Lift™ Your Attitude in 15 Minutes!
Beep. Beep. Beep. No one really looks forward to their alarm clock in the morning. It disrupts our wonderful sleep and relaxation, and catapults us into the day ahead. The courage and drive to leave the comforts of your bed can be difficult; in fact so challenging that people often set their alarm for as late as possible and then hit the snooze until the point of being late for work. The process of changing such a habit it tough, but developing the right attitude is the most important step to success.
With so many distractions and responsibilities in life, people always say, “There isn’t enough time in the day.” This may seem true at first glance but waking up 15 minutes early can have a wondrous effect on our daily lives. Imagine having time to work out, take a walk, meditate or just have time to yourself in a chaotic world. Think about how much better your mental state could be.
Charles Swindoll once said, “I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.” So, if people can find extra free time by waking up earlier, our mental health could vastly improve and thus lead to a happier, healthier and productive you. Of course, everyone values their sleep, so try going to sleep earlier and setting your alarm 15 minutes early, and make sure to turn on lights or place the alarm out of arms length so you’re more apt to actually get up.
In addition to healthier mind, the extra time could be used to better you physically and/or spiritually. You can use the time to walk, jog, run or pray. Almost everyone feels they need to lose a few pounds and waking up earlier could be all the motivation someone needs.
You may be asking how I can do this with the hectic holiday season in full swing, but you can wait until the New Year to start. Don’t make it a job. In other words, make it fun and even reward yourself for having a better sleeping habit. Also, some other good habits to acquire or build on for the New Year include eating more fruits and vegetables, eating smaller portion sizes and cooking at home and sitting down to dinner with the family on a more regular basis.
Like me, you may also need a little extra boost or kick in the rear to get going on these changes. Finding a workout buddy or a friend who pledges to complete the steps with you is extremely helpful and can ensure success without getting off track. In the case you can’t find someone to be your “healthy partner” you can invest in Lift™, which is an all-natural energy drink mix that can help the body increase energy from within. Lift™uses the natural stimulators of the body to help you stay more focused and alert through the day without the caffeine and sugar infusion. In addition, Lift™ can help the body realize when it’s full so you don’t keep eating or pick up fatty snacks later in the day.
Making changes can be scary, but make it your daily resolution to create a better attitude and more healthy habits. Choosing to make the small changes in your daily routine can create huge improvements to your mental and physical health in the long run.

Testimonial: Taking Life Priority products has changed my Life!
Testimonial from Harry H. Life Priority customer since 1998!
I’ve been a truck driver for almost 30 years and a Life Priority customer for over 15 years.
I use to spend the first part of my mornings feeling like I was running behind the curve, like I was trying to catch up with my day. Then I discovered Life Priority. Now, I start each morning with a combination drink that includes Lift, Mind and Muscle Memory.
Quite honestly, it has changed my life. I find that my mornings are now more focused and I am ready to take on the day. It’s amazing how great it feels to start the day feeling good, feeling focused, and feeling in charge. I make another drink in the afternoon to keep me feeling that way the rest of the day.
I also take several other Life Priority supplements. I take them with confidence knowing that Greg and Michelle have
researched them and will only offer them if they are quality products.
When it comes to Life Priority supplements…I’m a BELIEVER!!!!

A Mother’s Love: The Driving Force Behind Life Priority
Testimonies by Paige, Storey, and Hailey Pryor, daughters of Life Priority owner, Michelle Pryor
“The month of May has grown sweeter to me, not because I’ve become a Mother myself, but because I’ve watched my Mother become a Grandmother. I just wish she were with me everyday to remind my kids to take their vitamins. I attribute my Mother for instilling the knowledge of supplementation and healthy living in me. My parents’ passion for health and helping people makes me so proud and they talk about their customers as our own family. Thank you for supporting Life Priority and our family.” – Paige Cook, Michelle’s 1st born
“My mom is one of the most selfless, passionate, nurturing, loving women on the planet – which is certainly why she is the rock of the Pryor family, and it goes without saying, the driving force behind Life Priority. I feel tremendously blessed that my parents created this company to provide the world’s finest health and wellness supplements. My Mom lives and breathes every single product, and is determined to share this incredible company with the world. Thank you for your commitment to your health, and supporting Life Priority over the few decades. There is so much heart and soul in this company, and we are proud you’re a part of our family!” – Storey Pryor, Favorite Daughter
“Most people who cross paths with Michelle Pryor (my mother) are quick to understand the raw and genuine nature of her spirit. I am so grateful to have been raised by a mother with unwavering moral and ethical beliefs. I cannot think of a truer inspiration to have been raised by. Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to adopt some of her most redeeming qualities. You will hear her say, “your health is your most valuable asset” – which I cannot agree with more. I am so thankful that her interest in health and vitamins trickled down into us (her daughters). She truly does care about the well being of others, including all our loyal and valuable customers.” – Hailey Pryor, the baby
New Year, New Attitude
A very important part of being happy — and healthy — is to maintain a positive attitude, no matter what your circumstances are. Remember Charles Swindoll, and his perception that attitude is a matter of choice.
