great to see you ladies. congratulations can't wait to talk about your story especially because a lot of people identify with the fact have you a very sedentary job and a long commute. we'll get to that in a second. jen first explain why you think, this is you know will surprise people. you think the holidays are great time to start this program. >> it absolutely is because think about how many times you feel out of control during the holidays. when you start doing a lifestyle modification like a program like this, you're able to get in control, you don't gain that 10 the holidays and when everybody else is talking about their new year's resolution january 1 you have already started it. >> even just not gaining would be huge for a lot of people. 20-pound guarantee is what you promised with 855-burn-fat and nutrimost. sounded great to you right doory? you sat at a desk all day. you work in the financial industry. so you really don't have a job where you are very active. >> no. sit in meetings a lot.

>> so two hours a day you ride in your car. >> yes. >> so talk a little bit about what happened to you. what happened at the doctor's office? >> well what i did go in for is a snoring problem. she said we're going to test you for sleep apnea and i kind of laughed and said there is no way i have it. she said let's just do the study. she said you actually have severe sleep apnea. apnea i said i don't want a c pap machine. >> that's what you broughtn >> she said in order to see a significant change have you to lose 60 pounds. that was a wakeup call. i don't want to sleep with that every night. i want to be there for my children and so, what can i do and i called jen's office and i was off and running. >> i said hey i got to do something to change. have you tried other weight loss programs? >> i have tried a lot from the shakes and the pills and the different stuff nothing ever worked because it wasn't real

that was a huge piece of it as well. >> how is this possible that people are able to lose this kind of weight in such a short amount of time without exercise? >> we're able to use 21st century techniques to identify what is going on with your individual body. it's a program that is made for you. it's not going to be the same cookie cutter program you get with every program you know and ten other people are doing the same thing or hundreds of people. you are actually going to have a program for you. so we're able to look at what is going on wit learn how to fix that metabolism. we identify what foods work for your body to help you to be able to be in a fat burning state and what food you are needing nutritionally. you're able to do all of these things and make your body work the way it's supposed to be instead of working like you're 30, 40 years older than what your metabolism should be. >> the education is probably key right doory? darcy. >> that was the biggest thing

the program too? >> i did. i talked to my friend al may who was on the show. i talked to al about it he said wow what are you doing. i told him i said have you to call becky. please call the office and he did. >> we said to al you can see this before and after we are like you lost the gut. >> he did that's the first thing i said when i saw him too. >> that's so great. >> where is your belly. >> he felt so good about the program which is awesome. great t success improved your health. lost a lot of weight and told other people about it. jen you have a christmas and new year's special right? >> i believe we do yes. we are doing we want to get people in there. don't wait until the end of the year come in now. and get started so you are able to be successful. >> that is so awesome. it's a free consultation too to the first 25 callers which is awesome that you are doing that. thank you so much. what jen is saying don't wait.

medicare enrollment ends one week from too. you still have time. class is in session it's insurance 101 with sovereign select. listen to this. just this enrollment period alone sovereign select has saved their customers a combined $50,000. i'm here with ceo of sovereign

little quiz to see how up to date you are and if you need to get in to see him before the end of next week. good to see you tommy. >> they have to get in to see us. >> $50,000 you saved your customers. >> and it keeps growing. it probably is higher than that i think i gave that number last week. >> there is a list of changes we have a graphic we'll show you why it is important and where people are saving money in a little bit. we've got a little quiz right? >> you know what is interesting, most people are actually saving a lot of money on their prescrip d reviewing their prescription drug plan, i have had people that save 3, $4,000 for the year just by looking over what medications they take verses what plan they are on. >> it's interesting i was actually at the pharmacist the other day, and i saw a bunch of medications just sitting there and the pharmacist said you people left them because their plans changed and they couldn't afford the new price so they left their prescriptions. >> we change their plan over and

let's see how smart you are. let's start with some of these quizes. the first one is the open enrollment plan started october 15 and will end decembet wednesday, true or false? >> big time true. that's a big source of confusion. sometimes get a lot of calls in mid-december, saying oh, i know i'm late for the game i need to review my med occasion advantagr prescription drug plan and we have to let them know it's over. >> too late people can'tet late. >> unless they have some sort of special circumstance like they just moved to the area or their plan is leaving the market, but other than that if they are already on medicare, and looking to change or review their medicare advantage or prescription drug plan, decembeg right now, is really, what they need to do. >> necessary. i think it's such a weird date to remember. that's why people get confused, but that's next wednesday,

to actually end december 31. so people who have been on medicare for quite a while i could see how they would think, it's december 31 and the market has been really stable for many years actually already. this year, insurance companies are really shaking it up and there is brand-new plans and we're noticing that people are saving more this year than any year within the last probably ten years. >> so important to call you. medicare is question number two, medicare advantage and part prescription drug plans never change their benefits or costs from year to year it is false. >> big time false. we notice that a lot of people have a hard time with change. especially when they are on medicare. if i were retired which i'm clearly not, i would definitely want to just be like you know what everything is in place. i'm going to go have fun and enjoy my retirement.

