Welcome January!

We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, 
cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives… 
not looking for flaws, but for potential.
— Ellen Goodman


Welcome to January, the start of a new year and a fresh chapter in your journey of wellness and self-discovery. 

This month, we’re embracing the theme of luminosity. At its core, luminosity is about radiating light, energy, and vitality—
not just outwardly, but from within. In the often cold and dim days of winter, it’s a perfect reminder to nurture your inner 
glow and let it brighten all areas of your life.

Luminosity isn’t about perfection; it’s about alignment. It’s the spark of energy that fuels your days, the joy that uplifts your 
spirit, and the vitality that supports your well-being. This theme encourages you to take intentional steps to prioritize yourself, 
recharge your energy, and shine with confidence and purpose.

Throughout this month, we’ll explore ways to cultivate luminosity in your life—from boosting your body’s vitality and energizing
 your skin to creating habits that let your inner light radiate effortlessly. Let’s step into this new year with a sense of purpose, 
ready to illuminate the path ahead with brilliance and self-care


Shine bright friends,
Chris

Embracing Luminosity: Your Inner Light for a Radiant Year

The New Year offers a chance to pause, reflect, and set intentions. What better way to begin January than with the theme of luminosity? I

n the cold and often dim days of winter, luminosity reminds us to nurture the light within ourselves and let it shine into the world. It’s about 
cultivating vitality, joy, and purpose—a glow that radiates from within.

Why luminosity? Because it’s not just about looking radiant; it’s about feeling radiant. Our energy, mindset, and self-care practices 
all contribute to how we show up each day. Luminosity invites you to prioritize well-being in a way that transforms your 
body, mind, and spirit.






4 Steps to Incorporate Luminosity into Daily Life:

  1. Move with Intention: Engage in activities that energize you—a brisk walk, yoga, or even dancing in your living room. Movement boosts circulation, energizes your body, and helps you glow from the inside out.
  2. Nourish Your Light: Fuel your body with nutrient-dense foods that support cellular health. Focus on vibrant vegetables, high-quality proteins, and hydration
  3. Protect Your Energy: Set boundaries to guard against stress and negativity. Incorporate grounding practices like meditation and use essential oils like Valor or White Angelica for emotional balance.
  4. Create Joyful Moments: Seek experiences that make your soul sparkle. This could be spending time with loved ones, pursuing a hobby, or practicing gratitude.
This month, explore how these simple yet profound shifts can illuminate every corner of your life. As you nurture your inner light, you’ll discover a radiance that’s uniquely your own.

Boosting Vitality: How to Energize Your Body’s Luminosity

Our bodies are designed to glow. At a cellular level, energy fuels every function, and when energy 
flows optimally, it shows in our vitality and presence. Luminosity, in this sense, is a reflection of how
 well our body systems work together to sustain us

How Energy Works in the Body

Energy is generated by the mitochondria, the “powerhouses” of our cells. When these organelles 
function efficiently, they produce ATP, the molecule that powers everything from our heartbeat to 
brain activity. Stress, poor nutrition, and aging can impair mitochondrial function, leading to fatigue 
and a diminished glow. Proper energy flow also involves the balance of hormones like cortisol and insulin, 
which can greatly impact how energized or depleted we feel.

Oxidative stress, caused by free radicals, is another factor that can dampen energy and vitality. 
It’s essential to include practices and nutrients that reduce oxidative damage and support cellular repair.


5 Ways to Enhance Vitality:

  1. Support Mitochondria: Incorporate supplements like CoQ10, found in Young Living’s OmegaGize³, to optimize energy production. Essential oils like Peppermint can also provide an invigorating boost.
  2. Hydrate Consistently: Dehydration can slow down cellular processes. Start your day with a glass of water infused with Lemon essential oil to kickstart hydration and improve digestion.
  3. Balance Nutrition: Focus on foods rich in antioxidants to combat oxidative stress, such as berries, leafy greens, and Young Living’s NingXia Red. Omega-3 fatty acids from sources like fish or flaxseed oil can further support brain and heart health, critical for sustained energy.
  4. Prioritize Rest: Sleep is essential for cellular repair. Use calming essential oils like Lavender or Peace & Calming to improve sleep quality. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep to allow the body ample time for rejuvenation.
  5. Practice Energy Healing: Techniques like acupuncture, yoga, or essential oil aromatherapy (e.g., Frankincense for grounding) can clear energy blockages and enhance vitality. Consider trying reflexology or deep-breathing exercises to improve circulation and energy flow.
By focusing on these strategies, you’ll not only feel energized but embody the luminosity that reflects optimal health. Remember, consistent habits are the foundation of lasting vitality.


Here are six energy-affirming or increasing affirmations to inspire Luminosity 




  1. "I radiate energy and vitality, embracing the light within me to shine brightly every day."
  2. "My body is a source of vibrant energy, fueled by nourishing choices and intentional movement."
  3. "I protect and prioritize my energy, creating space for joy and balance in my life."
  4. "My skin glows with health and radiance as I care for it with love and mindfulness."
  5. "Each breath I take fills me with luminous energy, aligning my mind, body, and spirit."
  6. "I am a beacon of light, reflecting the vitality and beauty that I cultivate from within.





January's Spotlight- Palmarosa Essential Oil

Palmarosa essential oil has a beautiful, soothing, rosy aroma that brings a smile to your face! 

This tropical plant is slightly floral and slightly citrus, making it a wonderful choice for uplifting the mood. 

It is also wonderful for your skin and one oil we love to have on hand!



JUST A DROP OF PALMAROSA

* Helps support the appearance of healthy-looking skin when applied topically

* A great alternative to Rose or Geranium in perfumes or diffuser blends

* Can be used aromatically to create a tranquil atmosphere

* Can be used fend off outdoor annoyances

* Helps support clear, healthy airways and respiratory health

* Has similar cleansing properties to Lemongrass and Citronella

Palmarosa is like a fusion of citrus and floral with a hint of Lemongrass. It is fresh, crisp, and slightly sweet, and it is so incredibly versatile! Use this oil for beauty and skincare, to clear and support congested airways, to keep the outdoor annoyances at bay, to create a soothing, tranquil atmosphere, to support a positive outlook and soothe anxious emotions, or to give your space a little spring refresh anytime of year!

BACKGROUND

Nestled in the lush landscapes of tropical regions, palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii) is a fragrant grass renowned for its aromatic and therapeutic properties. Extracted through steam distillation from the grass's dried leaves, palmarosa essential oil has earned a well-deserved reputation as a versatile botanical treasure.

Palmarosa is one of several aromatic flowering grasses in the Poaceae family. Also known as Indian geranium and gingergrass, it is native to India and Indochina and is closely related to lemongrass and citronella.

PALMAROSA AND SKINCARE

Palmarosa oil is cherished for its skin-rejuvenating properties, making it a valuable ingredient in natural skincare formulations. Its antibacterial and antifungal properties help cleanse and purify the skin, while its hydrating and balancing effects can improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity.

Palmarosa oil is particularly beneficial for oily, acne-prone, or mature skin types, helping to control excess oil production, minimize pores, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

KEY CONSTITUENTS

*Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties

Geraniol, Geranyl acetate, Linalool

PRODUCT OPTIONS

* Palmarosa Essential Oil

* Palmarosa is also a key ingredient in the Joy essential oil blend – a crowd favorite for supporting emotions – as well as in Gentle Baby (wonderful for soothing and for promoting connection between mom and baby), Harmony, Clarity, and Forgiveness blends.

DAILY HABITS WITH PALMAROSA

Use Palmarosa in your self-care and beauty routine.

* Add a few drops to your facial essence, serum, or moisturizer for its delicate aroma and to help promote the appearance of healthy-looking skin.

* Make a DIY Skin Serum:

  * 4 oz dropper bottle

  * 20 drops Palmarosa

  * Optional: 20 drops Frankincense

  * Fill halfway with hazelnut oil, halfway with jojoba oil.

Skin Luminosity: How to Achieve a Radiant Glow at Any Age


As we age, maintaining luminous, youthful skin requires more effort. 

Collagen production declines, skin loses elasticity, and environmental factors like sun exposure take their toll. But with intentional care, you can counteract these effects and restore your skin’s glow.


Understanding Aging and the Skin

Collagen, the protein responsible for skin’s structure and elasticity, starts to decrease in our 20s, with a sharp drop during menopause. This leads to thinner, drier skin prone to wrinkles. Additionally, oxidative stress from free radicals accelerates aging. The skin’s natural renewal process also slows down, causing dullness and uneven texture.

Environmental factors like UV exposure, pollution, and lifestyle habits (such as smoking or poor diet) exacerbate these changes. However, incorporating targeted skincare and nutrition can make a significant difference.

5 Steps to Glowing Skin:

  1. Replenish Collagen: Young Living’s Inner Beauty Collagen provides essential peptides to support elasticity and hydration. Collagen supplementation can help reduce fine lines and improve skin texture over time.
  2. Hydrate Inside and Out: Drink water infused with Lavender Vitality essential oil to maintain hydration levels. Use Young Living’s ART skincare line for topical hydration and to lock in moisture, especially during dry winter months.
  3. Protect Against Free Radicals: Antioxidants are your skin’s best friend. NingXia Red delivers a powerful antioxidant punch to combat oxidative stress. Include a diet rich in Vitamin C and E to further protect and brighten your skin.
  4. Exfoliate Gently: Regular exfoliation removes dead skin cells, promoting a brighter complexion. Look for natural exfoliants in products like Young Living’s Satin Mint Scrub. Avoid harsh scrubs that can damage sensitive skin and opt for enzymatic or mild chemical exfoliants.
  5. Nourish with Oils: Essential oils like Frankincense and Geranium support skin regeneration and radiance. Add a drop to your moisturizer or use as a serum. Oils rich in fatty acids, such as Rosehip or Jojoba, can also help improve skin elasticity and hydration.
Additionally, don’t overlook the power of sunscreen. Daily SPF use protects against photoaging, the primary cause of premature wrinkles and sunspots. 

Combine these steps with a nutrient-rich diet and stress-reducing practices to ensure your skin reflects the luminosity you feel inside.

With the right practices and products, your skin can reflect the luminosity you cultivate in other areas of your life. A radiant complexion is a testament to inner health and self-care—and it’s never too late to start.





First Day of 2025: Reflecting and Refocusing

It’s the first day of 2025, and maybe you’re looking back, feeling the weight of goals not achieved and dreams that still feel out of reach. Maybe you’re wondering, “Can I even do this?” You’re not alone.

The world keeps changing, and the economy has made it clear: relying on a single source of income just doesn’t cut it anymore. The need for multiple streams of income isn’t just smart—it’s essential. But finding something that aligns with your values, helps you stay healthy, and creates real opportunities? That’s the challenge many of us are grappling with.

That’s why it’s so powerful to work with a company that truly values its people. A company that adapts to help you succeed, that understands the importance of supporting business builders, and that offers products designed to help you feel your best—body, mind, and soul. When your work helps you thrive while building a life you actually want to live, it’s not just about income. It’s about creating something meaningful.

Yes, there will be doubts. That’s part of any journey. But as you step into 2025, remember this: your setbacks don’t define you, and your dreams don’t have to be put on hold. Every day is a chance to realign, refocus, and move forward.

This year can be the year you say yes—to possibility, to growth, to the life you’ve been dreaming of. Let’s make it happen, together.

Welcome December !

"The December days are short and brief, but they sparkle with their own
 kind of light." – Unknown

As the year winds down and the world feels a little more hurried, I invite you to take a 
deep breath with me. Let’s pause. Let’s be here, right now. 

In this busy season, it’s easy to get swept up in the rush, but there’s magic in slowing down
 and embracing presence—the art of truly living in the moment. 

This month’s newsletter is dedicated to exploring simple, meaningful ways to cultivate presence
 in our daily lives. Together, we’ll uncover how being present can bring calm, clarity, and connection.

Whether you’re navigating holiday chaos or seeking a peaceful way to close out the year, 
this is your invitation to step away from the noise and find your center. 

Presence isn’t about perfection—it’s about intention. 

Let’s create space for stillness, gratitude, and the beauty of right now. 

Join me in this journey to just be this season. 🌿

The Art of Being Here: Simple Practices for Everyday Presence

In our hyperconnected world, it can feel nearly impossible to unplug and simply be. We’re often consumed by our to-do lists, 
scrolling through social media, or planning for what’s next. Yet, the ability to live in the moment—to be fully present—is one of 
the most powerful tools we have for reducing stress, enhancing well-being, and finding joy in the little things.

Presence isn’t just a skill; it’s a practice. Like building a muscle, it grows stronger with regular attention. Below, we’ll explore simple 
but transformative strategies to cultivate presence in your everyday life. These practices don’t require hours of effort, just small 
moments of mindfulness woven into the fabric of your day.

1. Start with Your Breath

Breath is the anchor that tethers you to the here and now. It’s also something you can control, even when everything else feels chaotic. 

When stress hits, try this: inhale deeply for a count of four, hold for four, and exhale for four. Known as box breathing, this technique 
slows your heart rate and calms your mind in seconds.

Pairing this practice with aromatherapy can take it to the next level. Frankincense essential oil, revered for its grounding and spiritual 
properties, is a perfect companion. Before starting your breathwork, add a drop of Frankincense to your palms, rub them together, and 
cup your hands over your nose. Inhale deeply, letting the warm, woody scent deepen your sense of calm.


2. Practice Sensory Awareness

When was the last time you fully noticed your surroundings? 

We often go through life on autopilot, missing the richness of the present moment. Sensory awareness is a grounding technique that 
brings you back to your body and the now.

For example, while drinking your morning coffee, pause to notice its aroma, the warmth of the mug in your hands, and the flavor on your tongue. 
Or, during a walk, pay attention to the rustle of leaves, the coolness of the air, and the rhythm of your steps. 

These micro-moments of mindfulness can shift your focus away from worries and into appreciation.

Young Living’s Stress Away essential oil can amplify this practice. With its blend of lime and vanilla, this oil evokes a tropical escape, helping you 
unwind as you focus on the present. Try applying it to your wrists or diffusing it while practicing sensory awareness.

3. Create a Presence Corner

Our environments influence our state of mind more than we realize. By dedicating a small space in your home to mindfulness, you create a 
visual and physical cue to pause and reconnect. This doesn’t have to be elaborate—a favorite chair near a window, a soft blanket, or even a 
spot on the floor with a pillow will do.

Stock your space with tools that inspire presence, like a journal, a favorite essential oil, or a diffuser. Lavender and Cedarwood essential oils 
make a beautiful blend for this space, infusing the air with tranquility. Use this corner to journal your thoughts, meditate, or simply sit in silence. 

Over time, this practice can become a cherished ritual.
The beauty of presence lies in its simplicity. It doesn’t require a perfect setting or an elaborate routine. Instead, it’s about finding small, intentional ways 
to slow down and reconnect. Whether you’re pausing for a moment of deep breathing, savoring a sip of coffee, or retreating to your mindfulness corner, 
these practices remind you that life happens now.

Presence and Self-Compassion: A New Approach to Managing Stress

Stress has a way of sneaking into our lives and taking over.

Whether it’s the demands of daily life, the pressure of the holiday season, 
or unexpected challenges, it often feels relentless

Over time, this constant state of tension takes a toll—not just on our minds, but on our bodies, too. 

But what if we could meet stress with something different? Instead of reacting with
worry or self-criticism, we can embrace the power of presence and 
self-compassion to soften its impact and reclaim our sense of balance.

The Hidden Costs of Stress

Stress isn’t inherently bad—it’s a natural response designed to help us react to challenges. However, chronic stress can become harmful when it persists 
without relief. Research shows that long-term stress:

  • Raises cortisol levels, which can disrupt sleep, digestion, and immune function.
  • Increases inflammation in the body, contributing to issues like heart disease, arthritis, and fatigue.
  • Impacts mental health, leading to anxiety, depression, and difficulty concentrating.
When we’re stuck in a cycle of stress, it’s easy to spiral into self-criticism, believing we’re not doing enough. This is where the practice of presence and 
self-compassion can make a transformative difference.

A New Perspective on Stress

Presence invites us to slow down and focus on the moment instead of worrying about what’s next. Self-compassion, on the other hand, teaches us to 
treat ourselves with kindness during difficult times. Together, these practices form a powerful duo for managing stress.

The next time you feel overwhelmed, try this:

  • Pause and place a hand over your heart.
  • Take a deep breath and say, “I’m doing my best, and that’s enough.”
  • Allow yourself to feel the warmth of your hand and the comfort of the moment.
Pairing this practice with aromatherapy can deepen its effects. Apply Young Living’s Peace & Calming or Tranquil Roll-On to your wrists or 
temples before starting. These soothing blends help calm the nervous system and create a nurturing space for self-reflection.

Daily Rituals for Presence and Resilience

Building small rituals into your day can help anchor you in the present and support emotional well-being. Here are a few ideas:
  1. Morning Mindfulness
    • Begin each day with three deep breaths and set an intention. For example, “Today, I will focus on what I can control.”
    • Diffuse Valor or Frankincense during this time to foster a sense of grounding and focus.
  2. Gratitude Pause
    • Midday, reflect on three things you’re grateful for. Gratitude shifts your focus from stress to abundance, even in challenging moments.
    • Pair this practice with Young Living’s Joy essential oil for a mood-boosting experience.
  3. Evening Wind-Down
    • Turn off screens at least 30 minutes before bed and spend time journaling or meditating. Use Lavender or Cedarwood in a diffuser 
    • to signal to your body that it’s time to rest.
These simple rituals don’t just reduce stress—they also create moments of presence and self-care throughout the day.

Supporting Your Body During Stress

In addition to mindfulness practices, it’s essential to support your physical well-being. Chronic stress depletes key nutrients and strains the 
body, making it harder to cope. Supplements can help fill the gaps and strengthen your resilience.

  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in Young Living’s Green Omegas, these support brain health and reduce inflammation caused by stress.
  • B Vitamins: Stress depletes B vitamins, which are vital for energy production and mental clarity. Consider Super B to restore balance.
  • Magnesium: Known as the “relaxation mineral,” magnesium calms the nervous system and supports restful sleep. The new Super Magnesium  supplement should be on your must do list.
  • Adaptogens: Herbs like ashwagandha and rhodiola help the body adapt to stress. Young Living’s Cortistop is formulated to address cortisol imbalances.
Don’t forget hydration and nourishing foods! A well-hydrated body is better equipped to handle stress, while nutrient-dense meals provide the energy 
and support your system needs to function optimally.

Finding Peace in the Present

Stress will always be a part of life, but how we respond to it can make all the difference. By weaving presence and self-compassion into your daily routine, 
you’ll build resilience and cultivate a sense of calm, no matter what comes your way. With the support of essential oils, mindful practices, and targeted 
supplements, you can create a foundation of well-being that allows you to thrive—even in challenging times.

This season, let’s choose presence over pressure and kindness over perfection. Take it one moment at a time. You’re doing great—don’t forget to remind yourself of that. 🌿

10 affirmations to help cultivate presence and relieve stress:

  1. I am grounded in this moment and at peace with where I am right now.
  2. With each breath, I release tension and invite calm into my body.
  3. I am present, focused, and fully engaged in the beauty of now.
  4. It’s safe to let go of worry; I trust myself to handle what comes.
  5. I give myself permission to pause, rest, and recharge.
  6. I am resilient, and I approach challenges with grace and calm.
  7. My mind is clear, my body is relaxed, and my spirit is at ease.
  8. I honor this moment as an opportunity to feel calm and connected.
  9. I choose to focus on what I can control and release what I cannot.
  10. I am enough, and my best effort today is more than enough.