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude… I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our attitudes.
If you could use a little help along the way, a Phenylalanine formulation might be just the thing to lift your spirits and support your positive attitude. Phenyalalanine may just be the Lift you need to cheer you up and support better mental health. It seems to improve mood in depressed patients. The brain is the most important master organ in your body, so exquisitely fine-tuned to perform innumerable tasks —among which is to make us feel happy.
Enter Phenylalanine. A natural approach is to use nutritional supplements, which many people prefer because they’re largely free of adverse side effects, and they’re less expensive, too. The amino acid phenylalanine has long been of interest because of its role in the production of dopamine and noradrenaline, two neurotransmitters that play key roles in the regulation of mood, especially with regard to our sense of well-being, i.e. our happiness. Significantly, deficiencies of these neurotransmitters in the brain are associated with depression. Many people feel it acts to help suppress stress eating and help to increase motivation and drive.
Lift might help supply you with a boost of energy. Lift Caps are another convenient way to take your nutritional supplement that may support a positive mental attitude and a productive day.
Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid — it must be obtained from outside sources because our bodies cannot synthesize it in appreciable amounts. It’s one of the 20 common amino acids found in dietary proteins that we obtain from plants and animals. (Babies, take note: breast milk is particularly rich in phenylalanine.) I personally use the Lift formulation to start each and every day.
As a small business owner, I get asked all the time what my secret weapon is to get it all done. Psst… It’s Lift.

What is Phosphatidylserine?
As we age, the demands of life only seem to grow, and our bodies and minds begin to gradually decline which can make things difficult for us. The mental decline as we age can be especially frustrating, and may lead to other potential problems. Although aging and its side effects are inevitable, we can fight back by becoming healthier. The combination of valuable supplements and a smart and balanced diet might help us live longer and happier. One essential chemical compound for maintaining a healthier mind is phosphatidylserine.
Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid that aids in the function of our cell membranes – specifically, the brain. So just what does the cell membrane do? The cell membrane does a lot of things, but it helps move waste out of our cells, keeps the cell intact and moves essential nutrients into our various cells to keep us healthy.
Phosphatidylserine is naturally produced in the body, but only in small amounts. To obtain the right amount, we need to include it in our diet by eating foods like muscle and organ meats, and white beans. We can also get it from soybeans and various other plant sources.
Of course, you should always consult a doctor as to ascertain the proper dosage and to what capacity it should be a part of your diet (not recommended for children, pregnant women and people with kidney or liver diseases).
The aging process isn’t always a cake walk, so it’s important to develop a healthy diet and lifestyle. Working out every day for a short time, eating right and adding supplements and foods with essentials nutrients are all vital to a healthy life.
Phosphatidylserine is one chemical compound that’s important for our mental stability and health, so make sure to research the benefits it could have on your life.

In the News: Women’s Dementia Worsens Faster Than Men’s
The Durk Pearson & Sandy Shaw®
Life Extension NewsTM
Volume 18 No. 4 • August 2015
In the News: Women’s Dementia Worsens Faster Than Men’s
So says a headline in the July 22, 2015 The Wall Street Journal. According to the study (398 subjects who participated in the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative), women’s cognitive decline took place about twice as fast as men’s. The good news is that it is very likely, based on scientific studies showing that women need more choline than men do (Fischer, 2007), and that, as choline has been identified as a nutrient important to cognition (Poly, 2011) a deficiency of choline is one cause of this vulnerability to dementia in women. Not only does estrogen play an important role in the cholinergic nervous system (Fischer, 2007, Craig, 2010)—estrogen that declines rapidly following menopause—but it is known that in older people, choline is taken up less effectively into the brain (Cohen, 1995). In addition, women are much more susceptible to autoimmune diseases than men are and the cholinergic nervous system is a major antiinflammatory system (Tracey, 2007).
