SleepEssence Supplement Spotlight - May 2022

SleepEssence

Supplement Spotlight



SleepEssence is a wonderful supplement for helping the body relax into its natural, restful sleep rhythm. It contains many sleep-supporting essential oils as well as melatonin to help you fall asleep and sleep well.

  • Formulated with Lavender and Valerian essential oils, which help promote restful sleep

  • Can be used to help promote rest whenever you need it
Sleep is a critical part of your health, both everyday wellness and when acute needs arise.

Our bodies actually use sleep to repair cellular damage, fight off germs, to balance hormone levels, and reduce inflammation. Sleep is incredibly important!

Sleep Essence is a great way to support sleep, especially if used alongside diffusing and applying oils. The ingredients in SleepEssence help the body relax physically and mentally to find restful sleep.

  • Lavender - calming and relaxing to the mind and body (Lavender Spotlight)
  • Vetiver - high in sesquiterpenes, constituent that help reduce stress on the body
  • Valerian - helps the body relax into sleep more quickly and may improve sleep quality
  • Tangerine - helps relax the mind and body (Tangerine Spotlight)
  • Rue - helps calm the nervous system
  • Melatonin - widely know for its ability to regulate circadian rhythm
SleepEssence can be used anytime you are needing help when it comes to sleep, but as we mentioned earlier, sleep is essential when the body is run down. The body utilizes sleep to perform many immune system tasks to decrease inflammation and produce cells to fight infection.

How to Use SleepEssence

  • Take 1-2 soft gels 30-60 minutes before bedtime

Join us this month and beyond as we focus on getting adequate, high quality sleep - a cornerstone of good health.

Golden Turmeric Supplement Spotlight - April 2022

Golden Turmeric

Supplement Spotlight


Turmeric is no stranger to the health scene. Young Living's Golden Turmeric powder supports the body's natural response to inflammation, immune response, joint health, mobility, and recovery after physical exertion because of it's incredible powerhouse ingredients - turmeric, Boswellia resin, and ginger work together to support the body's natural response to inflammation, immune response, joint health, mobility and recovery. 


Product at a Glance

  • Supports the body's natural response to inflammation, immune response, joint health, mobility, and recovery after physical exertion
  • 24 times more bioavailable than standard turmeric extract - your body absorbs the same amount of curcuminoids from just 300 mg of Golden Turmeric as it does from 1,926 mg of standard turmeric
  • Contains prebiotics to support healthy digestion as well as the gut-brain axis
  • Turmeric contains naturally occurring actives, such as curcuminoids, that help support joint mobility
  • Comes in a delicious Mango Rose flavor with Lime Vitality essential oil to contribute a light citrus taste
  • Is soy and milk free, formulated with gluten free ingredients, vegan friendly, and has no artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, or sweeteners
Background

Young Living's Golden Turmeric powder is an excellent source of curcuminoids, which help support the wellness properties in our bodies. Chronic, low-level inflammation plays a major role in almost every chronic, Western disease. Therefore, anything that can help fight chronic inflammation is of potential importance in preventing and even treating these diseases.

Key Constituents

Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essentialoils) that give them specific health-supporting properties.

Inflammation & Emotions
Everyone knows that chronic pain is exhausting both physically and emotionally. The same can be said of chronic inflammation as well. Chronic inflammation from injury, diet or other illnesses are like tiny fires within our bodies, and our systems are running to put out the fires all the time. Our emotions follow suit - running and running and running until we are at empty.

Modern science is researching this connection as well! Studies show that chronic stress is associated with increased inflammation, depression and negative emotions, attention changes and even dampened immune responses. Which is just even more evidence that we need to take small, daily actions to give our bodies all the things it needs to thrive. Learn more here: The Interlay Between Stress, Inflammation, and Emotional Attention: Relevance for Depression

Daily Habits with Golden Turmeric

  • Mix 1/2 teaspoons in 6-8 ounces of water, juice, or milk of choice once dialy
  • Drink at nighttime as part of your wind-down routine
  • Combine with water, ice, 1 drop Cardamon Vitality essential oil, and 2 ounces of NingXia Red for a delicious wellness drink
  • Add to a tree smoothie (it's delicious with the Vanilla Spice Protein Powder)
  • Steep Spiced Turmeric Vitality Tea and add 1/2 tsp of Golden Turmeric for a cozy nighttime drink
  • Start your day with a Golden Milk Latte (full recipe here)

Join us this month as we enjoy Golden Turmeric powder to support our physical and emotional health and wellness.