December's Spotlight- Present Time Essential Oil Blend


Say hello to your new daily personal fragrance - Present Time essential oil blend! This lightly sweet, grounded oil blend is uplifting and helps you find full presence in the moment at hand! Nerolis, Spruce and Ylang ylang combine for a perfectly balanced blend that smells amazing and helps you find your full potential.

JUST A DROP OF PRESENT TIME

* Has a floral, uplifting aroma that makes a wonderful personal fragrance

* Helps you find presence in the current moment so you can create the life you desire

* A featured oil blend in the Feelings Kit Collection

* Contains Neroli, a valuable oil that is uplifting and promotes feelings of peace and confidence

Present Time was created to help you be in the moment. This blend of Neroli, Black Spruce, Ylang Ylang, and sweet almond oil helps reduce psychological stress to create a feeling of being fully present. Being in the present time is the key to progressing and moving forward, helping to create the life you desire! If you feel you are living in the past or focusing on the future, this oil encourages you to be in the now.

PRESENT TIME & EMOTIONS

Present Time helps you focus on the here and now, so you can get beyond the past and move forward. When paired with other emotional support oils, this is a powerful tool for truly being present with your current experiences and releasing the pain of the past.

Neroli is steam distilled from orange blossoms and is the most lovely, uplifting aroma. Neroli was used by the ancient Egyptians for the healing of mind, body and spirit. It is stabilizing and strengthening to the emotions, promotes peace, confidence and awareness, and brings mental awareness to alleviate anxiety, depression and insomnia.

Spruce is a powerful emotional tool. This oil helps us to open and release emotional blocks and helps foster a sense of balance and grounding.

Ylang Ylang essential oil promotes relaxation, balances male and female energies, restores confidence and equilibrium, and alleviates insomnia, which often occurs when we are repressing emotions.

This blend of oils creates a strong, encouraging scent to increase the ability to focus on the present moment. As busy men and women, parents, care givers, employees, etc. we can become so focused on the next deadline, task or responsibility, and it becomes very easy to lose sight of what is directly in front of us. The stack of papers or dishes or laundry seems so time sensitive that we rush through the people in front of us - children, spouses, partners, friends, even ourselves.

Present Time helps us to allow ourselves to give and receive in the present even when we have been hurt in the past.

Wear this oil as a perfume each day. Apply over the wrists, chest and throat. You can even place a drop on the crown of the head!

Diffuse Present Time as you walk through visualizations, journal or simply sit quietly and think through your feelings.

Apply or diffuse Present Time during intentional time with family, significant other and other relationships you want to cultivate.

The Science of Presence: Why Living in the Moment Boosts Well-Being

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to live on autopilot—rushing from one task to the next, constantly planning ahead or rehashing the past. Yet, amidst the busyness, there’s a simple and transformative tool we often overlook: presence. Being fully in the moment isn’t just a poetic ideal; it’s a scientifically proven way to boost your mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
In this article, we’ll explore the profound impact of presence on our health and offer practical strategies to cultivate it, so you can experience its benefits in your daily life.

Why Presence Matters

When we’re fully present, we’re not just existing—we’re living. Research shows that mindfulness, a state of non-judgmental awareness of the present moment, offers a host of benefits:
  • Reduces Stress: Presence lowers cortisol, the stress hormone, helping the body relax and recover from daily pressures.
  • Improves Physical Health: Regular mindfulness practices are linked to lower blood pressure, improved immune function, and reduced inflammation.
  • Enhances Emotional Well-Being: By focusing on the now, we can break free from the cycle of worry and regret, fostering a greater sense of peace.
  • Strengthens Relationships: Being present helps us truly listen, connect, and engage with the people we care about.
The science behind presence is compelling, but its beauty lies in its simplicity. It doesn’t require expensive tools or hours of effort—just a commitment to show up for the moment.

Simple Steps to Cultivate Presence

Building presence into your daily routine can be both practical and transformative. Here’s how you can get started:
  1. Mindful Eating
    • Instead of rushing through meals, pause to truly savor the experience. Notice the colors, textures, and flavors of your food. Put your fork down between bites and take the time to chew slowly.
    • Enhance with Young Living: Use a drop of Lemon Vitality in your water to awaken your senses before a meal, helping you focus on the moment.
  2. Walking Meditation
    • Take a short walk, whether in nature or your neighborhood, and pay attention to each step. Feel the ground beneath your feet, notice the sounds around you, and breathe deeply.
    • Enhance with Young Living: Apply Peppermint or Eucalyptus essential oil to your wrists before your walk for a refreshing and invigorating boost.
  3. Digital Detox
    • Commit to screen-free times, such as during meals or an hour before bed. Use this time to journal, connect with loved ones, or simply sit in stillness.
    • Enhance with Young Living: Diffuse Lavender and Cedarwood to create a calming atmosphere for your detox time.

Presence and Stress Relief

Stress often pulls us away from the moment, leaving us trapped in overthinking and overwhelm. Presence, on the other hand, invites us to pause, breathe, and reset. Here’s why it works:
  • Breaks the Cycle of Overthinking: When we focus on the now, we’re less likely to get caught up in the “what-ifs” and “should-haves.”
  • Activates the Relaxation Response: Presence shifts the nervous system out of “fight or flight” mode and into “rest and digest.”
  • Promotes Emotional Regulation: By observing our thoughts and feelings without judgment, we gain clarity and perspective.
Pairing mindfulness with essential oils can deepen its calming effects. Oils like Frankincense, known for its grounding properties, and Stress Away, with its soothing tropical aroma, are perfect companions for stress relief practices.

Nourishing the Body and Mind

Stress depletes the body of vital nutrients, making it harder to stay balanced and present. Supplements can play a crucial role in supporting mental and physical resilience:
  • Super B: A blend of essential B vitamins to boost energy and reduce mental fatigue.
  • NingXia Red: Packed with antioxidants, this nutrient-dense drink helps combat oxidative stress and supports overall vitality.
  • OmegaGize³: Provides omega-3 fatty acids and CoQ10 to support brain health and reduce inflammation.
  • Cortistop: Formulated to address cortisol imbalances, this supplement helps the body recover from prolonged stress.
By nourishing your body, you create a foundation that supports mindfulness and well-being.

The Transformative Power of Presence

When we practice presence, we open ourselves to life’s small joys: the warmth of sunlight on our skin, the laughter of a loved one, or the stillness of a quiet evening. These moments, though fleeting, are what truly nourish our souls.
Presence isn’t about erasing stress but about meeting it with grace. It reminds us that we don’t have to solve every problem or rush to the next task—we just have to be.
This December, as the world rushes around you, choose to slow down. Choose presence. Choose peace. 🌿




 2025 is Right on the Horizon -- Time to Ask "Did I Get Where I Wanted To?"


As we approach the end of 2024 and look toward 2025, it’s a natural time to pause and reflect.

Did you achieve the goals you set for yourself this year? 

What went well, and what held you back? 

If you’re feeling like 2024 didn’t go quite as planned, you’re not alone. 

With costs rising—food, gas, everything—it’s easy to feel like you’re stuck in a never-ending cycle, just trying to keep up. 

Many people I know have struggled to make ends meet, cutting expenses wherever they can, but still feeling like it’s not enough.


The truth is, in an economy like this, cutting back alone won’t get you ahead. You have to find ways to earn more—and that often means working harder. 

But is that the solution? If your health or relationships are taking a hit, then it’s clear something needs to change.

I’ve been there. I know exactly how it feels to be overwhelmed by the weight of it all. But here’s the thing—it doesn’t have to be this way.


What if 2025 could look different? What if there was a way to have meaningful work, a paycheck that grows as you grow, a community of like-minded people, and time for your family without the constant stress and distractions?

When I found Young Living, I saw an opportunity to do life differently. I saw people building businesses that aligned with their values, preserving family time, and prioritizing sanity. 

I found a company that truly supports its partners, respects the work they do, and continues to evolve to make success achievable for everyone. And with one of the most generous compensation plans, plus a strong community and incredible products, Young Living makes it easier than ever to thrive.

No startup fee. No yearly membership. No need to keep stock. Just support, opportunity, and a chance to create the future you want.

Unlike other companies that have shut out their builders, Young Living is doubling down on its commitment to its partners. 

At Convention this year, Mary Young reaffirmed the power of this business model—we are better together.

So, as we close out 2024, ask yourself: What will 2025 look like for you? 

If you want a different outcome, it’s time to make a change.

If you’re ready to build a different future, let’s talk. PM me.

What if 2025 could look different? What if there was a way to have meaningful work, a paycheck that grows as you grow, a community of like-minded people, and time for your family without the constant stress and distractions?



December 11th 2024 - 630PM PDT-- Sweet Sleep

Do you sleep well?
Do you wake up ready for the day?
Do you toss and turn?
Do you worry your way through the night?
Are you relying on sleep aids that leave you groggy and affect your health?
Are you ready to truly rest?

We spend one third of our life sleeping, so we know that sleep is essential for our health. It is clearly something our bodies need! Yet, so many of us struggle in some way in this area. 

We don’t sleep enough.
We wake up throughout the night.
We have trouble falling asleep.
We have trouble functioning because we’re tired.

Well, those days are going to be in the past because we are about to dive into the sweet, life-changing magic of sleep.

We are talking about true rest for your body.
We are talking about true rest for your mind.
We are talking about physical and emotional rest that helps you live your healthiest life
Doesn’t that sound amazing?! 
Sleep is so crucial for our health



December 18 th 2024 630 PM PDT --Reducing Inflammation, Improving Wellness

More than ever, health care systems are being overwhelmed as the population ages

We hear all the time about cancer, heart attacks and strokes but increasingly we are hearing about the negative impact inflammation has on our bodies and overall health

This class is meant to highlight some supports you can use to increase your overall wellbeing by reducing the inflammation present in your body. 
More than ever, health care systems are being overwhelmed as the population ages

December 29th, 2024 2 PM PDT -- Year End Reflection Protocol

As we close 2024, let’s take a moment to reflect with honesty and love. This is a time to honour our growth, forgive what didn’t go as planned, and embrace acceptance for all that was. By releasing old burdens, we create balance and make space for the year ahead. Reflection isn’t about dwelling on the past; it’s about learning from it and setting intentions for the 2025 we desire. Let’s step forward lighter, clearer, and ready to align with our true potential. Together, we’ll welcome the new year with open hearts and the clarity to make it extraordinary.

AND AS ALWAYS - if you are interested in a SPECIFIC class let's talk about you hosting one and I will teach it for you!

Welcome November !

“Fallen leaves lying on the grass in the November sun bring more happiness 
than the daffodils.” — Cyril Connolly

There is so much to learn from November.  It offers a valuable lesson in 
embracing darkness and finding comfort in stillness. 

As the days grow shorter, nature invites us to slow down and turn inward. 
This period of darkness is an opportunity to reflect, rest, and focus on 
personal growth. 

The Danish concept of hygge—which emphasizes creating cozy, warm, 
and inviting spaces—resonates with this season. Simple practices like 
dimming lights, enjoying warm drinks, and spending time with loved 
ones embody hygge and help us find beauty in these quieter, colder days. 

November encourages us to honor the need for introspection while embracing the warmth and connection 
found in intentional moments. By releasing the pressure to be constantly active, we can appreciate the wisdom
 in letting go, trusting that the darkness holds the seeds for future renewal and creativity.

This mindset helps us cultivate resilience, self-compassion, and a deeper appreciation for life’s cycles. Let's 
investigate this Hygge in more detail below.

Embracing Winter’s Wisdom

       
           
Written By Aleen Raybin
             
Before I understood winter's magic, I used to associate it with loneliness and low energy. Little did I know that winter holds a profound opportunity for introspection and transformation.

❄️ Winter's Wisdom

Winter invites us to turn inward, with the chance to reflect on our past. The natural world slows down, reminding us to honor the quieter rhythms within us. Winter symbolizes the potential for inner transformation and encourages communal support in the spirit of warmth and togetherness. 

🌌 Nurturing the Inner Flame

Find strength in nurturing your inner flame. This light is a source of wisdom, resilience, and creativity. Cozy up with a good book, engage in mindful meditation, or savor a warm cup of tea.

🌬️ Embracing the Stillness 

Winter beckons us to embrace stillness. In the quiet moments, discover the depth of your inner reservoirs. Find beauty in the simplicity of a snowfall, the crackling of a fire, or the gentle rhythm of your breath.

🌑 Honoring the Dark and the Rebirth 

Approaching the peak of darkness, remember that within the womb of the night, new beginnings gestate. Embrace the darkness as a sacred space for rebirth and renewal.

May this winter be a season of profound connection, self-discovery, and the nurturing of your inner flame. Embrace the beauty of the waning light, for within the darkness lies the promise of a radiant dawn. 🌌🌟

Let the season replenish your spirit. 💤❄️

We need each other.

It's hygge season: How to embrace the Danish lifestyle of rest and coziness


   
By Andee Tagle  &  Malaka Gharib    
  
                                  

For many people, autumn is synonymous with hygge — the Danish concept often translated as a feeling of coziness. The cooler weather makes people want to snuggle up with a good book or watch a movie marathon under a blanket on the couch. 
   
But it can be hard to slow down in our fast-paced world, says Tricia Hersey, author of the book Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto. Too often, we only let ourselves rest after we've checked everything off our to-do list and completely exhausted ourselves, she says. 
   
Rest, however, is a "divine human right" that shouldn't require explanation or justification, says Hersey. It's "not frivolous and it's not a luxury. It's something that allows us to tap into our creativity and imagination and heal our bodies." 
 
There are many ways to embrace your right to rest, unplug and get hygge this fall season, whether it's in bed, in the kitchen or in your favorite cozy nook in the house. Here are 11 comforting ideas from Life Kit to inspire you.
   

Give yourself a break

   
Unplug from the internet. Run an errand or go for a walk without bringing your phone. Or try putting your phone in another room while you cook dinner or watch TV. This episode has more great tips on how to unplug from a screen.
   
Put a 'rest day' on your calendar. Hersey says she puts a "rest day" on her calendar every week. On rest days, "I don't look at my email. I don't respond to anything work-related. I lay around the house," she says. "I don't engage in any type of labor outside of what feels good to me."
   
Let go of that feeling of FOMO. When you find yourself thinking the grass is greener on the other side, remind yourself why you're watering yours. "Maybe [you chose to stay in] because you had a long week and you need to recharge with some alone time. Or maybe you have an early start the next day. Whatever the reason might be, it's important to remember that as humans, we live by making a series of trade-offs," says Aarti Gupta, clinical director at TherapyNest in Palo Alto, Calif.
      

Indulge yourself

   
Spend the morning reading in bed. Lynn Neary has been covering books for NPR for over a decade. In our episode on how to get into a reading habit, she told us: "I love to lie in bed and read — particularly on weekend mornings." It's a good way to start your day and you're less likely to fall asleep while reading, she adds.
   
Create a home theater. Devika Girish, co-deputy editor of Film Comment Magazine, explains what you'll need to mimic the immersive experience of a movie theater at home. Watch the film on the biggest screen available to you (if you can, get a projector). Get some blankets. And fix yourself some snacks. Girish particularly loves munching on crisped chickpeas and popcorn and sipping a hot cup of cider while watching movies.
   

Eat a comforting meal

   
Cook this one-pan cheesy baked pasta dish. Food writer Melissa Clark loves cooking easy meals for her family with just one pan. This tactic, she says, can help reduce the time we spend cooking and cleaning — and leave us with more time for lounging. Try her recipe for this comforting baked pasta with tomato, sausage and ricotta.
   
Bake a prettier pie. Baker Lauren Ko has a step-by-step guide on how to make a spoke-shaped design on top of a pie. Place a circle-shaped cookie cutter in the center of an unbaked pie. Then take strips of dough and lay it across the pie, around the cutter, in increments of half an inch. "The optical illusion of the full design inspires a curved effect," she says — and a pie crust that will be sure to impress your guests.
   
Add this secret ingredient to your soup. Sohla El-Waylly, chef and author of Start Here: Instructions For Becoming A Better Cook, shares her secret superhero ingredient for making good soup: a pinch of MSG. It adds "a little bit of savory depth that makes you want to keep eating more."

  

Make time for reflection

   
Rotate out the cherished mementos on your bookshelves. The items you display in your house "are reminders of what you value about yourself and how you live your life," says Sally Augustin, an environmental psychologist and principal at Design With Science. But they can make a home look busy or cluttered. Augustin's solution? Think of these items as a visiting exhibit that you can swap out every month. Replace a photo of you and your mom with a more recent one. Or, swap the knick-knack you brought home from a vacation with a painting that a friend made you.
   
Make an ancestral altar. Create a place in your home to honor beloved family members and friends who have passed away. Display family heirlooms or tchotchkes that represent each ancestor. These things "carry an energetic signature that connects with our sense of history and our imagination, which will give us the parts of [our] history that may have been lost," says Camara Meri Rajabari, a psychotherapist who helps Black, Indigenous and people of color explore their ancestral roots.
   
Write a thank you letter to a loved one. Think of someone in your life who you have not had the chance to thank, says Christina Costa, a psychologist who has studied the positive effects of gratitude on the brain. "Why are you grateful for that person? Think of a specific instance when they helped you. Then send them a letter, an email, or even better, deliver the letter in person and read it to them." Studies have found that giving thanks and counting blessings can help people sleep better, lower stress and improve interpersonal relationships.





November's Spotlight- Winter Nights Essential Oil Blend


Winter Nights essential oil blend is a winter staple! This combination of Northern Lights Black Spruce, Peppermint, Cedarwood, and Orange is crisp and cool and reminiscent of  softly falling snow. 

Winter Nights fills your home with the peace of crisp midnight air in winter, and the warmth of cozy spaces, making it perfect for the winter season (or anytime of year really)!


JUST A DROP OF WINTER NIGHTS...

* Has a fresh, woodsy aroma

* Creates an uplifting, relaxing, serene environment

* Invites the peaceful feeling of cozy winter nights into your home

* A wonderful addition to DIYs

* Can be used with massage for a relaxing, invigorating experience

* Contains Northern Lights Black Spruce

Winter Nights essential oil blend is THE oil for the winter season! Not only is the aroma crisp and cool and comforting, this blend contains both Cedarwood and Northern Lights Black Spruce - both of which are ‘tree' oils. Tree oils are a favorite this time of year for good reason. 

They are calming and grounding for the emotions, they have immune support properties, and they can help support the body's natural response to pain and inflammation. Add in the muscle and joint support of Peppermint and the bright, happy aroma of Orange, and this blend definitely sounds like something we want to keep on and around our bodies this time of year!

BACKGROUND

Young Living's exclusive Winter Nights essential oil blend features Northern Lights Black Spruce essential oil, produced exclusively at the Northern Lights Farm and Distillery in British Columbia, Canada. 

Established in 2014, this farm remains a pristine landscape to grow and harvest the botanical for one of Young Living's most-beloved essential oils. Orange, produced at the Amanzi Amahle Cooperative Farm in South Africa, and Peppermint, produced at the Labbeemint Partner Distillery in Washington, USA, join to add some brightness and effervescence to the Winter Nights blend and to elevate the foresty notes of Black Spruce and Cedarwood.

“Hygge”: The Danish Concept of Comfort We Need Now More Than Ever                        

The Scandinavian term encompasses a feeling of coziness, contentment, and well-being found through cherishing the little things


It wasn’t that long ago that the Danish concept of hygge became a popular fixture of the global lexicon. Between 2016 and 2017 alone, more than 30 books were published on the subject of Denmark’s “cozy” way of life, and major publications like the New York Times and the Guardian issued hefty think pieces about the topic while nearly every candle, blanket, and leisurewear company used the term to market their products. 

