About Rick 
& Chris Parlante
We know exactly what you are thinking. Why, because we thought the same thing when we first were introduced to Monavie. Sounds like a great product, makes perfect sense … but … it’s a network marketing company??
Being in real estate for 20 plus years I have had every network marketing company under the sun approach me with their widgets. I said no to all of them for various reasons but I mainly said no because we didn’t feel confident about the product and sometimes even the person introducing it.
Monavie comes along and because of the integrity of the person who introduced us and the value of the product I made a decision to get half way involved. I decided to try the product for now and shelve the opportunity because I didn’t understand the industry. One year later because of that decision my eyes were opened to not only the value of the Monavie products with how they effected me, but I was able to see how the lives of others were changed physically just like me. For those who embraced the opportunity there were huge financial benefits which I totally missed out on.
Chris and I are thrilled to be MonaVie Blue Diamonds. For us, the key in life is not to worry about our own success too much. Instead, we focus on helping others accomplish their goals. And in doing so, our goals are also achieved.
This philosophy has blessed us with a top-producing real estate business, a fantastic lifestyle in beautiful Naples, Florida, a great family and personal life, and a gang-busting MonaVie distributorship.
That’s not to say we are guided only by instinct…
Twenty five years practicing martial arts and a bad car wreck put unbelievable stress and strain on my body. The pain was so great that doctors put me on a course of the most potent painkillers available. These same medications were soon deemed unsafe and taken off the market by the FDA. My doctor’s only advice for an alternative was double strength Advil, maximum limit per day. And that’s how I got by, for too many years.
Chris and I welcome you to Monavie and our exclusive team website.
We are thrilled you have made a decision to improve your health and/or increase your finances. As you will read, Chris and I did both! We never imagined life could be soooo good!!!
Discovering Monavie through our dear friend, Charlie and Debbie Kalb, was a blessing. Charlie, a fellow realtor, had stopped by my office to give me an opportunity to try a new juice blend that had shown to have significant health benefits for those who drank it. As for me, my thought was simple…why not!
For over thirty years I have practiced martial arts. Years of being thrown on the mats had taken a toll on my body. I suffered with severe back pain to the point my neurologist suggested various medications but nothing seemed to work. Finally, he recommended surgery. It was at this time that Charlie came to see me. So you can see why I was so receptive to trying the product. I had tried everything else without success.
To my amazement, after drinking just two ounces of Monavie Active twice a day for 30 days, the pain was being relieved. I continued drinking it and within just a few short months, the pain was completely gone. Needless to say, I did not schedule surgery! My friends at the dojo noticed the difference in me and asked me about the product. It was then I realized Monavie had a superior product and I could help others with their inflammation issues.
Having such an improvement with joint pain is one thing however having the ability to take a black belt test in Jujitsu 4 months later really tells the story:
A little over five years now and I’m still pain free and so are many of my friends and family. Not only pain free but 53 pounds lighter with the recent introduction of Monavie’s new meal replacement product called RVL (reveal). Chris says I’m only half the man I used to be! 
I have heard hundreds of testimonials from our teams and it is so remarkable to me how this product is changing the quality of life in so many people.
Chris, on the other hand, did not have any pain to deal with. She had allergies. She started drinking the Mmun product for the immune system. She too has noticed a decline in her symptoms and is very happy with the results.

The Physical Benefits of MonaVie are Fantastic; But There’s Even More…
There is a need in our society for improved health and preventative measures to keep us healthy. Most of us live everyday in survival mode – just get to Friday, finish the week and squeeze in some time to relax or spend with family. That’s if you’re lucky enough not to be working 2 or even 3 jobs just to make ends meet. This need, to have the time and resources to relax, have some fun, travel, play, do the things that we WANT to do; this need to have more than just a job that may or may not be here tomorrow; this need to make a difference in our lives or the lives of others, to do something REAL…this need produced a mission in addition for better health for all at MonaVie – a mission embraced wholeheartedly by our MVP / Monavie family.
It’s funny how things happen. How people of like-minds “find” each other. Many believe that there are no coincidences, and in the case of the coming together of the MVP family, that is very true.
For us, it is much bigger than the juice. It is a movement to healthy ways of thinking and of living. If you think you might be of the same mind, we invite you to join us.
