Staying healthy as we age can get a little complicated. As our metabolism slows, what worked previously may not work as well.

I want to give you several options today that have been huge in helping me get back to a weight that allowed me to fit in the clothes I already had in my closet…because that was getting harder to do as I approach 50 years old.

First of all I want to encourage you to look into a way of eating I discovered this last year called “carb cycling”. I knew I would never stick to any sort of way of eating that completely cut food groups out of my diet. I don't want gimmicks either. Eating more vegetables, lowering sugar intake, & getting more water are absolutely going to always be part of healthy eating, so that's a given.

Carb cycling involves eating the same amount of calories each day, but changing your amount of carbs so that you vary between low, medium, & high carb days. This helps to reset your metabolism. Basically, you don't cut things from your diet. You just eat them on days that fit in either your low, medium, or high carb days.

I don't have a code or anything for you, & I get absolutely nothing for sharing this with you, but this has worked so well for me & I want you to know about it. I lost 20 pounds in the last 7 months & am back to what I weighed in high school. If you have more weight to lose, your results may be even quicker than mine. I used a program online called Vshred. There's no subscription involved. I basically paid around $50 to get the workout videos (they're all online so you can do them anywhere - no equipment involved). I love that they only take about 25 minutes, 4 days a week. It's fast & anyone can do them. It's something you can keep doing the rest of your life. There's a quiz to help you know which workout plan will fit your weight loss goals best. Then you can also choose to have a one-month meal plan done for you by people with Masters degrees in health sciences…actual experts in the field…tailored to the foods you like to eat. They'll customize it. That was about another $50. After that I knew what I was shooting for & could do my own meals within those parameters.

Once you're through their meal plans & want to change up the meals, it's nice to know nutrition info for different meals. Personally I loved using the cookbooks from Lillie Eats and Tells & also Clean Simple Eats. They're not associated with Vshred. I just really like their cookbooks & could pick meals that fit the parameters Vshred told me I needed for my low, medium, & high carb days. They're also fast to prepare with easy to find fresh ingredients. Again, no subscription involved. They both have blogs & Instagram accounts where you can try out some of their recipes before deciding if you want their cookbooks.

The next piece that helped me was the MetaPWR line from doTERRA. The rest of this email will focus on that piece of the puzzle. It helped me break through plateaus in my weight loss, & also helped me with better sleep, better skin, & any joint pain as I was exercising & recovering from soreness from my workouts.

You guys. This is not gimmicky or quick. It's a healthy way of getting results you can hold onto & keep the rest of your life. That's what I love. If you have questions about any of this feel free to reach out through email & I'll do my best to point you in the right direction.

My Top Essentials to
BOOST METABOLISM

MetaPWR Metabolic Assist:

You guys…this actually SLOWS the conversion of carbohydrates to glucose (blood sugar), so instead of a giant spike & drop in levels, you’ll experience more narrow changes or an optimal curve.

You can confirm this yourself by wearing a continuous blood glucose monitor throughout the day. Many new users are doing this & seeing the incredible difference in lack of blood sugar spikes throughout the day. Experience it for yourself 

Just take 1-2 capsules with your largest meal of each day. If you want to speed up results you could also take a capsule with each meal. Each capsule contains the MetaPWR blend, active competent Mulberry leaf extract, & Cinnamon Bark powder. MetaPWR Assist has been shown to release glucose more slowly & lead to lower blood glucose levels after a meal. This changes the game. MetaPWR Assist:

• May decrease post meal glucose spikes

• Reduces absorption of simple carbohydrates

• Supports healthy blood sugar responses

• Stabilizes energy levels throughout the day

MetaPWR Advantage Collagen + NMN:

MetaPWR Advantage Collagen + NMN has been clinically developed to strengthen metabolic health by addressing healthy aging with NAD+, NADH, & collagen.

The first changes I noticed while taking this myself were in my skin, energy, & ability to focus. I noticed the energy pretty quickly. The skin changes were more noticeable after about 1 month. I'm loving what I see (& don't see)! My skin tone is evening out & my face just looks healthier. Lines are less noticeable & sagging is reduced. I love this product you guys!

Aging markers begin to show up in your 20s. By the time you reach 50 years old, your NAD+ levels (a coenzyme found in every cell in your body that’s involved in hundreds of metabolic processes) steadily drop, therefore declining your metabolic function.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body. We can lose collagen in our bodies due to UV light, tobacco use, aging, & sugar intake.

MetaPWR Advantage is made up of Collagen & NMN (a NAD+ booster), & contains nine types (yes NINE!) of collagen tripeptides which clinical research has shown to boost skin appearance by promoting skin density, increasing firmness, decreasing wrinkles, & improving hydration.

Get ready to:

• Recover faster from workouts

• Move better no matter your age

• Regain new strength during your workouts

• Optimize your metabolic function

• Increase your mental clarity

It's packaged in a single serve packet, just add to water. I actually love combining this with the doTERRA Greens product each morning. I like the flavor more this way & increasing your greens intake will also help your nutrition & weight loss goals.

To decrease cravings throughout the day:

You don't need all of the following products. They all give you the exact same thing, just in different amount & formats. Pick the ones that work for you. You can do all, or just one - your choice. They all contain the MetaPWR Metabolic Essential oil blend with the perfectly balanced ratio of Grapefruit, Lemon, Peppermint, Ginger, & Cinnamon Bark essential oils to help you curb cravings & support healthy metabolic function when ingested.

MetaPWR Essential Oil Blend:

My favorite way to use this is putting 2-3 drops in my water bottle each time I fill it up. It tastes great & helps with cravings all day.

MetaPWR Softgels:

A quick, convenient softgel you can take between meals to curb cravings. This is perfect for those who don't want to taste the essential oil.

MetaPWR Beadlets: 

Same idea as the softgels above - just smaller. Great to keep in your purse for when you're on the go.

MetaPWR Satiety Gum: 

I love chewing these in the afternoon when I would normally be reaching for a sweet treat.

Lifelong Vitality Pack:

This is your foundation & a very important partner to the MetaPWR products above. The first video below is of Dr. David Hill explaining why Lifelong Vitality is so important to include with MetaPWR for your metabolism goals…
