Summer Stock Up - 2022


Summer Stock Up

Summer is just around the corner, and we are ready for long days of warmth and sunshine and lower schedules!

We're stocking up on these seasonal favorites to make the most of this coming season and to be prepared for the inevitable bumps in the road.


Travel Favorites

Whether you're going on a plane, train, or automobile or having a staycation, here are the travel necessities we're stocking up on now (before they sell out!)

Enjoy the outdoors without pesky pests. This insect repellant is a crowd favorite because it works, it's safe for the whole family (no DEET here) and it super convenient. It comes as a liquid and as wipes.

Protect tender skin with the power of plants with YL's Mineral Sunscreen. Safe and effective for you and safe for reefs as well. A little goes a long way with this water-resistant formula, so its definitely a staple in our household.

These predicted roller blends are perfect for stashing in your suitcase, purse, backpack or first aid kit! Owie is great for owes, TummyGize is everyone's tummy BFF, SniffleEase is great for sniffles, and SleepyIze is perfect for winding down at the end of the day.


Trust us when we say these wipes are life savers! Use to quickly clean hands, soothe skin post-sun, even remove sand from the skin. You can also use them as makeup remover wipes and for their obvious, original intent. Soft and soothing on the skin but effective.



Thieves Spray is our go-to for cleaning ALL-THE-THINGS on the go - hands, high chairs, steering wheels, porta potties, even fruit in a pinch. We also keep a large bottle of Thieves Hand Sanitizer in each vehicle for easy use. Goodbye germs!

Wellness Favorites

The lazy days of summer have us relaxing more for sure, but one thing we're not relaxing on is our true self care and wellness routines! Even on vacation, we make sure to take our daily supplements and oils with us. Here is what we always pack:

NingXia Red is a powerful antioxidant supplement that has some amazing health benefits. Basically it is an antioxidant POWERHOUSE. This daily drink has so many health benefits, it's hard to list them in one place! Freeze the packets for a slushy-like afternoon treat, add them to smoothies or even make your own healthy popsicles.

It is easy for us to get dehydrated in the summertime. Sunshine, heat, and chlorine can quickly deplete our systems, and one way we love to combat that with electrolyte drops. Whether you choose Lavender Lemonade or Grapefruit Bergamot, these little drops are a tasty way to make sure you and yours stay hydrated this system.



Super B is one supplement we never want to be without. This B complex is an everyday must have all year round to help support healthy energy levels and decrease stress.

Skincare Needs

Summer means more time outside, which can leave everyone's skin needing a little extra TLC. Here are a few favorites we keep on hand to help!

Peppermint, Lavender, & Tea Tree essential oils
These three oils are wonderful for soothing skin after seeing a bit too much sun. Whip up a quick 'After Sun' balm, spray or roller with this trio and/or add it to Epsom salts to reduce the sting of tender skin.


Our go-to balm for any and every skin need! From wind or sun-chapped lips and cheeks to soothing owes to using as an ultra-hydrating moisturizer, this rose infused balm is a must have for every season.


The name of this product stays it all! Lavaderm is SO soothing to tender skin of any kind - from sunburns, bug bites, rug or trampoline burns - really anything that needs soothing. This spray combines Lavender and Peppermint with carrier oils that spray directly on skin - no rubbing required!


Grab this summery body butter to keep skin soft, smooth and hydrated all season long. Its great for everyday use and extra lovely after some time in the sunshine. Not a fan of coconut and lime? Try the Lushious Lemon Hand & Body Lotion!

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.

Just a Drop of SleepEssence

  • Formulated with Lavender and Valerian essential oils, which help promote restful sleep
  • Supports the body's natural sleep rhythm with melatonin
  • Promotes overall well-being when used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle
  • 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. Getting enough sleep can help reduce inflammation, make it easier to maintain a healthy weight, and improve everything from mental health to memory. 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.

Young Living Oil-Infused Supplements - Ditch and Switch April 2021


Ditch & Switch generic supplements for

OIL-INFUSED SUPPLEMENTS


As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products and create healthy habits for ourselves and families! 

Join us as we make a simple swap with a big impact. Ditch generic drug store supplements for the essential oil-infused supplements from Young Living.

One of the biggest changes you can make for overall health and longevity is with your supplement routine. Supplements that are oil infused with essential oils are HUGE win.

Essential oils improve absorption, assimilation within the body and utilization of all the amazing vitamins, minerals and herbs that we are ingesting with supplements. So ditch the drugstore varieties for oil-infused one.


