your results are in
your gut needs some serious love
what do your results mean?
Okay, girl. Let’s get down to business. Your gut health is a make or break component to your energy. When your gut isn’t functioning properly, the rest of your body is taking the heat—and all of your energy goes to dealing with that instead of giving you the fire you need to live your most fabulous life. And we can’t have that.
There’s many reasons why you might be feeling like you’re running on fumes most of the time, but the 3 below are some of the most common. And based on your quiz responses, I’d be willing to bet that at least one of these – if not all of them – apply to you.
The good news is that you can fix it, because I’m going to show you how. So let’s get to it!
what’s the real reason you feel tired?
YOUr GUT HEALTH IS COMPROMISED
Even if you have good poos and you don’t deal with tummy aches, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you have good gut health. The health of your gut impacts SO much more than digestion and daily bowel movements. Some of those annoying symptoms that you’ve been noticing regularly (and perhaps more frequently) are also signs of poor gut health. Any of this sound familiar?
- Brain fog (um, what was I saying…?)
- Acne and breakouts (hello, aren’t I well past puberty?!)
- Mood swings and irritability (literally anything my partner or kids say is annoying)
- Depression
- Eczema and rashes
- Floating poop or whole food in poop (red flag for nutrient malabsorption)
- Eating processed food or inorganic food for more than 2-3 meals/week
- Taking antibiotics (present or past)
- ALWAYS (or nearly always) feeling stressed out
- Not drinking enough water (hello constipation)
These are common issues for many women and most people have been duped into believing that if they don’t have diarrhea, bloating, gas, acid reflux, GERD or constipation that requires an over the counter drug then they have great gut health! But the truth is: the absence of symptoms doesn’t necessarily equal the presence of health.
Because none of the above is healthy and a lot of it is not even normal.
- Pooping only 3 times a week is NOT NORMAL
- Routinely forgetting what you were about to get/do/say is NOT NORMAL
- Bloating to the size of a pregnant woman 6 months along is NOT NORMAL
- And having no energy along with these symptoms is definitely NOT NORMAL
Here’s the thing: you should be pooping at least once a day. You should be able to eat a meal without having to unbutton your jeans. And you should be able to wake up every morning with energy that lasts past lunchtime.
So, let’s get your gut right.
Here’s where you can start
Eat Healthy,
whole foods & avoid processed
Definitely do not eat when you are stressed
build in time for relaxation
eat fermented foods
avoid antibiotics and medications as much as you can
lay low on sugar
I encourage you to work on all of these things because they’re important! But they do require lifestyle changes that can be inconvenient and hard to stick to. Consistently eating healthy is a lot easier said than done. And as a mom of 4 young kids, I know how challenging it can be to build time in for relaxation every day.
While there isn’t exactly a shortcut to healing, superfoods are the next best thing! I think of them as a good solid jump start. Ever had your car just…not turn on because the battery was dead? Me, too. Not fun.
That’s kind of how it feels when you’re fighting fatigue every day. It’s like your body and brain just won’t turn on.
Superfoods can give you that jump start to help you feel alive again and put that pep back in your step so you actually have the energy to work on the lifestyle stuff.
Consider superfoods the secret sauce to seeing results (more energy!) and forward momentum without having to overhaul your lifestyle.
A simple superfood routine you can start with is to take a daily dose of clinically proven collagen infused with vitamins and adaptogens. Collagen is the most abundant source of protein in the body and is a proven powerhouse for strengthening the gut and promoting radiant skin. Grab your bottle at the link below.
Reason #2
You’re Not Getting enough nutrients
You need vitamins girl. Lots of ’em.
How else are you going to have the energy to carpool those kids, crush that presentation, get dinner on the table before 9:00 pm and go to the gym so you can slay in those jeans? You have to fuel all of that fabulousness, honey.
If you want to feel good and look good, your body needs a ton of minerals and nutrients. Because when you don’t get enough you won’t feel so hot. You won’t feel like YOU. Here’s just a few indications that you might be running low:
- Feeling sluggish or chronically tired (kinda why you’re here, right?)
- Brain fog
- Skin issues
- Lackluster hair
- Brittle nails
- Moodiness and irritability
- Increased anxiety and restlessness
- Hormone issues
When you’re not getting enough nutrients, your body prioritizes your most basic needs. And your mental clarity, libido and overall zest for life is put on the back burner.
But it’s not your fault. It’s our agriculture system. And the food industry.
Research has proven that our food is not as nutrient dense as it used to be – primarily due to soil depletion from conventional farming practices. This basically means that the apples your great granny was picking were more nutrient rich than the ones you’re eating today.
And the food industry isn’t helping us either. I’m a mom of 4 young kids and believe me when I say I understand that drive-thrus and packaged foods are so much easier. But when we start pinching pennies where it really counts, we’re only signing up ourselves and our loved ones for expensive disease care down the road.
After 10 years of health consulting and running functional lab tests, Dr. Jones (my husband) and I have never seen a perfect micronutrient profile – even among the healthiest eaters. Adequate nutrients are SO important! This is why supplementation with a high quality multivitamin is essential.