ICP Daily Supplement Spotlight - Jan 2022

ICP Daily

Supplement Spotlight

Health starts in the gut, so we want to do everything we can do to have a happy, healthy belly! And having a healthy gut isn't something just for those with gut disorders! It is for US ALL.


Taking daily steps to build, support, detoxify and balance the gut bacteria and intestinal lining is crucial, and one of our favorite, simple ways to do this is with ICP Daily. ICP Daily is a daily prebiotic and fiber drink that is both delicious and easy on the stomach.

Just a Dose of ICP Daily

ICP Daily supports gut health, aids in the body's natural detoxification process, and helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome - all things that are crucial to overall health. This gentle daily formula contains 6 grams of plant-based probiotics, 5 grams of soluble fiber, and a belly-supporting blend of essential oils - Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass and Rosemary.

Why we Love ICP Daily
  • Contains 6 grams of plant-based probiotics and 5 grams of soluble fiber
  • Aids in the body's natural detoxification process
  • Helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome
  • Easy on the stomach and well tolerated by those with digestion sensitivity
  • Promotes health postbiotics in the gut
  • Contains D. Gary Young's original ICP essential oil blend of Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass, and Rosemary essential oils
  • Helps you feel full longer
  • Supports cardiovascular health and immune systems
Gut Health and Overall Health

Did you know that over 75% of your immune system is in your gut? Sounds so wild, but it is true. This is yet another reason why a healthy, happy belly is of utmost importance!

If you're thinking that you don't feel bad, don't have a dietary sensitivities and feel like your gut is just fine, you could still be experiencing symptoms of gut inflammation and imbalance (dysbiosis). Lots of things in our daily life can result in tiny holes in the gut lining, creating a 'leaky gut.' This is a huge topic of medical study and one for another day, but leaky gut can cause a whole host of symptoms. Some less straightforward symptoms include migraines, brain fog, joint pain, eczema, acne, and emotional instability.

If this is you (and honestly even if it's not) I challenge you to spend a minimum of 40 days eating low-inflammatory foods, moving your body, taking Live 9 and ICP Daily and seeing how these things change! Bonus points for adding 2-4 ounces of NingXia Red each day.

ICP Daily contains powerful ingredients like agave inulin, guar gum, and prickly pear cactus extract that works synergistically (1+1=3) with Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass, and Rosemary essential oils to detoxify the gut and promote a healthy environment for bacterial balance. Pairing ICP Daily with Life 9 is ideal. ICP Daily creates a clean, happy home for the diverse bacteria of the Live 9 probiotic.

Plus, the ingredients in ICP Daily provide 6 grams of plant-based probiotics and 5 grams of soluble fiber. Probiotics and fiber are crucial for overall gut health and digestive mobility (ease of things moving through which is definitely what we want) as well as overall cardiovascular and immune system health.

Overall, ICP Daily is an ideal way to maintain a healthy gut microbiome, aid in the body's natural detoxification process, promote healthy postbiotics in the gut, and even help you feel full longer. If that's not a win, I don't know what is!

Daily Habits for Gut Health
  • Avoid inflammatory foods
  • Eat whole, nutrient dense foods
  • Move your body gently first thing in the morning (yoga, sun salutations, stretching)
  • Avoid commercial seed oils (canola oil, sunflower seed oil, etc.)
  • Take a high quality probiotic like Life 9
  • Eat prebiotic foods like garlic, onions, and NingXia wolfberries
  • Take ICP Daily
Gut Health and Emotional Health

It may seem strange to link gut health with emotions, but there is a big reason why the two things are connected.

We've all heard about serotonin, especially since it is one of our 'happy' hormones along with dopamine. Serotonin is the control switch for the body and brain's neurotransmitters. It helps us regulate our emotions from excited and energetic to calm and focused, so when levels are too low, problems can certainly arise.

A lot of serotonin is produced in the brain (this is what we hear about a lot with mental health needs), but a large amount is also produced in the digestive system. So much so that our gut is called the 'second brain.' In fact, almost 90% of the serotonin in our bodies is produced by the peripheral nervous system in the gut. WOW!

So many things impact the gut's ability to produce and maintain adequate levels of serotonin. A few of these include food sensitivities and allergies, acute and chronic illness, flora imbalances, yeast overgrowth, acute and chronic illness, conventional medication and antibiotic use. Some of these things are within our control to change and others we have to simply support and rebuild the gut after experiencing. Acute needs are definitely going to require work, but the real ticket to health is in daily actions.

Often when we crave foods high in sugar or white flour, we are innately trying to regulate low serotonin levels. These foods may give us a quick pick me up, but they also lead to a crash shortly after. But there are many ways we can support the gut (second brain, remember) daily to maintain adequate serotonin (among other important things). Adding ICP Daily to your daily wellness routine is a great way to support your gut.

