Hello everyone, and welcome back toanother edition of the Indiana Botox Babe.
I'm doudcast one of the co hostsof this podcast, but the real star
of the show is Laura Shryock andshe is a r n BSN DUEL cert
certification in botox. Laura, welcomeback to yet another edition. Hey,
(00:25):
right, exit Doug. We've gotsome good steps to talk about tonight.
We do, and we have aguest that we're going to bring on today,
and so Laura, you want tokind of introduce our guests today.
Absolutely, So. On the lastepisode, we kind of went into alternative
to anti aging and discussed life Vantageand the products that I recommend my clients,
(00:48):
and we talked about the combo ofyou can do both, you do
one if you just weren't ready tostep over right into the botox world or
the filler world and or like Isaid, I like to do the combo.
So we talked about interf too andper tandem and how that works with
all of our systems for the agingprocess on the inside. And then we
also touched upon liquid collagen as theproteins and structure right that kind of helps
(01:15):
all of our things move and thenkeep that tone and elasticity of our face,
and our skin is our biggest system. So we talked about that.
So we're gonna bring on our specialguest and her name is Amber White,
and she's really my upline of howwho I contacted about the life Vantage products
and has really just been my mentorand kind of helped me to figure out
(01:37):
what to do with these products andhow to introduce those to other people.
So I'm excited to introduce Amber.Amber is a mother of four. She
has many jobs, but she actuallymakes a great income off of life Vantage
and she helps people, so that'swonderful. And she doesn't really have to
leave her home she doesn't want to, so that's pretty cool. That's kind
of awesome. Well, Amber,welcome to the Indiana Botox Babe podcast.
(02:01):
Well, thank you for having meon. I feel honored to be a
guest here. Lauren is absolutely fantastic, not only a guest, but you
are the first guest, so that'skind of an honoring itself. I will
take it. Thank you. Well, I amember. I know last week
we talked a little bit about lifeAdvantage from Laura's standpoint of what she thought,
(02:27):
and you know, one of thefirst questions we wanted to ask you
is to try to get your thoughtsand your views of life advantage from your
advantage point. Yeah. Absolutely so. I'm actually a kinesiologist and nutritionist,
and so you know, Laura andI can geek out all day long about
(02:49):
the science and validity behind what thisis, but honestly, it's an amazing
opportunity to really activate your own body'sunique ability to do what it's supposed to
do. And I love it somuch in a dual purpose that you know,
(03:10):
our world, we really get lostin just the busy, the stress,
the the mom as my five yearold's tapping me on the leg,
the work, the toxic food,the all the things, and it really
just allows our body to reset towhat it is meant to do. And
(03:31):
so I have had my own fantasticstory and I love that. I just
share with people hundreds of stories everyday, and like Laura said, it's
allowed me to have so much flexibilityand so much freedom that I don't have
(03:51):
to leave my house if I don'twant to anymore. Well, and maybe
tell us a little bit about howyou got involved, How did this all
about, How did you get hookedup with life Advantage. Maybe we could
start there and you can kind oftell your story a little bit. Yeah.
Absolutely. So I had ran myown fitness and nutrition company for eleven
(04:15):
years and was pretty much set inmy ways, and then I got rocked
with having twins, and yes,it was a big surprise, and I
had to actually close down my fitnesscompany to be a home base mom.
(04:35):
I have four kids and just payingfor daycare didn't make sense to me.
And so my friend actually, becausethis is a friend to friend connection type
of business here, but she hasher PhD and holistic nutrition and she said,
you know, you might want totake a look at this. It's
right up your alley. And thebest thing is is you can do it
(04:57):
whenever you want, from wherever youare. And honestly, Doug, I
was tired, I was overworked,overstressed. I just had these babies,
didn't want to go back to ajob, and I thought, you know
what, if I can just makewhat I was making in my fitness company,
(05:19):
then I'm in right. And Iloved the coach of like all I
had to do is be coachable,and now is it? So Honestly,
that's how I got wind of this, but my science and my skepticism,
Uh really I do hard into whatthis was and the again the validity behind
(05:44):
it and the company, and Iwas blown away, Like still to this
day five years later, I'm blownaway by the stuff that I find.
