Here we are at the end of another year, and I think it’s safe to say that 2020 won’t be one we soon forget. As unprecedented as this year may be, my hope is that we’re all able to find something to be grateful for – however big or small. With everything that’s taken place, I believe the greatest thing 2020 has given us is the gift of perspective. I’m proud to say that the Herbalife Nutrition family has taken this year in stride and truly made our own special brand of lemonade from lemons. Who would’ve thought that we would see amazing product launches, record sales, and incredible growth at a time like this? It’s the hard work, the determination and the sheer passion for helping others that made that possible, and it’s a testament to the commitment of our stellar Herbalife Nutrition Independent Distributors, as well as each and every person in this company.

I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that when the going got tough, our Distributors got tougher. But then again, what else would you expect from such a remarkable group of individuals? Not only did they rise to the occasion; they managed to elevate their communities while doing so. For many, the unforeseen circumstances of the pandemic meant reinventing their businesses and operations to ensure their network could still access the good nutrition and support they rely on. From implementing curbside pickup at Nutrition Clubs to hosting virtual Herbalife Nutrition Opportunity Meetings, our Distributors kept a can-do attitude while keeping everything running smoothly. When in-person events were canceled, our incredible staff and Distributor leaders came together to create exceptional virtual experiences, like the April Leadership Development Weekend (our first-ever online event), which had more than 17,000 participants, the Herbalife Nutrition Extravaganza with over 60,000 participants, and the October Leadership Development Weekend with more than 30,000 participants. This was no small feat, but there would be no reason for these grand online events if it weren’t for our committed community of Distributors and their desire to come together to learn and grow. To everyone in the Herbalife Nutrition family: I have to say a huge thank you for exceeding all expectations, for keeping the momentum alive and for lifting each other up when we all needed it most. This year, Herbalife Nutrition turned 40, and although we couldn’t quite celebrate with a yearlong parade of parties as we’d envisioned, we proved that #WeLiveItUp under any circumstances. At the end of the day, the success of our Distributors and our community is our greatest gift, and we couldn’t ask for more than that! Let’s finish 2020 on a strong note and carry that same fiery energy into 2021! Have a happy, safe and healthy holiday season – I look forward to reconnecting next year. Warm regards,

For those of us who do not struggle to gain access to proper nutrition, it’s hard to imagine a world in which 2 billion people are facing hunger, but the truth is, this number is on the rise. At Herbalife Nutrition, we pride ourselves on the quality of our products because we know that one of the greatest gifts we can give is good nutrition, especially to those who so desperately need it. That is why we’re committed to doing our part to cut this number to zero – zero empty plates, zero food insecurity, and zero hunger.

Last year we launched Nutrition for Zero Hunger, our global corporate social responsibility initiative that is centered around eliminating global hunger and malnutrition. Since then, we have partnered with several leading organizations, including World Food Program USA, Feed the Children, The Hunger Project and more, to strategically work together to provide valuable resources to underserved communities. Together, we are working to take hunger to zero, and we all know that when we work together, we can get the job done. World Food Day was October 16, and to highlight that, we’ve dedicated this month to further raising awareness for this incredibly important cause. To find out more about the impact of the Nutrition for Zero Hunger initiative and other ways you can personally get involved, be sure to check out this month’s feature article. Finally, I’d like to leave you with this food for thought: The goal is zero, together we are one, and the opportunities are limitless. Let’s make it happen! Warm regards,

Ibi Montesino Senior Vice President and Managing Director, North America

Business

Back in the late ’80s, my partners and I made a huge investment to open a spa in Vancouver, British Columbia, but after two years, we could barely afford to pay ourselves. That financial strain made things tense at home and put a lot of pressure on my marriage, which eventually lead to a separation. In hopes of helping our spa clients gain a better understanding of how food can fuel them from the inside out, we hired a nutritionist. I have her to thank for introducing us to Herbalife Nutrition because at some point, everything just clicked. We saw our spa clients achieve amazing results, and I finally saw hope for a better future. Because our clients were looking and feeling better each time I saw them, I asked my Wellness Coach if I could begin retailing to my friends. She explained to me that I could, but I should work on becoming a product of the products before I started the business aspect. Through many conversations, my Wellness Coach helped me realize that I wasn’t getting enough essential nutrients like protein or calcium. Once I balanced out my nutrition regimen with the support of the products and kept up my running routine, I ended up dropping from a size 8 to a size 2.* My Wellness Coach was right, those results gave me the confidence to jump in and become an Herbalife Nutrition Independent Distributor myself. Fast forward eight months, I was able to use some of my first profits to go to marriage counseling, and I took a 90-day break from the spa to refocus on my marriage and lock in on my new business.

