Heart Rate Variability

Liz James · October 4, 2023 ·

What is Heart Rate Variability?

… and why would it matter to each one of us?

In a nutshell:

HRV is a scientific measurement of the body’s overall health.

Overall health is determined by the body’s capability to recover and adapt to changes in the environment.

The ultimate measurement of health is Heart Rate Variability.

A consistently low HRV is consistent with poor or declining health.

I was reading about HRV a few weeks ago, and I wondered if essential oils could have an impact on improving our ability to “bounce back”. Being the super curious nerd that I am, I started researching and found some super interesting studies. I won’t include all that I found here, but I did want to share one compilation with you.

It’s so easy to become complacent in what we do. Sometimes we fall off the wagon because we forget the “why” we fell in love with something in the first place.

Use your oils daily and often! For the “just the facts” crowd, here’s the abbreviated outcome. Lavender improves Heart Rate Variability which helps the body more quickly move from the Sympathetic Nervous system response (fight, flight, or freeze) into Parasympathetic Response (rest, recover, and digest).

Who is your buddy when you need help bouncing back?

….. Lavender!

Fireside Chat Heart Health with Young Living

Liz James · April 30, 2023 ·

Well well well….. that 1 pm call was very interesting. The 8 pm call will be more of the same but with different stories and different speakers.

I love learning from other people’s stories!

Some of the topics that were already covered at the noon call:

Emotional source of HBP issue and complimentary oil solutions story

A heart arrhythmia story and what worked for them

A congestive heart disease story and what worked for them

A panic attack (which can feel like a heart attack) and what worked for them

The truth about Cholesterol (it’s not the villain) and Inflammation

Heart Vitaflex Points

A physiological blood pressure problem and what worked for them (two separate stories).

Oils for Reynaud’s

Oils and Supplements for Neuropathy

I’m curious about what tidbits the 8 pm CST call will hold for us!

Be informed so you can be the best CEO of your own body and also help those you love.

Remember: There’s a time and a place for medication (I lean towards emergent care as an example of this), but by and large, medication has consequences…… medication adverse events (whether that be in combo with other meds or a stand-alone event.. it’s all in the same grouping) are the #3 cause of death in the USA. It used to be listed as such….. now that sneaky CDC has it listed as “unintentional injuries” so as to avoid calling out the role Big Pharma plays in deaths (soooo sneaky

)

These calls are NOT recorded.

1:00 pm CT and again at 8:00 pm CT

If you are currently a member of Young Living and would like to attend this evening’s call, please PM me.

If you aren’t yet a member of YL, but would like to be included in calls like this in the future, please PM me.

Know Your Choices

Liz James · March 23, 2023 ·

As long as we’re on the topic (from yesterday’s observations about Wagovy), let’s take a look at another article about a similar injectable in wide use: Trulicity.

Here is probably the most important paragraph in the article written by John Abramson: (If you don’t have time to read the article, please at least read the excerpt

)

” In my recent book, I talk about Trulicity—a diabetes drug that reduces the risk of heart disease. It was heavily advertised on TV and heavily marketed to doctors. But what wasn’t publicized or shared with doctors is Trulicity’s NNT—which stands for “number needed to treat.” The NNT tells you how many patients have to be treated, and for how long, for one patient to benefit from a drug. In the case of Trulicity, it turns out that you have to treat 327 people for approximately three years in order to prevent one non-fatal heart event. And treating just those 327 people over that time period would cost the public $2.7 million. Wouldn’t knowing these numbers make a difference to a doctor deciding whether to prescribe the drug? Or to a patient deciding whether to request the drug? And this is leaving aside the possible negative side effects—and the “number needed to harm” for each of them—which clinical trials often fail to monitor and more often fail to report in journal articles. “

Benefit versus risk friends. Know your choices! There’s a better way.

Happy Maple Syrup Day

Liz James · December 18, 2022 ·

Two types of souvenirs I love collecting on road trips……. local honey and maple syrup! Both are loaded with health benefits

My most recent trip to Ohio yielded some delicious finds, along with a stop in Tennesee (bourbon barrel aged maple syrup

Oh, and Trader Joe’ currently has a seasonal Organic Maple Vinaigrette that is delish!!

Do you cook and bake with maple syrup or honey instead of sugar? What’s one of your favorite ways to use either?
