True Health Foundation – How I help feed millions

June 18, 2018June 18, 2018 by Angie Gray Leave a comment

I’ve been with USANA for 23 years. During this time I’ve watched the THF and the Children’s Hunger Fund feed millions of families. I’ve watched them come to the aid of suffering countries all over the world.

There’s so much suffering in the world. Sometimes it can seem overwhelming–leaving us feeling helpless.

“What can I possibly do to make a difference?”

Aligning with the THF, I know for sure I am making a difference. I hope you take a moment today to see what a difference just $1 can make.

Protect your Family from the Flu this Season

February 8, 2018February 8, 2018 by Angie Gray Leave a comment

So far, I have avoided getting a cold or the flu and thankfully, Todd and the kids have stayed healthy too.

Everyone I know is worried about getting the flu right now. The first thing I recommend is take an honest look at your current stress level. Most of us know that stress is unhealthy, but not everyone realizes how super hard stress is on your immune system!

Now more than ever, we need to de-stress our lives and give our immune system all the help we can provide.

Did You Know?

70% of our immune system is in the walls of our gut.

Here are my Top 5 Ways to avoid the Flu

Stay away from sugar. Before meal blood sugars are 70-99. It’s estimated that a blood sugar level of 120 reduces your immune system by up to 75%!

High quality supplementation and probiotic. Supplementing our healthy diet is so important for an optimal immune system. 70% of our immune system is in the walls of our gut.

Meditation is how I begin my day. Quiet time alone focused on your breathing can boost your immune system. Meditation can be practiced anywhere, for any amount of time. One type of meditation commonly used as a stress management technique is called Transcendental Meditation. It’s simple to do. It’s recommended that you practice for 20 minutes, two times a day. You sit with your eyes closed and repeat a mantra of your choice.

Hitting your reset button regularly is a good thing

January 17, 2018January 21, 2018 by Angie Gray Leave a comment

About once a month my body says to me, “Angie, it’s time for a RESET.” This a good thing for a couple of reasons:

My natural biorhythm is working perfectly. Gotta love that!
A 5-day cleanse makes me feel incredibly renewed on several levels.

I get a lot of questions about doing a 5-day reset. The most popular question is, “Does this reset thing really help me manage my weight?”

Diets don’t work; lifestyle changes do

I’ll be straight-up with you, it’s not about losing weight. I hear a lot of gasps right after I say this. But, it’s true. A reset is exactly what the name implies–it’s a RESET. We are resetting our bodies back to a healthy baseline so we can jump-start our healthy habits. And of course we all know that healthy habits lead to a healthy lifestyle.

Strategies about creating habits and forming certain intentions are not tricks, but once we form them, they are more likely to kick in automatically right when we need them.

~Jean Fain, LICSW, MSW, is a Harvard Medical School

This is why resets works. Resets are lifestyle changes not diets. Diets don’t work. Lifestyle changes do work. This is what the science says. We all know this, but most of keep trying dieting and continue to set ourselves up for failure.

Diets do not work. The scientific evidence is clear as can be that cutting calories simply doesn’t lead to long-term weight loss or health gains.

We suspect most dieters have realized this by now too. And yet, here they are again, setting the same weight loss goal this year that they set last year.”

~Traci Mann Professor of Psychology, University of Minnesota

Pro tip

Humans are generally lazy. A nicer way of phrasing this is that in general we are so efficient that we tend to follow the path of least resistance! 😉

This desire for taking the easy approach is a blessing in disguise. When it comes to lifestyle diet changes, this is thee golden rule.

Stock up on foods that are known to be healthier for you and known to help manage weight!

Conversely, remove all the foods that you know are bad for you and contribute to excessive weight gain. Bottom line is give yourself easy access to the good stuff. Make it harder to be able to get your hands on the not-so-good stuff.

My holiday RE-tox – How Overeating Messes with Your Wellness

January 13, 2018January 13, 2018 by Angie Gray Leave a comment

Eating well and taking care of yourself

It’s not about how you look anymore

On December twentieth, 2017, I decided to be mindfully unmindful.

