A Nomadic, Open-Hearted YES: My 2016 in Review
Big Thanks Posted From http://jessikneeland.com/a-nomadic-open-hearted-yes-my-2016-in-review/
On the very first day of 2016 I landed at Liberia Airport in Costa Rica, alone.
I didn’t have a ticket home yet, and I didn’t have much of a plan. All I knew was that I was single, I was “location independent,” and I was totally overwhelmed by all my freedom.
The week before, I sobbed in my mom’s lap about how I’d never thought I’d feel lost or depressed again. I’d spent the first 27 years of my life feeling lost and depressed, but then I found my fucking purpose. I was pursuing my dreams full-time, on my own terms, and making an impact. Shouldn’t that be enough to be happy?? Ugh.
A few months before, I’d made some big, bold (terrifying) choices. I had moved out of NYC, given up my (insanely lucrative) training career to focus on building my business online despite not knowing a single thing about business. I figured after that everything would just… I don’t know, fall perfectly into place?
So, fast forward. Crying to mom while my old friends Depression and Confusion hover nearby, and deciding to book a ticket somewhere warm and beautiful because fuck it.
I put feelers out on facebook and glommed onto a vague plan to maybe meet up with some internet friends in Costa Rica, later in January. I booked an AirBnB treehouse in a random town, and I arrived on New Year’s Day with no idea how to get anywhere, or what as gonna do when I got there.
After a series of appropriate mishaps (aka it was New Year’s Day so none of the buses were running and no cabbies were out), I finally arrived at my treehouse. It was late at night and I could hear the ocean. I was surprised. Am I by the ocean?
The apartment was adorable though, the weather was deliciously warm, and I was starving. I put on a pretty dress and started walking toward the lights nearby, hoping that lights meant food, and that I was somewhere with menus printed in English. As I sat there that first night, eating pizza of all things (it was the only thing they had left) and watching the people around me, I was filled with a sense of yes-ness. This was where I was supposed to have come. Good things were going to happen here.
I was right. The next morning I discovered that I was indeed about a 60 second walk from the beach, and that this was (shockingly) a surf town. Literally everyone was there for the sick waves, bro.
How did I not realize this? Easy: when I booked my trip, I did exactly zero research. I wasn’t interested in being prepared, I was interested in being gone.
Those two weeks were nothing short of soul-restoration. I spent tons of time by myself reading, writing, resting, swimming, praying, and re-connecting to myself. I walked everywhere, watched every glorious sunset, tried surfing a few times (full disclosure: I sucked and dated it), made a friend to practice spanish with, and soaked in the healing warmth of the sun.
By the time I left Santa Theresa, I was tan, well-rested, and filled with purpose and clarity again. I was… happy.
Then I traveled five hours to spend a few weeks living with a guy I had met once at a wedding years ago, and his fiance. Seem weird? I guess it kind of was, but I’ve made a habit of meeting internet friends in intimate real-life situations, so why not? Turns out, Jon and Alison are amazing, and my time spent with the two of them felt like I had gotten a VIP invitation to join a beautiful little nomad family.
Our daily routine was blissful: work during the morning, go on a little adventure/exercise break, then return to work until dinner. Alison is a naturopathic doctor and an amazing cook, and I swear I ate healthier with them than I ever have in my life. On my birthday, Jon and Alison surprised me with a beautiful day including zip lining through the jungle, a massage, dinner, and (somehow) dancing. It was touching and beautiful and I started to feel really sad and stressed about leaving.
One night during dinner Alison talked me into staying for another few months. (You can stay in CR without a visa for three months, so that was how long they had their apartment.) Their other roomies were coming back so I’d have to figure out lodging, but I figured what else am I doing?
Finding last minute lodging was tough because it was high season, but I had the sense it would all work out, due to my incredibly excellent “luck” lately. One day I was out for a run on the beach and decided I didn’t feel like running anymore, so I stopped for tacos and a beer. There I met a bartender whose aunt had a house in a nearby town, so…you know… I rented it.
By this point I was driving everywhere on my beloved ATV, so a 20 minute drive to and from a remote little local town was actually a thrill. I drove by cows and goats and sheep and just blissed out every day.
Costa Rica was such a desirable destination that many of us had visitors and friends throughout the trip, and it was always wonderful. Friends came and went so often that it felt like our family was constantly expanding. One of the highlights for me was having my best friend from college come to visit so we could spend a few days laughing, sunning, and catching up on each other.
One thing I haven’t mentioned yet here is that Jon and Alison’s roommates were Molly Galbraith of Girls Gone Strong, and her boyfriend Casey. I had met Molly years before at a wedding, but had never gotten to spend much time with her. I knew that she was smart and driven, but what I didn’t know was that she (and Casey) are also fucking hilarious.
innertime was just as likely to be a place where everyone helped one person through a work problem as it was to be all five of us laughing so hard our abs hurt.
I learned a few important things while I was living with these two amazing couples. Watching how very different they were from each other, and seeing how both of them really just worked, I was fascinated and inspired.
I had felt like maybe the single life was better for me for a variety of reasons, but watching these guys I thought… well geez, that looks pretty awesome. I also realized that I really needed to be surrounded by other entrepreneurs. I hadn’t even realized until then how isolated and lonely I had felt in my work, but
Some other notable things that happened in Costa Rica include me getting a case of food poisoning so intense I was praying for death, many encounters with scorpions and giant spiders, riding horses on the beach at sunset, and some incredibly work productivity. I created and launched several new courses while I was there, learned for the first time how to create sales pages and white sales copy, and got a clearer picture of what I wanted to be building.
