that. We know that, as Distributors, the leadership team at the corporate level is committed to our success. Relv has never disappointed us! Senior Directors John & Annette Stegenga Jarvis, Ontario

Dont miss your chance to network with our Canadian Distributors along with Distributors from the US, Europe, Asia and Australia at International Conference. Its the perfect opportunity to launch your own international business!

Relv Distributors on a mission to Nourish the World through Kalogris FoundationThe Relv Kalogris Foundation Mission Trip changed hearts the way no other Relv trip has. The faces of these children are etched in my mind and in my heart forever, says Key Director Lou Ann Pecorelli. I always connected to the faces of the children in the videos, but to be a part of it and see the depth of the Foundations work was more powerful than anything they could have shown me. From the moment Relv announced the firstever Kalogris Foundation Mission Trip in September, Presidential Gold Ambassador Mindy Jones of Alpharetta, GA, knew she would be part of it. I said, Im going! and I immediately got focused. It all came together after that, Mindy says. When they announced my name on the Monday night call, I was just so excited. Sharing in Mindys excitement was Bronze Ambassador Kathy Penney: I always thought of these children and now was my chance to finally meet them! and Vivienne Lewis of Gresham, OR, took a tour of a feeding program. In this program, children receive Relv shakes, which they call pod meaning nutrition. They learn to speak English, weave, read and write. After three days, the Distributors felt like they had known the children and volunteers for years. Poverty isnt always about money. These children are poor in health, Lou Ann says. But when they are given Relv, their bodies can grow and they can learn and play like all children should. It was easy to fall in love with the Malaysian people, most of whom were descendants of nationalities from India, China or other southeast Asian countries. They were so friendly and giving, always with gleaming smiles and a friendly word, add Vivienne and Crismon. Kathy and Mindy visited a garbage dump in the Philippines where poor families spend hours each day collecting scraps of recyclables for a few dollars each month. They also visited a feeding program called Happyland where rows of buildings house poor families. Distributors made shakes for the children in a room reno-

Mission (Trip) Accomplished!How You Can HelpThe Kalogris Foundation can only do so much, but if we can get more Distributors to join us in this effort by contributing to the Foundation, we can do much more. Presidential Double Platinum Ambassador Raul Paredes

Build Your BusinessThe Foundation is unique in that all of our support comes from our own Relv Distributors. Since we do not solicit outside organizations or individuals for donations, the best way for us to increase donations is to increase our donor base. And the best way to increase our donor base is to bring in new Distributors. The more people you sponsor into the business, the more Distributors there are to support the Foundation.

DonateRelv offers Distributors various ways to donate. Whether it is a one-time donation, a recurring monthly contribution of a specific amount or your monthly PVQ, it all adds up to helping us continue to maintain our current feeding programs and hopefully expand in the future.

vated by the Foundation to be a clean, safe place for the children to go for school. Presidential Double Platinum Ambassadors Raul and Aurora Paredes of Dallas, TX, visited Haiti and were overwhelmed by the extent of the poverty everywhere they looked. Now that I have seen it, I can categorically say that unless you actually see, actually touch and actually feel Haiti, you cannot begin to comprehend the situation, Raul says.

little hope for the future. They are our future scientists, doctors, nurses. These will be future mothers and fathers. Kathy viewed the trip as a way for her to pay forward the past assistance she received. Sixteen years ago, before Relv, I went to food pantries because I couldnt afford groceries. I never knew how lucky I was to even have a place like that. But these people have nothing, she says. Dr. Kalogris and Bob Montgomery had a vision to nourish the world, and now I feel like I am truly part of that vision. This trip has truly changed my heart and changed my life forever.

