Dr Mhairi Livingston

My name is Mhairi Livingston, I live in Glasgow. I am 46 years old and started out life as an Immunologist, studying the immune system and researching diseases. I lived in under-developed countries due to my husband's job so came back to the UK to study nursing. I worked in nursing research for years but then decided to take up Stock Broking as I became a single parent and could no longer afford to continue my research career. I hated working in an office with the rigid timetable, numerous trips to and from London leaving at 5am and not getting home till 9pm at night, very little annual leave and no compassion regarding my personal circumstances as a single parent with three children. I found Herbalife in January 2002 when my friend recommended it to me. I was at a low ebb health wise, very run down and depressed about my life. I had recently had an eye operation, which had gone badly wrong and nearly lost my sight in one eye. I started taking the Herbalife inner nutrition products, lost 10lbs in weight in my first month - didn't even think I was overweight, and my vision has improved dramatically over the last year. I feel younger than I've felt for 20 years, my shape has changed, I am full of energy and never get sick, never get spots and my hair and nails grow much faster. I use all the Herbalife inner and outer nutrition products and have no hesitation in recommending them to everybody! I am also very excited, as a scientist, that we have an excellent team of scientific and medical experts producing the products. These include Dr Lou Ignaro, a Nobel Prize winner for Medicine in 1998 and Dr David Heber, top nutritionist at the University of California who is heading up the new Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Nutrition there, dedicated to the study of herbal nutrition and funded by Herbalife.

I came into the business in January last year at the Supervisor level and quickly developed a strong retail base in order to bring in an income of £800-1000 per month. I was made redundant from my stock broking job in April last year so have been doing Herbalife full time since then. I really enjoy my business. I am self-employed but with the backing of a billion dollar company to support me. I take enormous pride in helping improve the health and financial well-being of as many people as I can. I am now on the fifth level of the marketing plan and aim to get to the top by the end of next year so that I am financially independent for the rest of my life. So I can pay off all my debts, have no mortgages, have a home in Cyprus, my dream car and give my children a lifestyle they could only dream of. I currently earn around £3000 per month - more than I earned as a full time stockbroker and doctor of science! So far this year I have travelled to Nice, Cyprus, Holland, Majorca, Marbella and Paris - all on Herbalife business - awesome. I am building a strong team of like-minded individuals throughout the UK who wish to control their own destiny and be accountable for their future success and personal development. I really love the team spirit we have within the Bevan International Group in Herbalife and I regard myself as extremely fortunate and blessed to have found this opportunity of a lifetime.
