Sweating is so good for you. 💦 Yep, sweating. This function is an important detox pathway. Sweating can also help your body flush out heavy metals.

When it comes to good old-fashioned sweat sessions, you can sweat by exercising or by using a sauna.

Some saunas allow you to incorporate essential oils for additional relaxation and detoxing.

If you are in the market for a sauna (or can't use one at your local spa or gym), look for an infrared sauna that carries even more health benefits.

Can’t find (or purchase a sauna), go for a brisk walk, lift some weights, do a moderate HIIT workout, anything that gets your blood pumping and the sweat rolling.

After your sweat session, take a nice warm shower, followed by 10-15 seconds of cold water.

How do you get your sweat on?

Unless you have a very active job (teacher, nurse, postman, fitness instructor, etc) you probably aren’t getting as much movement each day. A desk job can cause stress on your joints, muscles can atrophy over time, your flexibility becomes more limited…its just not a good combination.

Movement adds so much to our lives:

⚡ Increases your energy
⚡ Improves your mood
⚡ Allows you to think clearer
⚡ Supports better mental health

Those are just the side benefits to getting 30 minutes of activity each day.

If you aren’t very active, don’t just jump into a huge workout routine if it’s been a while. Just aim for 15 minutes of movement 2X a day. Add a short walk after your meals or when you need a break from your computer. The steps will add up, your heart will be healthier, and your mood will improve.

Essential oils are a great addition to your bedtime routine. Oils can change your physical state (awake vs asleep). Finding the right essential oils for you is just as easy as testing different diffuser blends and see how you feel in the morning.

Try a diffuser blend, and then in the morning write what the blend was and how your sleep quality was. If you wear a Fitbit or a watch that monitors your sleep, add that date to your notes.

Oils that support sleep are:

💧 Magnolia (very high in linalool)
💧 Lavender
💧 Cedarwood
💧 Vetiver
💧 Serenity
💧 Frankincense
💧 Copaiba

Trouble drifting off to Dreamland? Difficulty staying asleep? Try this blend and roll along the bottoms of your feet when you are getting ready for bed and you’ll be dozing off in no time!

In a 10 mL roller add:

💧 10 drops Vetiver
💧 15 drops Lavender
💧 5 drops Frankincense
💧 5 drops Cedarwood

Top with your favorite carrier oil.

Want more reasons to get in your daily movement? How about it supports better sleeping habits?

Exercise can help you to fall asleep faster and improve your sleep quality. In particular, exercise increases your overall sleep quality and lets you sleep longer. By exercising in the early morning or afternoon your body is ready for downtime at night.

Try to avoid exercising within two hours before you go to bed as strenuous activity at this time can stop you from falling asleep as exercise gives you a burst of energy to keep going for a few hours after.

Want those littles to fall asleep faster? Take them to the park to run around for at least 30 minutes in the afternoon.

“Drink a warm glass of milk before bed, that will help you sleep.”

How ‘bout “no”?🤢🤢🤢

If warm milk is your jam, go for it. It’s not mine. However there are foods you can incorporate at dinner or evening snacks, so when it comes to bedtime you can fall asleep and stay asleep.

✔️Bananas
✔️Almonds
✔️Chickpeas
✔️Fish
✔️Spinach
✔️Milk
✔️Whole grain cereal
✔️Oatcakes

Each of these boost your serotonin levels (the precursor to melatonin) which help you fall asleep faster. So, slice up half a banana over your cereal with milk and skip the melatonin gummy and see how you feel in the morning. 😉

Scrolling Instagram, Tiktok, or watching TV just before bed are big culprits when it comes to sleep problems. (Not to mention that it impacts how much s*x you are having before bed as well…)

📺 Our cell phones, laptops, and TVs all emit blue light. Blue light can affect your body’s natural circadian rhythm if exposed within 2 hours of going to sleep.

Blue light suppresses the production of melatonin, our naturally occurring sleep hormone, which tells your body it’s tired and needs to sleep. The sun emits blue light, which is why it's easy to wake up when the sun is shining in the window.

The easiest ways to prevent blue light from wreaking havoc on your sleep? Ditch the screens 2-3 hours before going to bed. Swap your screen habit for a good old-fashioned book. Try using blue blocker glasses when using screens or turn on your blue light blocker on your phone while scrolling.

Do you have trouble falling asleep at night?

The circadian rhythm, also known as your internal body clock, is responsible for making you feel alert and sleepy throughout the day. Ideally, you should feel most alert early in the morning and sleepy as it becomes darker and later in the day.

The circadian rhythm is the reason why teenagers find it difficult to go to bed and wake up early, because their melatonin is released later than adults and children, so they’re awake later. Jet lag and shift work also interfere with the natural body clock as well as long and irregular hours.
Get ready to hack your circadian rhythm for sleep:

✅ Go to bed and get up at the same time every day
✅ When you wake up, take a morning walk and get some sunlight on your face
✅ Try a sunlight alarm clock that wakes you up with light
✅ Pop citrus and mint oils in your diffuser to start waking up your senses

Did you know that your body cools down as it's time to go to sleep and warms back up when it’s time to wake up? 🤯

If the temp in your bedroom is too warm, it can throw off how you sleep or cause you to wake up in the middle of the night. Aim for 65 degrees F (18C) in your bedroom.

