Bye-bye Weight, Brain Fog, Fatigue & Cravings!

BYE-BYE WEIGHT, BRAIN FOG, FATIGUE & CRAVINGS

Picture
Have you ever been suprised to find out how old someone actually was? Maybe because they looked significantly older or younger than their age? Our metabolic age, meaning the rate at which our bodies actually age, isn't always equal to our biological age. 

Our metabolic health is responsible for our weight, energy, body composition and cognitive performance. All of these things influences how old we appear to be. The stronger and healthier your metabolic function, the better you will feel from the inside out!

Factors that reflect the state of your metabolic health include blood sugar, blood pressure, lipid types and levels and weight. Only 6.8% of American adults have optimal cardiometabolic health! That means 13 out of every 14 people can benefit from metabolic health support right now.

Let's Talk Sleep

 "Sleep is the single most effective thing you can do to rest your brain and body for health" -Dr. Mathew Walker. Better sleep equals a better you!
Picture
No amount of change to your diet and exercise will create lasting physical health if you aren't getting good sleep! It's like rowing upstream in a boat with a leak in it. 

Not getting enough sleep causes:
  • Decreased energy levels
  • Weakened gut
  • Disrupted hormones
  • Weak immune system
  • Decreased brain function (stress, anxiety, memory)
  • Less emotional regulation
  • Weight gain


Getting enough sleep involves realizing the value of it and making it a priority. Getting deeper and more restful sleep involves little changes you make throughout your day. 

Tips for restorative sleep:
  • Morning exercise - 20 minutes of morning sunlight boost circadian rhythms 
  • Deep breathing- Deep breathing activates the vagus nerve and calms the nervous system 
  • Regular sleep and wake times - Go to bed and get up within 1 hour of your set time
  • Establish a bedtime routine- reading, journaling, prayer and listening to music
  • Turn off screens at least 1 hour before bed- EMF (electromagnetic frequencies) can limit melatonin production, impact circadian rhythms and impact memory and learning
  • Sleep in a dark, cool room
  • Don't eat 2-3 hours before sleeping- If you go to bed full, your body will spend time digesting rather than repair, restoring and detoxing
  • Aim for 8-10 hours of sleep every night

Make Your Hormones Happy!

Today I would like to share about some of my favorite essential oils to support hormones. While hormones is a broad and complex topic and effects so many areas of our lives,  I'll give you a few tips for where to begin. 

Stress- Yes, our hormones are responsible for our stress levels. And how we manage stress effects our hormone health.  
  • Basil- supports physical, emotional and mental fatigue
  • Balance- supports anxious feelings, emotional swings, stress and enhances mediation
  • Bergamot- promotes feelings of being worthy and supports all areas of stress (emotional, physical, chemical, mental)

Sleep- Our sleep is regulated by our hormones and when we get deep, restful sleep it balances our hormones! 
  • Serenity- calms fears, nervousness, anger, irritability & agitation and promotes restful sleep
  • Peace- promotes feelings of calmness, peace, reassurance and contentment
  • Lavender- is calming, soothing and great for helping children and babies sleep better

Weight- There are many factors to consider with weight but curbing cravings is a great place to begin! 
  • Slim & Sassy- promotes increased metabolism, curbs cravings, promotes blood sugar balance
  • Grapefruit- promotes weight loss, curbs sugar cravings, encourages release of excess fluid
  • Cinnamon- promotes blood sugar balance

Menstrual Cycle Regulation- This is what most of us think of when we think of hormones- progesterone, estrogen and testosterone balance. 
  • Clary Calm- promotes hormone balance, eases PMS, calms cramping, and supports regulation of flow, balances mood and hot flashes. 
  • Grapefruit, Thyme- promotes healthy progesterone levels
  • Fennel- promotes healthy estrogen levels and healthy ovaries
  • Ginger- promotes healthy menstruation and eases cramping
  • Clary Sage- promotes healthy estrogen levels, after baby hormone balancing, promotes labor, eases occasional hot flashes

As women, hormones affect all aspects of our daily lives. And when they are out of whack, we feel less than optimal. But the good news is, you don't have to live like that! That's my passion!

