(MUSIC) GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY AND
WELCOME TO THE BALANCING ACT. WE ARE SO GLAD YOU JOINED US THIS
MORNING. I'M JULIE MORAN. AND I'M OLGA VILLAVERDE.
ALRIGHT, QUESTION HAVE YOU EVER TRIED QUINOA?
NO. GIRL, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
MISSING. (LAUGHTER)
I LOVE IT. IT'S A NUTRITIOUS AND VERSATILE SUPER FOOD AND AN
IMPORTANT SOURCE OF ALL NINE ESSENTIAL AMMINO ACIDS AND I
CAN'T WAIT TO DISCOVER ITS' HEALTH BENEFITS. WE'RE GOING TO
TAKE A LOOK AT THAT TODAY. I'M GONNA TRY IT TO. PLUS, NEW
YEAR, NEW YOU. YEA.
AN INNOVATIVE WAY TO IMPROVE YOUR SKIN. THAT IS SOMETHING
THAT I NEED. (LAUGHTER)
NO YOU DON'T. YES I DO.
AND WE'VE GOT TAX HELP THAT WILL HELP YOU FILE FOR FREE. THE
BALANCING ACT STARTS RIGHT NOW.
(MUSIC) OH DEAR TO HAVE FEWER WRINKLES
AND LESS FINE LINES ON THE FACE. NOT TO MENTION CELLULITE. LADIES
AND YES MEN YOU CAN RELATE, I KNOW YOU CAN. WELL I HAVE GREAT
NEWS AS OUR NEW YEAR, NEW YOU SERIES CONTINUES. YOU CAN
REFRESH THE SKIN ON YOUR FACE AND REDUCE THE APPEARANCE OF
CELLULITE WITHOUT SURGERY. HERE TO EXPLAIN IS DR. CHERYL
BURGESS, DERMATOLOGIST AND AN AUTHORITY ON NON INVASIVE
COSMETIC PROCEDURES. GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING. NO REALLY, GOOD MORNING.
(LAUGHTER) OK, BECAUSE WHEN I WAS TOLD I
WAS GOING TO DO THIS SEGMENT I WAS LIKE YES! I'M ALWAYS TALKING
ABOUT WRINKLES AND AGING AND IT IT BOTHERS ME. I'M NOT GONNA
LIE. YEA, IT'S SO EXCITING TO HAVE
NEW THINGS THAT COME ABOUT FOR US TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT
OURSELVES. I MEAN, WE DYE OUR HAIR SO YOU KNOW YOU DO THINGS
ON A DAILY BASIS THAT CHANGE THE WAY YOU FEEL.
ABSOLUTELY. AND SO THERE'S A NEW DEVICE THAT
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT TODAY. AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE TALK
ABOUT THIS TODAY BECAUSE I'M YOU KNOW I'M A BIT OF A CHICKEN AND
I'M NOT INTO THE NEEDLE STUFF AND ALL. AND NON-INVASIVE
PROCEDURES, THAT KIND OF CATCHES MY ATTENTION. SO TALK TO ME
ABOUT THIS. RIGHT, WELL NON-INVASIVE DOES
SOMETIMES RELATE TO NEEDLES, BUT THIS IN PARTICULAR IS NOT A
NEEDLE. IT'S SETS RIGHT ON THE SKIN. IT'S CALLED PELLEVE AND
PELEFIRM. SO FIRST, WE HAVE UM THE ONE FOR THE FACE WHICH IS
CALLED PELLEVE AND THIS IS A RADIO FREQUENCY DEVICE THAT IS
USED TO REFRESHEN THE SKIN, IT ACTUALLY UM REALLY REDUCES AND
SMOOTHES OUT WRINKLES ON THE SKIN. AND YOU SEE JUST A
DRAMATIC AFFECT. LETS TALK ABOUT PAIN CAUSE AGAIN, CHICKEN HERE.
YOU KNOW, I HAVE HAD THIS PROCEDURE. IT'S VERY RELAXING
AND PELEVE IS DONE ON THE FACE AND PELEFIRM IS ON THE BODY. AND
IF YOU'VE EVER EXPERIENCED ANY SPA TREATMENTS, IT ALMOST FEELS
LIKE THAT. (GASP)
IT A YEA, EXACTLY. NOW WE DO HAVE A PATIENT THAT
HAS GONE THRU THIS PROCEDURE. I'D LIKE TO HEAR WHAT SHE HAS TO
SAY, CAN WE LISTEN? UH HUH. YES.