The Danish word even landed on the 2016 shortlist for Oxford’s Word of the Year, which annually highlights the most widely used expressions that “have lasting potential [for] cultural significance.”

That the Nordic concept of hygge reached a level of international fascination during the time of Brexit in the United Kingdom and Trump’s presidential election in the United States is fitting. The concept, which is rooted in comfort, togetherness, and well-being, is inherently soothing. 

During times of upheaval, when both public and personal perceptions of safety and community are at risk, it’s common to yearn for some of the senses that hygge evokes. Now, in another period of global uncertainty, it feels appropriate to revisit the term. Here’s everything you need to know about the Danish concept of hygge, including how you can embrace aspects of the lifestyle in this moment, when many of us likely need it.

What does hygge mean?

Hygge (pronounced “hoo-gah”) is defined by The Oxford English Dictionary as “a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being, regarded as a defining characteristic of Danish culture.” 

While the Danish word can’t be directly translated in English, it suggests a general sense of comfort, charm, simplicity, and community. (It’s similar to the German idea of gemütlichkeit, the Dutch term gezelligheid, and the Swedish word mys.) 

The concept of hygge can be traced back to the early 1800s in Denmark, explains Dane Meik Wiking, founder of Copenhagen’s Happiness Research Institute, in his New York Times best seller The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living (William Morrow, 2017). While the notion of hygge is most central in Denmark, the term actually derives from a Norwegian word, hugga, which loosely means “to comfort,” and is also related to the English word “hug.”
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
Hygge comes from a sixteenth-century Norwegian word.


How do Scandinavians hygge?
In The Little Book of Hygge, Wiking, whose think tank revolves around exploring the causes and effects of human happiness, lays out the primary principles of hygge in Denmark, which include atmosphere, presence (the ability to be focused in the now), pleasure, gratitude, comfort, and togetherness. 

The concept of hygge is about gratitude and savoring the simple pleasures that bring you joy, according to Wiking.

Danes practice the concept year round, whether by enjoying dinner in the backyard in summer or sipping tea by the fireplace during winter, which in Scandinavia is typically very long, cold, and filled with dark days. But hygge isn’t just for Danes—it’s practiced in neighboring Nordic countries such as Norway and Sweden, too. (Swedes, however, use their own word to describe this notion, as previously mentioned: mys.) 

Despite the harsh weather, all of the Scandinavian nations regularly rank among the world’s happiest countries according to the World Happiness Report, an annual survey that lists countries based on how happy their citizens perceive themselves to be. (In 2022, Denmark followed just behind Finland, which scored the top spot.)

However, as Wiking noted in a 2018 interview with Elle UK, it’s important to recognize that Scandinavians might be freer to pursue the simple pleasures in life because many Nordic countries ensure that the basic needs of their citizens are met, providing things like free university education, social security, universal health care, and paid family leave—something Americans don’t have access to.

Still, hygge can mean something different to everyone: Simple comfort is—by nature—a matter of subjectivity. When you’re hunkered down with a soft blanket and the book you’ve been meaning to read, that can be considered hygge. If you’re looking through a window on a clear day and feel your face warm in the sunlight, that can be considered hygge, too. 

Maybe it’s a night spent indoors with friends and a table full of board games. After all, more important than what hygge looks like is what it feels like. To some, hygge is most associated with Christmas or the winter holidays—a time when slowing down, enjoying the company of loved ones, and taking a moment for fun is wholeheartedly encouraged.

What are the tenets of a hygge lifestyle?

For Norwegian chef Signe Johansen, author of How to Hygge: The Nordic Secrets to a Happy Life (St. Martin’s Griffin, 2017), the concept of hygge can often be linked to specific food and drinks, such as cardamom twists (Swedish pastry buns) or gløgg, a Scandinavian mulled wine with cardamom pods and star anise. In Hygge: The Danish Art of Happiness (Michael Joseph, 2017), Danish author Marie Tourell Søderberg points to household items that are commonly considered hyggelig (the adjective form), among them candles, fireplaces, hand-knit throw blankets, and wool felt slippers. 
   
In Danish, a few words refer to items that evoke a sense of hygge. Hyggebukser, for example, means the pair of pants you practically live in when relaxing at home, and a hyggekrog is often used in reference to a cozy nook or favorite armchair. Combine hygge with the Danish word for socks (sokker) and you have hyggesokker, or impossibly comfortable socks. Place it in front of the Danish word for chat (snak) to make hyggesnak, which alludes to charming small talk.

While the Danish concept of hygge is frequently associated with consumer objects like candles and blankets, most Danes (and other Nordic neighbors) maintain that practicing a hygge lifestyle doesn’t necessarily equate to buying more. Outdoor activities like bike rides, woodland walks, and stargazing are all considered hyggelig. Even indoors, you can embrace the concept of hygge by brewing a hot cup of coffee and calling your friends and family to chat, or starting to piece together a puzzle in the living room. When you’re feeling particularly inspired, you can cook a dish you’ve never tried before or start an arts and craft endeavor, such as a scrapbook, with whatever you have available.

The most important aspect to embrace about Denmark’s “cozy” lifestyle might be summarized most succinctly in The Book of Hygge: The Danish Art of Contentment, Comfort, and Connection (Plume, 2017) by Danish English author Louisa Thomsen Brits. At its core, Brits writes, hygge is just “a practical way of creating sanctuary in the middle of very real life.” 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

The health benefits of hygge

There are very real health benefits associated with embracing the hygge lifestyle (aside from being happier, overall). According to the Thrive Center, a group focused on providing mental health services, being cozy can help promote feeling safe and comfortable. 

Very Well also cites that being cozy can help boost feelings of self-worth and optimism, as well as self-compassion. The effects can be more than short-lived: When stress levels decrease, less energy is spent scanning for potential dangers . . . and better sleep follows. And who doesn’t love that



Two Months to 2025 -- Time to Ask "Did I Get Where I Wanted To?"


So how is 2024 going so far?

   Food costs way more. Gas costs way more. Everything costs way more.  So many people I know are barely making ends meet and they are struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel. They are trying to cut their expenses to make a difference - and that hurts.
   
   The reality is you can never cut your expenses far enough down to really get ahead in an economy like this. You HAVE to earn more income.
   
    So you work more.
   
    You  might even be working so much your health or relationships are being impacted.  
   
You know you are better than this.
   
    I know exactly how this feels!  
   
   Well it doesn't HAVE to be this way!
   
   There IS a way to do life differently -- have work  that fulfills you with a paycheck that can go up as you get good at the  work. You get a community of people all goal oriented and working smart.  You get time for your family without needing to check phone, emails, texts  and put out fires.
   
   If you think you are stuck in the  9-5 til you can hopefully retire-- I have good news for you!
   
   When I chose Young Living, I saw people working in a way that preserved their family life and their sanity. I saw a corporation that  respected and honoured its business partners and didn't allow its products to be sold on Amazon or by retailers. I saw a company that was always evolving to make the business more relatable and achievable
   
    A Company with one of the most generous compensation plans around, loads of  support and community, and some of the finest quality products, Young  Living makes it easy to be successful.  
   
    No start up fee. No yearly membership. No need for stock.  

Young Living has doubled-down on their business model unlike multiple other companies who have shut out their business builders this past year after years of them building up a team. 

Founder Mary Young took to the stage at Convention in July and re-committed to the business model and made a pledge to all of us -- we are better together! 

So If you want 2025 to look different than 2024, if you want to work towards different outcomes, you have to do things differently.

Welcome October!

“October is a fallen leaf, but it is also the wider horizon more clearly seen.” Hal Borlan

October is a month of truths. Truth that summer is done. Truth that Winter is creeping in. Truth that there is so much beauty in the
world that it almost makes you cry.

For some people it is a time of mourning as you don't do well in less light and cooler temps. For others you rejoice in the crispness of the air and the clearness of the view. 

One thing is for certain - October is a portal month - opening the way into festival seasons, feasts, gatherings and the final touches of harvest. 

It is a month of looking forward as the year draws to a close, a month of re-assessing our path now that the leaves are not obscuring it so much, and a season of challenging ourselves to act like a tree and transform ourselves into something different from what we have been. 

October is a month of optimism and beauty -- I wish both for you! 
Chris

7 Health Benefits from Cutting Out Sugar


         
There are two main types of sugar in the human diet: naturally occurring sugar and added sugar. You can consume sugar already found in foods like fruit and milk or added sugar in processed or prepared foods and drinks.

 Deciding to cut back on your added sugar intake is no easy task. However, the benefits of cutting out sugar may include improved oral or heart health, weight reduction, and more.

 It's also important to know that, though sugar isn't often considered a "healthy" food, eating it in moderation is fine. Keep reading to learn more.


 

  Is It Healthy To Completely Cut Out Sugar?  

 Technically, it would be healthy to cut out added sugars completely, but cutting out all sugar wouldn't be.

Removing sugar completely can eliminate some healthy food options from your diet. Though sugar can be added to foods and drinks, sugar also exists naturally in fruits, milk, and vegetables.

It's not necessary to eliminate your entire sugar intake. Instead, you'll want to eat added sugar in moderation: Added sugars should make up less than 10% of your daily calories.

That can look like no more than:
  • Six teaspoons, or 100 calories, of added sugar for women
  • Nine teaspoons, or 150 calories, of added sugar for men

  How Long Does It Take to Detox from Sugar?  

There's not a lot of specific research about the length of time it would take to help your body get used to not having sugar. However, it may depend on how much you are used to consuming foods and drinks with added sugar.

For example, if you normally don't consume a lot of added sugar, you might be fine after a few days. If you're used to having added sugar in your diet more frequently, it may take longer for your body to adjust.

  Effects of Not Eating Sugar for a Month  

 Like in the case of a sugar detox, the effects of eliminating sugar for a month would likely depend on an individual basis.

One possible effect could be lower energy levels if you cut out all sugar. Sugars are a carbohydrate, a macronutrient broken down to make glucose—the body's primary energy source.

Giving up sugar might affect your mood. When you eat sugar, your brain releases endorphins and dopamine—hormones that make you feel good in the moment.
If you're used to feeling that way due to sugar intake, it's possible that it could negatively impact your emotions.

Some people may try to stop eating sugar on the spot. By not doing it gradually, they might find it challenging not to consume foods or drinks with added sugar later.

If you decide to cut back on added sugar, there are a few benefits. Talk with a registered dietitian first for guidance and more information about this approach.

  1. Aids in Weight Management  

 Staying below the recommended daily amounts for added sugar is unlikely to cause weight gain. However, research has shown that diets high in added sugar are associated with obesity.

In particular, diets high in added sugar are linked to belly fat. Also known as visceral fat, belly fat wraps around your abdominal organs. It is related to chronic diseases, including diabetes and heart disease.

For your long-term health, limit sugar-sweetened foods and beverages. Choose options low in added sugar, such as sparkling water, fruits, and vegetables. This can help you manage your weight and reduce belly fat.

  2. Helps Regulate Your Blood Sugar  

Insulin resistance happens when the pancreas releases lots of the hormone insulin to keep up with excess sugar in your bloodstream.10 It can lead to prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
Several studies have found that people who frequently consume sugar-sweetened beverages have an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Reducing added sugar intake, exercising, and following a healthy diet can improve insulin sensitivity. Insulin-sensitive cells require less insulin to absorb blood sugar. This can help
 regulate your blood sugar levels and decrease your risk for diabetes.

  3. Helps Your Heart Health  

Added sugars are both indirectly and directly linked to heart disease. Diets with greater than 20% of total calories from added sugars are associated with high levels of triglycerides, a type of blood fat. 
Elevated triglycerides can boost your risk for heart disease.

Even if you are already at a healthy weight, reducing your added sugar intake can help keep your blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides at healthy levels. This can also decrease your risk for heart disease.

  4. Improves Your Oral Health  

Sugar breakdown by bacteria in your mouth can produce an acid that destroys the surface of teeth, causing dental cavities. Too much bacteria can also lead 
to infected or inflamed gums, resulting in gum disease.

Reducing the amount of added sugar in your diet to less than 10% of your total calories each day can reduce your risk of developing cavities.

 Regardless of your sugar intake, you should practice good oral hygiene by:

  • Brushing your teeth twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste
  • Flossing daily
  • Visiting a dentist at least once a year

  5. May Lower Your Risk of Depression  

What we eat may affect how our brain functions, thus impacting our mood. For example, a lower risk of depressive symptoms is associated with eating foods 
like fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains.5

Several studies have also suggested that sugary beverages are linked to a higher risk of depressive symptoms and depression. However, other studies have found 
no relationship between sugar intake and depression risk. More research is needed to examine how sugar can affect your mood.

  6. May Reduce Acne and Improve Skin Health  

 Too much sugar means you can experience body-wide inflammation and increased production of sebum, an oily skin substance. Acne can be the result of too much sebum.

Cutting back on added sugar might also help slow your skin from aging. Sugar and grilled, fried, or roasted foods might contain more substances that react with the collagen and elastic fibers in your skin.

  7. Reduces Your Risk of Liver Disease  

Studies show excessive added sugar is linked to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This type of liver disease is unrelated to:

  • Alcohol
  • Heavy metal poisoning
  • A viral infection

It's your liver's job to break down fructose, a type of added sugar. Excess fructose—particularly from sweetened beverages—that reaches the liver is turned into fat. Eventually, 
when too much fat is stored in the liver, you can develop Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

 However, reducing your added sugar intake can help reduce your risk for liver disease.

Trying to cut out sugar but not sweetness?
 Try these alternatives
There are a variety of options for you to choose from when it comes to using a 
substitute sweetener in your diet. 


Some recommendations we would suggest would be to remain cautious of using 
them in large quantities. 

Many can have negative side effects while some side effects are still unknown 
in relation to long term use. 

It is important to gauge your body’s reactions and how you adjust when you 
introduce a new substitute sweetener. 

If you do notice certain negative side effects, it’s likely best to dial back on its use.

Something to take note of is how consuming these substitute sweeteners can 
affect your cravings. 

They have been known to increase cravings for sweets, therefore, moderation is key. 
Given the research and studies 
that have been conducted surrounding all substitute sweeteners regarding calories 
per gram, sweetness, impact on blood sugar level, taste and use in cooking and baking, 
Stevia comes out on top as the best substitute sweetener. 

If it weren’t for monk fruits substantial cost, we would regard monk fruit as the best 
substitute sweetener. It is likely, however, that we will see monk fruit emerge more and
more in its use throughout foods in the upcoming years.




8 Things That Happen to Your Body When You Eat Sugar   

       
            
By Anthea Levi / Health.com

We all know to go easy on the sweet stuff, but what actually happens to your system when you indulge? Here, eight ways sugar affects your body.

Your brain suffers

Fructose—the sugar that naturally occurs in fruit and is a component, with glucose, of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and table sugar—lights up the brain’s reward center, says pediatric endocrinologist Robert Lustig, MD, of UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital in San Francisco. But over time, a diet packed with fructose (especially from HFCS) can make it tougher to learn and remember, animal research suggests. To stay in peak mental shape, try sticking with savory snacks.

You want to eat more

By revving the brain’s reward and appetite center, fructose can interfere with feelings of satiety, research reveals. Translation: That extra cookie may not curb your craving after all.

Skin ages faster

Too much sugar can hinder the repair of collagen, the buzzed-about protein that keeps skin looking plump, studies show. A steady diet of sugary treats can result in reduced elasticity and premature wrinkles. Indulge your sweet tooth with fruit instead. Experts say it’s A-OK to eat two to four servings of the natural sugar source each day.
   


Excess sugar is stored as fat

Pause before you slip that additional packet into your a.m. coffee. The liver has an innate capacity to metabolize sugar and use it for energy—but only to an extent, explains Dr. Lustig. The fructose that’s left over is converted into fat in the liver, raising your risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Your cells pay a steep price

Fructose accelerates the usual oxidation process in our cells, says Dr. Lustig. The result? Proteins, tissues, and organs can become damaged, and our risk of health conditions, including liver disease, kidney failure, and cataracts, rises.

You get hooked

Eating sugar leads to the release of dopamine, the neurotransmitter that makes us like something and want more of it. “As dopamine receptor neurons get overstimulated, the number of receptors to bind to decreases, so you’ll need a bigger hit of dopamine to get the same rush,” explains Dr. Lustig.

Stress eating begets stress

Sweets can lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the near term, research shows. But continue OD’ing on sugary refined carbs and your risk of insulin resistance, which stresses the body from the inside, goes up. To find your calm, sweat instead: “Exercise is the best treatment for stress. It makes you feel good and reduces cortisol,” says Dr. Lustig.

Energy surges, then bottoms out

Refined carbs, like those in white bread and pasta, quickly cause a rise in glucose in the bloodstream, so you might feel extra energized—for a while. But this short-term fix can actually leave you more sluggish later on (when you eventually crash). Instead, opt for protein-rich snacks between meals, such as Greek yogurt with fresh berries or fresh veggies and hummus. They help stabilize blood sugar and keep you going longer.

 200PV // LONGEVITY 15 ml
Longevity softgels are a potent, proprietary blend of fat-soluble antioxidants. Longevity blend should be taken daily to strengthen the body’s systems to prevent the damaging effects of aging, diet, free radicals, pollution, and the environment.

7 Supplements to Help Stop Sugar Cravings in Their Tracks




Do you find yourself reaching for sugar-laden snacks all the time? If so, you’re not alone. Many people struggle with sugar cravings on a daily basis.  While we always suggest looking at ways to improve diet first, supplements can be a great way to help stop sugar cravings in their tracks. 

In this blog post, we will discuss 7 of the best supplements to help stop sugar cravings. Keep reading to learn more!

Protein

Protein-rich foods help to stabilise blood sugar levels and prevent sugar crashes. After a sugar crash, people tend to feel very tired and lethargic which causes them to reach for more sugar. But by eating a protein-rich diet you may be able to prevent these sugar cravings.
In fact, studies have found you can slow the release of sugar into the bloodstream by eating a high protein food alongside a sugary or high carbohydrate food. By stabilising the release of sugar, you should be able to sustain energy levels throughout the day and prevent yourself from reaching for more sugar.

Chromium

Chromium is a mineral that helps regulate blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity. Some studies have found that chromium improves insulin resistance and glucose tolerance which means it may be beneficial for people who suffer from diabetes or other sugar-related issues. However, these studies are still conflicting.
For instance, one large study of 62,000+ people found that those who were supplemented with chromium had a significantly reduced risk of type 2 diabetes. Whereas other studies have found there was no improvement in sugar levels.
Chromium has also been looked at for its use in improving mood! Studies have shown that supplementing with chromium may help reduce symptoms of depression. They also found that it may help with eating-related symptoms of depression and possibly help with carb cravings.

Gymnema Sylvestre

Gymnema sylvestre is a herb native to India and has been used medicinally since ancient times. Gymnema has traditionally been used as a sugar substitute, but recent studies have suggested that it may also reduce the appetite for sugar by suppressing the taste buds’ ability to sense sweet flavours.

One study found that gymnema sylvestre was able to reduce sugar cravings by up to 22%! This study also found that the group which was supplemented with gymnema ate 21% fewer servings of their favourite chocolate! 

So, if you’re looking for an all-natural way to reduce your sugar cravings, Gymnema Sylvestre may be the herb for you!

CoQ10

CoQ10 is an enzyme that is naturally produced in the body. But it is also available as a supplement and may help sugar cravings by improving one’s energy levels. CoQ10 works by helping the mitochondria in our cells produce energy. When we have more energy, we’re less likely to reach for sugar-laden snacks.

