Nutrition| The Power of Healthy
Healing & Hope
Click here for the Nutirtion Line Cookbook
It's never been so vital to nurture and strengthen our bodies and our emotions.
We're talking about the power of being healthy. Our vision of health is individualized. Our own perception drives us. Even how we feel and specific needs we have challenges us to make a change. Change is unique to our own situation. In today's world health has become an adaptation to our changing needs, one that has individual definition and consequently one that requires to whatever degree plausible a personalized approach to our care. Undoubtedly, we appreciate the advancement in health technology. We have collectively made miraculous strides in medicine especially in emergency and surgical inventions allowing us to become highly specialized in healthcare. We have done much controlling and eradicating infectious disease. Now we enjoy the longest life expectancies we have seen in generations.
Despite advances, Americans have never before been more challenged in their health, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity plague the world at unprecedented rates. In many instances a longer life span is often compared with a decreased quality of life, pain and unfortunately persistent illness. Over the past several years there has been much in the study of lifestyle and its effect on our health. No aliment of lifestyle holds more influence and more potential for health than what we will refer to as complete nutrition. It may surprise you to learn although we may have some genetic predisposition for good and bad health outcomes, we can extenuate the positive and diminish and, in some cases, completely eliminate poor health predisposition through sound lifestyle choices with nutrition being the most profound influencer.
Your health is an investment not an expense
Now over the past few years doTERRA has begun research, investigating epigenetic solutions through lifestyle choices and doTERRA products as a whole. We will be excited to share what we are learning in the near future. Now we so often believe that unless we recognize some type of symptom, we must be healthy. Unlike outward injury most poor health and disease is first an expression within the body and it is not easily recognized. For example, you did not sleep well, to then woke up to discover you had developed some type of an illness or disease. It most likely developed over an extended period of time without detection.
Health is not valued until sickness comes ~ Thomas Fuller
Here is a key point to remember just like an airplane in flight, it is in constant forward movement, our health adheres to the exact same principle. Our individual wellness is not stalled to the paralysis of not knowing. Our health is not stagnant we are instead in constant movement. However fast or slow we are in perpetual motion for greater health, or we are falling to an unwanted outcome. Several years ago, we introduced what we call the Wellness Pyramid.
Our intention was to share the basics of what we need to do on a daily basis to build an adequate foundation for health. While it most assuredly will not solve all dilemmas it is an excellent guide for transformation. Today we will focus on the supporting strength of this pyramid. Our body has an amazing capacity to heal and to change when we give it what it needs. We need no longer to live under the notion that all the great advances in medicine are specific to some new technology or procedural development. You and I are a part of a health-conscious society and knowledge is the great key master the cornerstone aliment of that knowledge, is our understanding and our use of what we refer to as complete nutrition.

Raw Super foods, Real Benefits, Natural Ingredients
Our fast paced, busy schedules lead us to fast food and processed foods that saves us time but deprive us of nutrients. Even when we are eating healthy, we can still be missing out of the nutrients that come from sources we just don't come across in our everyday lives. The truth is the earth is different than what it used to be between soil depletion and loss of usable land. Farming is not what it once was and our food is just not packed with nutrients anymore. doTERRA decided to bring the nutrients that fuel our body back to our diet with the doTERRA nutrition line. At doTERRA we are always in the pursuit of what's pure. Our foundational products like doTERRA Lifelong Vitality Pack, TerraZyme and PB Assist +, are some of our most popular products. Following is a brief description of each product.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Lifelong Vitality Pack
In order to be in our prime we need to get the right nutrients and micronutrients. The foundational supplementary program, LLV pack combines 3 scientifically formulated products providing an essential dietary nutrients and other powerful ingredients that supports cellular health and vitality.
Alpha CRS+ - helps fight the cellular aging process while helping you feel the vitality and energy of youth.
xEO Mega - is a proprietary supplement of marine and land sourced of Omega Fatty Acids. Omega Fatty Acids are essential nutrients that support joint, cardiovascular, brain and immune health.
Micro Plex VMz - a balanced food nutrient complex, formulated with standardized bioavailable forms of essential vitamins and minerals for optimal bone and metabolic health.
Daily use of all three of these products with a healthy lifestyle of eating right, exercising, resting and managing stress will help support the healthy aging and longevity of cells while helping feel younger longer. As we have all heard, "you are what you eat," a more accurate statement would be, "you are what you absorb."
(Please check out my webinar Lifelong Vitality that dives in deeper on the ingredients of each of these supplements and their benefits.)
A man grows most tired while standing still ~ Chinese Proverb
TerraZyme
Enzymes are helpful in breaking down food into nutrients and helps us have regular BM (bowel movements). Enzymes make all things possible in living organisms. Enzymes are involved in all systems of our body including body mass, detoxing major organs and healing injured tissue. They allow our body to digest, absorb, and convert food into energy. They also regulate thousands of other biological functions including respiration, thought, growth, smell, taste, nerve stimulation, immunity, hormone regulation, cellular growth, and the repair of organs, glands, and tissues. The benefits are endless in helping support the digestive system, nervous system, endocrine and reproductive system, respiratory, muscle skeletal, cardiovascular, immune, integumentary (the skin), the largest organ of the body. The greatest benefit from enzymes is the support to help overcome eczema, AKA atopic dermatitis.

