STUDY GUIDE
HEALTHY LIFESTYLE INSIDE AND OUT
The presentation cards for the Healthy Lifestyle Inside and Out presentation is actually two presentations in one.
The first presentation is focused on educating and demonstrating the Arbonne Essentials product line and then
briefly discussing the RE9 anti-aging line. The second presentation is focused on educating and demonstrating the
RE9 anti-aging line and then briefly discussing the Arbonne Essentials product line.
Both presentations use the same opening and closing. The setup of your product display is the same for both
presentations. The only difference is if you are doing a RE9 focus and demonstration you will have your guests
wash their face and apply the RE9 cellular renewal mask prior to starting the presentation.
The goal of both of these presentations is to offer a service to our clients. A service of EDUCATION. We want to
explain first why these types of products are needed, secondly we want to explain why they should switch their
brand to Arbonne. This document is going to provide a more in depth explanation of why these products are
needed and what sets Arbonne apart from all other products in the market today. If you study the contents of this
document before you use the presentation cards you will be able to share these two incredible product lines with
CONFIDENCE.
ARBONNE ESSENTIALS:
WHY DO WE NEED THESE KINDS OF PRODUCTS:
W HAT IS THE PROBLEM ?
Americans are over nourished but malnourished (not enough of the right kind of nutrients and biotics…we
eat a lot of empty calories).
The #1 killer of both men and women in the United States is heart disease.
2 out of every 3 North Americans are overweight, obese or morbidly obese and the problem is getting
worse. 1/3 of our children are obese.
Obesity is the leading cause of PREVENTABLE death! Americans spend over 100 billion on medical care
related to obesity!!
These problems lead to diabetes, hypertension, strokes, dementia, Alzheimer’s, numerous cancers,
cravings, constipation, acne, fatigue, Irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's, and numerous autoimmune
diseases like lupus, arthritis, etc…
YOU CANNOT OUT EXERCISE A BAD DIET. You have to decrease your toxic load and increase your nutrients to
truly obtain a wellness state…creating health!
W E NEED TO D ETOXIFY OUR BODIES
So why detoxify…how does it help you? Bath tub analogy >>Our body is like a bathtub, the water faucet brings
(toxins in); and the drain (lets the toxins out). When it is running at a normal pace, we don’t have as much of a
problem. When we are in overload and the drain is plugged, the tub gradually fills up and spills over the sides. This
is when people get SICK and you are given a MOP (medicine) which can add more toxins & have side effects. We
believe most people want to lose weight and feel good but they don’t REALLY understand how to achieve true
health & vitality. Toxins are what lock up the fat cells! To have effective weight loss, we have to unplug the drain
(detox) by nutritionally cleansing. When you get rid of the toxins the FAT CAN MELT AWAY!
SIMPLY PUT…
Toxins come from stressors like emotional distress, the environment, processed foods, extra weight and being
inactive.
Stress leads to toxic build up which leads to inflammation which leads to the disease process.
Decreasing stressors/toxins will decrease inflammation which will decrease disease breeding ground…creating
health!
W ITH OUR H EALTHY L IVING P LAN WE ARE GOING TO ADD 5 K EY AREAS OF FITNESS INTO OUR
LIFESTYLE :
EAT CLEAN ---we focus on more organic whole foods free of preservatives, additives, pesticides, hormones,
antibiotics, artificial flavors and other toxins, Food is either fuel or poison.
INCREASE NUTIRENT INTAKE – because of fast food, prepackaged foods the US is the MOST overweight,
malnourished country out there!!! We are carrying toxic fat while our bodies are starving for real nutrition
– we will reverse this condition.
DECREASE ALLERGENIC and ADDICTIVE FOODS – we will decrease allergenic foods like gluten, soy,
dairy and processed sugars.
BALANCE BLOOD SUGAR – we will eat to balance our blood sugar to reduce food cravings.
SUPPORT EILIMINATION ORGANS – we will support the body’s four elimination pathways – the liver,
kidneys, intestines and your largest detoxifying organ, your skin. Letting these organs perform optimally!
Remember, WE are TURNING THE FAUCET OFF/slowing it down – stopping/slowing the TOXINS coming into our
BODY while unplugging the drain…CREATING HEALTH!!!
If you lose weight and do not decrease the toxins in your body your body actually becomes more toxic because the
distribution of toxins to body weight is higher. Think of a tablespoon of salt in a gallon of water vs a tablespoon of
salt in a cup of water. The beauty of using a healthy nutritional cleansing system like Arbonne is that you are
eliminating toxic stores from the body while losing weight
(Teaspoon of salt in a cup of water)
When the concentration of toxins increases the body tries to protect you by storing the excess toxins in fat, it will
create more fat if you do not have enough to accommodate all of the toxins thus leading to more weight gain!
