The Outline: Fall Wellness
Did you know immune systems can be “switched off” due to stress, digestive weakness, unbalanced gut flora, and lack of key nutrients? There’s nothing better than knowing your stuff, feeling empowered, and putting your family's health in your own hands! A well-rested and nourished body equals a healthy one, and my research will help you learn how to stay in control of your family's health, just as we have.
You’ll learn how to:
+Balance your gut flora (or your microbiome)
+Obtain adequate key nutrients (and which ones!) to maintain and balance homeostasis in the body
+Create an internal environment that only promotes wellnessYou can reply to this email with any comments or questions.
Biology has come far in the past 30 years of studying our bodies. We now know that genetics have very little to do with our health outcomes in most cases. The new field of epigenetics shows us how our environment switches genes on and off, and the field of systems biology takes a holistic approach to looking at your whole body and its function, unlike the “parts” mentality of the MD world.We know much more than we did 30 years ago about our bodies and immune systems and the medical world hasn’t caught up.
There are things we can do when our bodies aren't working at their peak, which are especially important! Functional gut health is essential to keep the immune system working for us. High-sugar diets majorly disrupt immune systems.
When you consume too much processed sugar, candida growth occurs, and your body creates gleo-toxins that kill healthy gut bacteria and disrupt your immune function. This will compromise your body, yet it is naturally easy to correct in with intelligent, conscious choices.
Support your thyroid. Support your gut. Limit processed foods!
There are a few theories of research on the immune system. First, there is Germ Theory created by French chemist Louis Pasteur (pasteurization ringing any bells?) in the 1860s. The main premise is that eliminating germs eliminates disease. The two-system view of our immune system where the innate system naturally receives pathogens into our bodies and the adaptive immune system creates antibodies fits nicely into this theory.
At about the same time, another immune-system theory called Terrain Theory was introduced by rival chemist Antoine Bechamp. This theory says you can get sick from the microorganisms we come into contact with only when the internal environment of our bodies becomes favorable to disease. In other words, our health is based on the health of our microbiome (our guts!) and the state of our bodies. Lots of new research supports this theory! Specifically, science has found three additional systems within our immune system, including the microbiome, which communicates directly to the neural system (our brains).
Our bodies have been intricately made to support health and wellness, and science is JUST NOW catching up on how it actually works! WITH LOTS MORE TO STILL UNDERSTAND! Interestingly, when your body does get sick, that’s its way of healing. Marked with inflammation, heat, pain, and swelling, our bodies are trying to restore balance and health.
What is one thing you found particularly interesting from this?
Dr. Weston Price found that when traditional cultures still prepared their meals, the nutrient density of food equated to better overall health. In contrast, relatives who incorporated modern, processed foods had more tooth decay, crooked teeth, poor immune health, and high infectious disease rates.Interestingly, when we look at current nutritional research, it tends to isolate single nutrients as opposed to whole foods, focusing on supplements and vitamins alone.
While there are vital nutrients you want to hone in on to stay well, it’s essential to recognize that nutrients work synergistically. Nature knows what it’s doing! Whole foods don’t have a label. Whole foods are fresh and in season. Whole foods are grown in healthy soil.Let’s be realistic: we have to buy some packaged food. These foods should have simple ingredients with no preservatives and be labeled Organic & Non-GMO, ensuring we get these natural vitamins from healthy soil and untreated plants.
Nourishing foods include eggs from pasture-raised chickens, bone broth and slow-cooked meats, leafy green vegetables, salmon and fatty fish, and full-fat dairy products.All animal products must be from grass-fed or pasture-raised animals (and wild-caught fish) to ensure they are eating what nature intended (and not corn and soy) so that the nutrients are actually in there!
Many vitamins are formulated based on cost, opting for the least expensive forms of vitamins, not the most bio-available. Synthetic nutrients are not well utilized by your body and are often not absorbed or metabolized. They are a big fat waste of money!
Nutrients work best synergistically–together like we see them do in whole food forms. Mineral chelates are minerals already in a form the human body can easily absorb and are already bound to an amino acid, making it easier to metabolize. Typically, minerals can compete with each other for absorption. But these chelates are ionically neutral and won't block the absorption of other vitamins & minerals.
YL’s Master Formula is your go-to if you don’t have a quality nutrient insurance plan! It uses a Synergistic Suspension Isolation process to deliver different nutrients to your body. Ingredients have been separated into different capsules depending on how ingredients work with each other.
Capsule One has fat-soluble vitamins A, D3, E, and K, along with the essential oils (fat-soluble) Turmeric, Cardamom, Clove, Fennel, and Ginger.
Capsule Two is a powder that contains vitamin A, water-soluble B vitamins, folate, and mineral chelates (zinc, iron, magnesium, selenium, copper, manganese, chromium, and molybdenum). Folate is naturally occurring from vitamin B9 from an organic food blend.
Capsule Three is a phyto-caplet, meaning it's from a plant. It contains water-soluble vitamin C, calcium, potassium, choline, and a WHOLE BUNCH of fruit, veggie, and herb concentrates.
