Beyond Metabolism (Emerging Research)

Metabolic Health

What is Metabolism?
Your metabolism influences your energy, weight, body composition and even
your cognitive performance.

Metabolism is the chemical reactions that change food into energy for our cells.
Our cells need this energy to power us in life, this energy is the foundation for
everything, from moving to thinking to growing to aging.


-Metabolism is a complicated chemical process. We may have only been taught
about metabolic health in its simplest sense: as something that influences how
easily our bodies gain or lose weight.
-At its core, metabolism is simply our body using fuel (like food) to create the
building blocks it needs and to generate the energy required to run cellular
processes.
- Few people know our metabolic function is affected by aging—and that is
certainly partially true—the reality is that optimal metabolic function can
support healthy aging.
-Factors that reflect the state of your metabolic health include: blood sugar,
blood pressure, lipid types and levels, and weight.
-Good inputs—exercise, eating right, developing strong relationships, managing
stress, getting rest and superior supplementation—can positively affect
metabolic health outputs like blood pressure, blood sugar, body composition
and weight.

doTERRA knew what they were doing when they chose a direct selling model to market their products. You know, a mom in search of answers does better research than a private detective? Likewise, when a mom finds something she loves, she tells everyone. It would only make sense that the early adopters of these natural wellness tools were mostly moms.

I have loved watching the doTERRA crowd diversify over the years. Men, women, young and old appreciate having this safer, less-expensive, more effective options as the first line of defense.

As a thrifty and strategic gal, I won’t let the initial investment get in the way of someone who wants these oils in their home. I love leveraging doTERRA’s rewards program and compensation structure to help others afford their oils. View doTERRA’s full income disclosure here.

Beauty from the Inside Out

InsideOutBeauty.png

Is your beauty routine working for you or against you?

The bad news:

- The average American woman puts 515 chemicals on per day without realizing it.
- The cosmetic industry in the United States is not regulated by any governing body.
- 1,300 chemicals that have been banned by the EU are still present in the US. 
- Chemicals linked to cancer, endocrine disruption, and inflammation are still present in US. 
- Your skin is a filter organ, and the largest organ of your body.

What to do about it:

+ Choose simple, beneficial ingredients from companies you trust. 
+ Make your own scrubs and soaks. 
+ Add beneficial ingredients like CPTG essential oils. 
+ Have a way to double check the quality, like sourcetoyou.com
+ Keep in mind: all body systems work together.

Copaiba Every Day

While my blog is called Essential Oils Daily, I don’ t necessarily use the same oils each day. One exception—I take a drop or two of Copaiba under my tongue each day. I love the mild taste and the complex chemistry that provides so many potential beneficial outcomes.

Copaiba essential oil is derived from the resin of the copaiba tree which can grow upwards of more than 100 feet and can be found in tropical South America. Copaiba oil is widely used in cosmetic products including soaps, creams, lotions, and perfumes. Since the 16th century, copaiba essential oil has been utilized in traditional health practices by the natives of north and northeastern Brazil. Similar to Black Pepper essential oil, Copaiba can help soothe anxious feelings and it can be applied to the skin to promote a clear, smooth complexion. Taken internally, Copaiba essential oil supports the health of the cardiovascular, immune, digestive, nervous, and respiratory systems.* Although Copaiba does not contain psychoactive cannabinoids, the main component caryophyllene may be neuroprotective and have cardiovascular and immune benefits.* It’s also a powerful antioxidant that promotes immune health.*

Uses

  • Add 1 to 2 drops to water, juice, or tea to support the health of the cardiovascular, immune, digestive, nervous, and respiratory system.*

  • Provides antioxidant support when ingested.*

  • Take internally to help soothe and calm the nervous system.*

  • Apply topically combined with a carrier oil or a facial moisturizer to help keep skin clean and clear, and to help reduce the appearance of blemishes.


Cedarwood for Grounding

doTERRA Cedarwood2.png

I love blending wood oils with citrus oils in the diffuser. Wood oils and root oils are typically low notes in fragrance blending and are beneficial for promoting feelings of groundedness. Citrus oils are high notes that can flash off quickly. Blending those happy citrus oils with a wood oil like Cedarwood is beneficial for balancing moods.

Did you know that Cedarwood essential oil was considered by the Sumerians to stem from the Tree of Life? Diffuse Cedarwood with Cypress for a warm scent to promote feelings of confidence and self-esteem within the home.

Cedarwood oil also includes the main sesquiterpene constituents cedrene, and thujopsene, which help improve the appearance of skin. Add one to two drops to your toner to help with skin imperfections.

Cypress Essential Oil

Cypress and Motivate EO.jpg

Did you know Cypress essential oil is frequently used in spas and by massage therapists? Cypress promotes healthy circulation.

Mix Cypress and Grapefruit essential oil with dōTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil for an enjoyable massage. Cypress essential oil also contains monoterpenes, making it beneficial for oily skin conditions. Add one to two drops to the toner to help improve the appearance of oily skin.

Lemon has many purposeful functions, especially when it comes to cleaning surfaces in your home. Add Lemon oil to a spray bottle of water to clean tables, countertops, and other surfaces. Lemon oil also makes a great furniture polish; simply add a few drops to olive oil to clean, protect, and shine wood finishes.

Spearmint is frequently used in salads, drinks, and desserts, but did you know that it has been used for centuries for its digestive benefits*. dōTERRA Spearmint is great for promoting digestion and helps reduce occasional stomach upset*.

Cooking with Ginger

Do you love to try new foods? dōTERRA Ginger is a main ingredient in many Asian dishes for its hot, fragrant flavor. It may be more familiar to you as it’s used more commonly in sweets such as gingerbread and ginger snaps.

A Pure Patchouli

Before I tried doTERRA, I was not a fan of the aroma of Patchouli. In fact, it took me several years to even order a bottle for our oil stash. Once I tried doTERRA’s Patchouli, blended with the right combination of other oils, I grew to love the aroma. The cosmetic benefits are astounding.

Apply it to dry areas to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes. When diluted, dōTERRA Patchouli acts as a natural deodorant.

The strong and unique scent makes a great base in floral blends. I also love incorporating it with citrus oils for depth.

dōTERRA Vetiver has a unique, exotic aroma that’s sweet, woody, caramel, and smoky making it ideal for calming emotions. For a relaxing and stress free evening at home, use Vetiver as a massage oil for the body, diffuse with Lavender, doTERRA Serenity®, or doTERRA Balance® or rub on your feet before bedtime to promote a restful night’s sleep*.
