| Preferred Customer Qualification Change |
| Currently, in order to qualify to become a Preferred
Customer, a customer must make an initial purchase
of either $100 or $50 and a $50 auto-ship.
Starting January 1st, 2008, the qualifications to become
a Preferred Customer are changing to require an
accumulated minimum product purchase amount of $300
and an enrolment in the auto-ship program for a
minimum of $50.
Once a customer has reached the $300 product purchase
amount (and this can be achieved over a period of
time), the customer contacts Nouvelle’s Customer
Service at 702-617-7885 to sign up as a Preferred
Customer. At that time, the customer will be asked
to sign up and maintain a minimum auto-ship of $50.
This new auto-ship is a requirement for Preferred
Customer status and cancellation of the auto-ship
voids Preferred Customer status.
Current Preferred Customers and Preferred Customers
signed up between now and December 31st, will be
“grandfathered” in the system and not required to
fulfil the above requirements to be qualified.

| Preferred Customer Discount Rate Change |
| Nearly a year ago we adjusted the discount rate for Preferred
Customers in order to create a more appropriate
difference between Distributors and Preferred Customers.
It was our intention at that time to make the discount
fall evenly between the retail price and the Distributors
discount, but decided to implement the change in
a two step process to lessen its impact on our loyal
customers. Now the time has come to initiate that
final change and reduce the discount rate one more
time.
Starting January 1st, the Preferred Customer discount
will be as follows:

| A Message from our President Dr. Les
Griffith |
This past month I had the opportunity
to attend the Supply Side Trade Show in Las Vegas
and it turned out to be not only an eye-opening
revelation but another turning point for Nouvelle.
Supply Side is a unique gathering of those companies
that supply product, manufacturing, equipment, and
just about everything else that a business such
as ours needs. I had the most pleasurable opportunity
to meet with and discuss business with the owner
and Chief Executive Officer of the largest farm
that raises Hoodia in South Africa—Innovation Africa.
Innovation Africa is the largest supplier of Hoodia
to markets in the world. They provide testing for
their Hoodia using the same independent lab that
we have been using, Alkemists, and provide the only
standardized Hoodia available in today’s market.
After doing our due-diligence on them, switching
Hoodia providers was clearly the right thing to
do. Also at the same meeting, I had the opportunity
to meet with ProTec Laboratory, one of the nation’s
most outstanding nutritional manufacturing companies.
Fully FDA and GMP compliant they have one of the
best Quality Assurance programs in place that I
have ever seen. With the capability of running over
7 million capsules per 8 hour shift, it is a company
that we won’t outgrow and who, in fact, will help
us get to where we need to be.

| Training and Development: The Holidays
and Training |
‘Tis the season to be eating…eating…eating
and by January 2nd when you step on the scale
you may shriek with alarm. No matter what you
do throughout the year, when the holidays arrive
it seems to always be time to go unconscious and
eat whatever is served.
There are ways to avoid this unnecessary behavior pattern.
Remember you have a new secret weapon to protect
you against the holiday “Eat-a-thon.” PRiME!
PRiME is your best friend for the holidays.
As a matter of fact, this is the most important time
to remember your PRiME. You might even want to
send out a reminder to your downline encouraging
them to give PRiME as a gift and as a subtle reminder
to take it themselves every festive morning. A
conference call could also support those who want
to maintain their PRiME bodies throughout the
holiday season.
I have just recently achieved what Dr. Les calls our
PRiME Goal: I can now zip up, sit and stand in
my skinny jeans! That is something to celebrate
and share! I was on a flight from Amsterdam to
Chicago, and I was talking to a flight attendant
and she was sharing how difficult it is for her
to maintain her weight with all the travel. I
said, “I have found the gift of the Magi that
has helped me shed 10 pounds!” She asked if I
could send her information and I replied, “With
pleasure!”
Remember, there will always be at least one person in
every environment who wants to shed 10 pounds.
All you have to do is smile, share, and open up
the possibility for them to try something new…it
might be just the solution they are searching
for to an old unwanted problem. I ask people,
“Would you be interested in having 10 pounds vanish
from your life?” When their eyes widen, I say,
“How soon do you want it?” If they say they can’t
afford it, I say, “You will be cutting your grocery
bill in half. It is a reallocation of funds!”
I invite their objections because it is so much
fun watching them open up to a new possibility…
As a special Holiday gift for you, we are offering you
The Twelve Days of Christmas Training. Call 800-321-6342,
ask for Kevin and request your The Twelve Days
of Christmas gift. You will receive the Virtual
Training modules to support you and your team
for 12 consecutive days.

| NouvelleHEALTH Product Testimonials:
Cathy Griffith from Las Vegas |
I'm a registered nurse at a hospital in Las Vegas and
anyone who has worked in this business knows there's
always a lot of snack food around. Lots of cookies,
donuts, and chips.
This picture of me at Christmas made me realize
I was overweight. I saw that picture and thought
“Who is that?”—it was startling to see my shape.
I thought that's it, that's unbelievable, I need
to do something about this. It was at this time
that Dr. Griffith had created PRiME. So I started on it, and saw results right away, 6-8 pounds
came off in the first week...I just forgot to
eat! On PRiME you don't feel deprived, you don't
feel hungry. I'm so amazed with this product.
People that I've started on the product come up
to me and tell me how happy they are with it and
that is a really nice feeling.
What's funny is I still see all those snack foods
around, but now I'm not constantly thinking about
them. I watch other people around me struggling
while I'm just not interested. I eat when I'm
hungry and really don't worry about what I'm eating.

