- Thomas Philbin-Malucelli of Sydney, Australia, Takes Home US$50,000 in 
Worldwide Health and Wellness Competition

Isagenix International, a global health and wellness company providing 
nutrition and lifestyle solutions, has announced a Sydney, Australia, man as 
the 2019 global grand prize winner of its total-body transformation program, 
the IsaBody Challenge(R). Thomas Philbin-Malucelli earned the honor at the 
Isagenix Global Celebration event in Nashville, Tennessee, last week.

Philbin-Malucelli, who will receive a US$50,000 cash prize and an 
all-expenses-paid trip to the Isagenix Celebration 2020 event in Utah, competed 
against 10 individuals who had been named IsaBody Challenge Grand Prize Winners 
in their markets: Canada, Colombia, Europe, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Mexico, New 
Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan, and the United States. These winners rose as 
champions from thousands of competitors, with Philbin-Malucelli recognized as a 
champion among champions — the top global representative for this year's health 
and wellness challenge. 

"We're thrilled to honor Thomas as our global grand prize winner. The 
impressive discipline, perseverance, and commitment he's shown to improving his 
health and fitness is an inspiration to all," said Travis Ogden, chief 
executive officer of Isagenix. "We wish him continued success and thank him for 
demonstrating how our exceptional nutrition solutions can help people embrace 
and achieve healthy change."

Meet the Global Grand Prize Winner

Thomas Philbin-Malucelli, Age 32

As a burned-out restaurant manager, Philbin-Malucelli was working long hours 
and late nights and felt like his life was falling apart. He was losing his 
health, his relationship, and his self-confidence. He wanted to make a change, 
but the negative environment and people he surrounded himself with left him 
feeling stuck until he found the IsaBody Challenge. After completing six 
Challenges and gaining 19 pounds of lean muscle, he was named the 2019 
Australia IsaBody Challenge Grand Prize Winner, allowing him to compete in the 
global IsaBody(TM) competition.*

IsaBody has given Philbin-Malucelli not only the space to set big goals and the 
community to inspire and motivate him, but also the love and support he needed 
to keep pushing himself every day. Now, he's the fittest, strongest, and 
happiest he's ever been. 

"I feel so amazing. This program gave me the freedom to become who I wanted to 
become," Philbin-Malucelli said. "It has taken hard work and commitment to get 
here, but I'm thankful every single day for being on this journey."

*Weight loss, muscle gain, lifestyle, and other results depicted here reflect 
exceptional individual experiences of Isagenix customers and should not be 
construed as typical or average. Results vary with individual effort, body 
composition, eating patterns, time, exercise, and other factors, such as 
genetic and physiological makeup. A two-phase 2016 study (

) published by researchers at Skidmore College showed an average weight loss of 
24 pounds after 12 weeks. The study evaluated the use of Isagenix products in 
men and women for weight loss followed by weight maintenance. During the weight 
maintenance phase, the subjects who continued the calorie-controlled program 
using Isagenix products better maintained their weight loss in comparison to 
those who transitioned to a traditional diet after 52 weeks.
