Elite Honors Spotlight: Pamela & Terry Stovall
The second month to qualify for Elite Honors came to an impressive close and dozens of names were added to the Elite Honors Club qualifiers list! A handful of Team Members qualified for the second month in a row. In addition, a number of qualifiers are going even further by maintaining and surpassing their highest pin titles to earn the Go Elite Promotion. Pamela & Terry Stovall, Silvers from New Mexico, have been with Synergy WordWide for four years, but stayed with company to enjoy the product benefits rather than take advantage of the business opportunity. The launch of Elite Honors was just what they needed to spark their interest in working the Synergy business. Terry said his upline’s enthusiasm for Elite Honors is what ignited his spark. Since engaging in the business, Pamela and Terry realized just how many people out there can benefit from what Synergy has to offer.
“They are so many people looking for an opportunity that will change their life, and I had no idea these people existed. I met many of these people over the last two months and they have become customers and distributors who are excited about Elite Honors. First, these customers and distributors realized that through Elite Honors they can make good money. Second, they knew the products were even more amazing than they initially realized. And third, they realized that $300 per month is just the beginning of what they can earn each month. It was exciting for them to know
that they could earn $600, then $900 and beyond. This was key to their excitement. They realized Synergy is different than other companies and could make a difference in their lives.
The excitement around Elite Honors continues to build when we get together in meetings. There is a lot of excitement in these meetings about Synergy in general. When others realize this explosion of enthusiasm they will be drawn to it.
Go Elite is a great incentive for me. I earned it in June, but didn’t quite make it in July. I’ve decided that in August I will rise to the level of success I had in June. Everyone wants to raise the bar on themselves and when you meet the Elite Honors level you want to do it again and again. This keeps the business alive and thriving.”
Have you ever found yourself asking, “Do I really need supplements? If so, which ones do I need?” With so many vitamins and minerals to choose from, you may feel overwhelmed with which vitamins and minerals you should take.
When first choosing a supplement, you’ll need to decide between a vegetarian or a gelatin capsule. Vegetarian capsules are plant based while gelatin capsules contain animal byproducts. Gelatin capsules are said to be better for your joints, but in the end, it’s just a matter of personal preference.
Here are five core vitamins you should consider including in your diet:
Multivitamin. A multivitamin is an excellent way to ensure you are getting all your nutrients as it’s designed to fill in nutritional gaps. When deciding what multivitamin to take, pick one that is high quality and has a high potency.
Calcium. This mineral is important for building strong bones, teeth, and gums. Most of the time you will find combination Cal/Mag/Zinc (Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc) supplements, which are great for added nutrients. Speak with your doctor to know which calcium supplement is the best option for you. Omega-3 Fatty Acid. Considered “good” fats, omega-3s have a number of health benefits. Fish oil, salmon, flaxseed, and flaxseed oil, are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids.
Magnesium. While this mineral is usually overlooked, Magnesium is an important mineral to add to your diet, helping to turn calories into energy. To learn more about the benefits associated with magnesium, read The Magnesium Miracle by Carolyn Dean, MD, ND.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). This vitamin is assists in tissue growth and repair, enhances immunity, and increases iron absorption. When choosing a Vitamin C supplement, avoid chewables since they can damage tooth enamel.
Take steps today to increase your body’s longevity by incorporating a healthy diet, regular exercise, and high-quality supplements into your day-to-day routine.
Elite Honors Spotlight: Donald Clarke
The second month to qualify for Elite Honors came to an impressive close and dozens of names were added to the Elite Honors Club qualifiers list! A handful of Team Members qualified for the second month in a row. In addition, a number of qualifiers are going even further by maintaining and surpassing their highest pin titles to earn the Go Elite promotion. Donald Clarke, a Bronze from New York, is a real estate agent that put his career on hold to give all of his time to his Synergy business. At 67 years old, Donald saw Synergy as an opportunity to Leave a Legacy and earn an additional income to supplement his retirement. Dan Hammer introduced Donald to Synergy and ever since their meeting they have both been working diligently to organize the New York team. While in New York, Dan taught the Elite Honors concept to a group of eager distributors who are causing change through Elite Honors with Donald at the helm.