| The Company: Financial Year in Review |
| 2007
– What a great year! The NouvelleHEALTH sales team
has met and even exceeded our sales targets for
each month in 2007. The total yearly sales volume
for the company will be about 240% above the 2006
sales volume. This amazing growth is a direct result
of our outstanding Distributors and our wonderful
products.
A major part of the success story for this year is how
strong the sales have continued through November
and early December. These are traditionally slow
periods for sales yet, even though our growth rate
has slowed a little from prior months, NouvelleHEALTH
has continued to meet the targets we set for November
and up to the time of this article in December.
NouvelleHEALTH has had a compelling story up to this
point. It’s required unique and quality product
development by Dr. Griffith and the perseverance
to keep the company going during the startup and
develop time when so many companies give up and
fold. It illustrates Dr. Griffith’s tenacity, but
also shows that the NouvelleHEALTH products are
effective health related products. The fact that
the growth rate is so outstanding and those purchasing
products continue to do so each month as well as
bring others into the NouvelleHEALTH team is solid
evidence that the products work.
As with most young companies there have been some growing
pains. Problems are sometimes encountered and solutions
found. The exciting part about 2007 is that we found
opportunities for improvement in some of those problems
making us well positioned for 2008.
We now have a new manufacturer with superior quality
control procedures with recognized certifications
of the product content and quality. We have moved
the distribution to shorten the shipping and distribution
time to most customers. We transferred to a new
IT provider that will improve our data processing.
And at the end of November we relocated to new office
space that will allow for better and more efficient
company management, customer service, and Distributor
service.
All in all, 2007 has been a great year with considerable
positive change and growth. We have appreciated
the enthusiasm and patience of everyone and feel
strongly that we are in a much better position to
serve the needs of customers, Distributors, and
investors to work together for an extremely successful
2008.

| Distributor's Corner: PRiME Label Enhanced! |
 |
| As
you’ve heard, we recently changed manufacturers
and with that took the opportunity to enhance the
PRiME label and give us some bragging rights. Though
essentially the same label, we’ve now added certificates
that show PRiME is:
• cGMP Certified (“current Good Manufacturing Practices”
regulated by the FDA),
• Alkemists Tested (internationally recognized independent
testing laboratory), and
• CITES Certified (this certification ensures that
the plant content, specifically Hoodia, is obtained
legally).
Additionally, through our manufacturer, we are able
to provide Hoodia that is standardized to 0.2% P57
(the active ingredient in Hoodia). We even think
the purple looks better!

| This Month’s Product Feature: COMPLETE |
| Why do we take vitamin and mineral supplements? Taking
supplements can actually help healthy people for
a number of reasons. There is the obvious reason
that they can help prevent vitamin and mineral deficiencies
when the diet is not adequate to provide all the
necessary nutrients. But they can also provide amounts
of nutrients larger than what normal food intake
provides for when needs are temporarily increased.
Larger amounts of some nutrients may help overcome
some threats and help protect against others.
People may consume foods that are deficient in one or
more nutrients for a variety of reasons. The typical
Western diet often supplies less than adequate amounts
of several essential vitamins and minerals. And
that does not take into account the fact that greater
and greater numbers of people are turning to fast
foods for more and more. It’s almost become a cliché
to say that fast food is notoriously high in fat
and low in nutrients. Recent surveys in the U.S.
have found large numbers of people consume too little
calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, and manganese.
People who are trying to lose weight, vegetarians, and
people with special diets such as macrobiotics can
place themselves at risk of deficiencies that vary
with each type of diet. Certain
groups of people applying these special diets are
at especially high risk of dietary deficiencies.
Studies have found that elderly people living in
their own homes often have dietary deficiencies
of vitamin A and vitamin E, as well as vitamin D,
along with calcium, zinc, and vitamins B1 and B2.
Women are commonly found to have low amounts of
vitamin A, C, and D, as well as calcium and iron.
So, whether you take vitamin supplements to help you
maintain your healthy status or for a deficiency
in your diet that you know about—or perhaps more
importantly; a deficiency you don’t know about.
COMPLETE contains all the vitamin supplements you’ll
need, such as Calcium, the most abundant mineral
in the body making up about 2% of the total body
weight. Everyone knows it builds and maintains bone
and teeth but it’s also extremely important in the
body’s enzyme activity and for the contraction of
muscles, release of neurotransmitters, regulation
of heart beat and the clotting of blood. Magnesium
is second only to Potassium in terms of concentration
in the body and its primary function is enzyme activation
as well as playing a critical role in energy production.
Iron is critical to human life and plays a central
role in our red blood cells ability to carry oxygen
to cells and carbon dioxide away from cells. Iron
is also key in several enzymes that have to do with
energy production. Zinc is in every cell in the
body and is a key component in over 200 enzymes…more
than any other mineral. It’s necessary for the proper
action of body hormones such as thymic (immune system),
insulin, growth hormone, and sex hormones. Copper
is an essential trace mineral involved in several
key enzymatic functions and is the third most abundant
trace mineral in the body with the highest concentration
per gram of tissue being in the brain. Manganese
is involved in growth and repair of bones and joints
as well as fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Vitamin A
helps in growth and repair mechanisms and is critical
to normal immune function and to functions of the
eyes. Vitamin C is the most popular vitamin supplement
in the United States and probably the most controversial.
It’s critical in immune function, repair and healing
mechanisms, and for normal function of cartilage
and tendons. Vitamin E protects cell membranes from
oxidative damage and so is important to normal nerve,
muscle, and cellular function. Vitamin D is by definition
both a hormone and a vitamin and is critical for
normal immune function particularly certain anticancer
activities. Vitamin B1 is essential for energy production,
carbohydrate metabolism, and nerve cell function.
Vitamin B2 is crucial in the production of energy
and in regenerating one of the body’s critical antioxidants.
And that’s just 12 of the 49 vitamins and minerals
in COMPLETE. Nouvelle COMPLETE is peace of mind
in a bottle!
