  • The Anti-Aging Superfood They Don’t Want You to Know About Ep. 235 - Jessica Lowery

    The Anti-Aging Superfood They Don’t Want You to Know About Ep. 235 - Jessica Lowery
    Jun 29 2025
    In 2017, Jessica Lowery found herself at a crossroads. A former public health lecturer and mother of three, she was facing unexpected financial hardship. Her husband’s health was declining, medical bills were mounting, and three of her university classes had been canceled—cutting a significant chunk from her family’s income. But amid that chaos, a memory from 2013 would come rushing back to light the way forward. Back then, pregnant with her son Beckham and battling flu-like symptoms, Jessica went in search of a natural alternative to traditional medicine. What she discovered was elderberry—a bitter-tasting, immune-supporting superfruit with a long history of antiviral and anti-inflammatory use. Years later, in the thick of financial strain and another looming flu season, she revisited that memory and began crafting her own elderberry syrup at home using only pure, organic ingredients. She posted a picture of her concoction on social media—and two people immediately asked if they could buy it. “I had been praying for God to show me a way to help my family,” Jessica recalls. “When those two people reached out, I knew that was the answer.” With faith as her compass and her family as her motivation, Jessica began producing elderberry syrup out of her home kitchen. She and her husband would stay up until 3:00 a.m., filling bottles after putting their three young children to bed. That simple act of faith sparked something extraordinary. What started as a small kitchen project quickly became The POWER of Elderberries®, a nationally trusted wellness brand known for its transparency, potency, and heart. Today, the company’s elderberry products are recommended by holistic practitioners across the country and have transformed countless lives. But what sets Jessica’s product apart? First, it’s about purity. Unlike many commercial elderberry brands that add refined sugars, artificial sweeteners, and preservatives, Jessica’s formula combines European black elderberries (Sambucus nigra) with organic ginger root, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks, and local raw honey—nothing more. This proprietary blend not only boosts the immune system but also offers powerful anti-inflammatory benefits that support joint health, reduce allergies, improve sleep, and even regulate blood sugar. “Our two guiding words are anti-aging,” Jessica says. “When you combine these ingredients, you’re feeding your body on a cellular level—restoring health, reducing inflammation, and energizing naturally.” During the COVID-19 pandemic, Jessica says her own family and loyal customers who used the product daily either avoided illness entirely or recovered faster. The results, she believes, speak volumes about the power of prevention and natural immunity. But The POWER of Elderberries isn’t just a supplement—it’s a mission. For Jessica, faith is woven into every bottle. “I’m not just building a business. I’m building a movement rooted in God’s design and nature’s healing,” she shares. “What I want for my family is what I want for every other family.” Despite being offered investor deals and “Shark Tank” buzz, Jessica has turned them all down to preserve the integrity of her product. “We’ve grown organically, reinvesting every dollar. I’m not willing to cut corners for profit,” she says. “Our product ships cold-packed to maintain quality. No shortcuts.” As the company grows, Jessica’s heart for service remains unchanged. Her dream? To one day open a women’s shelter in Myrtle Beach—offering refuge and entrepreneurial mentorship to survivors of domestic abuse, a cause deeply personal to her. Even with national recognition, new product lines—including elderberry bites and upcoming formulas for pets—and an employee wellness program on the horizon, Jessica remains grounded in her roots as an educator. “I miss teaching. But now, I’m expanding the classroom. Podcasts like yours,” she said to Vince Ferguson, host of Six Weeks to Fitness, “are my new platform. I want to educate, empower, and restore health to as many people as possible.” Jessica Lowery’s story is a reminder that purpose often reveals itself in life’s darkest moments. And sometimes, all it takes is a homemade remedy, a prayer, and a leap of faith to transform not just one life—but thousands.

  • The Secret to a Flat Stomach? It Might Be What You're NOT Eating!

