Meet Scott Donahue

Are you looking for a better way to live? A better lifestyle? Are you tired of feeling stressed and run down from working so hard? I get it.

I'm a busy Operations Manager by day and husband & dad to four kiddos at night.

I'm a former Electrical Engineer from University of Illinois turned MBA grad from the University of Chicago.  I have a passion for learning new skills and I love a good challenge.

I help men get ahead - in business and in health.

I want to help you get healthier so you can feel your best and relieve your daily stress.

I work with men by helping them start their own business while they're working full time so they can be there own boss and create a plan B.





 When I'm not working, I spend my time playing with my kids and working out. I need to for my health and sanity. I also enjoy a game of golf.


My wife also needs help redecorating the house every few months. Can you relate?




My goal is to create more time so I can do what I love which is spending time with my family.



My wife, Bonnie, and I have been married for 12 years. She blogs here.

My Shaklee Story

I've been using Shaklee products for 12+ years and have had really good results with them. I use all the men's health and sports supplements daily. Our family also uses all the home and personal care lines.  About 6 years ago, my wife started the business part time as something to do for herself and a way to feel connected to other women. At first, I thought this business was a fun, little hobby for her... but after she started earning thousands of dollars a month, taking me on all-inclusive vacations, and gave me a free car, I knew this business was legit.








I also have spent time with Shaklee's CEO, Roger Barnett, the doctors, the scientists, and the top earners and let me tell you, this is an impressive company with a real opportunity.

Men's Health Products




You're busy, stressed, tired, and overworked. I get it. With a busy work and family schedule, taking care of your own health can be tricky to impossible. That is why we need to supplement with whole food supplements that work and have studies to back them up.

If we aren't healthy, we can't work, and then we can't provide for our families. My family depends on me to always do my best and I depend on Shaklee to help me deal with stress and stay fit.

Men have an increased risk of heart disease and other special nutritional needs and many of us don’t eat the way we should on a daily basis. That’s why the MEN’S HEALTH SOLUTIONS make good sense.

Men’ Starter Program:

80 bio-optimized nutrients clinically proven to create a foundation for a longer, healthier life
Vitalizer contains:
Vita Lea – Because most of us do not get all the nutrients we need from diet alone – AND- the American Medical association recommends that every adult take a multivitamin/multimineral supplement daily to prevent chronic diseases.
Sustained Release B – C Complex:
Vitamin C – Because vitamin C helps protect us from the dangerous free radicals which increase our risk of cancer and other degenerative diseases -AND- many men do not get enough vitamin C from their diet.
B Complex – Because recent research has shown that inadequate intake of B vitamins can lead to a buildup of homocysteine in the blood which may increase the risk of dementia, heart disease and stroke -AND- most men do not get enough B vitamins in their diet
Caroto–E-Omega:
Carotenoids – Because Caroto-E-Omega contains all 6 of the essential carotenoids found in those fresh fruits and vegetable that we are not eating on a regular basis – AND – the carotenoids in Caroto-E-Omega have been shown to reduce risk factors associated with cancer, heart disease, and eye disease.
Vitamin E – Because Caroto-E-Omega contains all 8 naturally occurring forms of vitamin E in optimum balance. Clinical studies have shown that supplementation with vitamin E reduces the risk factors associated with heart disease and boosts the immune system -AND- we cannot get the amount of vitamin E used in the clinical studies from our diet alone.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids – Because Caroto-E-Omega contains all 7 naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids in an ultra-high purity form. Clinical studies have shown that populations who consume diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids have a very low risk of heart attack and stroke -AND- Cold water fish, which are the best dietary sources of omega-3 fatty acids are often contaminated with heavy metals, dioxin and/or pesticides. .
Optiflora Probiotic – When harmful bacteria and yeast take up residence in our intestine, they metabolize the food that we eat into cancer causing substances and other toxins that harm our body and weaken our immune system – AND – Optiflora pearls contain Acidophilus and Bifidus, essential friendly bacteria that crowd the harmful bacteria & yeast out of our intestines.
Optiflora guarantees delivery of 500 million live beneficial microflora to the intestines, due to its unique triple encapsulation which protects these essential bacteria from the acidity of the stomach.

Vivix Cellular Anti-Aging Tonic – Because scientific research has finally discovered why we age -AND- Shaklee has utilized the latest research advances to produce an exclusive polyphenol blend that positively impacts the four key mechanisms of cellular aging. Laboratory studies have shown that the polyphenols in Vivix have the potential to increase your lifespan and your health span (your quality of life as you age).