And so that makes it really exciting, and that it is also like constantly
improving and it's just fun. Sothat's kind of how I got started and
(06:06):
the business side, and then likeLaura dual purpose, I started activating myself
and as a thirty eight year oldmom of four who just runs a circus,
I say, I just run acircus. I feel better and look
(06:27):
better than I did in my twenties, and so it's pretty awesome. Well,
what I'm kind of intrigued in isthat you're saying the almost the exact
same thing that I heard last weekwith Laura, is that you weren't just
convinced by somebody else's word. Bothof you really kind of dug into the
(06:48):
research the science of this, whichis kind of gonna be in trade now.
I think for both of you,coming from the medical background, you're
probably not going to take anything atfates value. You want to see the
results, you want to see theresearch in the dive in and it seems
like that's what both of you did, yes, and just the company has
(07:11):
basically I mean they started off andlaunched with the research and the doctors behind
it, and really didn't do thatmuch as a marketing standpoint initially, So
they started the business the right way, right, and then as they did
that, they have so many likethree over three hundred thousand different research links
(07:31):
that you can you know, connectall the dots together, and like I
said last last episode of Med,you have all these things that you can
start linking and all together. Youknow, from a nursing standpoint, you
know, when we go to nursingschool or even when we're actively treating somebody,
you know, in the healthcare environment, it's a case study, right,
(07:54):
It's a case study. What's goingon with that individual? What did
they present with and what are thosefactors that we're trying to treat. And
this is in essence the same thing. You know, I specifically try to
hone in and on anti aging whenI'm in the salon. But you would
be surprised, you know, likewe started initially in that first episode males
(08:16):
Versus Female, what's the different elementsthat's going on here, and how can
I not only just treat them cosmetically, right, and again, how can
I help them in other ways?And I think that's the big thing for
me, is is exciting because thereis this holistic way that we can use
God's pharmacy to help treat these peopleand make them feel better, makes them
(08:41):
look better, right, it isusually my whole goal. But better you
feel better, and if you feelbetter, Yeah, it's kind of a
big circle itself serving that you know, if you cure one, if you
will the other one usually falls rightin line. And again, like I
said, I'm very added to hearboth of you said the same thing that
(09:03):
you're just taking things at face value. You're not only digitting yourself, but
you really encourage others to do thesame thing. That's the kind of says
hold me accountable to say, tobelieve what I'm saying is actually true before
you jump in both feet. Well, and then they've even went even further.
You know, network marketing right,digital marketing. If you know any
(09:26):
of our friends or Facebook right onFacebook, then we actually connect them with
Facebook, so we're in inviting themto my life bantage story and then they
can actually go in there and typein kind of what's bothering them or what
they're curious about, and read allthe people's stories. So there's testimonies within.
So not only can you go anddo the science behind it, but
(09:50):
if you're not that science person,right, not everybody putting more into you
know, read these testimonies something thatyou can understand and how this changed their
life. So that's front it prettycool. And then they try to stay
well, just with cutting edge.So that's something I think Amberg could touch
upon. I just went to myfirst Momentum training course in May and they
(10:16):
had kept saying, you know,you have to go, you have to
go, And I really thought goingto that, you know, it was
going to be like any other educationaltraining tool that you would go when you
would set and you would have slidesand presentations and you take notes and it
would be I hate seminar, right, but more informational. And it's quss
(10:41):
eye boring. I have nothing.The only thing I guess I can compare
it to is maybe a revival.There was music, There was testimonies anywhere
from an homage person, which wetalked about in different episodes. All the
way up to right an MD medicalvalidation. You've seen every aspect of that.