How To Use ICP Daily

  • Mix 1 scoop in 8 ounces of water or juice daily.
  • Take in the morning 30 minutes before meals on an empty stomach.
  • Enjoy with water, NingXia Red, or juice..

Join us as we use ICP Daily this month and beyond to support our gut health, immune system and emotions as we start a new year.

Essentials for Dec 2021

December Essentials
What should I order?


The holidays are upon us and the year is winding down, so you will find us cozied up at home with those we love... diffusing oils, making DIYs, gathering with our family and friends.


We are here to give full presence to all that this season brings, and here are a few products we are using to enhance this beautiful time of year.


Vanilla Oleoresin - for a warm, welcoming aroma
Peppermint essential oil - for diffusing, baking, and merry making
NingXia Red Combo Pack - for healthy hearts and minds
Christmas Spirit essential oil blend - for all the cozy, festive feelings!
Winter Nights Foaming Hand Soap, 3 pack - for clean, soft, moisturized hands with a scent no store can match
Super Vitamin D - for immune, emotional, bone and muscle health

Vanilla Oleoresin

Vanilla is the quintessential warm, inviting scent, making it a wonderful addition to diffuser blends, DIYs, roller blends and even Thieves Household Cleaner. Young Living's Vanilla is not strictly an extract or an absolute, both of which contain monthly alcohol and do not blend well with essential oils. 


Noticing these flaws in mainstream vanilla extracts and absolutes, the D. Gary Young Research Institute worked to find a vanilla product that would meet the Seed to Seal quality commitment and blend well with essential oils. The result is a first-of-its-kind extraction method that yields a Vanilla oleoresin in fractioned coconut oil that diffuses and blends beautifully with essential oils.

Learn more about Vanilla oleoresin in December's Oil of the Month Spotlight post.

Peppermint Essential Oil

Bring the crisp, sweet scent of candy canes into your home with Peppermint essential oil. Peppermint is a natural cross between water mint and spearmint that has an uplifting, invigorating aroma that creates a focused, bright environment with diffused.

Peppermint is soothing when applied topically, making it great post workout or when your neck and shoulders fell tense. Peppermint Vitality essential oil has a minty, refreshing flavor that supports healthy digestion... and is a perfect addition to any holiday baking.

Note: Peppermint and Peppermint Vitality are the same essential oil.

Want to know more? April's Oil Spotlight blog post gives you all the details!
NingXia Red Antioxidant Drink
Combo Pack

Packets for you, bottles for gifting! Add a shot of NingXia Red to your routine to enjoy the benefits of this powerful, whole-body supplement. There are MANY reasons we love this wolfberry puree (see the list of blog posts for all the ways).

NingXia Red is packed with superfoods to support overall wellness - plum, aronia, cherry, blueberry, and pomegranate juices and extracts, pure vanilla extract and Lemon, Orange, Tangerine and Yuzu essential oils.

The benefits of NingXia Red include support for energy levels, normal cellular function, and whole-body and normal eye health. A daily shot of 2-4 ounce helps support overall wellness with powerful antioxidants.

Learn more about NingXia Red:
Christmas Spirit Essential Oil Blend

This blend of Cinnamon, Spruce and Orange is the most festive blend for the season. Christmas Spirit is a beautiful medley of three oils reminiscent of winter holidays.

Orange essential oil has a bright aroma that is believed to bring joy, peace, and happiness to those who possess it. Cinnamon Bark essential oil is the oil of wealth from he Orient. Black Spruce essential oil has an aromatic influence that brings a feeling of balance and grounding. Diffuse this oil all season long (and beyond!)

Super Vitamin D Supplement Spotlight - Dec 2021

Super Vitamin D

Supplement Spotlight

Vitamin D is one of those supplements that get a lot of hype, and for good reason - its estimated that between 40-70% of the US population is deficient in Vitamin D! And this vitamin is a powerhouse when it comes to our health. Immune, respiratory, bone and joint, emotions, autoimmune needs - all are supported with healthy Vitamin D levels.