Studies have found that supplementing with CoQ10 may help the body metabolise carbohydrates and glucose more effectively. As a result, this may help prevent sugar crashes.

Magnesium

Magnesium is an essential mineral and is required for over 200 processes in the body. It is naturally found in foods but often we find it hard to get enough of this particular mineral from our diets alone. This is primarily due to our modern-day living but also because many soils in which we grow our fruit and vegetables are magnesium deficient.

The body requires magnesium for:
  1. supporting muscle and nerve function
  2. promote healthy bones
  3. improve exercise performance
  4. helping decrease depression and anxiety
  5. and for energy production
It is also essential for sugar metabolism and has been shown to improve blood sugar control in people with diabetes. It may also help reduce sugar cravings, especially for those who tend to eat a lot of processed foods.

Chocolate cravings in particular have been linked to magnesium deficiency. This is most likely because chocolate is high in magnesium. When the body is low or deficient in a particular mineral, it can cause the body to crave foods that are high in what it needs. So if you are finding yourself reaching for the chocolate a lot, maybe magnesium supplementation is the way to go for you.

Zinc

Zinc is another mineral that is essential for the body and is involved in many different processes. These include:
  1. helping to create DNA
  2. maintaining a healthy immune system
  3. repairing wounds
  4. and manufacturing proteins
Zinc has also been shown to be important for sugar metabolism. One study showed that zinc supplementation was able to improve blood sugar levels, insulin sensitivity and reduce liver damage in people with type II diabetes. 
Another study showed that zinc deficiency may play a role in sugar cravings. They found that when people who were deficient in zinc supplemented with it, their sugar cravings decreased significantly!

Zinc is found naturally in foods, however often we don’t eat enough of these foods to sustain our levels. Foods high in zinc include :

  • animal proteins such as red meat, poultry and seafood
  • beans and legumes
  • nuts and seeds

Vitamin Bs

B vitamins are essential for our body to function properly and they’re important for energy production. But some people don’t get enough through their diet alone. This may cause them to experience energy crashes throughout the day leading them down the path of sugar.

Vitamin B-12 for instance is found naturally in foods such as animal proteins and eggs, but many people are still deficient. Vegans and vegetarians are especially at risk of Vitamin B-12 deficiency due to the lack of animal products in their diets. 

For people who choose a plant-based diet, it’s a good idea to ensure you eat enough vegetables high in B12 such as seaweed, spirulina and chlorella. It might also be worth supplementing with a good quality B vitamin complex.

Conclusion

Sugar cravings are common and there are many things you can do to help reduce them. But if these sugar cravings keep occurring, it may be a good idea to consider supplementation as an option for you. 





Three Months to 2025 -- Time to Ask "Did I Get Where I Wanted To?"

So how is 2024 going so far?

   Food costs way more. Gas costs way more. Everything costs way more.  So many people I know are barely making ends meet and they are struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel. They are trying to cut their expenses to make a difference - and that hurts.
   
   The reality is you can never cut your expenses far enough down to really get ahead in an economy like this. You HAVE to earn more income.
   
    So you work more.
   
    You  might even be working so much your health or relationships are being impacted.  
   
    You know you are better than this.
   
    I know exactly how this feels!  
   
   Well it doesn't HAVE to be this way!
   
   There IS a way to do life differently -- have work  that fulfills you with a paycheck that can go up as you get good at the  work. You get a community of people all goal oriented and working smart.  You get time for your family without needing to check phone, emails, texts  and put out fires.
   
   If you think you are stuck in the  9-5 til you can hopefully retire-- I have good news for you!
   
   When I chose Young Living, I saw people working in a way that preserved their family life and their sanity. I saw a corporation that  respected and honoured its business partners and didn't allow its products to be sold on Amazon or by retailers. I saw a company that was always evolving to make the business more relatable and achievable
   
    A Company with one of the most generous compensation plans around, loads of  support and community, and some of the finest quality products, Young  Living makes it easy to be successful.  
   
    No start up fee. No yearly membership. No need for stock.  

Young Living has doubled-down on their business model unlike multiple other companies who have shut out their business builders this past year after years of them building up a team. 

Founder Mary Young took to the stage at Convention in July and re-committed to the business model and made a pledge to all of us -- we are better together! 

So If you want 2025 to look different than 2024, if you want to work towards different outcomes, you have to do things differently.
   
    If you are ready to work on a different future....PM me

How Can It Already Be September???

September just smells different, doesn't it?

Warmer days bring out the smell of drying grass and aging gardens. And the hint of crispness in 
the morning and evening air reminds us that these days will not last. 

Soon, cooler, shorter days will be the norm and our lives will move inside our homes.

It is also the first month of school, whether that is public or homeschool, this brings about a whole new dimension to lives and routine comes to play an important part in our health and happiness. 

So the Wellness News this month is all about helping us develop routines to relieve stress, to make us feel more productive, and help us get to our goals.


I hope this edition finds you excited for Fall and energized by the changing season. One of my favourite quotes is "In Fall, Trees show us how magnificent it is to change".

May you find the magnificence in change this month!



Chris

Why routines are good for your health


          
Having a daily routine can be a stress- and sanity-saver. 

Not only can certain repetitive actions benefit your physical health (such as regular exercise and nightly flossing), but they can also improve your mental health by reducing your stress levels.

Every time you have to make a decision, you are adding some stress to your life. 

The more decisions you have to make, the less self-control you'll have, says a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. While you can't do away with decision-making completely, creating regular rhythms can take much of the guesswork out of your day.

"Carrying out routine activities reduces stress by making the situation appear more controllable and predictable," says Indumathi Bendi, M.D., a primary care physician at Piedmont. "Preparedness is a key way to prevent stress."

Benefits of routines

According to a study by researchers at Tel Aviv University, predictable, repetitive routines are calming and help reduce anxiety. They'll also help you take control of your day and subsequently, your life.
  •  Start your day off right. Figure out what time you need to leave the house each morning and set your alarm so you have plenty of time to accomplish your at-home tasks before you hit the road. Rather than jumping from task to task, create a set routine and stick with it. You'll waste less physical energy and brain space.    
  •  Make better big decisions. Save your brainpower and focus for big decisions, like whether or not to accept a new job or purchase a home.    
  •  Sleep better. A regular bedtime routine is essential to good sleep hygiene. Turn off your electronic devices an hour before bed and avoid stressful conversations in the evenings. Instead, pick up a light read or practice a few minutes of meditation. Brush your teeth and wash your face well before your set bedtime so you get to sleep on time and wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle your day.    
  • Enjoy quality time with loved ones. Even if your family's schedule is busy, creating a weeknight family dinner routine is a great way to ensure you and your loved ones have time with each other at the end of the day. During the COVID-19 pandemic, you may be able to enjoy more regular mealtimes with family members and friends who share your home.    
  •  Have more time for activities you love. By creating an efficient, routine schedule, you'll leave room for activities you truly enjoy, like nightly walks with your spouse, a lunchtime yoga class, tending to your herb garden or reading a few chapters of a favorite book.    

How to make routines work for you 

  • Complete daily tasks at the same time each day. If there is a task you must do daily (helping the kids with homework, sending a client report, doing the dishes), complete it at the same time each day. You'll carve out enough time to finish the task and won't have to wonder about how to fit it onto your growing to-do list.    
  • Remove as many variables as possible. Does getting dressed for work leave you anxious? While you may feel like you have nothing to wear, you probably have too many options. 
  • Remember, every extra decision can create stress. Set aside a weekend afternoon to clear the clutter from your closet and pare down to good basics you can mix and match. Same goes with meals: It's perfectly fine to have four go-to weeknight meals that are easy and quick to prepare. Or make a double batch and freeze the leftovers for next week. Have an overloaded DVR? Delete a few scheduled series and only watch the shows you truly enjoy. Removing excess choices is a good strategy to apply to any area of your life, saving you time and energy.    
"When you reduce the number of decisions you have to make each day, you'll have a deeper sense of peace as well as relaxation of the mind and body," says Dr. Bendi. "Then you'll be geared up to face your other tasks."

How to Get Back Into a Routine—5 Steps to Reignite Your Healthiest Habits    

       

            
          by  Camille Styles October 2023              
           
Around here, we talk a lot about building healthy routines, from morning rituals to fitness-related. Often, the focus is on how to take that first step and get started. But today we’re taking a different approach with something we an all relate to: how to get back into a routine when *insert whatever life event* inevitably happens.
This is why I’ve never really taken to the phrase “fell off the wagon.” It implies that you might’ve done something wrong and leaves very little room for riding the waves of life, shifting priorities, or simply needing to readjust what might not be working for you. 

In this instance, the routine I fell out of and eventually came back to in a different way was my daily morning walks. Every day for over 8 months, I hit at least 12,000 steps. So what happened? A lot of life—namely a new job that didn’t allow for 2 hours of trail time, plus a small health scare that caused some physical pain. My mornings started to look a bit different, and for better or worse, my priorities shifted.



How to Get Back Into a Routine: 5 Tips to Reignite Your Rituals

If you’ve ever made a drastic shift in your routine, especially one that positively impacted your life, then this sentiment might resonate with you. I became a little bitter and resentful that I couldn’t do what my body and mind loved doing in the past. It impacted my mood and I could tell I felt a little more anxious because I wasn’t carving out as much time to tend to my body or mind. Thankfully, I didn’t sit in that feeling too long and developed a routine—a work in progress as I type this—that is bringing a lot of joy to my life. Here’s what I did to get back to it. 

Control What You Can

I didn’t have access to the amount of time I had in the past, unless I was willing to sacrifice sleep (spoiler: I wasn’t). So I controlled what I could, which varies every single day, and decided to make the most of it. Walking 12-15k steps a day was a rule I made up, and I could easily shift that into something that would still make me feel good. On the bright side, I was getting bored with that volume and less variety of movement anyway.

Remember: Routines Aren’t Linear 

In an ideal world, my routines (whatever they are) would be 100% perfect and lined up exactly as planned. But life simply doesn’t work that way. I had to remind myself that for me, a routine was something I would do MOST of the time, not ALL the time. I didn’t realize I had placed such an emphasis on total output every single day. Now I find so much freedom in doing what I can with whatever circumstances I find myself in—less time, more time, lots of travel, etc. 
I had to remind myself that for me, a routine was something I would do MOST of the time, not ALL the time.

Leave Room to Pivot

Never once in my quest to walk 12-15k steps a day did I leave an ounce of room to switch it up and try something new for movement or mindfulness. I committed to the steps and stuck with it as if I were earning a badge of honor for accomplishing this thing every day. It also didn’t give me much of an opportunity to really check in and ask if I was enjoying it or not. It became such a habit and I was operating on autopilot. While I still try to hit that number, I’m having a ton of fun making time for Pilates or a bootcamp class, which is quite different than what I was doing within my routine.

Repurpose Your Time

Nothing novel or new here, but because time was less accessible to me, I needed to get creative on how I’d utilize it. I wanted to prioritize time for movement, but also time to catch up with my family on the phone, or spend time with my partner. So the obvious move was to walk + talk and walk + connect. Same for walking to a restaurant, grocery store, or any relatively close errands, rather than driving.

Give Yourself Grace

This is probably the hardest one for me. But reminding myself that the seasons of life look different and I always have an opportunity to shift course, try something new, or pick right back up at any moment—no matter how different it looks—was extremely helpful in coming back to movement. The “I wish’s,” and “I should’ve’s” aren’t productive for me. Instead, I choose to come from a place of realizing I can always take action and be good to myself. Supporting yourself through life’s inevitable changes is a much kinder, gentler, and encouraging place to be.




September's Spotlight- Inner Boost and Balance



Inner Boost and Balance powder is our favorite way to give ourselves a boost!! 

This delicious powder is more than a multi—it's a multitasking expert that helps fill nutrition gaps while supporting healthy skin, cognitive function, cognitive aging, and energy levels. Made with B vitamins, blood orange extract, and other naturally derived nutrients, it's a simple and delicious way to boost your best self from the inside out. 

What's more, all that goodness comes in a sustainable, on-the-go pouch. Easy button!

INNER BOOST AND BALANCE AT A GLANCE

* Helps support healthy skin, digestion, energy levels, immune system, nervous system, and cognitive function

* Supports a positive outlook and emotional stress

* Helps reduce oxidative stress on the body

* Delivers a boost of essential vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, and prebiotic fiber

* Comes in a convenient and delicious blood orange stick pack

* Vegetarian-friendly, gluten-free formula is a great option for children 6 and above

According to the CDC, only 1 in 10 adults meet the daily recommended fruit and veggie intake. As a result, many Americans don't get enough essential nutrients from their diet alone, especially vitamins A, C D, E, and magnesium. And we all need a little boost when it comes to getting and maintaining a healthy mental state. Now you have a simple way to get all these essential nutrients in one convenient (and tasty!) supplement!

KEY INGREDIENTS

* Blood Orange Extract: Supports skin health and helps counteract skin hyperpigmentation, supports healthy glutathione levels, and can reduce skin sensitivity. Anthocyanins, flavanone, hydroxycinnamic acids, and ascorbic acid give it antioxidant powers with a natural citrus flavor.

* Natural B Complex: Maintains healthy energy levels, a healthy nervous system,  and cognitive function. Derived from dried quinoa sprouts, this vitamin B complex includes thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), folate (B9), and cobalamin (B12).

* Prebiotic fiber (organic agave inulin and soluble tapioca fiber): Supports healthy digestion and a healthy immune system. Agave inulin is extracted from the Agave tequilana plant, which is indigenous to Mexico. It belongs to the family of fibers known as fructans, which have prebiotic benefits.Soluble tapioca fiber is derived from tapioca starch, which comes from the edible roots of the cassava plant.

* Marine Magnesium: Provides 70+ trace minerals that are essential for many body processes. Magnesium is a multitasking nutrient that helps with many processes in the body. Pairing magnesium with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is a powerful combination!! The magnesium in Inner Boost and Balance is a highly bioavailable source of magnesium, meaning it is more easily absorbed by the body. It is harvested from the clear waters of the Irish Sea.

Organic agave inulin, Tapioca fiber, Seawater mineral blend (Magnesium citrate and trace minerals), Natural vitamin B-complex from dry organic quinoa sprouts (Thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, biotin, folate, and cobalamin), Citric acid, Malic acid, Blood orange (Citrus sinensis) fruit extract, Silicon dioxide, Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid), Tarocco blood orange natural flavor, Natural sweetener (Rebaudioside M), Iron gluconate, Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopheryl acetate), Vitamin K2 (Menaquinone-7), Vitamin A (Beta-carotene), Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol), Orange (Citrus sinensis) peel oil

How to get your family organized and on a schedule—in three steps


Does the morning rush have to be so rushed? Is there any way to make evenings—hectic with daycare pickups, lessons and homework—a little less frantic? 

After a summer of wonderfully lazy days, late nights and lax routines, Nadine Silverthorne seeks professional help to get her family back in ship-scheduled-shape. 

By Nadine Silverthorne
Updated Sep 14, 2020

Summer has become the sweet antidote to my increasingly frenzied life. Without the mad rush to find missing mittens or that form I was supposed to sign, mornings are calmer. We gladly trade the harried dining experience of back-seat bagels en route to lessons for relaxed picnics in the park. Baths are purely optional—a dunk in a pool or a leap through the sprinkler counts, doesn’t it? Bedtimes stretch later and later. The pace is slower; we have more fun; we’re happier.

The rest of the year, my husband and I feel like we’re constantly spinning plates. Meeting the needs of two kids while juggling all the demands of two challenging careers leaves us either finishing chores or dealing with work emails past our own bedtimes, or waking up with drool on our faces, three episodes too far into our latest binge-watch. 

All too often, I find myself yelling about how late we’re going to be or stressing about dinner or worrying about how they’re going to finish their homework. By the time my kids are finally in bed, I feel like I’m starting my third shift of the day, too tired to get to all the things that need doing. I wanted—actually needed—to find some way to make that summer feeling last, even during September madness. 

It was clear we needed an organizational overhaul. At work, when a team needs help with project management, my boss brings in consultants to teach us how to prioritize and meet deadlines. It made perfect sense to do the same for my home team. Even a few tweaks, something beyond alphabetizing our vinyl but not as strict as achieving inbox zero, would be a game changer. So, with equal parts excitement and trepidation, I signed my family up for a professional productivity program.

1. Start small, think big

It is incredibly nerve-racking to invite an organizational expert into your home to sort through the jumble of your life. I worried that our productivity pro, Susan Pons, vice-president of Clear Concept, would be one of those perfectly organized robots with amazingly well-behaved children. She’ll take one look at the piles of incomplete homework and bills, and she will judge you,the nasty voice inside my head taunted. 

Quite the contrary (she admits even her kids rebel at some of her strategies)—she floated in, ready to roll up her sleeves, like a friend coming by to lend a hand. Having seen it all, with clients from big corporations to just your average family, Pons knows her way around a to-do list and has a reassuringly casual-but-firm style. Imagine Mary Poppins with a laptop and a trunk full of doodads to make your drawers tidy.

The first step toward becoming an organized family, she says, is to hold a weekly family meeting, ideally starting a few weeks before school starts, to get everyone working on the same game plan. I was to make sure to outline rules like, “there are no stupid questions or ideas.” Start with a simple question: “What are our family goals?” 

Next, ask, “What are our priorities?” For instance, Pons says, if your goal is to improve grades in school, then homework becomes a priority. If it’s important that everyone gets eight to 10 hours of sleep, then bedtime scheduling is a priority. 

Feeling over-programmed? In the family meeting, you have the opportunity to ask “What can we fit in? What can we drop?”


With our kids heading into grade four and grade six, we decided our goals were to get more exercise and ensure they have adequate sleep. At each meeting, we review where we’re at, as well as go over the schedule for the week and plan out our time. If we're hosting a dinner party on Saturday night, for instance, I’ll need to figure out when I can make the appetizers, or if my son has a science test on Thursday, we’ll need to block off time for him to study.   

To be honest, we’ve tried the family meeting before, with mixed results. OK, they totally fell flat. It felt like I was barking orders, the kids soon got bored and then I’d get annoyed by the lack of enthusiasm. Pons suggests encouraging each family member to add at least one item to the agenda. 

And it’s funny; I realized that while I’ve learned from management training that including employees in decision-making leads to greater productivity and increased engagement, I’ve only ever used it at home to get them to choose between broccoli and green beans.

 It was time to take things up a notch. I now start by asking three questions: What worked well this week? What didn’t work well? What will we agree to work on in the week ahead? Some weeks we get nothing, but most of the time this brings out amazing responses. If nothing else, our meetings have become a time to connect, reiterate priorities and celebrate successes

2. Make a plan

Next up: routines. Studies reveal that humans crave routines and that the most successful of us follow them to the letter. Routines have been shown to lead to better sleep habits, improve kid behaviour by setting clear expectations and help grown-ups regularly make time to recharge. But how do you actually get routines to stick? As a recent meta-analysis on the psychology of habits discovered, repetition is key—the more we do something, the more we train our brains to make the task automatic.

To achieve even a smidgen of organizational success, the system has to work for the nucleus of the operation, so we spent a lot of time on creating a routine for me, the Chief Household Officer. It never occurred to me that productivity was something I had to carry through the entire day—both at home and at work. The more strategies I could figure out to stay on top of email and increase my efficiency in the office, the less my work life would spill into my family life and vice versa. I don’t want the kids to see me tapping out emails at all hours, nor do I want to be planning playdates at work. So Pons and I tackled inbox strategies (did you know the average person spends about 80 hours a year rereading emails they have opened but haven’t dealt with?), scheduling meetings (as you’re most productive two hours after waking up, try not to schedule meetings until lunch, so you can get work that requires focus done first) and putting personal time in the routine (I’m saying “namaste” every Wednesday). 

