Envision a life where finding solutions is simple.
Your choice to engage in self-directed health support offers new possibilities for ways to live empowered in your daily life. The purity + potency of the natural solutions used is of utmost importance in the way they work within our body. I have not found anything on earth to be more effective than doTERRA’s essential oils. I encourage you to dig into why essential oils HERE and more importantly why doTERRA HERE. You’ll see why this is a key piece of the puzzle when it comes to our wellness. A profound gift to my health in multiple ways. Ironically the meaning of the word doTERRA is “Gift of the Earth” in Latin. This company was birthed to provide you with the purest natural solutions you can rely on to care for YOU! As you personally experience the powerful benefits of this, you will understand why it can revolutionize the way you care for your health. I’m a firm believer as it changed my life and gave me relief that Western Medicine could not. (definitely not sayin’ we don’t need Western Medicine -we need this along with being proactive on a daily basis as well- we can’t leave out any part as you’ll see in the proactive medical care section below)
Empowering your daily life with these natural solutions +habits is transformational.
I invite you to explore what’s possible + experience the same!
Let me help you envision this simple, natural way of living!
LIVE A WELLNESS LIFESTYLE
Wellness is a combination of lifestyle and healthcare. When lifestyle is the focus, health is naturally achieved and maintained. Your daily habits make all the difference. As you live these principles and use powerful solutions you experience new levels of wholeness.
Give your body what it needs, and it will thrive. It all starts with optimal daily nutrition + digestive support. Whole-food supplements and essential oils are key tools for our wellness.
We are what we eat!
Fueling our bodies with proper nutrition is vital to living our best life. Just like with a car - you wouldn’t put poor quality gas and oil into it and expect it to run well and last long. The same goes for our bodies.
Eat whole, fresh foods. Decrease sugar, caffeine, dairy, and processed foods. Look at consuming organic, non-gmo foods will be better for us as well. This is a global concern for us over the years and I could go on in a post about that one day soon but in meantime check out this article about this if this is all new to you. Along with this our foods as a whole on the market, today just are not as nutrient-dense as they once were. Now more than ever it is crucial to supplement our diets for health + performance benefits.
Before diving into optimal food supplement options let’s look at our water intake. Let’s also make sure the water we consume is pure and free of any unwanted elements. Once you know you have a good water source make it a goal to drink at least 1/2 your body weight in oz of water daily. Adding citrus essential oils to my water makes it easier for me to drink the recommended allowance each day plus I get the added health benefits from this.
Let’s explore the health benefits of citrus oils in daily water drinking. It is crucial to only use pure tested essential oils so you know what you are getting. You can read all about that in my “why doTERRA” section as quality matters. Not all oils are equal so will not want to use any oil internally but when you know what you have in oils you can reap those health benefits!
How the Chemistry of Citrus Essential Oils Works for Your Body
Citrus is a common ingredient in beverages and foods across the world. From lemon, tangerine, grapefruit, wild orange, to the lesser-known bergamot, there are a wide variety of citrus fruits available.
These citrus essential oils are almost entirely made up of a constituent called limonene (=note all these underlined words are clickable;). This limonene plays a role in the detoxifying and purifying benefits of the oils. According to experimental and clinical research, limonene may help support the function of a long list of bodily systems when taken internally.* These include healthy cellular function, the immune system, the lung, and respiratory systems, the gastrointestinal system, a healthy metabolism, and a healthy colon and liver.* If you look at a diagram of each of these systems, you will quickly realize just how much of an impact citrus oils can have over a large portion of your body.*
Let’s take a look at one system in particular: the gastrointestinal system. Our entire gastrointestinal tract is lined with a mucous membrane that forms a barrier between the external world and the inside of the body. Using Grapefruit specifically may help support these mucosal surfaces, as well as help with normal peristalsis, the process that carries food through your digestive system as it is absorbed, because of the high levels of D-limonene in the oil.* The support is much needed as the digestive system, colon, liver, and the process of peristalsis are all highly important in minimizing the toxic load your body has to deal with.*
To take advantage of these internal benefits, add 1–3 drops of any of these citrus oils to a glass of water on a daily basis.
Supplementation
I eat a healthy diet but even when we eat well, and exercise every day… we still may not be putting everything into our bodies it needs. I can even go as for as actually guaranteeing you your daily nutritional needs are not optimal -start by keeping track of your daily intakes and see for yourself. It will open your eyes!
So I have a supplement regimen that has been a gamechanger:
Terrazyme: Whole-food enzymes to support healthy digestion and metabolic processes. Optimal digestion equals way more energy to do what you love. If you struggle with getting stuff done, try adding enzymes to your daily regime.
Lifelong Vitality (LLV) Pack: Full of essential nutrients, metabolism benefits, and powerful antioxidants designed to help promote energy, health, and lifelong vitality. Maybe you’re wondering “can’t we just get everything we need from food?” Nope. To get the same nutrients from a carrot today as you would’ve got a carrot 50 years ago, you’d need to eat 10 carrots. No joke. As our soil gets depleted, the vitamin content in the foods we eat does too.
If you look at the body as a machine… Micro Plex VMz is the gasoline... good, clean gasoline... The Alpha CRS keeps the engine clean by allowing the gasoline to work to its best and full potential… and the xEO Mega keeps the engine well greased so all the working parts can move fluidly through the engine.
Mito2Max: A proprietary formula of standardized plant extracts and metabolic cofactors that supports healthy cellular energy production. Your cells manufacture energy and this formula strengthens your energetic building blocks for increased vitality in ALL of your physical systems.
DDR Prime: Blend of CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils that help protect the body against oxidative stress (aka. toxins or free radicals that your body needs a helping hand to process and release).
Yarrow | Pom: is the go-to for beauty from the inside out. This Nutritive Duo powerhouse inspired the Yarrow|Pom Cellular Beauty Capsule, a supplement packed with antioxidants for a convenient approach to your beauty routine.