There are 3 ways for toxins to enter your body
Food and Drink
Air we breathe
Products you put on your skin
Which do you think is the most damaging? (Most will say Food)
Actually it’s the skin because topical application is absorbed into the bloodstream within 26 seconds and the toxins
go through the entire body before they get to the liver to be filtered out.
Arbonne has you covered inside and out. Our philosophy is WHOLE BODY HEALTH!
GOOD THINGS TO KNOW: FAST FACTS!
YOU CANNOT OUT EXERCISE A BAD DIET. You have to decrease your toxic load and increase your nutrients to
truly obtain a wellness state!
Eating 3 healthy meals and healthy snacks will help you lose weight…not skipping meals.
What we are teaching prevents drops in blood sugar (keeps your sugar balanced which prevents cravings &
binges) and keeps your metabolism pumped up.
Small meals prevent your body from going into protection mode from lack of nutrients and stops your body from
storing extra fat.
Stressors are the root source of disease
Stress on the body causes inflammation which is at the root of many disease processes like heart disease,
rheumatoid arthritis, colon problems, auto-immune disease, etc.
Being sick is expensive! Americans spend over 100 billion on medical care related to obesity alone. Lowering your
body weight by as little as 7% can take away a medication. A typical hypertension regime is over $10,000 a year!
The BEST FACT is:
You are in control of 90% of your health?
Genetics is only 10% of body appearance & overall health.
Training and Exercise is 10%
Nutrition is 80% of your results!
W HY USE A RBONNE INSTEAD OF JUST EATING CLEAN ?
You could purchase and prepare healthy food choices that decrease toxic load and increase nutrients for all meals,
snacks and drinks. However, this takes a lot of time and money and most will not do it!
Or YOU CAN BE VEGAN 2/3 of the time and LOVE IT!
We show our clients how to SAVE BOTH TIME AND MONEY by choosing the Arbonne essentials.
Arbonne has done all the work and has made eating clean EASY and affordable!!
We provide complete, balanced nutrition that maximizes absorption and effectiveness.
We deliver RESULTS while being PURE SAFE and BENEFICIAL
WHY USE THE BRAND ARBONNE? WHAT SETS US APART?
Top 5 reasons:
We do not use Whey or Soy as our protein source – we use Yellow Peas, Cranberry and Brown Rice Protein
We do not use artificial sweetners – we use Stevia which is an herb
We do not use any Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
We are Gluten Free
We are Vegan Certified
W E DO NOT USE W HEY OR S OY AS OUR PROTEIN SOURCE – WE USE Y ELLOW P EAS , C RANBERRY AND
B ROWN R ICE P ROTEIN
Whey & Soy vs Arbonne Vegan (yellow pea, brown rice & cranberry) Protein
Soy is allergenic, cannot be used to build muscle because of its low incorporation levels, it contains phytoestrogens
that can lead to estrogen dominance which leads to fatigue, weight gain, insomnia, increase risk for chronic disease
and feminization of men.
Whey is a milk derivative, it is allergenic (not just a milk allergy), it is loaded with bovine white blood cells. it is
HARD TO DIGEST so it can deposit in the intestinal track and colon and it can lead to long term kidney and liver
problems.
Arbonne Vegetable (yellow pea, brown rice & cranberry COMBINED) protein is the most easily digestible protein,
without the allergic reactions (100% hypoallergenic) that dairy & egg protein creates. Because it is so digestible, it
decreases gas and bloating and can be absorb and used to create muscle, promote healing, etc.
Arbonne Protein has an Amino Acid Score of 100 = HIGH QUALITY!
Amino Acid Score is a method for evaluating the relative nutritional quality of different protein sources based on
the protein digestibility and usability. If you can't digest it, you can't USE IT or ELIMINATE IT properly! Amino
Acid scores <100 = Low quality protein sources. Amino Acid scores >100 = HighQuality.
W E DO NOT USE ARTIFICIAL SWEETNERS
We use Stevia which is an herb that is 200 times sweeter than sugar and does not raise blood sugar.
W E DO NOT USE ANY G ENETICALLY M ODIFIED O RGANISMS (GMO S )
Genetically Modified Organisms are plants that have been genetically altered by artificially changing the plants
DNA. These genetic alterations allow the plant to be resistant to pesticides that are sprayed on the fields. The
pesticides kill all the surrounding weeds but the pesticide soaked GMO plant survives. Another type of alteration is
done to make the plant produce its OWN pesticide – this pesticide is in every cell of the plant.
W E ARE G LUTEN F REE
Gluten is a protein found in the grains wheat, barley, and rye. Most of us unknowingly love it, because gluten gives
our favorite foods that special touch: It makes pizza dough stretchy, gives bread its spongy texture, and is used to
thicken sauces and soups.