    The Secret to a Flat Stomach? It Might Be What You're NOT Eating!
    Jun 22 2025
    Hey everyone, Vince Ferguson here – President of Body Sculpt of New York, U.S. Navy Veteran, your dedicated Wellness Coach, and host of the Six Weeks to Fitness podcast. Today, I want to talk about something fundamental, something you might think you know all about, but perhaps you've been misled. I'm going to share why I sometimes skip breakfast, and why it's a game-changer for achieving a flatter stomach – something I believe everyone should absolutely want! You see, for years, we've been told that breakfast is the "most important meal of the day." It's ingrained in our minds, a ritual we follow without much thought. But what if I told you that this very habit might be holding you back from the flat, comfortable stomach you desire? My goal isn't to shock you, but to empower you with knowledge that can truly transform your body from the inside out. Tip #1: The Power of the Overnight Fast – Stop Eating Late! Let's start with my first, foundational tip for a flatter stomach: stop eating late at night. This is crucial. Your very last meal of the day should ideally be consumed 3 to 4 hours before you hit the bed. I know, I know—it's often easier said than done, especially with busy schedules and evening cravings. But trust me, this habit works wonders. Why does it work? It's simple science. Your body needs time to properly digest food, and that process takes a solid 3 to 4 hours. As evening rolls around, your metabolism naturally slows down. Your body is preparing for rest, not for actively burning calories or vigorously processing a heavy meal. When you eat late, that food sits in your system, undigested or only partially digested, when your body's fat-burning furnace is at its lowest setting. This can lead to increased fat storage, especially around your midsection, and leave you feeling sluggish and bloated the next morning. I also strongly suggest you cut down on your portions at night. Giving your digestive system a lighter load means it doesn't have to work as hard or as long. This allows your body to truly focus on repair and recovery overnight, instead of being preoccupied with digestion. If you find yourself hungry in the wee hours of the morning, don't fret! That's actually a good sign. It means your body is tapping into its stored fat reserves for energy while you're sleeping. The result? You'll wake up feeling less stressed, less tired, and with a noticeably flatter stomach. This process is profound; it's something I delve into deeply in my book and consistently teach in my Six Weeks to Fitness programs, because it really, truly works. Tip #2: Challenge the Norm – Strategic Breakfast Skipping Now, let's talk about tip number two, which might sound "sacrilegious" to some: Don't eat breakfast in the morning! Yes, I said it. For many of us, eating breakfast isn't about hunger; it's a deeply ingrained habit. We eat because the clock says it's morning, not because our body is sending hunger signals. Instead of rushing to eat your first meal at 6, 7, or 8 a.m., try delaying it until 12 or 1 p.m. When you do this, you're essentially doing what's known as "breaking the fast" – hence the word "breakfast." To help curb any initial hunger pangs, simply drink a glass of water with some fresh lemon juice squeezed into it. You'll be surprised how much that helps! Why does this work? It extends the time your body goes without food, effectively prolonging your overnight fasting period. If you stop eating at, say, 8 p.m. and don't eat again until 1 p.m. the next day, you're allowing your body a substantial window (17 hours!) to utilize its existing energy stores. Will you feel hungry at first? Probably, because your body is conditioned by habit. But trust me, your body is incredibly adaptable, and you can absolutely go for longer periods without food than you might think. When you allow your body that extended time before eating, it will instinctively seek out energy from other sources. Your body typically uses carbs, then fat, then protein for fuel. If there are no carbohydrates readily available from recent meals, your body's next best source of energy is fat. And guess where it loves to get that fat from first? You got it – your stomach! This direct approach is incredibly effective for targeting stubborn belly fat. The Truth About "The Most Important Meal" Just in case you're thinking I'm crazy for suggesting you occasionally skip breakfast, let me drop a little truth bomb: The slogan "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" wasn't coined by a health expert or a nutritionist. It was popularized by John Harvey Kellogg from the Kellogg food company. His primary goal? To sell more cereal. And it worked like a charm – it ingrained a belief that has shaped our eating habits for generations, often without us questioning the underlying science or our body's true needs. Your Path to a Flatter Stomach & More So there you have it: two powerful, often overlooked tips – strategic late-night ...

  • It's Not Too Late: Why NOW is Your Time to Invest in YOU (No Excuses!)

    It's Not Too Late: Why NOW is Your Time to Invest in YOU (No Excuses!)
    Jun 18 2025

    Hey everyone, it’s Vince Ferguson here – President of Body Sculpt of new York, wellness coach, Navy veteran, and host of the Six Weeks to Fitness podcast. And today, I want to talk to YOU – the woman or man over 40 who’s been putting your health on the back burner, waiting for the "right time" to start taking care of YOU.

    Well, let me tell you this: It’s not too late. In fact, now is the perfect time.

    No more excuses!

    Let’s be real. We spend hundreds of dollars on weekend getaways, brunches, shoes, and gadgets… but when it comes to investing in our own health, we hesitate. We tell ourselves, "I’ll start next month," or "I’m too tired, too busy, too old." But guess what? That story – it ends now.

    If you're struggling with belly fat, low energy, stress, or just feeling disconnected from your body, you’re not alone. But continuing down that path by yourself will only cost you more – in health, happiness, and quality of life.

    That’s why I’m bringing back my very popular Six Weeks to Fitness program – and starting July 15th, we’re going ALL IN. This isn’t just another fitness challenge. It’s a lifestyle transformation. A full support system. A movement.

    Over six powerful weeks, you’ll get:

    • Access to the Six Weeks to Fitness w/Vince Skool platform – for bonus content, videos, motivational posts, community, and coaching.

    And all of this? Just $90. That’s only $15 a week… or $5 a class!

    You won’t find this level of quality, consistency, and transformation anywhere else at this price.

    Now, here’s the truth: The version of you with more energy, a flatter stomach, a stronger body, and less stress – that version doesn’t come from wishing.

    It – comes from action. From commitment. From showing up even when it’s hard.

    You don’t need to be perfect. You don’t need to be in shape already. You just need to say: "Enough is enough. I deserve to feel good in my own body."

    That’s it. And I’ll be with you every step of the way. So, I’m inviting you right now – join me starting July 15th for a program that can truly change your life. Not someday. Not next month. Now.

    Register today at www.bodysculpt.org.