(11:05):
You've seen stay at home moms,right, You've seen all over the
board. And so it was justI came home and I really was ropped
or shook by just that personal perspective. So that's kind of cool. And
then again and staying cutting edge,they launched their skincare products. We had
really great skincare products before, UnfortunatelyI hadn't used those, and so we
(11:31):
had a We actually had an estheticianthat was in our salon at the time
and she had her skincare so Iwas like trying not to step on her
toes. So I kind of wentmore anti aging. And then when she
decided to launch out by herself andthat room became open, I asked,
you know, my landlord, hey, can I start doing the skincare products.
(11:54):
So I actually bought the first kitwhen we went to the academy training
for a moment and then I justsaid, I'm not going to use anything
else, I'm just going to usethis. And I am I am pleasantly,
pleasantly surprised of just you know,on the outside of what that looks
like. And their four step processis really simple and it's all natural.
(12:16):
So I would like to then bringAmber in on that so she can talk
a little bit more about the skincareif you're comfortable with that spot. And
before we get to get to that, Amber, I do have a question
maybe to help clarify, because maybethere's listeners like myself. That's a guy,
that's right, uh, kind oflike the onmbudsman to help ask those
(12:41):
questions if we're not being completely Idon't want to say transparent, but clear,
Thank you clear on that. Whenyou say skin skin care, something
that comes to probably a guy's mindis is it a lotion to make your
skins? So? Is it thefat anti aging? Is it for aging
(13:03):
spots, et cetera? What doesthat really need? Cool? Do you
want to talk about this, Amber? Do you want me to Well,
I'm not the skin expert, butI'll tell you in simple terms. Basically,
skincare to me should be very simplebecause it should be resetting your skin
(13:28):
and balancing it to its homeostasis level. So skincare should not be complicated.
You shouldn't have skincare for oily skinor dry skin, or you know,
all these different things. I mean, my daughter's like eleven and has fifty
different things in her skincare box,and I'm like, what do you have
(13:48):
all this for? But it shouldbe very simple. And that's what I
love about this is the simplicity itis for every person because we're talking about
deep into the dermis of the skin, not just topically, and repairing the
(14:09):
cells and creating this amazing kind ofeven protective barrier. So it doesn't all
those things that you mentioned, sunspots, dry skin, even to oilly skin,
acne, wrinkles, lines, Imean, dark circles, like all
(14:30):
of those things can be redirected andimproved by getting to the basics, to
the simplicity of what the skin reallyis and what it can do. So
is okay, So when you talkabout, you know, repairing the skin
(14:52):
and getting it back to the basicis it something very similar to like when
we talk about injection. Is thatit's not an overnight success that it may
take days weeks to see the results, or is this something that is more
instant. So that's that's very goodquestion because so our basically research team went
(15:20):
out there and they tried to findthe most natural products that they could use
for tightening and toning and retinyl alternatives, so you didn't get that red redness
and how to kind of switch daysof when you were trying to use that
that product which is retinal as indicativefor And so when they went in and
(15:41):
dug in and tried to figure outall, you know, how are we
going to do this? They theycame up with a simple solution. So
the solution was in essence, justtrying to and they're kind of we have
a little bit of some visitors goingthrough and they're getting me. I'm like,
okay, what was it. Sobasically they've just took the science and
(16:03):
made it very very simple so thatyou can stay on the same regimen and
then not have not for it tobe difficult. So basically, when she
says going back to basics, that'swhat it is. So for a man,
right, they don't want all thesesteps, they don't want all these
things. So all of them arecreams. All of them basically use natural
products to try to dive in.They've tried to use the interf too and
(16:30):
that anti aging process to create thatso that it's not only if they're taking
the anti aging and the inter Ftwo on the inside, then they're trying
to combo dout on the outside.So you're seeing that rejuvenation and that turning
the calling back. So did thatanswer the question? It doesn't. And
just to be clear, so whetherit's a male or a female, they're
(16:52):
using the exact same product, whetherthey're a thirty year old or an eighty
year old, they're using the exactsame product. Is that what I'm hearing?