Love in ActionThe Distributors were amazed at the Foundations impact. Before we went, I knew the Kalogris Foundation was feeding kids and building schools, but had no idea the magnitude of the work being done, Mindy notes. It became obvious to us that Relv has become an instrument, a tool, in the hands of some of the most caring and devoted people we have ever met, Vivienne and Crismon add. Taking a Relv shake will never again be the same for us. Our level of gratitude and belief in the capacity of these products has soared tremendously. If I could describe in just three words what the Kalogris Foundation is all about, it would be: LOVE IN ACTION, Aurora says. We are feeding children who otherwise have

WORK

Making Your Home Office

a12

for YouRaul & Aurora ParedesStaying Organized and Setting BoundariesIn a home office, it is important to separate business from personal tasks throughout the day. Presidential Double Platinum Ambassadors Raul and Aurora Paredes of Dallas, TX, have made it clear to the household that their workspace is for Relv business only. Having a separate area for me to work in gives me the ability to focus better on what I have to do. Having a little area to report in gives me more discipline, Aurora says. Boundaries and organization help to define ones workspace. As Raul explains, We have let the household know that the space is our own. Then, we make sure that all documents, materials and equipment are always placed within our own workspace and not scattered all over the house. Keeping everything you need in close proximity means you can be more efficient with your time. I have my computer, telephone, filing and Relv materials all within arms reach. It certainly beats driving through traffic daily. Our office is just a few feet away! Aurora says.

nyone who has worked in a corporate atmosphere has most likely longed for a home office. The thought of wearing pajamas all day sounds comfy, and being home to spend more time with the kids appeals to any parent. But a home office can only succeed if it is treated like a real business. Many successful Relv Distributors have built their businesses using a home office that feels separate from their living space. In other words, they arent operating from their kitchen table or livingroom couch. Heres how a few Distributors have created home offices that work.

Dress for Success!Those fuzzy bunny slippers might be perfect for working from home, but when you are meeting potential customers, suddenly they arent so cute. Dress for your own success by wearing a nice shirt with the Relv logo. Wear a Relv pin on your lapel. Or carry a Relv tote with you. These items can be conversation starters, giving you the opportunity to talk about your business, especially when a stranger asks, Hey, whats Relv? Check out the Company Store at reliv.com for a variety of Relv apparel and other logoed items.

Betty & Dave BlazicCreating a Personalized SpacePresidential Silver Ambassadors Betty and Dave Blazic of Topeka, KS, were successful with Relv before, but since designating a space as their home office, they have been able to take their business to the next level. My office started with a desk in a small hallway. My assistant worked from a folding card table in the front room and shelves full of products. We were cramped to say the least, but we were serious! Betty says. When they expanded their farm house, they created a communications center in their large new office. With three desks, two tables, a sofa, shelves and other furniture, it truly feels like a professional office space. They have personalized it with various awards on display. Perhaps the best part of working from home is the fact that it reflects the Blazics and their love of their farm. Betty explains, We set it up the way we wanted. We get to enjoy the huge windows and the view of the farm. I can see everything and look into my beautiful yard every day!

Chris Toriello & Mark GaugerRunning a Relv Operations CenterBronze Ambassadors Chris Toriello and Mark Gauger from North Yarmouth, ME, incorporated a new home office for Chris when they built their garage. Initially, they used a hodgepodge of furniture just to fill it up. After visiting Relvs corporate headquarters, I saw Dr. Carls beautiful desk and was inspired, Chris says. Ive got a multimillion dollar business and it should feel that way. So when we got back home, I found a beautiful cherry desk that inspired me! The couple also has several bulletin boards and white boards that they use to write goals, track appointments and make organizational charts. The visuals help them stay on track. When Mark retired from the military, he set up his office in the living room. After a while, the couple found that set-up to be disconnected. We figured that since this is our business, we needed to be doing it together, Mark says. Being a military officer, Mark is used to using a lot of acronyms, so he coined the term Relv Operations Center and they now call it the ROC. We love earning a living and making a difference and the ROC keeps us focused on doing just that!13

Qa&Q aWhat professional experience prepared you for establishing such a sound manufacturing process when you arrived at Relv?

with Dr. Carl

I had the good fortune of starting my career at Mead Johnson & Company right after I earned my Ph.D. in Food Science from the University of Illinois. Mead Johnson produced a variety of nutritional products, including infant formula, as well as pharmaceutical products. As you can imagine, manufacturing these kinds of products required the highest degree of quality control. It was like being re-educated right out of school. We had medical doctors working alongside Ph.D.s to create production areas, including sterile production areas, with the highest possible standards. I became proficient in quality manufacturing practices right from the start and brought that knowledge with me to Relv.