I broke my week down into 30-minute chunks and added a “time budget” to everything so there would be ample time to get to school or work. Once I slotted in activities like gymnastics and basketball, three things became clear: One, time is a finite resource. Two, I can prioritize what’s important to me, thereby creating time where I thought I had none. And three, I need to stick to the routine as closely as possible. Spending an extra 15 minutes answering emails at the end of the workday, when I should be on my way home to prep dinner, can throw the whole routine off balance. (I now put my phone away from 6 to 9 p.m. and tackle any remaining work-related odds and ends after the kids are in bed.) 

The new routine also highlighted the fact that I need a lot more help around the house. I’m an excellent delegator, but my at-home assistants are not always game to help. So I’ve started paying them, like actual employees. Listing their chores (clearing the table, loading the dishwasher, cleaning their rooms, doing laundry) and assigning chore times in the routine made the expectations clear. Dangling their allowance as the proverbial carrot encourages them to get the jobs done. Whatever my partner and I can’t get to is outsourced according to the budget. Some weeks that means hiring a cleaning service and others it means splurging on grocery delivery


This has been a work in progress—old habits die hard. One of my biggest frustrations is trying to get the kids to be more self-sufficient in the mornings and at bedtime (read: peak nagging times). Two weeks in, my kids were still stalling, but I hadn’t yet printed out the routine. Writing a quick checklist on the whiteboards in their bedrooms did the trick. I ordered old-fashioned alarm clocks and put them across their rooms so they’d have to get out of bed to turn them off. I let the kids know they were responsible for hitting their marks. They were amazing, especially the first morning (I only yelled, “Get your shoes on!” four times instead of 16).

I was truly the weak link, still doing my hair when we should have been walking to school. A serial snooze-button hitter, I lay in bed scrolling through my Facebook feed for far too long before dragging my butt out of bed. I’ve started setting my own alarm to 6 a.m. and putting my phone in the kitchen overnight. Once I’m down there, I put the coffee on and do a few stretches. Getting myself dressed and ready before the kids get up has revolutionized things—mornings are calmer and far more productive. As someone who never saw herself as a morning person, I can’t help but feel equal parts proud and smug about this change. 

I love that this routine gives me a greater awareness of what spare time I actually have. Some spontaneity is still possible, of course—I can ditch Taco Tuesday for pork chops or opt to have family movie night on Thursday. But when I push off tasks to make room for fun, it means there’s still work to do (or food to be cooked or errands to run) later in the week. And if I really want my me time, I need to enforce the kids’ bedtime or risk having my own bedtime jeopardized, which can lead to stress and health issues that will inevitably upset the whole apple cart. 

“You want to try to achieve the routine 80 percent of the time,” says Pons. There’s room for failure, like last Wednesday, when I hit snooze even though I knew I shouldn’t. But if you find you’re missing the objective more often than not, she recommends revisiting the schedule via a family meeting.

3. Sync up

I still needed to find a better way to keep track of appointments and lessons, as well as make time to tackle to-do list items. I’m a lover of calendars, but I can’t stand being the gatekeeper of everyone else’s schedules. Pons prefers using one digital calendar so caregivers and kids old enough to have gadgets can see the big picture, but recommends also getting something visual so younger kids can keep track, too. I have a wipe-off 60-day calendar (I cut it in half and gave a month to each kid) that I put in their rooms—right where they can see them. It really helps them to get a sense of what their week looks like. My husband and I share a Google Calendar, which syncs with all our devices, so it’s easy to categorize events as Family Shared and send them across all our gadgets. I’d love to let you imagine that everyone looks at their calendars, and I never, ever get texts asking if the drum lesson is at 6:30 or 7 p.m. But a calendar is only as good as those checking it, so we started scheduling time to consult it. Once we started to pay attention to what we’d committed to, things fell into place. There’s something liberating about knowing I can make a date with a friend on Wednesdays or pop into an Ashtanga class on the way home from work because it’s my night. And while it may sound like a chore to you, earmarking two hours on Sundays to do meal prep helps me relax the rest of the week.

It’s a productivity journey

So are we completely rehabilitated and functioning like a Japanese auto company? Well, our good habits aren’t quite hard-coded yet, but we’re getting there. My inbox doesn’t feel so scary and neither does my freshly organized junk drawer. My children are embracing their responsibilities, completing chores (most of the time), getting themselves dressed and ready with less fuss, and generally offering to help more often. My husband, who gets stressed out by clutter, seems pleased with our new and improved household, and he’s started tackling weekend projects that have long lingered on one of my many previous to-do lists. Most important, I don’t feel like I’m the one doing everything any more. I'm not crushed by work stress (though there are days), nor am I paralyzed by the panic of the daycare-to-dinner dash. Now that the to-do list does the reminding and nagging for me, my partner and I seem to like each other again. There are mornings when I even have time to dribble a ball on the sidewalk with my sweeties before school. I think I'm going to get an A for back to school this year.

Welcome August!! 

 

The lazy days of Summer are at their peak now. 

Warm days, warm nights, hours spent outdoors. But you can feel the shift in the
air, that slight coolness every now and then. We know these delicious days won't 
last forever. 

So focus on the moment, on the NOW and let go of everything else. 

Be present. Be joyful. 

This month the Wellness News is focusing on all things Joy brings to our lives. 

Whether it is a deep peaceful joy or an exuberant, vocal Joy,  Joy is an emotion we assume people feel, and maybe see some people who seem to never
have experienced it. 

So let's talk about Joy and how we can cultivate it in our lives. 

After all, our health is worth it!

This Is How Joy Affects Your Body

by Carrie Murphy, Healthline
Feeling like bouncing off the walls? Here’s what’s going on inside your body.

Oh, joy! That happy, buoyant emotion is a great feeling, whether it’s brought on by a big life event (like a wedding or birth) or something as simple as finding the perfect fruit at the farmer’s market.

On an emotional level, we may feel joy in a variety of ways — tearfully, euphoric, with a deep sense of contentment, and more.
On a scientific level, we feel joy in our neurotransmitters, which are tiny chemical “messenger” cells that transmit signals between neurons (nerves) and other bodily cells.
Those neurotransmitters are responsible for processes and feelings in almost every aspect of the body, from blood flow to digestion.

Benefits of feeling more joy

  • promotes a healthier lifestyle
  • boosts immune system
  • fights stress and pain
  • supports longevity


Feeling joyful? Here are all the ways happiness runs throughout your bod

Every emotion you feel is affected by your brain and vice versa.
According to Diana Samuel, MD, an assistant professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center, “The brain does not have a single emotional center, 
but different emotions involve different structures.”

For example, she explains, your frontal lobe (commonly known as the “control panel” of the brain) monitors your emotional state, while the thalamus (an information center 
that regulates consciousness) participates in how your emotional responses are executed.We feel joy in our bodies because of the release of dopamine and serotonin, two types
 of neurotransmitters in the brain. Both of these chemicals are heavily associated with happiness (in fact, people with clinical depression often have lower levels of serotonin).

If you’re feeling down, simple
 activities like going for a walk in nature, petting a dog or cat, kissing a
 loved one, and yes, even forcing yourself to smile, can help those neurotransmitters
 do their job and raise your mood.
So, when something you perceive as happy happens, your brain receives the signal to release these chemicals into your central nervous system (which consists of your brain and spinal cord).
This then causes reactions in other bodily systems.


Ever noticed that when you feel especially happy, your face flushes or your heart races?

This is because of the effect on your circulatory system, explains Dr. Samuel: “Butterflies in your stomach, your facial expressions, even changes in your finger temperature… all of these 
can depend on your emotions. The effects on the circulatory system can present in different ways physically.”Your circulatory system consists of your heart, veins, blood vessels, blood, 
and lymph. Of course, joy isn’t the only emotion that affects this system — fear, sadness, and other emotions can cause reactions in these parts of the body as well.


Your autonomic nervous system is the bodily system responsible for all the things your body does without conscious effort from you — like breathing, digestion, and dilation of the pupil.
And yes, it’s also affected by feelings of joy and elation.
For example, your breathing can pick up when you’re doing something particularly fun (like riding a roller coaster) or slow down when you’re participating in a more relaxing pleasurable activity (like walking in the forest).

“Smiling can trick your brain by
 elevating your mood, lowering your heart rate, and reducing your stress. The
 smile doesn’t have to be based on
 real emotion because faking it works as well.” — Dr. Samuel
It’s well-known that your pupils dilate when you’re sexually aroused, but they can also grow or shrink based on other emotional states, too.

Other autonomic aspects that can be affected by pleasure include salivation, sweating, body temperature, and even metabolism.
Any type of emotional arousal can also affect your smooth muscles, says Dr. Samuel, which are located in the walls of your hollow organs (like your stomach, intestines, and bladder).
These involuntary muscles are responsible for things like blood flow and the movement of food through your digestive tract — so that could be a reason why your appetite revs up 
or slows down when you’re feeling positive emotions.

It’s hard to say which comes first because your feelings and your physiology are inextricably linked. Dr. Samuel says, “When something joyous happens, the emotional and physical 
response occurs right away because all of these things are happening simultaneously in the body.”And don’t worry — it’s normal to experience varying physical sensations in reaction 
to your happy emotions and to have different bodily responses than those around you.

You may literally get the urge to jump for joy, while your friend or sibling is more of the happy-crying type.

“Exercise
 can also take your mind off worries and negative thoughts that may feed
 depression and anxiety.” — Dr. Samuel

In a way, you can, says Dr. Samuel.
Even just the simple act of smiling can help. She explains, “Smiling can trick your brain by elevating your mood, lowering your heart rate, and reducing your stress. 
The smile doesn’t have to be based on real emotion because faking it works as well.”Another way to use your physiology to enhance your emotional state? Exercise (yes, even when you don’t feel like doing it).

Samuel says that exercise “can help ease depression and anxiety by releasing feel good endorphins and other natural brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that enhance
 your sense of well-being. Exercise can also take your mind off worries and negative thoughts that may feed depression and anxiety.”

If you’re feeling down, simple activities like going for a walk in nature, petting a dog or cat, kissing a loved one, and yes, even forcing yourself to smile, can help those 
neurotransmitters do their job and lift your mood. Now that you know how your body and your emotions can work in tandem, it may be a little easier to “hack” your
 mood so that you feel more joyful on a daily basis.

Summer Roller Recipes

Summer  always has us on the go; from fun in the sun to late night fire pits with friends, or as we head out on family vacation, we love enjoying 
 these warm days to the fullest! However, where there is lots of fun,  there are usually a few family members who get too much sun, have a bug 
bite or two, have an aching head or back, or need a little stress  support.

So,  one of the things I always make sure to have with me is my stash of custom essential oil first aid rollers. They're a total lifesaver when you're 
on-the-go! This year, I decided to make 5 super handy blends  using some of my favorite Young Living oils.

Roller 1 - Soothing Skin: Lavender, Frankincense, Tea Tree/ Purification
Roller 2 - Muscle Relief: Peppermint, Copaiba, Wintergreen
Roller 3 - Seasonal Ease: Lemon*, Peppermint, Lavender
Roller 4 - Stress Release: Stress Away, Valor, Orange*
Roller 5 - Immune Boost: Thieves, Purification, Frankincense

In  a 10ml roller you will use 40 drops of the essential oils listed, and top with the carrier oil of your choice. These little rollers are a total 
game-changer for summer adventures. Toss them in your bag and  you'll be ready to tackle any skin irritations, muscle aches, seasonal 
 discomforts, stress, or immune challenges that come your way!

***  Citrus oils are photosensitive, meaning, they can cause sun sensitivity  where they are applied on the skin. Just like the rind of a lemon can  ripen, they cause your skin to “ripen” in the sun! Since I love citrus  (and the sun!) and don’t want to avoid them all summer long, I make sure  to use rollers that contain citrus oils on my feet or just inside my  bra line. This helps me to avoid sun exposure with citrus oils, and  still get all the benefits! If you would prefer you can simply omit the  citrus from these recipes.



Good genes are nice, but joy is better    

    
            
          by  Liz Mineo               
           Harvard Staff Writer  
 

Harvard study, almost 80 years old, has proved that embracing 
community helps us live longer, and be happier               
       
When scientists began tracking the health of 268 Harvard sophomores in 1938 during the Great Depression, 
they hoped the longitudinal study would reveal clues to leading healthy and happy lives.

They got more than they wanted.

After following the surviving Crimson men for nearly 80 years as part of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, 
one of the world’s longest studies of adult life, researchers have collected a cornucopia of data on their physical and mental health. Of the original Harvard cohort recruited as part of the Grant Study, only 19 are still alive, all in their mid-90s. Among the original recruits were eventual President John F. Kennedy and longtime Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee. (Women weren’t in the original study
 because the College was still all male.)

In addition, scientists eventually expanded their research to include the men’s offspring, who now number 1,300 and are in their 50s and 60s, to find out how early-life experiences affect health and agingover time. Some participants went on to become successful businessmen, doctors, lawyers, and others ended up as schizophrenics or alcoholics, but not on inevitable tracks.

“Loneliness kills. It’s as powerful as smoking or alcoholism.”
Robert Waldinger, psychiatrist, Massachusetts General Hospital
During the intervening decades, the control groups have expanded. In the 1970s, 456 Boston inner-city residents were enlisted as part of the Glueck Study, and 40 of them are still alive. More than a decade ago, researchers began including wives in the Grant and Glueck studies.Over the years, researchers have studied the participants’ health trajectories and their broader lives, including their 
triumphs and failures in careers and marriage, and the finding have produced startling lessons, and not only for the researchers.

“The surprising finding is that our relationships and how happy we are in our relationships has a powerful influence on our health,” said Robert Waldinger, director of the study, a psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital and a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “Taking care of your body is important, but tending to your relationships is a form of self-care too. That, I think, is the revelation.”

Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives, the study revealed. Those ties protect people from life’s discontents, help to delay mental and physical decline, and are better predictors of long and happy lives than social class, IQ, or even genes. That finding proved true across the board among both the Harvard men and the inner-city participants.


“The people who were the most satisfied in their relationships at age 50 were the healthiest at age 80,” said Robert Waldinger with his wife Jennifer Stone.            


The long-term research has received funding from private foundations, but has been financed largely by grants from the National Institutes of Health, 
first through the National Institute of Mental Health, and more recently through the National Institute on Aging.

Researchers who have pored through data, including vast medical records and hundreds of in-person interviews and questionnaires, found a strong correlation between men’s flourishing lives and their relationships with family, friends, and community. Several studies found that people’s level of satisfaction with their relationships at age 50 was a better predictor of physical health than their cholesterol levels were.

“When we gathered together everything we knew about them about at age 50, it wasn’t their middle-age cholesterol levels that predicted how they were going to grow old,” said Waldinger in a popular TED Talk. “It was how satisfied they were in their relationships. The people who were the most satisfied in their relationships at age 50 were the healthiest at age 80.”

He recorded his TED talk, titled “What Makes a Good Life? Lessons from the Longest Study on Happiness,” in 2015, and it has been viewed 13,000,000 times.

The researchers also found that marital satisfaction has a protective effect on people’s mental health. Part of a study found that people who had happy marriagesin their 80s reported that their moods didn’t suffer even on the days when they had more physical pain. Those who had unhappy marriages felt both more emotional and physical pain.

Those who kept warm relationships got to live longer and happier, said Waldinger, and the loners often died earlier. “Loneliness kills,” he said. “It’s as powerful as smoking or alcoholism.”

According to the study, those who lived longer and enjoyed sound health avoided smoking and alcohol in excess. Researchers also found that those with strong social support experienced less mental deterioration as they aged.

In part of a recent study, researchers found that women who felt securely attached to their partners were less depressed and more happy in their relationships two-and-a-half years later, and also had better memory functions than those with frequent marital conflicts.

“When the study began, nobody cared about empathy or attachment. But the key to healthy aging is relationships, relationships, relationships.”
George Vaillant, psychiatrist
“Good relationships don’t just protect our bodies; they protect our brains,” said Waldinger in his TED talk. “And those good relationships, they don’t have to be smooth all the time. Some of our octogenarian couples could bicker with each other day in and day out, but as long as they felt that they could really count on the other when the going got tough, those 
arguments didn’t take a toll on their memories.”

Since aging starts at birth, people should start taking care of themselves at every stage of life, the researchers say.

“Aging is a continuous process,” Waldinger said. “You can see how people can start to differ in their health trajectory in their 30s, so that by taking good care of yourself early in life you can set yourself on a better course for aging. The best advice I can give is ‘Take care of your body as though you were going to need it for 100 years,’ because you might.”

The study, like its remaining original subjects, has had a long life, spanning four directors, whose tenures reflected their medical interests and views of the time.Under the first director, Clark Heath, who stayed from 1938 until 1954, the study mirrored the era’s dominant view of genetics and biological determinism. Early researchers believed that physical constitution, intellectual ability, and personality traits determined adult development. They made detailed anthropometric measurements 
of skulls, brow bridges, and moles, wrote in-depth notes on the functioning of major organs, examined brain activity through electroencephalograms, and even analyzed the men’s handwriting.

Now, researchers draw men’s blood for DNA testing and put them into MRI scanners to examine organs and tissues in their bodies, procedures that would have sounded like sciencefiction back in 1938. In that sense, the study itself represents a history of the changes that life brings.


Psychiatrist George Vaillant, who joined the team as a researcher in 1966, led the study from 1972 until 2004. Trained as a psychoanalyst, Vaillant emphasized the role of relationships, and came to recognize the crucial role they played in people living long and pleasant lives.

In a book called “Aging Well,” Vaillant wrote that six factors predicted healthy aging for the Harvard men: physical activity, absence of alcohol abuse and smoking, having mature mechanisms to cope with life’s ups and downs, and enjoying both a healthy weight and a stable marriage. For the inner-city men, education was an additional factor. “The more education 
the inner city men obtained,” wrote Vaillant, “the more likely they were to stop smoking, eat sensibly, and use alcohol in moderation.”

Vaillant’s research highlighted the role of these protective factors in healthy aging. The more factors the subjects had in place, the better the odds they had for longer, happier lives.

“When the study began, nobody cared about empathy or attachment,” said Vaillant. “But the key to healthy aging is relationships, relationships, relationships.”

“We want to find out how it is that a difficult childhood reaches across decades to break down the body in middle age and later.”
Robert Waldinger
The study showed that the role of genetics and long-lived ancestors proved less important to longevity than the level of satisfaction with relationships in midlife, now recognized as a good predictor of healthy aging. The research also debunked the idea that people’s personalities “set like plaster” by age 30 and cannot be changed.

“Those who were clearly train wrecks when they were in their 20s or 25s turned out to be wonderful octogenarians,” he said. “On the other hand, alcoholism and major depressioncould take people who started life as stars and leave them at the end of their lives as train wrecks.”

The study’s fourth director, Waldinger has expanded research to the wives and children of the original men. That is the second-generation study, and Waldinger hopes to expandit into the third and fourth generations. “It will probably never be replicated,” he said of the lengthy research, adding that there is yet more to learn.

“We’re trying to see how people manage stress, whether their bodies are in a sort of chronic ‘fight or flight’ mode,” Waldinger said. “We want to find out how it is that a difficult childhood reaches across decades to break down the body in middle age and later.”

Lara Tang, a human and evolutionary biology concentrator who recently joined the team as a research assistant, relishes the opportunity to help find some of those answers. She joined the effort after coming across Waldinger’s TED talk in one of her classes.