Correct? And I think the interestingpart for me too is with most
men women in general, is whatI've found, like just in talking with
them, my clients and basically inthe salon, they think, the thicker
(17:15):
the product, right, and thelike I hate to say vascilink, but
the thicker the product, like wetalked in the last episode, the better
it's going to be for your skin, right, to hold it all the
moisture, to hydrate, to giveyou all that stuff you need. Because
that's kind of what we've been taught, right, exactly what we've been taught,
And that's not what men like.Right. You don't want a lot
of scent, you don't want itto fill slimy on your hands, you
(17:37):
don't want to use lotion, right, So that's like, so that's what
I find is interesting because so there'sfour steps. So there's the cleanser that
you're cleansing, and that's the otherpart too, the cleanser you can use
on your eyelids, on your lashes, on everything. It's that gentle is
trying to basically keep everything toned andclean and smooth, that it doesn't burn
(18:02):
the eyes, right, it's allnatural to use it to take off the
makeup. It's got a pleasant scent. It doesn't take very much of it.
And then step two is the eyesif you want to. Step three
is the retinal alternative, and stepfour is the hydrating, which so that
would be like using lotion. Stepfour is what my husband loves and he
(18:23):
tries to steal it from it.Part was I think is that on step
four Dan's not a good I meanhe's not often a hydrator, but he
thinks it smells good and he'll sayit smells good on me. So one
night, actually he had a dryplace on his nose, so I just
(18:44):
put a little bit on it andthat started it right then he was like,
this doesn't feel slimey, this doesn'tfeel thick, and that the best
part I guess this is reasonably christthe whole skincare line, but especially the
hydrate for a moisturizer, you know, because you can get up there into
this hundreds of dollars to just havea treatment for your face, and you
(19:07):
can buy the whole system for liketwo So that's an interesting part for me
that like, he can steal myhydrate and I don't care because I can
I can affordably get enough one replaceit. Yeah, let me ask you
this, So is it something thatand I'm just using this in my mind
to to to understand it. Sowhen I think of a lotion, you
(19:27):
typically go ahead to toe with thelotion, right because you want your body
to be very smooth and stuff withthis. Is it the same thing or
are you just going to over certainareas your face, your arms outorely?
Can you do everything? That wouldbe one thing, right, Sure,
the more you're covering the the moreyou're going to have absolutely cosmotic cause,
(19:52):
so that would be my number one. But now I'm I mean what I
would tell from my standpoint right froma client, I'm going to tell you
to start the declote, which wetalked about on the different episodes. So
your chest area right that you knowyou're showing with the baby suitter tank and
go all the way up the neckand the entire face. That's including the
(20:14):
eyelids and right and rides and theeyelids, which I think that again we
talked about people don't think about cleansingthe eye lids that you may take make
it remover, but they don't thinkabout cleansing and treating the eyelids. So
is that the same for men too, because obviously men don't wear makeup,
right, and so we kind ofoverlook some of that stuff. So,
(20:38):
Doug, you're a little bit olderthan me, but do you notice that
the skin on your upper eyelid ismore last and more loose, more right
droopy? Maybe not necessarily for you, but other men, right? And
do you get that the body kindof relaxes a little bit if you will,
So do you not want to helpthat area? Right? Do we
not want to have more eyelids showingand looked more alive? Right? So
(21:03):
that's that aspect of the anti aging. And that's one of the big things
I think I've noticed. Remember Ido the combo, so that's one of
the big things I've noticed from takingmy before and after pictures. So they
have a fifteen minute challenge. Sothey say, I really didn't answer your
question earlier, so because they interruptedme. But the fifteen minute challenge is
(21:25):
you basically take up before picture,you treat with all four of the systems,
and then you wait fifteen minutes andyou take an after picture. And
they have done the research, theyhave put in the product and the time,
and they're that confident that that fifteenminutes you're going to see and danced
exact. That's proven. So ifit's yeah, go ahead, we didn't
(21:48):
hear amber no, I said,some of those results are crazy in fifteen
minutes. I've done a few,like they bold under eyes. I think
is that I've seen differences. Forme the fifteen minute challenge, I could
see just slight, But remember I'mdoing the I'm already modifying right my appearance
(22:10):
with the botox or neurotoxin that Iuse that month. So but for me,
it took me a little bit longerto see more of a result.