PB Assist+
PB Assist+ makes sure our intestines are nice and healthy. When healthy colonies of friendly bacteria are present in the intestine, they help maintain a positive balance and proliferation of beneficial bacteria while preventing the adherence and colonization of harmful organisms that can challenge our health and wellbeing. The healthy microbiome aids in the digestion of macronutrients particularly carbohydrates. Make LLV and PB Assist part of your routine to optimize health and vitality.

Nutrition Line
The nutrition line is a welcome addition to the doTERRA family. And like the foundational products this nutrition line will help our quest to live healthy.
Here is some of the highlights of the new products what we will be learning about:

These products have scientifically supported ingredients. Use them with a healthy diet to feel your best and support your bodies key systems
They taste amazing, you'll love the flavors
We'll look more into the science behind these products how they are formulated to give us more energy, keep us healthy and strong, and help keep our digestive system on track.
Nutrition Deficiency
There's a lot that goes into us staying healthy. The root of our health is nutrition. In the US we have been making progress in our nutrition, trying to eat good foods and being pickier in what we are putting inside our bodies but at the end of the day fast food, processed and pre-packaged foods can be tempting especially when we are busy and stressed and don't have time to prepare proper meals.
Frequently turning to these options as convenient is wreaking havoc on our nutritional intake. To illustrate how dyer these problems have become. Here are a few statistics from our recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Nearly one third, 31% of the US population is at risk of one vitamin deficiency or iron deficiency. 95% of adults and 98% of teens have an inadequate Vitamin D intake. Only a small percentage of people meet the recommendation for Vitamin E, about half meet Vitamin C recommendations, and about a third are deficient in important minerals such as calcium and magnesium. 97% of Americans do not get the required amount of fiber. Research has linked poor nutrition to increased risk to various forms of cancer, osteoporosis, tooth decay and even mental health issues.
In addition to the nutritional deficiencies are gut health that also has suffered because of our food choices. In recent years the vital importance of our gut microbiome has been increasingly evident. The human gut microbiome is essential to our nutrition and digestion but there is also research to suggest that it may have a role in the cause of certain cancer and even influences processes in the brain and our mental health.
In fact, research has shown that a huge portion of our immune system is actually in our GI tract. So, if our gut microbiome is not being feed properly it can affect everything from our immune system to the risk of cardiovascular disease and IBS. How to combat these issues is with this nutrition line. We need to change the way we think about nutrition. The products in this line will revolutionize how we take care of ourselves. As always, the foundation of the nutrition plan is LLV pack and the Nutrition line to take care of the whole body and whole health. This line is not a replacement of a healthy diet but a way to fill in the gaps and to make sure we are doing the best we can for our body. How do we make sure our body is getting the nutrition that it needs? Well public health has been trying to answer this question for decades on a large scale with little success. Nutritional chronic disease continues to increase. Chronic disease steam from poor nutrition, to help get better is with this integrative approach. We believe that you should take back control of your health and have ways to treat your problem not just the symptoms. We think this new line is a powerful tool we can use to help others get where they want to be.

doTERRA Protein
Protein is vital in a healthy diet. It's what gives us stamina and helps the body do everything from building cells and muscles to keep our immune system healthy. So many, including myself, struggle to get the daily portion of protein needed to keep everything functioning in optimum capacity. doTERRA protein makes it easy to use in this convenient delivery. There are two flavors of Whey Protein Vanilla and Chocolate, along with a plant-based option as well. All the shakes are certified Gluten Free, non-GMO and formulated to help support muscle growth and satisfy hunger.
Three standout characteristics of doTERRA Protein
The nutritional value, each serving has 21 grams of Protein, plus few grams of fiber too. The protein sources chosen to have an amazing amino acids profile.

