Brain Health

Beat August Stress: Essential Oils for Brain Health & Mental Clarity

Liz James · August 1, 2025 ·

I cannot even believe we are already talking about August! Is your 2025 going as fast as mine is? 🤪😳
 
Yes, August is back to school month, but it’s also a great time to take a breath for a moment and plan for how to manage the last 1/3 of the year……because if the first 2/3rds of 2025 was a blur, chances are high things are only going to accelerate August thru Dec. That’s where brain health comes in!
 
Stress on the brain is highly inflammatory no matter your age, and it’s to everyone’s benefit to navigate stress in a healthy manner with healthy tools. Thankfully, our friends at YL know this too 🙂, and give us tools…. and this month, 3 of them are free (with qualifying purchase).
 
100 PV Loyalty Order
15ml Tangerine essential oil
Retail value: $24.67
YL science 🤓 tip: oils high in d-limonene (such as tangerine) may modulate serotonin and dopamine signaling and also appear to support healthy cortisol levels…. the result? helping calm overactive minds, relieving nervous tension, and uplifting mood.
 
200 PV Order
5ml Vetiver essential oil
Retail value: $31.25
YL science 🤓 tip: vetiver is one of the most studied essential oils for its effects on those people who suffer from chronic “squirrel” 🐿brain. It can be so helpful in oil blends to help reduce overthinking and constant mental chatter, overwhelm, and “hyper brain”.
 
300 PV Order
Green Omega 3 softgels
Retail value: $89.47
YL science 🤓 tip: Omega 3’s have been proven to protect neurons from oxidative stress and cell death (none of us need dead or dying brain cells 😉 ). Omega 3’s are power packed for other areas of the body too… it’s not just for neurons.
 
If your world appears to be spinning faster and faster in 2025, take some time for self care friends. Do the things. We have access to some pretty amazing tools (you can also learn more about de-stressing in healthy ways in my book, Becoming Your Own Health Detective, Volume II… available on Amazon or now at Seeds of Thyme).
 
xoxo~ liz
 
PS: Have you used vetiver before? I’m so curious about how/ where you use it. If you have a blend/concoction you’ve had success with, please do consider sharing here with everyone. Together we protect and heal!

Reset 2024

Liz James · December 28, 2023 ·

Hey friends! 2024 is about to get real! Is resetting or ramping up your health one of the things on your 2024 bucket list?
We are seeing incredible testimonies come out of the 14-day reset (we’ve been doing them as a team YL for several months now💪):
✅Increased energy
✅decreased pain and inflammation
✅pounds lost
✅Clearer thoughts
✅decreased brain fog
✅Improved Blood Sugar numbers
( And much more.)
If you have 102 ounces of NingXia you are ready to go. 💪 If not, but you want to join in, grab some NingXia ( YL members, use your “shop order” and get $15 off using 15OFF promo code. If you don’t yet have an account but would like to give the reset a go…. use this link: https://bit.ly/14-Day-Reset and the code “SHAREYL” for 10% off your first order ).
I am adding a few links in the comments below to learn more about how this type of reset can completely transform your health in 2024. 🎆
Have you done a reset yet? I’d love to hear your personal results!
Finally, there is a reset group zoom call this evening… (Thursday) December 28th at 7pm CST if you’d like to learn more about what a 14 day reset looks and feels like.
If “something’s got to change” has been rolling around in your mind….. the reset could be a game changer for you in 2024.

Yoga Helps the Lymphatic System

Liz James · April 21, 2023 ·

Just completed my second class in Yoga Medicine over the last few months. Their curriculum takes yoga to the next level…. this particular course focus was on lymphatics, and it it did not disappoint! 🤓🔥🧘‍♀️
 
A few highlight moments for me:
🫶 flow in all systems of the body is key. If any are stagnant, health will, without question, suffer.
🫶even if you think you don’t need to…. help your lymphatic system do its job! Nobody’s got time for excess trash to be sitting around creating mayhem in the body.
🫶 the lymphatic system doesn’t work nearly as well as it could if you are stuck in fight, flight, or freeze mode.
🫶 the left side of the body does alot more work than the right side when it comes to lymphatic drainage (don’t neglect either side tho!) Lymphatic flow increases 10fold during exercise💪
🫶 deep diaphragmatic breathing is absolutely essential on the daily!… not just for pulling neurological trash out of the brain, but for healthy lymph flow in general. Nobody’s got time for brain diseases!!!! Just do it.
🫶deep sleep is critical for maximum brain cleaning (if you aren’t sleeping, message me, and I’ll give you some tips for improved zzzzzzzz’s🥱)
🫶Risk factors of developing lymphedema include older age, muscle loss, obesity, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, sedentary lifestyle, cardiovascular disease, cancer treatment, and post operative recovery period.
🫶just as in detoxing elsewhere, open the exit doors first before loving on your lymphatic system.

Yoga is Good for Your Brain

Liz James · March 1, 2023 ·

There’s a delicate little system surrounding the brain called the glymphatic system. When in disrepair (eg: like a union garbage worker’s strike in New York City🥴), trash builds up over time. Long term ramifications of this= neurodegenerative brain dysfunction and dis-ease such as Dementia.

Be kind to your brain….. it’s the only one you’ve got!

If you’re local, come to yoga… Wednesday nights at 7:30pm.

You won’t regret being kind to your brain! 😉….. now or 20 years from now.

Message me for deets.

The Good Egg

Liz James · June 3, 2022 ·

Eggs… they do a body good! Healthy hens produce healthy eggs that are rich in cholesterol. Yep. Cholesterol gets a bad rap… we must have cholesterol in our lives in order to function properly. Every cell requires it. 50% of our brain is cholesterol. Our nerves couldn’t function well if it’s in deficit. Our hormones wouldn’t exist if we didn’t have it.
 
There are maaaaany health issues that result when the body is deprived of cholesterol, but make no mistake, there’s a big difference in quality of cholesterol when you use junk sources (ie processed foods) versus healthy sources (ie walnuts, avocados, grass fed butter and meats). The body most certainly can tell the difference!
 
Get to know your egg source. Free range matters as does the quality of feed the hens are given. Non soy, non GMO, corn free, and free of the same unhealthy oils that are found in processed foods. We are what we eat, and the same can be said of hens🐔 and their eggs🥚.
 
Know your farmers. Know your food!
 
Happy Friday friends! May you have an egg-cellent day!🥰
 
xoxo~ liz