Mindfully choosing to eat, in particular, cherry Hershey kisses, every night for a week. I also engaged in a lot, of processed foods. Cheese and crackers, homemade bread, a few cookies, lots of popcorn, beer, and pizza.

80/20 Rule

I have often said that I am a big believer in 80/20 rule. I really do enjoy living a very healthy lifestyle 80% of the time or more.

I also love, one of my favorite things, movie popcorn with a large fountain pop! It’s true! I look forward to movie night with my husband twice a month, and that’s my favorite thing! Most of the time we go and get a burger before the movie. My burger would be without the bun, and I always get sweet potato fries but you get the picture. #noregrets 🤗

So the results of my conscious crappy eating include, all of the following:

Bloating
5 unwanted pounds.
Severe heartburn.
Many nights sleeping with my head on two or three pills, almost sitting up, because of the heartburn.
Restless sleep.
Psoriasis flare-up.
Mood swings.
Depression
Lack of motivation and focus

The Damage

According registered dietitian Aglaee Jacob, “Regular binges increase risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, some types of cancers, gallbladder disease, headaches, joint pain and menstrual problems for women.

Binges can also affect you psychologically by causing feelings of failure, guilt and shame, depression and even suicidal thoughts.”

The Good News

I’m not exactly sure of the deep-seated reasons I chose to allow myself this re-tox. However what I do know is the contrast between how I feel eating dead processed foods and eating food my body craves for health, energy, focus, and motivation to be my highest self.

It only took two days, and I was already feeling relief!

I can’t believe it!…Yes, I can!
I totally KNOW this and TEACH this.
It really was a strange gift to experience the reality of how destructive “dead food” can be👎🏼

Eating well and taking care of yourself

It’s not about how you look anymore

Yes, I like how I look much better when I’m taking care myself–that seems natural to me. But now, it’s about having the energy and vitality to feel my best!

To walk the talk! To feel strong and confident with a clear mind.
To take responsibility for the energy I bring to each day.
To have the physical ability to play with my children and perform at my highest levels in my highest purpose!

Did You Know?

Habitually overeating damages the mechanisms in the stomach that tell your brain that you are full. And, drinking cold water while eating exacerbates the problem!

To teach body positivity, which is the message of worth and value, and to EMBRACE who we are, in mind, BODY, and spirit, I always have to be peeling back the layers of ME.

This is tough.

I frame my message around everything I do professionally.

The message I came to this planet to deliver is:

YOU ARE WORTHY
WORTHY OF ABUNDANCE
IN ALL PARTS OF YOUR LIFE.

Do you identify with any of the following?

Understanding your worth and value begins with loving your physical body.

Loving your body is beginning the journey of EMBRACING YOU.

Join me on this journey of self-love and having a body-loving life! TOGETHER we can be a positive force for global change.

Our daughters are watching. xoxo

Please enjoy one of my all-time favorite peoples, Brene Brown and Oprah talking about WORTHINESS xoxo

When Body Image Activist Taryn Brumfitt posted an unconventional before-and-after photo in 2013 it was seen by more than 100 million people worldwide and sparked an international media frenzy. EMBRACE follows Taryn’s crusade as she explores the global issue of body loathing, inspiring us to change the way we feel about ourselves and think about our bodies.

At home in Adelaide, Australia, Taryn Brumfitt is a wife and mother of three. But internationally, she is a highly recognised body image activist whose powerful message has reached over 100 million people worldwide via traditional and social media. After receiving more than 7000 emails and messages from people all over the world, Taryn realised that there was a global body-hating epidemic and felt compelled to find answers.

Here’s Taryn’s photo that went viral.

Eat Anything You Want

November 20, 2017December 10, 2017 by Angie Gray Leave a comment

While I was at Sanoviv Medical Institute with my group of amazing healthy aware humans, my friend and lead nutritionist shared her eat anything you want nutrition and weight loss plan with me!

I’m going to share it with you! 😊

Let’s say you want a bag of chips,
and you’re dying for a giant bowl of ice cream!

What do you do?

Would you believe me if I told you that you could definitely have your ice cream and chips!?

Well, here’s what you do–follow these simple instructions and obey the one and only rule below.

First, go to your kitchen table ( not your living room and there can be no television screen in front of you) and find the prettiest tablecloth you have.

