Discover how carefully selected essential oils and supplements can be your allies in promoting a happy tummy. Get ready to embrace the aromatic dance of digestive support and bid farewell to belly blues. Let’s make digestive wellness a fragrant celebration – because your gut deserves to feel fantastic!

Supplements Explained: Digestive

You may have noticed doTERRA has quite a few supplements all intended to benefit your digestive system.* If you’ve ever wondered why that is, look no further than the statistics. Digestive health is a prime concern for people, and many struggle with digestive issues. doTERRA supplements help keep the various components of the digestive system functioning at their best.*

DigestZen® Softgels

When you want to take DigestZen Digestive Blend with you to soothe occasional stomach discomfort, these softgels are a great option because you don’t have to fill your own vegetable capsule.* With two drops per capsule, you can take one softgel as needed.

Suggested Use:

  • Take after a meal to promote digestion.*
  • When traveling or trying new foods, ingest to soothe occasional stomach discomfort.*
  • Take with water or tea to maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract.*

DigestZen DigestTab®

This chewable tablet is designed for individuals with sensitive stomachs. Its calcium carbonate works to neutralize and reduce acid.* Ginger, Peppermint, Caraway, Coriander, Anise, Tarragon, and Fennel soothe and support the digestive system.*

Suggested Use:

  • Use as needed for relief from occasional stomach upset and heartburn.*
  • Take one tablet to soothe occasional acid indigestion and help reduce unwanted belching and bloating.*

doTERRA TerraZyme™

Your body produces metabolic enzymes from the food you eat. It needs plenty of enzymes to digest food and help cells convert nutrients into energy. However, processed, cooked, and preservative-laden foods in the modern diet are often deficient in enzymes. doTERRA TerraZyme contains a blend of active enzymes and supporting cofactors to make up the difference.*

Suggested Use:

  • Take one to three capsules with meals. Adjust depending on what you’re eating. If you’re eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, take one. If you’re eating highly processed foods, take two to three capsules.

GX Assist®

GX Assist is the natural way to cleanse with both caprylic acid and essential oils.* These ingredients create an unfriendly environment for potential threats that cause digestive issues.*

Suggested Use:

  • Take one to three softgels with meals quarterly. Use for 10 days before PB Assist+®. Don’t take at the same time as PB Assist+.

PB Restore ProBiome Complex®

doTERRA PB Restore ProBiome Complex is a unique formulation of 30 pre-, pro-, and postbiotics and bacteriophages that help restore microbial diversity and balance for optimal microbiome health and overall wellness.* The 18 billion colony-forming units (CFUs) of probiotics, or good bacteria, consist of 24 active cultures—an unparalleled variety of carefully selected strains from 22 different species—for exceptional microbial diversity.* The prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and bacteriophages help achieve and maintain microbial balance by encouraging the growth of good bacteria and selectively attacking the bad.* The postbiotic—made up of bioactive compounds produced from healthy bacteria—provides additional health benefits.*

The doTERRA PB Restore dual-chamber, time-released delivery system supports the body throughout the day.* It aids digestive comfort, micronutrient synthesis, gut barrier integrity, and healthy metabolism.* Metabolites produced by the bacterial strains in doTERRA PB Restore have been shown to support skin health, the respiratory and immune systems, and a healthy inflammatory response.* Early research on certain ingredients—including L. Rhamnosus CRL 1505, the postbiotic in doTERRA PB Restore—indicates they may also help with brain, cardiovascular, urological, and metabolite function, as well as a healthy DNA response to oxidative stress.*

Suggested Uses:

  • Take one double-layer capsule per day to promote the colonization of friendly digestive flora and for ongoing digestive maintenance.*

PB Assist+ ProBio Complex®

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is responsible for digesting and absorbing nutrients and eliminating bodily waste from the body. A wide variety of microbes are needed to process food and produce important chemicals that assist the immune system and other bodily functions. A balanced diet is key to building a healthy gut microbiome that’s resilient and adapts quickly to circumstances. Additional support for the gut microbiome can come from supplementation.

Formulated for the entire family and gluten-free, PB Assist+ ProBiome Gut Complex provides a unique blend of diverse genus, species, and strains of pre- and probiotics. This great-tasting strawberry melon–flavored powder should be taken daily. PB Assist+ combines 13 probiotic strains and one prebiotic fiber—fructooligosaccharides (FOS)—for healthy gut colonization.*

The live cultures in PB Assist+ are microencapsulated, meaning they have a protective covering that ensures they survive the harsh, acidic stomach environment so they can reach the gut alive. PB Assist+ delivers seven billion AFUs† (live cells) in active probiotic cultures, as well as soluble prebiotic FOS to encourage friendly bacterial growth, providing important microbiome support.*

†AFU stands for active fluorescent units. This unit of measure comes from a modern, sophisticated flow cytometry test method for the precise enumeration of live cells.