The road to President’s Team and beyond hasn’t always been the smoothest, but Herbalife Nutrition Founder and First Distributor, Mark Hughes (1956-2000), taught us how to adjust our attitudes to weather the storms by spending 5 percent of our time identifying the problem and 95 percent of our time on finding solutions. As with anything, circumstances have thrown all kinds of obstacles in my path that would stop most people in their track, but I’ve learned that obstacles are good because they cause us to grow and learn. One of my biggest struggles is in realizing my dream of impacting the First Nations of Canada, in particular my home province of British Columbia. Although times are changing, colonialism runs strong on reservations and within First Nation governance.

I attempted to make inroads in programs funded by Canadian government agencies, but I was always met with the roadblock of not having a degree to prove my worth, but Business Philosopher and Motivational Speaker Jim Rohn (1930–2009) said, "Don't wish it was easier wish you were better." Five years ago, the opportunity to achieve an MBA specializing in Indigenous Leadership at Simon Fraser University arose. I applied, and to my surprise, I was accepted into the program. I am resilient and always remind myself that I am the biggest asset I have. Something Mark Hughes and Jim Rohn taught us in the early days is, “If it is to be, it is up to me,” meaning we should take full responsibility for where we are and where we are not. I have gone fast and I’ve gone slow, but I’ve never once entertained the thought of giving up.

Balance is a relatively new buzzword, but I was privy to it 28 years ago when I got pregnant with our first child. When I worked, I worked. When I spent time with my family, I was all in – a “present parent” as we call it these days. I have been so fortunate to be part of a company that values family, and I consider myself blessed to have spent the time with our son and daughter that I have. We often ask new customers and team members, “What is your why?” I can say that mine isn’t always the same but no matter what it is, it’s always my motivation to keep going.

With more than 30 years as a Distributor under my belt and an Executive MBA in Indigenous Leadership, the next five to 10 years will be the most pivotal as I develop a team of Indigenous People to introduce Nutrition Clubs in remote communities where good nutrition is either overpriced or unavailable entirely. My drive is to empower Indigenous communities to take their wellness back through the Nutrition Club model. Indigenous communities have had little to no exposure to Herbalife Nutrition or a healthy, active lifestyle model since the Medicine Wheel guide, a sacred symbol that represents several spiritual concepts. While understanding we live between the world of traditional and contemporary knowledge, we have an opportunity to take advantage of modern-day nutrition to meet Indigenous People’s needs, while exploring the two worlds. But, of course, it is not as easy as waving a magic wand. It takes time, commitment, and patience to make sustainable lifestyle changes.

Indigenous laws and traditions have survived through oral stories, and those oral traditions parallel the Herbalife Nutrition culture of sharing stories to inspire a healthy life. Just as Indigenous People sit in a circle to learn and share, we often break out into smaller groups and sit in a circle at our various events to learn from the Herbalife Nutrition community. The Nutrition Club model offers an opportunity to move away from government dependence and big industry, making room for public-spirited leadership with strong community engagement and empowerment. Businesses such as Nutrition Clubs can create community cohesion, impact cultural recreation, and encourage participation from youth to elders, while strengthening the social structure. I truly believe Nutrition Clubs offer the best of the two worlds, allowing these communities to rebuild with modern wellness principles and science-backed products, while also incorporating traditional practices. My intention is to deposit the Nutrition Club wellness delivery system into the hands of purpose-driven entrepreneurs, especially in Canadian First Nations.