Quality and efficiency were the top priorities. We developed a three-story production process, for example, that uses gravity to move ingredients through the production process rather than having to convey them from station to station. This also decreases the possibility of contamination. Every feature of the facility was taken into consideration from using paints on the walls that could be washed down easily and inhibit bacteria growth to installing an air quality system to control heat and humidity and direct air flow out of the plant. Our foresight in creating such a state-of-the-art facility has been one of the cornerstones of Relv success over the years.

Q a

Why is Relv so committed to the quality and safety of its products?

Q a

How is Relvs manufacturing process regulated?

Our commitment to quality and safety is defined by the moral integrity of the company itself and the people involved since the very beginning. We are proud of what we produce. We want every Relv customer to know they are getting the best possible nutrition and every Relv Distributor to know that they can build their business with absolute confidence in what they are bringing to people. Weve had opportunities to take shortcuts that might have increased profitability over the years, but thats not the Relv way. Our families take these products. We wouldnt give them anything but the best, and thats the same way we feel about everyone who takes Relv products around the world.

Q a

In 1992, Relvs growth as a company enabled the construction of the current manufacturing plant. How did you approach creating the facility?

In the U.S., we comply with two regulatory systems of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) by following GMPs (Good Manufacturing Practices) for both food producers and dietary supplement manufacturers. The FDA regularly inspects our operations without advance notice of their visit. During their most recent visit, one that we were told would last two days, inspectors were so impressed that they completed their work in just one morning! We are also one of the few nutritional supplement companies that meet the requirements of stricter international regulatory agencies such as Australias TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration). The TGA process requires a thorough three-

We didnt spare any expense. Our desire was to build a top-quality operation. We knew Relv was going to be around for a long time and we knew the standards we wanted to maintain as we grew.

Vice Chairman and Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Carl W. Hastings heads Relvs product development and manufacturing team. Part of Relv since its founding in 1988, Dr. Hastings has spent nearly 40 years in food product research and development. His pioneering work has made him a worldrenowned authority on soy-based nutrition, and his commitment to innovation has produced several U.S. patents for Relv products.

Social Media Works!established new customers including a family of four in North Carolina and a man in Singapore. Recently, he asked me about becoming a Distributor. I would have never met any of these people had it not been for social networking!Ambassador Tracee Randall

our months since its launch, more than 5,000 people have joined the online conversation on the Relv International Facebook Page. Many Distributors have already used social media, including Facebook, to grow their Relv business. Social media is a marketing tool you can use to generate new leads, maintain customer relationships and keep in touch with your business network. One of the biggest myths about using social media for business is that is it easy. Jennifer Fong is a speaker, consultant and trainer who teaches direct selling companies and individual direct sellers how to use social media effectively as a business-building tool. On her blog, jenfongspeaks.com, Jen explains, You MUST build relationships with people to use social media marketing well. That means investing time daily in finding new contacts, talking to them and listening to whats important to them. Only after a relationship is built can you talk about your product or opportunity. Your contacts will only come back if you have something valuable to offer them. Jen says, The people you connect with need to come to trust you as someone who will provide content of value. Repeatedly asking people to buy your product via status updates will only annoy people. Providing useful health or nutrition information might actually get a discussion started instead. Once you have built up a relationship, you can communicate privately online or in person to discuss Relv.

Heres how Relv Distributors have been using social media to boost their business!

Relv Cares

Week of Caring gives Relv employees the opportunity to give backReceptionist Judy Arnold served as one of the team leaders. We worked our tails off spreading mulch and sanitizing a huge playground in our citys jewel: Forest Park, Judy says. Then we went to the Boathouse for some great food, scenery and camaraderie with coworkers that we normally dont get the chance to interact with. It was a fun and rewarding time! International Marketing Manager Mark Malott headed up a group that went to Ronald McDonald House to make a meal for parents of children undergoing treatment for serious illness at local hospitals. When we were setting up dinner, the Director was showing new parents around the house and you could visibly see the worry and sadness on their faces. When they were finished with the tour, they came back to the kitchen for dinner and they were so appreciative. It really illustrated how something as small a making a meal can brighten someones day when they have a sick child at the hospital. Food prepared with care and love can be a great comfort to those dealing with crisis and our Relv team really made it special, Mark says. Debra concludes, It goes along with the heart of our company to do something like this. With our mission, it just makes sense for Relv to give back locally.