A severe reaction to gluten is called celiac disease. People with celieac disease treat gluten as a malicious invader
and mount an immune response, the problem is, this immune reaction ends up damaging the small intestine, which
causes both great gastrointestinal distress and nutritional deficiencies. People with a milder reaction to gluten
have a gluten sensitivity. Gluten sensitivity doesn’t damage the intestine but does cause gastrointestinal distress
like stomach cramps, diarrhea, and bloating.
If you are sensitive to gluten, it is not only important to avoid gluten in your diet but also in the products you use
on your body like skin care and shampoo. If gluten is contained in those products it is absorbed into your
bloodstream!
W E ARE V EGAN C ERTIFIED
Many know why vegan certification is important for the food we eat, but why is it important for our skin care?
Vegan means no animal ingredients or animal by-products – nothing that is produced by an animal
including eggs, milk, etc.
Most skin care products have animal products and by products.
Animal byproducts come from animal rendering processing plants (centers):
Rancher – wants to sell Grade A meat, Grade B meat – dog food, Cows too sick to be fed to human
or dog/cats goes to rendering or Cow just dies of natural causes – covered in maggots – goes to
rendering, Horses too
Road Kill – Opossum, dog, cat, squirrel, deer also go to rendering
Euthanized animals – collars/needles (don’t have labor to remove) (drugs are in the animals) also
go to rendering.
Used Restaurant Grease
Grocery Store Spoiled Meat all goes to rendering plant.
Rendering Plants are a Necessity to dispose of these animals but it doesn’t need to be used for human
consumption or absorption!
All are put in Grinders – whole form – skin, hoofs, maggots, and poop – boiled down to brown goop that
then is sold off as filler for cosmetics/shampoo/vitamins
Shimmer in lipsticks are often fish scales
If your product doesn’t say VEGAN – it doesn’t matter that it says “natural”, animal feces is natural, it
probably contains rendering plant product
It is not easy to tell if you are using products that include animal byproducts. For example: have you ever
heard of stearic acid in your ingredients? Stearic Acid is a fat from either a plant or an animal source. So
unless it says vegan it’s probably rendered animal fat.
Skin is the largest organ of our body. What we put on our skin is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream,
without being filtered by the liver and kidneys first!
Why in the world would we put something on our skin or our lips that we wouldn’t eat?
Arbonne doesn’t add artificial fragrances or perfume because we have nothing to hide – perfume is often
used to hide the animal smells.
A RBONNE IS FREE OF HARMFUL CHEMICALS AND MINERAL OIL
The sun is the worst thing for the skin in aging it prematurely
Mineral oil is next in line – mineral oil is the same thing as Petroleum Jelly
The molecular structure is too large to penetrate the skin so it just lies on top of the skin and seals it
Mineral oil seals out the good ingredients that may be included in the product, so you are not benefiting from the
good ingredients.
Mineral oil seals in the toxins that we want out of our bodies thru our skin. Like saran wrap around our skin drying
it out and not letting it breathe
Dr Oz says that “Petroleum jelly is a byproduct of oil drilling, and when you spread it on your lips; you end
up eating it, which is essentially the same as drinking gasoline. Add up the amount of lip gloss the
average woman uses (and consumes) over a decade, and it equals 7 pounds. The European Union has
banned many petroleum jelly products, and experts are concerned they could be linked to cancer. Women
with breast cancer have twice the levels of hydrocarbons (substances found in petroleum jelly) in their
breasts than women who haven't had breast cancer.”
Arbonne uses essential oils – (e.g. rose oil, olive oil, etc)
Arbonne goes by European Standards
Just like the US – if go to EU (European Union) website you will find cosmetics are not regulated – but unlike US
they have banned 1100 products from being used in cosmetics/skin care because they find them to be harmful to
humans.
Benezene – derivative of petroleum – KNOWN CARCINIGEN – proven to cause cancer in humans
Why is benzene allowed in soaps and skin products IN THE US? IT SPECIFICALLY STATES IN ARBONNE’S
CATALOG THAT WE DO NOT USE BENZENE -ARBONNE NEVER USES PETROLEUM DERIVED PRODUCTS
Our goal is to educate so that our clients can make healthier choices for their family. The benefit of Arbonne is we get to offer
healthier choices and products that also get PROVEN RESULTS
You can go to whole foods today and that is fine, but what makes arbonne so very special Is they have taken the best of Nature and
combined it with truly advanced scientific technology so that you get incredible products that deliver results.
Arbonne only makes products that are PURE, SAFE, and BENEFICIAL

Probiotics are simply good bacteria that we want in our intestinal track. Our digestive system
normally has what we would call "good" bacteria and "bad" bacteria. Maintaining the correct balance
between the "good" bacteria and the "bad" bacteria is necessary for optimal health. Things like
medications, diet, diseases, and your environment can upset that balance.
