Ultra Salt Electrolyte Complex
Your body needs electrolytes to maintain your hydration level, not sugar and food coloring. When you sweat, you lose not only water, but salt and other minerals your body needs to function well. That’s why water alone is not enough for sustained exercise resulting in significant perspiration. The main component of sweat is salt, but not all salt is created equal. The same is true for other mineral supplements, each of which comes in many forms. Pure Vitamin Club’s Ultra Salt Electrolyte Complex is designed to provide the optimal forms of the six main electrolytes (Sodium, Chloride, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, and Manganese), in the best balance for maintaining adequate hydration and peak athletic performance. Pure Vitamin Club’s Ultra Salt Electrolyte Complex features Redmond Real Salt®, the only natural, unrefined, unprocessed, unbleached, ancient pink sea salt mined in the USA. Pure Vitamin Club’s Ultra Salt Electrolyte Complex comes in bottles of 90 capsules, each containing 223 mg of Sodium, 352 mg of Chloride, 80 mg of Potassium, 50 mg of Calcium, 30 mg of Magnesium, and 500 mcg of Manganese, as well as over 60 trace minerals. There are absolutely no fillers, flow agents, colorants, or any other kind of added ingredient at all – just the best Electrolyte formulation available anywhere.

Optimizing your immune system naturally
Keeping you and your family healthy this time of year can seem like a daunting task. We are exposed to many environmental threats and it doesn’t help that the media propels fear based information and if we are not careful it can easily creep into our mindsets. Remember getting sick is a natural response to viruses and bacteria in the body. The more that we get a cold or virus and get over it with natural support, the stronger our immune systems can be in the long run. Check this article out on our family wellness routine and the easy ways you can protect yourself. How to optimize your immune system naturally so that it is protected from anything the season throws at you Here are a few of our favorite wellness routines, including the one we use with our children and ourselves daily. CONSISTENCY IS KEY! 1. Eliminate Sugar/ Eat Healthy Food/Stay hydrated: Try to stay away from processed sugar during the winter season. It’s definitely not easy, but sugar depletes your immune system because viruses and bacteria (not to mention cancer cells) actually live off of sugar. Eliminating sugar will help starve them. This is the foundation of health! Eat real food – organic meat and veggies, drink bone broth and plenty of clean water. Adding doTERRA citrus oils to your water is an easy way to boost your immune system as well as staying hydrated! 2. Take Buffered Vitamin C & Vitamin D3 daily: A daily dose of this does the body good and I am not talking about a daily glass of orange juice (sugar)! Plus most of the Vitamin C that is found on the market are chewables and gummies that are full of sugar. My girls and I take this highly absorbable form every day from Nutritional Frontiers. I recommend 1 to 3 grams a day. Vitamin D3 has been studied extensively and been proven to be extremely helpful in boosting your immune system during this time of the year when natural sun exposure is not consistent. I recommend at least 5000IU daily. My favorite is Super K+ from Nutritional frontiers that also has K2 and Vitamin A included which increases the absorbability of the Vitamin D3. 3. Use Essential Oils : Research has proven that doTERRA essential oils can help keep those environmental threats at bay. Top Immune Boosting Oils: OnGuard Protective Blend- Extremely effective at slowing down and killing many types of environmental threats. The oils below are all found in doTerra OnGuard blend. Cinnamon Bark Clove Rosemary Eucalyptus Tea Tree Wild Orange I recommend 2-4 drops daily either taken internally or applied topically on your feet. For more convenience, take our OnGuard Plus gel capsules 1-2x’s daily. Diffuse: Keeping the air in your home free of bacteria and viruses is paramount to your health. Diffuse your favorite oils (especially OnGuard) daily to purify and cleanse the air as well as boost your immune system. 4. Run a Whole House Humidifier: Research also shows running a humidifier in your home is great at helping prevent you from getting sick because higher humidity levels have been proven to kill off viruses. It’s also beneficial for maintaining healthy and moisturized skin in the nasal passages, throat, lips and prevents dry, cracked hands. 5. Take High Quality Multi-Vitamins and Fish Oils Daily: Please don’t flush your money down the drain with low quality, non-absorbable and synthetic brand vitamins! I highly recommend dōTERRA’s Life Long Vitality vitamins. If you haven’t started taking them yet, look into them. They are the best vitamins that you can find on the market while getting the most bang for your buck. They are whole food, plant based, packed with vitamins, minerals and nutrients that your body NEEDS on a daily basis to thrive and keep your immune system boosted. They are doTERRA’s #1 best selling product for a reason and you will thank me once you start taking them and notice the difference. You’ll have more energy, a decrease in aches and pains, more mental clarity and much more. There is also a great children’s chewable vitamin by dōTERRA! 