If you’ve ever felt tired all the time, you’re not alone.
For years, that was me.
I lived on strong coffee and big meals. My energy spiked, then crashed, and by late afternoon I was wiped out. Even though I tried to work out and stay in “reasonable” shape, my weight and energy were always a struggle. I was tired of being tired.
Opening a Health Food Store… and Still Feeling Worn Out
My wife Sel is a holistic nutritionist, and together we opened a health food store. We were surrounded by positive people, good food, and natural products. We taught classes, helped customers, and did everything we could to live a healthy lifestyle.
We carried all the things you’d expect in a good health food store: whole grains, teas, vitamins, minerals, natural snacks, and more.
But here’s the honest truth: even with all that, my energy still wasn’t where I wanted it to be.
The Day Everything Changed
One afternoon, a man walked into our store looking for a specific tea and shake for his wife. None of our suppliers carried what he was asking for, so I asked him to bring me the empty package so I could track it down.
When he returned, I saw the logo: Sunrider.
To help this customer, I ordered some Sunrider whole foods and herbal drinks. I also decided to try them myself.
Discovering the Philosophy of Regeneration
As I began to use the Sunrider “basic” products every day, I started learning about something they call the Philosophy of Regeneration. In simple terms, it’s the idea that your body can do amazing things when you:
I didn’t understand every detail at first, but it made sense. I already knew that fruits, vegetables, and herbs are important for health. Sunrider simply made it easier to get those plant foods in a concentrated, convenient form that fit my busy life.
The Results We Noticed
Within the first few weeks of using the products daily, I noticed real changes. My energy felt steadier throughout the day. I felt calmer and more focused. My digestion improved, and I was sleeping more deeply and waking up ready to go.
These were my personal experiences, and of course everyone is different. But for me, it was a big shift.
Friends, family members, and store customers started asking, “What are you doing? You seem different.” My answer was simple:
I switched what I’m eating and drinking.
From Customers to Full-Time Sunrider Distributors
We began sharing Sunrider with more of our customers. They would try the foods and herbal drinks, feel a difference, and come back for more. Many of them started “switching brands” from the products they were buying at the grocery store to Sunrider foods, drinks, and personal care products.
Over time, Sunrider became a bigger and bigger part of our lives and our business. Eventually, we sold the health food store so I could focus on helping people with Sunrider full time.
Why We Still Love Sunrider Today
Years later, Sel and I still use Sunrider products every day in our home. We love that Sunrider is family-owned with strong quality control, that the products are based on concentrated plant foods and herbs instead of fad ingredients, and that they’re designed for daily use—mixed into shakes, sipped as drinks, or used as simple swaps for things you already buy.
For us, Sunrider isn’t about a quick fix. It’s about supporting the body with better foods and herbal drinks, day after day.
Want to Take the First Step?
If any part of our story feels familiar to you, you might be wondering where to start.
A great first step is to learn more about Sunrider and see the foods, drinks, and other products we use in our own home.

Want brighter skin and a calmer mind? Skincare isn’t just about what you apply—it’s also about what you put in your body. Green tea is a beauty and wellness powerhouse that works from the inside out!
Glow from the Inside Out
Want brighter, healthier skin? Green tea is loaded with polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals and slow signs of aging.
By drinking green tea daily, you’re supporting your body’s natural detox process, which helps flush out toxins that can lead to breakouts and inflammation. Staying hydrated with antioxidant-rich tea also keeps your skin soft, clear, and glowing!
Try sipping Calli® Mint every day for a natural skin boost. Combined with a nutrient-rich diet and plenty of water, this tea works from the inside out to keep your skin looking fresh and youthful.
💡 Healthy Habit Tip: Start your morning with a self-care ritual—sip green tea while journaling, stretching, or simply taking a few quiet moments to yourself. Hydration + mindfulness = the perfect glow-up routine!
Stress Less with a Daily Tea Ritual
Between endless to-do lists and daily responsibilities, stress can feel unavoidable. But small, simple habits—like enjoying a cup of tea—can bring moments of calm into even the busiest days.
Green tea contains L-theanine, a natural compound that promotes relaxation while keeping your mind sharp. Think of it as a mini meditation in a cup! Instead of reaching for sugary snacks or a glass of wine when stress hits, try brewing a warm, comforting tea to unwind.
For deep relaxation, Calli® Night is a wonderful choice. Made with calming herbs, it helps transition you from a hectic day to a peaceful night’s sleep—without the grogginess that some sleep aids cause.
💡 Healthy Habit Tip: Create a wind-down routine by turning off screens an hour before bed, making a cup of Calli® Night tea, and reading a book or practicing deep breathing. Your body and mind will thank you for the extra rest!
