Kim MacIsaac • Xocai Chocolate

Topic: LIFE IS SWEETER WITH CHOCOLATE!

Chocolate….the world is in love with it. But when it comes to health, people would not place chocolate and a healthy lifestyle in the same category. For decades, chocolate was thought to be a sinful indulgence loaded with fats, sugar, preservatives and calories that contributes to poor health.  However, a huge body of research is challenging this long held belief that chocolate is bad for you.  In fact, more than 2,500 published studies show that cocoa and chocolate can possess a wide range of health benefits from cardiovascular and brain health to improved energy and lasting weight control. Come join me at the Fabulous @ 50 Experience on November 5, 2011 to learn more about Cacao-Nature’s Top Antioxidant Power house and how you can improve your health with chocolate.

Kim has spent the last 15 years working in the field of Vocational Rehabilitation as a vocational expert where she assisted individuals with disability and injury return to work. She has had her own private practice for 10 of those years and while she found her career rewarding, working in litigation was stressful and demanded long hours. When she was introduced to Xocai, The Healthy Chocolate Kim knew instantly that this was going to be the vehicle she would use to gain financial independence for her and her family. After 3 short years, she and her husband Nick have built a large global business which has provided Kim the opportunity to stay at home with her children while building her Xocai business full time. Kim is passionate about helping others become healthier and wealthier with Healthy Chocolate!