he Relv mission to Nourish Our World in body, mind and spirit is at the core of what employees do each day at Relv headquarters. We spread the Relv mission through the Kalogris Foundation worldwide, but we also think it is important to make an impact locally as well, says Chief Operating Officer Scott Montgomery. During our second annual Week of Caring, Relv employees went beyond their office walls to make a difference in the local community. The program coincided with National Volunteer Week, April 18-24. Roughly one-third of all Relv employees participated. Volunteer work included building a house for Habitat for Humanity, cleaning and mulching at Forest Park, donating supplies and playing with animals at Open Door Animal Sanctuary, making a meal for families at Ronald McDonald House and raising money and walking for the March of Dimes. Employees also raised money for the Humane Society through a Bark in the Park event. Our goals for the event were to get involved in volunteerism, promote teamwork among employees and get the Relv name out there in our local community, says Vice President of Operations Debra Hellweg, who helped plan the event along with a committee of other employees. The week was a huge success. The organizations that received our help were very grateful, and the employees who participated had a wonderful sense of fulfillment.

Fun and Rewarding

Athlete Succeeds On and Off the CourtSpecial Olympian Amanda Lines of Hebron, Indiana, has improved her health with the help of Relvs Slimplicity program. As a basketball, volleyball and softball player, Amanda credits her weight loss for improvements in her athletic performance as well. Amandas weight gain made it more difficult for her to compete on the basketball court, explains her mother, Kendra Lines. After the Special Olympics in June 2009, Amanda realized she needed to lose some weight in order to keep up with the team. After about six to eight weeks of using the Relv shakes, she had a lot more energy for exercise, Kendra says. The added energy meant Amanda could take longer walks outside with her dog. When it rained, Amanda used a stationary bike indoors. Since starting on Slimplicity, Amanda has lost 40 pounds. She is feeling so much better that she recently advanced from half-court to full-court basketball without any difficulty. Now I can play longer without having to be subbed out of the game as often, says Amanda, who plays guard on the team. And I steal the ball a lot more on defense!

Eli Smith of Franklin, Indiana.

Flourishing With Relv Now for KidsTo watch my child flourishing is wonderful, says Kim Smith, a Relv Master Affiliate from Franklin, Indiana. But Kims three-year-old son, Eli, didnt always enjoy good health. Eli suffered from several food allergies and asthma, and trips to the emergency room were common. His breathing problems and allergies kept him indoors while other children played outside. A friend familiar with Elis health issues gave Kim a can of Relv Now for Kids. Kim was skeptical, and the product sat untouched in her pantry for two weeks. I didnt want to take the chance the ingredients would cause an allergic reaction, Kim explains. When she finally introduced Eli to the product, she witnessed an astounding improvement. With better nutrition in his body, Eli is a changed boy! she says. Kim is thrilled her son can now enjoy the outdoors with his family. He loves hunting, fishing and camping with his dad, Kim says. Some of his favorite activities now include tee ball and playing outside with his dogs. Kim looks forward to a healthier future for her children. Sharing Elis story with others has been amazing. Im really excited that my kids will grow up with Relv nutrition in their lives!

Good Nutrition Changes Lives At Any AgeVic Linden of Fairfax, Virginia, is 84 years old, a WW II vet and a retired carpenter. In 2005, Vic suffered a devastating stroke. I couldnt do anything but eat and sleep, Vic recalls. My vision had gotten so bad that my ophthalmologist told me I couldnt drive, and I was plagued by stiff joints. In September 2006, Vic started on Relv. I noticed a difference right away, he says. Before I knew it, I was taking long walks and working in the yard. Vic had a long-time passion for competitive archery, but after his stroke he didnt know if he could even draw a bow. In 2007, Vic tried competing again. In competition, we have to shoot 60 arrows, 20 at 60 yards, 20 at 50 yards and 20 at 40 yards. It takes about 3 1/2 hours, Vic explains. In the previous three years, Vic came away with a silver medal each year. In 2010 he took home the gold! When I went back to my eye doctor, he was amazed by the improvement in my vision, Vic says. Im hardly aware of the physical limitations that used to slow me down. With Gods help, and Relv, Im going to have a good life. Relv is great! Vic Linden of Fairfax, Virginia.

