We are talking heart health this week for our education spotlight. We only have one heart, so its important to take care of it.
When looking at heart health from a natural standpoint, there are several factors that contribute to heart health. Chronic inflammation, blood sugar imbalances, chronic stress, and nutrient deficiencies.
My husband is a great example of how you can change your heart health with diet and lifestyle changes. Way before we even met, he was working a high stress job with lots of travel, and eating out because of that, grabbing not so healthy food daily on the road. He had decided to get some testing done just to see where his health numbers were and before he even left the facility, they told him to immediately get to a doctor because he could die 3 different ways that day. He immediately quit his high stress job, and started to delve into healthy ways to get his body back into balance. He changed all of his cholesterol, blood sugar and inflammation markers without any pills and even the doctors were baffled. Several years later we met at a Young Living class I was teaching and we have been pursuing health together ever since.
I am not sharing this information to tell you what decisions to make about your health, but to share our experience to give you hope and possibly a different avenue to pursue when thinking about your own lifestyle choices. Please do your own research and make choices that are best for your family.
Several products we love for Heart health are Young Living, and one that my husband takes daily is a non-Young Living product that has been very beneficial for him and his continued health.
Young Living CardioGize - CardioGize is a daily supplement formulated to support the cardiovascular system using powerful ingredients such as CoQ10, selenium, garlic, astragalus, dong quai, motherwort, and hawthorn berry. These compounds are combined with premium essential oils such as Angelica, Cardamom, Helichrysum, and more to promote a higher quality of life by supporting healthy heart function, circulation, and the vascular system.
AromaLife is an essential oil blend designed for heart health. Aroma Life helps the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system and circulatory system and helps reduce tension. It's an amazing oil to have on hand! Check this oil blend out in your desk reference for more uses for specific conditions.
Nattokinase is a non-Young Living product that is wonderful for a natural alternative to thin the blood. My husband takes this daily and has had wonderful test results for blood flow ranges and has perfect blood pressure every time. Here is a write up on it, check it out for yourself! https://www.orthomolecularproducts.com/docs/default-source/pdn/pdn_nattinokase3.pdf?sfvrsn=2f89c48d_12
When you are trying to reduce your inflammation and lower your blood sugar levels, some healthy tips to investigate are Intermittent Fasting, ditching processed sugar (I have so many great alternatives without using fake sugars - remember aspartame is a neurotoxin) reducing the amount of white flour you consume and using Berberine daily. Berberine is a great supplement you can get at any health food store for balancing blood sugar levels naturally. If you can get it combined with tumeric, that is even better to help with inflammation.
Next up is our RED CEDAR BLISS! My husband had been dealing with some garbage in his lungs and sinus' for several months that we just could not figure out where it was coming from. His lungs were clear said the doctor but he was still dealing with some phlegm type substance that would not go away. We finally ordered Red Cedar Bliss and he started taking it with Laurus Nobilis 3x a day in a capsule, 4 drops each and within days it broke up the phlegm and he no longer deals with it. It has been a game changer for him. We now keep two bottles on hand in case the issue arises again during the winter months. It also smells absolutely incredible in the diffuser 6 drops at night to assist with breathing easy! You will love this oil.
Let's talk about this one for a minute!!
Yes, Red Cedar Bliss is a warm, evergreen bliss! 
She is a beautiful blend of 
Orange,
Clove, 
Laurus Nobilis, 
Helichrysum, 
Frankincense, and
Western Red Cedar oils, which have a welcoming, harmonizing aroma to ground and uplift the mind. Plus, this blend of oils has some incredible health benefits and is full of multiple constituents that support a healthy immune system and overall wellness!

Several years ago (eh hem...2020), 
some things that changed things forever happened in our world. For the last several years, there has been a clear need in today’s world for a re-balancing of the body, blood, and heart.
some things that changed things forever happened in our world. For the last several years, there has been a clear need in today’s world for a re-balancing of the body, blood, and heart.This is not just in the physical sense but also in the emotional sense. 
POWERFUL oils in this bend will open a path of overall healing for mental, spiritual, and physical support.
