Young Living’s September Free Gifts

Liz James · September 1, 2023 ·

Kicking off September🏈 ya’ll! Can you believe we are already well into the second half of 2023? In addition to 🏈 football and 🍂falling leaves, Fall always brings an uptick of unwell days in households everywhere. Thankfully, WE HAVE TOOLS! 😉 Since you are here…. you have access to them, and this month some of the best wellness tools are FREE with qualifying purchase.
 
🏈Orange Vitality: Orange🍊 is such an amazingly charming secret weapon. Sure, it smells amazing, but pretty is as pretty does. It offers digestive support and immune support (among many other things. Don’t forget to check out the scientific research🤓 available on the Young Living website. A quick peek there on orange revealed 6 studies (there’s way more than that out there in Pubmed should you really want to dive deeply).
 
🏈Thieves Chest Rub: I’ll just say this….. It’s silly not to take advantage of this freebie right now, because when the 🦠hits the airways, you want ALL the tools handy right then right now. Thieves Chest Rub (on the chest, back, and/or bottoms of feet) is a massive game changer. You’ll pat yourself on the back for getting this freebie before you actually need it. 😘
 
🏈Nutmeg: Now, you might be thinking…. what can I use nutmeg for besides making some killer fall recipes? 🤔 Nutmeg supports cognitive 🧠and immune function. A lesser-known fact (we should all do a challenge and try using it this way for a month)…… nutmeg may be useful for people who tend to wake up too early😵‍💫 or in 🥴the middle of the night! 🤓I’m excited to try this for a month before bedtime and see if I notice a change in my own sleep patterns!
 
🏈Just like Thieves Chest Rub, when the proverbial poop hits the oscillator, you need tools on hand STAT. Raven is one you need on the bench to run in and play. It plays well with its teammates. There are some great study articles on the YL website (go look!). Here’s a peek at a few titles for the nerdly inclined like me 😁🤓
“Suppression of inflammatory and infection responses in lung macrophages….”
“Effect of eucalyptus oil inhalation on pain and inflammatory responses after total knee replacement: a randomized clinical trial”
 
🏈I might just be most excited about the FREE NingXia Greens as this month’s freebie. We’ve been drinking it regularly since it was introduced last year. (My favorite power drink is NingXia Greens + YL Inner Beauty Collagen + NingXia Red + Zyng 🤩 ). The NingXia Greens is a daily dose of 60+ fruits, vegetables, herbs, algae, and mushrooms. I challenge you to find a better way to get all that micronutrient-dense, digestive and immune-supportive help in a single supplement. This is a supplement that has been on my order every single month since it was introduced….. but not this month since we will be getting it for free 😉. (and that YL-branded glass is pretty cute too!)
 
Did you learn something new in this post about a product you thought you knew? What are you most interested in trying for the first time or using in a different way than you might have used in the past?
Happy Game Day! 🏈

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.

Breathing the Yoga Way

Liz James · March 8, 2023 ·

Breathing is something we all do…. at least hopefully so 🤪! But are you breathing properly? Breathing seems like such an unimportant exercise topic, but it’s not. Learning to breathe properly not only maximizes your workout potential, it also is the literal motor driving involuntary body processes like heart rate, blood pressure, proper posture, and even emotions. Breathing properly affects pain perception (think of the breathing work you may have learned for childbirth), and it even affects how we walk and how we use our arms. Crazy right? Crazy good…… God made us wonderfully! 🥰
 
Literally…. breathing 🌬 (whether you do it well or not) affects your overall wellbeing. Not breathing correctly has a negative effect on all of the above….. there’s not a neutral answer here. It’s either beneficial or detrimental.
 
Come learn more about breathing properly and get a good workout in the process.
See you on the mat on Wednesdays @ 7:30pm! Local peeps, message me for more details….walk in’s always welcome!
xoxo~ liz

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.

xoxo~ liz
