ImmuPro is one of our favorite ways to support the immune system! These chewable tablets contain Ningxia wolfberry (a potent antioxidant), zinc, and selenium along with melatonin for restorative rest when you aren't at your best. Grab these tablets when you feel your defenses going down - or anytime you want a little boost!MegaCal at a Glance
- Provides immune system support through a mixture of Ningxia wolfberry polysaccharides and a mushroom powder blend

- Contains chelated minerals, including zinc and selenium, which emerging science suggests are more easily absorbed by the body for proper immune function
- Delivers melatonin, which encourages restful sleep by promoting the body's natural sleep rhythm
- A convenient way to support the immune system and healthy sleep
Background
ImmuPro tablets are jam packed with some of the most powerful plant-powered immune stimulants around – the wolfberry, organic reishi, maitake, and agaricus blazei mushroom powders, zinc, and selenium. These ingredients deliver powerful antioxidant support to help reduce the damaging effects of oxidative stress from free radicals. Trace minerals like zinc, copper and selenium are essential for proper immune function. Plus, ImmuPro tablets include melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone that our bodies already produce that is great for immune support and sleep. Melatonin levels steadily decrease with age and in times of stress and is important as it encourages restful sleep by promoting the body's natural sleep rhythm.
Like all of Young Living's supplements, ImmuPro is enhanced with essential oils to help the body to assimilate and absorb the nutrients in the supplements, which is so amazing! ImmuPro contains Orange essential oil, which is rich in limonene. Limonene has been extensively studied for all of its health benefits from immune support to relaxation.
Key Ingredients
- NingXia Wolfberry - packed with antioxidants and micronutrients; helps repair and prevent oxidative damage from free radicals
- Reishi, Maitke, Mycelia mushroom powders - provide immune system support, help with memory, focus, brain health & also supports gut health (a key component of a healthy immune system!)
- Melatonin - a naturally occurring hormone that the body makes to promote restful sleep, which is essential for immune function - especially in the presence of immune invaders
- Orange essential oil - high in antioxidants and limonene, which support the immune system, bolster the natural immune response, and repair and prevent free radical damage
How to Use ImmuPro
- Take 1 chewable tablet once daily at bedtime.

Background
Everyone knows that calcium is essential for healthy bones and teeth, but did you know calcium works in tandem with other minerals? This means that taking calcium supplements alone is not enough. It is essential to have a balance of magnesium and other minerals including zinc and manganese for our bodies to absorb and utilize calcium!
Calcium and magnesium specifically work together to help maintain healthy bones, nerves and teeth. Symptoms of low magnesium and calcium may include low energy and fatigue as your body has trouble performing the minute cellular tasks without these minerals. In fact, magnesium alone activates over 300 enzymes or more in the body, and when you pair magnesium with calcium, they are vital healthy nerve and muscle functions and pathways.
Key Ingredients
An excerpt from the Supplement Field Guide by Dr. Ashley H. Cribb:
- Vitamin C - Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that is essential for growth and repair of tissues, cartilage, bones and teeth
- Calcium - Calcium assists in blood clotting, muscle contraction, cholesterol metabolism, healthy blood pressure and nerve transmission. It also helps keep tissues rigid, strong and flexible and is essential for healthy bones and teeth.
- Magnesium - Magnesium is used to regulate everything from protein synthesis to muscle and nerve function, glucose levels and blood pressure. It is required for energy production and the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and glutathione, the body's primary antioxidant.
- Zinc - Zinc is an essential trace element that helps strengthen the immune system is required for calcium uptake, and supports muscle health and energy levels.
- Manganese - Manganese is a cofactor required for enzyme activity in the body. It plays a role in amino acid, cholesterol, glucose, and carbohydrate metabolism, bone formation, and immune health.
- Lemon essential oil - Lemon is high in limonene, which strengthens the immune system, helps decongest the lymphatic system, and improves nutrient absorption.
How to use MegaCal
- Take 1 scoop (1 teaspoon) with 1 cup of water or juice daily. Do not exceed 3 servings daily. For best results, take 1 hour after a meal or taking medication or 1 hour before bedtime.