Vitamin D is Important for:
  • Supporting healthy bones and  helping prevent osteoporosis
  • Regulating the absorption of calcium + Phosphorous (essential for health)
  • Faciliting normal immune function
  • Plays an important role in regulating mood and warding off depression
  • Reduces risk of other diseases
"The Vitamin D Council - a scientist-led group promoting Vitamin D deficiency awareness - suggests Vitamin D treatment might be found helpful in treating or preventing autoimmune disease, chronic pain, depression, diabetes, heart diseases, high blood pressure, flu and osteoporosis. However, there have been no definitive clinical trials."
- WebMB

Vitamin D is made in the skin when the skin is exposed to UV-B rays in sunlight. Only a limited number of foods contain Vitamin D, so exposing the skin to sunlight is how we get 70-80% of the Vitamin D our body needs. Unfortunately, sunlight is not always a reliable source of Vitamin D. The season and geographic latitude, use of sunscreen, city smog, skin pigmentation, and a person's age are some of the factors that affect how much Vitamin D is produced in the skin through sunlight.

Why We Love Super Vitamin D

  • Plays a key function in respiratory health
  • Supports the body's respiratory immune system through its innate, adaptive defense mechanisms
  • Helps boos healthy immune systems
  • Supports mood and hormone regulation with Vitamin D and lemon balm
  • Helps support bone growth and healthy muscle
  • Support calcium balance and bone growth
  • Infused with Lemon Balm (Melissa) essential oil
Young Living's Super Vitamin D supports the immune and respiratory system with 250 percent of the daily value of Vitamin D. This highly absorbable, vegan-friendly tablet is made with lemon balm extract and Lime and Melissa premium essential oils, which help increase bioavailability of the Vitamin D and also support mood and hormone regulation.

Vitamin D and Bone Health

When it comes to healthy bones, Calcium is like the nutrient you think of first. But Vitamin D is just as important for keeping bones strong and preventing the bone disease osteoporosis. Vitamin D helps your intestines absorb calcium from the food you eat, so getting enough of both nutrients is an important part of making sure your bones are dense and strong.

Vitamin D and Emotional Health adapted from Eryn Jones

Healthy Vitamin D levels are crucial for emotional health! Having adequate levels of Vitamin D allows your brain to perform its 'executive' function such as reasoning, attention, critical thinking and flexibility. Much like the CEO of a successful company needs support from his or her team to have clear focus and decision making, your brain needs support from supplements, sleep, and nutrition to be able to perform well.

Vitamin D is essential for that!

Healthy Vitamin D levels have also been shown to lower the risk for seasonal blues, can support depressive mental health states and also assists in memory. The reason we are often happier and more at ease during warm months is because we naturally have higher Vitamin D levels from sun exposure. Since we can't always be in the sun and since we need higher levels than previously thought, supplementation is key.

Learn more here:
Achieving Optimal Vitamin D levels

Depending on who you ask, blood levels above 20 ng/mL or 30 ng/mL are considered "sufficient," and there are multiple factors affecting how much Vitamin D an individual may need. However, a generally recognized dosage would be 1.000-4.000 IU (25-100 micrograms) daily. This dose should be enough to ensure optimal blood levels in most people. Other considerations:

How To Use

  • Take 1-2 tablets daily with food
  • Place in mouth and allow to dissolve for 5-10 seconds, then chew for optimal results
  • Note: Each sublingual tablet contains 1.000 IU Vitamin D.

Join us as we use Super Vitamin D this month and beyond to support our immune system and emotions as we head into winter weather and the holiday season.

Want to know why we are ditching the wine for NingXia Red (besides all the health benefits)? How about a little wine background...

A few notes on Wine

Did you know that the only thing required to be on a wine label is the percentage of alcohol it contains? And even that doesn't have to be completely accurate. None of the fillers, additives or colorants used in the wine have to be disclosed.

Which sounds a little scary if we're being honest! Let's take a look at exactly what is in convention wines (yes, even the organic ones). You might be surprised.

Additives are added to wine to change the flavor, add coloring, increase sweetness anymore. And they aren't disclosed on the ingredients label either. Some commonly used additives (that are also approved by the FDA) include:
  • Sugars
  • Sulfites
  • Colorings like Mega Purple and Ultra Red
  • Tartaric acid
  • Yeast products
  • Food grade dry ice
  • Acetaldehyde
  • Albumen (egg white)
  • Milk products (pasteurized whole, skim, or half-and-half)
  • Silica gel (colloidal silicon dioxide)
  • Soy flour
  • Defoaming agents (polyoxyethylene 40 monosterarate, silicon dioxide, dimethylpoly-siloxane, sorbitan monosterarate, glyceryl mono-oleate and glyceryl dioleate)
  • The FDA has approved more than 70 additives that can be found in wine
These additives have to be below a certain level, but we know from our experience with household chemicals and cleaners that small exposures over time can be harmful as well. And this list doesn't even account for the pesticides sprayed the grapes themeslves.

