Fall has arrived and is in full swing. Everyone is out raking leaves, cleaning up the vegetable garden, putting garden furniture and outdoor equipment away. Fall is the perfect time to winterize your home before winter arrives. Just like draining the sprinklers and garden hoses, caulking windows and doors, and checking the furnace in preparation for winter, our bodies also require special maintenance this time of year too! Natural immunity develops through a subtle interaction between disease agents and the innate intelligence of the body. It’s time to also winterize our body too by giving it everything it needs to help run at peak performance. Here are some of the ways to do that. INNER DEFENSE Inner Defense uses potent essential oils including Oregano, Thyme, and Thieves to reinforce systemic defenses, promote healthy respiratory function, and offer immune support.

Come Oil with Me is an invitation to join me in a weekly challenge. We’ll learn all about one Young Living oil or blend, one week at a time.   Essential oils are often referred to as “natures living energy”. They are called that for good reason because they can help support and maintain the body, mind and spirit in awesome and amazing ways. At the 2016 Live Your Passion Grand Convention, Gary Young, the founder of Young Living, gave each of us a challenge… to focus on one single oil or blend a week. To learn all about it, to research it, to study it, and most importantly to USE it and experience its benefits first hand… each and every day, for an entire week. And do that for a year. Imagine what that means. Potentially it means that at the end of one year, we would have first … Continue reading →

ENZYMES The Spark of Life

Comments Off on ENZYMES The Spark of Life

Enzymes are the spark of life. Without enzymes life wouldn’t exist. So, what are they actually good for? My answer – absolutely everything! Think of enzymes as a “spark plug” or the catalyst that initiates all the processes that happen within the human body. Having plenty of digestive enzymes is one of the keys to obtaining optimal health. Every chemical reaction that takes place within the human body requires them. Without enzymes, no mineral, vitamin, or hormone can do its work. Enzymes are quite literally… the substances that make life possible! They are needed to digest food, run the heart, kidneys, liver, and lungs, and yes, even to think!   Focusing on digestive enzymes can be a game changer, so let’s dive in. You are what you eat, right? WRONG!!! I’m sure you’ve heard of the old adage “You are what you eat!”, right? Well, in actuality, you aren’t JUST … Continue reading →

Exposing Sugar’s Dirty Little Secrets

Comments Off on Exposing Sugar’s Dirty Little Secrets

Reducing sugar and highly processed foods, from your diet, could change your life.- Jody Stanislaw   It’s time to expose sugar’s dirty little secrets. It’s a silent killer and its devastating effects are creating more deaths than automobile accidents. Did you know that in animal studies they found that sugar is more addictive than cocaine? One study done on rats showed that chronic sugar consumption creates as much damage to the brain as abuse done in childhood. There is growing scientific consensus that one of the most common types of sugar, fructose, can be toxic to the liver, just like alcohol. Data from animal and human studies implicate added sugars (eg, sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup) are responsible in the development of fatty liver disease and its consequences. Added fructose in particular, as a component of added sugars, may pose the greatest risk for fatty liver disease. According to Dr. … Continue reading →

Create An Aromatically Safe Home

just breathe CLARITY THIEVES DIGIZE

Instead of using toxic air fresheners and scented candles, begin to create an aromatically safe home. I diffuse genuine, premium-grade essential oils, not to be confused with the cheap chemical-laden synthetic versions found at your local store. Most of the time I do so with a purpose. This means I don’t just diffuse essential oils to make our home smell good. I diffuse essential oils because of their limitless potential and beneficial value. Diffusing creates a healthy ionized room, can neutralize (not mask) odors, provide an uplifting environment and help elevate moods, force dust to the floor, provide a calming environment to support a better nights sleep, support better focus, and even promote better energy for those occasional afternoon slumps, and so much more. For instance, today, I have lots of mental work to do so I’ve got my diffuser on my desk diffusing CLARITY™ essential oil. Clarity™ blends Basil, Rosemary, Peppermint, … Continue reading →

With Every Crisis Comes Opportunity!

Comments Off on With Every Crisis Comes Opportunity!

Life is filled with trials and tribulations. Both physical and spiritual… and oftentimes the two are intrinsically linked. No one escapes them. It’s just a natural part of life but a very important part. With every crisis comes opportunity. The opportunity for us to allow each crisis to open new doors, to step outside our comfort zone, to allow us to grow as we open ourselves up to learn the lesson each one is trying to teach us. From my experience its within these crisis’, these trials and tribulations, that we experience the most growth… but only if we let it. Have you ever been in the middle of a crisis and had the experience of something not sounding right or feeling right, and it stirred up an uneasiness within your spirit? Have you learned to listen to your gut, to the silent prompting in your spirit? This “gut feeling”, … Continue reading →
