Network ’ s MADtv and Disney Channel ’ s Cory in the House , the 36-year-old working mom says her career path has always required her to maintain a healthy weight as well as constant stamina to remain energetic during filming . She had no problems staying on track until she altered her diet four years ago and discovered she couldn ’ t find a protein shake clean enough for her liking .
“ Before I started taking Raw Organic Protein , I was exhausted all the time ,” she said . “ It didn ’ t matter if I was working 14 hours a day on a show or going to a PTA meeting — I was always tired . After I started making protein shakes for breakfast or lunch , I felt like I had plenty of energy to accomplish whatever I needed to do .”
Lisa was so thrilled with Raw Organic Protein that she added more Garden of Life supplements to her health stash , including probiotics , enzymes and multivitamins . She also switched to Raw Organic Fit protein for weight loss , and still uses it every morning to help alleviate some of the stress with auditions and wardrobe fittings when she absolutely must look her best .
“ Raw Organic Fit helps me manage my weight loss and cravings ,” said Lisa , who has dropped a total of 20 pounds and maintained the loss since she started using it three years ago . “ It makes it easy for me to lose a few pounds if I need to , so I take it with me everywhere I go . It ’ s so convenient to be able to make a protein shake no matter where I travel .”
“ I decided to adopt a gluten-free and dairy-free diet , so I wanted a protein shake that wasn ’ t loaded with a lot of artificial ingredients ,” she said . “ In California there are health food stores and grocers everywhere , so I tried almost 100 different protein powders and hated every single one of them . Finally I ran into someone at Whole Foods who encouraged me to try Garden of Life ’ s Raw Organic Protein . It was literally life changing for me !”
Lisa started by having a Raw Organic Protein shake or smoothie with water , berries and kale every day . Almost immediately she noticed a huge difference in her energy levels , which had dwindled for several years while keeping up with her responsibilities at home and at work .