OK LET'S TAKE A LISTEN REAL QUICK.
YOU GET LIKE A GLOWY LOOK. AND THEN WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS I
SEE THE SKIN JUST LOOKED AND FELT TIGHTER. WITH PELEVE WHAT I
LIKE ABOUT THE EYE IS THAT UM THERE REALLY AREN'T MUCH
INJECTABLES THAT YOU CAN PUT IN THERE. AND THIS MADE TOOK AWAY
UNDER THE CIRCLES UNDER MY EYES AND IT MADE THEM, THE WRINKLES
HAVE GONE AWAY. I ACTUALLY JUST HAD LUNCH WITH A GIRLFRIEND WHO
HASN'T SEEN ME IN A WHILE AND SHE'S LIKE YOU LOOK SO YOUNG.
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING? WELL SHE SEEMS HAPPY.
YOU KNOW THAT IS THE COMMON RESPONSE. AND AGAIN, I I TRY TO
GIVE ME PATIENTS THE REALITY OF DIFFERENT PROCEDURES AND THAT IS
SO TYPICAL. ALRIGHT, SO WE HAVE SOME BEFORE
AND AFTER PHOTOS. WALK ME THRU THIS AND ALSO TELL ME MORE ABOUT
PELEVE AND HOW IT WORKS. WELL PELEVE IS THE DEVICE THAT'S USED
FOR THE FACE AND THEY'RE DIFFERENT HAND PIECES THAT WE
HAVE AND IF YOU CAN SEE, THIS ONE IS MUCH
SMALLER THEN THE OTHER TWO. UH HUH.
THIS ONE IS USED AROUND THE EYES. IT DELIVERS RADIO
FREQUENCY WHICH IS A FORM OF A HEAT THRU THE SKIN TO THE DERMIS
WHICH STIMULATES COLLAGEN. BUT IT'S VERY RELAXING AND YOU CAN
GET IT DONE IN THESE AREAS AND YOU'LL SEE A DRAMATIC RESPONSE.
REALLY? IN THE SKIN AROUND THE EYES. AND
SO THAT'S WHAT'S DONE AND THERE'S A SERIES OF THESE THAT
ARE DONE A MONTH APART AND YOU'LL SEE AN IMMEDIATE RESULT
SO YOU CAN GO OUT THAT EVENING IF YOU WANTED TO YOU COULD PUT
MAKEUP ON AFTER THIS. THERE IS NO DOWN TIME.
WHICH IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE I SEE ALOT OF MY FRIENDS COMING AND
I'LL SAY WHAT DID YOU JUST DO? RIGHT.
AND YOU CAN SEE THEY'VE DONE SOMETHING.
EXACTLY. NO, YOU WILL NOT SEE THIS. IN FACT IT WILL LOOK
BETTER THAT SAME DAY. BUT THE FINAL OR DELAYED RESPONSE IS
ABOUT FOUR TO SIX MONTHS LATER SO IT ACTUALLY GETS BETTER.
OH THAT'S... SO THERE'S A SERIES OF TREATMENT
THAT ARE DONE ANYWHERE BETWEEN FOUR TO SIX A MONTH APART. AND
YOU'LL GRADUALLY SEE THAT IMPROVEMENT AT THE SIX MONTH
MARK. ALRIGHT AND THAT'S FOR THE FACE.
FOR THE FACE. NOW, THE OTHER ONE IS PELEFIRM.
THAT'S KINDA FOR THE CELLULITE AREAS?
YES, IT IT HELPS WITH THE APPEARANCE OF CELLULITE AND
WOMEN, YOU KNOW YOU CAN BE A SIZE TWO AND YOU'LL HAVE KIND OF
RIPPLY FAT AREAS ON THE THIGHS ARE THE BUTTOCKS. NOW THAT'S NOT
ME, BUT I AM A SIZE TWO. (LAUGHTER)
WELL, I HAVE IT. NOT YET.
