I came across this clip the other day and had to share it because it really inspires me when it comes to what we are doing with the e84 Challenge. Through media and advertisement we are bombarded with so much information about prescribed medication and are led to believe that there is a pill to cure just about everything. As you will see in the clip, there is a high price to pay for this and the problem is only getting worse.

In 1990 Americans spent $40 billion on prescription medications and by 2010 that number grew almost six fold to $234 billion. This is certainly not the direction we want to be heading in. As much as this statistic is alarming, I’m inspired by the tremendous opportunity we have to bring that number down just by getting people on our e84 Challenge. When we share the Challenge with others we have no idea what the real impact we are having on that person’s life is. We typically aren’t aware of the medications people are taking or the medications people are taking to deal with the side effects of those medications. Whether a person embarks on a Burn, Fuel, or Edge program, if they plug into the support and stick with the program they WILL notice a difference. It may be in their energy level,weight loss, or simply their outlook on life that improves by completing an e84 Challenge. I love the movement we are creating with this; it’s awesome and can be life changing! Sticking with the Challenge and allowing it to become a lifestyle can potentially help one avoid, reduce or eliminate the need for prescription medication altogether*. We all benefit from reducing the amount of dollars spent on prescription medications.