A Few Notes on Fragrance...
If you turn over your favorite good smelling products, you'll often find the word ‘fragrance' in the ingredients. But what is fragrance??
Fragrance chemicals are organic compounds that volatilize, or vaporize into the air, which is why we can smell them. They are added to household and personal care products to give them a scent or to mask the odor of other ingredients. Unfortunately, the volatile organic chemicals (VOCs - think the smell of paint or paint thinner) emitted by fragrance products can contribute to poor indoor air quality and are associated with a variety of adverse health effects. They are pretty much the last thing you want in a product for ambiance and aroma.
But it gets a little bit worse…. Did you know that to protect trade secrets, makers are allowed to withhold fragrance ingredients, so consumers can't rely on labels to know what hazards may lurk inside those festive scented candles (and room sprays.. and wall plugs… and perfumes.. and cosmetics…). This is called the “fragrance loophole” in federal labeling law. Although all other ingredients in your scented household and personal care products must be disclosed on the label by their specific name, this loophole means that ingredients added to provide a pleasant scent, or to mask a bad one, need only be listed under the generic term “fragrance.”
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) reports that, while many popular candles and room sprays contain trace amounts of natural essences, they also typically contain a dozen or more potentially hazardous synthetic chemicals, some of which are derived from petroleum. According to the EWG,
“Exposure to fragrance chemicals can cause headaches; eye, nose, and throat irritation; nausea; forgetfulness; loss of coordination; and other respiratory and/or neurotoxic symptoms. Many fragrance ingredients are respiratory irritants and sensitizers, which can trigger asthma attacks and aggravate sinus conditions.”
One example of a harmful ingredient (there are many!) when it comes to fragrance, is styrene, an ingredient added to a wide variety of consumer products. A 2011 finding by the National Toxicology Program (endorsed by the Academy's National Research Council) found that styrene is “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.”
We know only that styrene might be an ingredient in any given fragrance because the International Fragrance Association, an industry trade group, publishes an online “Transparency List” of ingredients that perfumers say they use in formulas for consumer products. Styrene is one of the 3,000-odd ingredients on the list.
When you add up the number of products in your bathroom cabinets and under your kitchen sink that contain “fragrance” – and may contain styrene – the total could be many exposures to a substance we now know is “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.”
THIS is why we are so passionate about ditching conventional products and switching to Young Living's clean, effective and safe options! Young Living NEVER uses fragrance in their products - they don't even need to because of the incredible essential oils. All the Young Living products are infused with the highest quality, therapeutic grade essential oils which not only make fragrance unnecessary, they actually improve our health!

The 2023 Back to School Handbook
It's hard to believe that school time is already here, but there is something soothing about the routine of backpacks and books and pencils, don't you think?! As always, we want to do everything we can to make this a healthy, happy school year. Here are a few of our best tips for doing just that!
Keeping Everyone Healthy
Thieves is our go-to germ-busting blend, and we love having it around us in multiple forms throughout the day! Thieves essential oil and roll-on, Thieves Waterless Hand Sanitizer and Spray, Thieves Foaming Hand Soap – give us all the Thieves!
- Thieves Roll-on - This powerhouse immune blend is your BFF! Roll it on feet, spine, over lymph nodes morning and evening.

Supplement Daily

- KidScents MightyVites is a perfect option for a wholesome daily vitamin for kids of all ages.
- Ningxia Red is our favorite supplement for ALL the things. It is an antioxidant and nutrient powerhouse that helps us sleep better, get and keep glowing skin, keep a healthy immune system, have healthy energy levels, and much much more.
Keeping Things Clean
Thieves Household Cleaner is our absolute favorite for green, plant-based cleaning. You know we use this in our homes, but did you know that a lot of teachers will use it in their classrooms as well?! So many people have gifted it along with a glass spray bottle to their kids' teachers to use daily in their classrooms. Spice it up with one of these recipes!School Days Thieves Cleaner

