The Core Four: The Simple Wellness Swaps That Changed Everything

I’ve struggled with gut issues for as long as I can remember.
it didn’t seem to matter what I ate—I’d end up bloated, uncomfortable, & wondering what I did wrong.
dinner out? guaranteed stomach pain.
a “healthy” lunch? still felt off.
no matter how clean I ate, my digestion never felt normal.

I tried everything—probiotics, enzymes, greens powders, gut health supplements with long science-y names that promised to fix it all.
nothing worked.
some made it worse.

I didn’t expect much when I tried Arbonne’s GreenSynergy Elixir.
honestly? I tried it out of desperation.
I figured it would be like all the others—something I’d try for a week & forget about.
but this one was different.
within a few days, I felt less bloated.
within a couple weeks, my digestion started to feel more normal than it had in years.
& I knew something was finally working.

since then, I’ve added a few more products to my routine—simple, supportive things that help me feel like myself again.
I call them my Core Four.
they’re not magic.
but they’ve made more of a difference than anything else I’ve tried.
& if you’ve been feeling off lately—this might be the place to start.

CleanTox Tea – gentle detox support you can sip daily

detoxing doesn’t have to mean restriction, juice cleanses, or quick-fix gimmicks.
your body already has a built-in detox system—your liver & kidneys.
CleanTox Herbal Tea is designed to gently support those organs using a thoughtful blend of 9 botanicals that help your body feel lighter, calmer, & more balanced.

here’s what’s inside & why it works:

  • Milk Thistle – supports healthy liver function & natural detoxification
  • Dandelion Root – supports the kidneys & helps promote fluid balance
  • Peppermint + Licorice Root – soothe & calm the stomach, helping reduce discomfort & support digestive ease
  • Sweet Fennel – an antioxidant-rich herb that supports the maintenance of good health
  • 9 botanical ingredients total, selected to support the body’s natural filtering & digestive systems

together, this caffeine-free herbal blend is made to:
→ support healthy liver + kidney function
→ promote smoother digestion & reduce occasional bloating
→ soothe the stomach & calm the body
→ provide gentle, ongoing support for overall health & well-being

CleanTox Tea is light, herbal, & easy to sip either first thing in the morning to support natural detox pathways, or before bed as a calming nightly ritual.

it’s not about restriction—it’s about restoring balance & giving your body the gentle, steady support it needs to do what it’s meant to do.


EssentialMeal Protein – a complete meal that fuels & satisfies

most protein powders aren’t designed to be a full meal—& it shows.
they often leave you hungry, undernourished, or crashing later in the day.
EssentialMeal Protein is different: it’s a well-rounded, nutrient-dense shake that actually functions as a balanced meal.

designed for anyone needing simple, fast, & complete nutrition, this shake includes:

  • 25g of plant-based protein from pea, rice, hemp, pumpkin seed, & quinoa—providing a full amino acid profile to support muscle repair, satiety, & energy
  • Healthy fats from avocado oil, not seed oils, to support brain function, hormone health, & fullness
  • Carbohydrates for sustained energy & balanced blood sugar
  • A blend of essential vitamins & minerals for immune health, metabolism, & overall wellness
  • Formulated without gluten, soy, dairy, artificial colors, sweeteners, or high fructose corn syrup


what makes this more than just a protein shake:
→ it’s a complete macronutrient profile: protein + healthy fats + carbs
→ it’s gentle on digestion & supports metabolism
→ it’s filling & satisfying—no grazing or sugar crashes afterward
→ it’s vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, & made with clean, simple ingredients

EssentialMeal Protein comes in delicious chocolate, vanilla, or coffee flavors & mixes easily with water or your favorite milk. no blender needed.

whether you’re on-the-go, trying to stabilize your blood sugar, manage your weight, or just don’t have time to make a full meal, this shake offers a convenient & nourishing solution that actually supports your body—not just your appetite.


GreenSynergy Elixir – a daily powerhouse for gut, digestion, & skin

when it comes to greens powders, most of them stop at fruits & vegetables.
GreenSynergy Elixir goes several steps further.

yes, it includes a full serving of fruits & veggies—but it also delivers targeted gut AND skin support in one easy-to-mix packet.

here’s what makes it different:

  • Prebiotics + probiotics support a balanced gut microbiome, which is essential for digestion, immune health, & mood regulation.
  • 13 digestive enzymes help your body break down food more efficiently, improving nutrient absorption and easing bloating & discomfort.
  • Vegan collagen builder combines hyaluronic acid, biotin, & vitamin C to support collagen production from within—benefiting skin, joints, and connective tissue.


this 3-in-1 formula is designed to address common issues like:
→ bloating
→ irregular digestion
→ skin breakouts or dullness
→ poor nutrient absorption
→ sluggish metabolism

it mixes seamlessly into water & has a naturally sweet citrus flavor that’s light & refreshing—not earthy or gritty like many greens powders.

for anyone dealing with chronic bloating, digestive discomfort, or lack of consistency in their gut routine, GreenSynergy Elixir offers a gentle, consistent way to support overall gut health and glow from within—without having to piece together multiple supplements.


