The oil that got me to an oil class years ago is a BOGO today with Breathe.
On Guard and Breathe are the most coveted BOGO ever and we can load up at the perfect time of year!

On Guard can replace every germ-killing harsh chemical in your home.

It smells amazing...like a fall candle with clove, cinnamon and wild orange and is perfect to diffuse to kill germs in the air.
I've donated it to teachers many times....it's so inexpensive to kill germs in the classroom!

Just add three drops of a spray bottle with water and it kills all the germs. πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ

Did I mention, it's completely safe to use internally for sore throats, crud and immunity? There's a Pubmed study proving its effectiveness killing the flu virus.

Who needs the link?
This is a stand alone order. You will never be asked or required to order monthly or ever unless you want to.

Five. πŸ˜†
Five open and used Deep Blue sticks in my house at the moment.
That is how often we use it and throw it in sports bags, my purse and have it on hand.

Have you tried it?
If you have headaches and migraines, you need it.
If you have kids who play sports, you need it.

If you have aches and pains, you need it.
It is way better than BioFreeze and popping ibuprofen daily.

Join our next Two Minute Morning Challenge. Just scroll below to see all the super and whole foods in these daily vitamins. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Do it for YOU. There is a 30 day money back guarantee.

Start with the VMG+

What is the VMG+ vitamin green drink? (Be sure to read the whole post...you can save so much money when you don't have to buy separate tumeric, ginkgo biloba, Co-Q 10, elderberries, etc--they are already included in these vitamins. πŸ˜‰)

Over 90 whole foods, superfoods and minerals--everything listed in this post and more are in the VMG+ drink. They replace your multivitamin, greens and many other supplements you may purchase separately....read on!

🌱 It's your whole food daily multivitamins, minerals, fruits & vegetables, digestive enzymes, probiotics and superfood greens, ALL IN ONE.

🌱It is delivered in macro and micronutrient form that our body can easily absorb and use to support daily energy levels, immunity system function, gut health and digestion, liver function, hormone function and brain health. And it has a 30 day money back guarantee!

🌱 You ARE what you ABSORB from your vitamins. It's time to ditch the expensive p*e and vitamins that your body cannot use.

🌱 It tastes like a green goddess juice or a smoothie with pineapple and mango--not as a flavor but as the real fruit in the vitamin. Wow, right?!?

🌱 To put it simply, it's so good my teenagers drink it, even Jesse--and Jesse won't drink anything. Honestly, I wouldn't know its a vitamin just by the taste. It tastes THAT GOOD.

🌱 It has your daily vitamins and minerals along with tumeric/curcumin, Co Q10, elderberry, acai, goji, spirulina, kale, broccoli seed, maqui berry, dark sweet cherry extract, pomegranate, bromelain--in other words, packed with phytonutrients and antioxidants.

🌱Did I mention a probiotic built in to help your body absorb the goodness? Also liposomal delivery which increases absorption too--at least 400 times more absorbable!

🌱And the B vitamins are methylated--those that know what this means, IKYK.

🌱 The new, updated EO Mega+ is sourced from the Nordic seas and added to doTERRA's wild orange oil for its health benefits along with keeping the fish oil fresh and effective.

🌱 You mix the VMG+ sachet in a few ounces of water and drink it daily. One time...and it's YUMMY.

🌱 The VMG+ is $89.50 wholesale. This is a GOOD option.

🌱Add the EO Omegas on for $125. This is a BETTER option.

🌱 Add the PB Restore on for a total of $149.50 for all three for the BEST option. All three combined tackle overall foundational wellness and gut microbiome health.

🌱 But for those of you who REALLY want to know what is in the VMG+. Here is the comprehensive list.

But what makes these vitamins so different from other vitamins?

Your body can actually absorb them and USE them.

Every single ingredient I've listed above is included at a therapeutic dose that can be absorbed by your body optimally in this form.

That's right. Most OTC vitamins have a ton of things listed but it doesn't matter because your body cannot absorb them. That's when you waste your money and have expensive urine going down the drain.

The VMG+ are revolutionary in that you can USE what is in them.

The liposomal delivery is the future of vitamins.

Try them for 30 days and see! There is a 100% back money guarantee if you don't feel better. There's absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain.

The VMG+ are $89.50 for a 30 day supply.

The foundational bundle with the VMG+, EO Omegas and the PB Restore is $149.50 for ALL THREE. When you purchase the bundle you will receive the glass VMG+ shaker and peppermint oil for FREE.

I love the Serenity stick so much that I have two on my nightstand. (Using one up and brand new one on the ready.)

If you have trouble sleeping, I highly recommend the sleep stick, the Serenity softgels and the oil. The whole system is around $66.

Thought I knew most what of what there is to know about On Guard but no! πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ

I'm not surprised by this observation at all because he talks about using On Guard in the mouth, inflammation and heart rate.

Did you know that if you have an infection in your mouth that you're FOUR times as likely to die of a heart attack?

Keeping inflammation (bleeding gums) and inflammation down is imperative for oral health and overall systemic health.

Who needs help???

πŸ˜‘ Weight gain especially stubborn belly fat?

πŸ₯΅ Hormones including hot flashes? (Check out the testimony in the graphics.)

😑 Mood including irritability, anxiety and depression?

😬 High cholesterol?

🀒 Leaky gut and stomach issues?