YES, I HAVE IT AND IT'S WONDERFUL BECAUSE THESE ARE SOME
MASSAGE HEADS. THIS IS A RADIO FREQUENCY PIECE OF IT FOR THE
PELEFIRM. AND SO IT'S USED OVER THE BODY SO THE TECHNOLOGY IS
THE SAME AND THESE ARE USED UM AGAIN ON A MONTLY BASIS. THAT'S
WHAT THE SERIES WOULD BE. FOUR TO SIX TREATMENTS AND YOU'LL SEE
A DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT OF CELLULITE AND JUST THE FINE
LINES AND WRINKLES ON THE SKIN. WHEN YOU SEE YOUR BEFORE AND
AFTER PICTURES THAT'S ONE THING I LIKE TO SHOW PATIENTS IS
BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES AND EVEN THE ONES FIVE YEARS BEFORE.
THEY ACTUALLY LOOK BETTER NOW THEN THEY DID FIVE YEARS AGO.
AND YOU KNOW TO BE HONEST DOCTOR, IT IT'S NOT SO MUCH
ABOUT VANITY, I JUST THINK IF IT'S HAPPENING AND YOU CAN DO
SOMETHING TO STILL MAKE YOU FEEL BEAUTIFUL.
OOHH YES. AND EVEN MORE CONFIDENT. WHY
NOT? WHY NOT? THE BEST COMPLIMENT IS
YOU LOOK GREAT FOR YOUR AGE. ISN'T IT?
WELL I'M STARTING TO GET THAT. OOOHHHHH.
(LAUGHTER) I GUESS, AH WHATEVER, IT'S A
REALITY. BUT TAKE IT IN THE POSITIVE
ASPECT. I WILL, I WILL.
YOU LOOK GREAT FOR YOUR AGE AND ULTIMATELY PEOPLE ARE SAYING YOU
LOOK YOUNGER THEN YOUR AGE. AND THAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME TOO.
THAT'S A COMPLIMENT TO ME. SO FAR WOMEN WHO'D LIKE MORE
INFORMATION, WHERE DO THEY GO? THEY GO TO PELEVE.COM
PELEVE.COM YES.
ALRIGHT THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU'RE WELCOME.
AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T HAVE NEEDLES, I THINK I'M GOING TO GO

(LAUGHTER) YOU LOOK GREAT FOR YOUR AGE

OUR NEW YEAR, NEW YOU THEME CONTINUES HERE IN THE BALANCING
ACT KITCHEN WITH SOMETHING THAT'S NATURAL AND WHOLESOME,
QUINOA. AND JOINING ME TODAY IS ALICIA NEAL AND SCOTT SCHMIDT
FROM PATH OF LIFE. I WANT TO WELCOME YOU INTO OUR KITCHEN
THIS MORING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING US.
ALRIGHT, SCOTT I WANT TO TALK WITH YOU AND I HEAR ABOUT ALL
THESE QUINOA BLENDS, BUT FIRST TELL OUR AUDIENCE WHAT IS
QUINOA. THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION BECAUSE
THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT DON'T KNOW ABOUT QUINOA. IT'S
BECOME SO POPULAR OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS, BEING ONE OF THE
SUPER FOODS, BUT PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS. AND IT
TURNS OUT THAT IT'S ACTUALLY A CLOSE RELATIVE OF SPINACH.
REALLY? YEA, THIS AMAZIN PLANT IT
ACTUALLY COMES FROM THE ANDINE REGION IN SOUTH AMERICA WHERE
MOST OF HTE PRODUCT IS TRADITIONALLY GROWN. THESE
AMAZING EDIBLE SEEDS CAN BE USED JUST LIKE A GRAIN AND THAT'S WHY
PEOPLE OFTEN CONFUSE IT FOR A RICE OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE
LINES. YEA.
BUT IT'S NOT. IT'S A SEED, BUT THIS AMAZING SEED YOU WASH IT,
YOU CLEAN IT, AND THEN YOU COOK IT AND IT'S A VERY VERSATILE
PRODUCT. BUT THE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS SEED IS THAT IT'S A
COMPLETE PROTEIN, IT CONTAINS ALL NINE ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS
AND IT'S GLUTEN FREE. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES PEOPLE THINK
OF IT QUINOA AS BLAND, BUT YOU'VE BROUGHT THESE DELICIOUS
BLENDS AND VARIETIES ALICIA, TELL ME ABOUT THESE.
