Preventive Health & Root-Cause Medicine

Chronic Irritability and Anger

Liz James · January 26, 2023 ·

The body doesn’t lie.
ย 
If you struggle with either occasional or chronic bouts of anger/irritability, check yourself…… your mind or body may be telling your something.
ย 
Common causes of irritability include: sleep deprivation, low blood sugar, underlying toothaches, certain respiratory disorders, medication, depression, anxiety, hormonal imbalance, and thyroid disorders are just a few.
ย 
Left unchecked, chronic irritability and anger can also lead to disease or aggravate a known condition. The constant rush of stress chemicals in the body are linked to migraines, insomnia, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, auto immune disorder flares, eczema, heart disease, strokes and digestive disorders (among other things).
ย 
Come to yoga. You won’t regret leaving your “heavy” at the door.
Local peeps….. 7:30pm. Message me for deets.

Horse (and People) Deworming

Liz James · January 19, 2023 ·

I’ve been using #silverliningherbs equine dewormer for several years now and LOVE the product (it’s super easy to use in addition to being safe for them). I also love that they send out a deworming schedule I can keep in the feed room as a reminder. I also love that they send out this schedule because it helps me plan when I’m going to start my 2-3 times a year parasite cleanse for my human self. It takes a little prepping to get my personal house in order beforehand. Making sure the digestive system is in strong working order, supporting liver function, and then the actual parasite cleanse. Have you ever done one?
 
Here’s a great reference for best practice start date of the actual parasite cleanse. Plan on 4-6 weeks of gut/liver love beforehand and during ๐Ÿ˜‰.
 
We North Americans are a snotty bunch…. thinking parasites are only an issue in 3rd world countries. No so. We’re just as ๐Ÿชฑ๐Ÿฆ wormy!….. maybe even moreso because it’s an often neglected aspect of health.

Heart Diffuser Challenge

Liz James · January 17, 2023 ·

Happy Tuesday friends!
ย 
Have you heard about the ๐ŸฅฐHAPPY HEARTS DIFFUSER CHALLENGE? ๐Ÿฅฐ
โค๏ธ During February, we (myself, many others, and perhaps you too?) will be diffusing Bergamot everyday for 28 days. Heads up…. I’m starting now because it takes 6 weeks to get good at a habit ๐Ÿ˜.

ย 
If you aren’t using oils to help with your emotional health, please, consider giving it a try! “Try” in this case doesn’t mean once and done….. try means “let it become your BFF companion for at least one month, and see what happens ๐Ÿ˜‰โค๏ธ.
ย 
A little bit about our new BFF Bergamot:
โ€ข Has a zesty citrus flavor that’s great in diffuser blends, recipes, and DIYs
โ€ข Uplifts the emotions and senses
โ€ข Contains antioxidants that help support a healthy lifestyle
โ€ข Helps support the cardiovascular system
โ€ข Is a wonderful choice for combating oily skin
ย 
Bergamot is also a huge component for many perfumes due to its ability to balance the mix of aromas and harmonize all of the essences. Some of our favorite pairings are:
โ€ข Bergamot + White Angelica
โ€ข Bergamot + Sacred Frankincense
โ€ข Bergamot + Stress Away
โ€ข Bergamot + Vetiver
ย 
Many a surprise outcomes have resulted from giving something a good 6 week try. Winter months can often cause an emergence of winter blues. Let’s see if Bergamot can reverse that trend. Will you?

Dry Skin Solutions

Liz James · January 10, 2023 ·

Dry skin is something so many of us struggle with in the winter months. We slather on lotions and creams and it can seem like a constant battle. Dry skin does tend to get worse in the winter because our bodies don’t seem to crave water as much and drinks like coffee or hot chocolate (or soda) don’t solve the problem. It’s us to up to be the watchdog and caregiver of ourselves!
Other signs of winter dehydration:
  1. Dark colored urine (it should be light colored to clear)
  2. Sweating or finding you don’t need to visit the bathroom as often.
  3. fatigue (very common symptom of dehydration!)
  4. Dry mouth
  5. Headaches
  6. Sugar cravings (dehydration makes it harder to break down glycogen which releases glucose/energy to the bloodstream. This leads to craving sweet treats)
Unless you have a medical condition, be sure to drink at least half your body weight in fluid ounces daily (ex: 200lb person will need to drink 100 oz of water daily). If drinking plain water isn’t your jam, add in the YL Vitality Drops (electrolytes) for a tasty alternative! (available as Lavender Lemonade or Bergamot Grapefruit).

Lavender & Bergamot Help Anxiety

Liz James · December 22, 2022 ·

Interesting article on lavender and bergamot use (3 times a day for 8 weeks) in a study involving 50-60yr old menopausal women who were experiencing menopause related “moderate anxiety and some sexual dysfunction”, but were otherwise healthy. (I am interpreting this to mean they did thorough labwork beforehand… key point! โ˜๏ธ…. otherwise they might be overlooking a bigger fish that needed frying!)
ย 
This is not a one size fits all situation. Everyone is different and labwork offers a personalized trail. This doesn’t mean labwork or lavender/bergamot alone are singular answers to a potentially complex problem…. but perhaps they might be in some cases. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Lavender and bergamot are stellar oils (but only when they are high quality ones such as Young Living’s, and when they are used with purposeful regularity for this particular situation). Imagine the women (and their spouses and families๐Ÿ˜‰) who might be relieved by something so simple as using lavender and bergamot three times a day. Labwork, lavender and bergamot are infinitely safer than most modern world common “solutions”.
ย 
Other items I’ve personally found helpful for keeping me younger than my chronological years (in addition to regular and purposeful exercise, healthy diet, and adequate sleep!) : Alternating between Young Living’s Femigen and PD 80/20 capsules, Progessence Plus serum used nightly, and of course…. Sensation Massage oil ๐Ÿฅฐ. Everyone is different, but menopause doesn’t have to be an unpleasant period of life.
ย 
Worth the try? You bet! (link to Lavender and Bergamot…. and Sensation Massage oil) ๐Ÿ‘‰ bit.ly/3Wl2XMq