Get your phone and put some real pretty music on something nice and relaxing.

Set your phone somewhere off the table and out of reach.

Now go get your best plate and your best fork and put that on the table.

If you have a flower handy, set it right next to your candle, so you have some lovely things to look at.

Is your table set? Do you have music, tablecloth, best plate, best fork, flower, & candle? If yes, then proceed. If no, get your settings before moving on.

Get that big bag of chips and that big bowl of ice cream!

Empty the bag of chips and your bowl of ice cream onto that pretty plate.

Now, sit down at your lovely setting and begin to eat. Enjoy every bite.

Appreciate the fuss you made to create the perfect ambiance for the perfect treat. ❤️

Hang on. So, what’s the one and only rule?

You are not allowed under any circumstance to be on your phone while enjoying your ice cream and potato chips.

Eat & enjoy. Do nothing else while you are eating.

Mindful Eating

How does this work? Don’t take my word for it. Here’s what Harvard Medical has to say about mindful eating.

Slow down, you’re eating too fast. Distracted, hurried eating may add pounds and take away pleasure. –Harvard Medical

According to Harvard Medical, “A small yet growing body of research suggests that a slower, more thoughtful way of eating could help with weight problems and maybe steer some people away from processed food and other less-healthful choices.”

Mindful eating is one of the core components in my 28-day Be Healthy Be Beautiful program. Let me know if you want in!

Join my next Be Healthy Be beautiful Program and Lifestyle Journey on Monday, November 27! And you too, can stay healthy for the holidays and beyond!

Enjoy!

Can Food Really Heal?

October 21, 2017October 26, 2017 by Angie Gray Leave a comment

As you all know I was honored to travel to Baja, MX last week to Sanoviv Medical Institute to host a Health and Education Retreat for six days.

But, like all of us when we try something new, I had some doubts and concerns. “Will I be able to let go, will my kids be okay, and will I be ready for my upcoming keynote presentation?” were just some of the things on my mind.

It Was Amazing

It was my first time going to Sanoviv. I heard so many great things about it, but experiencing it myself, with my husband and friends, exceeded all expectations! Here is just a shortlist of what was provided to make our retreat a truly healing experience:

100% organic clothing.
Delicious, organic, and gluten free meals.
Group yoga, meditation, breathing, and relaxation classes.
Facial, reflexology, and Swedish massage spa therapies.
Stress and microscopic blood assessments.
100% chemical free grounds.

Our Take-Aways (Todd & mine)

MY TAKEAWAY

I was able to RELAX. Let it go and TRUST. PRACTICE what I TEACH. I came home so renewed and so full of gratitude for my life and my health!

My husband Todd lives a pretty healthy life but kind of waived off the VERY REAL significance of DIET when it came to its relationship to PAIN.

With his work, his pre-Sanoviv diet, nutrition, and lifestyle kept his pain at about a 3 on a scale of 1-10. Some days worse or better depending on the job.

Nights were the worst. His arms would fall asleep. Not the tingly falling asleep but a painful fall asleep accompanied by pain that would wake him up at night.

TODD’S TAKEAWAY

After two days at Sanoviv, he was pain-FREE. YES. Pain-FREE!!!

The MORAL of the story is FOOD MATTERS. TOXINS MATTER. SLEEP AND WATER, MATTER.

I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN US THIS SPRING

Some of the best decisions I ever made started with, fear.

Getting married

Having children

Yoga

Starting my business

Public speaking

The list goes on and on, and I would guess, if you take a minute to think about the BEAUTIFUL things in your life, you may find many began with saying YES, to something you feared?

Fear of failure, in one way or another.

What I know for sure is that all of us want to feel healthy, awesome in her own skin with abundant energy.

Fear stops people from making the change they desire.

But not today, not on my watch! Whoop!

As women, we have super full lives: families, careers, self-care

August 20, 2017August 20, 2017 by Angie Gray Leave a comment

Hello Beautiful People 😊

As women, we have super full lives:

Families
Careers
Self-care
And you know, all the things we do to change the world!

The last two weeks our family has been vacationing at our cabin in Minnesota, and it’s been amazing! But, it has been also challenging.