YES, WE HAVE FOUR PATH OF LIFE QUINOA BLENDS.
OK. AND THEY'RE ALL IN THIS NEW
FRESH PACKAGING SO THAT YOU CAN PICK OUT WHICH ONE'S YOUR
FAVORITE AT THE STORE SHELF BUT WE HAVE TWO ORGANIC QUINOA AND
KALE AND QUINOA AND BROWN RICE. AND TWO ALL NATURAL VARIETIES,
MEDITERRANEAN QUINOA AND SOUTH WEST QUINOA. AND THE GREAT THING
ABOUT THESE IS THEY TASTE GREAT, BUT THEY'RE ALSO A GREAT WAY TO
INTRODUCE QUINOA TO KIDS. SO I HAVE THREE KIDS AND ONE'S SIX HE
DOESN'T EAT MEAT, MY YOUNGER BOY HE CAN'T HAVE DAIRY, AND HIS
TWIN SISTER LEA SHE'S A DIVA AND EVERYDAY IS A DIFFERENT DAY WITH
HER. SO, I WAS TELLING SCOTT ABOUT MY DINNER DRAMA HOW YOU
KNOW THEY NEVER WANT TO EAT THE SAME THING AND HE'S LIKE YOU
SHOULD TRY THE QUINOA AND BROWN RICE. HE HAS KIDS AND HE SAID
THAT THEY LOVE IT AND I'M LIKE UGHH I DON'T KNOW IF MY KIDS ARE
GONNA LOVE IT, BUT I GAVE IT TO THEM FOR DINNER THAT NIGHT AND
THEY LOVED IT. LIKE ATE THE WHOLE BOWL. SO I'M LIKE..
WOW. NOW ON THOSE NIGHTS WHEN I JUST
WANT TO HIT THE EASY BUTTON AND MAKE THE DINNER FAIRY APPEAR I
HAVE SOMETHING IN MY FREEZER I CAN JUST PULL OUT AND GET IT ON
THE TALBE IN A FEW MINUTES. THAT'S FANTASTIC. SO TELL ME
SCOTT HOW ARE PATH OF LIFE QUINOA BLENDS HOW ARE THEY
PREPARED? WELL THAT'S THE GREAT THING
ABOUT IT. WHAT WE'VE TRIED TO IS BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS SUCH A BUSY
LIFESTYLE THESE DAYS WHAT WE'VE TREID TO DO IS MAKE A NUTRITIOUS
MEAL OR SIDE DISH REALLY CONVENIENT.
MMMM. BUT THOSE TWO THINGS DON'T
NORMALLY MATCH. IT'S EITHER HEALTHY OR CONVENIENT. WHAT
WE'VE TRIED TO DO IS DO BOTH. YEA.
SO WE'VE TAKEN ALL THE HARD WORK OUT OF QUINOA WHICH HAS
TRADITIONALLY BEEN ONE OF THOSE ITEMS WHERE YOU HAVE TO LIKE I
SAID COOK, CLEAN, AND THEN WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT. WE'VE TAKEN
SOME GREAT INGREDIENTS, PUT THEM TOGETHER. YOU CAN STEAM THIS FOR
FOUR MINUTES OR PUT IT INTO A PAN. BUT I'LL SEEM THIS FOR YOU
RIGHT NOW. PERFECT.
LOOK AT HOW EASY THIS IS. I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS BAG, IN THE
MICROWAVE, FOUR MINUTES YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE EITHER A GREAT
MEAL OR SIDE DISH FOR YOU OUR YOUR FAMILY.
I LOVE THAT. AS YOU SAID IT'S A MEAL, BUT LET'S LOOK AT THIS.
YOU'VE GOT SOME GREAT SIDE DISHES GOING ON HERE AS WELL.
UMMHMM. SO IF YOU CAN'T COOK LIKE ME...
(LAUGHTER) ONE OF MY GO TO THINGS IS GOING
TO THE STORE AND GRABBING A ROTISSERIE CHICKEN AND I KNOW
THAT'S ONE OF SCOTT'S FAVORITES AS WELL. SO YOU CAN JUST PAIR IT
WITH ROTISSERIE CHICKEN OR YOU CAN GRILL SOME SLAMON OR FISH
UP... OOOO I LOVE THAT.
