Paul and Stephanie Collins
We are Paul and Stephanie Collins, have three children and have been married over 20 years. Our Reliv story begins in 1993; I was a hard working professional in the telecommunication field and my wife Stephanie was a stay-at-home mom. Both of us were exhausted, stressed and each of us had our own health annoyances. Yet in our minds, we were perfectly healthy. A neighbor shared what the Relìv products had done for her family so we decided to see what it could do for us. We liked the idea of liquid nutrition versus all the many vitamin pills we had been taking. By the end of the month, we were sleeping better, saw increased energy, and were obviously less stressed and much happier.
It was then we knew that we would never stop taking Reliv. The longer we were on the products the more we experienced improvements in our health. My daily allergies which had plagued me since I was a child seldom bothered me. Stephanie went on to have a fantastic third pregnancy using Reliv as her prenatal and her sinus infections which had required multiple antibiotics each year became nearly non-existent. When we look back at the health of our three children, we can now count on one hand the number of times they needed to visit the doctor for illness. Our family went from being sick to one that rarely gets a cold. What a blessing.
I was working 60-plus hours a week, traveling a lot and earning a great income. We were committed to Stephanie being a stay-at-home mom to our three children, and Reliv proved to be a great fit. For the next 10 years, Stephanie started sharing Reliv with the people she met at library hour, our children’s soccer games and everywhere she went with the kids. Then, in 2005 the telecommunication industry changed and I was laid off.
When I told Stephanie, she was excited. She knew the potential in Reliv. Two different neighbors were already making over $100,000 annually, working their Reliv business from home. We had always loved the products, loved to help others, and never needed the income...but life brings changes. Stephanie introduced me to several businessmen who had worked the Reliv business full-time and were making significant incomes, yet also had time freedom. Those people opened my eyes to the possibilities. We decided to dedicate ourselves to treating Relìv like a business instead of a hobby. Today, we not only support our family financially with the Reliv business, but we have come to realize the value of "time freedom." While working the corporate world, I missed so much family time because of my job.
With the economy as it stands today, many people not only need the blessing of good health but also need help with their financial situation and/or with their time freedom. Reliv offers help with all three. We have learned that the people attracted to Reliv are those who care about others. We work hard with everyone who has the desire to make a change in their life. Over the years we have come to understand that the Reliv business is about "helping others get what they want." As Ambassadors with Reliv, we are proud to work with people, lift them up, teach and mentor them so that they too become successful.

I first heard about Reliv in 2004. At the time, I was dealing with bouts of insomnia, having anxiety attacks, having frequent sinus infections and headaches, dealing with digestive issues and basically going through my day in a state of exhaustion; I couldn’t believe that a nutritional product could help the host of issues I was dealing with, so I told my friend Stephanie that I wasn’t interested. She told me about Reliv again in 2005, but once again, being a skeptic, I didn’t listen.
In 2006, I was at the end of my rope with my 10-year-old son and his rages and behavior issues. He was also struggling with several learning disabilities. I had spent thousands and thousands of dollars and countless hours on therapies trying to help him. With each new therapy, I would get my hopes up that this was going to be “the thing” that was going to make a difference in his life, only to be disappointed time and time again. I was sure that I would experience the same disappointment with the Reliv products, but this time I figured at least I could get my money back when it didn’t work; no one else had ever offered that.
This time things were different! Within a few months, teachers and friends were commenting on the changes they were seeing in my son, and asking me what we were doing. With all of the other things we had tried, no one had ever once asked about it. I had started the products at the same time that he did and within weeks I began to notice a difference in my health and a few months later, I realized I was no longer suffering with the problems I used to have. I was a happy, energetic mom. Thanks to Reliv, our house is a much happier place to live these days.
When I finally listened to Stephanie and Paul and began taking the Reliv products, the last thing I was looking for was a business. I was a very busy mom of three active boys, I was working full-time, was also very involved in the PTA at my children’s schools, and had NO spare time. But when people started noticing the changes in me and my son, a business was born. I just had to pass the hope that was given to me along to others!