Challenging in the way of letting myself enjoy doing nothing.

I’ve learned a lot about myself. Doing nothing feels weird. It’s totally a trust thing for me–to trust I don’t always have to be DOING.”

Yup.

I know this.
I teach this.
I coach this.

We (myself included) don’t always have to be DOING.

Learn more about my coaching programs

Vacation days, just like regular everyday life days, will be what I allow them to be. What I decide them to be, intentionally.

I am so grateful for my husband.

My husband works harder than anyone I’ve ever known but when it comes to vacation; he knows 100% how to relax and unplug.

He is so good for me.

He is my Bob Marley reminding me, “Don’t worry about a thing, ’cause every little thing gonna be all right.” ~Bob Marley

Whew!!

I feel better already! Time to let it flow and watch and receive as the Universe shows up!

As God reveals to me how much I am loved and softly reminds me every day to

BE.

To love the life I live and LIVE the life I love!

Have a quick listen to this audio recording of living in the moment.

Do you feel like quitting? And, you are #NeverTooOld

July 29, 2017December 10, 2017 by Angie Gray Leave a comment

Knowing that you can either do nothing, stay the same, or change can set you FREE!

About three years ago, someone I respect, told me that if I was feeling overwhelmed and stressed out, or if I felt like I wanted to quit, then just QUIT.

At 47-years old I started my coaching business after 18 years of being a stay-at-home mom. Out of our seven children, three were still being home-schooled, and basically, five of the seven were still living at home.

My husband Todd is an entrepreneur and runs a successful flooring business.

Although all the troops were on board to support my new journey, no one really knew what to expect, including me.

The kids were used to having me “at the ready” and honestly so was Todd. I was juggling all the new parts of having a business and growing a team all the while doing my best to maintain all the same mom responsibilities.

There were a lot of break-downs along the way.

I’m happy to share with you that in 3 years:

I have grown an International business,
become a leader within my community and company,
and increased our income.

What manifested in these 3 years were the most amazing things and experiences in our life. But, all this wasn’t possible

WITHOUT HELP! ☺️

I had a mentor.

I had a coach that I sought out. My coach was:

Already successful and a person who I aligned with.
Someone I respected and whom I felt was “real” and would share from their heart.
Who was passionate about living life to its fullest and creating a life they loved.

Sometimes taking the first steps are the hardest.

Do you think it’s too late or you are too old to make a change? You won’t after watching this.

This is a powerful video I want to share with you, from one of my favorite women. My virtual mentor, Marie Forleo.

“One time, someone told me that I could quit. By quitting, I knew I was free to succeed.” ~Angie Gray

30-Day Raw: Raw Walnut Taco Recipe

June 15, 2017June 15, 2017 by Angie Gray Leave a comment

This didn’t look quite as pretty as the picture but actually that mango looks a bit like melted cheese?

Listen people, I do not love to venture off the beaten path when it comes to what I eat. I know what I like and that’s usually what I eat every day.

So, this new #30dayraw (you should do it with me), has really opened me up to food and how fun it is!

That might sound funny coming from a Holistic Wellness Coach who talks about food? But, with 7 kids it’s not easy to be super creative and get something that everyone likes. This is especially challenging with a picky husband. 🙄

So for now I’m making my own meals and hoping they’ll be open to trying them. This taco recipe is amaze balls, and EASY 😅

A little too salty so I’ll tweak it for next time but it lasted me for 2 supper meals! 🙌🏻Super good! 😋and PS, all the new recipes I’m making fit right into my amazing SexyFit program!

It’s time for my mid summer challenge! Register here.

Time to get SexyFit! 💃🏼

Father’s Day 2017 – He loves his children’s mother

June 14, 2017June 15, 2017 by Angie Gray Leave a comment

Happy Father’s Day to all my friends that are dads, all of the husbands, and to the men who love and care for the children that aren’t even their “own.” 😊

My husband, Todd adopted our eldest child when we got married when she was just five years-old.

This was the beginning of an unbelievable grace-filled family journey that would read more like a novel than a newsletter. Numerous beautiful experiences in our life have molded us into the amazing individuals and parents (and children) that we are today.

I love my husband of 26-years, more today than than ever before; I love him for many reasons.

