In September 2022, I launched my own practice as an orthomolecular nutrition advisor, where I help adults and children with health complaints by adjusting their diet and lifestyle. In addition to diet and lifestyle, supplementation is also part of my advice. I am also a nurse and have worked for 15 years in the maternity and delivery department of a Frisian hospital (now on a flexible basis). It is a wonderful profession where I am privileged to be part of a very special and intense period in someone’s life. Medical knowledge has fascinated me from a very young age, and I can fully apply this interest in both of my jobs.

In April of last year, I was approached by Allegonda Nagel. We live in the same village, but we didn’t know each other. We connected at a business fair, where we were both participants, and Allegonda asked if I was familiar with Beyuna and whether I’d be interested in learning more about it. So, we arranged to meet, and she shared initial information with me about the ingredients and effects of Beyuna supplements. A whole new world opened up for me! I always believed that excipients and fillers in supplements were necessary. I had no idea it could be done differently.

This information was a big shock. Why didn’t I know this? Despite the knowledge and experience I had gained through various orthomolecular studies and refresher courses, I didn’t know that excipients and fillers could negatively affect the body and undermine the effectiveness of the supplement. Also, the concept that a product could serve multiple target groups was new to me.

In May, I attended a presentation by Paul in Surhuisterveen, but I was still very resistant to the idea. I asked questions and received answers, but they weren’t the answers I wanted to hear. Two more evenings followed in Surhuisterveen with Klaas and Epke. I remained confused, yet I started to notice a change in the consultations and supplement recommendations I was giving. Gradually, I began to think more according to “Beyuna principles,” but I was not yet ready to make the full switch. My conscience, however, was increasingly pricking me, and I could no longer "sell" the other brands. I decided to follow my intuition and signed up as Earth on 30 June.

In the first month, within the first three weeks, I placed an order of 3000 QV in separate parts and reached the Mercury level. I was terrified by the large amounts involved, but I managed to sell the products quite quickly. I was speechless. In the last week of that month, I also achieved the Mars level.

I shared my growing enthusiasm for the products within my network. Janneke Stevens, whom I know from a previous professional course, became inspired. She signed up without even attending a live presentation. Our contact has since become very close, and she is now part of our Dreamteam Berlikum. Thanks in part to Janneke, I reached the Jupiter level within three months!

Team Berlikum (Gerianne Dijkstra, Allegonda Nagel, Larissa Bakker, Marije van Tuinen, and Janneke Stevens) feels like a warm bath. We constantly encourage each other and have become a close-knit team. Every Monday morning, we gather in our practice space to watch the Academy livestream together. We then take time to evaluate and kick off the week with a good start. We have now been giving WWJE presentations for nearly a year to introduce more people to Beyuna and, hopefully, make Berlikum the healthiest village in Friesland. In addition, we now organize distributor evenings for our downlines, and on 19 October, we held a WWJE presentation at Beyuna's headquarters.

My main reason for starting with Beyuna was to help people improve their health with quality supplements. Helping people is in my blood and brings me genuine joy. My clients tell me that they indeed feel better when they use Beyuna products, which gives me a real thrill! However, I also notice that customers come and go. Oddly enough, once people feel better, they don’t always continue using the products. For this reason, I now want to focus more on signing up distributors.

The earning model appeals to me; it is transparent. I was familiar with the MLM system, but not the way Beyuna approaches it. I now know that there are significant differences in how MLMs operate. I am focusing on the long term with everything I am building with Beyuna, and I am confident this can generate a solid extra income and secure my pension. Additionally, I want to pass on my knowledge and hope to sign up more distributors in the future. Beyuna offers a vast network of like-minded people and many opportunities to gain new knowledge and personal development. Beyuna has become a vital part of my life and a beautiful addition!