Suggested Use:

  • Consume one sachet daily directly or in cold water, juice, or yogurt. Don’t mix with hot water.

Zendocrine Detoxification Complex

Instead of essential oils, this complex contains herbs that traditionally support the liver and detoxification.* It affects the body differently compared to Zendocrine Softgels, meaning you experience new benefits. We recommend trying both to see which works best for you.

Suggested Use:

  • Take two capsules daily (one in the morning and one in the evening) with food to support cleansing organs.*

Improve Your Overall Wellness by Forgiving

Beyond Possibilities

Resentment, anger, and unresolved conflicts may be affecting your physical, mental, and spiritual health. Karen Swartz, M.D., director of the Mood Disorders Adult Consultation Clinic at The Johns Hopkins Hospital share that forgiveness is more than say I am sorry or I forgive you. She states, “It is an active process in which you make a conscious decision to let go of negative feelings whether the person deserves it or not,” in the article Forgiveness: Your Health Depends on It.

In February 12, 2021 Harvard Health published The power of forgiveness which states, “There are two sides to forgiveness: decisional and emotional. Decisional forgiveness involves a conscious choice to replace ill will with good will”.

Take a deeper dive

There are been research studies that have shown a mind body connection. In the article How Forgiveness Benefits Your Health: Forgiving Wrongdoers Can Expand Physical Fitness states, “Research has shown time and time again that our minds and bodies are linked: stress and depression can breed fatigue, while a positive outlook on life can provide us with an increased amount of energy. Willpower and determination can make us run faster and longer”.

We Are Creating

Beyond Possibilities

As I scrolled through Facebook on Tuesday, June 16, 2022 a friend shared the following image:

Another friend responded “I actually wish them pain now 😉” With a link to a the following song:

This hit home. 18 1/2 years ago we moved because we where running from my X-husband. As my family prepares to move once again, there are major differences. First we as a family are not running. Second we are creating new opportunities. Third we are energetically preparing ourselves, our current home and our future home through prayer, meditation, setting intentions, shielding, smudging, and defusing essential oils.

As I continued to reflect I realized that our pain has allowed us growth. We have all had amazing things, hard things, funny things, and painful things happen while in our current house. We have met amazing people along the way, we have shared amazing memories, and learned valuable lessons. I am grateful for the people we are becoming through our experiences. Some of our greatest growth through our time as a family has come from pain.

I choose the pain that may come from moving to allow us expanded growth. So as we are selecting our new home we are creating what type of home we want it to be. We are creating the physical aspect we want in our new home as well was the energetic aspects we want. Just like we created in our current home we want our new space to be one of love, laughter, hope, peace, healing, possibilities and growth spiritually, emotionally, physically, and mentally. We want a place where all who enter in feel welcome and accepted. We are excited to cook, bake, grill, smoke, learn, play, and grow together. Creating a new chapter completely from possibility, hope, love, and excitement is invigorating. Here’s to living from creation daily!

Mindful Moments

Beyond Possibilities

I declare 2022 will be my best year ever; full of breakthroughs, connections, strength and gratitude!

Yesterday as I set my intentions and meditated on what I wanted to create in 2022 for myself, my family, and my business there was a void. I was frustrated, but I know that answers don’t come in my time but in God’s time. Then like a lightning bolt it came to me as I was working out this morning. “It’s in the mindful moments, not the all or nothing.”

Such powerful truth that I have explored before. I have struggled with being all or nothing. 100% Success or 100% Failure. Over the last 15 years I have done a lot of work both personally and professionally to break that way of being. But if I am not mindful it creeps back in.

This year I am committing to having more mindful moments. Moments of movement, mediation, journaling, grounding, prayer, study, and more.

I am also returning to school to work on a Marriage and Family degree. This both excites and scares me. I know I am going to need to be more mindful and intentional with my time and schedule. I will need to be mindful of scheduling in 5 minutes of mediation or 10 minutes of movement throughout my schedule to help me stay focused.

What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a state of active, open attention to the present. This state is described as observing one’s thoughts and feelings without judging them as good or bad.

While mindfulness is a basic human ability it’s more readily available to us when we practice it. It is being fully present. It is being aware of where we are, what we are doing and what is going on around us. When we are mindful we are intentional with our actions and reactions to the situation.

There is growing research that shows when you train your brain to be mindful your are rewiring or remodeling the physical structure of your brain.

Who wants to join me?

Take a few minutes to mediate on what you want to create in 2022 then journal it, create a visual reminder of your declaration and post it where you will see it everyday.

Throughout the year I will be posting mindful moment prompts, mediations, Mindful Movement sessions and more on my social media accounts. So join me on Instagram, Facebook and/or Linkedin.