Regular exercise strengthens the muscles and supports the cardiovascular, circulatory, and lymphatic systems, among other crucial benefits.
Essential oils and targeted supplementation support greater flexibility and energy, and ease feelings of tension in the body to help you stay active and strong.
My goal each day is to get in 30 minutes of movement. This can look different each day, for example riding a bike, going for a walk, run or plain old stretching in my living room. Stretching our body in any form helps in keeping our flexibility. Super helpful as we age to keep fit + healthy! -ya know what I mean?!

Strong All Season | Rest & Manage Stress
How can these gifts of the earth help us in our everyday? I believe God has given us these plants here on earth to help us. If we chose to help ourselves with informed decisions we can have natural solutions working for us.
Dr. Danielle Daniel, licensed clinical social worker and doctor of psychology, is a great resource of mine, and here sharing with you about stress and how to maintain a positive atmosphere in this video:
A “toxin” is any substance that places undue stress on the body and vital organs. Reducing your toxic load helps your body function smoothly so you can stay strong.
Nature experiences cycles of releasing and renewing. Our bodies also benefit from seasons of cleansing and focused detox for renewal. Support your body’s natural pathways of detoxification by using natural cleaning and self-care products, along with targeted use of dōTERRA CPTG® essential oils.
Wonder why you would want these oils in your products rather than other ingredients? See “WHY ESSENTIAL OILS” and “WHY doTERRA” pages. These essentials you will see are perfectly designed to work within our bodies for our health's sake.
On top of general day-to-day awareness of reducing my toxic load, I’ve integrated a bi-annual 7-day detox and a 30 day cleanse. These programs among other fabulous resources are offered to my oils community. Ready to start go HERE.
WHY CLEANSE?
• Enhance metabolism*
• Support healthy weight*
• Improve digestive function*
• Improve elimination and natural detox processes of the body*
• Support nervous system*

TIP:

What is informed self-care?
As you take greater responsibility for your health, it’s paramount to understand the issues that may not require the immediate attention of a medical professional. While it’s important to see a doctor when the situation calls for it, some minor issues can be solved at home, especially if you’re proactive (instead of reactive) about taking care of your body. Taking care of your skin, supplementing to promote the health of your body’s systems, staying on top of women’s health issues—all of these can be addressed with the proper use of natural products.
This is where the daily use of essential oils really shines, complementing modern medicine. Essential oils, when used regularly, can support the proper function of different body systems, support feelings of clear breathing, protect against environmental threats, and so much more. I and my family are examples of this! We’ve had remarkably less reliance on our healthcare system because of it. Truly liberating and empowering as an individual and as a mom.
Protection - Strengthen - Respond
80/20
With a foundation of healthy habits and effective education, you can address 80% of your family’s wellness needs from the comfort of home. From time to time, however, situations arise that require extra attention and support. The other 20% of health needs involve what we call proactive medical care.
Finding a Trusted Medical Professional
One of the most important pillars of lifelong health is having a trusting relationship with a medical professional. When having open and honest conversations with your doctor allow him or her to provide you with what you need to stay healthy. And from my experience when you take it upon yourself to actively live a healthy lifestyle and involve your doctor in necessary matters, he or she will be better equipped to help you when problems arise.
