Living R3 Review: David Harris resurrects Uncorked Living
Living R3 operates in the dietary supplements MLM niche.
On its website Living R3 provides a corporate address in Edmond, Oklahoma.
Heading up Living R3 are co-founders David and Jennifer Harris (right).
From the Harris’ respective Living R3 corporate bios;
Jennifer has conquered numerous Spartan races, cycling events, and marathons, showcasing her indomitable spirit and relentless determination.
As a certified health coach, Jennifer’s expertise and guidance have positively transformed countless lives, leading individuals towards optimal well-being and helping them unleash their full potential.
David is a prominent entrepreneur, author, and conservative political commentator.
Beyond his literary prowess, David has established himself as an innovative entrepreneur, successfully founding ventures that thrive under his visionary leadership.
From what I’ve been able to piece together, Living R3 was announced in late 2023 but didn’t actually launch till around August 2024.
Circa April 2012 David and Jennifer Harris launched Uncorked Health & Wellness.
Uncorcked Health & Wellness was an MLM company…
…that promoted a range of dietary supplements:
The MLM side of Uncorcked Health & Wellness disappeared from its website towards the end of 2017. The company appears to have continued on selling its products direct-to-consumer.
In 2019 Uncorcked Health & Wellness rebranded as Uncorked Living and changed website domains. Today Uncorked Health & Wellness’ and Uncorcked Living’s website domains redirect to Living R3.
Read on for a full review of Living R3’s MLM opportunity.

Living R3’s Compensation Plan
Living R3 pays commissions on the sale of products to referred retail customers and recruited affiliates.
Living R3 Affiliate Ranks
There are three affiliate ranks within Living R3’s compensation plan.
Along with their respective qualification criteria, they are as follows:
- Active – sign up as a Living R3 affiliate and generate and maintain 100 PV a month
- Qualified – recruit and maintain three Active or higher ranked affiliates
- All In – recruit and maintain three Qualified or higher ranked affiliates
PV stands for “Personal Volume”. PV is sales volume generated by retail customer orders and an affiliate’s own purchases.
Retail Commissions
Living R3 pays a 35% commission on sales volume generated by retail customer orders.
Residual Commissions
Living R3 pays residual commissions via a 3×9 matrix.
A 3×9 matrix places an affiliate at the top of a matrix with three positions directly under them:
These three positions form the first level of the matrix. The second level of the matrix is generated by splitting these first three positions into another three positions each (nine positions).
Levels three to nine of the matrix are generated in the same manner, with each new level of the matrix housing three times as many positions as the previous level.
Residual commissions are paid as a percentage of sales volume generated across the matrix based on rank:
- Active ranked affiliates earn $50 on level 1 (???, see note below) and 8% on level 2
- Qualified ranked affiliates earn $50 on level 1 (???, see note below), 8% on level 2, 15% on level 3, 4% on levels 4 and 5 and 2% on levels 6 and 7
- All In ranked affiliates earn $50 on level 1 (???, see note below), 8% on level 2, 15% on level 3, 4% on levels 4 and 5, 2% on levels 6 to 8 and 3% on level 9
On level 1 commissions, Living R3’s compensation plan cites a flat $50 paid out (click to enlarge):
Based on the paragraph above the chart, I’m guessing this is based on the sale of a $120 Club Pack.
Unfortunately given this is the only level 1 commission provided, the commission rate paid out on non-Club Pack orders is unclear.
Rank Achievement Bonus
Living R3 affiliates who qualify at Qualified within 30 days of signing up receive a $100 Rank Achievement Bonus.
Living R3 affiliates who qualify at All In within 60 days of signing up receive a $200 Rank Achievement Bonus.
Joining Living R3
Living R3 affiliate membership is $55 annually.
When signing up, Living R3 affiliates are also presented with option Club Packs. There are fourteen Club Pack options, starting at $119.95.
For some reason no pricing is provided on thirteen of the fourteen offered Club Pack options.
Living R3 Conclusion
The elephant in the room with Living R3 is obviously David J. Harris Jr.’s political commentary aspirations.
