Energy and Sleep in 3 Simple Steps

· ·

I’ll preface this post by talking about a little experiment I did last month when Nutmeg was a freebie. You might recall that I had shared that I had read that taking a few drops of nutmeg at night (or using it in a roller bottle over adrenals) before bed can help with sleep. I committed to doing this for a month.
 
UPDATE: I’m not stopping! 🤓😉🫶….. who would have thought that nourishing your adrenals before bedtime could be helpful for sleep?!
 
When your adrenals are already struggling, you might think… why stress ’em out by adding one more thing on your “to-do” list? Not this time friends…… give it a try. This month, in addition to my new bedtime BFF Nutmeg, I’m adding En-R-Gee into my day. (I already get the early morning sunshine as I do my a.m. farm chores at sunrise 🌞)
 
Want to join me? 👇
***************************************************************
🥴Do you ever feel crazy because technically you’re “healthy” and “fine,” but you always feel drained and depleted?
🤒 Do you struggle to recover after a sickness, a stressful event, or even a few late nights?
😫 Do you start your day and run out of gas before you even begin, only to get energetic late at night and repeat the cycle all over again?
🤤 Have you tried everything to help your hormones, blood sugar levels, cravings, and weight but all the things people tell you aren’t working?
 
There may be two tiny little glands in your body that need some love. Your adrenals.
The adrenal glands are small organs that sit on top of the kidneys. They maintain and boost our energy, kind of like a car shifting into first, second, and third gear as we go about our day.
They also help our bodies survive during times of stress. Since many of us live in a state of constant stress, they wear down quickly.
The adrenals are part of the endocrine system. Also known as the suprarenal glands, they’re involved in producing over 50 hormones that drive almost every bodily function, many of which are essential for life.
 
Adrenal glands play a huge role in stress response. Here’s how it works:
• Your brain registers a threat, whether emotional, mental, or physical.
• The adrenal medulla releases cortisol and adrenaline hormones to help you react to the threat (the fight-or-flight response), rushing blood to your brain, heart, and muscles.
• The adrenal cortex then releases corticosteroids to dampen processes like digestion, immune system response, and other functions not necessary for immediate survival.
• Your adrenal glands are also responsible for balancing hormones.
Our adrenal glands aren’t meant to always be firing. They are there to jump in when needed and not be running the whole show. But excessive caffeine, lack of sleep, emotional stress, demanding schedules, hormonal imbalance, diet, alcohol abuse, and always pushing ourselves to the max can damage the adrenals to cause them to fatigue. This pushes us into a ‘survival mode’ both physically and emotionally.
Fortunately, supporting your adrenals can be a pretty simple process. But functioning when they have given up? Almost impossible. So let’s give them the TLC they deserve!
 
How can we help our adrenals?
We’re going to grab two oils.
• Nutmeg
• En-R-Gee
Inexpensive. Simple. Life changing.
Each day you will do the following three things:
• Diffuse En-R-Gee every day in your home.
• Apply Nutmeg over your lower back (adrenal area).
• Get 15-20 minutes of sunlight exposure within three hours of waking up
The last thing you need when you’re fatigued are complicated steps or having to remember a bunch of things. That’s why you do it with us.
Why Nutmeg and En-R-Gee?
Both of these oils have unique properties perfect for supporting stress recovery, moving your body out of its fight or flight stress responses, and calming the emotions responsible for our survival instincts running the show and stealing our energy.