they like changing the copays and deductibles and premiums and sometimes introduce brand-new plans that were never there before. what is beautiful about working with sovereign select we're always the proactive ones. so if they are in our system we're going to let them know there are things we should look at or you know, do the review automatically for them. >> yeah. and we were just taking a look at some of the changes that are important of what saves people so much money. these are changes in the medicare advantage effects the every day medicare consumer right? things like -- >> so, the premiums deductibles and copays like i mentioned the drugs they might change. that's a huge thing. there is a list of covered drugs insurance companies sell on their prescription drug or medicare advantage plans. those change every year. and that's a big reason why we're seeing people that are saving thousands of dollars every year, just by reviewing their plan and maybe making a

>> they might have one plan or one medication on there that hey, the insurance company is not covering next year anymore. and they might not know it unless they be proactive call sovereign select and do the review. we carry basically all of the plans on the market so we can review the plans and give an unbiased suggestion. if they are calling just a specific insurance company directly they are only going to get the plans from that insurance company. they would have to call you know all of the insurance carry all of them so they can call us one call, -- >> and get your money back hopefully. >> and get all of the plans right in one spot. >> huge broker. i want to make sure everybody has the information on the educational meetings every friday at 10:00 a.m. educational only. tomorrow december 1 at 11:00 a.m. you have group immediatings. meetings.

welcome back. in january of this year, 7-year-old mj collapsed on the he was rushed to children's hospital of wisconsin where they found he had a rare condition that deprived parts of the brain from oxygen. no parent ever wants to get a call like that. we're lucky to have a world class facility like children's to provide the highest level of care. >> mj is here with us we're happy to say along with his mom and dad, we have opal and his father michael here with us on the morning blend. >> you look so cute. >> you're darking. dashing.

you're 8-years-old now you're in third grade? do you remember last year when you were 7 and collapsed on the playground? >> yes. >> do you remember that day can you tell me anything that happened or anything you remember? >> um, my legs felt numb and my arms and i couldn't feel it. i was like where was my arm? >> like it fell asleep? >> yeah. >> what was the first call you guys got? what >> i got the first call and at the time i was working all the way in racine so, i was just hysterical. i had just dropped him off and like about an hour or two after that i'm getting a call that my son is laying in the playground and motionless. >> yeah. >> i'm like no. it can't be real.

she was at the house and we were like two minutes away from the school. >> uh-huh. >> so she's like oh, my god and she just rushed right over there. >> were there other times you had had things fallen asleep like your arm or leg or is that the first time you remembered that happening? there first time. >> there were no symptoms at all. he never complained of a headache or anything abnormal. he is an active child. he does tae kwon do, swimming, and all. so we got the phone call, i got to school, and they would raise his left hand and it was just fall lifeless. i asked him to smile he would just smile on one side. the symptoms of somebody that had a stroke. the entire left side just went dead. so great response team the fire team came by and they took him they asked children's, they said

this was about 1:00ish, and they were going to observe to see what was going on because they weren't sure what was causing it. >> was he awake at this time? >> he was alert, but losing consciousness. that's when we knew the brain was getting you know, the doctors said we'll watch him and see if he is going to get worse and they met and they said they couldn't wait any longer by 4:30 they were whisking him up t emergency room they had to have emergency surgery done to remove well they found there was fluid blood. he had a vessel, it's avm. a malformation of the vein and arteries put together. it ruptured. so that's what caused the bleeding in the brain. it started clotting and causing the pressure to go up on the right side of the brain which controlled the left side of the brain. that's where the whole thing started happening. when they went to the emergency

pulled the blood that was there, -- >> causing the pressure. >> because it really created this rare disorder where it deprived part of the brain of the oxygen causing that whole side of his body to go limp. >> uh-huh. >> so, the acronym is avm. it's a very small rare condition. what i was reading it occurs in less than 1% of the population which is incredible and estimated at only 200 people may even have this. this isn't something that you would ever think of, could happen. how is he doing now? he had multiple surgeries on his brain right? >> he had the first one on the 25th and then august 8 he had another one. they removed the avm itself, that was caused the issue because they said it had potential to grow and possibly you know, rupture again so they

altogether, but, with a lot of work with children's team, all of the doctors therapy and everything he is way beyond you know recovery. i mean at this point. >> that's amazing. >> it's a good thing you have such good hair. >> yeah. [laughter] >> you feel good? >> yes. >> you should have seen him after his first surgery. >> we thought he was going to be swollen. >> you have cool scars? >> it always goes back he said. [laughter] >> you have really cool scars? >> dr. kaufman gave him a real good hair cut. >> yeah. i bet they had to probably shave your head. it's a good thing you have great hair. we're glad to know you are doing so well. i know the people at children's hospital of wisconsin took wonderful care of you and the experts there to be able to do brain surgery is pretty incredible. that's the place to be when somebody happens and so right