With all the additives, the pesticides and even the naturally occurring constituents in grapes that come out during fermentation, it's no wonder wine (especially red wine) is the culprit for headaches. Tannins, sulfites and histamine are likely the instigators here. Tannins spur the release of the neurotransmitter serotonin which at high levels can cause headaches. Sulfites (yep, even in organic wines) can trigger headaches, asthma and allergic reactions. Histamine dilates blood vessels and can cause headaches that way. To make matters worse, some people lack the enzyme that helps metabolize histamine, which may make them more prone to wine headaches. Oy!

It's not all doom and gloom though. And we're not saying you can never have wine, but just like anything else we want to always be aware of what we are putting in our bodies.

Join us this month as we switch out conventional hostess gifts for the gift of health and NingXia Red.

Omegagize Supplement Spotlight - Nov 2021

OmegaGize

Supplement Spotlight

We have all heard how wonderful fish oil can be for our health, and many people are supplementing with fish oil. Unfortunately, it is incredibly difficult to find a high quality fish oil supplement that is free of mercury, sustainably sourced, and contains bioavailable Vitamin D.


Enter OmegaGize. Young Living's OmegaGize is an incredible, sustainably sourced fish oil supplement full of healthy Omegas, Vitamin D, and CoQ10 that supports heart, brain, eye and joint health.

Why We Love OmegaGize

  • Supports cardiovascular and skeletal health
  • Supports normal, healthy brain function
  • Supplies critical EPA and DHA nutrients
  • Supports normal immune response and antioxidant levels
  • Promotes normal eye, skin, and joint health
  • Infused with Clove, German Chamomile and Spearmint essential oils
  • Trifecta of Omega 3 fatty acids, Vitamin D and CoQ10
OmegaGize combines the power of three core daily supplements: Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin D3, and CoQ10 (ubiquinone) in one capsule. The formula is further enhanced with essential oils to create an incredible omega-3, DHA-rich fish oil supplement. When used daily, these ingredients work synergistically to support normal brain, heart, eye, and joint health as well as overall health and wellness.

OmegaGize Sourcing
Sadly, conventional fish oil supplements are full of synethic fillers, artificial colorants and flavors and are irresponsibly sourced. Some even contain levels of Mercury you don't want to be consuming. Not OmegaGize - Young Living's supplements are the purest, cleanest ones around.

The fish oil complex in OmegaGize is derived from some of the cleanest waters on the planet. OmegaGize capsules are rigorously tested to ensure a lack of these pollutants. Even the capsule of OmegaGize is ocean-derived ensuring the best quality and no fishy taste!

"The oil in OmegaGize is produced from carefully selected wild-caught Peruvian and Chilean coastal marine fish oil, one of the cleanest ocean areas in the world. Consisting mainly of anchovy, sardine, mackerel, skipjack, yellowfin, albacore and bigeye fish species. The fish oil used in OmegaGize is in triglycerides form (research shows this is the best form). All of the ingredients used in their products are heavily reviewed and inspected for the highest quality. Their vendors are audited and their ingredients are tested in-house to ensure they only offer the most beneficial products."

Omega-3 Fatty Acids
The human body can make most of the types of fats it needs from other fats or raw materials, but that isn't the case for omega-3 fatty acids. These are essential fats, meaning the body can't make them from scratch and must get them from outside sources. Even if your diet is high in wild-caught fish, you still need supplementation.

Omega 3s are an integral part of cell membranes throughout the body and affect the function of the cell receptors in these membranes. that means they are vital for all of our cellular functioning and are especially important during pregnancy. Omega 3s provide the starting point for making hormones that regulate blood clotting, contraction and relaxation of artery walls, and inflammation.

Research has shown that Omega 3s can 
  • Help prevent heart disease and stroke
  • Support a healthy heart and blood pressure
  • support healthy hormone levels (by aiding the body in keeping the cellular receptor sites (where hormones bind) repaired and in optional condition
  • Support auto-immune needs and conditions
  • Support the body's natural response to inflammation
  • support the body's natural response to joint pain
  • Assist the body in hormone productions associated with mood disorders
  • support to those with ADHD and focus needs
  • Support normal brain and nerve function which is important for older individual
Other Key Ingredients

Vitamin D - is an essential supplement for optimal brain health, hormone levels, bone and joint health, and overall well-being. Vitamin D also plays a role in our immunity and general wellness. It can be hard to get enough Vitamin D each day through sun exposure and food alone, so taking supplements can help. And since Vitamin D is fat-soluble, it need to be taken in the presence of fatty acids for proper absorption. OmegaGize has all that covered for us!

