Synergy Soccer Star Spotlight

If you find yourself trying to get a soccer ball past Katherine Lynch, you are going to have your work cut out for you. Katherine, a senior at Montgomery High School in New Jersey, already has a few championships under her belt and she’s looking for more. Katherine is currently in the running for the title of New Jersey’s “Best Defender” because she plays hard, she plays smart, and she stays healthy.

Her mother, Synergy Team Member Dr. Teresa Lynch, believes in sharing the benefits of Synergy products with everyone, especially her family. For this reason, Katherine has the opportunity to experience Synergy supplements on a regular basis, and realize the great ways they affect her day and her soccer game.

Synergy WorldWide: What do you love most about soccer?
Katherine Lynch: It’s just something I love to do. I love the feeling it gives me when I play. It takes me away from stress. You just play, having fun with your best friends.

SWW: You are a defensive player. Isn’t it true that players on defense have to be stronger than the strikers?
KL: [laughs] Yeah.

SWW: So what is your training like?
KL: During high school season, we practice five days a week, and we have two games per week. I’ll go to the weight room sometimes with my friend and do workouts. Then after I work out, after resistance training, I have a Maximum Protein shake when I get home.

SWW: Tell us how you use Synergy products to improve your performance.
KL: Every morning I have the vanilla Health Shake for breakfast. Before I play, I’ll have a drink of ProArgi-9+, either the Active one or just regular.

SWW: How does that Health Shake breakfast affect your day?
KL: It gives me energy, actually. After I drink it, I actually am pretty awake, whereas if I eat other things for breakfast like cereal or toast or something it makes me really tired. These shakes fill me up and keep me going till lunch.

SWW: What’s this upcoming season going to be like for your high school team?
KL: We’re doing pretty well. We’re doing really well actually.

SWW: Are you going to win state?
KL: We’re hoping to. Last year we actually had one of the greatest seasons in the history of our town, basically. We won our conference, our county, our section and we won state.

In the background, Katherine’s mother Terry is heard saying “Tell him you were the starting center!”

KL: And I was the starting center defender. My mom wants me to throw that in. But, yeah, it was a pretty crazy season that I’ll never forget.

SWW: Is it hard to keep good grades when you are a soccer star?
KL: Actually maintaining my grades is harder out of [soccer] season. Being in season keeps me on a schedule and it keeps me grounded and I know I need to get stuff done, so I don’t procrastinate as much. So my grades aren’t a problem because I stay on top of them.

SWW: Health is not a huge focus for many people your age. Often, it’s not until people get older and start losing their health that they realize how important it is to make healthy choices. Why is it already so important to you?
KL: Maintaining my health makes me happy. It gets me in a better mood. When I eat healthy I feel better, my energy is better… Everything is just more positive in my life when  I’m being healthy. When it starts to slip away, like when I’m out of [soccer] season, I’m often not as happy. Then I’m reminded that being healthy and eating healthy is important to being happy.

As was mentioned earlier, Katherine is currently in the running to win the “New Jersey’s Best Defender” award from nj.com. Click the button and cast your vote for Katherine Lynch.

Mark Comer on the Importance of Events

Double Presidential Mark Comer, one of Synergy’s top earners and most successful business builders, is always willing to give expert advice and share his remarkable story. The many Team Members who tuned into the Corporate Update Call earlier in the week heard him specifically mention the importance of events in the course of his career. Following the call, we asked him to elaborate on the subject. This is what he said:

“Believe me, I’ve been with Synergy for a long time, and I’ve seen it over and over again. Events inspire people to build, and people build for events. Just think about Korea. That market started with  just a handful of people going to little local events, and now at the summit, there were over 4000 people.

Events help us in more ways than we even realize. I like feeling the vibe at an event, and then using that to figure out what I need to do next. I’m always telling people to look for events to attend, even if it takes some travel. Great things just start happening when you attend.”

In the spirit of this great advice, here are a few upcoming North American events from our Synergy Events Calendar:

Fun Facts about Cancun with Synergy

One month ago today, we posted a video and introduction to our 2014 Cancun vacation destination. Hopefully that inspired a series of daydreams for you, dreams in which you find yourself on those sandy beaches with the sun on your face and a tropical beverage in your hand.

Synergy North America Team Members: There are still three months left to qualify! Those dreams are within reach— let us help you make them a reality!

