We share this week's favorite recipe, podcast, blog article, the Deal of the Week & more! Greetings Friend,   It is with a heavy heart that I write to you today in the aftermath of the tragic shootings that have taken place across the country the last week or so. Our most sincere condolences go out to all the victims, families, friends and everyone involved in the cataclysmic tragedies.   While it's my deepest hope that you weren't personally affected, I hope that you take the events personally. Reflect on what's important, and even more, reflect on who's important. Make the people who matter most to you know it. Nothing is guaranteed. Don't take anything­—or anyone—for granted.   Now, before we dive into this week's VIP news, here's a couple quick-hitters to get you going…   Coach's Corner: "I never lose. I either win or learn." - Nelson Mandela   Coach's Tip: Grab a snack—an "exercise snack," that is. In other words, instead of (or better yet, in addition to) one continuous 30- to 60-minute workout, schedule short, "snack-sized" portions (like 2-, 5- or 10-minute blocks) of exercise throughout the day. Exercise snacking overcomes the number one excuse for not exercising—not having time—and it helps break up an otherwise sedentary lifestyle, which regular exercise alone can't beat. 1. Favorite Recipe We Tried This Week Golden milk is one of the hottest health and nutrition trends popularized across social media and the Interwebs. Is it just a passing trend, or is it an age-old remedy that you need to add to your arsenal? A better question may be what is golden milk? Coach Cristina answers these questions, and better yet, she gives you the low down on how you can quickly whip up a supercharged, delicious and simple golden milk recipe in the confines of your own kitchen without having to drop a small fortune at your local juice shop. Enjoy! 2. Best of Our Weekly Podcast "What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, more unashamed conversation." - Glenn Close   "Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of, but stigma and bias shame us all." - Bill Clinton   Mental health is pivotal for success in every domain in life. Yet mental health issues continue to get shunned and carry burdensome, exacerbating stigmas. But the truth is that we ALL deal with mental health issues and varying degrees of ups and downs. Unfortunately, it takes high-profile suicides, tragic school shootings, and TV shows for many to be sensitized to the gravity, devastation, and reality. In this episode of BioTRUST Radio, we want to reach out to anyone who's in a dark place — whether that's you or someone you know — give 13 reasons why NOT and remind you that life is precious. 3. $100 Instagram Giveaway Want to win $100 in FREE BioTRUST products? I thought so. :) To be eligible for the monthly contest, just post a photo of you with your favorite BioTRUST product along with why you love it on Instagram.  Be sure to tag us @biotrustnutrition to be entered into the drawing.   Here's what one of our recent contest winners, Calvin S., had to say: "Products from BioTRUST truly work to help you lose weight!" 4. Most Popular Blog Article This Week Depression is the leading cause of disability and a major contributor to the disease burden worldwide. It's associated with joblessness, poor physical health, and in its most severe forms, suicide. Depression can take a nasty toll on relationships and leave loved ones feeling helpless, frustrated or fearful. To make matters worse, public awareness is pathetic due to lack of knowledge, misunderstanding and stigmatism. This is all incredibly unfortunate considering that 20+ million American adults and over 300 million people worldwide are battling depression. The good news is that emerging evidence suggests a clear association between diet quality and mental health. In other words, diet can quite literally be used in the prevention and treatment of depression. Join us as we reveal the latest findings from the field of nutritional psychology, which has begun to unravel the dietary patterns, nutrients and foods that improve mood. 5. Transformation Challenge Update With just one week to go in our 12-Week Shape-Up Challenge, the participants have put the figurative pedal to the metal. As a group, these amazing folks have lost 914 pounds, which is about as much as a horse! Or, according to Coach Cristina, the equivalent of 13,605 king chessmen.   Stay tuned…in the coming weeks, we'll be announcing the winners, including the grand-prize recipient, who's going to be headed  to Maui, Hawaii, for a beach vacation and $2,500 richer. Yeah, buddy!   If you want to follow the action more closely or if you, yourself, are looking for some motivation, accountability and support yourself, just head on over to our VIP Community today!  6. Make-A-Wish® "It's not a race. It's a journey." That was the mantra of the 2019 Trailblaze Challenge, which benefited Make-A-Wish Oregon. BioTRUST sponsored the event, which took place at Silver Falls State Park and raised over $100,000 for local Wish Kids in Oregon and Southwest Washington, like Cason and Micah. Cason, age 9, wishes to meet a wolverine. Micah, age 5, wishes to go to Aulani. The Trailblaze Challenge involved hiking 25.8 miles in one life-changing day to support future wishes for children with critical illnesses. At an average cost of $7,500 per wish, the Trailblaze Challenge was an incredibly successful fundraiser to help close the gap between the number of wishes Make-A-Wish grants today and the number of wishes it needs to grant.   Please help us in our passionate pursuit of supporting Make-A-Wish, its mission, and most importantly, the critically ill children who stand to benefit enormously from the life-changing impact of a wish, which stands to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.   You have the opportunity to contribute to Make-A-Wish at checkout. Anything and everything counts. We can continue to make a difference together. Thank you for your support! 7.