One Simple Change, Big Benefits
Green tea is more than just a drink—it’s a daily ritual that can help you feel better, look brighter, and stress less. Whether you’re sipping for glowing skin, relaxation, or overall wellness, this simple habit can make a big impact.
So go ahead, brew a cup, and take a moment for yourself. Your body—and mind—will thank you!

McFarland USA, Kevin Costner, Disney & Sunrider!:
Success story for a Teen age High School Cross- Country team and for Sunrider!!!!
Here is a AWESOME MOVIE for the whole family to enjoy, while you are home 🙂
If you haven’t already heard of the new movie, McFarland USA, you will! It is destined to be one of the best sports dramas! The Disney film is based on the true story of a group of determined youth in 1987 who give their all to build a cross-country team under the direction of Coach Jim White (Kevin Costner).
Kevin Costner and the McFarland USA movie.
With grit and determination, the unlikely band of runners eventually overcame the odds to forge a championship team and an enduring legacy. The McFarland cross-country team, under White’s leadership won:
· 9 of 15 California State Championships
· 22 of 24 League Titles
· 15 Sectional Championships
Jim White / Kevin Costner, Mcfarland USA
But here’s the fun part. Not only was Jim an award-winning coach, he was also a Sunrider distributor who used the Sunrider products to give his runners every edge! I first met Jim at a Sunrider International Grand Convention back in 2005. We were sitting at one of the amazing delicious healthy meals at the convention and someone introduced us. I was so excited to hear his amazing story. His family are truly too wonderful. After hearing the success of the team and the love and affection his family had with the boys, I said to him : you should make a movie out of this. He said that they were already working on it!!!!!
To wonderful when great inspiring stories get told like this! I just love it!
In a Los Angeles Times newspaper article in 1997, the writer hints at the use of
Sunrider’s Sunbreeze:
They stretched their calves and hamstrings under a big hay barn at the edge of town. Their tall, blue-eyed coach, Jim White, was spooning out drops of an herbal “voodoo juice” to rub away the aches. One boy walked over to White and motioned to the coach’s pocket. He took out a bottle of aromatic oils. It passed from hand to hand, drops dabbed on calves, backs, in mouths and up noses. “It’s voodoo juice.” one boy said. “Keeps you from sucking wind.
In another article featured later in Sports Illustrated magazine, we read.
No one can figure it out, how the runners with the shortest legs and the grimmest lives began winning everything once Blanco [Jim White] took over the program.
According to the Sports Illustrated article, the boys drank cleansing teas [Calli and Fortune Delight], shakes full of complex carbohydrates [NuPlus], and took gel capsules full of vitamin E and bee pollen [Energy Plus]. The new movie is as much a success story for Sunrider as it is for McFarland High School.
McFarland USA Movie, Jim White and Keven Costner
A dedicated coach and his wife gave time and Love
Besides Sunrider, the other large factor that played a key role in the athlete’s performance was the time and love that Jim and his wife Cheryl invested in the youth. They did much more than was required of them so the boys could receive what they otherwise would not. They were always there for them, pushing them on and always taking them on trips, to movies in a town with a theater, and on fishing trips.
McFarland USA opened in theaters on Feb 20th 2015. I highly recommend it.
You can now watch the movie from the comfort of your own home!
You will laugh and cry at this enduring story of commitment, dedication and love. I love knowing that behind the scenes are all the Sunrider products as supporting actors and actresses.
McFarland USA Movie, Jim White and Keven Costner
Let’s take a look at the products the McFarland championship team used on a regular basis.
Great for massages, SunBreeze Balm and Oil soothes tired muscles.
Sunbreeze
is Sunrider’s essential oil blend with a wide variety of uses. Jim had the boys rub their calves with it before and after every race. But they also used it for sinus and respiratory congestion, for sore throat, sprains and as a general muscle rub. It is one of those products that can be used for almost anything—including insect bites and headaches. No wonder the boys called it voodoo juice.
Sunrider Calli Drinks
Similar to Calli® in providing antioxidant benefits, Fortune Delight® is also concentrated and comes in powder form. Catechins are naturally occurring polyphenol chemicals found in Camellia extract, the primary ingredient in Fortune Delight®. These antioxidants have been shown effective in absorbing damaging free radicals.
Calli and Fortune Delight
During the years of Jim White’s legacy, the small community of McFarland, CA was known for its unusually high rate of childhood cancer. Jim understood the toll toxins and poor nutrition could take on his athletes and while he could not interfere with their daily lives, he knew the power of the Sunrider philosophy: Nourish Balance and Cleanse. Whenever possible he supplemented their diet with Cali and Fortune Delight to help cleanse their systems.
