Two years into college, everything looked great for hockey defenseman Caylen W. The long-time athlete began playing hockey at age four, was enjoying a hockey scholarship at the University of Vermont, and looking forward to a promising professional career.
Starting Over
“I thought I had my world made for me going pro, then in the blink of an eye, I lost everything,” he remembers.
A blow to the arm led to a hyperextended elbow, nearly tearing all of the ligaments and tendons. After six weeks of rehab, it was evident that his athletic abilities weren’t the same. Shortly thereafter, Caylen’s coach suggested he “move on.”
Following a failed attempt at the pros due to the injury, he returned to his home in Alberta, Canada and “shut down completely.” Weeks went by and Caylen started to feel upset with how he looked and felt. He had lost his athletic build and was tired, sluggish, and depressed.
Deciding to get his body back in check, he reached out to his friend Joel, who introduced him to Isagenix. Caylen decided then to join the IsaBody Challenge® and never looked back.
“It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made,” he says. “As the days went on, I saw results that no other products have ever given me. Isagenix completely blew out anything I’d ever tried before.”
‘Go Time’
He credits a huge part of his Challenge success to the endless support from friends, family, the START group, and the IsaBody Challenge team. In fact, one of the highlights of his journey was when START Founder and Vice President of Global Field Development Erik Coover commented on his pictures, telling him how great he looked.
“It was ‘go time’ right then,” recalls Caylen. “I knew I was going to make the best of this.”
And make the most of it he did. The 23-year-old completely transformed his body. He lost 28 pounds,* while building a solid muscular physique that he says is better than ever before.
As an athlete, Caylen knows meeting his body’s nutritional demands are crucial. For that reason, he never goes without his IsaLean® PRO Shake mixed with Isagenix Greens™ and Ionix® Supreme. He also adds IsaPro® to his nutrition regimen for a protein boost.
“As an athlete, you want extra protein, because you go a lot harder in the gym,” Caylen explains. “Since putting on lean muscle, I also feel a lot faster and lighter on my feet when I’m skating.”
Full Circle
Caylen’s next milestone came two days before the end of the Challenge. He was accepted to the University of Calgary, and shortly after, he received a call from the head coach of the University’s hockey team asking if he’d play for them, which of course, he enthusiastically accepted.
“It’s funny how things come full circle,” Caylen says. “What I least expected was how the IsaBody Challenge would turn out to be the most intense personal development course I have ever been through!”
Caylen has brought others, including his younger sister, into the Isagenix family as well. He is looking forward to attending college and sharing Isagenix with others.
“Anytime I can help somebody, it’s one of the best feelings in the world,” he shares.
Now, Caylen’s hockey future seems promising, and his Isagenix career just as much. The START member looks forward to excelling in the START group as he grows his Isagenix business.
His biggest tip? For those who may feel Isagenix may be too expensive for their lifestyle, Caylen says think again.
“Don’t shy out on the price. When I came home, I was broke and I was able to make it work. Know that if you get just two people on the products, you’re on your way. There’s always that one bill that’s tough to pay off, and Isagenix can really help out.”

*Weight loss should not be considered typical. In a study performed in 2012 by University of Illinois at Chicago researchers, subjects lost an average of 9 pounds after 30 days on an Isagenix System. The subjects also had a greater level of adherence and had more consistent weight loss from week to week compared to subjects on a traditional diet.