And the biggest thing is I've notchanged my treatment plan, Like I haven't
changed that since you know, I'vebeen injecting myself because I've got it mastered
(22:32):
to how I like it. Ihave more eyelids showing, so I have
visible more eyelids. So if youthink about putting eyeshadow on or eyeliner on,
if you're a female or in themale's perspective watching you know your significant
other, do that I have visiblemore areas that I have showing, not
(22:53):
from toxin and treating that and liftingthat. It's in that product. So
I've been using it for a monthand a half and just within I will
all right, I will say it'svery interesting that with that fifteen minute challenge
on the eye theorem, the guidesare loving it. Like two of my
(23:18):
best friend's husbands stole their product becauseit immediately like got rid of the inflammation
under their eyes. And the otherguy, his dark circles were gone in
like a day, and so thatblew their minds. Wow, and those
were men and those were those weretheir husbands, And I thought that was
(23:41):
being tastic. We may have tosend something with Doug. Yeah before and
after exampler for our next next episodecan tell us what he thought. Well,
and the beauty about this is nowI have two questions. One,
I I would say the beauty ofit is people like because we talked about
(24:03):
this earlier in earlier episodes instant gratification. People can see it almost immediately in
terms of that yes working. Isthis a substitute for the injections? Because
I can see some people go,well, why would I want an injection
if I could use a cream andsee fifteen minute results? And I'm exaggerating
(24:26):
a little bit, but I couldsee where somebody would say, why don't
we start here instead of over here? Lauren, I will throw you under
the bus on this one number.Yeah, well, so you do see
result, it's not going to beas as significant as what you're going to
see with the neurotoxin, right,that's going to be pretty much instant gratification.
(24:49):
But in an essence, you know, your improving tone and elasticity,
So that's only going to help trainthem muscle right back, training the muscle
to not make a exaggerated expression,so that it's going to help that tonallysity.
So would you would you possibly?Do I think that I get maybe
(25:10):
a little bit more out of mynerve content? Yeah? I do,
so I think I can maybe stretchit a little bit further, so that
could help that price point. Howmany treatments that you get it within a
year. Well, and the otherthing is it sounds like if you want
or need sometimes we just need aquick picker upper if you will like and
(25:33):
you know you didn't like we talkedabout you didn't give me a good month
ahead so we can get you exactlywhere you want to be. You know,
this could be something that would maybeenhance a little bit, you know
for that big day, right,you know it's there's the evening and you
realize graduation Saturday or weddings gimming upSaturday. This could get you in through
a pinch. It's not going togive you what you probably want long term,
(25:57):
but you got to get it inthe mail too. The other thing,
so that's that's another thing we didn'ttalk about Amber. If you want
to talk about the you know,the simplicity of and just managing your own
subscription with life Vantage. Oh yeah, absolutely. So it's so simple that
everyone really you know, I don'tcarry inventory, we don't. I'm not
(26:22):
meeting anyone to give them their product. My gosh, I would fail at
that, right, I believe forfun things, not for product delivery.
But it's the simplicity is is online. Everything is online. So every customer.
Every affiliate, you have your ownonline account and it's so simple.
