thought, ‘This is   perfect for
 my business. My patients are
always asking about weight-loss,
sleeping aids, the Lovpil™. There
      are real issues, and

                                       Due to their vast knowledge, medical professionals

                                       are routinely asked about the best way to approach

                                       healthy living and how to best address medical con-

                                       cerns. Additionally, many of these professionals are

                                       leaders within their communities, and as such, their

                                       opinions are taken to heart — including issues branch-

                                       WIN has asked some of its distributor doctors to share

                                       why they chose the WIN opportunity and how it has

                                       enriched their lives.

Why Doctors Choose Win

  • 1. “I lost my pregnancy weight after about a month or two and I thought, ‘This is perfect for my business. My patients are always asking about weight-loss, sleeping aids, the Lovpil™. There are real issues, and I have a solution.’” — Dr. Roxanna Doucet WHY D O C T O R S CHO OSE WIN Due to their vast knowledge, medical professionals are routinely asked about the best way to approach healthy living and how to best address medical con- cerns. Additionally, many of these professionals are leaders within their communities, and as such, their opinions are taken to heart — including issues branch- ing out further than their medical expertise. That is why WIN has asked some of its distributor doctors to share why they chose the WIN opportunity and how it has enriched their lives.