Picture this: It’s 2040, every Canadian city is bustling with vibrant Indigenous People, and every Indigenous community is productive in the enterprise; every Indigenous person walks with pride and confidence; and racism and poverty are eradicated. When our social fabric deteriorates, so does our ability to thrive. Healing from decades of trauma is not an overnight process, but we are resilient. Nutrition Clubs offer encouragement to come out of the shadows and into the light of vibrancy and balance. That is the type of legacy I want to leave behind.

I’m not special, I’ve just made up my mind that I will never quit. I am first and foremost an advocate of delivering balanced nutrition to my clients. Retailing has always been my forte because I came to the business to make a difference in others’ health and wellness. When my clients get great results, they naturally tell their friends, and those referrals ultimately help me build my team. All of this to say, I feel great about the impact I’ve made by helping people help people.

Can you walk us through your story and how you got to where you are today?

People who replace two meals a day with Herbalife Nutrition Formula 1 as part of a healthy lifestyle (such as lowering caloric intake, eating a healthy, balanced diet or engaging in regular physical activity), can generally expect to lose around half a pound to 1 pound per week.

It’s incredible to think how different life was a little over a decade ago. When I was just 25 years old, my weight was the highest it had ever been, and emotionally, I was at my lowest. I weighed 350 pounds back then and had a body fat percentage just shy of 50 percent. I remember feeling extremely uncomfortable in my skin, frustrated by my circumstances and upset by the lack of hope I had in my future.

The top 1% of Distributors are typically President’s Team members. The time it took them to reach President’s Team typically ranges between 5 and 11 years. Requires skill, consistent work and dedication. For typical earnings, see Statement of Average Gross Compensation at HerbalifeNutrition.com/SAGC. People who replace two meals a day with Herbalife Nutrition Formula 1 as part of a healthy lifestyle (such as lowering caloric intake, eating a healthy, balanced diet or engaging in regular physical activity), can generally expect to lose around half a pound to 1 pound per week.

It all came full circle when I met a group of Distributors who fit the profile of people who had bullied me in the past – athletic, attractive, the football player type. Meeting them changed everything because they embraced and accepted me genuinely and openly. Through them, I realized that there are people in the world who love and support others for who they are, no matter their background. Their unconditional love helped me finally love myself. My life was transforming, and I finally felt I could be my most authentic self – it was earth shattering! Over time, I was able to lose 100 pounds and gain much more self-confidence. I got plugged into even more local events and started building relationships like I never had before. And one relationship has come to mean even more to me now.* Four years ago, I met the man who would become my husband at a healthy, active lifestyle event. Our lives began to intertwine more and more through Fitness Camps, Herbalife Nutrition events and long walks around downtown Chicago. Oscar and I just celebrated our two-year wedding anniversary this year and getting to do this business together has been a dream. We love that we’re able to work from home, from our Nutrition Club or from any vacation destination we choose. This opportunity has allowed us to truly live a life neither of us could have imagined.

Can you walk us through your story and how you got to where you are today?

What are some of the challenges you’ve faced along the way and how have they shaped you into who you are today?

Throughout my teens and even into adulthood, I struggled with my identity and never felt truly accepted. Deep down, I knew who I was, but I was so afraid to own my identity and come out as gay. This was the early 2000s, so times were different. I remember seeing the news of all the hate crimes against gay individuals, and I’d even had friends whose families had disowned them when they came out. In high school, before I was ever openly out, I remember being bullied and having slurs keyed into the side of my car. I just felt like society was against me. I was so afraid of what people would think of me or how they would treat me if they found out I was gay, so I spent a long time carrying around this immense sense of shame. It stunted my inner growth in a way because I felt I could never be myself. In order to just exist, I had to act like someone else, become someone else. I desperately wanted to be liked and to fit in, so I would sometimes lie to people around me, hoping they would at least like me for the lie so that if they did find out I was gay, it wouldn't matter because of all the other things I was pretending to be.

I’m not special, I’ve just made up my mind that I will never quit.

Indigenous laws and traditions have survived through oral stories, and those oral traditions parallel the Herbalife Nutrition culture of sharing stories to inspire a healthy life.