It is important to note that your PJs, sheets, and blankets all affect how you sleep.

Do you think 65 degrees F (18C) is too cold to sleep in?

17/10/2022

You already know that you’re supposed to get 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Sleep is so important for your mental health, cell turnover, and emotional well-being, and it's when your body clears neurotoxins from the brain.

Best practices for better sleep? Make your bedroom a sanctuary.

💤 Blackout curtains
💤 Air Purifier
💤 A cool 65-68 degrees F
💤 A diffuser with your favorite calming sleepy time blend starting 30 minutes before sleep
💤 Leading your body through a short series of stretches before bed
💤 Reduce your bluelight and EMF–ditch the TV from your bedroom, turn off the WIFI at night, and set your phone to airplane mode

Sleepy Time Blend

💧 3 drops Balance
💧 3 drops Peace

Did you know that probiotics are only half the equation when it comes to a health gut biome?

👉 What’s the other half?

PREbiotics. Prebiotics are compounds that feed your probiotics. No, sugar is not welcome to the party. This is why eating whole foods high in fiber are so important. Aim to eat apples, walnuts, oats, and lentils (plus other fiber-rich foods) daily to feed your probiotics.

Challenge: Incorporate one fiber-rich food at each meal.

15/10/2022

Digestion is something most people do not want to talk about, but when you finally find the relief you can’t stop talking about it.

👉 Two crucial supplements that have supported my everyday gut health have been PB Assist (and PB Assist Jr.) which we talked about yesterday and Terrazyme.

I love TerraZyme. I sing its praises from the rooftops kind of love.🥰

DigestZen TerraZyme® is a proprietary blend of active whole-food enzymes. I take this supplement after every meal (and when I decide to treat myself). This supplement helps with the digestion of proteins, fats, complex carbohydrates, sugars, and fiber.

To see how it works in action, take a bowl of oatmeal or a pudding pack and dump the contents of one TerraZyme into it and stir. Within 30 seconds you’ll begin to see the breakdown. Within two minutes, it will practically look like a liquid. That’s because the enzymes in TerraZyme are meant to support the breakdown of gluten and lactose as well!

Try the challenge and share your results in the photo. It’s mind-blowing. Do you swear by TerraZyme?

What’s on the flip side of eating inflammatory foods?
✅Foods that are actually good for your gut.

If you are thinking of probiotic foods you are right!

Step 1: Make sure you are taking a good quality probiotic (like PB Assist or PB Assist Jr. every day)

Step 2: Add fiber to your diet so the good bacteria have a thriving food source

Step 3: Cut your sugar intake

Step 4: Add in probiotic-friendly foods like Greek yogurt, fermented sauerkraut, kimchi, fermented pickles, Kombucha or Kefir, and eat a little bit of these at each meal. Just check the labels for “probiotic cultures'' to ensure they have the live beneficial bacteria you are looking for.

Have you tried fermented food yet? Do you like it? What’s your favorite?

👀Spoiler alert: coffee doesn’t count as water…even if it's black.😑

Repeat after me: “Water, movement, whole foods.”

If you focus on just starting with these 3 foundational building blocks to biohacking your health you will start feeling better within weeks.

But wait, I don’t like water!

What can you do instead? Add your oils! Citrus oils like Lemon, Grapefruit, or Wild Orange add flavor while supporting your body’s detoxing capabilities. Win-win!

🥛 Start with just ½ ounce of water per pound of weight you are. A 130 lb woman should drink 65 oz of water a day. Drink a bit more if you are very active or the weather is particularly hot out.

Be honest, how much water do you actually drink each day?

A well-balanced diet is the foundation to good health, right? And on top of that, 80% of our immune system lives in our gut. 😱

So what that tells us is that it is important we are properly supplementing our bodies so that they have the right vitamins and nutrients to keep us healthy and happy. Luckily for us, doTERRA has that covered with their foundational supplements.

Lifelong Vitality, or LLV for short, is one of doTERRA’s best-selling products! For good reason, LLV supplements are made up of whole foods. The essential nutrients and powerful antioxidants are designed to help promote energy, health, and lifelong vitality. LLV is gentle on the stomach and free of any genetically modified material.

When it comes to biohacking, we love that Vitamin D3 and Omega 3, 6, and 9 can be found in our very own LLV supplements.

Vitamin D helps with energy levels, fights disease, and reduces occasional sad feelings. Take some Vitamin D and get some sunshine!

Healthy fats are essential for a healthy brain, and omega-3s are one of the best! Fish oils contain EPA and DHA, which have anti-inflammatory properties and protect the cell from damage.

👉 Did you know that LLV has a 30-day money-back guarantee? Try it for 30 days and if you are not satisfied, doTERRA will refund your money completely. What have you got to lose?

Women lose about 2% of their bone density every year after hitting their mid-30s. This continues for a few years following menopause. (Men lose bone density at a much
s l o w e r rate than women.)

What can we do to support our bones?

