Spring Cleanse!

I have never been a cleanse person. I eat really pretty healthy for the most part and mostly just dreaded giving up caffeine and alcohol so never did it. ;-)  But this past January I decided to bite the bullet. After the holidays I just felt READY, and I was really wanting to establish some habits, especially around taking supplements and drinking more water, that would stay with me. Guess what? It was not so bad! And I felt not only healthier but kind of empowered that I could make those changes. Woot! 

The doTERRA Cleanse & Restore Program makes it easy to give yourself a little reset. And though the cleanse can be done anytime, in January, April/May & October it's even easier thanks to the Facebook support group that my team (including a holistic nutritionist and an acupuncturist who are both yoga instructors as well) runs during those months so you have a community going through it with you. This cleanse program is unique in that you will not be asked to juice, diet, or deprive yourself of much. The foundation of it is to add in powerful, life-sustaining foods, whole-food supplements, and herbs and essential oils to help the body remove toxins, reset and restore. 

In addition, there are three levels of commitment you can choose from that you feel will work best for you:

Level 1: Easy does it. You will commit to taking the Cleanse and Restore supplements daily, drink plenty of (lemon) water and eat a whole food, mostly plant-based diet. You’ll focus on three wellness goals for 2018 that you can share with me and get some support around. Simple. Everyone can do this!

Level 2: This is Level 1 plus you'll cut out refined sugar, gluten, and dairy. You’ll aim to move your body every day, and crystalize your commitment to your wellness goals and your health so that they become a part of your life.

Level 3: You’ll do everything in the first two levels plus cut out or reduce caffeine and alcohol. These can be challenging but very powerful shifts for people, and you will have the support you need to make this a reality. NB-I did this level and was definitely in the “reduce” caffeine and alcohol camp, but it was enough to really feel a difference (and not die).

WHY SUPPLEMENT?

Here are ten reasons supplementing your diet with high-quality nutrients is important:

1. Current commercial agriculture techniques leave soil deficient in important minerals, causing the food grown in this soil to share the same mineral deficiencies. 2. Many foods are shipped long distances and are stored for long periods of time, both of which cause the depletion of vitamins in these foods, including the important B-complex and C vitamins. 3. Food processing, cooking, and preserving leads to nutrient depletion in our food supply that makes it difficult to obtain adequate nutrition from foods alone. 4. Many fruits and vegetables are genetically bred to improve visual appeal and crop yields, not nutritional value, which frequently results in lesser nutritional values than our ancestors’ food supply. 5. Erratic eating habits, insufficient chewing of food, eating on the run, and stress contribute to poor digestion, making it difficult for our bodies to extract all the nutrients it needs from food. 6. Pharmaceutical drug use has escalated over time. Most medications deplete essential nutrients, making people more vulnerable to deficiencies. 7. Specific times in life and health conditions may result in higher needs of certain nutrients. For example, folic acid needs tend to be higher during pregnancy, while menopausal women may be vulnerable to calcium deficiencies. 8. Increasing levels of environmental toxins in our air, water, food and personal care products may cause our bodies to use more nutrients than normal to detoxify and eliminate harmful substances. This is especially true of the antioxidant vitamins, such as Vitamins A, C, and E. 9. We all have genetic weaknesses, including higher needs of some nutrients, higher rates of depletion for certain nutrients, and an increased likelihood of genetic expression of some illnesses if vitamin or mineral deficiencies are present. 10. Many nutrients have been proven to prevent or aid in the treatment of health conditions like high cholesterol, arthritis, birth defects, and cancer.

Cleanse & Restore Program Outline

The Spring cleanse begins on Monday, April 23rd and you’ll need the Cleanse & Restore Kit from dōTERRA to get started. You probably know dōTERRA primarily as an essential oil company, but they put just as much research and care into their supplements. If you are new to dōTERRA, purchasing the Cleanse and Restore kit will automatically enroll you as a new member so you will receive wholesale pricing on all dōTERRA products for a year. Additional products can be added to your enrollment order to address your specific wellness needs, so please email me for more info if you’d like. Some of my favorites are ClaryCalm, Bergamot, Serenity, Peppermint, PastTense and OnGuard.

