Robert Urich in his days as a famous actor declared, "A healthy outside starts from the inside." Dr Daniel Thomas shares the same view and in advocating for good health, decided to distribute Unicity's health products.
From humble beginnings, Thomas excelled in all that he did. From the days of representing Jamaica at Scripps Howard Spelling Bee to top science student in the Caribbean in CXC in 2004, Thomas was taught to never give up and to go above and beyond to achieve excellence.
Now a medical doctor, he has decided to broaden his horizons. Breaking the mode of conventional medicine, he has ventured into medical research. The young doctor has evolved into an aspiring entrepreneur, becoming a proud franchise owner of Unicity.
"Unicity is a health-care company based in the United States which develops and produces scientifically backed and clinically proven health-care products. It has over a 20-year track record and aims to make life better and, of course, healthier," Thomas explained. The three main products which Thomas now distributes locally are the Bios Life Matcha, Bios Life Slim, and Slim G.
Bios Life Matcha, Thomas explains, is a blend of Unicity's exclusive Chi-Oka Matcha, green tea, blue berries, guarana, yerba mate, among other natural ingredients. Matcha is a Japanese plant and the leaves used to make the product are picked only once a year.
"Matcha helps to regulate the normal function of the nervous system and metabolism, while putting a bounce back in one's step. Don't judge the tea by its colour, Matcha tastes great, and when consumed cold is quite refreshing. What I like about Matcha is all that it does for you. It increases alertness, improves concentration, adds vitality, relieves stress, as well as contributes to the protection of cell constituents. Matcha can be consumed two to the three times per day, or whenever you need that extra push.
Bios Life Slim and Slim G are Unicity's flagship products. Bios Life Slim is specifically designed for persons who want to lose weight and maintain a healthy cholesterol level. The G in Bios Life Slim G, stands for glucose and is geared towards maintaining healthy blood-sugar levels. "Bios Life Slim G has helped many diabetic patients regulate their conditio, and has in some cases become the replacement for expensive diabetic medications," boasts Thomas.
According to Thomas, Both Slim and Slim G, "create fibre matrix that slows the rate at which glucose is absorbed, curbs cravings and controls hunger, promotes optimal weight or fat loss, supports healthy trigylceride levels and lowers the glycemic index of the foods you eat. It is recommended that Slim and Slim G be taken 10-15 minutes before meals two to three times per day for effective results.
Thomas added that Unicity is the only non-pharmaceutical company that has its products listed in the physician's desk reference, which could be considered a doctor's bible. "This shows the level of scientific backing and clinical research which goes into their products."
Thomas was introduced to the product by a family friend. After consulting with several colleagues and then doing his own research, he decided to try it. Impressed by the results, he decided then to share the products with his father and sister. The entrepreneurial pursuit came into play after the reality of being a doctor set in of all work, with little pay. The youthful and radiant doctor hopes to gain physical wellness for himself and those around him, as these products assist significantly in achieving this goal.
