I am a huge advocate of plant-based eating. I need to qualify that somewhat, however, because I believe we need to take care to eat plants as close to the way they have been provided to us by nature. A piece of fruit, such as an apple or a peach, is nature's ultimate "Fast Food". My lifelong quest to find foods that would support vibrant life on their own ultimately lead me to the product that I hold near and dear to my heart, FrequenSea. It is a food like no other on the market, as it has at its base Marine Phytoplankton. For those of you who don't know the story of how marine phytoplankton came to be available as a food source for mankind, go to my website www.planktonplease.com and watch the video "By Land and By Sea”. It beautifully explains the story of Tom Harper, his victory in developing a technique that is changing the world in a profound way, and his personal battle with cancer.

Shortly after I started to tell people about the amazing marine phytoplankton whole food tonic, "FrequenSea", I came across a fisherwoman who related to me a story that opened my awareness about food in a new way. She said that they had once caught a dolphin in their nets and decided to dissect it. When the dissection was complete, they was absolutely astounded by the fact that its stomach was only about the size of an orange while its brain overflowed a 5-gallon bucket. I didn't think to ask her what type of dolphin it was, and for that matter, I have no idea if her story was true, but it made me think about the quality of food that we eat. It makes sense to me that if we eat a nutrient-dense diet, we wouldn't eat nearly the quantity of food we now eat, as our bodies would have all of the nutrients that it needs to carry out its functions.

Just as a point of interest, as mammals, we partition our energy among 5 major metabolic activities:
1. Cellular maintenance
2. Themoregulation (keeping the body within a certain temperature range)
3. Locomotion
4. Growth
5. Reproduction

So, it seems reasonable that if we make a point of ingesting foods that nourish our body, we will no longer continue to stuff things inside of us that add nothing to our health, and ultimately, deplete our body by the need to digest, detoxify and finally eliminate something from which it has received no benefit.Which brings me back to my point – the only way to eat a nutrient-dense diet is to fill yourself up with unprocessed plants.

So, be kind to yourself - FEED YOU FOR LIFE!

Well, here's some good news for those of us still trying to shed the extra insulation that may have accumulated on our bodies over Christmas (or before!) It turns out that in addition to giving people a sustained source of energy and helping to increase mental focus, AmpliFire is helping people to both detoxify and loose weight. I just received an email from a woman who was absolutely ecstatic with the "side-effects" of drinking AmpliFire.

"Imagine my surprise and delight to discover that I can use Amplifire as weight management support.  I have a history of hypoglycemia and lifetime struggles with weight gain.  My weight fluctuates by 10-15 pounds more often than I would like to say.  The reason?  Unless I eat very precisely every 2 hours, every single day, I have all the symptoms of low blood sugar.  These include but are not limited to irritability, anxiousness, blurred vision, "brain fog", headaches and extreme hunger.  Stress and fatigue increase these symptoms.  It is at these times that I will grab anything I can get to ease the symptoms.  At my worst, anything can include cookies, junk food, etc. 

Since I received my Amplifire, I have been doing my own research.  I take approximately 1 tablespoon of Amplifire each time I get my cravings/symptoms (2-3 times per day).  The results are exciting.  No blood sugar lows and no excessive cravings.  No symptoms period!  In addition, I have also noted that my mind is clearer and I am much more balanced and calm in a consistent way.  Of course, I have all the positive results I expected Amplifireto give me – that is more energy and endurance, and more power in my fitness workouts.  I really feel "on" as I go through my day.  However, to find that I finally have a safe, healthy method of appetite suppression/weight management is a major bonus."

I've always felt that when our bodies receive the nourishment that they need, they will stop sending out so much of the "feed me" hormone (ghrelin) that drives us to stuff anything edible in our mouths, with little time being taken to consider the value of the food. Using AmpliFire as both a source of supplements and energy seems to be a win/win strategy!

I have been soooo excited since I learned that ForeverGreen was about to launch an entirely new product. As you may know, I am totally committed to the amazing marine phytoplankton food supplement called FrequenSea. The results that I am privileged to see on a daily basis confirm my inner knowing that "Food should be our medicine, and medicine should be our food".

Now, about to be available as a companion product, AmpliFIRE- an all natural, raw, real food energy drink, made without carbonation, chemicals or synthetic ingredients. Imagine being able to get that explosion of energy we all are looking for, in a way that actually builds your health while your energy increases! Could it be more perfect?

Why am I so excited, you may ask. Because, my daughter, Jen Segger-Gigg is a world-class adventure racer and she is constantly looking for ways to keep her at the top of the pack, while not depleting her health. And, believe me, we've researched long and hard looking for information to help us help her. It's a difficult thing to accomplish, because adventure racing is an extreme sport. She and her teammates may be racing for as much as 10 days at a time, right around the clock, in the demanding multi-disciplinary sport. You bet their bodies get depleted! They are using energy stores from way in the future to pay for the race they are in today!

So, AmpliFIRE means a lot to me! If I can help people regain and maintain health in a natural, healthy way, then you bet I'm all over it!