Despite our sometimes polar opposite parenting styles, and more often than not, feeling like I am the only parent in the house–he loves our children fiercely.

The number one biggest and most important gift he has embodied for our children is his love for me.

“The greatest gift a father can give his children is to love their mother” ~A.G.U.

Really, my friends, Todd is a superdad. NOT a perfect dad–a real dad. He is doing his best to BE his best. ☺️ Cheers to all the daddys doing their best and to all the dads who have left this physical place.

There is so much love for you here. Wishing you the best Father’s Day ever, ~xo

Thank you!

Thank you for reading my last newsletter. I received encouraging feedback from people like you and me trying to fit everything in. If you missed it, please go to angiegraywellness.com.

How do I get it all in?

June 7, 2017June 13, 2017 by Angie Gray 1 Comment

Hi Beautiful People 😊

This weekend I had the honor of presenting at a health and fitness fest.
Before I began to teach–as we waited for the event to begin, I introduced myself to a group of ladies at the table. I like to meet the audience to ask what they hope to learn or hear more about.
They thought for a moment and one lady simply said,

“How do we fit it all in?”

This is an age old question.

The same lady proceeded to tell me the schedule of her daily events and how by the end of the day she was pooped. With all our responsibilities, there just doesn’t seem to be enough time.

This, my sisters, is NOT true and NOT true.

WE decide what things or people or tasks we prioritize.

WE decide what things or people or tasks we give our time to.

Just Do It

~Nike

Our choices reflect our priorities. So, the simple answer to, “How do I fit it all in?”

START with fitting YOU in…. FIRST thing in the morning. YOU.

Everything else will feel so much easier. I promise.

MY MOTHER’S DAY MIRACLE

May 25, 2017May 25, 2017 by Angie Gray Leave a comment

On May 4th, 2017 my two eldest daughters and I went to the island of Vieques in Puerto Rico. We spent six days experiencing beautiful tropical weather, beaches, rainforest hikes, bodysurfing, great food, and snapping tons of selfies!

This was the first time I had ever been anywhere with just the two eldest of our seven children.

We all did great staying off our phones during the trip–making just the nightly calls to check-in at home (me to Todd and the three kids still at home, and Shannon and Abby to their families ❤️).

THEY LOVE ME

On the way home, we had time to post all our pics of all the mother-daughter amazingness!!
Maybe you saw them?

Jumping in the air at the beach?
Laughing at the cliffs?
At the seaside farm to plate restaurants?
Baking (with sunscreen!) in the sun?
On our back-road mountain climbing car rides to the rainforest?

Sounds amazing, yes? Truth be told, it WAS amazing!!!

MY MOTHER’S DAY MIRACLE

One year ago, I would never have in a million years thought that my girls would have ever considered traveling out of the country with ME would be appealing. I know in their hearts it would have been a HOPE but most likely they would have never entertained it.

A LOT HAS CHANGED IN A YEAR

This trip was actually Shannon’s (our eldest) idea. She asked ME! I said YES! Then we asked Abby, and when she was a go, it was a done deal.

These two women, my daughters, have grown up with me.

I was pregnant with Shannon as a senior in high school and had Abby at 23. Growing up they had decisions made for them, by me, that were not easy to navigate at times. They loved me. They did not LIKE me. It was more like tolerated me 🙂 That was until this last year.

WHAT WE DIDN’T POST

The not so pretty part of mother-daughter love.

Is it because they are like me in ways, and don’t want to be?
Is it because they still feel the pain of those decisions that were made for them growing up?
Is it that I really AM annoying and over the top and pushy and bossy and too happy and not enough?

ALL THE ABOVE IS TRUE….at times.

They love me and like me (most of the time ), and they are my BEST friends.

WHAAT??!!!

I can’t even believe I get to say that!!!

So that’s it, my mama bear friends.

KEEP UP THE GOOD AND IMPORTANT WORK

Keep learning to love yourself and remembering how amazing you are.
Keep reminding yourself how worthy YOU are.
Tell your daughter EVERY DAY how worthy SHE IS.
Teach them to love themselves, by example.
You will get through the not so fun times.
They love you.
Be real, be honest, be wrong.
Teach them to breathe fire.
They are watching.