Harris Jr. is quite obviously in the Republican Trump camp and, for the purpose of an MLM review, that’s irrelevant. I say this because a visit to Living R3’s website is an apolitical experience.
I can’t however say the same for religion:
To be clear, irrespective of which religion, I think mixing religion and business is a terrible idea. It can be especially problematic in MLM companies where networking is important.
Not having the “right” beliefs can see affiliates and customers left excluded. And at the worse end of the spectrum targeted.
Not saying that’s happening in Living R3, just pointing out why mixing religion and business is a bad idea. I bring this up whenever I see religion used to market an MLM company.
Circling back to politics, even though Living R3 presents itself as apolitical – again if you don’t have the “right” beliefs, you might find yourself having a hard time.
I’d probably be flagging Harris’ politics as more of a red flag if the MLM came after, but as far as I can tell Uncorcked Health & Wellness came first. Harris making politics his entire public identity appear to have begun around 2015, and in earnest throughout 2016.
What I question is joining an MLM company whose founder clearly has priorities elsewhere. In saying that, I don’t mean to diminish Jennifer Harris’ contribution to Living R3 – but a search for “r3 Jennifer Harris” doesn’t comparatively turn up much.
David Harris is obviously climbing the political commentator ladder and, if that’s working out, more power to him. What does that mean for Living R3?
Harris is prolific on social media. He’s made twenty-two posts to Twitter over the last 24 hours – and this seems to be a regular thing.
Just three of Harris’ posts twenty-two posts to Twitter were non-political. Out of curiosity I ran a search for when the last time Harris mentioned Living R3 on his extremely active Twitter profile, and it was back in October 2024:
Hypothetically, lets say Harris becomes the next Alex Jones or whoever he’s aspiring to be. Where does that leave Living R3?
Harris is already competing directly with his affiliates on his own website, which I guarantee you has more visibility on it than any Living R3 affiliate’s marketing efforts.
It’s not hard to imagine the more Living R3 as an MLM company gets dumped and Harris goes on to continue selling supplements directly.
Not a deal-breaker but something one has to take into consideration in evaluating Living R3 as an MLM company.
Weakening the opportunity still is nothing really standing out in Living R3’s supplement line. Political commentary and supplements is a bit of a cliche and, while Living R3’s offering might be more than a cash grab, what sets the supplements apart isn’t adequately conveyed on Living R3’s website.
One visit’s Living R3’s website, clicks “shop” and is presented with pretty generic supplement marketing descriptions.
Who manufacturers Living R3’s supplements isn’t disclosed but I suspect they’re being pumped out of a generic white-label factory in the US somewhere.
Not having a marketing hook or differentiator leaves Living R3 competing in a pretty saturated supplement market. Why am I choosing Living R3 over the gazillion other products out there (both MLM and non-MLM)?
One positive is that Living R3’s compensation plan is pretty straight-forward. Three ranks, a matrix-based compensation plan and sales tied to product purchases.
Where things might get dicey is if the majority of product purchases are made by Living R3 affiliates over retail customers.
Easy fix? Living R3 has a 100 PV a month qualification requirement. Make that 100 PV retail required volume, match the three required recruited affiliates with three required active retail customers and compliance just got a whole lot easier.
One obstacle to retail sales is charging $29.95 annually for VIP customer membership. The MLM industry standard is no-fee for preferred customers, in exchange for a discounted monthly order commitment.
Charging $29.95 puts Living R3 in a “preffered customer” marketing disadvantage.
The good news is, absent these compensation plan changes, finding out whether you’re joining a pyramid scheme or not is easy.
Living R3 requires affiliates to generate 100 PV a month. Ask your potential upline for evidence they’ve consistently been generating 100 PV a month or more over the past few months.
Their own consumption to hit 100 PV a month is fine, provided there’s at least as much retail order activity going on.
No or comparatively insignificant retail sales volume? That Living R3 affiliate is running their business as a pyramid scheme.
This will see you sign up, place a monthly order and focus on recruiting others who do the same. Not possible with those aforementioned compensation plan changes, but unfortunately possible with Living R3 at time of publication.
Definitely do your homework on this one and approach with caution.
