Amway Gives Stanford University $10 million For First Of Its Kind Study On Health

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Stanford University will undertake a first-of-its kind study to track how everything from exercising to eating fresh produce can lengthen a human lifespan. Amway is picking up tab.
The direct sales giant is donating $10 million for the new Stanford project, WELL, short for Wellness Living Laboratory, which will launch next year.
The program will focus on wellness, rather than diseases, with the hypothesis that promoting wellness thwarts diseases, Dr. John Ioannidis, the head of the Stanford Prevention Research Center, told Scope, a Stanford Medical School publication.
He added that participants will track and report much of their information remotely and digitally. They also will have the opportunity to enroll in a variety of clinical trials to test various interventions, such as nutrition counseling or smoking cessation programs.
What is unusual about this study is that it is designed to monitor the health of people over a five year period, or longer.
“It really helps us understand how we characterize wellness,” said Audra Davies, vice president of nutrition product development and analytical sciences for Amway.

“What is it that is keeping people well, and helping them to thrive. What are the important characteristics. There is a strong interest in understanding biomarkers of health. It is

Visalus’ Mike & Shirley Wrenn Reach $1 Million In Lifetime Earnings

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Visalus’ Mike and Shirley Wrenn are the newest distributors to reach $1 million in career earnings. 
It’s an accomplishment that has come with hard work and dedication, but the results have been better than they ever imagined.

“When we first started promoting The Challenge, we knew we had found the opportunity of a lifetime,” says Mike.

Since then, the Wrenns have made sure to make every day count–for themselves and for their team.
They’ve constantly focused on the team members that need encouragement, and have showed each one of them that they believe in their success.
“We always make sure to help our team overcome obstacles,” says Mike.
They do this based on their own experience. As real estate brokers and investors, Mike and Shirley were able to fill a void with Vi, especially when the market went on a downward spiral several years ago.

“There were months that we had to tap into our savings to pay bills,” says Mike.
“We knew that we needed to find a Plan B that would carry us through the tough times,” he adds.

Vi became a great fit for their family. Nowadays, they’re working just as hard as day one, but enjoy the fruits of their labor even more.
In fact, Mike shared three tips that new

FTC Cracks Down On Advertising And Claims, Potentially Affecting Network Marketing

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
The chairwoman of the Federal Trade Commission, Edith Ramirez, has announced that the FTC is significantly increasing scrutiny and enforcement of mainstream advertising by reputable companies. Chairwoman Ramirez recently said that the FTC is increasing enforcement against not only “outright fraud,” but also national advertising campaigns.
The FTC’s recent approach of vigorous false advertising enforcement is intended to support the goal that, as the chairwoman stated, “advertising must be truthful and non-deceptive.”
As part of this aggressive push, the FTC has launched “Operation Full Disclosure,” a truth-in-advertising campaign that already includes FTC-issued “warning letters” to more than 60 companies regarding inadequate disclosures in their advertising. The sweeping goal stated by Chairwoman Ramirez suggests that even credible advertising claims may encounter FTC investigation, saying that the FTC will push its campaign “until we are confident the industry understands the need for ‘clear and conspicuous’ disclosures, and what ‘clear and conspicuous’ means.” It is important to note that the FTC has clearly  said that not receiving a “Full Disclosure” letter doesn’t mean anything: you could still be in the crosshairs.
What Does This Mean To Companies?
The FTC’s statements and actions are consistent with a broader trend we have observed of increasing FTC actions against

A recent study by J. D. Power and Associates has found that Ambit Energy, an electric and natural gas provider, receives consistently high marks in customer satisfaction. The study, based on a survey of energy consumers in nine different states, collected data for almost a year.
From September 2013 to June 2014, J. D. Power and Associates collected information from 25,757 customers for their 2014 Retail Electric Provider Residential Customer Satisfaction Study. The results found that the Ambit Energy reviews were consistently at the top of the ranks.
