Foundational Wellness – Immune Support

In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining a robust immune system is more important than ever. doTERRA’s Foundational Wellness approach offers a holistic way to support your immune health through carefully curated products and lifestyle practices. This blog will walk you through the essentials of building a resilient immune system with doTERRA’s innovative solutions.

The Wellness Pyramid: A Foundation for Health

At the core of doTERRA’s philosophy is the Wellness Pyramid, which emphasizes the importance of nutrition, exercise, rest, stress management, and toxin reduction. The Foundational Wellness Bundle complements these pillars by offering products designed to fortify the body’s natural defenses.

The Importance of Nutrition in Immune Health

Poor nutrition is a major risk factor for health issues, with nine out of ten impactful health risks linked to inadequate nutrient intake. When daily nutritional needs are unmet, the consequences can be severe—ranging from weakened bone health and cardiovascular issues to hormone imbalances and low energy levels. doTERRA’s nutritional products aim to bridge these gaps and promote overall wellness.

TerraZyme™: Enhancing Digestive Health

TerraZyme™ is a critical component of doTERRA’s approach to supporting immune health. This digestive enzyme complex aids in the breakdown of food, enhancing nutrient absorption and reducing digestive discomfort. By promoting a healthy digestive process, TerraZyme™ supports the gut’s role in immune function, helping the body efficiently extract and utilize nutrients essential for immune health.

EO Mega+ and PB Restore®: Powerhouses for Immune Support

  • EO Mega+ delivers 900 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids, including 800 milligrams of EPA and DHA, to support a healthy inflammatory response, improve gut health, and protect immune cells from oxidative stress. The addition of Wild Orange essential oil enhances its antioxidant properties, further bolstering immune resilience.
  • PB Restore® focuses on gut health, which is critical since 70% of the immune system resides in the digestive tract. This product enhances microbial diversity, strengthens gut barrier integrity, and modulates immune responses through a combination of probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics.

The Science Behind Key Ingredients

  • Acerola, Acai, Elderberry, and Cranberry are rich in vitamin C and polyphenols, supporting immune cell function and acting as powerful antioxidants.
  • Spirulina and Kale contribute to a balanced immune response by providing essential nutrients that regulate inflammation.
  • Chlorella and Artichoke Flower promote liver detoxification, which is vital for reducing the immune system’s stress.

On Guard Protective Blend: Nature’s Shield

doTERRA’s On Guard Protective Blend combines essential oils like Clove, Wild Orange, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, and Cinnamon to create a powerful defense against environmental threats. These oils not only support immune health but also offer aromatic benefits, freshening breath and purifying the air.

Enhancing Everyday Wellness

Incorporating doTERRA’s products into your daily routine can significantly enhance your immune system’s efficiency and resilience. From boosting energy levels to promoting restful sleep, these products are designed to help you “Win the Day” by starting strong and staying strong.

Building a resilient immune system requires a holistic approach, and doTERRA’s Foundational Wellness products provide the tools needed to support and maintain optimal health. By integrating these products into your daily life, you can empower your body to defend against health challenges and enjoy a healthier, more vibrant life.

Unwrap the Magic of the Holidays with Our DIY Essential Oils Crafts Class!

Discover festive DIY crafts using essential oils! Get inspired to add creativity and aroma to your holiday gifts. From upcycling the bottles to tasty treats we have ideas for everyone.

Let’s start off with some tasty treats to share with family and friends.

Here are some great upcycling crafts prepared by Dana Marshall a member of the AromaVibe.

Potpourri Diffuser

Step 1: start with a mason jar that has air holes in it.

Step 2: gather your potpourri and decorations that you want to use inside your jar diffuser I used: • pinecones • evergreen sprigs • slice of wood • small balls

Step 3: Add essential oil to the pieces in your potpourri that will absorb essential oil (such as wood slices and pinecones)
Tip: The amount of essential oil you use will vary by the size of your jar. For the large jar in these photos, I use about 20-25 drops essential oil.
Tip: You can add more essential oils to refresh the potpourri when the essential oil scent dissipates. Depending on the strength of the oils, the size of the jar, and the size of the room that the diffuser is in, the scent can last from a day to a week or more.

Step 4: Layer the items into your jar diffuser. Continue to layer more items into your diffuser.

Step 5: Finish your diffuser by putting the lid on and tying a pretty ribbon around the neck of the jar. (Most of this information was found on Pinterest and I added my own twist.)

Twig Christmas Ornament

Step 1: gather your twigs… I found mine when I went for a walk in the park and pick them up off the ground.

Step 2: cut the twigs in various links from small to large. This will form the branches of the Christmas tree.

Step 3: hot glue, the twigs to a back by using a popsicle stick or another twig.

Step 4: you can put a star or a ball or a ribbon at the top of the tree, hot glue that along with a string to hang the ornament in your tree .

Step 5: Use 3 to 4 drops of your favorite oil on the twigs. You can add more oil as the scent fades.

doTerra Bottle Ornament

Step 1: Gather your empty bottles.

Step 2: Gather ribbons.

Step 3: Gather together, small decorative items . Hot glue, your ribbons, bows, decorative items to the top of the glass bottle. Leave the lid off the bottle so that it can diffuse the leftover oil that is in the bottle. Make sure to put a string to hang it in the tree.