(26:47):
You manage it yourself, and customersupport is fantastic, corporate is phenomenal,
but you have that very simple wayto go in and say, Okay,
I want this now, and it'sgoing to come to you in about three
to five days. I mean,I just had this woman, she's eighty
years old, you guys, eightyyears old, signed on as a consultant
(27:08):
an affiliate at eighty years old becauseshe was blown away by how she could
share this with her peers one butto the simplicity of it. And she
texts me today and it's only beenthree days and she was like, oh
my gosh, I just got mystuff and that's so much faster than I
thought. And I'm like, I'mblown the way that you're texting. She's
(27:34):
with this decade go her, butI love it. But yeah, so
it's very very simple. You know, That's really what we're about, is
being simple, being very unique,but affordable, where so many people are
spending so much money on so manythings. And you know, if we
(27:57):
talk about not just skincare, butvitamin and supplement world, that's the world
that I lived in for sixteen years. Tell you ninety eight percent of it
is junk. And so many peopleare just spending so many much money and
looking for a solution. And hereis a very affordable, real validated solution
(28:21):
that people can get their hands on. And so I love that that it's
for everyone, for every mammal,and it's very very simple, and it's
we're like what thirty countries too,so it's not just United States. I
know we're running here close on time. But I did have one final question,
(28:41):
just on average, if somebody isgetting to purchasing a tube, does
that last a month, a week, two months? I know it's on
average, and depending on how mucharea you're covering is going to depend,
but on average, if just tokind of give the listener an idea of
is it once a month that theywould be purchasing the skincare or so I'm
(29:07):
on, I'm on two months andgetting ready to head to my third so
and I still have enough of eachproduct that I don't feel like it's empty.
Sure, So I would say mybest guess, amorer would be three
months. Okay, some somewhere liketwo to three months, you know,
depending on depending on it's so concentratedyou don't need a lot. And so
(29:32):
sometimes we're so used to just overwe're needing to put on so much because
you know, the concentration of theactual product isn't that great. And so
when you get used to knowing howmuch how little you need here, it's
pretty awesome that it goes a longway. Yeah, I think we're also
trained that you have to have alot to cover that area. And yes,
(29:57):
it's just fun happy medium gone.Oh, a little actually goes quite
a long way. Well, Iuse a peace sized pea size, and
that will be my entire face,my neck and my detee And it's like,
no, it's not And I meanit's soft, and I wouldn't say
(30:21):
it ladders, but it just spreadsvery very well, very very smooth,
very very soft. And the bestpart for me was in trying a new
product. Always I would notoriously havea breakout or something that I had to
overcome right because of that change,And I did not with this one.
(30:41):
So I can faithfully say absolutely not. It was a great transition and I
went all straight for all for products, and I I did keep I have
all my products in a glass jarin my bathroom, but they're just setting
there because I'm not using them,and I'm proving to myself that I don't
need all that stuff. Oh yeah, I love it. And you know
(31:04):
it's also really often we didn't touchon it, but it's not like you
can use I've used this on burns. I've used it on post surgeries like
stitches to help the area repair.I've used it on Exima's spots or like
my kids get sun spots sometimes justfrom their they're a different skin tone.
(31:30):
But the beautiful thing is is we'retalking about skin repair, and so you
have a burn, put it onthere, you have like whatever it may
be. Like even the kind ofis like you could use not an antingle,
but you know, if someone hadan issue on the skin, like
put it on there. It's kindof like the little magic. You know.
(31:53):
Have you ever seen my big factfreek wedding and he has like the
windex you know, I feel likeI feel like this is like the wind
deck because it's multipurpose. And mydaughter got to burn and I was like,
here, oh my gosh, goget my cream and put it on.
And you're talking right up Doug Dallybecause he is a movie buff.
Yeah, yeah, so you wentright into that one. Ever, I
(32:16):
know we're need to wrap up here, but how can somebody get a hold
of you, ladies if they're interestedin learning more about life Advantage. Go
ahead, Amber, you can gofirst and I'll end it. Yeah.
Well, Laura is an awesome anawesome way to get in touch. So
(32:37):
I would say just connect with Laura. Probably you have your information or website
somewhere that would be right. Yes, yeah, thank you for coming on,
Amber. We really appreciate it.It was nice to have a different
perspective for our listeners. And youcan get a hold of me through Facebook,
Instagram. I work at Shazam salonon Walbash and Tarood Indiana and my
(33:00):
up numbers eight five nine five onetwo five three four one, So look
for Laura shry Off for Indiana BoatchopSpace. Thanks guys, Thank you all
