The Endocrine System & Thyroid Disfunction + Protocol!
Men, Women, and children all need healthy and strong endocrine systems, and there are major blockers out there that can cause dysfunction. Endocrine disruptors are more commonly talked about now, and many are becoming banned like BPA and PEG, but what you probably didn't know is that endocrine disruptors are everywhere and we have to guard our bodies from these. Fragrances, synthetics and chemicals that are additives can all disrupt our endocrine system, especially our thyroid. 
Endocrine Disruptors Causing Thyroid Disease
The thyroid is the most susceptible endocrine organ because it readily relies on Iodine, which can so easily be displaced from our thyroid gland by commonly found additives such as chlorine, fluoride, and bromide. These toxic values aren't tested with blood work, and often even if symptoms of thyroid disease (hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism) occurs, lab results may even look "normal", which makes people very frustrated!
Sadly, when the thyroid doesn't have enough support with iodine, it can develop nodules. Nodules are small sacs that contain fluid. Most cases these have nothing to worry about, and most times, they are so small, they do not even get biopsied. Very rarely does this lead to thyroid cancer (which looks different on an ultrasound, which is why they can distinguish nodules from masses). Those suffering from Thyroid Nodules can find themselves feeling symptoms of thyroid disease, and it is very specific to the person. One size fits all is hard to find, when you try medication. But, relief with simple, natural means, as well as examining their lifestyle can really create a space for symptom reduction, nodule shrinkage, and overall a feeling of health reestablished.
As a health coach, I use thyroid symptoms as a "sign" for my clients to pay attention to things in their life that could be causing endocrine disruption. Many of my clients come to me because their thyroid isn't working correctly, they have symptoms, yet their doctor doesn't want to prescribe meds, offer suggestions, or even guide them on the reasons why. I myself have suffered from thyroid disease since I was about 17 years old, and for 7 years I was on medication, which caused me to have issues with my memory, muscles, and overall stamina, so I stopped using synthetic materials and began to change my lifestyle, as well as adding in essential oils, supplements, and living foods for thyroid health.
Thyroid Support Protocol:
Essential Oil Application to the Throat
- 1-2 Drops of Myrrh
- 1-2 Drop of Frankincense
- After applying these oils, Vitaflex over the area gently with 3-4 fingers. How to Vitaflex Video is here.
- Repeat this every 3-4 times per day, adding in extra applications if emotionally or mentally taxing situations arise.
For those suffering with Thyroid symptoms, supplemenation with natural thyroid supplement can prove to be a rapid relief. I highly recommend muscle testing for the full dosage, which I can teach you on a consultation call, or you can watch the video here.
All oils and supplements can be found here.

Emotional Roots of Thyroid Disease??
Many suffer from physical thyroid disfunction because of suppressed emotional pain and trauma. As a trauma informed wellness coach, I have developed a deeper protocol for clients who wish to uncover emotional roots to their thyroid dis-ease.
For those who suffer from emotional roots, they may cling to ideas that they are not worthy of being loved, they aren't lovable, or they have no one to listen to them. They often feel unsupported, unheard, and ultimately, it shuts off life force energy to the throat. Many people who deal with childhood trauma relating to children of alcoholics, parents who weren't emotional available, and those who had to perform to receive any kind of attention. We only feel worthy when we are performing and acting, therefore getting attention and feeling needed.
Emotional Root for Thyroid Disease: A Conflict Between the Conscious and Subconscious
For those who identify with this, I recommend starting an emotional protocol along with a physical protocol. This includes different oils that pertain to the emotional frequency of the stored emotion. This can be done as a consultation online or over messenger.