Energy Fizz – natural energy without the crash

afternoon crashes, caffeine jitters, & mental fog don’t have to be part of your day.
Energy Fizz is a clean, plant-powered energy supplement designed to give you a steady boost—without the spike-and-crash cycle of coffee or sugary drinks.

what makes it different:

  • 55mg of natural caffeine from green tea & guarana provides sustained energy without overstimulation
  • Nootropic support from ginseng, methylated B vitamins, & guarana enhances mental clarity, focus, & endurance
  • Chromium, sodium, & potassium help maintain energy levels, hydration, & electrolyte balance
  • B vitamins, including riboflavin & niacin, support cellular energy production & help metabolize carbs, fats, & protein for fuel
  • Supports healthy blood sugar levels, helping you stay steady instead of spiking & crashing

this combination works together to:
→ fight fatigue & mental fog
→ support physical & mental endurance
→ enhance focus & alertness
→ promote healthy metabolism
→ reduce reliance on coffee or artificial energy drinks

available in a variety of refreshing, fruity flavors, Fizz mixes easily with water & can be enjoyed anytime you need a gentle boost. there’s even a caffeine-free version for those who prefer non-stimulant support.

if you’re juggling a busy schedule, feeling worn down, or needing help staying sharp throughout the day, Energy Fizz is a clean, convenient way to feel more energized—naturally.


Where to Start

if you’re not sure where to begin, the best place to start is with the Daily Essentials Bundle. it includes three of the four core products—GreenSynergy Elixir, Energy Fizz, & your choice of EssentialMeal Protein flavor. it’s a simple way to build a strong daily routine around gut health, clean energy, & real nourishment.

when you order this bundle, you’ll unlock free shipping and get to choose a free full-sized gift as well. to access this bundle and the best pricing, you’ll enroll as a Preferred Client, which includes a one-time $29 membership fee. this doesn’t sign you up for a subscription or the business side of things—it simply gives you 20% to 40% off everything on the site for a full year.

if you’re curious about trying these products or just want to talk through which flavors or gift might be best for you, I’m always happy to help you get started.


if you’re looking to build on the bundle or personalize your wellness routine a bit more, there are a few simple add-ons that pair really well with the daily essentials. the CleanTox Tea is always a great option. if you’re swapping out coffee, Morning Matcha is a clean source of focused energy with antioxidants. for stress & focus support, InnerCalm & MindHealth are two favorites I reach for during the workday. & if sleep is an issue, DreamTea is a calming, caffeine-free blend to help wind down.

if you’re more interested in skincare, Arbonne’s luxurious plant-based skincare line is another area worth exploring—especially if you’re already focused on beauty from the inside out. everything is formulated without harsh chemicals, & it truly feels like a treat.

Resources, Education, & Community

when you order through my link, you’re not just getting products—you’re getting ongoing support, education, and connection to help you actually use what you’ve ordered & feel confident in the process.

you’ll get access to our preferred client chat, where we share recipes, daily routines, product education, exclusive promos, & tips for making the most of your wellness tools. it’s a space where you can ask questions, get inspired, & be surrounded by people who are on the same path toward feeling their best.

I also send each client a free Nourishment Guide filled with helpful resources like nutritious swaps, snack ideas, simple recipes, & grocery lists to make everyday wellness feel easier & less overwhelming.

you’ll also be added to my monthly email list, where I share exclusive promos, resources, product tips, & new releases—so you never miss out on the things that can support your goals.

this isn’t about doing everything perfectly. it’s about having the tools, community, & encouragement to take care of yourself in a way that works for you. get started HERE.

Put Fresh Eyes on Arbonne

if you’re someone who loves the products & finds yourself talking about them or sharing your wellness wins, it’s worth knowing there’s also a business side to Arbonne.

and no—it’s never something you have to do just because you’re a customer. most people enjoy the products & community without ever exploring the business side, & that’s completely okay.

but if you are looking for an additional stream of income—or even just a way to earn on what you’re already sharing—I’m always happy to chat.

this business can look however you want it to:
→ like an affiliate link where you earn a commission when people shop through you
→ a full-time business you build with a team and long-term growth
→ or something in between that fits your life and goals

if you’re curious, you can click HERE to view the Discover Arbonne slide deck & watch a quick call about what the business can look like, or just upgrade your account HERE to start earning. whether you’re just exploring or ready to go, there’s no pressure—just an open door and someone (me!) who’s happy to walk alongside you.
