Happy June, friends!
In my May newsletter, I alluded to a gut health and healthy habits reset that I was planning to start this month. It’s June 1st today, so let’s get going!
First, why am I doing this?
I’ve been feeling, physically, not my best. I’ve been through some very stressful events in the past few months and I could tell my body was not handling it well. Extreme bloating, digestive issues, skin breakouts, weight gain, brain fog, not sleeping well, hormone imbalances, relying on fast food/processed food, and overall bleh. Something had to change.
I have been a member of Young Living since 2021 and used just about every supplement and essential oil that they offer. These products are high quality and life changing! The Ningxia Red beverage is a staple in our home. When I saw the new Make a Shift reset bundle, I knew I had to incorporate it into my own reset.
Why do we love Ningxia so much? Oh, let me count the ways. I’ve been consuming goji berries since I became interested in natural health 15+ years ago. The main ingredient in Ningxia is wolfberry puree, a variety of goji berry, with even higher antioxidant capacity. In one serving of Ningxia Red, you’ll find 30g of wolfberries, 5g of cherries, 9g of blueberries, 4g of pomegranate, 6g of plums, 5g of aronia berries, grape seed extract, yuzu, tangerine, lemon and orange essential oils, stevia, and pure vanilla extract.
In a clinical trial, participants who consumed 2 ounces of Ningxia Red per day for 60 days experienced a 23% reduction in daily stress, improved mental wellbeing, improved respiratory function, 35% increase in physical energy, 36% reduction in physical limitations, improved sleep patterns, increased time asleep, and improved inflammation response.
The 14 day reset includes drinking 12 ounce of Ningxia per day for the first 3 days, and then 6 ounces per day for the remaining days. The kit comes with the exact amount that you need, plus meal ideas and workout suggestions.
For myself personally, I’m also adding in digestive enzymes, probiotics, and digestive health CBD jellies to reset my gut health. I will take the digestive enzymes with every meal, the probiotics at night just before bed, and the jellies 1-2x per day as needed.
Enzymes are crucial to digest and absorb the nutrients from our food properly. I don’t think enough people understand how quickly enzymes can become depleted by illness, stress, processed foods, and alcohol! I personally think everyone would benefit from digestive enzyme supplementation.
Probiotics are important for balancing the bacteria in our gut and ensuring the good guys beat the bad guys. Even just 1 dose of antibiotics years ago can have lasting effects on our gut health today. Probiotics are best absorbed at night when our bodies are resting and renewing, so I take them at least 2 hours after dinner and just before bed.
Want to hop onboard the reset? Order your kit today and then let me know so I can get you plugged into our groups. You can start anytime!