Sunrider Nuplus
NuPlus
Jim also provided what the Sports Illustrated article referred to as “shakes full of complex carbohydrates.” NuPlus is a powerful rebuilding formula with a regenerating effect on all the organs and systems of the body—perfect for an athlete in training. Many athletes use NuPlus to improve performance.
It builds lean muscle and it increases stamina and energy.
Vitamin E, the primary ingredient in Energy Plus, is a fat-soluble vitamin that protects the body’s tisues from the damage of oxidation and is important in the formation of red blood cells and the use of vitamin K. Vitamin E may also reduce the problems of memory loss and learning associated with the normal aging process.
Energy Plus
Often overlooked, Energy Plus (Synergy Plus in Canada) is a powerful herbal based vitamin E supplement—wisely chosen to increase the energy and strength of his athletes. Vitamin E is known to enhance the flow of blood to the heart. Energy Plus also includes Korean ginseng, bee pollen and wheat germ oil for a well-rounded formula to improve endurance and stamina.
One way or another Jim White, Sunrider and the determination of the boys at McFarland, were a winning formula. Don’t miss the movie and don’t let another day go by without giving yourself the same winning edge. . . Sunrider!

We all want to feel fit, Flexible, vibrant and strong – Baby Steps
We ALL want to be able to move our body when we want and how we want, without pain and restriction. We want vibrant healthy young looking skin, no muscle pain, great looking teeth. We want flexibility, the feeling of energy and not feel lethargic. We all want a better nights sleep. We also want to wake up to a new day, rested and energized.
We all know what we need to do….
We all know that we should, exercise, not smoke, eat a diet rich of fruits, vegetables, cut back on alcohol, be around uplifting positive people. Laugh, have fun with friends and family, Work in a healthy environment and contribute to the community.
Why is it that we don’t do or have all of the above? I Think it is because of our daily habits. Our feelings and our health are all related to the small actions we take (or don’t take) each and every day.
My wife and partner in life, always says (she is 100% Right ALL the Time), that we can all start with baby steps to improve our health and wellbeing.
Maybe NOW is a good time to take a good look at what habits we can change for the better.
Baby steps
The old saying “We are what we eat” is true. I know for a fact that i feel so much better when I eat a low calorie nutrient dense diet. Most people agree with me. Most people know the feeling of fatigue after eating too much or after eating a “heavy unhealthy meal”.
We can start with baby steps. Let’s start with hydration. Let’s start with switching some of the everyday drinks and foods that we consume and see how we feel. I have found that switching out sodas, sugar drinks, “power drinks” and other caffeine drinks, to drinking water and healthy drinks makes me feel better.
The pure fact that we will not be digesting sugar and other unknown artificial ingredients into our body is already a plus. Drinking more water is an awesome way to change the PH level in your body from an acidic to an alkaline direction.
Try setting a bottle of water next to your bed at night just before you go to sleep. As you wake up, sit up in your bed and just relax and drink the bottle down, slowly and relaxed.
You will see, within the hour after you get up out of bed, you will feel “awake”. One of the reasons is that your body has dehydrated over the night time while you were asleep. Now During the rest of the day, make a small change (remember what my better half says – small baby steps) drink more water very few hours. If you want to really feel fabulous, you may want to add some Sunrider Fortune Delight Concentrated Herbal Beverage and Calli to your daily water intake.
I have found that my body feels so much better after switching “unhealthy” hydration to better cleaner healthy hydration.
The two drinks mentioned here Fortune Delight Drinks and Calli Drinks are full of a balance of Cleansing and Nourishing Plant Extracts.
Sunrider Fortune Delight www.SunHealthAz.com 602-492-9214
The Two drinks help Detoxify the body with Anti-Aging Antioxidants. They Enhance the bodies Natural Cleansing Process and Replenish and Hydrate the body with healthy nutrients.
When I drink them (everyday for the last 27 years) I feel “light” energized, a healthy energy, unlike those “energy drinks”. My thinking is clear, and I sleep much better. I have lots of awesome stories about the two drinks…. I know you will see the difference in your everyday wellbeing, just by taking this one baby step and hydrate more with water and the Sunrider Fortune Delight Drink and the Calli Drink. They come in different flavors and packs of ten or sixty. You will love how your body feels. Your body will thank you for it!
Sunrider Calli Herbal Beverage. www.SunHealthAz.com 602-492-9214
If you are like me and enjoy a little sweetness, you may want to add the Sunrider SunnyDew or the Sunrider Sunectar to your drinks as well. Up to you 🙂
We Love SunnyDew Stevia!! Savor the flavor of our bestselling Stevia Supplement, SunnyDew! Www.SunHealthAz.com 602-492-9214
