Crack the code on boosting your metabolism in healthy ways

Rarely will you meet a super healthy, successful person that doesn't supplement. Food is our most effective medicine, but eating right won't take us all the way to our health goals. Why?

Because we don't get everything we need from our food. Due to soil depletion, GMO's, the ability to ship long distances, & food being on the shelf longer … food today is not as nutrient dense as it was just a few short decades ago. This is a big reason why I finally planted a garden.🌱

So today we're going to dive into some ways to help you actually reach your weight goals by boosting your metabolism in healthy ways, & ADDING some important things to how you eat.

You know what's great about that? So much of what you hear about losing weight is geared toward cutting things OUT of your diet. But I've discovered that when you ADD the right things, it squeezes the yucky stuff out of your diet naturally.

Let me give you an example.

When I'm craving the homemade chocolate chip cookies my son made last night (and he makes the BEST cookies!😋), I tell myself I can eat them … but only after I've had my green smoothie & the veggies I cut up to eat that morning. I might still have that cookie, but if I do, I'll consume far less than if I was hungry & downed 5 of them. I might not even want the cookie because I'm full.

Are you getting the picture?

Let's get into some key things to include every day, & also learn how essential oils can help support you reaching a healthy weight, having more energy, better sleep…all the things that are part of your metabolic health.

Natural solutions for boosting metabolism

GREAT sleep is your #1 tool to boost metabolism:

Given the choice to get up earlier to workout, or to get the proper amount of sleep (at least 8 hours is recommended), experts will tell you to get your rest. Exercise is important, and you need that too. But sleep comes first.

All of your body systems rely on quality sleep to work well.

Here's how hormones take a hit when sleep isn’t prioritized:

  • Changes the way and rate our body stores fat.

  • Can affect cognitive function.

  • Lowers immune response.

  • Slows down our metabolism.

  • Increases stress hormones.

  • Increases fat storage hormones.

If your sleep is being affected, your hormones will quickly follow.

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.

To put it simply, this product changes your fast carbs into slow carbs (which is what you want if you're trying to have better metabolic health).

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

Take one of these a day.

As you age, so does your metabolic function. Your metabolism influences your energy, weight, body composition, & even your cognitive performance. MetaPWR Advantage was developed with doTERRA researchers to help maintain healthy cell & organ function, to keep you mentally energized, & to promote healthy weight & body composition.

MetaPWR Advantage contains NMN & resveratrol, & boosts metabolic health by increasing NADH & NAD+ production in the body & activating the SIRT longevity genes. It also contains nine types of collagen tripeptides from marine sources, which may improve skin elasticity, density, & firmness & support lean muscle & connective tissue.

This ingredient list is so great for many things…including your energy levels!

  • Marine Collagen

  • Liposomal Vitamin C

  • Sea Buckthorn Fruit Extract

  • NMN Enriched Yeast

  • Red Orange Fruit Extract

  • Hyaluronic Acid

  • Grapefruit Essential Oil

  • Lemon Essential Oil

  • Peppermint Essential Oil

  • Ginger Essential Oil

  • Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil

This really is a hero product & just to make sure you understand the significance of having NINE types of marine collagen, here's what those nine types do:

  • Collagen type I is related to skin beauty.

  • Collagen type II is related to bone protection & is the main component of cartilage.

  • Collagen type IV is the main protein of the basement membrane, connecting the dermis & the epidermis & forming a network structure to make the basement membrane malleable.

  • Collagen type V is related to the regular arrangement of collagen fibers, stabilizing the structures of type I & type II collagen.

  • Collagen type VI maintains mechanical function in the cell, supporting both muscle function & cell membrane integrity. Additionally, this collagen type inhibits oxidative damage & apoptosis.

  • Collagen type IX is an important component of cartilage & is mainly distributed in the cartilage cells of growth plates, joints, & intervertebral discs.

  • Collagen type XXV inhibits the fibrillation of amyloid beta peptide. (If you aren't familiar, amyloid beta is what builds up in the brains of people with Alzheimer's)🤯

  • Col1a2 protein is collagen fibrillin.

  • Vacuolar protein sorting 37A is involved in cell growth & differentiation.

This collagen is sourced from sustainably harvested cold-water marine fish & has been hydrolyzed (predigested) by endopeptidases & exopeptidases. These enzymes create small tripeptide fragments of three amino acid sequences for optimal absorption. Other collagens in the market—whether from land animals or marine sources—typically contain tripeptide content of 15–35%. MetaPWR Advantage collagen contains more than 70% tripeptide fragments for superior absorption (in some cases, up to 12 times more absorbable).

So yeah. WAY more than just collagen.

For cravings:

The MetaPWR essential oil blend is my favorite way to decrease cravings. You just add 2-3 drops to your water bottle each time you fill it up. It tastes great, helps you get your water in during the day, & keeps cravings at bay. It's a perfectly balanced ratio of Grapefruit, Lemon, Peppermint, Ginger, & Cinnamon Bark essential oils to help you curb cravings & support healthy metabolic function when ingested.

doTERRA Greens:

Getting your greens in is extremely important for both getting the nutrition your cells need, and also maintaining a healthy weight.

I eat a ton of vegetables every day, but it's hard for anyone to meet what our bodies need just by eating vegetables. I've had trouble finding a “greens” supplement that I loved, but I love combining this with the MetaPWR Advantage Collagen +NMN in the morning.

I simply add a scoop of the greens to a cup of water, then a packet of the Advantage Collagen. Then use an electric whisk for a few seconds to combine. It tastes fruity & yummy & I get a bunch of greens into my daily diet that way, along with all the benefits of 9 types of marine collagen +NMN.

Make sure you're getting enough protein:

Protein helps you to stay full and provides the building blocks for your muscles. Exercising and toning up your muscles will help you to burn more calories, even at rest, during your day.

I have a hard time eating enough protein, so a clean protein powder helps me meet my goals. DoTERRA's are extremely clean, and they even have a Vegan option if that's what you need.
