Monthly Teleconference Calls

Practical tips that I learned to manage my low blood sugar: Don't eat fruit, or anything sweet for that matter, on an empty stomach. If you eat anything sweet, make sure you combine it with protein or fiber to slow blood sugar absorption (I like Essential 7 for this). Manage stress levels (I like essential oils for this, like Idaho Balsam Fir, Tranquil or Ruta Vala or Peace and Calming combined with Lavender) if you don't have one of these oils you can get yours at www.EOLady.com

Here we talk about how essential oils play a huge part in aging gracefully. I share with you how I think essential oils and basic healthy living can keep us young!

Gracefully aging is not hard as you may think. When our body has what it needs we experience vibrant energy, positive outlook, restful sleep and freedom from pain. When our body is deficient in core building blocks of health we experience dis-ease.

As an aside, did you know that your house plants generally come with bugs, but depending on the health (or immune system) of the plant the bugs stay under control or it destroys the plant. Our body has a similiar, natural break down process. The key is to not permit our body to break down until WE are done with it, e.g. at the end of our life :).

Degenerative disease and aging do NOT have to go together.

We can age gracefully with essential oils....join me to learn how.

Listen to learn how to “Age Gracefully with Essential Oils" by Building your 3 Pillars of Health.

• Step 1 Clean water, Good Food and Exercise
• Step 2 Detoxify and Cleanse the Body
• Step 3 The Importance of Being True to Yourself e.g. Manage Stress Levels

I used to take good digestion for granted that is, until it went way. In 2004 my body went through a shock of stress and toxic exposure. Not a good combination for normal digestion and elimination. I learned a great deal about how to get digestion back on track and would love to share it with you. I learned in peparing for this talk that America’s concern with digestive problems is reaching epidemic proportions, as evidenced by the wealth of over-the-counter and prescription remedies advertised on radio, television, and in print advertising. In fact, there are over 25 million people in this country who suffer from daily stomach discomfort. Over 100 million Americans suffer from some form of digestive disease. In fact, more Americans are hospitalized due to diseases of the digestive tract and colon than for any other group of disorders. The general consensus among health professionals is that most, if not all, major diseases start in the colon. Many digestive complaints and symptoms appear even in apparently healthy people, like me. They frequently go undiagnosed because these complaints are not considered “serious”. Symptoms such as

• Gas
• Bloating
• Diarrhea
• Constipation
• Belching
• Flatulence
• Food sensitivities
• Indigestion
• Malabsorption
• Irritable bowel syndrome, and the list goes on....

And in fact, these symptoms are so common that they are seen as normal. Consider that a sluggish bowel can retain pounds of old toxic fecal matter. This leads to a vicious cycle of autointoxication that taxes our defense systems and eventually leads to more serious disease. Oour essential oil natural education phone seminar was on “3 Steps to Better Digestive Health”

Step 1 Easy way to improve digestion by clearing out old acculumations

Step 2 Improve your Digestion and Assilimiation

Step 3 Restore your Friendly Flora to Boost your Immune System

Last week I went to my dentist to get a tooth filled. I had put it off for 2 years and decided I had better get it seen to. The dentist insisted I get x-rays and full exam before doing the filling and in hindsight I respect his thoroughness.

I could feel his tool poking around my mouth and checking this and that tooth and heard him say as he measured the whiteness of my teeth “wow, your teeth are as white as 20 year old, your gums are healthy and your teeth are excellent”. He then turned to his assistant and said in a puzzled voice, “which tooth are we filling today.” She tells him which tooth. He then prodded and poked the tooth where she said the cavity was. He starts mumbling “hmmm, I don’t see anything and I don’t feel anything , there is no softness which would say there is decay”.

I was listening to this conversation quite fascinated and decided to speak up, “Is that possible for a tooth to repair itself?” He replies “yes, at times the enamel can repair itself”.

I was dumbfounded. Did you know that was possible? I had never heard that was possible.

Anyway, I was excited to not have to have a filling and jumped out the chair when he said “we’re all done, your teeth look great.”

So why the story you might ask? This month’s Sweet Smell of Health call will focus on natural dental care and how to keep a healthy, bright smile.

For as long as I could remember I would get snappy, my energy would plummet, and couldn't focus on what someone was saying, if I didn't eat every 2 hours . It wasn't until my adult years that I figured out that I had low blood sugar.

Picture this, me with my purse and pockets filled with food, like a chipmunk, just in case my blood sugar dropped. That was until a few years ago I figured out a few things that negatively effected my blood sugar.

Practical tips that I learned to manage my low blood sugar:

• Don't eat fruit, or anything sweet for that matter, on an empty stomach.
• If you eat anything sweet, make sure you combine it with protein or fiber to slow blood sugar absorption (I like Essential 7 for this).
• Manage stress levels (I like essential oils for this, like Idaho Balsam Fir, Tranquil or Ruta Vala or Peace and Calming combined with Lavender) if you don't have one of these oils you can get yours at www.EOLady.com

More on balancing blood sugar...

Here is what my bookkeeper. Natalie Ibarra told me the results you got from someone I suggested to her to help with her hypoglycemia.

"I am hypoglycemic and don't like to eat in the morning, which is a bad combination. Because I didn't eat I would crash and get the shakes until I started what Monique recommended. It is just what I need, I get all my nutrients because it is a whole food and nutrient balanced also it has no fat, no sugar and the best part it is has protein and fiber. It is so fast and affordable".

I have been noticing people are under increasing stress, as if we all didn't have enough stress :). Stress is being ramped up beyond belief and we all need help. Essential oils can help. Did you know that certain essential oils have been studied to reduce cortisol levels naturally?

If so I invite you listen to this call. We talked about the underlying causes of chronic illness and how to use our mind and the oils to overcome and get back on track. We had two guests on our Sweet Smell of Health call this month.

People hae regularly said to me, "I never had allergies as a child, but now I have them?" Is that your story? Why do YOU think that is that the case? I know we believe that allergies are primarily associated with being a child and something we outgrow, but that is not what I am seeing in my health coaching practice. It clearly is the case that ALLERGIES are on the increase and I endeavor to get to the bottom of why that is and what I can do to support you in "outgrowing" allergies.

Our topic this month is something that Licensed Acupuncturist Maria Antonopoulosis passionate about.

She has learned from working with her patients that their health is influenced not only by what they eat, but also by the choices they make around the toothpaste, deodorant, lotions etc they use on a daily basis. There is no automatic reject feature built into your skin, which means that what you apply to your skin goes directly into your blood stream. Let me illustrate this with an example. Have you ever eaten something that is a bit off and you quickly threw up the unfortunate food? This survival mechanism, built into our digestive track which protects us from illness. The scary thing is that there is no such protective feedback loop when you apply chemicals to your skin. What you apply to your skin, you absorb into your blood stream and if it is toxic in any way, your liver can become effected resulting is allergies, immune system issues, sleep disturbances, digestive complaints and much more.

Super-flu" and "smart bugs" have been able to learn the simple chemical structure of most antibiotics, which explains why scientists keep inventing new ones.

Research has shown that Therapeutic Essential Oils have such a complex chemical structure of over 300 chemical components that no known bacteria, virus or fungus has been able to mutate against Therapeutic Essential Oils. The Golden Touch 1 kit is by far the most versatile and effective against winter bugs and also helps with clearing allergies.