YOU ARE A KICK ASS MAMA THAT IS CHANGING THE WORLD!

FLOW – The Morning Routine that Makes Everything Fall Into Place

May 24, 2017May 24, 2017 by Angie Gray Leave a comment

Having a business AND OR a healthy lifestyle that is SUSTAINABLE is key to its success.

Since I started full time 3 years ago, as a Holistic Wellness Coach, I have learned so much!

At the top of that list of lessons learned is Keep IT SIMPLE.

Furthermore, I am so much more of my best me when I CHOOSE ME FIRST.

It is so true that, putting on your own O2 mask first, is KEY to the value you bring to yourself and to those you love and care about….like these amazing humans in the picture taken just this last weekend on Mother’s Day 😊

For me, making my self-care a priority first thing in the morning; this makes everything else FLOW.

Hot lemon water, first thing
Coffee (1 cup, black )
Morning meditation (THIS IS A NON-NEGOTIOABLE — more on this below)
Morning workout (yoga or my favorite workout DVD)

NOW BRING ON THE DAY!

I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR WHAT YOUR MORNING ROUTINE IS!

Please leave me a comment below 😊

My Long-Term Vision

April 9, 2017April 9, 2017 by Angie Gray Leave a comment

What do Alexander Graham Bell, the Wright brothers, Eleanor Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King, Toni Morrison, Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Billie Jean King, and Dr. Myron Wentz have in common?

LONG-TERM VISION

There are NO quitters in this bunch.

22 years ago I agreed to partner with Dr. Myron Wentz and USANA Health Sciences. I have a story to share, a vision to see through, and I am loving the journey!

Dr. Wentz had a long term vision. He enticed me to partner with him on that vision through his willingness to share his story. A man sharing his story and his vision to free the world of degenerative disease.

I AM SO GRATEFUL

to have partnered with Dr. Wentz and with his hope and intention of bringing great value to the world and to serving humankind.

USANA has been my vehicle to experience things I would never have imagined.

To build relationships with beautiful human beings and to help them tell THEIR story. To serve others through all that I have learned from USANA. To create new financial freedoms, experience wellness in all forms and to help others around the world to do the same.

Through USANA, I get to be part of a global vision that is making a positive difference in the lives of people I know, and those I will never know.

If you (or someone you know) align with the above and want to know more about how this amazing partnership with USANA has expanded abundance in my life, my families and a tribe of like-minded humans globally, I would LOVE to connect 💕

Breaking Through Self Doubt

October 23, 2016April 9, 2017 by Angie Gray Leave a comment

I felt stuck for a week, and yesterday I had a breakthrough

I am shifting in my business and it FEELS DIFFERENT.

For 2 weeks it felt, not so good. Sluggish.

What if no one does anything? If I switch my focus and follow the well-being, I know that leads me, but will I reach my goals?

For all of these questions I already had the answers, but the SHIFT can really rattle a girl for a minute!

Growth feels different and sometimes it feels bittersweet. It is necessary as I CHOOSE to move forward but the FEELING, because it is new, can feel uncomfortable. So riding it out is a CHOICE.

I choose to ride it out, because, from experience, I know that I am SHIFTING and getting ready for the next level of ME. The feeling of “pressure” isn’t a bad thing. A diamond doesn’t get to be a diamond, without some pressure.

The breakthrough happened, and the FEELING is SO GOOD.

I CHOOSE TO TRUST MY JOURNEY! It NEVER lets me down! Whoop! Whoop!

Let me know if YOU know, what I’m talking about in the comments box below??

Please listen to one of my 3 favorite mentors, Marie Forleo. Marie is the role model who I believe I will be sitting with one day!

They watch everything we do – the good stuff and the bad. They learn even when we don’t realize we’re teaching. This is why it is so important to lead by example. We need to be the people we hope our children grow up to be. I’m not saying you have to be perfect. Let them see you make mistakes, so you can show them how you take responsibility for your actions and solve problems. Show them how to be kind by helping someone in need. Make time for what matters in life by putting your family first and prioritizing activities that make your soul happy. And, make sure your children see you taking care of yourself – both mentally and physically….