Research shows that Vitamin D
  • Supports your immunity
  • Helps regulate mood and fight depression
  • Helps support the body's natural response to inflammation in the body
  • Supports normal growth and development of bones and teeth
CoQ10 - is a powerful antioxidant that supports every cell in the body. We can think of CoQ10 like a battery for our cells, helping with the production and exchange of energy. It is a great addition to OmegaGize because the two work synergistically to improve the health benefits of both supplements.

CoQ10 helps to facilitate the production of ATP, the energy currency within the body. Every cell within the body utilizes ATP to perform its functions, so a lack of CoQ10 could cause a shortage of energy to every cell and system in the body. CoQ10 levels naturally decline with age, making supplementation a great health habit.

Several studies show that CoQ10
  • Helps protect the body from free radical damage
  • Produces energy your body needs for cell growth and maintenance
  • Boost the immune system
Clove essential oil - Cloves have long been used in eastern medicine for its health promoting properties. Clove essential oil is a powerful antioxidant that supports overall heart health

Spearmint essential oil - is high in carvone and limonene, spearmint is wonderful for digestive health and soothing intestinal discomfort.

German Chamomile essential oil - is a powerful antioxidant that supports healthy cholesterol levels, support liver and gallbladder health and supports the body's natural response to inflammation.

Vitamin E (as rice bran oil) - minimizes free radical damage within the body, promoting healthy cell function and overall health.

OmegaGize and Cardiovascular Health
We are always thinking about cholesterol from the diet. Most people don't realize that cholesterol in the body comes from two places: from the diet and from your internal production of cholesterol. Cholesterol is quite important to your body, because cholesterol is one of the major components of cell membranes. It's also the precursor for all the sex hormones. Its not all bad. Its just bad when there's too much and that depends on what kind of cholesterol is out of balance as well.

The primary way that omega-3 fatty acids support heart health is through their ability to reduce triglyceride levels. Triglycerides are a type of storage cholesterol in the body. When we eat, our bodies convert any unused calories into triglycerides and store the in fat cells. Later, hormones release the triglycerides for energy between meals. When triglycerides levels become too high, this can cause health problems, so most clinicians will monitor triglyceride levels along with other cholesterol levels. Omega-3 fatty acids are a simple may to help support healthy triglycerides levels. Omega-3 fatty acids may also modestly raise HDL ('good' or 'protective' cholesterol) levels.

The vast majority of Americans needing support for healthy cholesterol levels are taking a 'statin' prescription drug to lower cholesterol. Here is some food for though on that topic.

"At least 1 in 4 American adults over the age of 40 are currently taking a statin drug to lower their cholesterol. Soon that number is expected to reach 1 in 3. Statins work by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which is one of the facilitators of your body's production of cholesterol. But statins also impair production of CoQ10, and the resulting depletion can have very severe consequences.

"This is a very important topic," Shulman says. "Many who take statins have the side effects of muscle pain, fatigue and memory loss - to such a point that compliance becomes and issue; people don't want to be on statins anymore. It's been documented and recognized medically that these are real effects and that they're due to the statins. What's actually happening? The way a statin works is that it blocks your body's production of cholesterol."

Besides shutting down your body's ability to produce ubiquinone, statin drugs also shut down the conversion of Vitamin K1 to Vitamin K2, which is critically important in many body function, including heart health.

Imparing these three pathways - the production of cholesterol and CoQ10, and the Vitamin K1 to K2 conversion - has adverse effects on the production of energy and on cardiovascular health. And here's why: when you reduce your ubiquinone levels, the conversion of your food to energy becomes less efficient, which leads to lower energy, fatigue, and muscle pains.

And the longer you're on a statin drug, the more ubiquinone-starved your body becomes and the more severe the side effects become. Recently published papers have also detailed the cardiovascular repercussions of statins. As it turns out, they actually end up causing many of the diseases endpoints the drugs promised to prevent."

OmegaGize and Emotional Health

Several studies have shown the importance of omega-3 fatty acids when it comes to emotional health, especially in females and especially during pregnancy and the surrounding time frame. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for cell growth and development, and they assist with mental clarity - functions that are often 'off' during times of increased emotional need or stress.

Studies have also found that reduced omega-3 status may predispose individuals towards needing mood support as well as other conditions. As always, we want to do all we can to stay able the health line and support our bodies on a daily basis, so supplementing with OmegaGize is a great staring point! If you're needing extra support, we always recommend finding a healthcare provider that you love and trust.

Cinnamon Bark Oil Spotlight - Oct 2021


Cinnamon Bark

Oil Spotlight for October

Cinnamon Bark essential oil has a warm, spicy aroma that is inviting, especially during the Autumn Season.