Triathlete Perseveres With Help From RelvSteve Weiler, a student at Washington State University, was a competitive and dedicated triathlete. Two years of competition had Steve thinking about a professional athletic career. But last August, while he was training on his bike, Steve was hit by a truck. My orthopedic surgeon found I had a broken tibial plateau and severe damage to the cartilage in my leg, Steve says. He told me my athletic career was over, that in two years Id have to deal with arthritis and that I might not be able to walk! After six weeks on crutches, Steve asked his doctor if he could Steve Weiler of Vancouver, Washington. try biking again. When I got back on my bike in December, I began using Relvs Arthaffect, Steve explains. After a two-hour-plus ride, Id be pretty sore, but Arthaffect helped me recover quickly and reduced the inflammation, soreness and pain in my knee. It allows me to train harder and recover faster. Now Im also using Innergize! up to three bottles on long rides and it keeps my energy levels high, he adds. Im back on the cycling team at Washington State and I have also recently won two stage races. Relv not only helps with my racing, but in my life every single day.

Relv Freedom Brings Couple Closer TogetherJason Arntz, 24, was inspired to become a Relv Distributor in college after witnessing improvements in his mothers health. As a college student, however, Jason was initially more interested in having fun than starting a business. I didnt really care about nutrition at that point. I think my bodys chemical makeup was basically soda and pizza, he jokes. For three years, Jason didnt do much to build his business. In July 2009, Jason married Jen, 23, and with marriage came a new outlook. When you start making sacrifices, you find rewards. Eventually, the sacrifices become a joy, he says. Then in August, Jason was laid off. He turned to his Relv business for income. I sat in a cubicle analyzing auto industry data all day. I wanted freedom to spend more time with my wife, he says. He and Jen started building the business together, eventually achieving the level of 3-Star Director. Jason was given his job back, but after a few months, he decided to quit and focus entirely on Relv. Jason and Jen want to spend more time together on ministry, music and dance. Their eventual goal is for Jen to focus on Relv full-time as well. We have already experienced so much freedom through Relv and we know the best is yet to come. Relv is a business of the heart. Every day with Relv, my vision of freedom becomes clearer, Jason says. Jen & Jason Arntz of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Bird family of Townsend, Montana.

Relving on the RanchSenior Directors Cory and Jennilee Bird of Townsend, Montana, were able to expand their ranching business with income from their Relv business. Before I started with Relv, I knew more about salt licks for horses and cattle than I knew about nutrition for humans, Jennilee says. She learned more about nutrition when she saw her own positive results on Relv. I experienced fewer aches and pains, headaches and allergy symptoms with the proper nutrition in my body. As horse dealers, ranchers and trucking company owners, the Birds are no strangers to hard work. Theyve incorporated Relv into their array of business ventures by applying the same strong work ethic they need on the ranch. In fact, theyve been so successful, they recently purchased a second herd of cattle with their Relv earnings. Jennilee says the key to their success has been to continue sharing Relv with more people and to focus on helping their customers and Distributors. I love to hear the stories of results people are getting and knowing that we played a part, she says. It has really been phenomenal!

new distributorsConference Inspires New Distributors SuccessKey Director Faithe Michaels became a Distributor in February 2010 after seeing how her family benefited from better nutrition. We started on the products for wellness and prevention. We all started feeling really good and had more energy, and I noticed we werent getting sick as often as we had the previous year, she says. Faithe took a fast track to success. She attended a Tuesday night meeting and a Saturday training in the same week. Just one week after that, she attended the National Conference in Phoenix and was inspired to build her Relv business. Oh my gosh, the conference was amazing! Everyone in the room wants to help other people. The way the company is run and the integrity is amazing, Faithe says. One of the things I really like about conference is that all of the speakers are from the company. It is so much more effective than having an outsider come in to speak to us because they can relate to Relv and they know what the company is all about. As a newer Distributor, Faithe finds the support from others to be very encouraging, So many people with different backgrounds and from different walks of life love what they are able to do with Relv. I am proud to be a part of this wonderful community.

Davids mom and some of her friends have become a part of his organization and he sees tremendous potential in his peers at school. I know how great the products are from my own experience, he explains, and people my age are surprisingly nutrition-conscious. I intend to become a Star Director this year, and earn $1,000 a month, he adds. From there, the skys the limit as far as Im concerned. With Relv, great things are possible!