The moral of Costa Rica for me seemed to be: happy, healthy, tan, and productive as fuck.
I spent about a week with my family after I got home from Costa Rica. Just enough to unpack and re-pack and cuddle my adorable new nephew, before heading to the Thai Embassy in NYC. After that I hopped on a plane to celebrate the closing of snow season with my little brother in Montana. We snowboarded, partied, and reconnected for a few days before I headed out on a thirty hours flight to…
…Thailand.
Fun fact: Thailand is a country in Asia. That was quite literally the only fact I had in my back pocket the day I landed. Despite a few days booked at a hotel to sleep off the absolutely crushing jetlag, I had no plan whatsoever. No housing, no contacts, no idea what Thai culture was like. All I had was a ticket to leave, three months later, from a different city.
Chiang Mai was supposed to be a hub for digital nomads like myself, which is why I chose it. Plus because it’s super cheap so I could (and did) live like a goddamn on very little money. Mostly I was following the gut desire (born in CR) to be surrounded and supported by like-minded entrepreneurs. I figured: so far buying tickets to random places with no research had panned out pretty well, so why stop now?
Just to be clear, when I say I didn’t know anything about Thailand, I’m not exaggerating. Early on, a new friend told me I had to check out Cambodia since it was right nearby, and I laughed and corrected her, saying Cambodia is actually in Africa.
I was so confident in this totally false statement that she responded really slowly, like she was talking to a child, or a crazy person.
“No it’s not. Cambodia shares a border with Thailand. I was there a few weeks ago.”
“Jessi, where do you think you are?”
Ah. Well. This was sadly not the last time I would be horribly embarrassed about my lack of world-knowledge. Over and over again, as I met people from all over the world, I would feel incredible shame to be from America. Our education system is so self-centered that I’d never heard of whole big countries like Laos, and if you’d asked me previously where Bali or Malaysia were, I’m not sure I would have even named the right hemisphere.
Mind you, of course, I could have done some travel-research to find these things out before my trip. But nonetheless, it was shocking to realize how little value American public schools place on Asian history and geography.
Before my trip, when people would ask me if I knew anyone there, I would say “No, but that’s ok, I’ll make friends.” People thought this sounded crazy, but I just knew in my heart it would be fine.
The first week in Thailand I met two random French-cum-Canadian men in a coffee shop. They were accountants who had quit their jobs and were traveling Asia together for six months, and we fell easily into a friendship.
One of these wonderful men went off to travel on his own for a while, and the other stayed in Chiang Mai to see if he could put together a plan for a business that would allow him to become a full-time digital nomad. (I’m convinced there truly is no better place in the world to do this.) We very quickly found a group of young nomads who met every Friday to share skills and advice, connect, solve problems, and socialize.
This community of nomads was easily the best part of Chiang Mai for me, and I felt supported and nourished in every way I had been hoping for. The people I met were from every country imaginable, and any given dinner table with them was sure to include at least half a dozen unique accents and tons of laughter.
Interestingly, I didn’t meet that many Americans. A few, for sure. But far more Canadians, Australians, and Europeans. At a social gathering I was asked constantly by curious foreigners about the whole Trump for President thing. They genuinely wanted to understand: who are the people supporting him? Is this a joke?
A few guys from Denmark pointed out that in all their travels around the world, none of them had ever met a single Republican. We realized with horror that it’s because Republicans don’t really “travel.” They “vacation.”
Is that a big blanket statement? Sure, maybe. But I’ve done a ton of traveling myself, and it seems to stand true. I genuinely believe that traveling the world irreversibly opens your heart and mind to other people and cultures in a way that would make it nearly impossible to fall for the Republican rhetorics of racism, sexism, and the myth that America is the best while the rest of the world is backwards. I believe that if more people traveled like this, Trump wouldn’t be our president-elect. (You don’t have to agree, but this is my story and I’m telling you what I saw.)
Everywhere I’ve traveled has been filled with open-hearted and open-minded people. People interested in the world, interested in bettering themselves, and interested in learning and growing and meeting people. The people I met this year consistently valued experiences over belongings, and understood that happiness is an inside job. Living in Chiang Mai was fuel for my soul.
After living in a sleepy, tiny Costa Rican town, I was also thrilled to have access to interesting goings-on again! Chiang Mai has gorgeous temples, a crossfit gym, cows just chillin mid-city, and a totally amazing nightlife with open-air clubs, where everybody actually dances their faces off. (Literally everyone dances. All night. You wouldn’t go if you didn’t want to dance, because there is no pretense of being too cool there. It was heaven on earth.)
Plus the food… oh my god, the food. For a dollar, I could get a filling dinner of the best Thai food I’ve ever had in my life. And the coffee scene was out of control. Legendary and competition-winning baristas in world-class coffeeshops, on every corner.
I mostly spent my days working in coffee shops, and spent my nights drinking, playing pool, and dancing. For the rest of my life, there will probably never be anything as refreshing to me as the first sip of a Chang beer poured over ice while sitting outside Wanz Cafe in the still-sweltering heat when we quit work for the day at 6pm.
Plus, the highlight of Thailand was the fact that I was able to bring my little brother to visit for two weeks.
I’d been saving money for several years in an “adventure fund” to take Jason somewhere cool, and was finally able to cash it in.
