As you know, Pureboost throws away the sugar and artificial ingredients, providing energy without the side effects and long-term health challenges that accompany traditional energy drinks. We recently spoke with one of our investors, Cris Criswell, and were just blown away by what he had to say about Pureboost. I think you’ll enjoy hearing his story.Why Pureboost?When Covid hit I basically lost my job. I had a remodeling company, and customers didn't want us in their home. My contracting job also got shut down, allowing essential personnel only. For over 6 months I was stuck in my office with no phone calls and no work. Then, my body started to shut down and I basically stopped eating. I didn't work out. I wore a size 42 pant, weighed around 225 and had zero energy.I was admitted to the emergency room in September 2021 with severe dehydration. I stayed in the hospital under constant supervision for about 6 days, and couldn't get out of bed without help. Once I got home, I was extremely weak and could hardly walk up the stairs. I couldn't even open a bottle of medicine, my joints and knuckles were so swollen and painful. It was at this point that I began a journey to get healthy, and to get educated. I researched anti-inflammatory foods and what to eat, what supplements to take, and especially what NOT to eat. I also started walking around the house counting steps with the Fitbit that my wife bought for me. I learned more about walking and running, interval training, weight lifting, etc. This is how I found Pureboost.Fast Forwarding to Today - Two years later I weigh 175 and wear a size 36 waist. I'm 63 years old, and 6'2". I have cut out all processed foods, processed sugar, sodas, crackers, and so on. With a very strict eating regimen - I don't call it a diet because I enjoy most everything I eat! - I only eat real food: veggies, poultry and fish and meat, a lot of fruit and homemade smoothies, nuts, and salad greens. I now run 5 days a week, 5 to 7 miles each day, or 30 miles per week. Since I started running, I drink a mix of 24 oz water, Pureboost, and l-glutamine during my run. The natural ingredients, a little caffeine from the green tea, and the stevia give me the energy to power through these runs. As a result, I also don't have as much lactic acid build up which helps me recover quicker. I burn the calories I eat every day and Pureboost gives me the alertness and pick-me-up to last through the tough days, especially in the summer humidity.Cris’s Investment Philosophy - I'm trying out the Warren Buffet plan - being an investor in what you use. He drinks Coke everyday, I drink Pureboost everyday.So that's my brief story. My wife drinks it, my kids drink it, and I hand it out to those I work with. I’m so glad I found Pureboost. We’re thankful to Cris for investing and sharing his incredible story with us.