Add it all up and the evidence points to a need for additional choline in older women. The amount of choline recommended by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) for non-pregnant women, 425 mg a day, is (in our judgment) too low to supply adequate amounts of choline to older women when you consider the reduced ability to transport choline into the brain, the loss of estrogen, and also the variation (dietary composition (van Wijk, 2012), choline consumption, genetic and epigenetic differences in the ability to absorb choline from the diet, get it into the brain, and then convert it to phospatidylcholine via biochemical pathways) between individuals suggests that the amount that may be adequate for much of the population per the IOM recommendation may not be adequate for YOU.
In short, choline is a major nutrient for keeping your cognitive function in good condition as you get older. We ourselves take 2 grams a day of choline in the form of choline dihydrogen citrate.

Can you Revive your Memory from 1985?
Members of 1985 Royals World Series Team “Revive ’85”
Recently, the Kansas City Baseball Historical Society sponsored a 30th anniversary reunion for members of the ’85 Kansas City Royals World Series championship team. The event, held past August at the NKC Harrah’s Casino, drew close to 500 fans who were eager to help celebrate the most important milestone in the history of Kansas City baseball, a World Series Championship.
From ’55-’67, Kansas City had a MLB franchise, the Athletics (A’s). In ’69, A’s owner, Charlie Finley, moved his franchise to Oakland, CA. Kansas City was without a MLB team for the next 5 years. In ’73, Ewing Kauffman brought MLB back to KC and named his new team, the Royals. The Royals appeared in the MLB playoffs in ’76, ’77, ’78, ’80, ’81, and ’84. Prior to winning their World Series championship in ’85, the closest that the Royals came to winning a crown was in the ’80 World Series when they were defeated by the Philadelphia Phillies.
At the reunion, many old time Kansas City A’s and Royals fans were treated to many memorable stories by members of the ’85 team, Jim Sundberg, C, Charlie Liebrandt, P, Buddy Biancalana, SS, and Pat Sheridan, OF. Also attending Royals Hall of Famers, Hal McCrae, Frank White, Dennis Leonard, and Bret Saberhagen. Other players and/or wives attending were Danny Jackson, Mike Jones, Lynn Jones, Darryl Motley, Steve Farr, Greg Pryor, trainer, Mickey Cobb, Nancy Howser and Janie Quisenberry-Stone
One of the great treasures that many of us are blessed with is our memory. Many people who witnessed the World Series in ’85 use their memory to describe events to those who were born after ’85 or were too young to remember. As people age, we sometimes chuckle that we are “losing” our memory. It is not a laughing matter! Our memories can be enhanced through the use of certain essential nutrients!
Choline is an essential nutrient and it’s primary function is to aid in the health benefits of the brain relating to memory, focus and concentration. Choline is an important nutrient during the prenatal development of offspring and contributes heavily to the development of the brain. Choline assists in a wide range of functions including motor control and memory, a deficiency may be related to neurological disorders.
In “94, my wife, Michelle, and I formed our health and nutritional company, Life Priority. We learned the importance of using high quality nutrients to help support and insure your mental and physical health. Durk Pearson & Sandy Shaw are famous research scientists, authors and the formulators of the Life Priority Designer Foods line.
Durk & Sandy are famous research scientists who have spent their lives helping millions better understand the aging process and how it might be slowed as we age. One of the Life Priority Designer Food formulas that Durk & Sandy created is MIND. MIND is a great tasting lemon-flavored drink mix that contains 1 gram of choline per serving. Drink MIND when you want to focus and concentrate!

Coaching/Managing a Team…Is It For Everyone? by Greg Pryor
Coaching/Managing a Team…Is It For Everyone?
From age 7 to 37, I played baseball under the guidance of dozens of coaches and managers. From age 7 to 22, I played as an amateur, and then, after I signed my first pro contract with the Washington Senators in 1971, I played 16 years as a professional. I would like to offer some personal views on the subject of coaching and/or managing.