“That motivated me to do more research on adult development,” said Tang. “I want to see how childhood experiences affect developments of physical health, mental health, and happiness later in life.”

Asked what lessons he has learned from the study, Waldinger, who is a Zen priest, said he practices meditation daily and invests time and energy in his relationships, more than before.

“It’s easy to get isolated, to get caught up in work and not remembering, ‘Oh, I haven’t seen these friends in a long time,’ ” Waldinger said. “So I try to pay more attention to my relationships than I used to.”




August's Spotlight- Super Magnesium

Did you know that magnesium is a core building block for your health? 

It is involved in over 300 processes within the body! And almost all of us aren't getting enough of it. 

BUT a good quality, sustainably sourced magnesium supplement that is easily absorbed by the body is almost impossible to find… but we have it! Say hello to Super Magnesium! 

Super Magnesium gets the job done with better distribution, higher available levels of magnesium, and fewer capsules.

SUPER MAGNESIUM AT A GLANCE

* Supports a restful night's sleep and a calm nervous system

* Promotes healthy organ function

* Reduces oxidative stress on the body as a whole

* Contains melon juice concentrate to increase magnesium efficiency in the body (sends the magnesium where it needs to go!) and reduce oxidative stress and fatigue

* Decreases physical fatigue while supporting an active lifestyle and normal energy levels

* Promotes overall well-being when used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle

* Vegan and vegetarian formula is gluten, tree nut, sesame, corn and soy-free

This mighty supplement is sustainably sourced from seawater with a variety of trace minerals and formulated with melon juice concentrate, which reduces oxidative stress and increases magnesium efficiency in the body. Super Magnesium combines the power of bioavailable (read: easily absorbable) magnesium from the Irish Sea with the power of melon juice concentrate and Bergamot essential oil to maintain healthy magnesium levels in the body all day long. In short, this supplement helps your body win!

BACKGROUND

Just as sleep is a core foundation for your health, magnesium is a core supplement your body needs to stay healthy! DId you know that magnesium naturally helps your body produce the sleep hormone melatonin? The two Ms go hand in hand!

Sleep is a critical part of our health. Getting enough sleep helps reduce inflammation, make it easier to maintain a healthy weight, and improves everything from mental health to memory (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22534760/). Research suggests that quality sleep is vital for clearing toxins, regulating mood, and maintaining your immune system. Sleep is an incredibly important and often overlooked part of our health routine!

As more research has been done on sleep, we have learned that our bodies have a pseudo-lymphatic system that is designed specifically to clear waste and toxins from the brain while also replenishing essential neurotransmitters (dopamine and serotonin anyone??). It's the glymphatic system, and guess when it is the most active and doing the most work to?? While you sleep!

So it just makes sense to add Super Magnesium to your daily supplement line-up!

KEY INGREDIENTS

* Melon Juice Concentrate: protects magnesium levels within the body and distributes magnesium to areas of higher metabolic need; increases magnesium efficiency within the body; reduces oxidative stress and fatigue; sustainably sourced from fruit fields in France

* Magnesium (hydroxide, citrate): helps calm the nervous system and promotes restful sleep; involved in over 300 bodily processes; essential to energy, vitality, and overall health and wellness

* Bergamot essential oil: uplifts the emotions and senses and helps ease anxious feelings; helps lower cortisol levels and soothes the nervous system's fight/flight/freeze response; contains antioxidants that help support a healthy lifestyle; helps support the cardiovascular system

MAGNESIUM SALTS -SUPER IMPORTANT READ!!!

While there are many forms of magnesium out there (often called magnesium salts), Super Magnesium intentionally features magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate for several reasons. Magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate are considered highly bioavailable -- they are easily absorbed and utilized within the body. Combining these magnesium salts with melon juice concentrate increases the efficiency of these two types of magnesium and their ability to target areas of the body where they're needed most!

The type of magnesium ingested is actually not as critical as many would have you believe. When you ingest magnesium in any form, it ends up in the stomach first. The stomach  is a very acidic environment and the magnesium salt breaks down into  magnesium ions. These ions are  is what is absorbed.

Young Living's goal in choosing a magnesium salt was to find the cleanest, most natural source possible with no contaminants. That led them to magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate sourced from natural sea water.

Most research studies show magnesium's impact requires a dose of around 300 mg. The magnesium sources chosen for this supplement allow for a full 300 mg dose of magnesium in three small “0” size capsules. This is definitely a difference between Super Magnesium and many other options!

WHY do these types of magnesium fit into smaller capsules? Let's look at magnesium glycinate. A mere 8% of magnesium glycinate is actual magnesium. We'd need three times as much of that kind of magnesium to achieve the same benefit—you'd have to take nine capsules of it!

Also, the magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate used in Super Magnesium are sourced from the clean waters of the Irish Sea. This provides a sustainable source of magnesium and minimizes the carbon footprint of production.

FULL INGREDIENT LIST

Magnesium hydroxide (from seawater), magnesium citrate (from seawater), vegetable capsule (hypromellose), rice (Oryza sativa) flour, melon (Cucumis melo L.) juice concentrate, stearic acid, silicon dioxide, Bergamot (Citrus aurantium) peel essential oil

HOW TO USE SUPER MAGNESIUM

* From a.m. to p.m., Super Magnesium supplement supports healthy energy levels, a calm nervous system, and a restful night's sleep as you begin to wind down. If you are on the lookout for one supplement that does it all, make it Super Magnesium!

* Take 1 capsule 3 times daily; can be taken with or without food. Safe for ages 14 and above.

* Looking for a dynamic duo? Pair Deep Night Essence with daily Super Magnesium!

SIMPLIFY YOUR SLEEP ROUTINE…

Looking for better rest with minimal prep? Three products, amazing sleep.

The 5 Minute Sleep Routine

* Take Super Magnesium three times a day

* Take 2 Deep Night Essence capsules 30 minutes before bedtime.

* Diffuse your favorite sleep-inducing oil (we recommend Peace & Calming, Cedarwood or Mastrante!).

* Then say hello to the deep zzzz's you need!

30 Minutes to Better Rest Routine

* Take 2 Deep Night Essence capsules 30 minutes before bedtime. If possible, turn off all screens at this time! (1 minute)

* Stretch and/or meditate and take Super Magnesium capsules to help calm the nervous system. (6 minutes)

* Lower your body temperature to prepare for rest. (We sleep better when our bodies are cool!) Take a warm bath to boost blood flow to the skin and increase heat loss (bonus for using calming oils like Lavender, Frankincense, or Peace & Calming!). (20 minutes)

* Fire up your diffuser with calming scents. (3 minutes)

* Drop into bed and rest well, then wake up ready to tackle the day!

How Does Happiness Affect Your Health?    

                       

Five ways to feel good and reap the health benefits

       
                 
               
It’s no secret that being happy feels good. But did you know that it can also have a positive effect on your health?

Studies have shown that people who are happier tend to lead healthier lives and live longer. They’re more likely to exercise regularly and have better physical health, with a lower risk for various health conditions, such as high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease.

While finding happiness can be challenging, there are habits that can help improve well-being and bring more joy. Incorporating these habits into our daily lives can help us find more happiness.

“Intentional effort and healthy habits are ongoing processes that can help you experience happiness,” says Kosha Nathwani, MD, a family medicine physician at Scripps Clinic Encinitas.

Various practices can assist in cultivating a happier, healthier life. Practicing radical gratitude, managing your desires and taking care of yourself are all important. Mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques can also help.

            

Positive emotions vs. negative emotions

     
One of the most significant ways happiness affects our health is through its impact on our immune system.

Research has shown that people who experience positive emotions, such as joy, contentment and gratitude, have a higher antibody response to vaccines. This can help protect against illnesses, such as the flu.

Negative emotions can have a detrimental effect on our health. Stress, anxiety, and anger can weaken our immune system, making us more vulnerable to illnesses.

Happiness can also have a positive impact on our heart health. Studies have found that those who are happier have lower blood pressure and heart rates, decreasing the chance of developing coronary heart disease. Additionally, they are more likely to engage in physical activity, which is essential for maintaining a healthy heart.

Studies have shown that happier people also are less likely to suffer from chronic pain. They are at a lower risk of developing chronic conditions, such as diabetes, obesity and some forms of cancer.

              

Why is self-care so important?

     
People who are happier are more likely to practice self-care. They often engage in healthy activities like regular exercise and eating nutritious meals. Active people also are more socially connected.

“A strong social support system can be a great help in reducing stress and anxiety,” Dr. Nathwani says.

Positive well-being can impact our health by reducing the negative effects of stress on our bodies. When we are stressed, our bodies release hormones, such as cortisol. Too much cortisol over a long period of time can have a negative effect on our health. Studies have shown that happier people tend to experience less stress and recover more quickly from stressful events.

              

Cultivating happiness

     
It’s important to note that happiness alone isn’t a magic cure for all health conditions. Not everyone can automatically turn off worry. Besides, there are various factors that affect our health and well-being, such as smoking or abusing drugs and alcohol.

Nevertheless, the research linking positive moods and physical health is compelling. It suggests that cultivating happiness can have significant health benefits.

“Whether it’s through engaging in activities that bring us joy, building strong social relationships, or practicing gratitude and mindfulness, there are many ways to promote happiness in our lives,” Dr. Nathwani says.

So, next time you feel down or stressed, prioritize your happiness. This will not only benefit your mental well-being, but your physical health too.

“By taking steps to cultivate happiness in your life, you may just be giving yourself a powerful tool for living a longer, healthier life. With time and practice, you can cultivate a deep sense of contentment and joy in your life,” Dr. Nathwani says.

            

Learning happiness skills

     
People have different mental wiring and personalities. Some people are wired for serenity, while others are more reactive.

The good news is that happiness is based on skills that can be developed and practiced, so everyone has the potential to become happier.


            

Five ways to cultivate happiness

     
These five techniques come from mind-body practices. They can help you focus on increasing positive emotions in your life. Try working these techniques into your daily routine.

     

1.   Practice gratitude

     
Practicing gratitude means actively looking for things to be grateful for in your life, even when things are challenging.

“Identifying, cataloging and reflecting on all the things that are good in your life and circumstances can become a form of meditation in and of itself,” says Dr. Nathwani.

If you concentrate on the good parts of your life, your mental state and satisfaction in life can be enhanced.

“So, the next time you are stuck in a traffic jam, instead of giving into impatience and frustration, try tallying up what is going well — in your car, in your job, in your home and in your family,” Dr. Nathwani says.

A gratitude journal, where you can jot down these observations, can become a happiness-boosting bedtime or morning ritual.

            

2.   Manage your desires

     
Desire is natural. However, when we focus too much on our ambitions, big or small, we may feel unsatisfied. This can lead to a nagging, persistent feeling. 

“It’s natural to want things in life, but when we become overly attached to those desires, we can end up feeling unfulfilled and unhappy,” Dr. Nathwani adds. “By learning to manage your desires and focusing on what you truly need, you can cultivate a more content and peaceful state of mind.”

So, be aware of your emotions when they arise and don’t be too hard on yourself. Make an effort to stay in the present and recognize what you have.


            

3.   Take care of yourself

     
Another important practice for happiness is taking care of yourself. Getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly are key. Physical activities, such as walking, dancing, running, gardening or playing a sport, can help improve your health. They can increase your energy levels and lift your mood.

“Happier people are more likely to eat, sleep and exercise in ways that are healthy,” Dr. Nathwani says. “So even on days when you’re having trouble shaking strains and stresses, it pays to stick to habits that reinforce your physical health. They’ll pay dividends on your spirits as well.”

              

4.   Practice mindfulness

     
Practicing stress-reduction techniques, such as yoga or meditation, can be beneficial for achieving happiness. Practicing mindfulness can help you stay focused in the present. It can also help reduce stress and anxiety, leading to a sense of calm and inner peace.

              

5.   Compete against yourself, not others

     
When we focus too much on what other people have or are doing, we can end up feeling envious, anxious, or inadequate. Focus on your progress and goals.

“Focus on the positive. Play up your strengths and work to refine them. Strive to be the best you, instead of somebody else,” says Dr. Nathwani. “This will help you build self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment. These feelings can give you more happiness.”

What to know about the health benefits of sunlight


From promoting the growth of plants and crops to keeping people warm, sunlight is essential for life. In addition, many people enjoy the feeling of sunlight, and there is increasing evidence to support its many health benefits.
A widespread awareness of the fact that too much exposure to UV radiation from the sun can cause skin cancer has prompted people to be cautious about spending time in the sun.

However, just as it is important for people to protect themselves from too much sun, they should also make sure that they get enough to enjoy the health benefits of sunlight. Finding the right balance can help people maintain optimal levels of vitamin D and enjoy the mental health benefits of a sunny day without placing themselves at risk.

Keep reading to learn more about the various health benefits of sunlight.

Health benefits of sunlight



Of all the health benefits of sunlight, initiating the process of producing vitamin D in the body may be the best known. When UVB rays hit human skin, they interact with the 7-DHC protein there to produce vitamin D3. 
People can get vitamin D from their diet and supplements, but sunlight is an important source of this essential nutrient. Vitamin D is necessary for key biological processes to take place in the body. Its benefits include:
  • supporting healthy bones
  • managing calcium levels
  • reducing inflammation
  • supporting the immune system and glucose metabolism
Researchers have noted a link between exposure to the sun and lower blood pressure levels, with reduced death rates from cardiovascular issues. They suggest that exposure to sunlight triggers the skin to release stores of nitrogen oxides, which cause arteries to dilate, lowering blood pressure, and may reduce the impact of metabolic syndrome.
According to other research, increased sun exposure may also protect people from the following diseases:
  • type 1 diabetes
  • multiple sclerosis (MS)
  • several forms of cancer, including colon, breast, and prostate cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Sunlight also supports better sleep and sets people’s circadian rhythms by regulating the levels of serotonin and melatonin.

Being in the sun generally makes people feel good, and there are many scientific reasons for this effect. 
One of these is that exposure to UVB rays causes human skin to produce beta-endorphins, which are hormones that reduce pain. Their other benefits include:
  • promoting a sensation of well-being and improving mood
  • boosting the immune system
  • relieving pain
  • promoting relaxation
  • helping wounds heal
  • helping people feel more alert
  • increasing job satisfaction, when a person’s workplace has access to sunlight
  • reducing depression

Why do some find a lack of sunlight hard?

Days without sunshine can be tough for many people, but some individuals find going without the mental health benefits of sunlight more challenging than others. The National Institute of Mental Health say that the following characteristics put people at higher risk of developing depression and seasonal affective disorder (SAD):

  • having a family member who has experienced SAD
  • a history of depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, or other mental disorders
  • Living far away from the equator
It is also of note that 4 out of 5 people with SAD are female.


Depression and SAD

SAD is a specific type of depression. The symptoms develop or worsen when the days get shorter, and they improve when the days get longer. 
In the northern hemisphere, this means that people with SAD will experience the most intense symptoms in January and February. Researchers say that 1.5–9% of people in the United States may have SAD.
While it is common for people to have spells of the “winter blues,” SAD is a diagnosable condition that can have a significant effect on people’s mental health. 
As with other forms of depression, SAD interferes with people’s ability to live their daily lives and causes a low mood that can feel insurmountable. People may lose the ability to find pleasure in activities that they once loved, have difficulty thinking, or feel worthless. They may also notice changes to their sleeping and eating habits.

Alternatives to sunlight 

Both SAD and depression are treatable. Medication and therapy can both be effective, and some interventions harness the health benefits of sunlight.
These interventions allow people to find other ways to access these health benefits, which is particularly important for people who:

  • live in parts of the world where there is a significant difference across seasons in the available daylight hours
  • work in occupations that keep them indoors for extended periods
  • must limit their exposure to natural sunlight for other reasons
Light therapy is a standard treatment for SAD and can be an effective alternative to sunlight. Light therapy regimens, which take place under a medical professional’s supervision, require individuals to sit in front of specially constructed, very bright light boxes for a prescribed amount of time each day. Mental Health America report that light therapy is helpful in 85% of diagnosed cases.

Antidepressant medications can also be beneficial for people with SAD. Some research has also found that increasing vitamin D intake can reduce SAD symptoms in some cases. Individuals whose diet or lifestyle limits their body’s ability to manufacture this vitamin can take it in supplement form. 
Adjusting light levels and vitamin D intake are not the only possible solutions. Studies have shown that people with SAD can benefit just as much from cognitive behavioral therapy as they can from light therapy.

Summary

Sunlight is essential for human health and well-being. 

The health benefits of sunlight include generating the production of vitamin D, supporting bone health, lowering blood pressure, preventing disease, and promoting good mental health. 

For some people, reduced exposure to sunlight, which occurs in the winter in the U.S., can lead to the significant mental health challenge of SAD, a form of depression.

SAD is treatable with light therapy, medication, talk therapy, and even vitamin D.

Summer Roller Recipes

Summer  always has us on the go; from fun in the sun to late night fire pits with friends, 
or as we head out on family vacation, we love enjoying these warm days to the fullest! However, 
where there is lots of fun,  there are usually a few family members who get too much sun, 
have a bug bite or two, have an aching head or back, or need a little stress  support.

So,  one of the things I always make sure to have with me is my stash of custom essential 
oil first aid rollers. They're a total lifesaver when you're 
on-the-go! This year, I decided to make 5 super handy blends  using some of my favorite Young Living oils.

Roller 1 - Soothing Skin: Lavender, Frankincense, Tea Tree/ Purification
Roller 2 - Muscle Relief: Peppermint, Copaiba, Wintergreen
Roller 3 - Seasonal Ease: Lemon*, Peppermint, Lavender
Roller 4 - Stress Release: Stress Away, Valor, Orange*
Roller 5 - Immune Boost: Thieves, Purification, Frankincense

In  a 10ml roller you will use 40 drops of the essential oils listed, and top with the carrier 
oil of your choice. These little rollers are a total 
game-changer for summer adventures. Toss them in your bag and  you'll be ready to tackle
 any skin irritations, muscle aches, seasonal  discomforts, stress, or immune challenges that come your way!

***  Citrus oils are photosensitive, meaning, they can cause sun sensitivity  where they are applied
 on the skin. Just like the rind of a lemon can  ripen, they cause your skin to “ripen” in the sun! 
Since I love citrus  (and the sun!) and don’t want to avoid them all summer long, I make sure  
to use rollers that contain citrus oils on my feet or just inside my  bra line. This helps me to 
avoid sun exposure with citrus oils, and  still get all the benefits! If you would prefer you can 
simply omit the  citrus from these recipes.


5 Scientifically Proven Benefits of Morning Sunlight for Sleep-Wake Cycle

Medically reviewed by
 Dr. Nayantara Santhi

By Eric Ridenour

 

Key Takeaways

  • Getting Sun for Good Health: Morning sunlight exposure plays a crucial role in regulating our sleep-wake cycle and maintaining a balanced circadian rhythm. This exposure helps us fall asleep faster at night and wake up feeling refreshed. In addition to improving sleep patterns, morning sunlight provides essential vitamin D, strengthens the immune system, reduces stress, and supports mental health.
  • Sunlight Sets Circadian Rhythms: Bright morning light has a profound impact on our circadian rhythms, influencing hormone production and sleep cycles. Exposure to sunlight in the morning helps reset the biological clock, ensuring synchronization with the natural day-night cycle. This synchronization supports improved sleep patterns and mood enhancement.
  • Optimize Your Bedroom: Creating a bedroom environment that supports exposure to morning sunlight is essential for better sleep quality. Ensuring that your bedroom receives natural light in the morning can help regulate your body’s internal clock and promote better sleep at night. Opening curtains, going for a walk, or using a dawn simulator alarm clock can simulate sunrise and aid circadian rhythm synchronization.

