\\u201cI quickly learned that physically, we can heal very quickly from anything. I started to become a true believer.\\u201d\\xa0

Beth McCarthy Smith, founder of Simplicity Holistic Health, used to consider herself a typical American. Having the occasional martini and burger, wining and dining clients, and not putting much thought into what went in her body was Beth\\u2019s lifestyle.\\xa0

\\xa0

But when she and her husband were trying to conceive their second child, she struggled with infertility issues. What did she do? What standardized, Western medicine called for. Beth ended up having six IUIs, nine IVFs, two additional IVFs with a surrogate, surgeries, and four miscarriages. She was taking tens of thousands of dollars worth of drugs every cycle and feeling like there was no end in sight.

\\xa0

\\u201cI had what 25% of Americans now have which was an infertility issue. I had one baby no problem, but I had secondary infertility. I did what most people do when we get a diagnosis - we go to the doctor, we stand in line, we do the drugs, we do the surgery, and I had absolutely no difference.\\u201d Beth McCarthy Smith (3:40-4:05)

Living in Chicago, Beth decided to visit an acupuncturist who let Beth know her blood was too thick and that was causing her infertility. Talk about synchronicity. Five years ago at her very first fertility appointment, Beth was reading an ad that showed (as she calls it) \\u201cpretty blood\\u201d and \\u201cugly blood\\u201d. Who doesn\\u2019t want \\u201cpretty\\u201d and healthy blood!? But as Beth kept reading about changing your diet in lifestyle in correlation with your blood, she thought \\u201cno thanks\\u201d, and kept going down the path of surgeries, IVF, and more.\\xa0

\\xa0

After this acupuncturist\\u2019s comments, she found the same blood doctor from the ad and set forth to change her diet and lifestyle, crying all the way through it. But just after a few short weeks of change, she started feeling healthier, more energized and happier than ever before! Instead of focusing on the child she couldn\\u2019t have, she focused on how grateful she was for the family she did have. Four weeks later, after continuing to meditate, detox and drink juices, Bhet found out she was pregnant! Three weeks later she thought \\u2018this is the\\xa0 best thing that\\u2019s ever happened to me\\u2019.\\xa0

\\xa0

\\u201cHealing and health is all about the blood and the gut. If you clean the gut and get the gut moving, the blood starts moving, and more oxygen moves through your body. It\\u2019s amazing what people can do with this healing. We\\u2019ve worked with people with cancer, diabetes, fertility issues, everything under the sun.\\u201d Beth McCarthy Smith (11:50-12:27)

Much of Beth\\u2019s story includes the holistic component that comes with healing your body. Beth reminds us that we are so hard on ourselves, and need to learn to find acceptance, forgiveness and reach out for help. Thanks to her shift in lifestyle and mindset, Beth got pregnant with her second child at 39, and without even trying, got pregnant again at 42! This was the miracle and magic of cleansing her body, drinking cold-pressed juices, meditating and getting rid of toxic beliefs, habits and ways of eating.

\\xa0

When Beth moved to Indianapolis, she realized she couldn\\u2019t get the juices she used to buy retail in Chicago, so she just started making them for herself! First, she opened a colon hydrotherapy center and realized her clients didn\\u2019t know what to eat or drink afterwards. Beth started making juices at home and bringing them in. Drinkable, simple and craveable is the goal with every Simplicity product. After spending $15 on juices in Chicago that were horrible tasting, Beth only wants to create juices that are as delicious as a bartender would make!

\\xa0

She eventually started selling juices at a local Safeway and now, six years later, Simplicity Holistic Health is now available at Kroger, Fresh Time, market districts, and Whole Foods. To be able to scale in the refrigerated beverage section is an incredible feat because of how competitive the space is.\\xa0

\\xa0

You can buy Simplicity on their website, at Amazon, and even Saks Fifth Avenue right inbetween the shoe department and cosmetics!\\xa0

\\u201cThere is no cheating. There is no falling off the bandwagon. This really revolves around you and each individual person.\\u201d Beth McCarthy Smith\\xa0 (2:44-2:58)

The beautiful thing about Simplicity is there\\u2019s something for everyone. Whether you\\u2019re just starting out with juices or are \\u201chardcore\\u201d and have been cleansing or juicing for years, you can find a Simplicity product you\\u2019ll love. Beth says there\\u2019s no right or wrong way to drink her juices, but the point is to add in more good to your diet\\u2026 and more good that you actually enjoy! When you do that you\\u2019ll naturally crowd out something that probably wasn\\u2019t the best for your body or digestive system. You can add in juices slowly wherever you\\u2019re at.

\\xa0

Simplicity\\u2019s juices are made with whole, fresh produce, and no artificial colors or preservatives. They\\u2019re also cold-pressed, which may have you wondering how it\\u2019s possible for them to have an extended shelf life. To keep the juice \\u2018alive\\u2019, the juice is sent to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where it goes into bottles that are first put in water at 90,000 PSI (pounds per square inch) for 120 seconds, which takes the pressure down to sea level and kills all pathogens in the bottle. That\\u2019s the cold pressure process and what gives the \\u2018alive\\u2019 juice a longer shelf life. On top of it, the juice pulp is kept and fed to livestock, making the company waste free along with using 100% recyclable bottles.\\xa0