6. Take a High Quality Probiotic: Did you know that your gut contains 80% of your immune system and is your first line of defense when you come in contact with a virus? It is important to have good bacteria inside of your gut. Most people don’t realize that you CAN’T get this solely from your Yoplait Yogurt that has 36g of added sugar in it!!!!dōTERRA offers a great adult as well as children’s probiotic (that tastes like strawberry-watermelon!) that we take daily. 7. Take Immunomax from Nutritional Frontiers : 1-2 capsules daily of this immune boosting blend helps increase the number of immune cells that your body will need if it comes under attack from environmental threats. It contains maitake mushroom along with olive leaf extract which are powerful immune boosting herbs. 8. Clean and Detox: • Wash your hands often and with either OnGuard hand soap or make your own OnGuard hand sanitizing spray. Please STOP using triclosan and chemical filled, antibacterial hand soaps and sanitizers (ex: soft soap, bath & body works, ect.) that kills all those good germs that your body needs. These chemical filled soaps/sanitizers also can really dry out your skin. • Take our OnGuard hand sanitizer spray out with you wherever you go! It’s a lifesaver. • Clean your home (don’t forget the doorknobs) with our OnGuard Cleaner Concentrate to kill off any bad germs brought in from school or work. Ditch the toxic alternatives! • Tell your child to not drink out of water fountains. Send them to school with a stainless steel water bottle. 9. Get Enough Sleep: One of the most important that most people don’t realize is getting enough sleep. Sleep is the best thing that you can do for your body in order for your
Eating well during the holidays
Halloween has come and gone, and the holiday season is right around the corner. If you are like me and have children, you have a mountain of sugary tricks and treats staring you right in the face every day. Not only that, but Thanksgiving is right around the corner along with the holiday party season that just seems to have every sugary treat known to man. It might seem impossible to maintain a healthy eating style during this time of year, but it can be done. So what should you do with all the left over trick-or-treat candy? I suggest limiting yourself and your children to a few pieces a day for no more than a week and then getting it out of your house. Donate it, put it away to make gingerbread houses closer to Christmas, or just toss it out. The longer it is staring you in face, the more likely you and your children will eat too much. The rest of the holiday season can be tricky, especially if you participate in a lot of family and friend get together’s. I suggest trying to eat as well as you can in between holiday celebrations, especially on the day of. If you know that you are going to be at party in the evening, try and have a really healthy breakfast or lunch in preparation for falling off the wagon a little in the evening. I also recommend if it is a party where you are to bring food with you, arrive with something festive but also healthy, such as a meat and cheese tray, so you know you will have something good to eat. I love the holidays. The decorations, the change of weather, the get together’s, and just how it makes everyone feel. I love feeling good and eating healthy but also indulging a little over the holidays. Maintaining a healthy eating style in between holiday celebrations will help keep yourself from carrying bad eating habits into the new year. As Vinnie Tortorich says, “It doesn’t matter what you eat between Christmas and New Years, it matters what you eat between New Years and Christmas.” Happy Holidays!

Reversing Chronic Disease Naturally
Lifestyle based medicine offers a whole new way to understand and look at chronic diseases including diabetes, depression, heart disease, hypertension, autoimmune diseases,(remove autism), allergies, anxiety and more. Chronic disease can be an outcome of imbalances in the key underlying physiological systems in your body. When inflammation, blood sugar imbalance, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, hormonal problems, and digestive distress occur for extended periods of time, the body spirals out of balance. This in conjunction with the poor Standard American Diet, lack of exercise, failure to prioritize sleep, mental/emotional stress, environmental toxins, and other lifestyle issues that create an environment inside the body for chronic disease to develop. Restore Function Instead of Managing Symptoms. Conventional medicine focuses on managing symptoms mainly through pharmaceutical intervention, many of which can cause unwanted side effects. By ignoring the environment inside your body that created the condition in the first place, your health will continue to decline and may require higher doses, stronger medication, or more invasive treatments to help (remove you only) manage your symptoms. Lifestyle based Medicine helps us build health by changing the internal environment that created the symptoms in the first place. By improving your diet, (doing the right types of) exercising, prioritizing and maximizing sleep, managing stress appropriately, and reducing environmental toxicity, you can unleash your body’s innate ability to heal it self. Lifestyle based Medicine does not treat the individual diseases; it allows us to deal with underlying health dysfunctions in the individual patient. We do not prescribe or alter medications; we restore health. Our program works in conjunction with the patients prescribing doctor who will decide when and if the patient can reduce or eliminate any medication.