The whey protein concentrate comes from happy cows they are pasture-fed and rBST hormone free. You can trust that each ingredient in these shakes comes with a transparency in quality that you would expect from doTERRA.

doTERRA Fiber
We know that fiber is important, but it is one of those that it's hard to get enough of. The recommended amount for an adult is 28 grams of soluble and insoluble fiber every day. However even when eating a healthy diet, a large percentage of the US is not getting half of that amount. doTERRA fiber is a simple easy way to add 6 grams of soluble and insoluble fiber into the diet every day. There are 3 characteristics of doTERRA fiber that set it a part completely from other fiber supplements on the market.
Three standout characteristics of doTERRA Fiber
It's natural, all the fiber comes from whole food sources there are no synthetic ingredients. Comes from apple fiber, tapioca fiber and flack seed. There are no added sugars.
Secondly it includes lemon Essential Oil. No other fiber supplement provides the detoxifying power of CPTG, Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade, lemon essential oil along with the health benefits of fiber in the same drink. Plus makes it taste so good.

doTERRA Greens
Finally we have doTERRA Greens, as we all know getting fruits and vegetables is an essential part in a healthy and balanced nutritious diet. Rich dark leafy greens are especially powerful for our health. It can take a lot of time and effort to prepare all the fruits and vegetables you need to eat daily. Which makes doTERRA Greens so helpful. In just one scoop you are getting kale, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, barley grass, pineapple, mango and more. Formulated with whole nourishing foods, every ingredient was chosen intentionally with optimal nutrition in mind. doTERRA Greens is the ideal companion to the Lifelong Vitality Pack which already provides all vitamins, minerals and nutrients both micro and macro to feel your best each day
Here are the three things you need to know about doTERRA Greens
It is a unique blend of fruits and vegetables like the fiber it is created using whole foods. No added sugars. Has a mixed berry flavor.
It provides a supper food blend as well as Ginger root extract and CPTG Lemon & Ginger essential oils
doTERRA Greens supplies you with ample nutrients to support energy levels, immune function, digestive health and even weight management

Next let's go over CPTG Lemon Essential Oil
Derived from the peal of the fruit and not the juice itself thus lemon oil is not acidic. No disease can exist in an alkaline environment. Part of our challenge is most of our foods are loaded with preservatives, sugars, and some have been genetically modified all which can add to a higher acid level in our body. The more acid in the body the less oxygen to the cells. By using Lemon Essential Oil just like other essential oils, we are creating a higher oxygen level in our bodies which will keep us more in an alkaline state. As there are artificial sweeteners, and modified ingredients there are less oxygen being created in our cells. As the cells decrease in oxygen and weaken, the immune system will weaken as well. Just by using lemon oil and citrus oils we are helping our body maintain greater balance. There are many other benefits with lemon oil including greater antioxidants support, cleansing, supporting organs and glands, neutralizing kidney stones, respiratory, cardiovascular, lymphatic, digestive support and the list goes on. By simply using lemon or other citrus oils daily by drinking them in your water, used along with LLV is foundation for a better health.

Creating Lasting Positive Change
Small daily habits will have life changing results, creating lasting positive change in our life. Achieving a higher state of health is not complicated and it doesn't have to feel hard. We just need to understand what we are working with.
"We don't rise to the level of our expectations we fall to the level of our training." ~Greek poet Archilochus
Let's go to habit school for a few minutes. As we think about our habits as our level of training when we are motivated to set new goals and create positive changes in our life we are going to be working against our current habits for a little while until the new ones take root. Many people found it takes 21 days to anchor a new habit in. This is what lead us to this curiosity of the essential oils we believed there is a better way to take care of ourselves. Our habits are very influential on the trajectory where we want to take our lives and they are entirely within our control. Once in place it creates a reinforcement of who we want to be.
There are three things to understand about habits
1. They have a compounding effect. Starting with small doable changes leads to more small changes. These little shifts create a big change.
I'm sure we all can think of a time where we tried to change too much at once.
If the change is from 0 to 60 it will not integrate as a habit.
Habits are integrated when the changes are less intense.
Adding in works better than taking away, as you crowd out the habits that are not supporting the life that you want to live.
A key question we want to ask ourselves...is this moving me forward or further away of whom I want to become.
2. There is a simple formula for adding in habits that stick quick, called Habit Stacking. Stacking a new habit onto an existing one is a simple way of going to the next level. The existing habit is an anchor in your day that you can attach a new habit onto.
Many of the habits we have in place right now came to be because we stacked them.
Lets say you want to integrate daily exercise stack a 20 min. family walk after dinner or stack it with the routine every time you leave your office, such as doing 20 squats.
Stacking works with existing things we are doing so building onto our morning and evening routine is a smart place to look at stacking a habit.
3. Third thing about habits is that they all work in a loop. Habits form by having a queue or a trigger before the habit and an award after. Whether we realize it or not we are forming habits all the time.
For an example a common one is reaching for our phone when we are board or overwhelmed. At some point we were board and reached for our phone and we got this hit of dopamine and a loop was formed.
All habits we currently have work this way. This is what causes our habits to go rogue at times.
A pathway was formed that linked feeling good to a habit we do not necessarily want to keep to supporting our health goals.
As we are looking to build new ones in we have to work with this queue habit reward loop.
If we go back to stacking the exercise routine by stacking in on a lunch break.
The lunch break time already exist and that’s the queue.
The habit is moving our body for 20 min. The award can be a smoothie after.
This sweat and smoothie stacking will teach your body that daily exercise is a habit worth keeping.