Staying Focused
Whether you're helping your little ones with homework, helping older kids stay focused in class, or needing some help yourself, these are some of our favorite oils for staying focused and alert!Why these? A study on essential oils and focus by Dr. Terry Friedmann found a 32% improvement in mental focus in children inhaling Vetiver, with similar results in the group inhaling Cedarwood.
They realized this is because of a specific constituent (a component of the oils). Vetiver and Cedarwood are extremely high in sesquiterpenes - molecules that deliver oxygen molecules to cells, just like hemoglobin does to the blood! More oxygen to the brain = better focus. These oils also help our brain waves calm from an overactive state to a focused one.
- Cedarwood 98% sesquiterpenes
- Vetiver 97% sesquiterpenes
- Spikenard 93% sesquiterpenes
- Sandalwood 90% sesquiterpenes
School Day Butterflies
One way to help calm those first day (or test day!) jitters is diffusing a calming, grounding & uplifting blend! Prep your diffuser the night before with this blend and have it going as you eat breakfast and make sure everything is ready to go before you head out the door.
This also makes a great roller! Multiply the drops by 5, add a carrier and go. Pop it in your child's backpack (or your own bag.. parents can feel those butterflies too!) or apply it to a diffuser bracelet to bring those calming vibes along with you!
Jittery Butterflies Blend

- 2 drops Tangerine

School Day Blends
These are some of our favorites for immune support, focus, calming, and soothing! You can also make these into roller blends! Strong Defenses is a favorite everyday wellness roller in our house.

Pumpkin Pie Play Dough
An activity for the kids with the option of being free of harmful dyes and ingredients and leaves the house and their little hands smelling AMAZING plus it has immune boosting properties! You can make this together, super easy, then let them play the crisp, fall day away!!
- 2 cups cornstarch
- 1 cup Kidscents Lotion
- 4 drops Cardamom
- 2 drops Orange
- 1 drop Cinnamon bark
- 1 drop Clove
- Mix all the ingredients together and let their imaginations run wild!
DIY Clay Leaf Tray
This DIY tray is a fun craft for the little ones to make and gift! Before the clay hardens, you can drop essential oils onto it. Choose stronger scents like Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Thieves or Peppermint to ensure more scent.
- Air dry clay
- Craft paper
- Rolling pin
- Craft paint (we like the metallic colors!)
- Paint brushes
- Modge Podge gloss or other sealer
- Various leaves from your yard
First, explore around your yard and gather your leaves! Cut out a piece of air dry clay, then roll it out about 1/2 inch thick, making sure your leaf will fit fully onto the clay. Then, press your leaf (vein side down) onto the clay. Make sure all parts of the leaf press in so that you get all the pretty nuances of the leaf!
Remove the leaf from the clay, and cut around the outline with a knife (have adults do this part), then remove the excess air dry clay from around your imprint. Go around the perimeter of the leaf and gently press the sides up and in to create a small edge. If adding oils, do so now.
Allow the clay to air dry and harden. We set ours on a baking rack so that both sides were exposed to air. After 24 hours they had hardened and were ready to paint!
Paint! Once the paint is dry, cover with a coat of Modge Podge gloss, then let that dry for 24 hours. After the coating is dry, have your children sign the back and write the year.
We hope you enjoy this Back to School Handbook.
As Always, I'm here to support you.

