Mounting research shows that there is no magic bullet to treat heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, allergies, digestive disorders, headaches, fatigue, or any of the myriad problems we suffer from in the 21st century. But increasing evidence also shows us something else. It shows that food is the most powerful drug we have not just to prevent, but also treat, cure, and reverse most chronic illnesses. Food contains information that speaks to ou...r genes, not just calories for energy. What you eat programs your body with messages of health or illness. We are learning from research in the field of nutrigenomics, that food talks to our DNA switching on or off genes that lead to health or disease. What will you eat today?

SUPPLEMENTS! Do you take them? Vitamin D? Vitamin C? A multivitamin? Folic Acid? For this series going forward, I will be going over the supplements I use in my household, their ingredients and why we use them.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Everyone has a supplement that they love and take every day. But what made me a believer is the difference in absorption rate for these oil-infused supplements. A study was done with Multigreens, with and without essential oils in it. Without oils, your body's absorption rate is less than half of the supplement in 24 hours. With oils, it spikes to 86% in one hour, due to bioavailability. Essential oils are like little tiny cars that molecularly carry the ingredients from supplements to every cell. The oils are a piggy back system to carry good things to your body to support its systems. The conclusion is that cells receive nutrients they had previously not been able to assimilate (taken from Essential Oil Desk Reference and book by Sarah Harnisch). If you're like most, you probably do not get enough greens in your diet. This has: bee pollen spirulina alfalfa kelp ginseng barley Rosemary, Lemon, Lemongrass, Melissa essential oils Who is impressed?

OILIVERSARY!! This month marks my 6th year OILIVERSARY since I said YES! The power of one yes is big! It has trickled to my children and to my friends and family until I realized a small yes made a massive difference. My journey with low-tox lifestyle and oils started years ago when I had babies; it made me become aware of what was in our products, our water, our home. I needed emotional support and hormonal support and baby support, and that yes trickled into all oth...er areas impacting each family member and a beautiful community. Because I was you, and I want to give you the chance to say yes every day too, I am here if you are wanting to learn more, or are feeling skeptical (thank you Casey Leigh for the verbiage). I love that more & more people are valuing their health & realizing we can choose better. Our tribe has over 3200 people doing this oily life with me, and we are GROWING! Encouraging people and linking arms with my tribe of fellow oilers is one of my extreme passions in life. There IS a place here for you! In celebration of my 6-year OILIVERSARY, I will be giving away 2 free diffusers!! Watch for upcoming information about how to win them by transfer-buying to an ethical company that makes products without the use of harsh chemicals so you can show results in your health. . . . #setgoalsandcrushthem #nolimits #mompreneur #mlmpositivity #empoweringwomen #upliftingwomen #motherhoodjourney #beproud #wellnessjourney #healthandwellness #healthandwellnessjourney #essentialoils #findyourtribe #findyourtribeandlovethemhard #holisticwellness #ylcommunity #womeninbusiness #womeninbiz #girlboss #wifiandadream #jointheteam #beyourownboss #bossmom #girlpreneur #essentialoilfamily See more

Conjuring up festive feelings with a drop of Peppermint essential oil in my coffee. Peppermint triggers a sensation of fullness after meals and helps soothe di...gestion. Alan Hirsch, MD, studied peppermint's ability to directly the brain's satiety center (Essential Oils Desk Reference, sixth edition, p. 147), which is a great way to avoid bingeing at this time of year. I also add 2 tsp of MCT oils to feed the grey matter in my brain; healthy fats for the win!

Vitamin D has a huge impact on the health and function of your cells. Among its many functions, vitamin D reduces cellular growth (which promotes cancer) and improves cell differentiation (which puts cells into an anti-cancer state). But what’s even more fascinating is how vitamin D regulates and controls genes. When we don’t get enough it impacts every area of our biology, because it affects the way our cells and genes function. Your body makes vitamin D when it’s exp...osed to sunlight. The problem is that most of us aren’t exposed to enough sunlight or eating enough of the few natural dietary sources of vitamin D. The good news is that supplementing with vitamin D3 can be an effective way to reverse a vitamin D deficiency. However, it is important to test your vitamin D levels to assess your personalized needs before starting any supplementation. It is best to get your levels of 25-OH vitamin D checked for accurate dosing. Blood levels should be above 30 ng/ml, however, optimal levels are probably closer to 50 ng/ml for most. Many need 5,000 IU or more of vitamin D3 a day in the winter. Start with 2,000 IU for adults, 1,000 IU for children. Always work with your doctor before you start taking supplements. See more
