Lessons from a Pacesetter 10,000 Frontrunner…

Profile of Success—
Kathy Buchko Finds Success as a Bios Life Franchise Owner
“I saw that this opportunity was exactly what I had been looking for all along.”


Before becoming a Bios Life Franchise Owner, Kathy Buchko had been searching for a long time—not for a job, but for meaningful work.

She had jobs, plenty of them—Box Office Manager and Administrative Assistant for Canada’s largest outdoor theater, bookkeeper for a construction company. She had even trained for a career in floral design and bridal consulting, and had worked in a flower shop.

But to Kathy, jobs weren’t enough. She wanted to find work—fulfilling, rewarding work—and to find the time to complete her personal projects, like finishing up the landscaping of her home.

What she didn’t expect is that the work she was looking for would actually find her first.

“I was in Toronto and noticed the Toronto Franchise Show in the paper and I was drawn to it,” says Kathy. After passing booth after booth, row after row, Kathy came across the Bios Life Franchise booth staffed by Greg Cowan and Darlene Long. “I saw that this opportunity was exactly what I had been looking for all along. I was shocked that I had never heard of this before!”

“The Bios Life Franchise presents an opportunity to concentrate on improving my health with products that are clinically proven and not harmful. Such a blessing! I can help my family and friends extend their life expectancy and at the same time have the opportunity to reach glorious financial freedom. I can do this!”

Even though Kathy understood the great financial potential of owning her own Bios Life Franchise, she wasn’t thinking just of herself. “This is better than any lottery! In a lottery, you win a lot of money. The trouble with that is your family and friends do not. With this opportunity, your friends and family can choose to come along for the ride.”

In addition, another major benefit stood out, “Nothing is more important than your health. This opportunity allows me to work on staying healthy.”

Kathy takes staying healthy very seriously, “My dad passed away from a heart attack at 42. Not having him created a challenge for our entire family. I want the opportunity to live to meet my great-grandchildren. I’ve lost too many friends and family and do not wish to lose any more.”

It didn’t take long for Kathy to see personal results from using the Unicity products. “Using Bios Life and Cellular Essentials, I lost seven pounds in the first six weeks. I feel a good twenty years younger. I’m much calmer and sleep well. My cholesterol is coming under control. Adding Clearstart (Paraway Pack) has alleviated the pain I was experiencing from my lower back.”

Kathy has been a Franchise Owner for less than six months and has no fear sharing the Franchise opportunity with others. “I telephone or send letters to those I know and a selection of professionals that I feel should be getting involved. I go door to door to businesses. In addition, I send emails to obscure people whom I have never met, but feel that they should know about this on the off chance that they may be interested.”

One of the first events that had an influence on Kathy’s success was her attendance at a Bios Life Regional Conference. “I attended a conference soon after I joined Unicity and gained a very quick education from the presentations. Now I could relate to the company on a personal level. I got first-hand testimonials from people who have been with the organization for fourteen or more years. This reinforced my initial instinct that this is a golden opportunity.”

Even though Kathy is just starting out she offers this advice to new Franchise Owners, “Don’t try to reinvent the wheel. Follow the Bios Life Franchise Owners Manual. The Franchise Manual is there for us. This is simply a process of duplication.”

Reflecting on the past six months Kathy says, “I see this as my gift. I believe that I was in the right place at the right time. I have no doubt that I am in the right place and I have a tremendous opportunity.”

CM Plex™: Featured Product of the Month—
As Many as 1 in 3 Adults Currently Suffers from Symptoms of Arthritis
Could you be one of them?

Arthritis isn’t just one disease—it’s a complex disorder that comprises more than 100 distinct conditions and can affect people at any stage of life.

Two of the most common forms are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

These 2 forms have very different causes, risk factors, and effects on the body, yet they often share a common symptom—persistent joint pain. The joint pain of arthritis can appear as hip, knee, hand, or wrist pain, as well as joint pain in other areas of the body.


Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis in the United States, affecting an estimated 21 million adults. OA begins with the breakdown of joint cartilage, resulting in pain and stiffness.

OA commonly affects the joints of the fingers, knees, hips, and spine. Other joints affected less frequently include the wrists, elbows, shoulders, and ankles. When OA is found in a less-frequently affected joint, there is usually a history of injury or unusual stress to that joint.

Work-related repetitive injury and physical trauma may contribute to the development of OA. For example, if you have a strenuous job that requires repetitive bending, kneeling, or squatting, you may be at high risk for OA of the knee.


What are the Symptoms of Osteoarthritis?

The most common symptoms of OA include:

  • Steady or intermittent pain in a joint
  • Stiffness after periods of inactivity, such as sleeping or sitting
  • Swelling or tenderness in 1 or more joints
  • Crunching feeling or sound of bone rubbing on bone (called crepitus) when the joint is used
OA usually comes on slowly. Early in the disease, joints may ache after physical work or exercise.


What Causes Osteoarthritis?

Although the exact cause of OA is not known, some scientists believe that joint damage begins in response to physical stress such as an injury or repetitive movement.

Also known as "wear and tear," this stress can erode the cartilage that normally encases the ends of the bones in a joint. Cartilage serves to cushion the bones and to help the joint move smoothly and easily.

As cartilage breaks down, the ends of the bones thicken and the joint may lose its normal shape. With further cartilage breakdown, the ends of the bones may begin to rub together causing pain. In addition, damaged joint tissue can cause the release of certain substances called prostaglandins, which can also contribute to the pain and swelling characteristic of the disease.


Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can affect many different joints and, in some people, other parts of the body as well, including the blood, the lungs, and the heart.

Inflammation of the joint lining, called the synovium, can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, warmth, and redness. The affected joint may also lose its shape, resulting in loss of normal movement. RA can last a long time and can be a disease of flares (active symptoms) and remissions (few to no symptoms).

RA affects 2.1 million Americans, or about 1% of the adult population in the United States. This disease is 2 to 3 times more common in women than in men. Also, although it generally affects people between the ages of 20 and 50, it can also affect young children through a form of RA called Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis.


What are the Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Symptoms of RA differ from person to person but can generally include:

  • Joint tenderness, warmth, and swelling. Both sides of the body are usually affected at the same time. This is also called a "symmetrical pattern" of inflammation. For example, if one knee is affected, the other one is also affected. This is in contrast to osteoarthritis, where it is possible for only one knee to be affected
  • Pain and stiffness lasting for more than 1 hour in the morning or after a long rest
  • Joint inflammation in the wrist and finger joints closest to the hand (although joints of the neck, shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, ankles, and feet can be affected as well)
  • Fatigue, an occasional fever, and a general sense of not feeling well (called malaise).
  • Symptoms that last for an extended period of time
  • Symptoms in other parts of the body, not just in the joints
RA causes inflammation of the joint lining which can lead to pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function. It also can cause inflammation of your tear glands, salivary glands, the lining of your heart and lungs, and the lungs themselves.


What Causes Rheumatoid Arthritis?

RA is an autoimmune disease. This means the body's natural immune system does not operate as it should; it attacks healthy joint tissue, initiating a process of inflammation and joint damage.

The exact cause of RA is not yet known, although scientists do know that many factors may contribute to the development of RA. Hereditary factors play a role. Scientists have shown certain genes that play a role in the immune system may be involved in determining whether or not you develop RA. However, some people with RA do not have these particular genes, and other people who do have the genes never develop the disease.

Environmental factors may also contribute to the cause of the disease. Researchers have found that RA can be triggered by an infection, possibly a virus or bacterium, in people who have an inherited tendency for the disease. However, RA is not contagious—you can't "catch it" from anyone.