Do you struggle to fall asleep at night? Are you looking for a natural way to regulate your sleep patterns? Getting morning sunlight could be the answer.

Sunlight is more than just a source of Vitamin D; it has been found to positively affect our natural body clock, known as the circadian rhythm. This daily cycle regulates when we feel sleepy and alert, so regular exposure to sunlight can help our bodies identify when it’s time for bed.


Essential Benefits of Bright Morning Light

Morning sunlight exposure is essential for a healthy lifestyle. Getting a daily dose of bright light in the morning helps to kickstart our body’s sleep-wake cycle and keep our circadian rhythm in balance. 
Studies have shown that regular morning sunlight exposure can help us fall asleep more quickly at night and wake up feeling more refreshed.

Besides aiding our sleep patterns, morning sunlight also helps us get enough vitamin D which is important for keeping our immune system strong and maintaining good mental health. 
Moderate sun exposure also helps reduce stress levels, while too much can harm our skin.

“Apart from vision, light serves a critical non-visual function by regulating our physiology and behavior in myriad ways,” explains Dr. Nayantara Santhi. “In humans, the synchronization of 
our internal biological clock to the environmental day/night cycle is mediated by the non-visual effects of light.”

“A distinct class of eye cells called intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) convey light information from the eye to the circadian clock, which uses the information to set 
timing in our body. Sleep, mood and alertness are some of the functions regulated by light. Thus daylight is critical for maintaining circadian rhythmicity and thereby the proper functioning of physiology and behaviour.”

Therefore, it is recommended that we all try to get some natural light in the morning whenever possible. This could be anything from going for a brief walk outside or just opening your curtains to let some light into your bedroom. Doing this will not only help us sleep better but also benefit us in many other ways as well.

Bright Light Sets Your Circadian Rhythms

Sunlight has a significant impact on our bodies, influencing everything from hormone production to sleep cycles. In particular, it affects our biological clock,
which are responsible for regulating our circadian rhythms. So in other words, the morning light is critical in setting and maintaining these rhythms.
The sun’s ultraviolet rays stimulate melanin production, the pigment that gives color to our skin cells. This increases the protection level against further 
damage from future exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The sun’s rays also have an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin, helping to reduce redness, itchiness, and other signs of inflammation caused by various skin conditions.

Bright morning light exposure helps reset the circadian clock to synchronize with the natural day-night cycle. This is why getting direct sunlight when you wake up can benefit your sleep patterns. It’s important to note that the same amount of sunlight isn’t necessary for everyone; some people may be more sensitive to its effects than others.


Heals Skin Conditions

Sun exposure is a great way to benefit our skin’s health. Morning sunlight, specifically, can be a valuable source of light exposure and helps to protect our skin from potential damage. Not only does it 
provide us with vitamin D, but it can also help heal any skin conditions we may have.

In addition to sunlight, a nighttime skin routine is crucial for maintaining healthy skin. It involves cleansing to remove impurities, using moisturizers to hydrate and nourish the skin, applying targeted 
treatments for specific concerns, and getting enough sleep to support the skin’s natural repair processes.


Boosts Mood And Mental Health

Getting morning sunlight can be very beneficial for our mood and mental health. Natural sunlight helps us stay alert, promotes vitamin D production, and boosts serotonin levels. This increased level of serotonin has been proven to improve sleep quality at night.

In addition, the morning sun helps regulate our sleep-wake cycle by regulating melatonin production. When it gets dark, our body starts producing melatonin, which helps us sleep. In the morning, when it gets light, melatonin levels decrease, helping us wake up. If melatonin production is interfered with through blue light exposure through screens, you may have too much energy at night before bed.

Studies have found that even brief exposure to morning sunlight can help people suffering from sleep disorders get better rest at night, allowing them to be more rested and thus elevate the mood and improve overall cognitive function.

Getting sun in the morning can be an easy way to improve our sleep quality and enhance our mood and mental health throughout the day. It’s important to remember that too much direct exposure can be harmful, so it is best to limit your time in direct sunlight during peak hours and ensure that you wear proper protection, like sunscreen or sunglasses while outdoors.


Supports Healthy Weight and Metabolism

Bright light, such as outdoor sun exposure, can have many health benefits. One of them is its ability to support healthy weight and metabolism. Light therapy is the most effective way to synchronize your body’s internal clock, vital for regulating hormones related to appetite and metabolism. Sunlight also helps with the production of Vitamin D, which can help regulate melatonin production at night – making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

Research has shown that regular exposure to bright light in the morning or early afternoon, combined with Vitamin D supplementation, may positively affect your weight, metabolism, and overall well-being, which in turn can lead to a better quality of sleep throughout the night.

Improves Vitamin D Production

One of the key benefits of getting morning sunlight is that it helps to produce vitamin D. This is because exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun helps your body convert certain chemicals in the skin into a form of vitamin D. A regular morning routine including a few minutes of sunshine can increase your vitamin D levels and benefit your health.

It’s important to note that if you have low levels of vitamin D, it can lead to fatigue, depression, and a weakened immune system. Therefore, adding more sunshine to your morning routine could help improveyour overall health and well-being. Although food intake still plays a vital role in maintaining healthy vitamin D levels, exposure to UV light from the sun is essential for adequately producing this nutrient.

When compared with those whose weights fall within the range regarded as having a “normal” body mass index (BMI), those who are overweight or obese appear to have a greater likelihood of having lowlevels of vitamin D. As a result of this, there have been some who argue that low amounts of vitamin D may cause weight gain.

Therefore, if you want to get the most out of your day, it’s advised that you incorporate some sunlight into your morning routine. Not only will this help ensure you’re getting enough vitamin D, but it could also improve your sleep quality at night and provide other benefits such as improved mood and energy levels throughout the day.

Citronella is well known for its ability to keep away the outdoor annoyances, but did you know that this lemony oil is also incredibly versatile?

 Citronella is cleansing and purifying, making it great for cleaning, gentle detoxing and clarifying. It is also a great addition to massage oils for supporting healthy circulation and the body's natural response to tension. 

This is one oil you definitely want on hand - especially in the summer!


JUST A DROP OF CITRONELLA

* Has a fresh, green, lemony aroma that is reminiscent of summer

* Contains geraniol, which helps to fend off outdoor pests

Citronella has a fresh, citrusy scent that is uplifting and relaxing, similar to Bergamot! It can help you release the stress and tension of the day to find a sense of inner calm and positivity. Pair with other citrus oils in the diffuser after a long day!

This oil is a key ingredient in multiple products, including Purification essential oil blend, Young Living Insect Repellent, and the Animal Scents line of products!

BACKGROUND

Citronella is steam distilled from Cymbopogon nardus, one of several aromatic flowering grasses in the Poaceae family. Originating in tropical Asia and closely related to lemongrass, it was used historically to cleanse and deodorize surfaces. Today citronella is commonly cultivated in Sri Lanka, India, Myanmar, and Java.

Citronella is steam distilled from the aerial parts and leaves of the plant.

KEY CONSTITUENTS

Geraniol, Limonene, Trans-methyl isoeugenol

Because it is a concentrated form of antioxidants and phytochemicals from the plant, Citronella essential oil can be a great help to skin in need! You can dilute and apply this oil to irritated skin, which is especially helpful during the summer months! CItronella helps to support the body's natural response to inflammation, making it a great addition to your first aid kit. Check out some of the easy DIYs for this below!

9 Surprising Health Benefits of Sunlight                      
By   Jaime Stathis        

                                
Sunlight does a body good, right up there with water, sleep and a healthy diet. Come to think of it—we’re basically houseplants. 
           
                      

Memes can soften the advice when it comes to serious topics, like health—including the meme that reminds us to drink water and get sunlight, because we’re basically houseplants with complicated emotions. Humans and plants have plenty in common…including the fact that we need sunlight to thrive. 

One main reason is that sunlight is known for being the best natural source of vitamin D, which humans need to maintain healthy bones and teeth and reduce our risk of osteoporosis and fractures—but sunlight has other health benefits. We consulted a few doctors for this list of the major health benefits of sunlight. 
                                                                                                                                                   

Health benefits of sunlight

Sunlight produces serotonin

Most everyone has experienced feeling blah and lazy on a gray day, and happy and energetic on a sunny day. This is because of serotonin (or the lack of it). “Exposure to sunlight can improve your mood, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and increase feelings of happiness and well-being,” explains Grant Radermacher, DC, a Wisconsin chiropractor, who explains that serotonin regulates mood and helps regulate your circadian rhythm, which can improve sleep quality (and, with healthy sleep, makes you less likely to feel down or gru
                                                     


Sunlight helps us sleep

If you’ve ever taken melatonin to sleep, you might consider morning sunshine instead. “When people are exposed to sunlight in the morning, their nighttime melatonin production occurs sooner, and they enter into sleep more easily at night,” explains Carly King, ND, a naturopath in Ontario, CA. Sun exposure helps to regulate circadian rhythm and decreases insomnia.

                                           

Sunshine wakes us up

Morning sunshine helps us sleep and wakes us up. “When exposed to naturally occurring sunlight in the morning immediately after waking, adenosine levels lower, which increases our energy and ability to deal with inflammation and infection, and decreases the feeling of sleepiness from adenosine,” says Jill Carnahan, MD, ABIHM, IFMCP, a functional medicine doctor in Colorado.

And if you love enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning sun, here’s your green light! “Coffee blocks adenosine receptors, which is why we feel more awake when drinking coffee immediately upon arising,” Dr. Carnahan says. “But while coffee only blocks adenosine receptors making us feel less sleepy, natural sunlight actually lowers adenosine levels.”
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Sunlight brightens mood

Thanks again to the serotonin, sunlight also boosts our mood. “Serotonin is a neurotransmitter made in our brain and gut,” explains Lana Butner, ND, LAc, a board-certified naturopathic doctor and acupuncturist. 

“The biochemical pathway that creates this happy ‘feel good’ chemical requires Vitamin D to transform tryptophan to tryptophan hydroxylase 2, which is one of necessary steps to get to serotonin.
                                                                                                                                                    
                                                               

                    

Sunlight improves sexual and reproductive health

Whether you’re looking to boost libido or get pregnant, vitamin D and sunlight are essential for reproductive health. “Sun exposure enhances romantic passion in both males and females,” says BreAnna Guan, ND, a naturopathic physician in Boston. 

“Exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) light increases testosterone levels in men, and Vitamin D levels may be related to ovarian reserve and reproductive hormone levels such as [follicle-stimulating hormone], [leuteinizing hormone] and estradiol in women.”
                                                                                                                                       

                        

Sunlight reduces inflammation

Inflammation in the body is a concern, especially systemic inflammation. “Sunlight has anti-inflammatory effects on the body, which may help reduce the risk of chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis and asthma,” says Kien Vuu, MD, a performance and longevity expert who is also an assistant clinical professor of medicine at UCLA. 

“Evidence shows an inverse relationship between sunlight exposure, blood pressure and cardiovascular disease,” Dr. Guan says, referencing studies that show insufficient sun exposure may be responsible for 340,000 deaths in the United States and 480,000 deaths in Europe per year.
                                                                                                                                                             
                        

Sunlight may reduce cancer risk

While we often equate sun exposure to an increased risk of skin cancer, sun exposure can help ward off other cancers. 

“While skin cancer risk is still a concern, regular sun exposure has been studied and shown to have a protective effect against the incidence of colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma,” says Dr. King—noting that sunburn prevention is a key element in reducing skin cancer risk. 

                                                                                                                                                   
                                                              
   

Sunlight improves certain skin conditions

Because sunlight reduces overall inflammation, direct sunlight (for no more than 10 or 15 minutes, to be safe) can also help reduce inflammation on the surface of the skin. “Sunlight exposure can help treat certain skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne,” Dr. Vuu says. 

Dr. Radermacher adds that vitamin D produced by sunlight exposure helps promote the skin’s ability to heal.
                                                                                                                                     
                                                               

                        

Sunlight boosts the immune system

We get multiple health benefits any time we boost the immune system. “Sunlight exposure can increase the production of white blood cells, which are responsible for fighting off infections and diseases,” Dr. Radermacher says. In addition, vitamin D produced from sunlight regulates the immune system and reduces inflammation, which helps fight off infections. 

“Regular sunlight exposure has been linked to a lower risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer,” Dr. Vuu says.

As always if you have any comments or concerns pop me an email at hello@newwellnessperspective.com 



Hello June!  

June, in my experience can be a range of things -- it can be hot, so hot you wish it would rain, and then it can be so cold it gets called Junuary.....I spent as many sports days and field trips with the kids either melting or drowning so all guesses are off as to what this June will bring us!

But no matter the weather, June signals another big change in our lives typically. For us Northern Hemisphere people, summer arrives. 

Kids are out of schools and schedules are out the window. 

Everything gets disrupted in the best possible ways but one thing we need to support, even in summer, is our
sleep. Our restorative, regenerative, and recovery sleep. Our bodies so desperately need sleep to do all the 
maintenance work required to keep up healthy and strong.

That is why this edition of the Wellness News focuses on sleep. 

Don't let the jumbled up timetables of Summer throw you off your sleep.....our bodies and minds are depending
on its power to rebuild us every single day.



Chris

9 Reasons Why You Can't Sleep and What To Do About It


By
 Amanda MacMillan
Updated on August 6, 2023
Medically reviewed by
 Sameena Zahoor, MD

                                                                                                        

 Insomnia refers to when a person has difficulty falling and staying asleep. Some reasons you might want to fall asleep—but your body won't let you—include lifestyle habits, medications, 
or physical or mental health conditions.1 Read on for nine reasons why it may be hard to sleep and what to do, including when to see a healthcare provider.


 

  1. Alcohol  

While alcohol can make you sleepy at first, it can make it challenging to get a good night’s sleep later. 
Drinking alcohol affects how long you’re in the rapid-eye movement (REM) stage of sleep, which is essential for 
processing emotional memories.23

  2. Bedtime Habits  

Sometimes what you do before bedtime can affect your ability to fall asleep. For example, taking naps during 
the day—especially in the evening—may make sleeping harder when desired. Other potential sleep-affecting habits include:

  • Doing activities that increase your heart rate or eating heavy meals within two hours of bedtime
  • Engaging in screen time right before bed
  • Lying in bed awake for more than 15 to 20 minutes

  3. Caffeine  

 While eating or drinking a lot of caffeine earlier in the day is fine, having it close to bedtime can be problematic. 
Consuming caffeine can provide an energy boost and help you feel more awake, but you can feel those effects for up to six hours.5

If you have a caffeinated beverage within six hours of your typical bedtime, the caffeine can keep you from feeling sleepy and falling asleep.

  4. Chronic Pain  

Individuals with chronic pain—which is pain that lingers beyond three months—often don’t get enough sleep or complain of 
interrupted sleep. The link between chronic pain and sleep is bidirectional. Chronic pain not only results in difficulty falling 
and staying asleep, but a lack of sleep may lead to:6

  • Decreased functioning
  • Increased physical inactivity
  • Longer pain duration
  • More severe pain

  5. Jet Lag  

 Jet lag happens when your circadian rhythm, your 24-hour sleep-wake cycle, does not match up with a new time zone.
It can be hard to fall asleep temporarily if you experience jet lag as your body tries to adjust to that time zone. 
You can also feel tired during the day and have trouble waking, among other symptoms.9

  6. Medications  

 Certain types of medications can lead to or play a role in insomnia, such as:101112

  • Antidepressants
  • Antiseizure drugs
  • Asthma medications
  • Heart medications (e.g., albuterol)
  • Oral contraceptives
  • Over-the-counter allergy, cold, or flu medications
  • Steroids
  • Thyroid hormone preparations

  7. Mental Health Disorders  

Sleep problems and mental health disorders—especially mood disorders—are linked. Some mental 
health disorders associated with insomnia include:131415

  • Anxiety disorders, like posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Depressive disorders, such as seasonal affective disorder
  • Schizophrenia
  • Substance use disorders

  8. Night Shift Work  

Research has found that night-shift workers experience sleep loss and are sleepier during their shifts. 
Like jet lag, working night shifts can affect a person’s circadian rhythm.16

 During their shifts, night shift workers are forced to be awake during darkness when they would be asleep. 
This can make it hard to fall asleep when a shift ends at daylight as sunlight prompts them to stay awake.

  9. Stress  

 Experiencing stressful events can make it difficult to fall asleep—something that can be measured by sleep reactivity.

 Sleep reactivity refers to how much stress interrupts a person's sleep. Researchers found that, on the one hand, individuals 
who have low sleep reactivity tend to have fewer problems with sleep when they're stressed. On the other hand, people 
with high sleep reactivity experience greater sleep disturbance during stressful periods.14

  What To Do When You Can't Sleep  

 When you're at a point of being unable to sleep, there are a few things you can do:

  • Focus on breathing: Another way to quiet your thoughts can be through simple breathing exercises. Deep, slow breathing 
  • can also slow your heart rate, which can be helpful if you're anxious or stressed about something.
  • Get out of bed: If you lie awake for more than 20–30 minutes, you should get out of bed and do something
  •  quiet until you're sleepy again.
  • Listen to a podcast: Podcasts or audiobooks can be good alternatives to reading if you don't want to turn 
  • on a light or strain your eyes. Just remember to find a topic that's not too exciting or upsetting.
  • Make a to-do list: Try writing a specific one for at least five minutes before falling asleep. One found that 
  • writing out a long, detailed to-do list of future tasks helped people fall asleep much faster than those 
  • who wrote about tasks they'd already accomplished that day.
  • Read a book: Since digital screens can further disrupt sleep due to the blue light that emits, reading a

  When To See a Healthcare Provider  

Everyone has a sleepless night once in a while. If you can't fall asleep regularly, it's time to talk to a healthcare provider. 
They can help you evaluate whether any current medications or lifestyle habits contribute to your insomnia and offer some solutions.

Why Do We Need Sleep?

By Lucy Bryan Contributing Writer &
Dr. Brandon Peters Sleep Physician, Sleep Psychiatry Expert 



If you’ve stayed awake all night—by choice, out of necessity, or in spite of your efforts to sleep—you know
 just how critical sleep is to your wellbeing. Everyone needs sleep, but about one in three American adults don’t get enough of it.
The consequences of sleep deprivation are serious, so it’s worth learning why sleep matters, how it works, and how to give yourself the best chances of getting a good night’s sleep.

Why Getting Enough Sleep Is Important

Sleep is an essential function that allows your body and mind to recharge, leaving you refreshed and alert when you wake up. Healthy sleep also helps the body remain 
healthy and stave off diseases. Without enough sleep, the brain cannot function properly, impairing your abilities to concentrate, think clearly, and process memories.
Sleep serves a variety of important physical and psychological functions, including: 

  • Learning and memory consolidation: Sleep helps with focus and concentration—and it allows the brain to register and organize memories—all of which are vital to learning.
  • Emotional regulation: Sleep helps people regulate their emotionsand better manage the physical and psychological effects of stress.
  • Judgment and decision making: Sleep influences a person’s ability to recognize danger and threats.
  • Healthy sleep supports sound judgment, good decision making, and other executive functions.
  • Problem solving: Research shows that “sleeping on” a complex problem improves a person’s chance of solving it.
  • Energy conservation: Sleep allows people to conserve energy through an extended period of reduced activity.
  • Growth and healing: Sleep provides the release of growth hormone necessary for the body’s tissues to grow and repair damage.
  • Immunity: Sleep supports immune function, allowing the body to fight off diseases and infections.