This fund was based on the pay-it-forward principle; I would not be who I am were it not for some adventures I was taken on when I was young and broke. I was insanely lucky, and the adventures I was taken on permanently shifted my worldview and trajectory in life. I consider it my duty and my pleasure to offer the same kind of experience to other young people, starting with my brother.
For two weeks, I would wake up and find Jason at the cafe downstairs, where he was playing hide and seek with the children of one of my neighbors. Then, since Jay ate about ten meals a day, most of our time was spent as a sort of Thai gustotory scavenger hunt. Before we even finished lunch he would have already planned where we should head next for an early dinner, and would typically stop on the way there to buy snacks on the street.
It was such a yes experience, having Jason there, introducing him to my nomad life, seeing his heart and mind expanding, and receiving the soul-nourishment of being together in such a magical place.
After Jason left I dove back into work, launching my Empowered Women course again, and writing a new one called Make Friends With Your Feelings. That shit poured out of me over the last few weeks in Thailand, as though I wasn’t writing it at all, but rather receiving it. While riding the creative tidal wave, I also dyed my hair silver, then blue, and prepared to leave Chiang Mai and return to “normal life.”
Except “normal life” was really to begin with a thirty hour trip to Toronto, where I was attending Jon and Alison’s wedding!
To kick things off, I got super sick at the end of the flight, and had to sleep for two days in their spare bedroom. Whomp, whomp. But then I was reunited with my Costa Rica family, including Molly and Casey!! We prepared for wedding festivities and socialized with our Toronto fitness friends, then I got all fancied up with my friend and date-for-the-evening Rog Law, and boated over to a gorgeous little island club and watched our friends get married. It was beautiful.
Ok but now for real- back to normal life!
Except that I have no normal life anymore.
My plan was just to stay with my mom and spend time with family for a few weeks before heading to NYC for a month in September. There, I planned to do my first ever Empowered Women Project Live Workshop while I finish working on my TedX talk, which I would be giving October 1st. The talk was the whole reason I was stateside, and I needed some time to focus on it.
So, great. “Time with family” included my older brother’s birthday party, where I saw his best friend, Tom. I have known Tom since I was eight years old, and we’ve been somewhat distant friends over the last twenty-one years. We had a really fun and giggly time together at the party, and over the next few days I tried to process some new information: I think Tom is hot.
This was a very confusing fact for me, since he’s this super weird guy who was friends with my high school ex-boyfriend, and my brother. He was always super quiet, except for during my brother’s sleepovers when sometimes he would stay up all night talking to me. Technically we “dated” in 5th grade. Oh, and I was his first kiss.
So long story short (Ha! This post is so long!) I ask my brother what he would think about me asking Tom out, and I receive not just a blessing but a gushing soliloquey of praise and support.
Tom and I meet for drinks one night at a bar. I tell him flat out that I’m leaving in a few weeks, I’ll never live in Syracuse again, I don’t believe in marriage, I never want children, and I’d understand if he wasn’t down for that. He tells me he loves living here by his family and he definitely wants a family of his own soon, but “there’s no way I’m giving up the opportunity to spend time with you.”
We end up kissing that night, and become somewhat inseparable for the next few weeks.
Initially after my time in NYC I planned on swinging through for the TEDx talk then placing out again, but the thought of things ending with Tom starts to feel… unacceptable. Despite the fact that I really, really don’t want to move to Syracuse, I decide we need more time to figure out if this thing is what I think it is (aka the kind of thing you move to Syracuse for anyway).
One night at the grocery store I asked him what he would think if, after my NYC, I came back and stayed a while. His breath caught for a moment, but without giving anything away he asked “do you think you would be happy doing that?”
I told him I honestly wasn’t sure, but that this felt important. I wouldn’t be staying for any other reason, so I needed to know what he wanted. Before I even finished my sentence he blurted out “I want you should stay.” The look on his face in that moment is something I will never forget.
So it’s decided: after my NYC trip I’ll come back to Syracuse and see where this thing with Tom is going. I already know it’s Big and Important, but I don’t want to rush things just because I’m homeless (lol), so I only agree to stay through the holidays and “see.”
NYC was really fun because I get to train some of my favorite old clients, see friends, and order on seamless. I also got new professional photos done for my upcoming website rebranding, and ran my first live Empowered Women Project workshop. Both went awesomely.
While I do truly love NYC, this trip was finally long enough for me to understand, deep down in my bones, that I will never live there again. I can’t explain why exactly, other than to say that a huge source of my joy while I lived there had been my unity with the identity of a “New Yorker.” I had proudly been a part of some massive unspoken agreement to prioritize toughness and hustle and the ability to survive.
Well, I did survive. I survived a bunch of crazy and painful shit and I was tough and I hustled and I was successful. But I’m not that person anymore. My eighteen months away from NYC softened me, and I like it.
I no longer want to survive. I want ease. Not easy, mind you, just ease. A sense of living my life with openness and gentleness. The relief of removing my armor. Ease. New Yorkers scoff in the face of ease. With curiosity and joy, I notice that I no longer belong there.
When I return to Syracuse from NYC, it’s to give my TEDx talk.
I’m terrified, because what I’ve written about is excruciatingly personal and vulnerable. It’s about sexual assault, and the experience of trying to love yourself while living in a female body in our culture. (Note: I promise I’ll share it with you the moment they post it online!)
The first time I perform a stumble-through of my talk for Tom he says to me, with tears in his eyes, “I’m just so honored that you like me.”
The talk goes indescribably well. Since it’s my second one (you can check out my first one here), I’m a lot more comfortable with the whole concept of standing on stage and giving a memorized speech to a crowd of people.
