The Cost of Health

Liz James · March 17, 2023 ·

These questions are so important. Frankly, questions like this ( per industry specifics) aren’t asked nearly enough in nearly every industry we all use (including banking

) because, we live in an age where convenience usually takes precedent over integrity and value…… all to our detriment.

Taking a medication for a symptom is faster than finding a root cause and addressing it in a slower holistic fashion, but…….. at what cost long term?

Running through a fast food drive through is faster than meal prepping, but…… at what cost long term?

Choosing 2 hrs on the couch watching TV or scrolling is “more relaxing” than working out, but….. at what cost long term?

Letting someone else be the primary decisionmaker about your own health is easier than being an informed medical consumer, but….. at what cost long term?

I could build a much longer list here, but I think you get what I’m saying.

Do your own research.

Learn which companies value purpose and integrity over profit, and honor them with your business.

There is a priceless value to doing things “the slow way” that extend far beyond a fine wine, well aged cheese, or a loaf of wildcaught yeast sourdough bread

Chris Bowerbank:

“World Leader in Essential Oils” is emblazoned on Young Living’s Global Headquarters (GHQ) building. I see this every day when coming to work at the D. Gary Young Research Institute.

I like to break it down into specific categories as a stress test to see where we can continue to innovate and lead the #essentialoils market.

For example: World Leader in Essential Oils _________ (fill in the blank).

World Leader in Essential Oils plant research (Tyler Wilson)

World Leader in Essential Oils supply chain (Michelle Shinn YL and the SSBO)

World Leader in Essential Oils authentication testing (R&D)

World Leader in Essential Oils quality testing (Quality Control Laboratory)

World Leader in Essential Oils products with purpose (thanks #Gary & Mary!)

…and on and on.

Are there areas that #YL can improve? Of course, and that is where those of us who work at Young Living corporate find our drive and inspiration to continue leading our industry.

To give you a #science perspective, we ask questions such as:

Are there additional #tests we can perform to assess essential oil authenticity and #quality?

Can we improve our EO #distillation technology?

Is there new #chemistry technology for the #laboratory that we should evaluate?

Are there #sustainable and responsibly #harvested plant #species that we should evaluate for their EO’s?

Are there natural personal care or nutrition ingredients that we should introduce as new or reformulated #YL products?

There is no other company in our industry who puts more time, funding and commitment into research, development, and testing. I am #ylproud and love our #WeAreYL tribe.

Nutrition Myths Busted

Liz & missy bust nutrition myths on rumble

God made us fearfully and wonderfully. He also gave us foods to nourish and heal! I had fun recording a series of videos with one of my good friends, Missy (a holistically minded Reg. Dietician), in honor of yesterday (March 15), which was ….. according to the calendar of days……. “National Everything You Think is Right is Wrong Day”.

Yoga for Constipation!

Liz James · March 15, 2023 ·

We talk about a lot of things in Yoga…. and

is one of them! Yoga is one holistic tool to help get your digestive system moving more regularly. If someone isn’t having daily (normally formed) bowel movements, this is a guarantee that the rest of the body will not perform optimally.

Come to yoga…. it may be just what you’ve been missing!

Wednesday nights @ 7:30pm …… message me for details (Walk-in’s always welcome!)

14 Day Reset

Liz James · March 10, 2023 ·

Good morning friends! I wanted to share a video from a group that I am co-facilitating. It’s called the 14 Day Reset.

Reset what…. you might ask?

Well, sometimes we get so used to feeling “off” it becomes normalized to each of us. In fact, you may have gone to the doctor and been told “everything is fine”, and though you may not feel fine, you’ve just been told that “not feeling fine” is normal….. (It’s not! ), and so many people just attribute this to aging and normal wear and tear on the body.

God made us fearfully and wonderfully. He also made us as an incredible healing machine…. IF the body has the opportunity to do so. This means giving the body the nutrition and tools it needs and removing the toxins that are causing the body harm which show up as clues making you feel “off”, perhaps in multiple ways.

What does feeling “off” feel like? That answer will be different for each of us, so maybe a better question is this….. what should we feel like day to day?

happy, calm, not anxious or

all at once

clear minded with an increase in focus

having the energy

to complete the day’s tasks

a decrease or absence

of chronic pain

a gut that willing pumps out 2-3

a day

and more!

(weight loss may be an added perk!)

Now, a 14 Day Reset is a starting point. Perhaps you take the information you learn, and decide to make what you glean a lifestyle because you feel so much better. It takes more than 14 days to change a habit and Rome wasn’t built in a day (nor was it destroyed in a day!), but if these 14 days give you a glimpse that it just might be possible to feel great again….. would you put skin in the game?

The 14 Day Reset group came together because collectively, we saw a need for this. It is free, though you’ll need NingXia Red ….(102 oz total for 14 days) to join the group (The NR starter bundle…. #42763 satisfies this). Please send me a screenshot of your order, and I’ll get you added to the 14 Day Reset Community.

We’ll be addressing mind, body, and spirit health together.

( If you do not yet have a Young Living account of your own, but would like to try this challenge, you can create an account here: https://bit.ly/3oFccZj and then message me that you’ve done so and I’ll get you added!)

NOTE: this is a YL Family event…. ALL are welcome but you will need to message me a picture of your placed order for NingXia Red.

xoxo~ liz

(This video is a glimpse of the type of education you’ll be receiving).

To Colonoscopy or FIT

Liz James · March 8, 2023 ·

I’ve been involved in several client, family, and friend discussions over the last couple weeks on colonoscopies.

This is another procedure we are expected to partake in as we age. While there is a time and a place for Western Medicine (and colonoscopies), I offer up this information:

There are a growing number of studies whose outcome suggests that having fecal immunological testing was AS EFFECTIVE as a colonoscopy (and without the risks) in people who are considered low risk (people with no prior history of colorectal cancer, no dark stools

or rectal bleeding etc). Here’s a quote from one of the studies :

” The most relevant result of this interim analysis is that one-time screening with FIT was very similar to one-time colonoscopy with respect to the rate of detection of colorectal cancer, and there was no significant difference in the stage of tumors detected by the two strategies. ” Certainly, the colonoscopy will catch adenomas (which are benign fatty deposits), but again, this isn’t without risk.

Cologuard is a prescribed product, so you’ll need your doctor’s support in this approach. In my professional opinion, it is worth investigating.