πŸ’€ Sleep? You are so tired during the day and then you lay down at night and it's like a full-on circus hits your brain.

πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« Lack of focus. Overwhelm. Lists are a MUST because you just can't keep track of it all?

😩 Weird skin issues? Aging.

πŸ˜₯ Sometimes you just don't feel "right"" like this isn't your body anymore, your emotions and your life? Like what happened?

Gut health is directly tied to cortisol levels and overall health. As estrogen drops during perimenopause and menopause, we are at higher risk for:

🌿 Osteoporosis
🌿 Unexplained weight gain
🌿 Dementia and cognitive decline
🌿 Higher cholesterol and coronary artery disease (heart attacks and strokes)
🌿 Anxiety and depression

β€ΌοΈπŸ‘‰Approximately 95% of the body's serotonin is produced in the gastrointestinal tract (gut). Serotonin, a neurotransmitter, plays crucial roles in mood, appetite, sleep, and other functions.

πŸ™ƒ If we have an imbalance of bad bacteria, guess what? Our whole body suffers. Mental health. Bones. Skin/aging. Inflammation. Metabolism/weight gain. Oral health.

ALL of it!

dōTERRA's PB Restore ProBiome Complex is not like any other product on the market. It is a combination of 30 pre-, pro-, and postbiotics in a time-released, dual-chamber capsule to deliver a comprehensive approach to gut health.

🦠 Boosts gut health: By introducing 18 billion colony-forming units (CFUs) of 24 probiotic strains from 22 species, PB Restore aims to increase microbial diversity and balance in your gut. This diverse blend supports overall gut function, healthy metabolism, and a balanced inflammatory response.

πŸ™Œ Supports nutrient absorption: A healthy gut microbiome is more efficient at synthesizing and absorbing micronutrients from food, which helps your body to get the most out of your diet.

🀒 Promotes digestive comfort: According to dōTERRA, users may experience improved digestive comfort, with a reduction in occasional bloating and other uncomfortable symptoms.

πŸ’ͺ Strengthens gut barrier integrity: The supplement supports the integrity of your intestinal barrier, which is crucial for preventing harmful substances from entering the bloodstream.

πŸ’ͺ Supports immune function: Given that a significant portion of the immune system is located in the gut, a healthy microbiome can lead to better immune system function and overall resilience.

😁 Improves energy and mood: An unbalanced microbiome, also known as gut dysbiosis, can affect mood and cognitive function via the gut-brain axis. By helping to rebalance your gut, PB Restore contributes to a more stable mood and higher energy levels.

🫁 Supports skin and respiratory health: The postbiotics and metabolites produced by the bacteria in PB Restore have been associated with supporting skin health and the respiratory system.

It has:
🌿 Prebiotics: Short-chain fructooligosaccharides (FOS) act as food for the beneficial probiotic bacteria, helping them to colonize and grow.

🌿 Probiotics: Live, beneficial bacteria and yeast strains are delivered to your gut to help restore balance and diversity.

🌿Postbiotics: These are bioactive compounds, like short-chain fatty acids, that the probiotics produce. These compounds provide additional health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties.

🌿 Bacteriophages: These are "tiny helpers" that selectively target and eliminate unwanted bacteria without harming the beneficial strains.

πŸ€“ Advanced delivery system: A dual-chamber, time-released capsule protects the bioactive cultures from harsh stomach acids. The outer chamber contains the prebiotics and postbiotics, while the inner chamber, which dissolves later, contains the probiotics.

‼️This is THE most important part! See the photo? It's doubly encapsulated! The important parts of the supplement get though your stomach acid to your intestines where they are absorbed!‼️

The PB Restore is included in your Two Minute Morning Wellness bundle for $149.50, along with the VMG multivitamins and the omegas. You get ALL three for $149.50. And it has a money back guarantee.

You can purchase it separately for around $47 but it saves you more when you bundle with the multivitamin and omegas.

Join us Sept 15 for our Two Minute Morning Challenge! It is the VMG+ green superfood multivitamin drink, the omegas and the PB Restore.

πŸͺ₯ I got you with oral health. 🦷
I've been a hygienist for a long time.

If you have oral health concerns, feel free to DM me anytime. It's what I do.

What most folks don't realize is that the gram - germs in our mouths can wreak havoc on our overall health. 🦠🦠🦠

Having an infection in your mouth increases your risk of dying of a heart attack by FOUR TIMES. Let that one sink in.

Also, not all oral infections are painful. Abscesses from cavities can be terrible but what I see more are periodontal infections or gum disease. These usually do not hurt and are super sneaky. You can literally lose half the bone in your mouth without realizing the severity of the problem. 😳 I see this all the time. I hate having to break this to patients.

Bottom line.
Go to the dentist regularly.
Floss daily...PROPERLY, under the gums with string, not floss picks ..and water flossers do not count. Sorry!
Floss before you brush and before bed. Knock the bacteria and food loose between your teeth and then brush it away.
Flossing is not about getting food out. It's to mechanically loosen the bacterial biofilm that is between our teeth. The more times a day you can knock it down, the better. πŸ˜‰

Then a mouthwash that KILLS the germs that cause cavities and gum disease is the best!

Anchored by clove and its eugenol constituent to help sensitive teeth and gums.

And you get a "hit" of On Guard to boost your immunity. Win win!