Cinnamon Bark cleanses the air, creates a warming sensation on the skin when applied topically, and contains antioxidants that help support the immune system and general wellness. Overall, it is a staple essential oil for every household.

Each month we focus on using an oil everyday to help us in accomplishing our goals. Join us in choosing a method of application and simply getting this oil on and around you every day in October. My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use.

Cinnamon Bark AT A Glance

  • Has a warm, spicy, inviting aroma
  • Eliminates orders when used aromatically
  • creates a warming sensation when applied topically
  • Has the highest known ORAC value
  • Strong antioxidant
  • Part of the Botanical Family Lauraceae (Laurel family)
Native to Sri Lanka, Ceylon cinnamon, or true cinnamon, is a tall leafy bush that produces fragrant bark and leaves. A member of the laurel family, it is well know the world over as an aromatic culinary spice. Cinnamon Bark essential oil is steam distilled from the inner bark of the tree and has a warm, spicy aroma that evokes memories of the holidays when diffused.

Cinnamon Bark Vitality contains antioxidants and may provide immune and general wellness support when taken as a dietary supplement.

Note: Cinnamon Bark and Cinnamon Bark Vitality are the same essential oil, simply labeled differently to comply with FDA standards.

Key Constituents - Cinnamaldehyde


Cinnamon is loaded with powerful antioxidants, such as polyphenols. Antioxidants are a huge bolster to health since so much of our modern life can create oxidative stress in the body. In a study that compared the antioxidant activity of 26 spices, cinnamon wound up as the clear winner, even outranking "superfoods" like garlic and oregano!

Antioxidants also help support the body's response to inflammation, which plays a role in almost all chronic diseases. Cinnamon can also support healthy cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure levels - making it a wonderful tool for our health.

Check out these references:

AminoWise Supplement Spotlight - Sept 2021

AminoWise

Supplement Spotlight

AminoWise is our favorite supplement for the recovery after workout - think of this as a natural Gatorade! It is wolfberry lemonade-flavored drink mix that contains branched-chain amino acids, antioxidants, and minerals to provide the nutrients you need to optimize your workout recovery.

AminoWise enhances muscle performance, reduces fatigue, and supports muscles during and after exercise using a triple-targed formula that features branched-chain amino acids, premium essential oils, antioxidants, and minerals.

It tastes amazing and contains all the good stuff and none of the bad. Its formulated with branch chain amino acids and contains three key blends that combine to support your muscles during and after exercise, help fight fatigue, and enhance your recovery.

Why are Amino Acids Important?

Amino acids are classified as non-essential amino acids (you produce them on your own), conditionally essential amino acids (can usually be produced by your body), and essential amino acids (EAAs cannot be made by the body so you must get them through diet or supplementation).

Of the EAAs, three are superstars - the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) - leucine, isoleucine, and valine. BACCs make up about 35% of your muscle tissue.

Your ability to maintain, or even build lean body mass, or muscle, is based on the levels of protein synthesis and protein breakdown throughout the day. As we age, protein breakdown tends to accelerate. To slow the protein breakdown you can eat more high quality protein and supplement with EAAs.

Because your level of muscle mass plays a significant role in longevity, anything that increases protein synthesis or decreases protein breakdown can support your quality of life through your lifespan. Since amino acids play such an essential role in building and maintaining lean body mass, they must be a consistent part of a health diet. 

Here is a really informative article for a deeper dive!

NingXia Red Product Spotlight - Sept 2021

Lets Learn More

About NingXia Red!

It's no secret that we are crazy about NingXia Red, and here are all there reasons why. NingXia Red is a powerful antioxidant supplement drink made from wolberry puree, blueberry, plum, cherry, arena  and pomegranate juices, grape seed extract, Yuzu, Tangerine, Lemon and Orange essential oils, stevia and pure vanilla extract for flavor.


Besides the great taste, NingXia Red has some amazing health benefits. It has the highest known protection against the dangerous superoxide free radicals, as documented in the S-ORAC test conducted by Brunswick Laboratories.

Let's talk antioxidants. That word gets thrown around a lot as we discuss wellness, but what does it really mean? Antioxidants are substances or nutrients in our foods which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body. When our body cells use oxygen, they naturally produce free radicals (by-products), which can cause damage. Antioxidants act as "free radical scavengers" and hence prevent and repair damage done by these free radicals.

NingXia Red is rich in ellagic acid, polyphenols, flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals. In addition, it has 18 animo acids, 21 trace minerals, beta-carotene, and vitamins B1, B2, B3 and E. It is an excellent whole-food source of nutrients that gives energy and strength to the body without harmful stimulants. It also has an amazing low glycemic index of 11 that does not spike the blood sugar levels.

