SEASONS OF LIFE Finding a New Normal

Comments Off on SEASONS OF LIFE Finding a New Normal

SEASONS OF LIFE Finding a New Normal Life can get nuts sometimes and throw some pretty crazy curveballs can’t it? We all go through seasons of life where we may need to find a new normal. I know from personal experience as we’ve had several thrown at us, which started back in December of last year (2022). It was one thing after another for a few months and really knocked the wind out of my sails in my Young Living business for sure, as my time and attention was diverted away from YL to more pressing personal matters. That’s one of the things I love about Young Living… I can step back for awhile, as needed, and return when able. I’m happy to finally be getting back to work. But have to admit that, although I feel we’re almost over the “hump”, I need to make adjustments while I work … Continue reading →

Comments Off on Bio-Accumulation: Low Doses Matter

Exposure to low concentrations of common endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), each and every day leads to something called “bio-accumulation”. These low doses matter and over time can cause chronic health problems.   EDCs, also known as hormone disruptors, are chemicals that interfere with the natural hormones in our bodies and plague our modern world. We are all exposed to EDCs in our daily lives, for example EDC’s are found in some food packaging, pesticides, cleaning products, and cosmetics. Over 1,400 chemicals have been listed as potential endocrine disruptors. Decades of peer-reviewed research has shown significant associations between EDCs – even in low doses – and adverse health effects such as cancers, fertility problems, obesity and some learning disabilities. EDCs can have severe negative effects on the hormone system of even unborn babies. Hidden toxins in our homes can affect cognition, productivity, vitality, and yes, even our emotional state.

If your man isn’t a believer in essential oils yet, this may DO IT! For some, getting their man to try essential oils can be like pulling teeth. You can beg, plead and cajole all you want but they won’t budge. Can you relate to this? Well, this may be the answer you’ve been looking for. It’s definitely worth giving it a try.

Make Your Own Essential Oil Perfume

Comments Off on Make Your Own Essential Oil Perfume

Ditching conventional perfumes is possibly one of the most impactful things you can do for your health, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still smell great!   Instead of using your chemical-laden cologne or perfume, try whipping up your own, customized essential oil perfume with this simple recipe and change your scents with the seasons! Let me be clear. I’m talking about using authentic, unadulterated, premium-grade essential oils to make your own perfume, not just any brand of essential oil. Why? Because most essential oils in the market place are synthetic versions of the real thing and nothing more than sweet smelling scents at best. And like the fragrance industry, most essential oils are adulterated with toxic, man-made chemicals. You want to make sure that you’re using genuine, premium-grade essential oils and not the cheap, adulterated, chemical-laden imitations. So please don’t take the following information and attempt to use them … Continue reading →

Comments Off on Why Add Cran Water to Your Daily Routine?

Why add cran water to your daily routine? Because of the multiple health benefits it offers!!! Cran water may be just the thing you need, according to Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., C.N.S., to support a healthy lymphatic system amongst a host other benefits like elimination, balancing hormones, strengthening connective tissue, reducing cellulite and liver health. I first learned about the benefits of “cran water”, not to be confused with the sweet, sugar laden cran juices on grocery store shelves, from Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., C.N.S. She has been decades ahead of the pack when it comes to nutrition. Before there was low-carb, paleo, keto and all the other diet fads out there, there was the wisdom of Ann Louise Gittleman, truly “The First Lady of Nutrition”. I have followed her and her work for decades and have learned an incredible amount of information from her. I was doing some research … Continue reading →

Start the day off right!

Comments Off on Start the day off right!

One simple thing that you can do to support your body on a daily basis is to start the day off right with a cup of warm lemon water! Begin by drinking 8 oz. of warm water (not boiling) with the juice from one half a lemon mixed in before breakfast. CAUTION: Don’t put lemon juice in water that’s warmer than 140°F, as this can break down all of the goodness inside. This morning ritual helps thin bile to get it moving. It’s a great way to gently cleanse and detoxify your liver and kidneys*. NOTE: Lemon juice is acidic and can affect teeth enamel. After drinking lemon juice/water be sure to rinse your mouth with plain fresh water! Kick it up a notch with Lemon Vitality! Lemon Vitality essential oil is cold pressed from the rind of the fruit, making it alkaline and not acidic like lemon juice. Add … 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 →