Why we Love YL Supplements

  • Pure, clean, sustainability sourced ingredients
  • No unnecessary fillers, colors, dyes, parabens or artificial flavors
  • Infused with essential oils to enhance absorption, improve assimilation within the body and allow for more effective results
  • Convenient to order with subscription options
  • Options for daily health and target needs
  • Formulations well are studied and effective

YL Supplements vs. Conventional Options

When it comes to supplements, most of what you'll find over the pharmacy county or at the health food stores is subpar.

There are some formulation that have decent ingredients, but the majority is lacking. Even the natural ones! So many companies use fillers that exacerbate allergies or cause inflammation, and that doesn't even account for artificial colors and flavors.

Young Living supplements are different. Not only are they sustainably sourced, they include only what is necessary for the formulation. They are also infused with essential oils, which improve absorption and assimilation. This means that our bodies take in more of the vitamins and minerals and are able to utilize it much easier. This is a huge win! We have products that work better, so we are truly investing in our health on a daily basis.

Young living has a substitute for just about any vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplement you're taking!

Not sure were to start? Grab these everyday favorites:

  • Master Formula - Read more on January 2021 blog
    This convenient packet is your multivitamin and is great for any adult. You can use this as a prenatal option as well!
  • Super C Chewable
    Vitamin C is an incredible health too - immune and respiratory support, antioxidants and anti-aging. Ditch the drugstore pills and sugary packets for these whole-food Super C Chewables.
  • Super Vitamin D - Supplement Spotlight December 2021
    Vitamin D is an essential supplement. Research has shown that Vitamin D is a key player in immune, respiratory, mental and emotional health, and that basically everyone is deficient. Adding it to your daily routine is a great habit.
  • Super B Tablets - Supplement Spotlight April 2021
    B vitamins are responsible for energy, growth, longevity, and mental clarity, among other important actions. They are also not stored in the body, making daily supplementation key. Super B includes all the health-supporting B vitamins that your body craves.
  • Life 9Supplement Spotlight March 2021
    Digestive health is critical to overall health. More and more research show us that a happy, diverse set of bacterial in the gut is a cornerstone of overall health and longevity, and Live 9 is a great choice for promoting this!

Join us this month as we make a big impact on our health by switching out our daily supplements to YL's essential oil-infused versions!

Cheat Sheet for Healthy Hormones

Hormone Health Cheat Sheet

Not sure where to start when it comes to supporting healthy hormones? Check out these suggestions and learn more with the individual product spotlight linked below.

The endocrine system is a network of glands throughout the body that makes hormones - insulin, thyroid hormone, cortisol, sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone) and more. The hormones made the endocrine system are responsible for almost every cell, organ, and function in the body.

Adrenal, thyroid and sex hormones work in a cycle together. Thyroid hormone affects sex hormones. Adrenal hormones affect thyroid hormones. Sex hormones affect adrenal hormones. So when one part of the cycle isout of balance, there are consequences for the entire endocrine system.

Thyroid & Adrenals
The adrenal glands are located just above the kidneys and are know for the 'flight or fight' response. This response is natural and necessary. It protects us when in high stress situation (like running from a lion), but the constant stress of daily life often keeps our adrenals on overdrive.

The thyroid gland perfumes a myriad of tasks in the body. It regulates metabolism, energy, body temperature, and hormone production which impacts just about every other body system in some way. Thyroid support is always important, but it is especially so for women aged 25-45 and before/during/after pregnancy.

Thyroid - try ThyrominNingxia Red, and EndoFlex

Sex Hormones
Estrogen, progesterone and testosterone play a huge role in our overall health - everything from reproduction to muscle tone to mood to energy levels. Chronic stress, improper nutrition, low Vitamin D levels, and unhealthy gut balance and yeast overgrowth can all negatively affect estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.

Menstrual Cycle
When estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are out of balance, it can cause some pretty uncomfortable symptoms during the monthly cycle. Other factors for painful periods include overall inflammation and even dietary sensitives. This topic is multifactorial, but here are a few options when it comes to balancing and supporting menstrual cycles.

For more on these products, check out these these blog posts linked below.
And make up this DIY Stress Recovery Serum to support your hormones and emotions this month and beyond.

DetoxZyme Supplement Spotlight - March 2021

Supplement Spotlight

DetoxZyme


We all heard how important healthy digestion is to overall health, so we want to support it well. Much like a car runs better with proper fuel and maintenance, our bodies need high quality fuel and daily support. One way we can do that is with enzymes like DetoxZyme. 