Cedarwood Spotlight
Cedarwood essential oil feels like a walk through a beautiful forest - warm, welcoming and calming to the senses. This oil is great for everything from focus to skincare to sleep and is one we always have on hand.
Just a Drop of Cedarwood
- Has a grounding, soothing, woodsy aroma
- Creates a tranquil environment when diffused
- Supports a calm, focused mental state
- Wonderful to help wind down at the end of the day
- Helps maintain the appearance of youthful skin and healthy-looking hair
- Can be used to help fend off outdoor annoyances (pairs well with Citronella!)
- Has natural skin-cleansing and deodorizing properties
- High in sesquiterpenes
Background
Young Living's Cedarwood essential oil is steam distilled from the bark of Cedrus atlantica, a close relative to the biblical Cedars of Lebanon, or Cedrus libani. Historically used by the ancient Egyptians in ceremonial rites, this variety of cedarwood is now grown primarily in Morocco.
Cedarwood was traditionally used for cleansing rituals, both physical and emotional. The Chinese, Sumerians and Egyptians used oil of cedarwood for embalming, disinfecting, hygienic, and other purposes more than 5,000 years ago and it was mentioned on a Babylonian tablet dated 1800 B.C. for multiple uses.
Key Constituents
All three of the key constituents found in Cedarwood are sesquiterpenes. In fact Cedarwood is 98% sesquiterpenes, the oil with the highest amount! Alpha-himachalene, Beta-himachalene, Gamma-himachalene: These compounds stimulate the limbic system of the brain, help lower brain waves from overly active to focused or from focused to meditative, help elevate the mood and calm the body.
Sesquiterpenes are a powerful tool! They help with oxygenating the pineal and pituitary glands, which are responsible for producing hormones related to sleep and stress. Sesquiterpenes also stimulate Beta Wave production in the brain, which helps with focus. When we are performing a difficult task or working on a problem, our brain increases the amount of beta waves.
Sesquiterpenes stimulate and support that natural production and therefore ability to focus. These compounds also help delete negative information in the cellular memory, making them extremely helpful tools when experiencing or processing trauma of any kind (chemical, medical, physical, emotional, relational).
Cedarwood & Focus
Because Cedarwood is extremely high in sesquiterpenes, it is a great tool for focus. Remember, sesquiterpenes are naturally occurring molecules in essential oils that deliver oxygen molecules to cells, just like hemoglobin does to the blood. Sesquiterpene compounds stimulate the limbic system of the brain, in turn elevating our mood and calming the body. A simple way to maximize this effect is to apply Cedarwood to the brainstem to support focus.
A study on essential oils and focus by Dr. Terry Friedmann found a 32% improvement in mental focus in children inhaling Vetiver, similar results in the Cedarwood group, and no changes in the Lavender group. The study was done using EGG testing of brain waves while administering the TOVA mental focus test. He had an unmedicated “low focus” group and a control group and administered the oils Vetiver, Cedarwood, and Lavender by having children inhale the oil deeply three times separately over the course of 30 days.
Other sesquiterpene rich oils:
- Vetiver 97%
- Spikenard 93%
- Sandalwood 90%
Cedarwood & Emotions
Some essential oils are especially good for opening up the emotional centers of our brain. This is an opening to address subconscious memories and unresolved feelings that affect our health! Cedarwood helps us deal with these repetitive program glitches in our nervous system while also calming the mind and making our thinking more productive. Like the sprawling evergreen tree that this oil comes from, Cedarwood's scent helps us to mentally and emotionally branch out, connecting and expanding our thoughts.