It feels powerful and truthful, and the response I get from the women in the audience afterward is both exhilarating and devastating.
Woman after woman waits her turn to speak with me for a moment, many of them sharing their personal experiences with sexual assault, and all of them affected at least on behalf of someone they deeply care about. I go to a fancy dinner with my family to celebrate and later on I cry a lot and sleep for a long time.
Soon after, I realize a few things with alternating ecstasy and rage:
- I’m going to move to Syracuse.
- I will probably marry this man and have his children.
I assure you, these realizations did not come easy. In fact, each one came with waves of resistance and pain and fear and healing and courage. They still do, actually. Moving here means I have to handle some shit I vowed never to be a part of again: upstate NY winters, driving a car, paying rent for an apartment, having a “normal life,” and living somewhere that doesn’t inspire me. Fuck that. FUCK ALL OF THAT.
But it didn’t matter. I was spending tons of time with my mom and my older brother and my nephew. Tom and I were having an amazing time together. I was… happy. In Syracuse. Ugh.
We didn’t mean to move in together so soon, but circumstances rang and we answered. Tom and I moved into a little one bedroom apartment in a one-stoplight town near where I grew up. I started re-learning how to drive a car. We enjoyed the beautiful fall, and I watched my nephew learn to talk. We made it through an election that tested the limits of my ability to keep my heart open.
The interesting thing to me about re-meeting Tom now is that I used to be someone who completely lost herself and shrank inside of a relationship.
I’ve always been sure I won’t get married for a lot of reasons, but one of them is that in my view, marriage is the death of growth and expansion, and growth and expansion are my highest values. I didn’t think I could ever continue my personal growth and expansion with another person, because I had always become smaller, weaker, less of myself once I had another person’s feelings to deal with.
But with Tom, I felt strong. Sure of myself. Somehow aware that I wasn’t going to shrink here; that his personal need for growth and expansion would make it ok for me to show up fully, forever. That everything I had solidified about myself this year were finally being reflected in my ability to maintain my bigness with another person.
In November, we spend a week in Mississippi to celebrate Tom’s birthday and to visit my dad and his wife. My little brother and his girlfriend are there, and we all spend the kind of magical day in New Orleans that will be family legend for years to come.
I return home blissed out and full of yes-ness, despite the fact that winter has arrived in earnest. December looks like a lot of settling into our new apartment, settling into our new relationship, spending time with family, and working on my website’s rebranding.
I don’t know what 2017 will look like, but I do know that 2016 was exactly right. All the travel, all the chaos and pain, all the massive growth and learning and expanding, it was all exactly right. Despite it being a very intense year, I let my higher self (soul, intuition, whatever) guide my every decision.
Honestly, I only did that because I didn’t know what the fuck else to do. I had kicked out all the normal stuff people use to make decisions with, like being tied to a career, relationship, apartment, city, belongings, or any other kind of life plan. I was basically out of options, so during those first few weeks in Santa Theresa I agreed with myself to listen to the universe and follow the magical wisdom of my body, my heart, and my soul.
This decision alone is what I credit for bringing me so much yes throughout 2016. For me, the feeling of “yes” is when your outer life is completely aligned with your inner desires/soul. It’s a feeling of expansion, clarity, and ease. Not only does yes feel amazing in and of itself, but it also has a tendency to draw in some pretty incredible magic. (Not unlike the many insane “lucky coincidences” that I discovered this year.)
One last note: traveling alone has been one of the most incredible and life-affirming things I’ve ever done, and despite now having an apartment and a boyfriend, I have no intention of giving it up.
In a few weeks I’ll be going off the grid completely for two weeks to Peru. I’ll be flying solo, of course, and it’ll be something totally brand new for me: a meditation, yoga, and ayahuasca retreat for massive, intentional healing. No wifi, no electricity, no work. I’m scared and excited to be doing something so big and new, but thanks to the year I’ve had I know that it’s exactly the right thing.
I’m more confident and relaxed than ever, and I trust that by following my inner yes I will always be exactly where I need to be.
I know I can handle anything, that I am enough, and that life is constantly giving me exactly what I need. Don’t get me wrong though, that doesn’t mean life is constantly making me happy.
Sometimes what I need is to be scared, or lost, or lonely, or angry (ahem, Trump). Sometimes the gifts I am given come in the form of pain, and heartache, and loss. But if I follow my yes, then even those kinds of experiences will help me continue my path to healing, growth, open-heartedness, and ease.
2016 taught me how to know and maintain my self-ness, no matter where I am, what I’m doing, or who I’m with. I can’t wait to find out what 2017 will bring.

Forskolin Fit Pro Review: Does it Work?
What is it?
Forskolin Fit Pro is a weight loss diet pill made with 100% forskolin for burning fat and creating lean muscle gains. It’s marketed as a “premium forskolin extract” brand that also resists against future fat storage.
The website outlines how there’s 4 different ways for it to help with weight loss. It contains 20% forskolin which is higher than other brands that use only a 10% extract. A video from a Dr. Oz segment is also showed to help describe what the key active ingredient in Forskolin Fit Pro can do. Our review experts have reviewed many weight loss diet pills and they’ve found the most effective to be Sletrokor. It’s a fat burning diet pill made with plant based extracts without artificial additives. Discover more about Sletrokor by clicking on the link provided here.
Do You Know the Best Weight Loss Pills of 2016?