Antioxidants to fight free radicals! NingXia Red is
a macro-nutrient supplement, meaning it is the
WHOLE food that your body needs. A micro-nutrient
breaks the food apart and takes small parts out of
it to use. Our bodies thrive on whole foods and nutrients.
It is also a liquid supplement, which we absorb faster
because the body doesn’t need to break it down.
It’s easier on the gut, and the delivery system is
quicker.
Antioxidants = immune support. Antioxidants protect
our bodies from free radicals. They help our body get
free radicals out. They promote normal eye function,
normal circulation, brain function, heart function,
and immune support. In other words, we need them!
Ningxia Red is for EVERYONE. It is safe for all ages,
pregnant women, children, and pets. For kids, once
they start solids, they can start Ningxia. Start with
1/2 oz-1 oz for littles; everyone else can take 2 oz daily.

John Cannell of the Vitamin D Council has identified that vitamin D helps produce the antimicrobial peptides that protect against the flu. Vitamin D-producing sunshine is minimal or nonexistent at some latitudes in the winter, or people are too bundled up to get enough skin exposed. Scientific research suggests that vitamin D deficiency is why people get the flu. This vitamin protects us by activating T cells, an essential part of the immune system.
Vitamin D3 participates in many bodily functions, including helping the body produce antimicrobial peptides with natural antiviral activity. It also helps dampen the excessive inflammatory responses that lead to aches accompanying viral illnesses. The body only produces vitamin D with adequate sun exposure, so it is very important to take enough during winter.
Most members of the animal kingdom produce vitamin C in their bodies, but humans do not. Therefore, unless you have access to fresh tropical fruits regularly, you most likely have a deficiency of vitamin C. Like vitamin D, vitamin C contributes to many functions in the body, including a well-functioning immune system.
Vitamin A is a known treatment for measles, but that is not its only benefit. It helps our immune systems fight viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections. We don’t only need vitamin A in times of health crisis; we need it all the time. Since it is fat-soluble and can accumulate in the body, it should not be taken every day indefinitely.
Gut health and probiotics are essential to optimal wellness! Bacteria in our bodies (the microbiome) outnumber our cells 10-1.! We are made up of more bacterial cells than human cells! A Clinical Microbiology review noted that Bacteroides contain "the most antibiotic resistance mechanisms and the highest resistance rates of all anaerobic pathogens. Consequently, bacteria play a major role in bodily functions, including immunity, digestion, and protection against disease.”
A vital first step toward balancing your gut flora is eliminating sugar from your diet, especially sugars in processed foods. Eating fermented foods such as kefir, kimchi, and sauerkraut, as well as consuming prebiotic foods like garlic, leeks, and onions, can help create an optimal environment for beneficial gut bacteria while decreasing disease-causing bacteria, fungi, and yeast.
Taking a probiotic supplement is also very beneficial to balancing the good bacteria! A good quality probiotic will list the individual strains on the label. Look for one that contains Lactobacillus and Bifidus (or Bifidobacterium) strains. YL’s Life 9 is the perfect choice!
Conventional hand sanitizers are toxic and full of crazy chemicals. The "antibacterial" aspects of these sanitizers hurt our immune systems by killing the good bacteria, aka our innate immune defense. It is recommended that hand sanitizers have 60% or more alcohol.Thieves Hand Sanitizer protects against germs, supports our bodies naturally, consisting of 65% Alcohol-denat, Water, Aloe, Glycerin, Peppermint oil, and Thieves Oil.
BUT WAIT! Isn't Alcohol-denat toxic and NOT suitable for our skin? So, WHY IN THE WORLD is it in YL's plant-based hand sanitizer?Alcohol is an ethanol-based product derived from petroleum, which is toxic! Almost all other companies use a petroleum base in their products, which is not natural. However, the alcohol in Thieves Spray is denatured by treating it with Cinnamon Bark essential oil to prevent people from consuming it orally. Alcohol treated with essential oils is non-toxic. At YL, plants create natural and safe chemical solutions without concoctions of fake petroleum derivatives!
YL oils can be used to create a safe and natural solution (like alcohol denat) instead of a man-made toxic alcohol denat with fake chemical bonds that our bodies don't like.Even when formulated naturally (like YL does), per FDA, we have to list the chemical structure for what it is chemically called, natural or not.
Essential oils are adaptogens, plant-based solutions to help the body adapt to stress. Their job is to balance and create homeostasis. This makes them excellent for freshening up the air in our homes!
Be sure to use oils grown, distilled, and bottled with no chemicals, as any chemical in any part of the process interferes with the oil's therapeutic value, rendering many oils on the market non-therapeutic and simply fragrance grade. That is why it is so important to use YL oils, with their Seed to Seal promise of purity.
Thanks for reading through! When you balance your gut flora (or your microbiome), obtain adequate key nutrients to maintain and balance homeostasis in the body and create an internal environment that only promotes wellness, you will feel in complete control of your family's health this season.
