OneBode Review and History

OneBode no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Original Npros business profile for OneBode, preserved below for archival purposes:

OneBodÄ" was an Arizona-based nutritional supplement and holistic wellness company founded in 2006 by Sean and Tylene Loomer. Based in Tempe, the company focused on whole-food nutrition, plant-based nutrients, digestive enzymes, probiotics, vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional supplements. OneBodÄ" developed a following among professional athletes and health professionals, and NBA star Steve Nash became a prominent investor and partner in the business. Forbes reported in 2012 that Nash owned approximately 20% of OneBodÄ".

The company's product line was built around nutritional formulas designed for different health and fitness goals. Products included Balance, Blend, Build, Define, Escalate, Flex, Flo, and Recover. Flo combined digestive enzymes and probiotics, while products such as Balance, Blend, and Flex targeted areas including nutritional support, metabolism, and joint health. OneBodÄ" also operated a wellness facility in Tempe and offered programs such as its 28 Day Transformation alongside its nutritional products.

OneBodÄ" used a referral-based direct-selling model that rewarded customers and product representatives for introducing new purchasers. Historical descriptions of the program stated that customers could earn $4 in rewards per qualifying product purchased by people they referred, with rewards extending through as many as four generations of referrals. The company provided members with identification numbers, personalized websites, and marketing materials to track their referrals and rewards. This gave the original OneBodÄ" program a network-marketing-style structure, although it was less complex than many traditional MLM compensation plans.

The company went through several ownership changes. In July 2013, publicly traded Tranzbyte Corporation acquired OneBode Holdings and OneBode Ventures. Just one year later, in July 2014, Tranzbyteâ€"by then operating as American Greenâ€"sold the OneBodÄ" assets for $3.5 million to The Healthy Home Company and OneBodÄ" founders Sean and Tylene Loomer. OneBodÄ" products were incorporated into Healthy Home's broader natural and wellness product business.

The Healthy Home Company used what it called a "direct retailing" model, paying members a recurring 10% commission on purchases made by personally referred members and offering an additional opportunity to become professional company representatives. That direct-selling structure was short-lived. In August 2015, Healthy Home announced that it was leaving the direct-selling and membership-buying-club model and transitioning to conventional retail distribution. As a result, the OneBodÄ" network marketing and referral opportunity effectively ended.