POWERFUL oils in this bend will open a path of overall healing for mental, spiritual, and physical support.Each oil in this blend provides constituents that help create channels in our body to clear our “toxins or proteins,” and the key to that is CLEAN BLOOD. How do we help blood be the cleanest it can be? >>> Helichrysum, Red Cedar, Frankincense, and most especially clove.
.
Where does blood pump through daily and carry good and potential toxins? The heart. The liver. Keeping these clean and healthy is key! 
.
Orange Essential Oil packs a big, power-packed punch with antioxidants, helping the body remove toxins and free radicals it may be unknowingly exposed to. Why is this important? Clean cells mean a thriving body, both physically and mentally. It also is the foundation for a well-response immune system to anything that comes its way..
Clove Essential Oil contains antioxidants and may support a healthy immune system and general wellness. Clove oil also contains eugenol and flavonoids, which can help support a healthy inflammatory response and occasional aches and pains. No wonder it has been used in dentistry for centuries!!.
Bay Laurel (AKA Laurus Nobilis & Bay Leaves) has been believed to be effective at calming the mind since ancient times. The linalool and cineol found in bay laurel have been found to reduce everyday anxiety and balance stress hormones. It supports your healthy immune and respiratory systems!!.
Frankincense Essential Oil kind of stands on its own in the blend. We know what Frank can do and how powerful it is for the mind, focus, and clarity. It is amazing at relieving occasional stress and promoting relaxation. Your lovely lungs and respiratory system love the aroma of Frank! Your strong healthy DNA adore frankincense!!!.
Helichrysum Essential Oil - Helichrysum is the Latin name for a flowering plant meaning “immortal” or “everlasting.” That is all I am going to say about our Helichrysum right now. This oil is expensive but its great to have on hand and only use for emergencies in your home, you know like nose bleeds, or cuts that wont stop bleeding, and oh its so good to help wake up nerves that are asleep if you know what I mean. It can helps tissues regenerate when used daily. Remember, our Young Living oils do not expire, so I keep this one in my emergency oil stash and only use it for such. I always take it when traveling in case of mishaps along the way! .
Western Red Cedar Leaf Essential Oil AND Western Red Cedar Wood Essential Oil— I want to make sure you notice that we are using both the wood and the leaves. Each part has different constituents that are AMAZING for your body, your brain, emotions, and overall balance. The Western Red Cedar is called the “tree of life” by the Kakawaka'wakw Tribe [Indigenous tribes] of British Columbia. Again, sometimes less is more. Please note: your lungs, sinuses, and entire respiratory and immune system love the aroma!!.
Red Cedar Bliss, why you need it:• A natural way to support your immune system.
• To support overall wellness.
• To invite harmony into your life.
• Antioxidant-supporting oils that deliver plant powered immune support
• Your lungs, sinuses, and respiratory will thank you!!
• Your healthy heart & blood cells will appreciate you too!!
• Love on your strong DNA!! (Thank you Shannon Hudson for the write up)
We hope this weeks education serves your family and helps you on your health journey. Use your oils daily, even if you don't know what they are used for. You will see results when used on the back of your brainstem, the bottom of your feet or when you drop them down your spine. Young Living oils wake up your cells, helps them go in and clean up the junk in our cells and can help your body get back to normal balance when you use them.
If you need help finding a desk reference to know how to better use your oils and supplements, or if you would like to host an educational gathering for your friends and family and we virtually or in person come and teach how to regain your health back, please let us know. We strive to help you bring health and wholeness to your home, one drop at a time!

It's August and welcome to the dog days of summer! I have just returned from visiting family in Indiana and Michigan and got to enjoy some beautiful sights and down time before the craziness of Fall and the holidays. Have you had time to get away or are you enjoying a Stay-cation? I traveled a lot with my 5 kids when they were young, even as a widowed single parent, but we always drove, ate out of a cooler and did as many things we could that didn't cost money.....and in all honesty, when my youngest kids were little, they were playing out in the kiddie pool one evening when I went out there to pull them in for dinner and one of them asked me to get wet in the pool with them, "I declined" but somehow we ended up getting into a water fight and I used the hose to spray them all down and play water tag with them for about a half hour, getting soaked beyond belief. Still to this day when I have asked my kids what is your favorite memory growing up, its not the trips to Canada, Disney, or even the yearly trip out east to the beach, I have been told it was when I just let loose and played in the backyard with them and doused them with water and let them do the same to me. So whether your traveling or if this is a season where you stay put, I hope your Summer is being good to you and you enjoy the little things.
