From Blindness to 20/20: My Aunt’s Incredible Eye Health Journey! 👀❤️

Liz James · February 19, 2025 ·

Y’all, I’d like to introduce you to my precious Aunt and tell you about our phone call yesterday.
We have a strong family history of an eye disease called macular degeneration. My grandmother (her mom) went blind from it about 10 years before she passed away. Both my Mom and my Aunt have it, and have for several years. My Aunt was diagnosed a few years ago with cataracts on top of the macular degeneration. This apparently compounds things and can make cataracts surgery a little more complicated. My Aunt waited until she was almost completely blind before finally agreeing to the cataract surgery (they did each eye separately, about 6 weeks apart)
About 3 or 4 years ago, I encouraged my Aunt to start taking NingXia Red and Illumineyes daily in an effort to help salvage whatever we could on her eyes. She has been so faithful in taking both daily……
Well!!!!! She has been telling me how much better she is seeing after her cataract surgeries, and I totally imagine that she was, but I had no idea…. yesterday she called me after her Dr’s appointment. Not only did the doctor tell her she has 20/20 vision, but they also can find no evidence of the Macular Degeneration! (This is largely considered an incurable eye disease).
They asked her to take the vision test twice😉…. and then she told them she drinks a red drink 😉 and takes a red pill to help with her eyesight.
Love your peepers friends!

Adaptogens: Nature’s Stress-Busting Superheroes for Your Endocrine and Immune Systems

Liz James · January 9, 2025 ·

I’ve been learning some fascinating things recently about adaptogens…… have you heard that term before? 🤔🤓

Adaptogens are a class of herbs/plants that have been used for centuries to support healthy function of the endocrine and immune systems. Of course, way back in the day, people hadn’t yet discovered the endocrine and immune systems…… they just knew that the plant worked! The same can be said for us now…. unless you’re really curious, we don’t necessarily have to know how our oils and supplements work in order to enjoy their benefits!…. the proof is in the outcomes. 😍

Aiding those two systems (endocrine and immune) also positively impacts energy, immunity, cellular repair, mood, sleep, stamina, and focus (There’s more, but I don’t want to write a novel! 🤪).

Some examples of adaptogens include ashwaghanda, medicinal mushrooms, maca, licorice, holy basil, ginseng, and rhodiola (there are more!)

One of the many cool things about adaptogens is that, like our Young Living essential oils, they are overall safe and well tolerated (tho as with most herbs and medications, consult your favorite medical professional if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a “narrow therapeutic margin” medical condition, or are generally unsure ✅#duediligence).

I love when traditional herbal medicine is studied scientifically….. not surprisingly when I did a quick search on pubmed.gov I found over 1800 published studies on ashwaghanda alone. 🤓…. lots of science to back up what we already have learned generationally through experience!

I am aware of at least 6 Young Living supplements which contain one or more of the adaptogens I listed above. Can you name them? 🙂

Get Ready To Reset Now

Liz James · December 21, 2024 ·

Enjoy the holidays, but if you are so inclined to be thinking about ways to improve your lifestyle in 2025, and would like a community to step into, there is a HUGE reset FB community online making life-changing (and in a few cases, probably lifesaving 🙏🥹) waves as a community.
The missing piece of a health journey is frequently lack of community and/or lack of support and encouragement as you “do the thing”. People often pay big bucks for that in the form of private or group coaching and not everyone can afford that. This is where the resetter community steps in. Learn from one another, find a buddy, and move forward. Baby steps lead to giant leaps!
If you are ready to get your toes wet, I’d like to offer you a couple of complimentary coaching sessions to boost the success you are reaching for. Please reach out to me privately for details.
When you feel your best you are more apt and able to live the life God has intended for you 🙏.
xoxo~ liz

Skip The Nitrates, Not The Ham

Liz James · December 20, 2024 ·

Good morning friends! If a Christmas ham is on your menu this coming week, be sure to buy a variety that does not contain chemicals (specifically nitrates). Sodium nitrate reacts with the acid in a person’s stomach to form nitrosamines- one of the most cancer causing agents known (esophageal, liver, stomach, kidney, pancreatic, colorectal, and others). Regular consumption of nitrates may also increase the risk of type II diabetes (think sliced deli sandwich meats, hot dogs etc)
 
Interestingly, there have been over 1400 medication recalls in the last several years because of nitrosamine formation that has occurred during the production process of medications in some batches of medication (eg: metformin, ranitidine, losartan, valsartan, and other ARB’s are some of the more common ones). The FDA says nitrosamines are safe in small doses, but I am more of the mindset that if you know something is cancer causing, isn’t it best just to avoid it as best as you can? Small doses add up if you are taking them daily! (and it’s just one more reason to work to avoid medications whenever possible and use botanicals or holistic/ alternative methods of healing whenever possible 🙏)
 
If finding a local pasture raised ham isn’t feasible, here are some brands that are Nitrate free:
Naked Bacon
Applegate
Boar’s Head
Jones Dairy Farm
Wellshire Farms
Happy Friday!

How To Get Your Greens

Liz James · December 11, 2024 ·

An estimated 69% of adults in the USA fall short of eating adequate amounts of “greens” and the consequences of consuming inadequate phytonutrients chronically has a direct impact on long term health and Vitality. Research has shown that chemicals in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, and kale are protective of DNA, inhibit “wild” cell proliferation, and support the “arrest” of some wayward types of cells.
BTW, an estimated 78% of adults in the USA also fall short of eating adequate amounts of “reds” in the fruit and veggie world too (which helps the body in some pretty amazing ways!)
NingXia Greens (which is loaded in all kinds of greens including kale, broccoli, and cabbage😉)mixed with NingXia Red is a daily staple in our house ….. if you aren’t getting the greens and reds in your daily diet, this is an easy way to get it done!
Our daily drink “recipe”
About 3 oz of water
1 scoop collagen
1 scoop NingXia Greens
Mix well
Add in NingXia Red
Top off with either a Zyng or Spindrift for a little added bubbly
Enjoy!!
How do you get your adequate greens and reds in daily?