MultiGreens
Supplement Spotlight
MultiGreens is your daily salad in a bottle - spirulina, alfalfa sprouts, barley grass, bee pollen, eleuthero, Pacific kelp, and more. This nutrient-dense supplement combines invigorating greens and essential oils to support overall health, energy levels and general well-being. It features a purifying essential oil blend that includes the powerhouse essential oil Melissa.
MultiGreen at a Glance
- Provides energizing greens with revitalizing essential oils
- Supports overall health and well-being
- Formulated with Melissa essential oil
MultiGreens essentially fuels your system with lots of good stuff to help you feel amazing and increase vitality - much like eating a giant salad does! The nutrient-dense chlorophyll formula is designed to support the glandular, nervous, and circulatory systems, to help with energy levels and provide overall wellness support. MultiGreens is a natural, sustainable energy source for the body and is an excellent source of choline which is critical for energy production and also helps with brain fog!
Background
Did you know that there was a study done on MultiGreens that showed a huge increase in absorption versus conventional supplements? This means that when we take vitamins and supplements that are not infused with essential oils, we only absorb a little less than half of what we initially took. THIS (along with the incredibly high quality of Young Living supplements) is why we ditched conventional supplements for the Young Living ones!
When we take Young Living's oil-infused vitamins supplements, the absorption rate increases to 64% in the first half hour alone, and skyrockets to 86% within just one hour! This is because the essential oils help our bodies take in and use the vitamins and minerals in our supplements. Essential oils are able to work as little freight carriers to get the good stuff we are taking into our bloodstream and cells. Plus they all have health-benefiting properties of their own!
Key Ingredients
Each ingredient in the MultiGreens formulation was chosen for a specific reason:
- Bee Pollen - high in protein, low in fat, high in vitamins and minerals including potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins.
- Barley Grass - a powerful cleansing agent, antioxidant, high in minerals.
- Spirulina - a chlorophyll source that is high in magnesium, supports the immune system, liver, intestines and cardiovascular systems, some studies show a link to improved energy and metabolism.
- Choline - supports healthy cholesterol levels, liver health and memory support.
- Eleuthero root - supports energy levels, helps reduce stress, helps strengthen immune cell function and immune system function.
- Alfalfa leaf - high in chlorophyll and minerals which support overall wellbeing.
- Pacific Kelp - contains nutrients that are vital to healthy thyroid and hormone balance and function.
- Amino acids L-arginine, L-cysteine, and L-tyrosine - for healthy circulation, cellular metabolism, liver function and production of dopamine and serotonin.
- Rosemary essential oil - balances the endocrine system, supports healthy blood pressure levels.
- Lemon essential oil - high in the constituent limonene, supports immune system function, cleansing and supportive of digestion.
- Lemongrass essential oil - a highly cleansing oil, some studies may show antimicrobial activity, calming to the digestive system.
- Melissa essential oil - some studies may show anti-inflammatory activity, supports energy levels.
Products & Emotions
When our physical bodies are tired and run down, our emotions are quick to follow. And sometimes it is our emotions that trigger us to our physical health declining! Besides, what is more emotionally exhausting than not feeling great?
Also… hormones. And stress. Thyroid, cortisol and other essential hormones are always affected when we are tired, run down and stressed. Our energy levels bottom out, and we have no pep in our step.
So what do we do? We grab our oils, our supplements and get to work. Ideally we are already supporting our physical bodies as well as our emotions on a daily basis with baseline supplements like MultiGreens. Why? Because balancing our hormones and especially the thyroid is crucial for maintaining good energy levels. Pacific Kelp is in MultiGreen for just that purpose! Pacific kelp supports thyroid function and helps to keep our hormones balanced and in check - something we need daily and even more so when we are run down. Add in all the other powerful ingredients in this supplement, and it is definitely something that can support us both physically and emotionally!
MultiGreens is for...
- Anyone who needs to up iron levels
- Anyone who needs to clean the blood
- Anyone who needs minerals
- Anyone who wants to support the circulatory and nervous systems
- Anyone who doesn't eat a strong, whole-food, many leafy greens diet
- Anyone feeling weak and tired
Note: Does contain barley if you have a severe gluten sensitivity and bee pollen if severely allergic to bee products. Try using Mineral Essence instead for similar benefits.
How to Use
Take 3 capsules 2 times daily. Capsules may also be opened and sprinkled over food or in smoothies - a great option for when you want to give this to children!

A Few Notes on Fragrance...
If you turn over your favorite good smelling products, you'll often find the word ‘fragrance' in the ingredients. But what is fragrance??
Fragrance chemicals are organic compounds that volatilize, or vaporize into the air, which is why we can smell them. They are added to household and personal care products to give them a scent or to mask the odor of other ingredients. Unfortunately, the volatile organic chemicals (VOCs - think the smell of paint or paint thinner) emitted by fragrance products can contribute to poor indoor air quality and are associated with a variety of adverse health effects. They are pretty much the last thing you want in a product for ambiance and aroma.
But it gets a little bit worse…. Did you know that to protect trade secrets, makers are allowed to withhold fragrance ingredients, so consumers can't rely on labels to know what hazards may lurk inside those festive scented candles (and room sprays.. and wall plugs… and perfumes.. and cosmetics…). This is called the “fragrance loophole” in federal labeling law. Although all other ingredients in your scented household and personal care products must be disclosed on the label by their specific name, this loophole means that ingredients added to provide a pleasant scent, or to mask a bad one, need only be listed under the generic term “fragrance.”
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) reports that, while many popular candles and room sprays contain trace amounts of natural essences, they also typically contain a dozen or more potentially hazardous synthetic chemicals, some of which are derived from petroleum. According to the EWG,
“Exposure to fragrance chemicals can cause headaches; eye, nose, and throat irritation; nausea; forgetfulness; loss of coordination; and other respiratory and/or neurotoxic symptoms. Many fragrance ingredients are respiratory irritants and sensitizers, which can trigger asthma attacks and aggravate sinus conditions.”
One example of a harmful ingredient (there are many!) when it comes to fragrance, is styrene, an ingredient added to a wide variety of consumer products. A 2011 finding by the National Toxicology Program (endorsed by the Academy's National Research Council) found that styrene is “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.”
We know only that styrene might be an ingredient in any given fragrance because the International Fragrance Association, an industry trade group, publishes an online “Transparency List” of ingredients that perfumers say they use in formulas for consumer products. Styrene is one of the 3,000-odd ingredients on the list.
When you add up the number of products in your bathroom cabinets and under your kitchen sink that contain “fragrance” – and may contain styrene – the total could be many exposures to a substance we now know is “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.”
THIS is why we are so passionate about ditching conventional products and switching to Young Living's clean, effective and safe options! Young Living NEVER uses fragrance in their products - they don't even need to because of the incredible essential oils. All the Young Living products are infused with the highest quality, therapeutic grade essential oils which not only make fragrance unnecessary, they actually improve our health!

