Iowa Man Wins Fight For His Healthier Life

Sam is the ultimate fighter.

After suffering from excruciating back pain that led to surgery, Sam developed a life-threatening bacterial infection that cost him two years in a hospital, 20 days in a comma and the amputation of both his feet.

Uncertain of his future and unable to work, Sam began to collect a monthly disability paycheck that barely put food on the table. His grocery list consisted of whatever was on sale and inexpensive carbohydrates like pasta.

“Eating became a crutch,” he says. “It made me feel better.”

With Sam’s previous health problems and poor eating habits, he was sleeping more and getting out less. He was quickly becoming a recluse.

He was ready for change.

During Sam’s free time he volunteered at a local hospital where he found joy helping others. It was there that he also met Holly D., the 2011 IsaBody Challenge® winner.

Holly recommended that he check out Isagenix® products and the IsaBody Challenge.

Excited about what he just heard from Holly, Sam went home to research the products even further. He found himself moved by the many success stories he read and the company’s commitment to health and wellness, so he decided to try it out for himself. Starting on the 30-Day Cleansing and Fat Burning System, Sam soon dropped 20 pounds.*

He quickly noticed a drastic increase in his energy level, he felt like he was thinking more clearly, sleeping better and even his knees felt better. Thrilled by his initial results, Sam enrolled in the IsaBody Challenge.

“I start each morning with a vanilla IsaLean® Shake, sometimes mixing it up by adding strawberries or bananas. But I really enjoyed the Cleanse Days,” he says. “For some reason I’m able to accomplish more on those days.”

At the end of the 24-week Challenge Sam had released 48 pounds* and went from a size 44 to a size 38* waistline. His amazing strides earned him second-place in the Men’s 50+ Category of the 2011 Challenge.

Stoked by his many victories Sam has reclaimed his life. He’s even discovered a new passion for wheelchair racing and handcycling. His most recent handcycling race spanned 56 miles, which took him around Des Moines, Iowa.

In addition to his healthier and happier attitude, Sam has also decided to take his life in a whole new direction. Soon he will be moving to Tucson, Ariz. where he can enjoy more of the great outdoors year round.