IT WORKS VERY NICELY WITH OUR QUINOA AND KALE. IF YOU WANT TO
KICK IT UP ANOTHER NOTCH, MAYBE EVEN DOING A NICE LIGHT
APPETIZER LIKE MEDITERRANEAN LETTUCE WRAPS OR POBLANO STUFFED
PEPPERS WITH OUR SOUTHWEST QUINOA. AND HERE FOR A TWIST ON
OUR ORDINARY UM STIR FRY. LOVE THAT.
WE USE SOME BROWN RICE AND OUR PATH OF LIFE ORGANIC BROCCOLI
WITH TOFU. YOU KNOW WHAT I REALLY LIKE
ABOUT THIS IS THAT IT'S PORTABLE. I MEAN YOU CAN TAKE IT
RIGHT TO THE OFFICE, PUT IT IN THE MICROWAVE AND SOMETIMES YOU
REALLY CAN'T FIND A HEALTHY OPTION AT THE OFFICE SO I
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT IDEA. UM YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO TASTE
SOME OF THIS BUT I ALSO WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I NOTICED THAT I
CAN READ AND PRONOUNCE EVERY INGREDIENT ON THIS BAG. IT'S ALL
WHOLESOME AND NATURAL, RIGHT? THAT'S SO IMPORTANT TO US AT
PATH OF LIFE. THAT'S REALLY WHAT OUR BRAND IS ABOUT. WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO IS BRING CONVENIENCE FOODS AND MIX IT
WITH A NATURAL CLEAN LABEL. AND AS YOU CAN SEE OUR CHEF HE
ALWAYS SAYS, I WANT OUR LABEL TO READ LIKE IT'S NOT A SCIENCE
PROJECT. AND THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO US.
IT'S SUCH A GREAT THING. SOMETIMES I LOOK AT THE LABELS
AND I'M LIKE OHH CAN'T EAT THAT. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M GOING TO
TRY IT. I'M GOING TO TRY THIS SOUTHWEST QUINOA, YUM, OH MY
GOSH. I KNOW IT'S SO EASY TOO.
SO EASY. THE BELL PEPPERS, YOU SLICE THEM, YOU PUT IT IN,
YOU'RE DONE. UMMHMM.
OK I'LL KEEP CHEWING BUT I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU BOTH FOR
STOPPING BY. I'M GONNA GO RIGHT OUT OF THE STUDIO WITH THESE
BAGS, PACK THEM IN FOR MY KIDS AND A GREAT MEAL IS ON THE WAY.
GREAT TO HAVE YOU HERE TODAY. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.
THANKS SO MUCH. YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE? LOG ONTO

EXPECTING A REFUND FROM THE IRS. WHY NOT STREAMLINE THE TAX
FILING PROCESS BY SIMPLIFYING YOUR OWN TAX PREPARATION AND

SHOPPING, BUT YOU KNOW IT'S CHALLENGING SOMETIMES, LET'S BE
HONEST. AND SOMETIMES WE MAKE ALOT OF COMMON MISTAKES. CAN YOU
TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE? YEA, SO THE MOST COMMON MISTAKE
PEOPLE MAKE AND THE WORST MISTAKE YOU CAN MAKE IS JUST
BELIEVING THAT TAXES ARE BEYOND YOUR CONTROL, BEYOND YOUR
UNDERSTANDING. THAT'S NOT TRUE. YOU CAN DO YOUR TAXES AND IT'S
SIMPLE. IT'S NOT SIMPLE, BUT YOU'RE
GOING TO CONVINCE ME THAT IT IS TODAY.

RUT. WE ARE.

YES, YOU'RE MISSING OUT. TECHNOLOGY HAS CHANGED. IF YOU
WERE USING THE SAME OLD WAY TO FILE YOUR TAXES THEN YOU'RE
MISSING OUT. SO WHEN IT COMES TO REFUNDS IS
THE AVERAGE TAX FILER GETTING BACK ALL THEY DESERVE.
YOU KNOW MOST PEOPLE AREN'T... REALLY?
YEA, THERE ARE... WHY NOT?
BECAUSE EVERY YEAR THE TAX CODE CHANGES. THERE ARE NEW
DEDUCTIONS AND THERE ARE NEW CREDITS. BUT THE AVERAGE PERSON