The Science Behind Why We Sleep

Human beings, like all species on Earth, evolved to survive and thrive on a planet with a 24-hour cycle of day and night. According to some theories of sleep,
sleeping in one consolidated block at night allowed early humans to simultaneously avoid predators, conserve energy, and meet their need for rest. It also
 kept them from having to adapt to life in two very different conditions—daylight and darkness.

The biological patterns that help humans live according to the 24-hour day-night cycle are called circadian rhythms. These rhythms work alongside
 the sleep drive—a desire to sleep that grows in intensity the longer a person has been awake—to cause people to feel sleepy at night and alert in the morning. 
Circadian rhythms, including the sleep-wake cycle, operate according to environmental cues. Every evening, as darkness sets in, the body begins releasing the
 sleep hormone melatonin—and every morning, with the arrival of light, the body’s melatonin levels become undetectable. An evening drop and morning rise
 in body temperature accompanies this cycle, enhancing sleepiness and alertness at the right times.


Stages of Sleep

Our sleep architecture—that is, the way the body cycles through specific stages of sleep—enables the beneficial processes that occur during sleep, 
such as healing and learning. There are three non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) stages of sleep followed by rapid eye movement (REM), the final 
stage of sleep. Experiencing all four usually takes anywhere from 1.5 to 2 hours.

  • Stage N1: This is the lightest stage of sleep, and it usually only lasts a few minutes.
  • Stage N2: Healthy adults usually spend about half of the night in N2 sleep. While brain activity slows, there are bursts of activity that may help with memory retention and learning.
  • Stage N3: N3 sleep, also called “slow wave sleep” or “deep sleep,” helps a person wake up feeling refreshed. During this stage, blood pressure lowers, 
  • heart rate and breathing rate slow, and the body secretes growth hormone. People generally spend about 10% to 20% of the night in this stage. 
  • REM Sleep: As its name suggests, people’s eyes intermittently move rapidly during this sleep stage. Most vivid dreaming takes place during REM sleep, 
  • and skeletal muscles become temporarily paralyzed to prevent a person from acting out their dreams. Memory consolidation occurs in this stage. 
  • It accounts for 20% to 25% of a typical night of sleep, with more of it occurring towards morning.
Healthy individuals cycle through all four stages of sleep multiple times a night. Regular sleep disruptions, as well as sleep disorders that affect sleep architecture 
like sleep apnea, can have serious consequences for physical health and mental health.

How Much Sleep Do I Need?

Experts generally recommend that adults get at least seven hours of sleep per night.
However, sleep needs can vary dramatically from person to person. Your activity level, your health status, and 
many other factors influence how much sleep you need, but the optimal number of hours typically falls within a specific range depending on your age and stage in life.

Age GroupAge RangeRecommended Amount of Sleep per Day
Infant4-12 months12-16 hours
Toddler1-2 years11-14 hours
Preschool3-5 years10-13 hours
School-age6-12 years9-12 hours
Teen13-18 years8-10 hours
Adult18 years and older7 hours or more

The Effects of a Lack of Sleep

Not getting the amount of sleep your body needs can have serious consequences. Just one sleepless night can make it harder for you to 
focus and think clearly, and you might feel tired or sluggish during the day. You’re more likely to feel irritable and to exercise poor judgment
 when you haven’t had enough sleep. And sleep deprivation significantly elevates your risk


Long-term sleep deprivation carries all these risks and more. Chronic insufficient sleep may:
  • Suppress your immune system, increasing your susceptibility to sickness and infection 
  • Increase your risk of developing heart problems, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure 
  • Interfere with your metabolism and elevate your risk for obesity 
  • Cause your relationships to suffer at work and at home 
  • Lead to depression and anxiety 
The effects of sleep debt compound quickly, so the sooner you can address sleep difficulties, the better.

“Sleep need reflects both quantity and, perhaps more importantly, quality. Focusing your effort on simple behavioral changes can yield benefits to both your sleep quantity and quality.”
Dr. Brandon Peters
Sleep Physician, Sleep Psychiatry Expert


How to Always Get a Good Night’s Sleep

The good news is that many sleep problems improve and even disappear when you take the right steps to treat them. 
Start by implementing healthy sleep hygiene practices at home.

  • Get at least 20 minutes of exposure to natural light in the morning. 
  • Commit to a regular sleep schedule.
  • Adopt a relaxing bedtime routine.
  • Make sure your bedroom environment is cool, dark, quiet, and comfortable.
  • Avoid electronics with screens in the hour before bed.
  • Exercise regularly and early in the day. 
  • Avoid alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine in the hours before bed. 
  • Use Essential oils like lavender and cedarwood that help calm the nervous system
If you have trouble sleeping even after taking these steps, contact your doctor. With the right treatments, you can get the sleep your body needs.

June's Spotlight- Cedarwood Essential Oil


Cedarwood essential oil feels like a walk through a beautiful forest - warm, welcoming and calming to the senses. This oil is great for everything from focus to skincare to sleep and is one we always have on hand.

JUST A DROP OF CEDARWOOD

* Has a grounding, soothing, woodsy aroma

* Creates a tranquil environment when diffused

* Supports a calm, focused mental state

* Wonderful to help wind down at the end of the day

* Helps maintain the appearance of youthful skin and healthy-looking hair

* Can be used to help fend off outdoor annoyances (pairs well with Citronella!)

* Has natural skin-cleansing and deodorizing properties

* High in sesquiterpenes

BACKGROUND

Young Living's Cedarwood essential oil is steam distilled from the bark of Cedrus atlantica, a close relative to the biblical Cedars of Lebanon, or Cedrus libani. Historically used by the ancient Egyptians in ceremonial rites, this variety of cedarwood is now grown primarily in Morocco.

Cedarwood was traditionally used for cleansing rituals, both physical and emotional. The Chinese, Sumerians and Egyptians used oil of cedarwood for embalming, disinfecting, hygienic, and other purposes more than 5,000 years ago and it was mentioned on a Babylonian tablet dated 1800 B.C. for multiple uses.

KEY CONSTITUENTS

Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them sprecic health-supporting properties.

All three of the key constituents found in Cedarwood are sesquiterpenes. In fact Cedarwood is 98% sesquiterpenes, the oil with the highest amount!

* Alpha-himachalene, Beta-himachalene, Gamma-himachalene: These compounds stimulate the limbic system of the brain, help lower brain waves from overly active to focused or from focused to meditative, help elevate the mood and calm the body.

Sesquiterpenes are a powerful tool! They help with oxygenating the pineal and pituitary glands, which are responsible for producing hormones related to sleep and stress. Sesquiterpenes also stimulate Beta Wave production in the brain, which helps with focus. When we are performing a difficult task or working on a problem, our brain increases the amount of beta waves. Sesquiterpenes stimulate and support that natural production and therefore ability to focus. These compounds also help delete negative information in the cellular memory, making them extremely helpful tools when experiencing or processing trauma of any kind (chemical, medical, physical, emotional, relational).

Natural Sleep Aids: Which Are the Most Effective?

by
Lucy Bryan Contributing Writer &


Dr. Dustin Cotliar Sleep Medicine Physician 
 

Natural sleep aids are over-the-counter supplements intended to help you fall asleep faster or stay asleep throughout the night. They are usually plant-based, a vitamin or mineral already present in our diets, or supplemental amounts of something produced by the body. There are not strict guidelines surrounding the use of the word “natural” for supplements, and many natural supplements, such as melatonin, tend to be synthetically derived.

Many people prefer natural sleep supplements because they tend to have fewer side effects than prescription sleep medications. They also appeal to those who prefer natural products, or are concerned about the addictive potential of prescription sleep aids.

Understanding the types of natural sleep aids, their potential benefits and downsides, and how they are regulated can help you make informed decisions about using and purchasing these products.

What Are the Best Natural Sleep Aids? 

There is a staggering array of natural sleep aids available, all of which claim to offer the sleep you need. Learning about the evidence supporting different supplements, as well as their potential side effects, can make it easier to decide which natural sleep aid might be best for you.

However, it is important to consult your doctor before starting any new supplement. Natural does not always mean safe for everyone. Many supplements should not be taken by people who have certain allergies or conditions, or those who are taking other medications.

It’s important to know that natural sleep aids are classified as dietary supplements, which means they are not regulated as strictly as medications. As with all dietary supplements, the Food and Drug Administration does not verify the safety, efficacy, or labeling of natural sleep aids.

“It’s important to be a savvy consumer and ensure that any product you’re considering taking is of high quality and certified by a third party.”
Dr. Dustin Cotliar
Sleep Medicine Physician, MD

Melatonin

Melatonin is a sleep-regulating hormone produced by the pineal gland in our brains. It plays a significant role in organizing our circadian rhythms, the 24-hour sleep-wake cycles that govern when we wake up, feel alert, feel tired, and sleep.
A wide range of factors can suppress melatonin production, particularly night-time exposure to light but also aging and some diseases. Since low melatonin levels can cause sleep disturbances, many people take supplemental melatonin, with nearly two thirds of American adultshaving tried it. 

Melatonin might be a good choice for people whose sleep difficulties are associated with:
  • Naturally low levels of melatonin
  • Jet lag 
  • Sleep-onset insomnia 
  • Menopausal night sweats 
  • Delayed phase disorder and non-24-hour sleep wake disorder 
  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) 
  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) 
Melatonin can reduce the effectiveness of some medications and produce unwanted side effects when combined with others. This natural sleep aid may not be recommended for people who have received an organ transplant, experience depression, or have a bleeding or seizure disorder.

Cannabis

As more and more states have legalized medical and recreational cannabis use, people have taken an interest in the sleep-promoting propertiesof the cannabis plant and its compounds, which are known as cannabinoids. People who use marijuana, a drug created from the cannabis plant, often report that they have an easier time falling asleep.But people do not need to smoke or ingest marijuana to get the sleep benefits of cannabis.


Some natural sleep aids contain natural or synthetic cannabinoids—namely, delta-tetra-hydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Some studies suggest that THC and CBD, alone or in combination, help some people fall asleep, stay asleep, and enjoy higher quality sleep.

Natural sleep aids containing cannabinoids may be beneficial for people experiencing sleep difficulties due to:
  • Insomnia 
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder 
  • Anxiety 
  • Chronic pain conditions 
It’s worth noting that marijuana and products containing THC have the potential to create dependence, and withdrawal from them can aggravate sleep problems.Additionally, the effects of cannabinoids vary significantly based on product type and dosage. Cannabinoids have the potential to react with many other medications and should not be combined with sedative medication.Sleep aids containing cannabinoids may not be suitable for people with glaucoma, liver disease, and Parkinson disease.

Magnesium

Magnesium is a mineral that plays an important role in many of the body’s processes, and studies suggest that magnesium levels influence both sleep quality and quantity. Most people get the magnesium they need from their diets. Whole grains, avocados, bananas, nuts, seeds, beans, whole grains, and milk are all rich in magnesium. However, some people choose to fortify their magnesium levels with dietary supplements.
Limited research indicates that older adults with insomnia may benefit from magnesium supplements, which may help reverse the changesin sleep that tend to occur as people age.
Side effects from magnesium supplements are rare when people use them according to instructions. However, some people experience diarrhea from taking magnesium. People with kidney diseaseshould also take magnesium supplements with caution and should talk to their doctor first.

L-Theanine

L-Theanine, an amino acid that naturally occurs in the leaves of tea plants, may be responsible for the calm that many people experience as a result of drinking tea. A small body of research suggests that L-Theanine supplements can reduce stress and anxiety, boost relaxation, and improve sleep.

L-Theanine does not appear to help people fall asleep, but it may enhance sleep quality by reducing the number of times users wake in the night. This means it may be a good choice for people who wake often in the night or have sleep-maintenance insomnia. Studies also suggest L-Theanine curbs the detrimental effectsthat caffeine has on sleep. Combining L-Theanine with magnesium might enhance its benefits for sleep.

Many sleep aids have the unwanted effect of causing daytime sleepiness, but L-Theanine does not appear to have this effect. Consuming up to 200 mg of L-Theanine per day appears to be safe for most people. This includes children with ADHD, who may experience improvements in both sleep and behavior with a daily dose of L-Theanine.

Glycine

Glycine is an amino acid and neurotransmitter that plays an important role in many body functions, including metabolism, nutrient absorption, disease prevention, and sleep. The human body naturally acquires glycine either by producing it through chemical reactions or by ingesting it through foods like beans, meat, and dairy products.
Recent research has shown that taking a small dose of supplemental glycine before bed may improve sleep quality and reduce daytime sleepiness in people with insomnia symptoms.Evidence suggests that glycine supplements benefit sleep by supporting the circadian rhythms involved in sleep. Specifically, glycine facilitates a slight drop in body temperature—a physical change associated with falling asleep and staying asleep.
Taking up to 30 grams of glycine daily appears to have few, if any, side effects—though sleep benefits are often achieved at doses as low as 3 grams.

Valerian

Valerian is an herbal sleep aid made from the roots and stems of the valerian plant. Limited evidence suggests that taking 300 to 600 milligrams of valerian up to an hour before bedtime can help people fall asleep and improve their sleep quality. That said, in a small percentageof people, valerian produces the opposite effect, causing sleeplessness.

This natural sleep aid may be a good choice for individuals who experience sleep problems during the menopausal transition, as some studies indicate that valerian can reduce menopausal hot flashes and help with menopausal insomnia.

Valerian’s sedative effects can linger, sometimes causing morning drowsiness. People should not drive or operate machinery after taking valerian, and they should not combine valerian with alcohol or sedative medications. Some studies indicate that valerian is more likely than other herbal sleep aids to cause unwanted side effects, including irregular heartbeat, dizziness, upset stomach, and headaches. While rare, there have been documented cases of liver damage associated with valerian.

Finding Reputable Sleep Supplements

The safety and efficacy of supplements is not closely monitored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Shoppers should take additional measures to make sure they are purchasing reputable products.

Are Natural Sleep Aids Safe?

Although many people associate the word “natural” with safety, natural sleep aids can come with risks. There are several important factors to consider before you begin taking a dietary supplement for sleep.
  • Interactions with other drugs or supplements: Natural sleep aids and other drugs and medication may alter each other’s effects. Exercise caution when combining natural sleep aids with medication or dietary supplements.
  • Contraindications: Natural sleep aids are not recommended for people with certain medical conditions. Additionally, many dietary supplements are not recommended for children, older adults, or people who are pregnant or breastfeeding—as evidence for their safety may be lacking for these vulnerable populations.
  • Inaccurate labeling: Studies have shown that the quantity of active ingredients in many natural sleep aids often does not match and sometimes far exceeds what is listed on the label. Look for products with a U.S. Pharmacopeia label and begin with the lowest dose available.
  • Overdose potential: Some dietary supplements can be toxic at high doses. Make sure to follow dosage instructions provided on the label or by your doctor. Protect children from accidental overdose by securely storing natural sleep aids.
  • Side effects: Some natural sleep aids have side effects that warrant caution. For example, you should avoid taking sleep aids that cause drowsiness if you need to drive or if you have work or home obligations that require alertnes

Hello May!  

May is the month of flowers. So many trees and other plants are in full flower this month that the whole world seems perfumed by their presence. 

But all the activity of May can be hard to love if you haven't prepared your body for it. 

Sore muscles, sagging energy, spring colds can all detract from the life you want to lead in May. So a well functioning body is key to enjoying all that this time of year has to offer.

So this newsletter edition is dedicated to getting our main drainage system unclogged and our bodies
detoxing properly so we can sleep better and live each day to the fullest. 

Join us in embracing the joy of May and LET'S GO!

Signs Of A Clogged Lymphatic System & 10 Ways To Cleanse It
Loretta T Friedman, RN,MS,DC,CCN,CNS,DACBN,DCBCN
1 Nov 2021

Getting rid of the toxic matter that accumulates in the body is one of the most important ways to stay healthy. 
The human body consists of many organs and glands that are supposed to excrete toxins from the body. This system of 
organs and glands is called the lymphatic system. Unfortunately, the lymphatic system is likely to get clogged and 
does not function properly in most people.

The lymphatic system is a part of the circulatory system and a crucial part of the immune system. 
It consists of glands, lymph nodes, the spleen, the thymus gland, and the tonsils. The lymphatic system has multiple functions such as:

* Removing interstitial fluid from tissue
* Absorbing and transporting fatty acids and fats from the digestive system
* Transporting white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes into the bones
* Transporting antigen-presenting cells (APCs), such as dendritic cells, to the lymph nodes where an immune response is stimulated

Unfortunately, the lymphatic system is out of balance in many people due to nutrient deficiencies, high intake of processed foods, and lack 
of physical activity. Below is a list of other health conditions which could suggest that your lymphatic system requires a serious cleansing:
* Arthritis
* Skin conditions
* Digestive disorders
* Frequent headaches
* Sinus infections
* Unexplained injuries
* Excess weight
* Chronic fatigue
The lymphatic system doesn’t have its own active pumping system and it needs the body’s movement, breathing, intestinal activity, and muscle action to create flow and push the toxins out of the body.Below are 10 ways to help create flow in your lymphatic system and remove toxins from your body.

1. Exercise
Regular exercise is key for a healthy lymphatic system. Start with less vigorous training sessions, and try to slowly incorporate more intense 
exercises to your routine. The most stimulating exercise for the lymphatic system is rebounding on a small trampoline.

2. Alternative Treatments
A lymphatic drainage with Lymph-Biologics is one of the easiest ways to detoxify the lymphatic system. This 3-part light wave with oscillating 
frequency can stimulate circulation in the lymph, and drain fat, fluids, and toxins away from your cells for proper elimination. Acupuncture 
is another effective treatment that will help you stimulate lymph flow and help remove toxins from the body.

3. Hot and Cold Showers
The hot water helps dilate the blood vessels, while the cold water shrivels them. This creates a “pump” action that forces out the toxic fluids that have remained in the body. 
This therapy is not recommended for pregnant women or for those who suffer from cardiovascular disease.

4. Use Dry Brushing
Brush your dry skin in a circular motion for 10 minutes by using a natural bristle brush, and then take a shower. You can combine dry brushing with hot and cold showers for better effects.

5. Drink Clean Water
It is advisable to drink up to half your bodyweight in ounces of water per day to further cleanse your system of toxins. 
(For example, if you are 160 lbs. = 80 ounces of water). You should also drink a few glasses of lemon water as well.)

6. Avoid Wearing Tight Clothes
By wearing excessively tight clothing, you are reducing circulation in the lymphatic system. Tight clothing can cause blockages
 in the lymphatic system, which can lead to an accumulation of toxins.

7. Breathe Deeply
Our bodies have 3 times more lymph fluid than blood, but there is no organ to pump it. The pumping action of deep breathing
 will help the lymphatic system transport the toxins into the blood before they are detoxified by the liver.

8. Eat Foods That Promote Lymph Flow
Eating raw and nutrient rich foods promotes a healthy lymphatic system. Some of the best cleansing foods for the lymphatic system are:
* Leafy green vegetables
* Low sugar fruits
* Ground flaxseed
* Chia seeds
* Avocados
* Garlic
* Brazil nuts
* Almonds
* Walnuts
* Cranberries

9. Avoid Foods That Cause Blockages To The Lymphatic System. Improve your lymphatic health by avoiding the following foods:
* Processed foods
* Conventionally raised meat
* Artificial sweeteners
* Conventional dairy
* Sugar
* Soy
* Table salt

10. Drink Herbal Tea That Stimulates Lymph Flow
There are many herbs that can be very helpful for the lymphatic system. Use the following herbs to prepare teas that promote lymph health:
* Echinacea
* Astragalus
* Wild indigo root
* Goldenseal
* Cilantro
* Poke root
* Parsley