Forskolin Fit Pro Ingredients and Side Effects
No supplements facts label is offered, but it is claimed that there’s just one ingredient:
20% Pure Forskolin Extract (250 mg of Natural Forskolin)
20% Pure Forskolin Extract (250 mg of Natural Forskolin): The roots of this plant contain a chemical that is used to treat heart issues, chest pain, high blood pressure and respiratory problems.
It can create stronger heartbeat and widen blood vessels which lead to a reduction of blood pressure.
It’s a mint like plant that is also to help increase testosterone and fat loss. Due to this effect, it’s often more used in men rather than women. The way it’s intended to work is by stimulating cell function that helps stimulate body functions. This is done by raising what’s known as cyclic AMP.
Our review experts have crafted list of the top ranked weigh toss diet pills here.
Research on whether or not this effect is possible is limited as Examine.com mentions:
“Forskolin is still being researched for its effects on testosterone and fat loss”
Another review by Drugs.com adds:
“Quality clinical trials are lacking to support claims made of the weight loss properties of forskolin”
Though the official Forskolin Fit Pro website claims that it has the optimum level of forskolin, this has not been proven either. Examine.com also adds:
“Further research is need to determine the optimal Coleus forskohlii dose”
So it’s unknown whether or not it has a functional strength in comparison to other brands with the same active ingredient. It can also potentially lead to side effects and has a warning:
Irregular or rapid heart rate.
Extremely low blood pressure.
Increased risk of bleeding.
Not advised for those with certain kidney diseases.
The available science shows that there are not only side effects and safety concerns, but that it’s not yet proven effective to have any benefit towards weight loss. This makes it impossible to determine if taking this would be safe and useful.
Click the link provided for a comprehensive list of the highest rated weight loss diet pills.
EDITOR’S TIP: Combine this supplement with a proven fat burner such as Sletrokor for better results.
Forskolin Fit Pro Quality of Ingredients
A problem with Forskolin Fit Pro is that it fails to provide a nutrition facts label. It’s unknown if it contains any inactive ingredients. Certain additives can include food coloring and binders, which aren’t good to consume.Even if the only ingredient is a pure forskolin extract at 20%, it’s still not proven to be effective for weight loss. Without any real scientific proof it’s impossible to determine the overall quality.
The manufactures of Forskolin Fit Pro do provide some testimonials, but it’s unknown if these are legitimate or if they’re due to the placebo effect.
The Price and Quality of Forskolin Fit Pro
Before you can determine the total cost you have to submit personal information. They claim this is so one can get a free trial bottle, but you also have to submit your credit card information after you give your contact details.
This forces potential customers to lock themselves in a monthly contract, which is what certain businesses do to prevent people from escaping payments. It’s known as an auto-renewal plan, and it creates a legal contract often with hidden tactics like the one’s employed by the makers of this diet pill.
Each bottle offers a month long supply which sells for $99. This will be automatically charged each month if one does not following their specific returns procedure. This price breaks down to a daily cost of $3.30. This is significantly more costly than other brands which use similar amounts of forskolin.
The company also hides this information until after you submit sensitive personal information. For a comprehensive list of the top ranked weight loss diets, click on the link here.

Phone Number: (888) 221-2554
The website mentions that one must submit a claim and answer any and all questions within 15 days to get a return. You also have to return the product and pay shipping costs. This is only explained in small print and is not expressed in an easy to read way on the main website. One has to dig through the information to learn this fact.
They also fail to mention what address or email they use to contact them. This is often the case with companies who try and lure customers with secretive auto-enrollment plans.
In researching the company there was a Better Business Bureau alert due to their business practices. Here are some reviews from customers about the business:
“said I would not get a refund”
“I asked to speak with a supervisor and he was very irate which confused me”
“They charged me the whole price for the product without telling me after”
“I do hope this company gets shut down for false advertising, very unprofessional customer service, and refuse to five customers the right to speak to a higher CEO”
All the reviews for the company have been negative. People have complained about a lack of customer service, and that they were charged without notice. Users add how they were unable to cancel their accounts and that often had to have long conversations with the customer service representatives.
There were also complaints about how the company treated them. They had to deal with rude people and were told that they could not ask for their money back, even though they did so within the free trial period. Customers had major concerns about this and often described the company as operating a scam.
The auto enrollment plan that automatically sends out Forskolin Fit Pro to charge people was also not explained. This caused many to suddenly check their back statements to see an expensive charge. Unfortunately, due to the fact that this is explained hidden in the terms and conditions in small print, it’s technically allowed for the company to initiate this kind of practice.
Discover which weight loss diet pills were rated as the best by visit the link provided here.
EDITOR’S TIP: For the best results, our experts recommend using weight loss pills for at least 3 months. Save your money by buying a few bottles at once.
Customer Opinions of Forskolin Fit Pro
Very few reviews are available; here are some direct quotes from users:
“have not drastically lost any weight, or even lost any weight for that matter”
“Please do NOT try this product. It doesn’t work and they steal your money”
“I will never recommend this to anyone”
Most people complained about the fact they were charged money either without being told, or even when they cancelled within the free trial period.
Those that did mention their results did not show any weight loss benefits. There’s just one positive review out of the several negative complaints about the product. This makes it unlikely to be effective at all for weight loss. People added how they took an entire bottle and still failed to notice anything from it.

Conclusion – Does Forskolin Fit Pro Work?
