June 2010’s Employee of the Month—David Cardenas!

Congratulations to David Cardenas, a gardener in our General Services department, on being Sunrider International’s June Employee of the Month.

When David began his Sunrider employment nearly six years ago, he had very little landscaping knowledge. After making it his goal to improve his skills, he worked and studied on his own to quickly learn. He constantly worked to improve his landscaping knowledge by attending various garden shows and learning from experts. As a result of his determination, he does an excellent job maintaining the building’s landscaping, and most importantly, in the front lobby area.

Regardless of weather conditions—pouring rain or extreme heat—David can always be seen working outside the building making it look gorgeous! Each day, we all enjoy the beautiful scenery he creates.

Not only is David’s work impressive, but he has a great attitude, attendance record, and is a pleasure to work with. Thank you, David, for your dedication and hard work!

May 2010’s Employee of the Month—Lilia Esquivias!

Congratulations to Lilia Esquivias, chosen as our May Employee of the Month. Lilia originally began her Sunrider career in 1995, and after taking several years off to be with her young children (she and her husband, Jose, an IBO Representative, have five!), she resumed her full-time employment at Sunrider in 2007.

Lilia’s energetic manner, which is infectious throughout her department, makes her popular and successful with customers. In fact, she is so well-liked and appreciated by customers, management receives numerous calls and comments expressing what an "absolute pleasure" Lilia is to work with, how polite, helpful, and informative she is, and how far she goes out of her way to make sure they were well taken care of.

Lilia’s positive drive, energy,  passion, and desire to project a positive Sunrider image to customers has paid off, as she is amongst the top performers in a recent project! Lilia accomplishes this by always being excited and positive, and by truly believing she can help customers achieve the best from their Sunrider business.

Congratulations, Lilia, and thank you!

"Experience Sunrider" Wows Newcomers and SR Veterans


On Saturday, July 10, 50 Sunrider IBOs and their guests excitedly attended “Experience Sunrider,” an event that included a Product Fair, Post Convention Meeting, and Opportunity Meeting.

The Fair featured Sunrider favorites such as SunBar®, Sunrider VitaFruit®, VitaShake®, SunSmile® Fruit & Vegetable Rinse, SunSmile® Herbal Toothpaste, and select Kandesn® products. We also gave away free trial-size samples of the Herbal Toothpaste, which many thoroughly enjoyed.


The Post Convention Meeting began with a slideshow of the Mediterranean Cruise. Highlighting the exotic ports and European pageantry, guests were awed not only at the sights, but also at the exciting adventures a Sunrider can experience.


Wrapping up the day’s Sunrider festivities was an Opportunity Meeting where North American Sales Manager, John Teng, debuted the new Opportunity Presentation. The revamped presentation focused on what Sunrider has to offer, the two needs people face in today’s fast paced lifestyle: wellness and income potential.
With a great 3-in-1 event that educated, motivated, and inspired, summer at Sunrider Headquarters is officially in full swing!

Getting Back in Shape with Sunrider

The below question was recently posed to John Teng, Sunrider’s North American Sales Manager. We know weight issues and getting into shape are common struggles, so we thought many of you may benefit from the answer.


Question: I heard through the Sunrider grapevine that you’ve done amazing in your quest to get into great shape and competing in body building! I am hoping you can share some of the wisdom you’ve gained on this journey.


My son is 34 and wants to get back into shape and more disciplined after a few years of personal struggles that followed a divorce. He is 5'10", weighs 165 lbs., and in his best workout days used to bench 320 lbs. I would like your input on the products I suggested he start with: To begin: Calli®, Fortune Delight®, VitaShake®, Quinary®, SunBar®, Sunectar®, Sunrise®, and Dr. Chen® MetaBooster®. Maybe later, as his finances allow, add: SportCaps®, VitaDophilus®. On workout days: eat one or two SunBars one hour before, and then a Sunrise® 30-minutes before he works out. Drink Calli® and/or Fortune Delight® before, during, and after. Following the workout, consume VitaShake® and take MetaBooster® within that 45-minute window of nourishing the body. Am I on the right track, and are there any other bits of wisdom you could give?


Answer: I use a lot of different Sunrider® products, but below are some of my favorite products and tips.


Mix two packages of VitaShake® Cocoa and add SunnyDew® to taste. Add 32 oz. of filtered water and carry it around with you in a Sunrider® Shaker Bottle. Drink one bottle before and one bottle after your workout. While all the products you mentioned are great to take, remember Sunrider thinks differently than the rest of the fitness-crazed world looking for quick fixes to their problems. Yes, they want results, but they willingly ignore the potential side effects of the synthetic chemicals they put in their bodies. “They” trust chemicals to produce magical results, and in my opinion that’s exactly what it is—magic, and smoke and mirrors with short-term gains and potentially destructive long-term consequences.  


In Sunrider, it’s about foods and believing the body can take care of itself through balance—that is the Philosophy of Regeneration®. The goal is to look, feel, and perform at your best for your entire life. I am not on a diet, but rather I am living the Sunrider lifestyle which includes a consistent regimen of Sunrider® products and a rigorous exercise regimen. I feel great and I look great using these amazing Sunrider products!