I wanted to share some amazing info on Clove OIL!! Check it out 
Clove isn't just a yummy flavor you smell during the holidays, but this powerful dried bud from the plant, Syzygium aromaticum, has many useful applications for our health and wellbeing!
Clove is not only spicy and invigorating, but it helps with infection, due to its key component, Eugenol!
When needing pain relief, clove has been shown to reduce nerve pain in dentistry, and pain on contact when needing relief in joints, muscles, and for injury.
Adding in Clove oil to any massage can create a warming sensation and leave the receiver pain free in joints and muscles for hours! Imagine those who have chronic arthritis, fibromyalgia, or even pain from weakened/deteriorating joints!
Clove oil is great on it’s own, and can be diffused easily in any room.
You can apply it on location to any pain point.
You can also ingest it in safe amounts in honey, a vegetable capsule, or even in tea or baked goods!
You can also ingest it in safe amounts in honey, a vegetable capsule, or even in tea or baked goods!
The scent also blends very nicely with cinnamon and other herbaceous plants to create a blend that is highly antimicrobial and powerful against germs!
Want to look around and check out the options for clove oil?
Many people in the fall think that their bodies are dealing with the allergies of the plants that are blossoming in this fall season, and with it comes runny nose, watery eyes, fatigue, need for more sleep, and inability to focus.
But, these are all very similar to the signs and symptoms of adrenal fatigue--aka--too much constant stress and not enough self care!! Self care is vital to slowing down and letting those adrenals rest.
Other symptoms include:
- tiredness,
- brain fog all day, no matter what
- trouble falling asleep at night or waking up in the morning,
- salt and sugar craving
- needing stimulants like caffeine to get through the day
- mid back pain on either side
- extreme exhaustion after stress, workout, or work
When your body is shifting into a new season, there is always a bit of lag time, so I wanted to share some ideas to help you.
1. Drink your water and don't forget your fresh foods
2. Make sleep a priority
3. Write down your stressors so they aren't on your mind!
4. Take adrenal supportive supplements (link below)
If you are truly struggling, I can support you in your seasonal shift. Letting adrenal fatigue take over your fall and lead into winter can create a mess of issues relating to your immune system, which needs to be top notch right now! Let's get you balanced!

Germs = biggest invaders in the world!
You either don't worry too much, or you're a germ-a-phobe (the actual term is Mysophobic).
After the past two years, the human race has let their fear of germs take over their habits, customs, and routines. How many of you feel concerned with touching surfaces, shaking hands, or even hugging others?
I'd say our current world is no longer living the "5 second rule", unless you're one of those crunchy people (IYKYK :P )
Need some solid info to help you fight some germs this fall? Here are my top 5 plants and what they can do for you. Here is a link on how to make your DIY Hand Sanitizer!

Hey Friends:
Two things are happening as we speak: the sunshine is less and the temps are trending down!
- Less Sunshine (harder to have a strong immune system)
- Less Movement (harder to rid the body of toxins that are generated)
- Less Fruits and Veggies and Water (harder to have proper cellular function!)
As you begin to change up your routines for school, work, and the upcoming holidays, don't forget:
Here are my three tips for the week:
1. Focus on water!! Add your minerals to your water, add oils like lemon or peppermint, and make sure you're getting in about 1/2 your weight in ounces (160# + 80 oz give or take--reach out if you have questions on this).
2. Move your body! Even if it's only for 5 minutes a few times a day, this movement will create a shift in your lymph tissue and will help you remove things you don't need (aka any little invaders that cause you problems!)
3. Eat the Rainbow!! Make sure you still try to get those fruits and veggies in.
What if you're already feeling the cruddy junk that comes with back to school and season change? Here is my favorite lymph drainage protocol with 1 oil:
"Thank you so much for the Raindrop and for the conversation last night. You have no idea how much i needed that. Being around you always makes me feel lighter. Also, that weird smell issue i was having is a litter different today! I am hoping the Raindrop did something to kick it out!!"
Here is my FAVORITE fall flavor blend!
Pumpkin Spice Blend
5 drops clove
5 drops nutmeg
5 drops cinnamon bark
There are many ways to use this blend!
-Diffuser bomb
-room spray
-epsom bath
-lip balm
-vitality flavor for drinks, baked goods, and even ice cream!
Fall is coming!
The beauty in nature is coming out as goldens and oranges and deep reds and those colors all represent the security we crave in this time!
I made an amazing recipe for Turmeric Pumpkin Spice Cider!
Here is the recipe!
Turmeric Pumpkin Spice Cider
Bring 16oz of water to boil.
Use 2 bags of Turmeric Tea and brew.

I have something for you.