October Young Living Free Gifts

· ·

Can you believe it? We are in the final quarter of 2023. Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year, despite the fact that this time of year seems to always pick up in speed. (2024 will be here before we blink an eye! 👀😍)
Young Living continues to take good care of us with these seasonally appropriate gifts with qualifying purchase, and some of my faves for free?…… YES Please! 🙌
🌿Eucalyptus Globulus…. this is a fan favorite for its ability to effectively support an open airway breathing🫁 situation, especially when the struggle is real🤧😷! (whether that be seasonally or you just need a little breathing boost ⛹️🤾! )…. but did you know that it also appears to have a positive effect on pain an inflammatory response simply by inhaling it? (Check out this and other studies posted in the “Discover our Research” sections on the YL website: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3703330/ )
🌿Stress Away is another personal favorite of mine! I have several open bottles strategically situated so that it’s never far from my reach. I use it for daytime management of stress. When I was working behind the counter of the pharmacy, a bottle could always be found in my lab coat. (And not infrequently, I would have co-workers borrow it 😉). Perfume with a purpose….. this essential oil blend has a light relaxing aroma, and it does a great job of “diffusing the situation” when used!
Bonus points for the olive wood massage tool that comes with it (if you get it as a gift w/ qualifying purchase).
🌿 Immupro! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌for free💞! This bedtime gem is packet with some of the most powerful plant based immune stimulants…. wolfberry and 3 potent mushroom species well known for their health super powers 💪🦸‍♂️. It also contains melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone ( which our body tends to produce less of as we age and during times of stress). Melatonin is integral to health…. both for ease of sleeping and for its VIP role in immune system function. (PRO Tip: This particular product has gone out of stock in the past, and there were many “woe is me” ‘s uttered throughout the world. When you find a supplement or oil you’d prefer to not live without…… keep a few bottles on hand. We are working with nature, and sometimes nature doesn’t cooperate in the world of supply and demand 😉. I personally keep at least 4 bottles of Immupro on hand as backup! )
🌿Acceptance. In the last quarter of each year, it’s not uncommon to have some reflection on what was and wasn’t accomplished over the last year. It’s not a time for beating yourself up. Nothing good ever happens when you do that. True…. some things we all could have done a little better, while others are completely outside of our control. What we do have is the ability to give grace to ourselves while we regroup. Consider using this essential oil blend in your diffuser as an aromatic “reminder” during your morning quiet time, time of reflection, or time spent planning “what’s next”. Not everything is always within our control, and learning to accept that which is outside our power to change is a huge de-stressor!
Question: what is something you keep WELL stocked in your home…. because you’d be 🥹😭😬🥴if you ever ran out?

Why I Choose Natural Healing: The Pharmaceutical Fallout You’re Not Being Told About

· ·

One of the (MANY) reasons I’m so passionate about finding alternative / natural healing methods is because of the fallout that always occurs to some degree within every single person who steps into chronic pharmaceutical use.
 
Sometimes the fallout is slow🐢. Sometimes it happens quickly🐇. When it happens slowly, it’s rare that the particular medication gets appropriately blamed. Such is the case with antidepressants (and hundreds of other medications) contributing to the surge in antibiotic resistant bacteria in our culture.
 
The consequences: antibiotics may not work as well as they should when they are used, which leads to hard to treat/ difficult to overcome infections. An estimated 35,000 deaths a year in the USA are attributed to antimicrobial resistant infections. I wonder how many of those who have died were taking medication(s) which promoted antibiotic resistance 🤔?
 
Interesting article: 👉How Antidepressants Help Bacteria Resist Antibiotics https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00186-y.
 
I’m not suggesting anyone get off their medication. Have that conversation with a health provider who is not completely influenced by Big Pharma. And in the meantime, utilize natural ways to heal and support your body in a manner that doesn’t require pharmaceuticals. 😘

Young Living Free Gifts December 2022

· ·

Happy December YL Framily! Great freebies this month for our personal use (or for gifts or stocking🧦 stuffers!)
I’m praying ya’ll are well familiar with all of these very common YL products because I’m going to share my personal useage on each of these and I hope you’ll chime in the comments with yours too so we can help each other out. I always learn a little something when other people share their stories with me. 🥰
Thieves bar soap AND wipes! I keep a package of the wipes in my truck at all times. Don’t forget that Thieves are no ordinary wipes. Not only do they clean up germy surfaces and messes quite well, they have immune supportive properties we receive in the process of using them. I tuck them in my suitcase for ease of use when traveling (no worries about liquid limits if flying ✈️. )
 
