I had researched the GAPS diet and was overwhelmed by how complicated and limiting it sounded. We travel some, and we’re also a fairly “foodie” family, so GAPS sounded torturous to me! 
It also wound up being a great fit with our already-healthy lifestyle of essential oils, toxin-free living, and creative whole food eating (the foodie life!)! My precious friend and fellow-essential oil enthusiast, Tonya Chapa, also jumped on board and experienced the same great results!
If you’re sick and tired of feeling sick and tired and if you’re ready to be healed from the inside out, read my testimony HERE and see if any of this sounds familiar. Or tag a friend who you think these changes may help. And let me know if you’d like to chat about it. I’m here to help!
A little about the benefits of bone broth:
proline, and glycine into your broth. You just don’t get this from skinless, boneless chicken breasts! This is healing for so many of our body’s functions.
If you’ve ever noticed the way bone broth “gels,” that’s the collagen that has been released from the bones. It’s also a sign of a high-quality broth! Google everything collagen is good for! “Bone” Appétit!
Young Living Products to consider for gut health…
It’s so important to get the basics down! Establishing a foundation of “core supplements” is a perfect way to start the new year!
Essentialzyme™– It’s all about gut health! Essentialzyme™ is a bilayered, multienzyme complex caplet specially formulated to support and balance digestive health and to stimulate overall enzyme activity to combat the modern diet.
These enzymes contain tarragon, peppermint, anise, fennel, and clove essential oils to improve overall enzyme activity in the gut.
ImmuPro – (sleep/immunity) This essential oil-infused powerhouse supports the body’s ability to repair the immune system during sleep – 1 chewable tablet an hour before bed is a must-have for a healthy and restful sleep. The perfect amount of non-habit forming melatonin (natural source) helps fight oxidative stress. Three powerhouse mushrooms. Great to use during detox efforts.
JuvaTone® – This powerful herbal complex is designed to promote healthy liver function.* It is an excellent source of choline, a nutrient that is vital for proper liver function and necessary for those with high protein diets. JuvaTone also contains inositol and dl-methionine, which help with the body’s normal excretion functions.* Methionine also helps recycle glutathione, a natural antioxidant crucial for normal liver function.* Other ingredients include Oregon grape root, a source of the liver-supporting compound berberine, and therapeutic-grade essential oils to enhance overall effectiveness.*
NingXia Red – We all know what this immune system-loving energizing drink does for your body! Plan to take a shot 2-3 times per day!*
NingXia Wolfberries – Make into a tea, add to smoothies and salads, or eat whole! If you were smart enough to save a stash before they went out of stock, lock your doors and enjoy!
Sulfurzyme – Sulfurzyme® combines wolfberry with MSM, a naturally occurring organic form of dietary sulfur needed by our bodies every day to maintain the structure of proteins, protect cells and cell membranes, replenish the connections between cells, and preserve the molecular framework of connective tissue.* MSM also supports the immune system, the liver, circulation, and proper intestinal function and works to scavenge free radicals.* Wolfberries contain minerals and coenzymes that support the assimilation and metabolism of sulfur.
Mineral Essence – is a balanced, full-spectrum ionic mineral complex enhanced with essential oils. According to two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling PhD. “You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.” Ionic minerals are the most fully and quickly absorbed form of minerals available.
Olive Essentials – Hydroxytyrosol, a polyphenol found in olive oil, is one of the most powerful antioxidants found in nature! It’s one of the key healthy-promoting compounds of the Mediterranean diet, making it a darling of the Keto crowd.
Last year, after finding a proprietary process that extracts hydroxytyrosol from olives using water, Young Living released a supplement called Olive Essentials! Each capsule of Olive Essentials contains 20 mg of hydroxytyrosol—that’s as much as an entire liter of olive oil!
Take 1 capsule every day to support your body during your weight loss efforts, as well as to support a healthy heart and immune system!
Olive Essentials also includes a blend of essential oils with antioxidant properties, including Parsley and Rosemary oil!
Comfortone – This powerhouse is the second supplement Gary Young formulated for Young Living and it’s a must for your gut-
healing efforts! When starting a keto-style diet, some people experience a little irregularity at first. Comfortone helps to move things along nicely! (Not usually recommended during pregnancy, though some people disagree and have used it with no problem).
Sleep Essence – A good night’s sleep is essential, so if you need a little extra help, make sure you have this gem on hand!
I also recommend:
- Life 9 (Young Living or Carlson Labs)
- ICP (Young Living)
- Detoxzyme (Young Living)
- Vitamin D (Ortho Molecular)
Note: Stevia does not raise blood sugars levels. It’s a completely natural sweetener extracted from the leaves of the plant species Stevia rebaudiana. Because of this, and because of the important nutritional benefits of NingXia Red, Stevia is allowed unless you are trying to “break” your craving for sweetness.