In Short, NingXia Red:
  • Supports a healthy immune system
  • Helps us be proactive against all the germs coming our way
  • Energy support
  • HUGE source of antioxidants
  • Support brain and join health
  • Support healthy hormone levels
  • Support healthy blood sugar levels
  • Can help curb sugar cravings
Why do we Love it?
Why are we so huge on our NingXia Red? Because, honestly, we're better people when we drink it. Sound a little far-fetch?

Think about it...
Do cars run better when fueled by the right gas? Why do we expect our bodies to run on second-rate, pressed, non-fuel? We get work out, our digestive systems get tired, our cells get dirty, and we need something we can assimilate quickly and easily to go to work. NingXia Red gives our bodies the boost we need.

Who should use NingXia Red? Everyone!
We love 2 ounces daily for kids and 2-4 ounces daily for adults.

Yummy Recipes:
NingXia Immune Booster - Fill a glass with the following
  • 1/3 full with organic apple juice (or water)
  • 1-2 oz NingXia Red
  • 1 tsp organic elderberry syrup (make your own and infuse it with essential oils!)
NingXia Spritzer - add to a glass and stir:
  • 1 can sparkling water in your favorite flavor
  • 1/3 to 1/2 bottle of kombucha
  • 2-4 oz NingXia Red
  • 1-2 drops citrus vitality oils (Lemon, Grapefruit, Orange, Lime, etc)

NingXia Lunchbox

Freeze your NingXia packets, then pack in your kid's lunchbox. Doubles as an ice pack! Add in a cute straw and its a fun and healthy lunchtime treat.

Join us as we boost our overall wellness and develop healthy daily habits with NingXia Red everyday this month.

KidScents KidPower Oil Spotlight - Aug 2021

KidScents KidPower

August's Oil Spotlight


Sometimes life can be big and scary for children, but they have the power to face all of life's big and little challenges! Sometimes they just need help discovering that power inside themselves.

KidPower is a unique, everyday blend formulated to help inspire feelings of confidence, courage, and positivity at home, at school, or on the playground...

But it's not just for kids! This blend is also amazing for adults and makes a wonderful perfume.

KidPower AT A Glance

  • Scent helps ease occasional feelings of doubt, fear, and worry
  • Aroma creates a comforting environment for times of daily stress, occasional anxiousness, or nervousness
  • Blended aroma helps support feelings of emotional balance, well-being and positivity
  • Pre-diluted for delicate skin
  • Recommended for children ages 2 and up

Background

Raising confident, courageous children can be a challenge, especially with all they experience in today's world. And I am grateful to have natural tools in our parenting toolkit, like the KidPower blend.

This blend was created specifically to help arm parents with a unique mix of essential oils designed to promote feelings of courage and confidence. This exclusive blend of some of Young Living's favorite and inspiring essential oils offers a sweet, empowering aroma that will be loved by both children and parents. Diffuse it daily and as needed for an aroma boost to support feelings of positivity and confidence.

Key Ingredients
  • Back Spruce - earthy and grounding to help balance the senses
  • Blue Tansy - has a floral aroma that is uplifting to the senses and calming to the Central Nervous System

  • Geranium - promotes peaceful, uplifted feelings
  • Ho Wood - provides a floral, relaxing aroma

  • Vanilla - provides a warm, sweet and comforting scent

Daily Habits with KidPower

  • Apply 2-4 drops directly to wrists, chest, neck or any other area. Dilution is not required, except for the most sensitive of skin, so you can add a roller fitment directly to the bottle or opt for the roll-on version.
  •  Create an application ritual, and get your kids involved! Grab your KidPower or KidPower Roll-on and place it beside their toothbrush, backpack, or homeschool bin - anywhere they will be able to find and easily use it daily. We love rolling on our oil and repeating a family Motta, a bible verse, or positive affirmation together.
  • Make a roller with KidPower, Vetiver, and Lavender for help calming over excited kids and promote calm, confident focus.
  • Make a simple linen spray with equal parts KidPower and Lavender, a splash of witch hazel and filtered water. Spray on sheets, loves, pajamas, or any other soft surface as desired.

DIFFUSE

Diffusing is a wonderful health habit! We have our diffuser going almost 24/7 and love to choose blends that are supportive of individual needs or systems. Try some of these great combinations and enjoy the soothing scent of KidPower with us this month!

Join us in using KidPower essential oil blend daily to create great daily habits that support our overall health - physical, mental, and emotional.
