Attitude

Reading Challenge

Liz James · January 30, 2023 ·

In September of 2020, I heard & obeyed what God said to do (& NOT do). Walking away from a 6 figure income might have been a scary endeavor had God not already prepared my heart (and Charlie’s too) to step into obedience. The last few years have been full of surprises & opportunities I would have never experienced had I chosen to ignore what God said and stayed where it would be considered “uncomfortably comfortable” by most: when personal values don’t align with employer status quo.
ย 
Book 1: The School of Obedience is an oldie I had never read before. It’s loaded with pearls of wisdom & heapings of truth. I highly recommend it. We can’t fully walk in God’s blessings if we aren’t obedient enough to responsibly receive them.
ย 
Book 2: Arise and Stand is written by my friend Andrea. Wheeew!๐Ÿ™Œโค๏ธ๐Ÿ™ It’s part autobiography & part Bible study. The subtitle is “Breaking through oppression and walking in the full freedom of Christ.” Spiritual oppression is real y’all…. as Christians we don’t tend to talk about that enough. Good versus evil every single day, & if a person is struggling, there’s oppression plain & simple. The question is….. is the person comfortable being spiritually oppressed? I see this in my practice at a health level with some clients….. so many people are comfortable in their discomfort for a variety of reasons, even tho that thinking is to their detriment๐Ÿ˜ฅ. Another book I give two ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘to.
ย 
Book 3: I learned the truth about vaccines probably 20 years ago, and the truth (re: safety and efficacy) is NOT what we were taught in Pharmacy school. The title of this book will make more sense once you dig into it. It has 1240 references and solidly affirms the truth we were not taught. Shocker (not!!) …. profit over purpose is a common theme in the vax industry. It’s a great book for the seasoned truth seeker, but might be a little on the heavy side for newbies. (If someone is in the latter category, I would suggest instead reading ๐Ÿ“š Dissolving Illusions by Dr Suzanne Humphries as a starting point).
ย 
Are you reading any books right now that are pushing you to grow & become a better version of you? I’d love to borrow from your list!

Protect Your Health Assets

Liz James · January 30, 2023 ·

We (the USA) spend more money on “healthcare” care than any other country in the world, yet we are among the sickest. The biggest reason for this is that a person forfeits their health when they hand over their care to someone else without asking lots and lots and lots of questions first, during, and always.๐Ÿค“
ย 
We are our own best advocates.
ย 
Yes, it requires some work. All good things do.๐Ÿ˜‰
ย 
No, you don’t have to be an expert. Just a willingness to learn and listen to how your own body speaks.
ย 
Yes, it is helpful to have a mentor or coach who has a strong background or license. “Coach” is a term used very loosely these days. A coach can have a sandlot team or an NFL status. Choose wisely.
ย 
No, it’s not expensive. Being chronically sick IS tho. It’s much easier to reverse a process earlier rather than later.
ย 
You can do it. The question is…. when are you ready to?

