What are essential oils?
- Essential oils are aromatic compounds found in plants, seeds, bark, flowers and trees.
- LESS IS MORE! They work best when used consistently in smaller amounts to support our body systems.
- When pure they are 100% natural and safe for babies, children, adults, elderly and animals.
Why I choose doTERRA essential oils.
As we go over routines and protocols for energy and focus, I want to make sure that the essential oils you are using are safe for internal use.
Most essential oils on the market today are full of synthetics and not safe for internal use. These are labeled "fragrance" and have synthetic ingredients along with a minute amount of real essential oil.
I use doTERRA because they are the most trusted, tested and safe essential oils on the market. If and essential oil is pure and safe for internal use you will also see a Supplemental Facts label with directions for use right on the bottle.

Lifestyle choices for sustained energy
Are you drinking enough water? The recommended intake of water per day is half your body weight in ounces. (ex. weight 150 = drink 75 ounces of water per day)
Citrus essential oils can be added to your water and are a gentle detoxer. Only use essential oils safe for internal use so look for the supplemental facts label. Be sure to use a glass or stainless steel bottle and not plastic. Citrus oils will break down the plastic and the toxins will leach into your water.
Are you getting enough sleep? If you are having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep check out this training: Tips on using essential oils for sleep.
Signs you may have a vitamin deficiency:
- lack of energy, fatigue, mood

Increasing nutrition (supplementation) supports healthy red blood cell function. But! This process doesn't happen overnight. Most of us notice how much supplements are helping when we stop taking them. That's when the light goes on!
Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen from your lungs to your body’s tissues. Your tissues produce energy with the oxygen. Red blood cells have a limited lifespan because they don't have a center membrane (nucleus). When a red blood cell travels through your blood vessels, it uses up its energy supply and only survives an average of 120 days.
So if you try supplements you need to give it time to feel a difference.