It is Hot out here in the Midwest and if its hot where you are, make sure to keep your bottle of Peppermint in your pocket. Peppermint helps to cool the bodies internal and external body temperature when 3-4 drops are applied to the back of the neck and one drop on the wrists. You will feel that icy cold sensation and you will also feel immediately cooler. Just a note when applying it to small children, many kids are confused by the icy cold sensation and sense it as "hot", and if that happens, you can put several drops on the bottom of their feet to get the same result. Peppermint also helps the bodies response to inflammation, so you will cool down and see some other beautiful benefits! A drop is also great in warm water and stevia for a peppermint hot tea, hot chocolate, and homemade chocolate bark. Check out your desk reference for all the different ways to enjoy Peppermint essential oil.
Remember to order your must haves for Fall/Winter. Every year I have people message me when their family is down for the count and unless you have oils and supplements on hand, you don/t have any tools to work with and you will be waiting a week to have an order shipped to you so stock up this Fall and be prepared!!!! Jump on our Loyalty Rewards program and order a small order monthly to enjoy the rewards points and reduced shipping and the fun of getting your healthcare shipped right to your door. My top pics for winter are RC, Thieves, Christmas Spirit, Cedarwood, Myrrh, Orange, Oregano, Thyme and Digize!!!!!
I am including an article below about a supplement that my husband started taking this year, called Nattokinase. The following statements are my own opinion and I encourage everyone to read the article and continue with your own research. We have several sources for the benefits of Nattokinase and so when my husbands doctor wanted to put him on a synthetic blood thinner, we were off on an adventure to research how we could do this naturally without harm to his body and side effects. When researching this product, we also found it has been shown to break up blood clots, support a healthy heart and bones too. This is not a recommendation that you stop whatever drugs you currently take, but this is merely to encourage you to look at some other sources to make an informed decision for your health. Nattokinase is not a Young Living product nor is it promoted by Young Living. These statements are my own and are for educational purposes only. I do not profit from this product but just enjoying the benefits in our own home. Enjoy the article.
I have many people asking me about this topic and I hope you enjoy doing more research for you and your family!
Last week I sent out an educational email about our Melissa oil, its benefits, how its grown, harvested and distilled. It is one of the most expensive oils that we have at Young Living, but the benefits are pretty incredible. I personally buy a bottle every year and use the drops sparingly in other blends to enjoy the benefits but also to stick within my budget. Another way to enjoy the benefits of Melissa that I mentioned in our educational email, is to take Young Living MultiGreens. Have you heard of Bioavailability? Before putting essential oils in our Multigreens supplements, there was a 42% blood absorption in 24 hours, but after adding essential oils to our Multigreens, blood absorption rate rose to 64% in 30 minutes and 86% in one hour. Multigreens also helps your body have smoother and regular bowel movements daily. Who knew healthy living could be so easy?
Everybody needs more GREEN in their life, right? Add in the benefits of Melissa oil! This supplement is definitely something you might consider adding to your daily routine.
MultiGreens contains chlorophyll and is designed to boost vitality by working with the glandular, nervous, and circulatory systems. MultiGreens is made with spirulina, alfalfa sprouts, barley grass, bee pollen, eleuthero, Pacific kelp, and therapeutic-grade essential oils. (Melissa, Rosemary, Lemon, Lemongrass)
BENEFITS:
- Power packed "greens"
- Nutritious chlorophyll formula
- Nourishes cells with necessary nutrients
- Multi-mineral supplement
- Boosts vitality
- Aids digestion
- Supports glandular, nervous & circulatory system
- Boosts energy
- Essential oil infused
- Includes bee pollen, barley grass, spirulina, alfalfa, pacific kelp, eleuthero
WHEN?:
- Daily at Breakfast
- Consume with foods and NingXia Red
- Break open and add to children's food
- Break open and add to smoothie
- Try at dinner to help you sleep
- 3 capsules 2 times daily (I personally only take 3 a day)

Why is our new Young Living collagen so special?