Forskolin Fit Pro offers a sleek looking website with many claims of it being able to support well-rounded weight loss. While the website appears legitimate, according to customer reviews the company is not honest about their practices. One has to submit personal information such as their credit card information and there’s no notice after about having to cancel. Only hidden in the website is there mention of this fact. Users have largely said that the company is difficult to deal with and that they do not honor their money back return policy. This caused many to suddenly notice an automatic charge on their bank statement without warning.
Our review experts analyze diet pills of all kinds, and they’ve found that the most effective for weight loss is Sletrokor. This diet pill has potent weight loss properties with the use of its plant extracts. It contains no preservatives, fillers, binders, colors, or unwanted stimulants. It helps to boost metabolism, burn fat and improve overall health.
Sletrokor is also made in a GMP certified facility to help ensure routine quality of the ingredients used. Customer testimonials and reviews have been largely positive from users who have seen weight loss results. To discover more information about Sletrokor, visit the link provided here.

What is it?
Saba Ace is a weight loss diet pill said to have been created after years of research went into discovering the best formula on the market. The intended benefits include improved moved, enhanced focus, reduced fatigue, energy, and antioxidant support.
Information on the official website is limited, but they do say it’s made up of a synergistic blend of potent ingredients. It does contain caffeine and many common weight loss additives. The ACE in Saba Ace means Appetite, Control, and Energy, so it’s intended to help suppress appetite and aid weight management.

CaffeineGreen Tea Leaf Extract
African Wild Mango Seed Extract
Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract
White Kidney Bean ExtractCaffeine: A common stimulant used to help increase metabolism, energy, and focus while suppressing appetite. There’s a total of 180 mg of caffeine in Saba Ace. At the advised 2 capsules a day there is a total of 360 mg of caffeine. According to the Mayo Clinic:
“Up to 400 milligrams (mg) of caffeine a day appears to be safe for most healthy adults” That’s roughly the mount of caffeine in four cups of brewed coffee”
The amount of caffeine in Saba Ace is just 40 mg from reaching the advised daily limit. This is likely way each bottle states:
“Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily. Do not take near bedtime as this product may cause restlessness”
This amount of caffeine may potentially lead to side effects such as:
Restlessness, difficulty sleeping, and restlessness.
Headaches, nausea, and stomach pain.
Increased urine, jitters, and spasms.
Rapid heart rate, dehydration, and abnormal heart rate.
When taking this heavy dose of caffeine it’s highly advised to not take it within bedtime. It may lead to sleep disturbances and other related side effects. People who are sensitive to caffeine would likely be unable to supplement with this diet pill.
Green Tea Leaf Extract: Extract from the Camellia sinensis plant which is used due to tis antioxidant and caffeine content. It’s used to increase mental focus and energy while increasing metabolism. It may potentially case side effects such as:
Headaches, difficulty concentrating, and mood swings.
Irritability, nausea, and stomach pain.
Jitters, cold sweats, and muscle spasms.
Heartburn, dizziness, and convulsions.
Our review experts have crafted a top ranked list of the best weight loss diet pills.
African Wild Mango Seed Extract: This seed is grown in parts of African and is used to promote weight loss due to its fiber.
Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract: Herb used in ancient Chinese and Scandinavian culture as a way to increase energy and mental focus. Web MD has stated however:
“Rhodiola is used for many conditions, but so far, there isn’t enough scientific evidence to determine whether or not it is effective for any of them”
They also discuss potential symptoms
“The safety of long-term use is not known. The potential side effects of rhodiola are not known”
There’s a complete lack of any quality evidence to help show what this additive can do.
White Kidney Bean Extract: This dietary carbohydrate blocker is used to reduce the amount of absorbed carbohydrates when taken alongside meals. Examine.com has added:
“its potency is quite unreliable and relatively subpar”
This makes it unlikely to lead to any effects.

EDITOR’S TIP: Combine this supplement with a proven fat burner such as Sletrokor for better results.
Saba Ace Quality of Ingredients
Some ingredients such as African wild mango seed extract and caffeine can promote weight loss; however the added caffeine may also produce side effects. Other additives such as green tea leaf extract, rhodiola rosea, and white kidney beam extract have yet to be proven safe and effective.The company claims to have had years of clinical research to create this formula, but there is no evidence to help prove this claim. Many of these ingredients are often added to other weight loss diet pills, but it’s not unique to Saba Ace.
The formula is a very standard mixture of ingredients and there’s no evidence to show they are synergistic. Due to the high amount of caffeine it may also interact negatively.
The Price and Quality of Saba Ace
Each bottle is a 30 day supply, and when purchased direct from the official website it retails for $60. This averages to a $2 per daily use. Many of the added vitamins and minerals can be replaced with whole foods. The 5 other ingredients include caffeine, rhodiola rosea, African mango wild seed extract, green tea leaf extract and white kidney bean extract.
Green tea leaf extract can be purchased for cheaper elsewhere, and rhodiola rosea and white kidney bean extract have failed to be proven effective.
The high amount of caffeine is also a major issue as it almost meets the maximum advised daily limit. This can potentially promote many side effects. Discover which diet pills were rated as the best overall by clicking this link.
Business of Saba Ace
The name of the company is AMS Health Sciences LLC and they are a multilevel marketing company. Their contact information is as follows:
Phone Number: (866) 758-7222
Address: 711 NE 39th Street
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73105
Email: info@sabaforlife.com
The FDA sent them a warning letter which read:
“Your firm failed to implement quality control operations in your manufacturing, packaging, labeling, and holding operations for producing dietary supplements to ensure the quality”
“You firm failed to establish specifications for the identity, purity, strength, and composition”
“Failed to comply with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice”
This warning was included to Saba Ace as well. It all shows how the manufacturers have failed to honor the important process of checking for purity and strength as well as proper labeling. There were also claims about Saba Ace which are found to be untrue.