If you are tired of feeling run down, moody, carrying extra weight or not sleeping, I would love to connect with you and help you discover what needs supported and balanced in your life! Together we will do some testing to see where you are at, create a personal plan and some lifestyle changes that will make all the difference in the world for you!

Why Detox?

Spring is the perfect time to detox! Your body is already naturally detoxing to help it move from winter to spring. 

But why do we need to detox? Overtime we pick up toxins from our environment in the air, the chemicals added to the ground, food and products we use and from the things we put on our bodies. 

Toxins disrupt our hormone balance, contribute to inflammation, digestion & respiratory problems, weight gain and poor sleep to name a few. 

Detoxing promotes:
  • Better digestion
  • Better skin
  • Better metabolism
  • Better mood
  • More energy
  • Less weight
  • Less inflammation

What is the best detox for you?
  • Detox can be diet changes such as eliminating dairy, gluten, sugar and process foods.
  • You can eliminate toxic cleaners and body care products by replacing them with non toxic cleaners such as doTERRA's OnGuard*, Verage or Essential Skin Care lines.
  • Or you can use herbs and essential oils to focus in on the areas you want to detox.
    • Whole Body- Cellular Detox*
    • Focus on Chemicals- EnviroDetox*
    • Hormone- Indole 3 Carbinol*
    • Skin and Body Odor- Liquid Chlorophyll*
    • Heavy Metals- Heavy Metal Detox*

If this seems overwhelming, contact me and I would be happy to customize a detox plan for you! 
*Can be purchased at the Country Cupboard in Fairbury, IL.

Can You Live Without Grapefruit?

Grapefruit oil is becoming one of the most popular essential oils on the market. It doesn't just smell good, it IS good! I'm not sure about you, but I don't want to be without my daily drop of Grapefruit! Here's why: 

Use Grapefruit oil for weight loss
Experimental research shows that diffusing Grapefruit oil may help to curb cravings. Additionally, when taken internally, Grapefruit can help to support blood sugar levels that are already in the normal range.*

Use Grapefruit oil for skin
Keep its lovely aroma with you all day and improve the appearance of your skin by incorporating Grapefruit oil into your skincare routine to reduce the appearance of blemishes. Remember though, as a citrus oil, the use of Grapefruit oil on the skin poses a risk for sun sensitivity, so avoid ultra-violet rays for at least 12 hours after applying Grapefruit to the skin.

Use Grapefruit oil to support a healthy metabolism*
Because it contains the chemical constituent limonene, Grapefruit essential oil has internal cleansing and purifying properties and gently cleanses the body with detoxifying benefits.* To take full advantage of these benefits, simply add one to two drops to a glass of water, and drink.

Use Grapefruit oil to create an uplifting environment
Feeling bored and sluggish at work in the afternoon? Try diffusing Grapefruit oil at your desk. Need a little pick-me-up in the morning? Place a drop of Grapefruit oil in your palms, rub your hands together, and inhale deeply to take in its energizing, delightful aroma.

Sweet! Refreshing! And Tasty! I love to use doTERRA Grapefruit oil as part of a spring detox routine. Grapefruit helps to cleanse the body of any unwanted toxins in support of a healthy metabolism. It also adds a delicious flavor to any beverage for a sweet twist.

Diffusing Grapefruit makes my house smell so fresh! Combine Grapefruit and Elevation for a tangy combination that uplifts your mood and provides an energizing aroma. It’s a great motivation boost to help set your mindset and accomplish your spring-cleaning this season which is not my favorite job, so I am happy to diffuse anything that will help give me the kick I need to get it done! Grab a bottle for your essential spring collection today!

Winter Blues? Try Liquid Sunshine!

​Seems like I’ve heard a lot of comments lately about the cloudy weather! The lack of sunshine can definitely bring us down!

We get 80-100% of our Vitamin D from the sun which provides energy, lifts the mood, helps us absorb calcium and is linked to cancer, diabetes and heart disease.  Taking 2000 iu of Vitamin D during the winter months can significantly lift the mood.

Elevation (Joyful Blend) and Cheer (Uplifting Blend) are both wonderful blends to diffuse or roll on every morning to provoke energy and happiness and drive away gloom and disinterest.