Products in the kit:

Don’t worry--there will be plenty of information on exactly how and when to take all these!

Lifelong Vitality Pack: This trio of supplements includes the following: -Daily Nutrients: food-sourced with some essential oils added to help your body to absorb the nutrients (because essential oils penetrate your cellular membrane they deliver nutrients right where they are needed!) These are important for gut health, immune support and to address deficiencies. -Omega: we get a lot of omega 6 from foods but it is critical to balance it with omega 3 and 9's. Also has essential oils to help digestion. -Alpha CRS: a cellular support with essential oils - makes sure your cells are getting the right amount of antioxidants and are healthy.

Terrazyme: Digestive Enzyme to help promote assimilation of nutrients and aid digestion.

Zendocrine Complex: Whole food plant/herbal extract to help promote detoxification.

Zendocrine Softgels: Essential oil blend to help cleansing organs work effectively.

GX Assist: Essential oil blend to detoxify the gut and promote a healthy gut biome.

PB Assist: pre-biotic fiber and six strains of probiotic microorganisms in a unique double-layer vegetable capsule.

DDR Prime: Support cellular function and free-radical damage.

Lemon Essential Oil: Naturally cleanses the body and aids in digestion.

The price for the kit is $245, $123 less than buying the supplements individually at wholesale and over 50% off retail! Plus, dōTERRA waives the enrollment fee and you'll be able to continue to buy essential oils and supplements (and other dōTERRA products such as home cleaning) for wholesale for the entire year. 

Hit me up with questions! Or check it out here, and if you choose to purchase, you’ll be enrolling as a Wholesale Customer. If my info isn’t automatically in the advocate box, my number is 4181502 or you can look me up by name. See below for step-by-step instructions if you’re confused! I hope you’ll join me! 

THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD MAKE IT SUPER CLEAR, BUT OF COURSE IF YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE, PLEASE EMAIL ME! 

1. Click the SIGN UP button below (you may want to open this in a new window so you can refer back to these instructions).

2. Select your country. 3. Choose “Wholesale Customer." 4. Enter contact and shipping details, etc. 5. Just leave the "enroller" and "sponsor" ID numbers as they are and create a password so you can access your account, see what's new, and order whatever you want, whenever you want—always at 25% off retail! 6. Agree to the basic Terms and Conditions and Site Usage Policies and click Continue. 7.  Select The Cleanse & Restore Kit from the carousel! **Remember, since this is an enrollment kit, the $35 membership fee is waived, and you still get to order wholesale for the entire year! NOTE: Enter any additional items you'd like in those fields, too! To support you while you cleanse I strongly suggest you have a few extra oils on hand, like Clary Calm, Past tense, Peppermint, Balance, Breathe, Serenity and/or Lavender. I also think that coconut oil and a diffuser are absolute MUSTS if you are using essential oils. 8. Process Your Payment and your kit and any oils you chose will be on their way! Send me a note telling me you enrolled so we can schedule a brief consultation and I can add you to our online community for ongoing support.

9.  OPTIONAL: Set up your amazing Loyalty Rewards right now. This program will save you LOADS of money by letting you earn up to 30% of your order in free product credits every month! When you become an oil maven like me, you’ll definitely love this!! If you're not up for it just yet, no big deal. You can always do it later if you choose. That’s it! If we’re not already friends on Facebook I will send you a link to join our group which should be starting about a week before the cleanse.

If you are ever curious about what I do at @beautycounter and why I do it (hint: I'm not in the marketing department and I'm truly passionate about my work unlike much of my career), listen to this interview with my friend @greggrenfrew , our founder and CEO, on the "No Limits With Rebecca Jarvis" podcast. I'm looking for others to join me on this mission, with a company that is blazing a trail in both sustainability and innovation. "You should be able to build businesses that are highly profitable, create tons of jobs for people, but are simultaneously moving markets and doing things that are good for the world.” Yep, I think so too. #beautyonamission #joinus #takethejob http://ift.tt/2rrQhp2