“Once we realized what we possessed with the Elite Honors system we were hell-bent on getting as many people as possible in the New York area to be Elite Honors qualified. If I train others to be Elite Honors qualified it will impact me greatly. I immediately saw the benefits of teaching this system to others. I got to see someone in my organization become Elite Honors qualified twice with a rank advancement. No doubt, Elite Honors is an awesome way to market the business and help others help others. My team is seeing the benefits and I look forward to helping more to become Elite Honors qualified this month, next month, and so on.”

Elite Honors Spotlight: Lee Edwards
The second month to qualify for Elite Honors came to an impressive close and dozens of names were added to the Elite Honors Club qualifiers list! A handful of Team Members qualified for the second month in a row. In addition, a number of qualifiers are going even further by maintaining and surpassing their highest pin titles to earn the Go Elite Promotion.
Lee Edwards, a Team Director from Utah, was one of the few Synergy leaders who were introduced to Elite Honors during the program’s prelaunch phase in May 2015. As a leader, he was challenged to achieve the Elite Honors title. He not only achieved the title in May, he achieved it again in June and July. In addition to following the Elite Honors principles himself, he is teaching all new distributors and existing distributors in his downline to make a goal every month to become Elite Honors qualified in order to kickstart and grow their own business quickly.
“Elite Honors is easy for me. The program gives me clearly cut, detailed instructions so that I know exactly what I need to do every month. I need at least 650 CV on my TC 1 and at least 200 CV in distributor enrollments. I love this, because I’m a goal-oriented person. I know what I need to do on a monthly basis and I make sure I’m accomplishing what I need to. I just keep chugging along until it’s done.
What I really love is that as long as I continue doing this behavior it will continue to pay off. Nothing in this business needs to be sporadic. There is no more guessing how to make money in this business. In my three months with Elite Honors I have no only seen my business grow, I’ve seen people in my organization learning the correct behaviors and that’s even more exciting for me. If getting 500 CV in customer volume feels intimidating, learn to forget yourself and care about others. Using the Elite Healthprogram you will always meet the customer’s needs and you’ll find that getting 500 CV is easy. You will never be a pushy salesman. You are simply asking how you can improve someone’s life.
I love that all the leaders are now teaching the same principles. If someone on my team went to Presidential Executive Dane Iorg and asked him how to build their business, he will going to tell them the same things I have. I really appreciate that unity.”

Elite Honors Spotlight: Tammy Hester
The second month to qualify for Elite Honors has come to an impressive close and dozens of names have been added to the Elite Honors Club qualifiers list! A handful of Team Members qualified for the second month in a row. In addition, a number of qualifiers are going even further by maintaining and surpassing their highest pin titles to earn the Go Elite Promotion.
Tammy Hester, a Star from Florida, joined Synergy WorldWide in 2013 after losing her husband of 8 years—they had been together for a total of 30 years and his absence took a toll on her both emotionally and physically. Though she ordered the product regularly, she couldn’t commit to the business right away as she mended from her terrible loss. One and a half years after she signed up as a Synergy distributor, Tammy decided she needed to establish structure in her life and find something she could be passionate about, which is why she decided to do something with her Synergy business. She noticed her confidence increasing as she began striking up conversations about ProArgi-9+ in grocery stores, and sharing her passion for Synergy in airports. Tammy is one in a group of hardworking Team Members who qualified for Elite Honors Club and the Go Elite Promotion two months in a row.
“I’m proving that you don’t have to go into this business knowing anyone. You simply need to know how to strike up a conversation. Find an icebreaker. Always talk about the 120-day money-back guarantee. The product will sell itself. Elite Honors teaches that customer volume is an important part of the business and I believe profiling your contacts as distributors or customers is important. It’s OK to sign up a lot of people as customers, because those people usually build a belief in the product and become the devoted distributors.
To those wanting to become Elite Honors qualified, keep on keeping on. Just have patience and it will all eventually come full circle. Don’t get discouraged if a month goes by and you haven’t signed up a new distributor. Focus on keeping your customers. Also, you should always stay plugged in. Stay connected to the company because the more you listen to Synergy leaders, the more confidence you will have to go toe-to-toe with people you don’t know. Many people will say they aren’t good enough to accomplish a certain goal. If you are one of these people, you have to question why you believe it and then defeat that thought. Everyone is capable of achieving their dreams. I like what Henry Ford once said: ‘Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right!’ So believe in yourself! That’s the first step to becoming successful. Don’t beat yourself up if you don’t get 500 CV in customer volume every month, because the important thing is that you are changing lives, and that’s huge!”

