My story · Germán Hércules
I’m Germán Hércules. I first wanted to feel better and take better care of myself as a father. What I experienced, and later shared with my parents, gave me a reason to help others.
Herbalife Independent Distributor · More than 20 years of experience
01 · My beginning
After becoming a father, I gained 40 pounds and often felt drained. I tried gyms, strict diets and demanding routines, but I struggled to keep the changes going. I wanted a starting point I could make part of my daily life.
That search brought me to Herbalife. I was skeptical at first, but I gave myself the opportunity to try the products and change my habits. During that stage, I lost 35 pounds. More than a number, it became a different way of caring for myself.
The experience did not stay with me alone. My family began making changes too. Seeing us take this path together motivated me to share what I was learning.
02 · My parents
My parents also wanted to improve their well-being and manage their weight. I keep these photos as part of our family’s journey and in memory of them.
As they used the products and changed their eating habits, my mother lost 45 pounds and my father lost 65 pounds. Those were their individual experiences. What mattered deeply to me was seeing their commitment and sharing this stage as a family.
They later became Herbalife Independent Distributors. They wanted to share their experience and explore the business by helping other people learn about nutrition and the products.
These family photos and weight changes document individual experiences. They are not typical-result claims, treatment claims or a guarantee of another person’s results.
03 · Learning about the business
I attended a Success Training Seminar and heard Pedro Cardoso share his story. It moved me and left me with questions. I wanted to learn more for myself, so that same week I began attending local training in Commerce, California.
My dad, who was also my boss at the time, came along to see what I was exploring. After the presentation, he wanted to work on the business with me. The next day, we spoke with my other seven brothers and sisters. That was the beginning of a shared family effort.
04 · Milestones I remember
That month, together we sold more than $20,000 in products. That figure was product sales, not personal take-home income.
My parents earned a company-paid vacation to the Bahamas, and I received a $1,000 royalty payment. Those moments became part of our family’s history.
More than 20 years later, I continue learning, sharing and building. I have lived through growth and seasons of rebuilding. Those experiences shape how I guide people today: with education, personal support and practical steps.
These are historical experiences from my family’s business, not typical earnings or a promise of income, travel or success. Sales and royalty payments are not the same as net profit; expenses affect profitability. Results depend on work, skill and individual circumstances.

05 · My mission
My mission is to help people build healthier lives, with more confidence and purpose, through simple habits, caring support and a community that celebrates each step.
I want Hercules Wellness to be a welcoming community where we learn, support each other and turn what works into practices we can share. I want to make the next step clearer, whether you begin with your well-being or later choose to learn about the business.
I start by listening to your goals, your struggles and what you have already tried. Then I help you understand the options and choose a practical next step. I share what I have learned, while respecting your own pace and decisions.