The Thieves bar soap is interesting and I’m only going to speak for myself here (you do you 😉), but I’ve used all manner of Thieves for keeping myself healthy and well for almost 10 years now. Here’s my personal longstanding tip: It doesn’t happen often, but (surprise surprise 😬🙄) wounds are a fairly regular occurrence out here on the farm, both for humans and animals. I’ve used Thieves cleaning products for years as wound care (like i said…. you do you…. I’m just telling you my story) with fantastic results. ( I’ve also switched over 100% to using Thieves Aromabright toothpaste …. a little pea sized amount totally takes amazing care of my pits while providing another avenue of immune support to those tender lymph nodes so close to “the ladies”. I would imagine that Thieves bar soap on the entire body would be especially beneficial to stinky all over body odor…. anyone with teen boys may thank me later for these tips! Remember, bacteria is generally a large reason for the stank! 🥴) I’ve also used Thieves bar soap as a pre-laundry application on some gnarly clothing stains.
 
En-R-Gee is such an interesting oil blend. In my early oiling days, I didn’t quite understand how oils like Rosemary increased focus, how Nutmeg supported healthy adrenal gland function, or Black Pepper enhanced energy, but then I began reading scientific studies (Pubmed.gov and other sites), and it all made sense! God really did give us all we need in the Garden! I use this beauty when I need to get things done or when I’m driving long distances and I’ve started to lose the pep in my step! Diffuse or apply topically (I personally apply to the adrenals). This (along with Zyng, NingXia Nitro, peppermint in my water and other “clean” energy alternatives) helps me get to my goals. Ya’ll…… the world has GOT to get away from those dangerous energy drinks. I had yet another health coaching opportunity with a family who now has a member with a heart arrythmia their doctor directly attributed to over consumption of those dang Monster☠️ drinks. Don’t wait to be forced to make changes in your life because of a health scare. It’s not a fun place to be.
 
I’ve been using the Super C chewables like they are going out of style for a couple of years now because they are so healthy and immune supportive (and tasty!!!). This month’s freebie is the non-chewable tablet. April Pointer and I had a discussion about the tablets. After doing some digging several years ago, I found out that Ascorbic Acid is usually synthetic Vit C made from GMO’d corn.🤮🫣. YUCK. April had the same questions I did, and she has asked the hard questions…… “where does the YL Super C tablet’s Ascorbic Acid (Vit C) come from?” Young Living knows the dangers and they’ve got our backs!… no GMO’d corn for us. It’s made from fermented foods of the healthy variety ❤️. The added bioflavanoids enhance the Vit C’s activity in the body.
 
I use Super C like it’s going out of style because:
#1. I know YL gives us the best of the best, so I know it’s both SAFE and EFFECTIVE. Remember, the body is much more fond of natural than it is synthetic!
#2. I personally follow most of the FLCCC protocol for maintaining health and wellness and they reccommend 500-1000mg of Vit C daily as part of their protocol. (If you’d like more info about their protocol, look up their website, and message me for info on how I have personally tweaked it to make it “cleaner”. There are a few things I don’t want in or on my body because of their chemical components.
 
Each night, I have my oily bedtime routine. It takes less than a minute. Two of the oils I use with regularity (I alternate) are Valor and Peace & Calming. I know they are both calming to my system before bedtime. I need that….. because my mind is often on overdrive. Unfortunately, I also tend to grit my teeth when I sleep. Back in the day (ie: pre YL), I would grit my teeth so hard that I broke a few teeth WHILE I WAS SLEEPING! 😭I’m not a grinder…. I’m a gritter. Fancy that. Anyway, I now wear a nightguard at night to prevent any more teeth breaking but I still used to wake up every.single.morning. with a terrible headache……….. UNTIL I MET VALOR 😍 (which I apply on my jawline). I use all the things to help my body relax at night. Sleep is sooooooo important (and so are my teeth!). If you don’t sleep well (I DO sleep very very well…. but that’s after a long stint in my pre-YL life of NOT sleeping deeply enough to even dream). USE YOUR TOOLS….. And they are free this month! )
 
Peace and Calming and Valor both are used by so many people for so many ways! I would LOVE to hear your success stories. These two are among the top “10 beloved YL Hall of Famers ” for the emotional and physical support impact they have had on humans and pets alike.
 
Enjoy your day, and remember that the Holiday season is best enjoyed in a state of “Peace and Calming”!
xoxo~ liz
