Change Your Mind… Your Habits… Your Life. Today.
BODi Supplements
Beachbody, now BODi, has long been known for Shakeology. I am happy to report that the company Beachbody has gone through a rebrand and is now known as BODi! Woohoo! Such a great rebrand. But they didn’t just rebrand the name, they rebranded their entire stance and platform.
If you are scratching your head wondering what BODi is, then read the article What is BODi and all will be clear! Then come on back and let’s finish going through some of my favorite BODi Beachbody supplements.
Energize
I have two favorites and Energize is definitely one of them. Energize is king for battling lack of energy and lack of focus. It is not only a pre-workout drink, but can also be used when you just need an extra little kick. Do you find yourself reaching for that diet soda mid afternoon? Put it back and try a scoop of Energize with a nice big glass of water. Not only did my body thank me for not filling it with poison, but I felt more energized for much, much longer.
Energize is formulated to [1]:
- Increase energy and endurance
- Improve intense exercise performance
- Sharpen focus and reaction time
- Increase muscle power output
- Delay exercise-induced muscle fatigue
Energize Key Ingredients
Beta-alanine – this an amino acid that has been shown to help with intense exercise and also prolongs the onset of fatigue.
Quercetin – a powerful phytonutrient that also has been shown to delay fatigue as well as improve endurance.
Finally, caffeine, lovely caffeine. Need I say more? We are talking about a low dose of caffeine, not your “put you on the ceiling like a Rockstar” kind of caffeine. Low dose caffeine has been shown to assist with endurance and focus. Sometimes in the heat of an intense workout, we lose focus. This helps us reign it back in.
First Thing
This whole First Thing/Last Thing cracks me up. But I love it. It is original and the names are memorable. BODi is branching out into the field of wellness supplements, beyond their traditional Shakeology. Rather than drink a meal replacement shake, why not try this daily dose of greatness in a single shot?
AND you can get this cute little ceramic container! I love it!
First Thing Key Ingredients
Immune Support Blend – We could all use a little daily boost to our immune system. We live in a world where we are constantly bombarded by toxic things (environment, food, detergent, etc..). Vitamin C, elderberry, zinc, and beta-glucan are part of what makes this immune support blend so powerful.
Nootropic Blend – First of all, what in the world does nootropic mean? Quite simply it means to enhance cognitive function and memory. Sounds great, right? We could all use a little boost for that. I work with a lot of women who suffer from brain fog and this is what we are looking for ladies! Lion’s mane, sage extract, cherry extract, bacopa, and eleuthero root are all part of this formulation.
Stress Defense Blend – Stress is a killer. Literally. As a society, we are losing the ability to cope with and manage stress while being bombarded with stressors all day long. A beautiful blend of magnesium, ashwagandha, L-theanine, and Schisandra will help defend against that unwanted stress.
Energy Blend – With only 25mg of caffeine, this powerful blend delivers quite the flow of energy. How? well, in addition to the caffeine, it has Vitamin B complex, green tea, and Rhodiola root.
First Thing is formulated to [2]:
- Support your immune system
- Nourish brain health
- Defend against stress
- Provide healthy energy
Last Thing
Last Thing is my NEW favorite thing. As I enter into perimenopause, I’ve been struggling with my sleep – getting enough sleep, staying asleep, feeling rested, you get the idea. The first night I tried Last Thing, I slept like a baby, legit. Even my fitness watch showed that my REM and deep sleep had doubled and I felt GREAT in the morning.
I have not missed a night since!
Last Thing Key Ingredients
Sleep Support Blend – Of course, this is the important part right? Since the job of Last Thing, in part, is a restful night’s sleep. Melatonin, GABA, marigold extract, and L-tryptophan are among the ingredients that support this objective.
Stress Defense Blend – Stress doesn’t just disappear overnight. Having a product that continues to battle the effects overnight is paramount. Lemon balm, magnesium glycinate, ashwagandha, and L-theanine accomplish this beautifully.
Hydrate
For those who workout and sweat and need a little boost – this is where Hydrate comes in! Flavor is important to me and this citrus blend does not disappoint. If you are strict keto, however, this would be one you’d want to skip. Instead, look at Perfect Keto Electrolytes.
Hydrate Key Ingredients
Hydration Blend – the perfect balance of potassium, calcium, sodium, and magnesium to support balance in the body.
Quercetin – a powerful phytonutrient that also has been shown to delay fatigue as well as improve endurance.
Low-Dose Carbohydrates – Derived from natural sugars, this will support natural hydration without sugar overload. It is not TOO high in carbs, but definitely too high for those of you that follow a strict keto lifestyle.
Hydrate is formulated to [3]:
- Support hydration during exercise
- Replace electrolytes lost during exercise
- Improve exercise performance
- Improve endurance
- Increase fluid absorption during exercise
What they are missing is the fact that keto people need electrolytes too – BADLY. Ease off the sugar a bit and it could fit everyone!
Recover
Recover is fantastic for, well, recovery! After a hard workout, our bodies can be sore, full of lactic acid, and just blah sometimes. Recover is going to help get you back on your feet faster and back to your workouts feeling healthy and strong.
Recover Key Ingredients
Pomegranate Extract – With the delivery of ellagitannins and their natural recovery abilities, muscles can heal faster and soreness can be mitigated.
High-Quality Protein – We all know protein assists with muscle growth, but did you know it is also great for muscle recovery?
Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) – With a ratio of 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine, this can provide muscle rebuilding support and promotion of muscle protein synthesis.
Recover is formulated to [4]:
- Speed muscle recovery
- Combat exercise-induced muscle soreness
- Reduce muscle breakdown
- Promote muscle protein synthesis
- Improve adaptation to exercise
- Improve muscle strength recovery
- Support muscle glycogen recovery
Shakeology
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Shakeology. While I don’t currently use it since it does not fit my macros, I used to. As a meal replacement shake, it does the job. I wasn’t hungry for hours after drinking it and I always felt great. I really did like it. And it actually *could* fit into my macros since it is a meal replacer. So, I just might start back up again.
There are simply too many amazing and healthy ingredients in Shakeology to go through them all. But just know that it has been designed to satisfy cravings, provide healthy energy, support with lean muscle and the gut, has tons of free-radical fighters, lots of vitamins and minerals for a healthy body, and some stress support to boot!
Shakeology has been formulated to [5]:
- Benefit your overall health so you can feel better
- Provide healthy energy
- Support healthy weight loss
- Support regularity and healthy digestion
- Curb cravings
Beachbody Supplements
There are many more nutritional supplements, but these are my favorites and the ones I have experience with. Whether you still think of Beachbody or have converted to the idea of them as BODi, they have really upped their game with supplements.