Just a Dose of DetoxZyme

  • Promotes detoxification and cleansing
  • Vegetarian-friendly formula
  • Fast acting enzymes help break down after eating to support digestion
  • Helps provide relief of occasional symptoms such as fullness, pressure, bloating, gas, pain and/or minor cramping
  • Works synergistically with a cleansing program
DetoxZyme is a blend of enzymes and essential oils formulated to promote detoxification and cleansing, which helps support normal digestive function. DetoxZyme contains powerful essential oils like cumin, anise, and fennel that work synergistically with fast acting, powerful enzymes to help break down food and assimilate nutrients after eating and help mitigate symptoms of digestive upset.

This formulation works to complete the digestive process, improve mineral absorption from food, improve gallbladder and liver function, prevent yeast overgrowth and detoxify the gastrointestinal tract.

  • Amylase - a powerful starch-digesting enzyme that prevents fermentation of starches in the digestive system
  • Invertase - splits the sugar sucrose into glucose and fructose
  • Protease 4.5 - protein-digesting enzymes that are stable in the varying pH conditions of the digestive tract, also fight off bacteria, yeast and parasites in the intestines
  • Glucoamylase - enzyme that breaks down starches into glucose
  • Bromelain - proteolytic enzyme found in pineapple that supports carbohydrate digestion
  • Phytase - an enzyme necessary for breaking down the minerals such as zinc, magnesium and potassium found in grains, nuts, seeds, and other foods
  • Lipase - a fat-dissolving enzyme that promotes excretion of toxins
DetoxZyme & Emotions

When our bodies are overloaded with toxins or weighed down from constantly filtering everything we throw at it, things become sluggish. This not only affects our physical health; it takes a toll on us emotionally as well. This often manifests as feeling lethargic, sluggish, unmotivated or simply down. Cleansing and detoxing our systems can have profound effects on our emotional health as well.

How To Use:

Take 2 capsules 3 times daily between meals or as needed

Join us this month as we use DetoxZyme capsules to support our physical and emotional health and wellness.

Clary Sage Oil Spotlight - Feb 2022

Clary Sage Essential Oil

Oil Spotlight for February

Clary Sage is a distinctly feminine oil that we love for everything from supporting healthy skin to wearing as a personal fragrance to supporting healthy hormone levels. This oil is a great choice for women for many reasons.


Each month we focus on using an oil every day 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 February.

Just a Drop of Clary Sage...

  • Has a calming, soothing, lightly floral aroma
  • Promotes the appearance of healthy-looking skin and hair
  • Helps soothe minor skin irritations
  • Geared toward women for its hormone support properties
  • Supports healthy estrogen levels through naturally occurring phytoestrogens
  • Makes a lovely perfume
Clary Sage essential oil is a main component of Dragon Time oil blend, a blend formulated for supporting normal, healthy emotions during the female monthly cycle. Clary Sage contains the naturally occurring constituent linalyl acetate, which contributes to its calming and soothing herbal aroma. Applied topically, Clary Sage essential oil promotes the appearance of healthy-looking skin, making this an oil every woman wants to have in her arsenal.

Background

Native to the Mediterranean region, Clary Sage is a perennial shrub in the Salvia family. Traditionally used as a medicinal herb, it typically grows 3-4 feet tall and produces showy purple blooms that attract pollinators. Young Living's Clary Sage essential oil is steam distilled from the flowering parts of the plant at the Mona, UT and Simiane-la-Rotonde, France farms.

Key Constituents

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

  • Linalyl acetate - a potent antioxidant that promotes circulatory health and allows the body to support healing from ischemic injury (injury as a result of poor blood flow).
  • Linalool - supports stress relief and uplifts the mood, helps support the body during times of illness and stress.
Clary Sage & Emotions

Clary Sage can be a powerful tool for female emotions! Since we know of its estrogen-support properties this makes a lot of sense. When our hormones are unbalanced, it takes a toll on our health - both physical and emotional. Clary Sage is grounding and comforting and evokes feelings of feminine energy. It pairs well with citrus oils like Bergamot and Tangerine as well as Patchouli and Lavender.

Clary Sage is also a component in the supplement CortiStop because of its ability to balance hormones and stop the stress response. Stress wreaks havoc on our health, so any way we can find to support stress reduction is key! Pair daily use and inhalation of Clary Sage with meditation, journaling, affirmations and prayer.

Clary Sage & Pregnancy

Because Clary Sage contains phytoestrogens, it can increase fertility in some women. It can also be used to support labor! Because of this, some women choose to avoid excess use of Clary Sage during pregnancy until labor is desired.