Prior to playing in high school and college, my teams were coached by volunteers. My most vivid memories of “volunteer” coaches was how loudly they screamed at me and my teammates. My college coach at Florida Southern College, Hal Smeltzly, had the most pleasant personality of all of my baseball coaches. He was a great motivator and I never remember him screaming. As I look back though, the bad coaches simply help me appreciate the good ones.
As an example, when I became a professional, my first manager got frustrated with my poor performance during first game of a double-header. As he was reading out the lineup for the second game to the team, he looked at me and said, “Pryor, you can take your uniform off and I don’t care what you do.” I was crushed. If I did not have the desire to improve and have that “no matter what” attitude, I would not have an ’85 KC Royals World Series ring!
Advice for Volunteer Coaches
In my opinion, baseball is the best team sport in the world. Thanks to all volunteers and parents for helping young people learn how to play baseball. Mostly, the game is learned between the lines during the games by players who desire to improve. Players will get tested by the competition and then find areas that need improvement. Players will remember your “nice” personality more than your “expertise”. When I coached my girls in softball for 5 summers, my practices were organized so that most of my players were moving—doing something to improve. During your practices, create drills that help all players stay as active as possible. Ask parents not to yell at the umpires or coach from the stands. Check out my tips on how to be a better ballplayer below.
Advice for Paid Coaches/Managers
The odds say that 99.9% of your players will not become a pro ballplayer. You do have a 100% opportunity to help a young player improve as a high school or college player. Being paid to coach does not equate to being a good coach. Each player thinks differently. You need to know how they think and adjust accordingly. If you are worthy, you will know how to explain the better way to run, catch, hit and throw. You will recognize which players want to get better and who are more teachable. Your coaching ability will be reflected by the improvement of your players. Be cheery and positive. Please do not try to force improvement through constant guilt and negativity.
Whether age 7, 37, or 97, being healthy is one of the most valuable areas of your life. Since 1994, my company, Life Priority, has offer potent, high-quality, time-tested, health and nutrition products. One of our 19 products, One Per Meal Lifeguard, is a multi-vitamin, multi-mineral that was created by highly intelligent nutritional research scientists. It could be the MVP that can help keep your immune system in the “WIN” column.
Here are some of my favorite tips on how to play and enjoy the best game ever invented “BASEBALL”
- Baseball is a tough sport to master. Have fun learning how to do it.
- Strive to be teachable. Every MLB player was taught by other people.
- Ask for help. If you are struggling with catching, hitting or throwing, ask for help!
- You can always get better. Your competition is practicing somewhere.
- Don’t make a habit of making excuses because of umpires and coaches.
- If you have good practice habits, you will improve your chances to succeed.
- Treat your glove like it is your friend. Take care of it!
- The baseball “knows” if you are scared. Be ready!
- Do drills to improve your feet quickness to help make plays easier.
- Commend the performance of your teammate(s).
- Expect that every pitch will be hit to you! Want it to be hit to you!
- The ball will always find the guy who isn’t concentrating.
- Learn how to “get the seams” ASAP on ground balls before throwing.
- Throw “over the top” with your fingertips right over top of the long seams.
- Be aggressive when fielding ground balls. You will make more plays!
- If you bobble a ball, use your bare hand to pick it up–not your glove.
- Find ways to make your grip and wrists stronger.
- To get a better jump on ground balls, anticipate where the ball will be hit.
- Develop your own style of getting ready for pitches.
- Know where you are going to throw the ball before it is hit to you.
- Run everything out! Run everything out! Expect the unexpected!
- Look forward to hitting with runners on base.
- Don’t worry; you are going to get another hit no matter how bad you are going.
- Respect your teammates, coaches, and your parents.
- Be the “cheerleader” in the dugout. Nobody wants to play around a bad attitude.
- Hall of Famers, Ted Williams and Wade Boggs, almost always took one strike before hitting. It might help you.
- Change your hitting approach when you get 2 strikes. Be a great 2 strike hitter.
- The best pitch that you will see all day might be the next one.
- Don’t assume anything in baseball. Expect the unexpected!
- Don’t be a timid hitter. Swing hard!!