Daily Prebiotic Fiber
Supplement Spotlight
Health starts in the gut, so we want to do everything we can 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 gut bacteria and intestinal lining is crucial, and one of our favorite, simple ways to do this is with Daily Prebiotic Fiber! Daily Prebiotic Fiber is a daily prebiotic and fiber drink that is both delicious and easy on the stomach.
Daily Prebiotic Fiber at a Glance
Daily Prebiotic Fiber 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 prebiotics, 5 grams of soluble fiber, and a belly-supporting blend of essential oils - Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass, and Rosemary.
Why We Love Daily Prebiotic Fiber
- Contains 6 grams of plant-based prebiotics 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 healthy postbiotics in the gut
- Contains D. Gary Young's original essential oil blend of Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass, and Rosemary essential oils
- Helps you feel full longer
- Supports cardiovascular health and immune system
Gut Health & 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 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 30 days eating low-inflammatory foods, moving your body, taking Life 9 and Daily Prebiotic Fiber and seeing how these things change! Bonus points for adding in 2-4 ounces of NingXia Red each day.
Daily Prebiotic Fiber contains powerful ingredients like agave inulin, guar gum, and prickly pear cactus extract that work synergistically (1+1=3) with Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass, and Rosemary essential oils to dexotify the gut and promote a healthy environment for bacterial balance. Pairing Daily Prebiotic Fiber with Life 9 is ideal. Daily Prebiotic Fiber creates a clean, happy home for the diverse bacteria of the Life 9 probiotic!
Plus, the ingredients in Daily Prebiotic Fiber provide 6 grams of plant-based prebiotics and 5 grams of soluble fiber. Prebiotics 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, Daily Prebiotic Fiber 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

Gut Health & Emotions
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.
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 stress, gut 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 Daily Prebiotic Fiber to your daily wellness routine is a great way to support your gut on a daily basis!
To Use Daily Prebiotic Fiber
- Mix 1 scoop in 8 ounces of water or juice once daily.
- Take in the morning 30 minutes before meals on an empty stomach.
- Enjoy with water, NingXia Red, or juice