Clary Sage is found in:

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.

As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products and create healthy habits for ourselves and families! 

Join us this month as we pursue healthy habits and switch out our meal replacements for a cleaner option - Pure Protein Complete.

This delicious protein powder comes in both Vanilla Spice and Chocolate flavors (and they both taste amazing!) and is such a great addition to anyone's fitness regimen. Pure Protein Complete combines a blend of 5 different proteins, amino acids, and ancient pea and apple extract that will leave you full and satisfied. It is high in protein, supports the muscular system, supports the body in building lean muscle, supports energy levels, and is a great post-workout muscle recovery drink.

Why we Love It

  • An excellent source of protein (25 grams)
  • Formulated with a variety of amino acids to support muscle mass
  • Provides protein metabolism support
  • Supports ATP production, the energy currency of the body
  • Helps build lean muscle
  • rBGH-Free Whey and soy-Free
  • Available in Chocolate and Vanilla Spice flavors
  • Versatile enough for smoothies, baking and more!
Pure Protein Complete is a staple in our homes because of its super clean, proprietary five protein blend! It contains amino acids, and ancient pea and apple extract that allows the body to absorb and utilize the nutrients in the powder much more easily.

The foundation of the protein blend is cow and goat whey, pea protein, egg white protein, and organic help seed protein. This specific mix of sources allow for a full range of amino acids, including: D-aspartic acid, Threonine, L-serine, Glutamic acid, Glycine, Alanine, Valine, Methionine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Tyrosine, Phenylalanine, Lysine, Histidine, Arginine, Proline, Hydroxyproline, Cystine, Tryptophan, and Cysteine.

The formula also includes a unique enzyme blend, so when paired with these amino acids, this protein supplement helps support overall protein utilization in the body. And this is of utmost importance when we are focusing on fitness routines and muscle building.

Ancient pea and apple extract, and a powerful B-Vitamin blend are the icing on the cake. Together they support ATP production, the energy currency of the body, which is definitely something we want all year round.

Why Make the Switch

Unfortunately, the majority of protein powders contain ingredients that we don't really want to be consuming. Some contain quite a lot of added sugar (as much as 23 grams per scoop), which can cause an unhealthy spike in blood sugar.

Others contain heavy metals and toxins. In fact, in a study by the Clean Label Project, 134 products were screened for 130 types of toxins. The study found that many protein powders contain heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury), bisphenol-A (BPA, which is used to make plastic), pesticides, or other contaminants with links to cancel and other health conditions. Some toxins were present in significant quantities. For example, one protein powder contained 25 times the allowed limit of BPA.

These are the last things we want to be worried about, especially when we are focusing on creating healthy habits! Because of Young Living's Seed to Seal standard, we can rest assured that the ingredients used are not only clean, they are ethically sourced and good for our bodies and overall health.

To Use Pure Protein Complete:
  • Add 2 scoops to 8 oz of cold water, rice milk, almond milk, or other milk. Then shake well or stir until smooth.
  • Try one of our favorite recipes below.
And if you're looking for something with more fiber and slight cleansing properties, another option would be Balance Complete.

Balance Complete is different from protein powders in that it is a nutritive energizer and a cleanser. It contains brown rice bran, barley grass, and extra virgin coconut oil, so it is high in fiber, protein, and minerals.

This super-food-based meal replacement contains NingXia wolfberry powder, brown rice bran, barely grass, extra virgin coconut oil, aloe vera, cinnamon powder, and Young Living's premium whey protein blend. Balance Complete is high in fiber, high in protein, and contains the good fats, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals needed for nutritionally complete meal replacement. It supplies an amazing 11 grams of fiber per serving, absorbs toxins and satisfies the appetite while balancing the body's essential requirements.

  • NingXia wolfberry fruit powder -  one of the highest known antioxidant nutrients that is wonderful for strengthening the immune system and promoting overall wellness, combating carcinogens.
  • Rice bran - rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidant; an excellent source of manganese, selenium and magnesium.
  • Barley grass powder - rich in minerals and antioxidants.
  • Cinnamon powder - super nutrient with amazing support for the immune system; antioxidant and is great for weight support
  • Calcium, Zinc, Chromium, Vitamin B, C, A, E and Biotin - all needed for our bodies to function properly and stay healthy.
To Use Balance Complete:
  • Add two scoops to 8-10 ounces of cold water or milk of your choice. Shake, stir or blend until smooth. For added flavor, add fruit or essential oils or substitute Balance Complete in the smoothie recipes below.

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.