For Better Results: Men’s Wellness Program Add:

Shaklee 180 Smoothee Mix – Because we need protein for building healthy cells and a strong immune system -AND- the American Heart Association recommends soy protein as part of a heart healthy diet. [Note: We do have a Whey 180 Smoothee Mix for those who are soy- sensitive].
Nutriferon – Because a healthy immune system protects us from deadly diseases and cancer AND allergies are becoming an increasing problem for millions of Americans -AND- Shaklee’s revolutionary Nutriferon formulation both strengthens and normalizes the immune system – providing us with increased protect against disease and cancer while it reduces allergy symptoms.

For Best Results: The Optimal Health for Men Program Add:

Saw Palmetto Complex – Because it contains saw palmetto and other herbal ingredients proven to prevent and reduce prostate problems.
CorEnergy – The stress and hectic schedules of everyday living in the 21st century often leave us drained of energy -AND- Shaklee’s CorEnergy helps you resist fatigue, replenish energy, and encourage more efficient oxygen utilization through your 50,000 miles of blood vessels. It’s not a quick fix or a stressful stimulant. CorEnergy uses herbs and antioxidant phytonutrients to replenish and increase your energy naturally.

DO YOU NEED THE MEN’S STARTER SYSTEM?

Here are some questions to ask yourself:
1. Do you often use convenience foods or eat at fast food restaurants because of cost, convenience, or lack of time?
2. Do you often use “artificial” or “imitation” food products because they are low in cholesterol or fat?
…If your answer to either of these questions was YES, you would likely benefit from the nutrition insurance of Shaklee’s Vitalizer.

3. Are you able to consistently maintain adequate protein intake AND keep your cholesterol consumption below 400 mg per day?
…if not, you may wish to consider Shaklee’s 180 Smoothee Mix in place of some of the animal protein in your diet.

4. Do you consume at least 2 – 4 servings of fruits every day?
…If not, you’re probably not getting the carotenoids and vitamin C you need Shaklee’s Vitalizer provides both.

5. Are you consuming 3-5 servings of fresh vegetables and 6-11 servings
of whole grains each day?
…If not, you may wish to consider the added insurance of the carotenoids & B vitamins in Vitalizer

6. Do you eat cold-pressed vegetable oils, raw seeds and nuts, and whole grain
products on a daily basis?
…If not, you’re probably not getting the vitamin E you need. Again, Vitalizer is the answer.

7. Do you eat cold water fish 2-3 times per week?
…If not, you’re probably not getting the omega-3 fatty acids you need to reduce the risk of heart disease. You will also find those in Vitalizer.

8. Do you feel the need for frequent urination, even at night?
…If so, you would probably benefit from Saw Palmetto Complex
9. Do you sometimes wish that you had more energy?
…If so, you will probably benefit from CorEnergy.

If you are like me, you love working out when you can. I enjoy running, golfing, and lifting weights. Shaklee products are also used my the top Olympic Athletes. I'm no Olympian, I try my best and want to use products that are good for me.

2. Always works.

We guarantee utmost effectiveness.

Plenty of companies claim their products work. But at Shaklee, we have proof. You see it in the over 100 scientific papers, 90 of them published in peer-reviewed journals, that prove the effectiveness of Shaklee products. You see it in the over $250 million invested in clinical testing, research, and development. And you see it in the 2007 Landmark Study conducted in collaboration with researchers from the U.C. Berkeley School of Public Health that showed that people who took Shaklee supplements had markedly better health than those who took a single multivitamin or no supplements at all.
And the most enlightening proof of all is in the millions of real people who have lived healthier, more productive lives because of Shaklee. Before any Shaklee product reaches your hand, we’ve done the hard work to make sure it does what we say it does.

3. Always green.

We lead the environmental movement by example.

Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee founded our company on the principle of Living in Harmony with Nature®. That was over half a century ago, and we continue to lead by example.We were the first company in the world to be Climate Neutral™ certified to totally offset our carbon emissions resulting in a net-zero impact on the environment. Our corporate world headquarters is award-winning for its environmental design.

Through the sale of Shaklee Get Clean® Basic H2® in the last year alone, Shaklee has eliminated 2.7 billion bottles of conventional, ready-to-use 26-ounce window cleaner — if placed end-to-end, these bottles would wrap around the earth more than 18 times!
Shaklee also joins forces with others who care enough to create movements of change, like Jacques Cousteau, and 2004 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Dr. Wangari Maathai, the founder of The Green Belt Movement and the first person to win a Nobel Peace Prize for the environment.

And now that almost everyone sees that there’s a need to treat our environment better, Shaklee’s over 50 years of environmental leadership is being recognized with many prestigious awards.Here’s what we’ve achieved in just the last 12 months achievements:

  • 88 million – Number of pounds of greenhouse gas emissions eliminated with the Get Clean Starter Kit*
  • 10.2 million– Number of pounds of packaging waste kept out of landfills with the Get Clean Starter Kit*