In researching whether or not they offer money back guarantee the official website mentions:
“Products purchased through the www.sabaforlife.com or ww.ams.maimline.com websites are subject to the return policies found in the Policies and Procedures manual”
For unknown reason they fail to provide any information on what it would take to file a return, or if they even allow for returns for unsatisfied customers. A list of the highest rated weight loss diet pills can be found in the link provided.
EDITOR’S TIP: For the best results, our experts recommend using weight loss pills for at least 3 months. Save your money by buying a few bottles at once.
Customer Opinions of Saba Ace
Here are some select quotes taken from customer reviews:
“does not suppress your appetite nor give you more energy. You actually eat more”
“It has been a month now and I cannot see any results”
“made me throw up after being on it for two days, I was taking only 1 pill a day also made my heart flutter a lot”
“WATCH OUT FOR THE MOOD SWINGS! After two days I had to stop because I was so agitated I made everyone around me miserable”
There are a total of 350 reviews on their Amazon.com page with half being positive and half being negative. The issue with this is that since the company is operating a multilevel marketing company. This allows for anyone to become a distributor. This often promotes them to leave positive reviews to help promote brands made by this company.
The majority of negative reviews are from users who say it either had no effects, or that it made them jitter and hyperactive. People often added how they didn’t feel that Saba Ace had anything more than just a high amount of caffeine.
For a comprehensive list of the highest rated weight loss pills, click on the link cited.
Conclusion – Does Saba Ace Work?
Saba Ace does have a lot of common weight loss ingredients and it’s claimed to be scientifically formulated. Due to the huge amount of caffeine which almost meets the advised daily limit, there’s a possibility for side effects. Customers have also mentioned that it promoted agitation, mood swings, difficulty sleeping, anxiety, abnormal heart rhythms, and other side effects. Some have also said it did not promote any weight loss effects. It’s unknown if the company offers returns on this diet pill either.

5-HTPFuxocanthin: Extract taken from brown seaweed which is used to help burn fat. While it’s claimed to have these benefits, Examine.com has reviewed clinical studies and they have concluded:
“needs more corroborating evidence”
A clinical study by the Sun Yat-Sen University also confirmed:
“More extensive animal experimentation and well-controlled clinical trials are suggested for further studies”
Glucomannan: This form of dietary fiber is sued to help thicken and emulsify other ingredients. It’s also claimed to help promote weight loss by satiating appetite and reducing bad cholesterol.
Web MD has also expressed caution by adding:
“There can sometimes cause blockages of the throat or intestines”
It’s often advised to drink lots of water when supplementing with this additive. It may also potentially lead to other side effects including:
Indigestion, stomach pain, and increased bathroom use.
Dehydration, lack of mineral absorption, and ill feelings.
A study by the Rush University Medical Center confirmed:
“glucomannan supplements (3.99g daily) were well tolerated but did not promote weight loss in overweight and moderately obese individuals”
So it’s unlikely to produce any weight loss benefits according to this clinical study.
Click the link cited here for a comprehensive listing of the top ranked weight loss diet pills.
Hoodia Gordonii: This shrub is used to help suppress appetite by sending messages to the brain. However, Examine.com has revealed:
“cannot easily reach the brain to do this, and aside from failures of hoodia to suppress the appetite it may also be mildly toxic and imprudent to supplement”
Judging from the current science, it’s been shown that this has no effect on weight loss.
Green Tea Leaf Extract: This common tea has a high amount of antioxidants and is used to help increase metabolism due to its caffeine. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Science has reviewed clinical studies and has said:
“There have been some case reports of liver problems in people taking concentrated green tea extracts”
They also mention there is a lack of evidence for its use:
“There are not enough reliable data to determine whether green tea can aid in weight loss”
It may also contribute to side effects that can include:
Rapid heart rate, insomnia, and headaches.
Mood swings, ill feelings, and difficulty concentrating.
Anxiety, panic attacks, and jitters.
Nausea, stomach pain, and increased urine output.
None of the ingredients in Phenocal are revealed as to how much caffeine they contain.
Yerba Mate: The leaves of this plant are brewed into a tea which can increase energy and raise metabolism. It helps to stimulate the muscles, heart, brain, and blood vessels.
Web MD has expressed serious concerns by adding:
“It increases the risk of mouth, esophageal, laryngeal, kidney, bladder, and lung cancer… When taken in large amounts or for long periods of time, yerba mate is POSSIBLY UNSAFE”
Potential side effects may include:
Insomnia, jitters, and cold sweats.
Increased bathroom use, headaches, and ill feelings.
Difficulty concentrating, mood swings, and irritability.
Coleus Forskohlii: Herb that can raise testosterone, it’s also used to help burn fat. Examine.com has said:
“Forskolin is still being researched for its effects on testosterone and fat loss”
It has yet to be proven effective for weight loss.
Evodiamine: The berries of this tree ae used to help increase weight loss and decrease swelling and pain. Web MD has shown:
“There is not enough information available to know if evodia is safe or what the possible side effects might be”
They also mention that in terms of beneficial effects:
‘There is not enough information to know if evodia has these effects in people”
Due to the lack of information it’s unknown whether or not it would be safe or effective to use.
5-HTP: This chemical is used to help create serotonin to boost mood and aid in reducing obesity. It can potentially be unsafe when taken in large amounts. Possible side effects can include:
Muscle issues, stomach pain, and vomiting.