In these last three months, as you push yourself to qualify, here are a few fun facts about Cancun to keep you motivated:

1. The average annual temperature in Cancun is 80 degrees Fahrenheit, arguably the most perfect temperature of all temperatures.
2. Cancun is wonderfully sunny 240 days of the year. The other days may have a cloud or two, maybe even a little rain… but they call it paradise for good reason.
3. Cancun’s beaches have white sand, which is made from crushed coral and is not hot to the touch. Just think: Mother Nature spent all that time crushing up coral so you’d have a comfy place to relax next March.
4. In early 2010,
   

   there was a major beach restoration project that included the rebuilding of the beaches in Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Cozumel. The Mexican government invested $71 million US Dollars in the project, which restored 11 kilometers of the area’s beaches. Again, all that money was spent just for you, so that you would have a comfy place to relax with us next March.

5. “Cancun” is the Mayan word for “Nest of Snakes.” I guess snakes are pretty smart. Who wouldn’t want a nest in paradise? For those afraid of snakes… don’t worry. Statistically, you will have a very, very small chance of encountering a snake while vacationing at the Moon Palace with us.
6. This Cancun vacation will be very fun. We will have much more fun, however, if you are with us. That’s a fact.

Remember, you have until the end of the year to make this happen. We’ll be staying at the luxurious Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort from March 20-23 and we are extremely excited. For more information on what it takes to qualify for this Cancun vacation on Synergy’s dime, click here.

Dr. Böger on ProArgi-9+, ADMA and Synergy

Earlier today, Dr. Rainer Böger called from Germany to be joined by a large number of listeners. As this month’s Cardio Call special guest, he explained ProArgi-9+ and the way it acts in the body. If you were unable to join the call don’t worry— the call has been recorded and you can listen to it here at your convenience.

Dr. Böger on ADMA

Some of the major achievements of Dr. Böger’s career involve his research on asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) as a risk marker of vascular disease. In today’s Cardio Call, he took time to address the subject of ADMA and a misunderstanding that is becoming all too common in the industry.

Some have suggested that because ADMA blocks l-arginine that it thereby cancels out all potential benefits of ProArgi-9+ in the body. However, the truth as pointed out by Dr. Böger is that the presence of ADMA in a person’s body is the very reason high quality l-arginine supplementation is so necessary.

“We see 2 out of 3 people have a deficite in l-arginine,” says Dr. Böger. “This, in most people, is not true because they have such low levels of arginine in the blood, but because they have high levels of ADMA in the blood. When someone has high ADMA, that person is in need of additional arginine from a dietary supplement. People who have high ADMA have a high need of l-arginine from ProArgi-9+. We have data to show that for explicitly those with a high ADMA, l-arginine supplements will work well. For those with a low ADMA, the need to have a high dose of arginine supplements is not so great.”

Be sure to listen to the rest of the recording as he explores this subject in greater detail.

About Dr. Böger

Professor Rainer H. Böger, MD, is a leading expert in L-arginine research and member of Synergy’s Medical and Scientific Advisory Board.

After receiving his initial medical training at Hannover Medical School in Hannover, Germany, Dr. Böger then received his postgraduate training in Internal Medicine and Pharmacology both in Hannover and at Stanford University School of Medicine in Stanford, CA.

Dr. Böger is currently the Professor of Clinical Pharmacology and Director of the Institute of Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology at Hamburg University Medical Center, Germany. He is also Director of the Clinical Trial Center North at Hamburg University.

Dr. Böger’s scientific work centers on the early diagnosis and prevention of cardiovascular related diseases. Dating back to the beginning of his medical career, Dr. Böger has been heavily involved in the research and treatment of cardiovascular related diseases. In 1991, while working closely with pharmaceutical drug companies to develop treatments that could combat and alleviate such diseases, he became highly interested in nitric oxide (NO) and its effects on the vascular system.

Over 23 years of academic research has been conducted by Dr. Böger in basic science and clinical studies related to L-arginine and its influence on the body’s ability to produce NO.
Dr. Böger collaborates with renowned institutions like the Mayo Clinic and Stanford University Medical Center. Dr. Böger’s extensive knowledge, expertise, and ongoing research clearly set him apart as one of the world’s leading L-arginine experts