💪 Strength training + Supplementing

Strength training allows you to increase your bone density, along with building strong muscles, and will be less likely to have a fracture.

Supplementing, on the other hand, with a supplement like doTERRA’s Bone Nutrient Complex. This supplement provides calcium and magnesium plus Vitamin D2 and D3 for better calcium absorption.

How many bones have you broken? 👇

There are SO many benefits to getting your GREENS in every day.

✅Vitamins
✅Minerals
✅Fiber

…basically, a ton of nutrition to flood your gut with!

If you aren’t getting enough fiber, chances are you aren’t eating your daily recommended serving of 4-5 fruits and veggies each day.

👉Insert doTERRA Greens!

Each serving of doTERRA Greens provides 1-2 servings of fruits & veggies! Plus this is a good source of fiber and Vitamin C. Just mix with 8 oz of water and drink up or add to your favorite smoothie.

Do you struggle to get all of your fruits and veggies in?

09/10/2022

🛑STOP SCROLLING🛑 This is your sign to add some fiber to your diet!

No, I’m not going to get all preachy like the old fiber commercials from the 80s.

Ok…maybe a little bit.

The standard American diet is devoid of fiber–it's no wonder why it's also known as SAD. 🤣 The amount of processed foods we eat has lead to low bacterial diversity in our gut flora. Fiber feeds our gut flora. If you are eating more processed foods than whole foods (like veggies and fruit at each meal), chances are you need some extra fiber.

We only need 25 grams of fiber a day. Focus on eating dark leafy greens, fruits, complex carbs, and healthy fats. If you need a little extra support, try our doTERRA Fiber (which has both soluble and insoluble fiber).

Be honest, are you getting all the fiber you need? 👇

08/10/2022

, Keto, Whole30– there are a slew of elimination diets out there. When it comes to biohacking though, it isn’t a specific “diet” per say, it is figuring out what works for your body specifically. 💪

Some of the biggest catalous of inflammation in your body can be linked to wheat, dairy, and sugar so these are good areas to reflect on HOW you feel after you are consuming these things.

A good place to start can be to eliminate one area at a time to see how your body feels. Start slowly, don’t eliminate everything at once. To get started, eliminate one thing (wheat for example) from your diet for 3 weeks. Record how your body feels each day as you are not consuming wheat. Then introduce a day where you eat this a few times that day and record how your body feels after each meal, the next day, and two days after eating.

👉 Do your joints hurt less?
👉 Are you less bloated?
👉 Are you experiencing less heartburn?

This is actually allowing you to tune into being present with your body and having a ton of awareness around what foods make your body feel good, and what foods make you feel “not so great!”

Who’s committing to removing one inflammatory food from their diet for 21 days and sharing their results? 🙋

Intermittent Fasting (IF) is not just trendy, it’s backed by science. 💥

Just remember our safety tips! Listen to your body and check in with your physician.

What exactly is intermittent fasting?

Intermittent fasting is when somebody goes between 12 to 16 hours without food. This may sound hard, but if you stop eating at 8 PM at night and don’t eat until after 8 AM, you’re already fasting. (YAY YOU!)

Why does I.F. work so well?

Naturally, you are not consuming during your fasting period, but when you do break your fast (get it…BREAKfast) you want to by consuming healthy protein, fats, and complex carbohydrates. Naturally, this stops the unconscious snacking late at night so you have a lower amount of sugar spikes and crashes. I.F. is a great biohack because it improves your body’s insulin sensitivity (helping us not fall into or reverse insulin resistance).

While you are fasting you can have black tea, black coffee, and water. I still love to add my favorite citrus oils to my water.

Have you tried intermittent fasting? How do you feel when you fast?

8th-grade science check! 🤓

Energy in your body comes from????

The mitochondria. 🥳 AKA the powerhouse of the cell. We have trillions of cells in our bodies, so we have trillions of mitochondria that keep us up and running.

The number 1 thing we can do to support our body (and increase our energy) is to reduce temporary inflammation.

This happens by eating quality foods, supplementation, getting movement in each day, proper sleep, and mindset. I know it sounds like a broken record, but our bodies were made to function a certain way for optimal health.

Unfortunately, we don’t always do everything we should to take proper care of ourselves.

Over the course of this month, I’m going to introduce to you biohacks for all aspects of your physical, mental, and emotional health.

Have you heard the buzz on biohacking your body?

Biohacking your body means changing your chemistry and your physiology through science and self-experimentation to increase your energy and vitality.

👉 In layman’s terms “do-it-yourself” biology.

There’s a ton of stuff out there. From movement to mindset, from what you eat to how you eat it. 🤯

This month, we’re breaking down biohacking your body so you can become the best version of you. Live longer, have more energy, and be happier.

Before we dive in, a couple of biohacking safety tips:

➕ Listen to your body. Seriously, this is a huge one. Biohacking isn’t about incorporating several things at once. It’s about small, consistent practices that change your body in the long run. So, if something feels off, don’t push it.

➕ Always consult with a practitioner specializing in integrative health and nutrition practices, who will support (and observe) you on your journey.

Who's ready to start biohacking with me?
