Chiropractor Overcomes Challenges of Family Tragedy and Economy Thanks To Isagenix®

When California chiropractor Dr. Steve saw best-selling author John Gray speak about Isagenix in 2005, he had no idea that it would lead him to leave his California practice, create greater financial security and discover his life’s true purpose.

Originally attending the event simply to learn how to include Nutritional Cleansing with Isagenix into his practice, the now 59-year-old doctor was interested in what John had to say, but then left the information on a shelf in his office and never did anything. It wasn’t until a few months later when the father of seven faced what no parent ever dreams will happen to them: his 19-year-old son passed away, leaving Steve’s world upside down.

“I would literally be in tears with some of my patients,” recalls Steve, who admits that he often struggled just to get out of bed in the morning. “I became very frustrated because I really took pride in motivating my patients and I couldn’t even motivate myself.”

Recalling when John shared how important taking care of his body was for his overall emotional health, the grieving father decided to give the Cleansing and Fat Burning System a try. He felt as if a light was switched on and by the fourth day, he couldn’t wait to get out of bed. Steve went on to lose 12 pounds* and regained vitality that had been missing since his son’s death.

“Isagenix and John Gray changed my life,” shares Steve. “It’s made me more focused; more motivated and really gave me back my purpose in life.”

Inspired by his own personal experience, he began hosting weekly cleansing workshops with his patients and discovered that he found true joy in helping them transform their bodies. Coupled with the income he was beginning to create with his Isagenix business, he realized the powerful opportunity he had to really make a difference in people’s lives.

After six months of working both businesses, Steve sold his practice to his partner to focus on Isagenix full time. By the second year he had replaced his previous salary and now generates a hefty, six-figure income** with his wife, a full-time trauma nurse. Thanks to their Isagenix income, the couple was able to purchase and move into a scenic beach house in Southern California, which also serves as headquarters for their business.

The self-proclaimed “Doctor of Isagenix” has built a $200,000-a-year** business creating step-by-step training programs for doctors and their staff on how to incorporate Isagenix into their practices. Another plus? As a 28-year Chiropractor, Steve is certain that his income would have taken a substantial hit because of the down economy, but thanks to his Isagenix business, he’s still experiencing financial success.

The former chiropractor is also proud to no longer have to trade time for money and says his six kids and 10 grandkids will inherit the security of a successful business when the time comes.

“I feel like my son’s death turned into something good,” shares Steve. “When I was practicing I had fun because I was inspiring and motivating people. I feel like I’ve been able to replace that excitement with Isagenix on a daily basis.”