Pathway of a Clinical Trial At this very moment, scientists are suited up in lab coats and goggles, working hard to improve Synergy WorldWide’s product offering and product efficacy in The Hughes Center for Research and Innovation.
Efficacy is a word that is often used when discussing product formulations, and its meaning describes exactly what Synergy WorldWide’s focus is: creating products that are scientifically proven to work. An efficacious product is one that does precisely what it was intended to do, and Synergy products are intended to help you live life fully with a complete and trusted health system.
“It is one thing to say that a product works, but it’s another to say there is proof that a product works,” said Dr. Joseph Lamb, The Hughes Center’s medical director. “Because of this lab, you will be able to sit down with a business partner and tell them about our unique ingredient combinations, about how these products weren’t just created by three guys in a meeting room with a few medical books and limited funds. Our goal is to deliver valuable products and product information to as many groups as possible.”
Without testing products on human subjects, it’s impossible to know how effective the products are, which is why the Hughes Center’s clinical labs are imperative to the future development of Synergy WorldWide and its product line. The process leading up to performing a clinical trial is extensive and requires months of preparation. Take a walk through the clinical process that scientists execute as they work to prove that Synergy products are among the best in the nutritional supplement industry.
The Idea
All clinical trials begin with a lightbulb moment. When the clinical teams develop a substantial idea based on the most important nutritional and health needs of the modern world, they begin combining safe ingredients and performing self-studies. When the research team discovers a formulation that they feel confident about presenting, they meet with the independent review board composed of company executives and personnel from various company departments about whether this product makes sense from a business perspective.
The Protocol
Every clinical trial needs a clear set of directions. Questions including “Who do we recruit and test? How many subjects do we need? How old are the subjects? Are they generally healthy enough to participate? How do we instruct subjects to take the product? What information do we want to collect?” The protocol goes through several drafts and is questioned in detail by several company departments. Dozens of additional questions—“Is the study unique? Is it ethical? Is this the best subject demographic?”—are asked as these departments consider how influential the trial will be to Team Members who are looking to market the product with clinical proof. After these questions are finalized and organized into a protocol, the protocol is sent to an outside review board (IRB) for input and approval.
The Subjects
Based on the protocol’s final instructions, the clinical team begins searching for the correct group of subjects. Often, subjects are recruited within the walls of the Synergy WorldWide and Nature’s Sunshine office buildings. When a more specific group of subjects is required, the clinical team will seek the help of the marketing team to publicize the study and recruit the target demographic. When the group is selected, each participant comes into the lab for an initial meeting where the trial objective and product usage is explained and screening lab work is conducted to ensure the subject is healthy enough to participate. The subject may come back multiple times throughout the trial period to report results or once at the end of the trial period, depending on the study.
The Data
Thousands of data points are compiled over the period of a clinical trial including physical samples. A study of 20 subjects can produce more than 560 individual samples. These samples are then kept in two freezers that are large enough to store more than 45,000 samples per freezer. The samples are kept at -80° Celsius to maintain each sample’s integrity. The clinical team will use additional testing groups within Synergy and NSP’s scientific teams to evaluate the collected specimens using a number of tests. For example, a bioavailability study shows the degree and rate at which a potential product ingredient is absorbed into the human body. Measuring nitric oxide levels in the blood indicates whether or not a subject is getting proper nutrition. An Endopat is a non-invasive test to assess cardiovascular health and risk factors. These are examples of literally hundreds of test that may be performed to assess the safety and efficacy of a given product.
The Conclusion
When every specimen is analyzed, study results are compiled and evaluated for statistical significance. The clinical team must measure the new product’s impact and determine whether or not it is ready for the market. Every detail carried out in a clinical trial is in anticipation of these results.
The findings that emerge from The Hughes Center’s clinical labs have the potential to cause rapid growth in Synergy’s markets, and thanks to the knowledge of brilliant scientists, the information they can uncover is limitless. Only through the innovative research conducted at the Hughes Center can the true potential resting in Synergy’s proprietary formulations be unlocked.