Thyroid – part 6: Recap & Strategies

Liz James · April 26, 2022 ·

ย 
Perhaps by now you are thinking, โ€œLordyโ€ฆ.is this information on the thyroid ever going to end?โ€ The trail of clues (and ah-ha moments for each individual) touches pretty much every aspect of the body, and there are many wonderful books and resources that go much deeper than I am here. Please, go research! You are worthy and capable of more than you may think. My goal here is to ignite the โ€œah-haโ€, and spur you towards digging deeper on your own, and perhaps that may even need to include finding the right health professional who will partner (key word there!) with you in your personal wellness journey.
ย 
Recall that the thyroid has a symbiotic and synergistic relationship with many organs and glands in the body. (We havenโ€™t even covered the adrenal glands and sex hormones yet!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿค“). There is a math phrase, โ€œThe whole equals the sum of the parts.โ€ This applies in biology as well: Our body cannot work wholly unless each part is well maintained and works!
ย 
Before we head further southward in the endocrine system, letโ€™s take a look at a cliff notes version of supportive measures designed to keep your thyroid healthy and happy:
ย 
๐Ÿ”ŽFood has the power to heal or kill. Choose wisely and know your sources! Nutrients are best received by the body if in natural form, and if supplementation is needed (often the case in our imperfect world! ๐Ÿ˜•), choose naturally sourced supplements! Synthetically derived supplements are unfortunately the most common ones found in the marketplace and do not do the job well. This is what makes having our naturally sourced Young Living supplements a beautiful, safe and effective one stop shopping experience!
ย 
๐Ÿ”ŽThe thyroid needs very specific nutrients to produce sufficient levels of thyroid hormones:
๐ŸŒฟVitamin D: found in YLโ€™s Super Vitamin D and Master Formula, Balance Complete, MightyVites, MindWise, OmegaGize and Super Cal Plus.
ย 
๐ŸŒฟVitamins B2 (riboflavin),B3 ( niacin) , and B6 (pyridoxine): found in YLโ€™s Super B, Master Formula, MightyVites and Balance Complete
ย 
๐ŸŒฟIodine: found in YLโ€™s Multigreens, Master Formula, Thyromin,
Balance Complete, NingXia Nitro and Slique Shakes). Recall that it may be a good idea to have an iodine loading test done to see if your body needs more than it is currently getting in your diet and current supplementation.
ย 
๐ŸŒฟVitamin E: found in Master Formula, MightyVites, Thyromin and IlluminEyes
ย 
๐ŸŒฟIron: found in Master Formula, Balance Complete and Femigen
ย 
๐ŸŒฟZinc: found in Master Formula, Immupro, PowerGize, Balance Complete, Slique Shakes, Super B, AminoWise, MegaCal, and MightyVites
ย 
๐ŸŒฟSelenium: Master Formula, MightyVites, Immupro, Super B, Balance Complete
ย 
๐ŸŒฟTyrosine: found in Thyromin and Multigreens
ย 
Additional ways to support and love on that beautiful ๐Ÿฆ‹butterfly within your throat include:
๐Ÿ”ŽKeeping the toxinโ˜ ๏ธ load to a minimum! Thank goodness we have the entire Thieves Household Cleaner to keep our homes, cars, ourselves, and our pets spiffy, clean, and healthy! Butterflies (and your thyroid!) are so very sensitive to their environment. Recall that toxins include toxic emotions and unresolved drama and trauma. Toxins also may include gluten in susceptible individuals.
ย 
๐Ÿ”ŽBe alert for chronic low grade infections that create systemic low grade inflammation, and mediate accordingly. Common sites for these to occur may be within joint replacements, root canals and other dental infections, sinus cavities, breast implants, and parasitic๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿฆ  infections (usually undiagnosed!…. I personally do a parasite cleanse at least twice a year using Parafree along with major liver support)
ย 
๐Ÿ”ŽSupport your toxin clearing organs so that they may do their job efficiently and effectivelyโ€ฆ. Pay close attention to how well your liver and kidneys work! If you have an MTHFR gene variance, youโ€™ll want to support your liver function on the regular. The liver has to work that much harder to remove toxins from the body! Studies have shown that carriers of a MTHFR gene variance have a higher risk of developing hypothyroidism if left unmanaged. Conversely, if you have a sluggish thyroid and a normally robust MTHFR pathway, the sluggish thyroid will eventually affect the MTHFR (methylation pathway) that is needed to clear toxins (and fighting inflammation) efficiently from the body.
ย 
๐Ÿ”ŽStrive to live as medication free as possible. While it may not always be possible, make it a goal to aim for. Youโ€™ll never succeed in something if you donโ€™t create a plan and work towards a goal!
ย 
๐Ÿ”ŽThyroids love exercise! Incorporate an appropriate exercise routine into your daily habits.
ย 
๐Ÿ”ŽRemove all possible sources of fluoride and chlorine saboteurs from your world. Check your local water source for fluoride content and filter your water. Remember that Thieves Toothpaste and Mouthwash is your thyroidโ€™s friend!
ย 
๐Ÿ”ŽAddress Autoimmune Diseases holistically and reduce chronic systemic inflammation in the process.
ย 
๐Ÿ”ŽChronic stress is among the gang of enemies hellbent on destroying the thyroid. Protect your thyroid as you would a small child๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€ฆโ€ฆ seriously. Use your skills weโ€™ve talked about and work on improving your stress quotient.
ย 
๐Ÿ”ŽProtect your Gallbladder! Recall the synergy between those two unlikely organs. If youโ€™ve lost yours, make sure you are supplementing with digestive enzymes such as EssentialZyme or EssentialZymes-4 to help break down the fats needed to assist in the conversion of inactive T4 to active T3.
ย 
๐Ÿ”ŽSleep! 7-9 hours a night to allow the body to reset and heal.
Use supportive essential oils: YL Endoflex, Brain Power, and Clarity blends all have properties which are beneficial thyroid health as does Spearmint, Ledum, Myrtle, Peppermint, and Myrrh.
ย 
๐Ÿ”ŽAshwaghandha: Although not a nutrient, it is an adaptogenic herb that has strong scientific credibility as a supportive measure for thyroid function. This herb is found in EndoGize and PowerGize.
ย 
Supporting and managing thyroid health isnโ€™t just for those with altered thyroid function. Itโ€™s for everyone. We protect what we love, right? We are each a work in progress, and our work is never done because our personal lifeโ€™s circumstances change daily. We tend to live in one of two ways. God has given us free will to choose throughout our lives, and we can choose to actively live or passively die. Iโ€™ve known people who (even despite dying) chose to proactively live. Itโ€™s a beautiful thing to see, and their lives have glorified God. Our body is a temple created to serve and worship Him. Treat yourself as though you are a precious gift๐ŸŽ worth fighting for.
