Protein and Meal Replacements Increasing in Demand Between 2009 and 2014, protein has become one of consumer health’s most in-demand ingredients with a sales increase of 59.3%, according to Euromonitor. Additionally, meal replacements are the highest selling weight management supplement today! Both trends are forecasted to stay on the incline for the foreseeable future as people invest in fitness and grow increasingly aware of their health.
Recognizing this trend, Synergy WorldWide decided to meet two global consumer demands with SLMsmart Health Shake, a delicious meal replacement mix with 26 grams of protein in every serving. But what is it that’s making protein and meal replacements a household necessity? WHY PROTEIN?
The human body is stacked with protein. Proteins exist in the outer and inner membranes of every living cell and also make an appearance in:
Muscle tissue
Bones
Red blood cells and plasma
Hair and nails
The body needs protein to make enzymes, which do a number of jobs in the body, including digesting food and making new cells. Perhaps one of the most important jobs that proteins have are creating neurotransmitters, which are responsible for sending messages back and forth from nerve cells to other specialized cells, such as muscle cells.
As people are predicted to continue making fitness a priority, protein will increase in importance because it is essential in supporting muscle growth. While SLMsmart Health Shake was designed by in-house scientists to support weight management programs, many have turned to SLMsmart for its protein content and nutrients.
WHY MEAL REPLACEMENTS?
As people find their schedules more and more hectic, it can be tough to constantly stress over proper nutrition, especially when trying to control their weight. That’s why an increasing number of people are reaching for meal replacement shakes, which are nutrient-dense and can help fill the gaps created by an incomplete diet through an easy-to-mix shake. Add in the convenience factor of being able to stash a serving or two in your purse or car and you have the recipe for a quick, delicious alternative to skipping a meal or overindulging in a less healthy restaurant option.
Whether you’re looking for an easy weight management solution or a convenient way to fill nutritional voids, Health Shake can show you why meal replacements are skyrocketing in popularity. Incorporate this mix into your daily routine to satisfy your chocolate and vanilla cravings while staying on track to a healthier you. Whether you use SLMsmart for nutrition, weight management or fitness, it’s full of the healthy essentials your body craves with a taste you love.

Elite Honors Spotlight: Steve & Julie Russon
Month after month, Team Members are discovering just how much is attainable when they set a goal to become Elite Honors Qualified each month. Team Members who have qualified multiple months are seeing the fruits of their labors and some are going the extra mile by maintaining their highest pin titles to earn the Go Elite promotion bonus. Steve and Julie Russon, Silvers from Pleasant Grove, Utah, recently achieved Elite Honors for the third time and received the Go Elite bonus twice. This hardworking is couple has been with Synergy for 2 ½ years and is not lacking in personality. Steve competes in Scottish games, always sporting a kilt with a Synergy T-shirt, and Julie keeps herself busy supporting their three children and one grandson. In addition, Steve works as the first assist to an orthopedic surgeon and sees the many ailments people suffer from on a daily basis.
“When we first heard about the Elite Honors model, it seemed familiar, like this is what we were supposed to be doing anyway. Before Elite Honors, we were working, but we were floundering. When Elite Honors was launched, we were really focused on making the customer volume work and focused on getting the signups. It has been a great guide for us. Every day, my husband and I wake up and decide what we need to do to achieve Elite Honors and then we say “Where do we want to go?” It is a morning habit now, like eating breakfast or brushing teeth.
Through Elite Honors, we’ve learned the business building process; we’ve learned how to focus and how to get organized. However, we had to decide that we didn’t want any another option, we wanted this to work. The program has been easy enough and is the reason we wake up with a fixed idea in our minds each morning of what we will accomplish that day. Remember, nothing ever comes easy and it’s a gradual process.
I have a serious appreciation for how devoted Synergy’s leaders are and how they express what Synergy has done for them. Because of this, the Synergy dream is believable and it’s possible. Synergy is a company that will never rip you off. It’s a company that cares and it’s an environment of caring for others.”

Elite Honors Spotlight: Judy Feldhausen
With three Elite Honors qualification months behind us, Team Members are continuing to discover just how much is attainable when they set a goal to become Elite Honors Qualified each month. Team Members who have qualified multiple months are seeing the fruits of their labors and some are going the extra mile by maintaining their highest pin titles to earn the Go Elite promotion bonus.
Click here to learn how to become Elite Honors Qualified and earn a Go Elite bonus. Judy Feldhausen, a Silver from Chicago, became Elite Honors Qualifed for the second month in a row and recently earned a $300 Go Elite bonus for maintaining her highest pin title. Though Judy is busy helping her husband with his electrical contracting business, working as a life coach, and traveling to and from Colorado every other month to see her grandchildren, she makes time to actively pursue the Synergy business she has been building for more than two years. Over the last few months, Judy said Elite Honors has helped simplify business building and the way the business is explained to incoming distributors.
“The system has been explained in a very simplistic manner, one that anyone could understand. It makes people understand where their sales need to come from. For me, I like being able to have three areas to focus on. I’ll start with one area of focus, maybe customers, and once that area has been satisfied for the month, I move onto the next thing. Before Elite Honors, my goals were centered around achieving the next pin level. This goal hasn’t changed, but now there is an interim action item that will help me achieve that next level. I’m taking it one bite at a time.
Not only am I trying to achieve Elite Honors Qualification every month, Synergy gives me the help I need to support my team, which lets me know that Team Members and Synergy Headquarters are working as a team. When I support my team I don’t catch a fish for them. I teach them how to catch a fish. If a Team Member is trained well and given all of the resources they need to succeed, Elite Honors is absolutely attainable.”
