Lifelong Vitality

Over a year ago I was dealing with some heavy issues in my life. I was at a major turning point and I had to make some serious adjustments.  I wasn't sleeping well and was lacking energy during the day. My anxiety was having more control over me than I wanted to admit.  I had already been using dōTERRA Essential oils, but hadn't really gotten into the supplements. I did some reading and one thing I kept reading was how people felt more energized after taking the Lifelong Vitality Pack (LLV).

In November of 2017, I started taking the LLV.  At that point, I was having trouble sleeping more than 5 hours at a time. My mind was always racing and sleep evaded me. I didn't notice a change right away, but it did come.  Around the beginning of December I realized I was sleeping all the way until my alarm went off. I was sleeping 8 solid hours. I could go to bed and not toss and turn, and was waking up feeling rested.  It was working. The Life Long Vitality was doing what it was supposed to do. I was more energized and I noticed my mind had calmed down some.  

Now, you are probably wondering what Life Long Vitality is. LLV is a package of 3 supplements that each have their own function.  Alpha CRS+ is the cellular energy blend. With ingredients like L-Carnitine and Coenzyme Q10 your body will have more energy without a caffeine type spike so there is no crash either.   xEO Mega has your essential fatty acids, and those are necessary for healthy brain function. MicroPlex VMz had your essential vitamins and minerals. Combined, they work to help your body function better, therefore giving you more energy during the day. I still take my LLV and don't imagine a day that I will stop. If you have any questions, feel free to message me.

Improve your sleeping habits and recovery time after working out!

One of the complaints I often hear from people when they start working out is how they have to get used to the soreness.  I used to have a love/hate relationship with the stiffness and soreness that comes from working out.  I am already attached to several dōTERRA Supplements, so I figured I should reach out and see what others around me were using.  

I kept hearing about two oils over and over. One was DDR Prime and the other was Copaiba.  I put both of these on my next LRP order and patiently waited. I wanted to see how they worked independently, so the first night I took 2 DDR before bed. What happened next was not what I was thinking. Within a half hour I was relaxed and ready for bed. That night I slept like a rock.  My body took those ingredients and my body melted. It makes complete sense considering DDR Prime includes frankincense and lemongrass, two oils known to help with pain and tension. I kept taking the DDR Prime before bed, and a few weeks later, I realized some of my joint pain in my knees had lessened, as well.  Having the tools to help my body recover from working out and exercise has been a god send.  If you aren't one to take pills, the DDR Prime also comes in an oil form. The oil for can be applied with fractionated coconut oil for easier distribution and for spot application.   

Shortly after, I added in Copaiba.  This has been a game changer.  I won't go into it all, but the properties outweigh the ever popular CBD oil.  I added in just one pill into my night time routine and really noticed a shortening of my recovery time.  Not only does it help with pain and inflammation, but it also is calming to the nervous system, so it just helps you get that strong sleep.  Sleep is one of the most over looked factors when dealing with muscle repair and recovery. Lack of sleep has also been shown to increase certain types of cancer, as well as contribute to obesity.  Anything I can do to keep those things at bay is a plus in my books. The great thing is you are not stuck taking a pill if you don't want to. dōTERRA also offers Copaiba in an oil form. If you want it to affect you quicker, a drop under the tongue will do the trick.  If you want to apply it topically to a certain area, you can apply it diluted with fractionated coconut oil to the area.

Now there are times when I need just a little extra help easing my mind and body before bed. On those days, I use the  Serenity Complex from dōTERRA.  Not only does it help me sleep, but it helps me not focus on the soreness or stiffness from whatever I did that day.  Of course one of the ingredients is lavender oil, and that alone is a fave of mine. The next ingredient you might be familiar with is L-Theanine.  While L-Theanine is known to help with relaxation, I like it because there is no linger to it. I never feel groggy or out of sorts the day after. I will usually only need one of these if I add it to my Copiaba and DDR Prime.

 I hope these tips help you on your health journey. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