Nausea, diarrhea, and fatigue.
Muscle spasms, stomach issues, and spasms.

Phenocal Quality of Ingredients
Many of these ingredients are either not yet proven to be effective for weight loss or they are potentially unsafe. There’s also unknown amounts of caffeine added which can be harmful to even those who are used to caffeine.No clinical studies are offered and the official bottle states:
“This product contains stimulants and should not be taken by individuals who wish to eliminate stimulants from their diet.”
Without the full dosage strength its unknown how those sensitive to caffeine or who take caffeine from other sources should dose. This lack of important information makes it impossible for people to judge for themselves whether Phenocal is safe for them. See which diet pills were rated as the best overall by viewing the best of list found here.
The Price and Quality of Phenocal
One month long supply of Phenocal is sold from the official website for $39.85 with $7.95 shipping and handling. They also sell bundle packages for increased savings, but their money back return only extends to just one bottle.
The price is on average what other stimulant heavy diet pills sell for. A main issue with this is the lack of quality ingredients used. It’s unknown what the total amount of caffeine is, but the bottle does mention to limit use due to potential side effects.
Not all the ingredients have been proven to be effective for appetite suppression or weight loss either.

Business of Phenocal
The owners of the company are Pharmaxa Labs and their contact information is:
Phone Number: (888) 675-0241

EDITOR’S TIP: For the best results, our experts recommend using weight loss pills for at least 3 months. Save your money by buying a few bottles at once.
Customer Opinions of Phenocal
Here are some select customer quotes:
“very disappointed. Didn’t help me at all. Expected it to help curb my appetite but it didn’t”
“After a week I don’t see that it’s made a significant difference in appetite suppression or my energy level. Disappointed overall. I would not recommend purchasing this”
“I didn’t feel that it did much for me”
“Product doesn’t stand up to what it states it will do”
There weren’t many reviews available, but of the 48 featured on their Amazon.com page, a majority total of 26 are negative. Customers have often complained about a lack of any noticeable changes to appetite or weight. A list of the top ranked weight loss diet pills is featured in the list provide here.
Conclusion – Does Phenocal Work?
Phenocal uses a lot of common weight loss ingredients that many other brands use. There is a possibility for metabolism boosting via the caffeine containing ingredients, but it’s not guaranteed to be safe or effective. Most reviews for this are negative with people failing to notice any weight loss benefits. There’s also a lack of information about the total caffeine added, which can be potentially dangerous.
Our review experts analyze many kinds of weight loss diet pills. In their research they’ve concluded the most effective is Sletrokor.

How To Age for Beginners
Although I’m not exactly old, I seem to be headed in that general direction. I was born in 1948, which brings up an important question: How much longer can I still pretend to be middle-aged?Growing older was something that happened to my grandparents. Like so many of my fellow baby boomers, I thought our generation would remain forever young. Apparently we were misinformed. And now that I’m finally coming of age, I’m starting to experience some of the symptoms I’ve been hearing about for years, such as misplacing my car keys, forgetting names, and noticing various aches and pains that seem to have no rational explanation.
I’ve been vaguely aware that a growing number of the jokes that friends were telling me, or passing along over email, had to do with things like memory loss, Alzheimer’s, long marriages, or other concerns of older people. Even so, I wasn’t ready to acknowledge that any of this had much to do with me.
But all of these clues must have been loitering in my unconscious mind, because early in 2015 it suddenly occurred to me to compile a book of jokes about growing older. After all, I couldn’t be the only one who would appreciate a chance to laugh about the approach of sixty, seventy, or some other significant birthday. So I started looking for jokes on age-related topics, and when I finally had enough, I selected the best ones, along with some wonderful cartoons, for this book.
Remember jokes? A priest, a minister, and a rabbi walk into a bar. Three nuns meet Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates. Although comedians stopped telling them long ago, jokes are still around, and one purpose of this book is to make sure they stay around.
With a sensitive subject like aging, it may be worth pointing out that jokes just don’t portray the full scope of reality. They ignore a great deal that is true and reassuring because those things don’t happen to be funny. And the point of jokes and cartoons, and certainly the point of this book, is to make you laugh.
Laughter may not be the best medicine, but a growing body of research is showing that it has some real health benefits:
•It strengthens the immune system.
•It relaxes the body and reduces stress.
•It lowers blood pressure and increases blood flow.Laughter also increases the ability to tolerate pain. This brings to mind Norman Cousins, longtime editor of the Saturday Review, who famously checked himself out of a hospital and into a hotel in the mid-1970s after being struck by an especially painful and life-threatening form of arthritis. After putting himself on a regimen of Marx Brothers and television sitcoms, Cousins described “the joyous discovery that ten minutes of genuine belly laughter had an anesthetic effect that would give me at least two hours of pain-free sleep.”
But wait—there’s more. Much like exercise, laughter expands the blood vessels and helps prevent cardiovascular disease.
•Some researchers think it may offset memory loss.
•It releases endorphins, which improve a person’s mood.
•Laughter promotes optimism, which in turn improves resiliency.
•It is also thought to stimulate learning, productivity, and problem solving.
•And according to a seven-year study of more than 50,000 Norwegians, older people with a sense of humor had a lower mortality rate than their counterparts who did not laugh easily at daily events.Now, even if only half of these claims are actually true, joking about aging should have a real health benefit. Of course, a lot of things have a real health benefit. But how many of them are this much fun?