I want to continue to lead people down a road to where they can be authentic, transparent and fully self-expressed in every area of who they are. I want to be a light for other people so that they can do the same and spread that light to someone else. Some artwork that I keep in my house reads, “Live. Love. Lead. Inspire.” That’s what we’re doing here in Herbalife Nutrition and what we’re meant to be doing in our everyday lives. I encourage my community to identify how they’re showing up in the world; how they’re interacting with others; how they’re running their days, and then I have them ask themselves what about those things did they or didn’t they love. Something I tell my team members is: If there’s any part of your day that you didn’t love, you get the opportunity to fix it. If you didn’t love who you were that day, chances are you didn’t show up as your authentic self and that’s why it didn’t feel right. I want others to know that the best part is, transformation is always possible if you speak it and if you believe it. My mission is to help people create a life that feeds their soul.

Nutrition Clubs offer encouragement to come out of the shadows and into the light of vibrancy and balance. That is the type of legacy I want to leave behind.

Before I started Herbalife Nutrition, I was a single mom to my daughter, I was feeling depressed, and I didn't know where or what I wanted to do with my life. I struggled to break my bad habits, and I wanted to find a way to improve my health and lifestyle. One day, my close friend, who would babysit my daughter, appeared different. I noticed a transformation, and it inspired me to ask what she was doing differently. I thought, “I want to be like her!” She told me she had joined Herbalife Nutrition and was becoming more health- and wellness-focused. She told me all about her experience, kindly educated me about the products, and helped me envision a new path for myself. When I eventually joined a Weight Loss Challenge, I started seeing amazing results and even had more energy, which was incredible. My friend helped me realize that you often don't know how bad you feel until you start feeling good. And at that point, I started to feel even better and look great, too!

I want to offer the best nutrition for all and inspire others to see what’s possible by sharing what has worked for me!

There was a bit of a learning curve when I first started my business, as I had to adapt to different tools and essentially learn as I went. I ultimately decided to utilize social media as a way to introduce people to our programs, and am proud to have also helped make an impact in a wide network within the deaf community. I want to make sure the deaf community knows how important nutrition is for their overall wellness. Last year, I was struggling in my business, but my upline mentor and another coach told me not to give up. They encouraged me to join their structure system to get my business back on track. I gave myself one more chance to recommit and work with them before calling it quits. Because I was able to stick to my goals and make it beyond that bump in the road, I was able to learn more new tools and now face other challenges with fresh perspective.

What are some of the challenges you’ve faced along the way and how have they shaped you into who you are today?

Looking ahead, what are your goals for the future?

When you speak of me, I want you to tell people about my winning and relentless spirit.

This battle was something I would have never had the strength or courage to fight on my own, and I’m so glad that I don’t have to.

Every day, my goal is to uplift, encourage, and inspire people to know that it doesn’t matter what they’ve been through or what they’re currently battling, there is hope and light at the end of the road.

There is no community like the Herbalife Nutrition community, and when they have your back, you feel like you can conquer anything that is put in front of you.

Can you walk us through your story and how you got to where you are today?

What are some of the challenges you’ve faced along the way and how have they shaped you into who you are today?

After that humiliating experience at the gym, I decided I never wanted to work out in front of anyone else ever again. But I also knew I needed to get my health back on track, which of course meant losing weight. I soon joined a coed volleyball team, thinking that if I could at least be outside in the sun, moving around and breaking a sweat, that would help me jump-start the weight loss. I was placed on a team that had one spot left, and as fate would have it, it was a team of Herbalife Nutrition Independent Distributors. Soon after, they invited me down to their Nutrition Club, where I had my very first Formula 1 shake and fell in love with the taste. I saw the results that my Wellness Coach had gotte Around that time, I was working as an executive recruiter. During the economic downturn in 2009 and 2010, many of the companies I was recruiting for went on hiring freezes, so my commissions completely seized up. I was desperately looking for ways to make extra income, so when my Coach told me about the Herbalife Nutrition opportunity, I said, “Absolutely!” It all started with a Shake Party at my cousin’s house, where I invited 10 of my friends and family members. Just from that two-hour party, I was able to actually make a decent profit and I thought, “If I can do this, what can I accomplish if I give it my full effort?” And, with a lot of hard work and dedication, I’ve been full time ever since. The thing that Herbalife Nutrition has given me that is even more valuable than the money I was able to make, is the ability to be myself – 100% and unapologetically. Learning how to love myself for myself, regardless of what other people thought has been the biggest challenge I’ve faced, but I was able to get to this point through the support of my Herbalife Nutrition family. n, so I decided to try some of the other products as well. I quickly started seeing results, and for the first time in a long time, I had a bit of hope for a better future.

