neocell-logo


I have been given the pleasure of reviewing products from NeoCell. NeoCell offers quality products focused on anti-aging and exercise joint recovery!! I am very excited to be trying the Collagen Sport Ultimate recovery for after I kick-box. I also am very anxious to get started reaping the benefits of using the Keratin Hair Volumizer for shiny and abundant hair!!

Please see the Rafflecoptor below for YOUR chance to Win these awesome products from NeoCell!!


Timothy Mount, CN, CCMH, National Educator for NeoCell,  explains:

NeoCell is a leading anti-aging, exercise and joint recover company that specializes in vital collagen health. Collagen is important because after the age of 25 years old our collagen production declines, leading to the aging process. Since collagen is the main protein in the body that gives our tissues structure – such as skin, ligaments, tendons, bones, cartilage, and blood vessels – the loss of collagen affects overall health and wellness. For fitness enthusiasts a weakened collagen matrix in the body can lead to unstable joints and joint injuries, plus a decline in cardiovascular functioning. For health conscious consumers a drop in collagen can result in the wrinkling of the skin, thinning of the hair and nails, prolapsed of organs, and an overall drop in energy and mobility.
NeoCell’s Collagen Sport product is much more than a simple protein powder, it is a complete exercise recovery formula. Most protein shakes only contain a general protein source that aids in muscle recovery. However, Collagen Sport supports total body recovery by including 15 grams of collagen for joint strength in addition to a 15 grams of a high quality whey isolate for muscular development. We don’t stop there, we add in additional glutamine and BCAAs, plus a complete multivitamin/multimineral complex (including electrolytes). Finally, we are a natural health company so there are no artificial ingredients, no sugars because we sweeten with xylitol, and no lactose or gluten. There simply isn’t a more complete, premium recovery formula on the market.

A common issue in the fitness world is joint injuries or pain. That is because most people only supporting muscular strength gains without simultaneously building their connective tissue to handle the increased force applied to joints by larger muscles. Strong muscles with weak joint and connective tissues result in injuries. By taking NeoCell’s Collagen Sport a person will support both connective tissues and muscular development and guard against injury and pain. We have a great testimonial from Gold Medalist Kayla Harrison about her personal story recovering from a major knee injury weeks before the Olympics by only using Collagen Sport. 
I am a Clinical Nutritionist and teach Sports Nutrition at the college level. I constantly preach to my students that a good post-workout shake is far and away the most important supplements an athlete or fitness enthusiast can take. It would be difficult to piecemeal together a number of different supplements to get everything NeoCell’s Collagen Sport provides in one convenient powder. Simply mix one scoop in a shaker cup within 1 hour after a workout in either almond milk or water and enjoy all the delicious benefits!
For additional benefits or to assist the body with injury healing any of our best-selling collagen products can be taken in addition to Collagen Sport. 
Collagen supplements affect the whole body, so in addition to joint and bone strength, they will get the added benefit of smoother, younger looking skin and thicker hair.

Emotional Assault: Recognizing the Abusive Partners Bag of Tricks by Lisa Kraulik






















Emotional Assault: Recognizing the Abusive Partners Bag of Tricks by Lisa Kraulik

I chose to review this book not only because I am focused on reaching out and helping woman in these types of situations, but also because I experienced this type of abuse for many years. I had to learn on my own that I was not a horrible wife and mother as I was told daily. I had to learn on my own how and that it was ok for me to leave. This book should be share with many others so that others can know before it is too late. I still suffer from occasional relapses and its been more than ten years later.  Kraulik did a tremendous job explaining the cycles of emotional abuse through her own story. Although my story differed slightly, the results were the same. I suffered anxiety and poor self image. I as terrified to say or do anything that may set my ex off.
I applaud Kraulik for being brave enough to share her story. Woman need to know that they are not alone. Woman (and men) need to know that emotional abuse is real and just as consequential as physical abuse. I recommend this book to anyone, not just those who are in situations like these, but so that woman (and men) can learn the signs, can learn how to help others.



Book Description by Publisher
When most people think of abuse, images of domestic violence come to mind. However, there is a much more subtle form of abuse that takes place in many marriages and intimate relationships today that also deserve recognition. Emotional abuse is difficult to overcome because it is often impossible to identify. While domestic abuse is tragic, there is no denying the bruises and broken bones that occur as a result. Emotional abuse, on the other hand, is often referred to as invisible abuse because there are no physical scars. This leaves the victim in a perpetual state of confusion and self-blame.

In this book, author Lisa Kroulik identifies eight common tactics that emotionally abusive people use to control their partners, such as giving the silent treatment or playing the victim. Ms. Kroulik uses examples from her relationship with her former husband to help readers name abusive tactics in their own relationships. As she states in the introduction to this book, knowledge is power. After identifying a trait of emotionally abusive partners, Ms. Kroulik goes on to offer suggestions on how to confront it. She makes it clear that confronting the behavior may not make it stop and that each woman needs to decide for herself if her relationship is worth saving.

The second section of Emotional Assault helps the reader assess her current relationship and provides resources should she decide to end it. It is a hopeful, engaging book that empowers emotionally abused women to change their lives. The author is living proof that it is possible to learn from the abusive relationship and make better choices the next time around. She has been happily remarried for three years to a man she refers to as the anti-narcissist.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