My Real Weight Loss Journey: An Honest Start

Weight loss isn’t a one-size-fits-all formula; it’s a deeply personal journey that often involves discovering what works uniquely for you. When I decided to embark on my own weight loss journey, I knew it wouldn’t be about quick fixes or strict diets but about creating a lifestyle I could maintain. I’m excited to share this journey with you, grounded in authenticity, self-discovery, and some transformative insights.

The videos I’ve shared capture this journey in real-time—the highs and lows, the challenges and achievements. Each step is shaped by lessons I’m learning, and I hope these glimpses into my journey will inspire others who feel it’s time to take that first step. Here are the first two for you to review.

I started off playing it “safe” sharing some of my routines as well as some the things I already knew as well as things I am learning.


The Realization and the Resolve

Starting out, I knew that consistency would be key. I wanted more than just to lose weight; I wanted to feel truly good, energized, and free. Watching back my initial videos reminds me of the commitment I made: to show up for myself, even on tough days. This isn’t just about numbers on a scale; it’s about living fully.

For me accountability is key is well as consistency. So as I added Zestal Trim to my routine, I wanted to document it. I started by doing for 4 day trial and I shared

Here is my 4 day Zestal Trim review.

Finding My Rhythm

Early in the journey, I quickly learned that small, steady changes often had the biggest impact. Tracking my progress on video is bringing me a new sense of accountability, but it also allows me to see the shifts in mindset and energy as well as in my body that aren’t always visible on the scale. Movement and weightlifting have been part of my weekly routine since for many years and is an important part of my journey. Incorporating new habits such as exploring foods that felt right for my body, focusing on macros, having great coaches, and leaning on tools like journaling and self-compassion are now part of building a new routine.

Staying Honest, Staying Real

If there’s one thing I’ve committed to in this journey, it’s honesty—especially with myself. Weight loss is often glorified in our culture, but in reality, it requires a willingness to look at ourselves deeply. Sharing these moments with you through videos has been both empowering and vulnerable, a reminder that no one has it all together all the time.

Here is my most venerable post so far as I share my real body in real time.


This journey is ongoing, and I look forward to sharing more in my upcoming posts and videos. We’ll dive into the practices that are working, how I handle setbacks, and the small wins that make it all worth it. For now, thank you for joining me as I take each step toward a healthier, happier me.

VMG+ Whole Food Nutrient Complex

What is VMG+ Whole Food Nutrient Complex?

The VMG+ Whole Food Nutrient Complex is a powerful, bioavailable, whole-food supplement that supports foundational wellness by providing essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients derived from natural sources. Its unique liposomal technology, probiotics, and essential oil blend enhance absorption, making it a superior choice over synthetic multivitamins.


Why Supplement with VMG+?

1. Modern Diet Challenges

  • Due to soil depletion and dietary shifts, it’s difficult to get the same nutrients our grandparents did from food alone. Today, you might need 8 oranges to match the vitamin A content in 1 orange from years past.

2. Gut Health Support

  • Our society is often overfed yet malnourished. Poor diet, chronic stress, and hidden imbalances weaken gut health, impacting nutrient absorption.

3. Bio-individuality

  • Each person has unique health needs based on genetics, lifestyle, and environment. VMG+ provides an adaptable solution for daily nutrition.

Key Features of VMG+

  • Whole-Food Based Nutrients: Plant-derived vitamins, minerals, and cofactors.
  • Methylated B Vitamins: Supports optimal methylation, essential for detoxification, DNA repair, and cardiovascular health.
  • Liposome Technology: Advanced delivery system enhancing nutrient absorption for more effective results.
  • Probiotics and Digestive Enzymes: Support gut health and nutrient assimilation.

Unique Blends in VMG+

  1. Bioavailability Boosting Blend: Essential oils like Lavender, Lemongrass, Ginger, Peppermint, and Wild Orange double the absorption of nutrients.
  2. Cellular Support Blend: Includes NAC, broccoli seed extract, and CoQ10 to support cellular health, detoxification, and antioxidant defenses.
  3. Nutrition and Superfood Blends: Provide phytonutrients, antioxidants, and a range of whole-food nutrients.

Benefits of VMG+

  • Energy and Vitality: Supports steady energy levels by addressing nutrient deficiencies.
  • Immune System: Enhances immune defenses with whole-food nutrients.
  • Gut Health and Digestion: Probiotics and enzymes aid digestive health.
  • Liver and Hormone Function: Supports detoxification and hormone balance.
  • Brain Function: Nutrients essential for mental clarity and cognitive support.

How to Use VMG+ Whole Food Nutrient Complex

  • Daily Routine: Take with meals as part of your foundational wellness routine.
  • Stacking Options: VMG+ can be combined with other doTERRA products for a more tailored wellness approach.
  • No “Pill Fatigue”: Whole-food-based, bioavailable nutrients reduce the need for multiple supplements.

Why Bioavailability Matters

The bioavailability of nutrients in VMG+ ensures that your body absorbs and utilizes them more efficiently. The liposomal technology used in VMG+ delivers nutrients directly to your cells, which enhances their effectiveness compared to traditional capsules or tablets.


Nourish Your Foundation: Set a reminder to integrate VMG+ into your daily wellness routine. Your journey to better foundational health starts with proper nutrition.