I’m proud of the fact that when we share this opportunity with someone and they say, “Yes,” we’ve given them hope – whether it be hope for health and wellness results or hope for additional income. Having been in a dark, hopeless place in the past, it brings me such joy to know that this opportunity is helping others find their way out of that same place. Hope is a powerful thing. I think the thing that sets me apart is my ability to really feel what others are feeling; I’m incredibly empathic in that way. This strength enables me to dig deeper with others to understand why they’re going through what they’re going through and help them see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m able to use those past feelings of powerlessness to understand and empower others, and that, to me, feels amazing.

As we continue to break barriers and change the culture of our community and nation, we want to set an example for people to see that you can be successful in this company as a young, powerful black couple.

This time last year, I got the worst news of my life, but we immediately started taking the steps I needed to survive. At 27 years old, I could have never imagined getting the phone call with results that I had breast cancer. One in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. One in every 2,000 women in their twenties are diagnosed with breast cancer. October 25, 2019, I became that one. I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, which is more likely to affect younger women, African Americans and/or those with a BRAC1 gene mutation. How did the diagnosis make me feel? Shocked, overwhelmed, afraid, worried and sad, but ultimately, I was ready for the fight. I felt like it was all a bad dream, wishing I could wake up and it would all be over. My whole life changed overnight. With one lump; one doctor’s appointment; a mammogram; an ultrasound; a biopsy; and one phone call, my life changed forever. The first few weeks after I was diagnosed were a blur. I was consumed with more appointments, tests, needles and procedures than ever in my life – my days were spent fully focused on those tests, the impending results, and quite a bit of research. How does a 27 year old process all of this? The median age of diagnosis of breast cancer for women in the U.S. is 62 years old. Prior to this diagnosis, my most recent Google search was, “How to get rid of dark eye marks,” so I had no clue what a cure for cancer would require of me. As the saying goes, “Put your problem in the pot, and I bet you’ll want yours back.”

I’ve been on the scariest roller coaster of my life this past year. Sixteen rounds of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy during the COVID-19 pandemic, a six-day hospitalization, and all the side effects I was left with – not only physically, but mentally and emotionally – were rough. My life was flipped upside down, but late at night, I would sit in bed and recite, “Joy comes in the morning,” and it always does. Joy is here, it’s always here. How we choose to perceive it is up to us. I am blessed and grateful to have been able to finish my chemotherapy treatment strong. It was hard, I could cry thinking about what I went through, but my spirit is celebrating and excited to move into the next chapter of my life. During this journey, I had bad days, but the good days far outweighed the bad. I try to share as much of my journey as possible because one day someone we love may also have to meet this fight head on.

When you speak of me, I want you to tell people about my winning and relentless spirit. Tell them how my faith and belief in God brought me through. Tell them how I weathered the storm with the love of my life by my side. Tell them how my family, friends, my city and the Herbalife Nutrition community came together and how we had so many people fighting alongside us. Tell them about the millions of strangers who prayed for me and kept me encouraged. I want you to tell them that cancer didn’t cripple me, it didn’t steal my peace and it didn’t steal my joy. I want you to tell them that everything has a way of working out. Tell them how there’s beauty in the chaos, there’s purpose in the journey, there’s victory in the setbacks and how love will always win. Shattered seeds still grow, and even the sourest lemons life has to offer still make lemonade.

