“I had a really challenged body and my health was a wreck,” she remembers. “Everything hurt. I felt defeated.”
A Fresh Outlook
Gina was looking into the idea of cleansing as a way to improve her health. In 2006, she met Carol, who introduced her to Isagenix.
Gina agreed to start a 30-Day System, complete with a cleanse, to see how it would benefit her body. Not only did she lose 4 dress sizes after using the products,* but her overall health also began to improve.
While initially unreceptive of Gina’s new discovery, her husband Scott eventually agreed to try Isagenix with her.
“I started three months after she did because you couldn’t argue with the results,” recalls Scott. “It was like I got a new wife. She was totally healthy and feeling good.”

“I was very happy about that,” he shares. “I’m healthier at age 55 than I was at age 35.”

“Our program is like Tupperware’s, but it’s high end,” Boisset said over lunch in New York.

The kit includes Riedel glasses, wine fact sheets and a corkscrew. Because of byzantine U.S. wine regulations, the host orders the tasting package of five or six wines through an ambassador such as Howng, buying one of the eight offered or a custom mix at