Collagen 101
What is collagen?Collagen is a type of protein - it is what gives structure to your skin, bones, tendons, organs, teeth, muscles, and blood vessels. It’s what makes our skin plump and soft, our hair and nails grow long and strong, our joints move smoothly, and strengthens our bones and muscles.
As you hit the age of 30, the body’s collagen production reduces quite a bit - and continues to decline by 1% each year. By the time you’re 50, your collagen levels have been cut in half.
Luckily, we can add collagen back into our bodies - very easily and efficiently!
What are the types of collagen?TYPE I - This makes up more than 75% of the collagen in your entire body! This is your beauty bestie! It reduces fine lines and wrinkles, plus improves hydration and elasticity. It strengthens your nails, and helps your hair grow longer and thicker. It helps support your muscles, eyes, bones, and spine as well.
It is most abundant in marine collagen, and because the molecules are smaller it is most bioavailable in this form. Bovine contains type I as well, although the molecules are larger.
TYPE II - Great for supporting joint health, as it is only present in your cartilage. It makes up the most of the protein molecules in your cartilage, and the connective tissue that protects your bones at the joints. This is best taken in bone broths made from beef and chicken. Young Living's AgilEase and BLM supplements also contain Type II collagen!
TYPE III - Best used for gut healing and supporting your muscles, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue, and blood vessels. It is the second most abundant type of collagen in you body. This is found in bovine (beef) collagen.
Type 2 is great for joints. Type 1 is great for joints AND SKIN. Young Living uses Type 1!!!! 
What is the difference between a liquid and powder collagen?The most obvious difference between liquid collagen and powder collagen is that liquid collagen comes in liquid form while powder collagen comes in powder form.
When you mix a powder collagen into liquid (coffee, tea, smoothie, whatever!) - it shockingly, I know, is now a liquid collagen.
Pre-made liquid collagen is a matter of convenience for many people and personal preference. It is often sold in single serving packets for taking it on the go. It generally has between 2.5-10 grams of collagen per serving (Young Living’s Bloom liquid collagen available internationally has 10 grams!) Some liquid collagen has added ingredients and less than desirable ingredients, so read those labels!
Powder collagen is virtually tasteless and can be mixed into your coffee, tea, smoothies, yogurt, or really anything you’d like! It is typically sold in sustainable bulk packaging that is more eco-friendly.
Which type should I choose?There are benefits to each type of collagen, so to say “THIS is better than THIS” is really doing a disservice to our bodies!
How much do you need to see results?
For skin: 2.5g - 10g per day
For joints: 2.5g - 5g per day
For muscle growth: 15g - 20g per day
Wanna start? Inner Beauty Collagen is your new bestie!Sustainably sourced Type I marine collagen is incredibly bioavailable. Type I collagen makes up more than 75% of the collagen in our bodies!
Reduces the look of deep wrinkles, fine lines, damage from UV rays, and skin smoothness and elasticity in as little as ****3 weeks****
Supports healthy skin, hair, and nails
No dairy, gluten, added sugars, fillers, flavors, or colors.
****5g of collagen*** per serving
Every ingredient COUNTS:
Type I marine collagen: A highly soluble form of bioavailable type I collagen, this ingredient is sourced from sustainable fish using a proprietary hydrolysis manufacturing process that uses no harsh chemicals or solvents. It is odorless and tasteless.
Peach ceramides: This ingredient helps provide hydration to the skin, decreasing skin dryness.
Biotin, vitamin C, and zinc: Vitamin C and zinc support collagen synthesis for glowing skin, while biotin supports hair and nail health.
Tapioca fiber: This prebiotic fiber supports healthy skin by balancing the gut microbiome.
Superoxide dismutase (SOD): SOD is an antioxidant enzyme produced through our unique fermentation process.
Hyaluronic acid: This ingredient supports skin hydration, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for more youthful-looking skin.
Vanilla oleoresin: This oleoresin is a unique form of vanilla that is neither an extract nor an absolute, both of which contain mostly alcohol, and is extracted from hand-pollinated orchid blossoms.