What hurt me the most is knowing how healthy I was physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It wasn’t so much of a “Why me?” but more of a “How me?” I’m the person who can turn every situation upside down, but I had no answers for this. There was no history of cancer in my family, so I quickly learned that this disease doesn’t discriminate against anyone. This battle was something I would have never had the strength or courage to fight on my own, and I’m so glad that I don’t have to. My faith in the midst of the battle gave me protection, assurance, and a guarantee that I would survive.

My husband and I decided to work this business together after getting married in 2016 and it’s been a blessing working side by side with him since then. Before my diagnosis, we owned a Nutrition Club for two and a half years where we were able to provide a massive service and make an impact in our community, a place where nutrition, fitness, love, and light were needed on all levels. We created a safe place for people from all walks of life to come and get healthy in every area of their lives. Herbalife Nutrition was that bridge for us to create that and we are forever grateful for the opportunity. We are known for: Our hearts. Our light. Our energy. Our love. We show up with an intention every day to give without expecting anything in return, and I believe that is what sets us apart from others. Because of who we are and what we embody, the love that we give on a consistent daily basis came back to us tenfold when I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

There is no community like the Herbalife Nutrition community, and when they have your back, you feel like you can conquer anything that is put in front of you. Because of that alone, I am proud to be a Distributor.

I want to continue to show and lead people to a life of personal freedom – in all areas of their lives – whether it be spiritually, physically or mentally. I want to continue to share my light and unconditional love with people from a space of authenticity; with a goal in mind of creating a belief system that they too can pour into the lives of others. I have a passion for helping and inspiring women to see their worth, build their confidence, and become entrepreneurs, and because of the Herbalife Nutrition opportunity, I have the keys to a powerful vehicle for them to do so. Every day, my goal is to uplift, encourage, and inspire people to know that it doesn’t matter what they’ve been through or what they’re currently battling, there is hope and light at the end of the road. I want my journey and my victory to show people that through God and with faith, all things are possible.

I got started with the Herbalife Nutrition business six years ago, at a time when I was in jeopardy of losing my basketball scholarship due to being overweight and out of shape. After losing 26 pounds and falling in love with the amazing community I was a part of, it only made sense to start paying it forward and helping others see what was possible for themselves through Herbalife Nutrition.* As we got deeper into my treatment, we had to make a decision to close our Nutrition Club, but the amazing thing about this opportunity is that we can work our business from home and that’s exactly what we did. After moving all of our challenges online and using social media to build our business, our team grew closer than ever before, and we were able to achieve the Millionaire Team level.

When you speak of me, I want you to tell people about my winning and relentless spirit.

This battle was something I would have never had the strength or courage to fight on my own, and I’m so glad that I don’t have to.

There is no community like the Herbalife Nutrition community, and when they have your back, you feel like you can conquer anything that is put in front of you.

I want to continue to share my light and unconditional love with people from a space of authenticity.

What are some of the challenges you’ve faced along the way and how have they shaped you into who you are today?

Tell us about your Herbalife Nutrition business. What are you most proud of as a Distributor and what sets you apart from others?

DIAMONIQUE

Can you walk us through your story and how you got to where you are today?

The future is very bright, and also incredibly clear for us within our Herbalife Nutrition business. As we continue to break barriers and change the culture of our community and nation, we want to set an example for people to see that you can be successful in this company as a young, powerful black couple. I will continue to do the work to become the best version of myself and take the daily action to move my business forward to create a life unlike anything my family could have ever imagined. What that looks like for us is Senior Executive President’s Team 30K. We see it every day, we talk about it constantly – not only what the additional income will do for our family, but the impact that will come from such a powerful step up.*

Looking ahead, what are your goals for the future?

*People who replace two meals a day with Herbalife Nutrition Formula 1 as part of a healthy lifestyle (such as lowering caloric intake, eating a healthy, balanced diet or engaging in regular physical activity), can generally expect to lose around half a pound to 1 pound per week. *Reaching higher levels in the Sales & Marketing Plan is not typical and requires consistent work, skill, and dedication. For typical results see Herbalife.com/SAGC.

What’s your purpose or personal mission?

I want to continue to share my light and unconditional love with people from a space of authenticity.
