Interesting Study on the Influence of the Father’s Diet

Liz James · July 25, 2024 ·

Such an interesting article! We (hopefully) tend to be cognizant of a mama’s health impacting a fetus/baby’s health and future health, but rarely do we think about what impact a man’s health has on the contribution of a child’s health outcome beyond uncommon genetic anomalies.

” A study found that after a 12-week high-fat diet [from ultra-processed foods], father rats had newborn daughters with approximately 30 percent reduced pancreatic beta-cell mass. Beta cells are crucial, as they produce insulin. “

We are largely what we eat…. and so are our babies! Nutrition is key to health (as is exposure to chronic …. even “low grade” chronic toxicity). Do not underestimate the impact your environment has on health outcomes.

Motion Sickness Hacks

Liz James · July 3, 2024 ·

Do you have any vacay vomiters in your house thanks to motion sickness?

Travel plans can quickly take a nose dive when you or someone else is feeling queasy with motion sickness. Here are YL Pro tips to tame the upchuck.

* Peppermint: ALL the Peppermint! Inhale straight from the bottle, dilute and apply over the chest, throat, shoulders and back of the neck, diffuse in the car if possible.

* AromaEase: Dilute this blend and apply it over the abdomen, along the back of the neck ideally starting before the motion sickness hits.

* DIY Tummy Tamer Tumbler:

* Fill a large glass/tumbler with water and ice

* Add 1 drop DiGize Vitality, 2-3 drops Lemon Vitality

* Option to add 1 drop Peppermint Vitality

* Drink as tolerated, ideally start before the motion sickness gets too bad

* DIY Motion Tamer Roll-on:

* 10-20 drops each Peppermint, Ginger, Frankincense

* Carrier of choice

* Roll over the abdomen liberally and frequently

* Hydration with minerals/electrolytes: Try to start the trip super hydrated and maintain that as much as possible throughout. Add Mineral Essence and Lemon Vitality to your water, bring the Lavender Lemonade Vitality Drops with you on a plane, or even mix in AminoWise to a bottle of water.