Our Super Infused Collagen contains clinically proven collagen AND essential vitamins and nutrients so you can feel your best. How’s that for killing two birds with one stone? Get your bottle at the link below.
reason #3
YOu’re under too much stress
Nothing will destroy your energy quite like stress. This is the elephant in the room and likely the catalyst for so many of the issues you’re struggling with. Often the stress you’re experiencing is external (who the heck dumped legos in the toilet…again?!). But what happens internally because of the stress sets off a chain of events that promotes a cycle of low energy.
When we feel stress, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, creating a fight or flight response. This is normal biology and not an issue if it happens sparingly.
But when we’re in fight or flight mode multiple times a day or even the majority of the day (as many people are) it can start to take a toll. You can begin to suffer from:
- Lack of mental / emotional energy
- Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
- Anxiety
- Feeling on edge all the friggin’ time
- Energy crashes
- Food cravings (did I really just eat that whole box?)
- Difficulty losing weight
- Hormone imbalances
You can protect and preserve your energy by having a daily plan to support a healthy stress response. This means setting aside time every day to take care of you. Forget about self-care Sunday. You need self-care EVERY day.
Self-care doesn’t mean that you have to be at the spa with your girlfriends sipping mimosas while you sample exotic chocolates. What it does mean is taking time – any time – for yourself to unwind the mental and physical knots that are absolutely unavoidable for most of us on any given day.
Do whatever is healthful and nourishing for you: take a walk outside, do some work in your garden, meet up and chat with a friend you haven’t seen in a while, soak in a hot bubble bath, write in a journal, work on a jigsaw puzzle, get a massage, go for a workout, take an extra long hot shower, make yourself a cup of tea, flip through a magazine, read a book you love, do some stretches, kick your feet up and do nothing for 15 minutes.
Just do something that feels rejuvenating and get out of the mental and physical gymnastics of the day.
If you want extra support, adding adaptogens to your daily routine is a game changer. If you’ve never heard of adaptogens, they are natural herbal remedies that help your body adapt to stress and return to homeostasis. They are powerful allies to support high energy, low stress and restful sleep. And they are included in our Super Infused Collagen which you can snatch up at the link below.

How This helps you
For most people, chronic stress is linked to their low energy in some way – whether it’s physical, mental or emotional. We know that chronic stress is very hard on the digestive system. This is because stress activates the sympathetic nervous system, eliciting a flight or fight response.
This limits bodily resources available to your gut and depletes nutrient stores which can cause damage over time. Here’s how our Beauty Collagen Complex can help:
- *Clinically proven collagen heals the gut and promotes healthy digestion
- *15+ vitamins and minerals nourish your body from within
- *Adaptogens help you respond well to every day stressors
- *Enhanced bioavailability increases absorption for better results
- *Mouth watering vanilla honey flavor makes it easy to add to your routine
*BONUS* In clinical studies our collagen also showed a significant decrease in wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, increased skin’s hydration and strengthened hair (1, 2, 3).
Mix our delicious blend into coffee, smoothies or plain water for all the superfood support you need in one place. When you order today, we’ll also send you our All Day Energy Protocol to help you feel better FASTER .
We HAVE RAVING FANS
Hi there!
I’m ERICA JOnes, MHS
When I was in the throes of debilitating low energy, I was working as a pharmaceutical sales rep, constantly running on empty and 6-piece McNuggets. With a Sprite in hand, I was burning out and breaking out. And I had no idea that my gut health and the stress of my demanding job were connected to my exhaustion and fatigue. I thought it was what happens when you get older. I thought it was normal.
When I met my husband, Dr. Isaac (he’s a functional health doctor), he told me that what we eat directly impacts the way we feel. This was news to me. We ran tests (ones that traditional doctors don’t) and found out that my hormones were a mess and my gut was in shambles.
He put me on a protocol of high-end physician grade supplements. The supplements combined with the lifestyle changes I was making completely changed my life. I stopped feeling like I would die everytime my period started, breakouts subsided and my skin actually started…glowing, I was waking up refreshed instead of feeling like I needed to sleep in for another 2 hours and I finally had the energy to hang out with my girlfriends again.
The supplements I was taking had a huge impact in jumpstarting my healing journey. I definitely had lifestyle changes I needed to make (and I did), but the supplements gave me the nutrients and energy I needed to actually work on the lifestyle stuff. Without them, it would’ve taken a lot longer because I had NO energy. But it wasn’t easy.
Back then I had to take a fistful of pills every day just to cover all of the bases. It felt like such a chore because I was already exhausted. And it was also super expensive.
I shouldn’t have had to do that. YOU shouldn’t have to do that.
One morning as I was opening the bottles of over a dozen supplements and nutrients, I thought to myself, “This sucks. There has to be a better way.” So standing in my kitchen with bottles spread out all over the counter, we made a decision:
We were going to start a superfood line.
So we took a lot of the pills I was taking and strategically formulated them into easy to use, delicious tasting powders. We’ve helped our private clients improve their energy and optimize their health for years and we finally came out with a superfood line to help people get started on their health journey without having to invest tens of thousands of dollars with us.
The Elevays Superfood line is a labor of love and packed full of nutrient dense, meticulously selected ingredients because we don’t mess around when it comes to quality. This is why our superfoods are more of an investment than the run of the mill greens powder you’ll find on the shelves of big box stores. Our products are premium and it’s because they’re the best. And that’s what you deserve.
