NFL Player Shares How Isagenix Helped During ACL Recovery
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
“I tore my ACL two years ago and spent half of the season in 2012 in rehab,” explains former Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Martin. “I was doing my rehab and getting back in shape at the gym to give the NFL another run when I noticed that the owner was selling Isagenix.”
Martin thought it was another “one of those things” and didn’t pay much attention to the product. While building muscle for recovery, Martin was frequently in and out of many gyms. That’s when he noticed Isagenix popping up at fitness centers.
“The trainers were getting results with Isagenix,” shares the free agent for the NFL. “But, again, I chalked it up to, ‘You only drink a shake instead of eating food. Of course you’re going to lose weight.’”
Martin shrugged it off without understanding the system, especially since he wasn’t looking to lose weight. It wasn’t until another trip to a different gym that he noticed Isagenix showing up again.
“With reputable gyms supporting these products, it seemed liked I should give it try without jumping to conclusions about the system only being about weight loss,” shares Martin.

Amway India’s CEO Released From Jail After 2 Months
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Direct-selling company Amway India on Monday said its MD and CEO William S Pinckney has been released on bail, two months after his arrest by Andhra Pradesh Police in connection with criminal cases registered against the firm in the state.
A spokesperson of Amway said Pinckney has been granted bail in all the cases in Andhra Pradesh.
Commenting on the development in a joint statement, Amway chairman Steve Van Andel and president Doug DeVos said: “The release of Amway India CEO Bill Pinckney is a great relief.”
They, however, added they were “profoundly dismayed that this unnecessary detention occurred at all, and are even more troubled that it lasted so long”.
Amway regional president, Europe, South Africa & India Samir Behl said: “His arrest and long detention was unnecessary and unreasonable. We will vigorously defend ourselves at trial.”
Pinckney was arrested on May 26 from Amway India’s headquarters at Gurgaon and later was produced before a court in district Kurnool, which sent him to judicial custody after rejecting his bail plea.
He was subsequently arrested in other criminal cases registered against him in the state on allegations of financial irregularities by Amway, a charge contested by the company.
“Our focus is squarely on efforts to ensure that
