   EP 13: It’s this Easy to Reverse Aging

   To Grab your HEAL CONVENTION TICKET click here.  You will be able to purchase the new products on Sept 15th. Email me if you have any questions!  Grassrootswellnessteam@gmail.com Metabolic Health and Biological Age Are Inseparable Most of you are familiar with the idea that lifestyle choices affect your physical appearance. Remember, only 6.8% of the population has optimal cardiometabolic health, and metabolic imbalances contribute to the appearance of early aging. The same is true of your biological age. Even with genetic factors, your lifestyle choices make a big difference. The same list of things that makes you look old on the outside makes your cells act old on the inside. Some of the latest research at Harvard and other top-tier organizations shows metabolic health and biological age are inseparable. That means the stronger and healthier your metabolic function is, the younger you’ll feel inside and out. MetaPWRTM Metabolic Blend At the heart of the system is a uniquely formulated blend of Grapefruit, Lemon, Peppermint, Ginger, and Cinnamon Bark essential oils that’s featured in every product in the line. Let’s just call it “willpower in a bottle.” The new product system for metabolic health is going to fill the hole in your wellness lifestyle plan. While more confirming clinical research is needed, preclinical studies suggest it supports naturally increasing NAD+ and NADH levels in your body, which can help normalize blood glucose levels, promote healthy insulin activity and response, and inhibit the growth of adipose fat cells.* I also hear it also includes nine types of collagen from ethical and sustainable marine sources. Most other products in the market have two types maximum and none of the other metabolic support factors. The MetaPWR essential oil blend itself doesn’t just come in a single format. A 15 mL bottle is just the beginning. You can diversify your consumer experience! It’s a choose-your-own- adventure journey with this essential oil blend. Have you ever started your day with a treat that seems to set off a whole day of poor eating? Cravings can be a serious force to be reckoned with, especially because it’s normal for your resolve or self-discipline to diminish throughout the day. dōTERRA offers gum, softgels, and beadlets—all of which are convenient for life on the go. You have support wherever you are! MetaPWRTM Metabolic Assist How does Assist benefit you? It turns fast carbs into slow carbs reducing our meal-time blood glucose spikes. Blood sugar levels are one of the most significant markers of health. These levels naturally fluctuate depending on eating and activity patterns. ·It’s important to note constant spikes and crashes in your blood sugar are hard on your body and contribute to poor functioning cells. · Like blood sugar levels, a rollercoaster ride once or twice a year probably wouldn’t cause long-term issues. However, riding the rollercoaster multiple times a day, week after week mighthave some consequences. MetaPWRTM Assist contains multiple natural compounds clinically evidenced to promote healthy blood sugar regulation.* MetaPWRTM Advantage While most collagen nutraceutical products use only one or two collagen peptide types, MetaPWR Advantage contains nine! Each supports different biological systems—from bone and cartilage strength to skin elasticity. A supplement’s delivery system is crucial to its bioavailability, and that’s especially true of collagen. Certain fantastic ingredients in MetaPWR Advantage can influence the expression of several aging genetic pathways to ensure you’re not only living longer but also living well, like yeast powder NMN!* By supplementing with the naturally derived NMN found in MetaPWR Advantage, you can support your body’s ability to produce NAD+, optimizing your metabolic health and extending your health-span.* While NAD+ serves many functions, the most critical ones are metabolic processes and mitochondrial function.