Green Omega-3
Supplement Spotlight
Say hello to this vegan omega-3 supplement that serves up essential fatty acids from algal oil (algae!) instead of fish oil to support your heart, brain, eyes, and immune system. A plant-based source of omega-3 has so many benefits over traditional fish-based sources – less impact on the marine ecosystem, reduced potential for marine contaminants, and a product without a fishy smell or aftertaste. All the good stuff, none of the bad!
Green Omega-3 at a Glance
- Supports heart and circulatory health
- Supports normal, healthy brain function and mood
- Excellent source of necessary fatty acids
- Great for getting and keeping a healthy immune response and antioxidant levels
- Promotes healthy eye, skin, bone and joint health
- Supports metabolic health and a healthy inflammatory response
- Sustainable vegetarian and vegan-friendly formula
Compared to other vegan omega-3 supplements, Green Omega 3 softgels contain one of the highest amounts of DHA and EPA. Each serving packs 330 mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and 160 mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) from a pure plant source - marine algae. This incredible formula also contains flaxseed oil, which is naturally rich in ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), and Clove essential for its antioxidant properties. Together, these plant- based ingredients give you all the benefits of fish oil supplements without the fishy aftertaste!
The Importance of Omega-3s
The health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids have been well-studied and established, and almost all physicians will recommend an omega-3 supplement! Omega-3s are synonymous with heart health, have a reputation for being anti-inflammatory, and help the body reduce blood clots. DHA and EPA also help reduce triglyceride levels – a specific type of cholesterol that can turn into blood clots.
The brain and eyes are also highly enriched with omega-3 fatty acids, making DHA and EPA critical for healthy cognitive function and eyesight. In fact, a natural treatment for macular degeneration is an omega-3 fatty acid capsule that contains EPA and DHA because it helps relieve intraocular pressure.
The brain is made mostly of fat, and it functions especially well with high levels of EPA and DHA. These omega-3s the brain's communication processes and reduce inflammation, which can help slow aging. This means you have more mental clarity, a better memory, easier decision making, and a better mood when you have enough omegas!
Omegas also help to reduce inflammation – a main culprit for many of the most common ailments we face. Preliminary studies suggest that omega-3s may even help improve symptoms of osteoarthritis and joint pain!
Omega 3s and Pregnancy
But omega-3s aren't just for those who want healthy hearts! Omega-3 requirements increase during pregnancy in order to aid brain growth, especially as it accelerates during the second half of pregnancy and continues through birth.
And these omegas aren't just for the growing babe. Moms need them too, especially during postpartum healing. Did you know that omegas can help with our moods? Getting enough good fatty acids like EPA and DHA go a long way when it comes to recovery – physical, mental and emotion!
Green Omega 3 Key Ingredients
- Algal oil - a plant-based source of DHA and EPA, derived from algae; DHA accounts for 97% of the omega-3 fats in the human brain, making it critical for cognitive function and heart, brain and eye health.
- Flaxseed oil - rich in omega-3 fatty acids in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a well-researched fatty acid that promotes heart health and helps decrease the incidence of cardiovascular disease; contains 50- 60% ALA, making it even more anti-inflammatory than fish oil
- Clove essential oil - an antioxidant powerhouse that supports the body from the inside out; has the highest ORAC value (antioxidant value) of all know foods and plants to help reduce inflammation, support organ health, promote longevity, and maintain overall wellness.
Full Ingredient List
Algal (Schizochytrium sp.) oil, Tapioca starch, Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) oil, Glycerin, Water, Clove† (Syzygium aromaticum) flower bud essential oil, Vitamin E (as d-alpha-tocopherol)
Why a Plant-Based Formula
Algae are easy to grow, requiring only sunlight, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and phosphorus, making algae farming one of the few operations with a neutral carbon footprint. And they are a wonderful source of the EPA and DHA that make fish oil so healthy for our bodies!
As the world's population grows and puts pressure on wild fisheries, alternative plant-based sources of omega-3s, like algal oil, are becoming increasingly popular. Algal oil provides a sustainable way to supplement your nutritional needs and positively impacts the planet.
How to Use Green Omega-3
Adults 18 years and older: Take 2 softgels daily.

Elderberry & Elderflower
Elderberry and elderflower are two different parts of the same medicinal shrub, and both can be used for their health benefits! While similar, they each have distinct properties that can be used for immune and respiratory health.
Elderberries have been utilized in traditional folk medicine for thousands of years. In European folklore, elderberry consumption was associated with increased longevity and vigor! They are a great source of antioxidants, dietary fiber and vitamins, and are a wonderful way to provide immune support for the body.
Elderflowers are the flowers of the same plant that bloom before the berries form. They have a slight sweet, floral taste, making them a popular choice for teas and cordials. Elderflowers have been shown to have up to two times higher antioxidant activity than the berries due to a higher phenolic content, and they are great for supporting the respiratory system.
Key Ingredients
- 1,3 beta-glucans (from Euglena gracilis algae) - Beta- glucans support immune health, immune function, and upper respiratory tract health. They're sourced through a sustainable indoor fermentation process to reduce waste and prevent harm to marine ecosystems.
- Elderberry fruit juice concentrate - This ingredient contains antioxidants that combat free radicals and support the immune system.
- Elderflower natural flavor - Flowers from the elder tree have been used for centuries to support a healthy respiratory system.