   EP 11: Essential Oils For Beginners

   GRAB THE ESSENTIAL OILS FOR THE BEGINNER KIT Three Cool Things About OilsFirst Cool Thing: 100% Natural & Safe“The first cool thing about dōTERRA essential oils is that they’re 100% natural and safe. There’s nothing added to the oil or taken away from the oil. They’re just simply pure essential oils with no side effects and no addictions. They’re safe for babies, children, adults and the elderly. Oils are extracts from plants that have amazing health benefits.. A pure oil is about 50-70 times more powerful than herbs. One drop of peppermint essential oil is equivalent to drinking 28 cups of peppermint tea. So they’re really potent!“What I love about these oils is the CPTG standard. It stands for Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade, and it means these oils are completely pure and potent. Pure means there are no foreign contaminants or fillers. Potent means that each plant was grown in a part of the world where that plant grows best, resulting in the absolute best chemistry for that plant. When you have the ideal natural chemistry, the essential oil extracted does exactly what we want it to do for our health.“So that’s the first cool thing about essential oils, they are 100% natural and safe. Who can tell me the first cool thing about essential oils?”Type in the chat box the first cool thing about essential oils and the first person will win this sample of OnGuard.  While you all are competing in the chat box let me tell you about OnGuard.  – onguard is our protective blend its super popular right now as everyone is looking to support their immune systems!  You can apply this to your feet every morning and  night or you can take 1-2 drops in honey or water for support to your immune system. Second Cool Thing: More Effective than Many Modern Approaches to Health Problems“The second cool thing about essential oils is that they are more effective than many modern approaches to health problems.”“First, do we have any medical professionals in the room? Okay, what I’m going to share next is going to sound very elementary to you. Most of us in this room don’t have the medical training you do, so I’m going to really simplify things so that this makes sense to everyone. Let’s go back to biology 101. Is that Okay? “Let’s say this is a cell in your body (hold up your fist), and we know that cells have oily cell membranes. The cell membrane protects the cell, it keeps all the good things in and all the bad things out. Now two of the things that are harmful to our cells are Bacteria and viruses. Bacteria usually form on the outside of the cell and viruses duplicate the DNA on the inside of the cell. All you have to remember is bacteria on the outside viruses on the inside."“Let’s say you went to the doctor with a bacterial infection. What would he recommend for you? (Give you an antibiotic) And after taking the antibiotic for 7-10 days in most cases, it would probably clear up the infection - but it often comes with wreaking havoc on your gut, hormones, and immune system."“Now if you had a virus like the cold or flu, what would he say? (Go home, drink a lot of water, rest and let it run its course) The reason why is because most of the modern recommendations are water-based synthetic agents - and frequently come with side-effects and addictions. Water and oil don’t mix, so if the recommendation from your doctor is water-based, it will have a really hard time penetrating through that oily cell membrane and stopping the duplication of a virus.”“Essential oils are different they are oil-based, which means they can permeate that cell membrane! They can work on a cellular level without side-effects or addictions, and they can combat bacteria on the outside of the cell and prevent the duplication of viruses on the inside. That is why they are often more effective than the modern approach to health problems.”“That is the second cool thing about Essential Oils.Third Cool Thing: Cheaper than Traditional Medical Care“The third cool thing a

    EP 6: Is Your Bedroom Making You Sick? 10 Simple Hacks to Create a Healthy Sleep Oasis.

    Is your Bedroom making you sick?  We spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping; this space must provide a non-toxic place for rest and restoration.  Find out if you wake up feeling groggy or less than your best due to your bedding. 10 Simple Steps to start to create that healthy non-toxic bedroom: Swap your pillow for a healthier upgrade.  Organic cotton, wool, and natural latex Get 100% organic cotton sheets/pillow cases or all cotton but wash them several times in a clean detergent like our abode pods and rinse with vinegar. Fill your room with house plants. Episode 2 talks about houseplants and how they are so helpful to our indoor air quality. Wash your sheets weekly with Abode Laundry Pods. Swap out your mattress for an organic version when your budget allows.  My favorite company is Lifekind. Keep your room cool Use an Essential Oil Diffuser to clean the air and create a calm atmosphere. Remove the TV and screens from your bedroom. Remove the noise.  Use a white noise machine or app that helps remove disruptions. I use the app Noisli. Keep the room cool. Aim for about 65 degrees to get more REM sleep. Organic Education Sleep Safe in a Toxic World was published in 2011 as a second edition to Toxic Bedrooms, first published in 2007. Both books were well-reviewed, and the second edition (with forwarding by Athena Thompson) was an official Green Book Festival selection. Considered the foremost expert on organic sleep, Walt continues to lecture on his research to ensure the consumer public knows the importance of organic in our lives. Sleep Safe in a Toxic World: Your Guide to Identifying and Removing Hidden Toxins from your Bedroom (available on Amazon) The best bedding... in my opinion: life kind OMI/Organic Pedic Natura World Organic Series Wishing you Happy, Healthy Sleeping!
