Herbs and Bitters and What They Do For Your Appetite For Sugar (Biohacking Series 23 of 25)

Herbs and Bitters and What They Do For Your Appetite For Sugar (Biohacking Series 23 of 25)

When I started using essential oils 7 years ago I remember someone saying if you feel like the entire box of Oreo cookies needed to be eaten at one time then you might have a sugar addiction.  I also remember them advising “my friend” who had this problem, to use dill essential oil to curb the cravings for serious amounts of sugar.  

I just could NOT imagine that could really work or maybe it was just because I, ahem, I mean, “my friend” enjoyed her sugary treats.  The problem was, so did the intestinal bacteria in “my friend’s” gut.  Over time, what started as food poisoning became a cause for weight gain as the microbiome in her stomach went topsy turvy.  Yes, I know, topsy turvy is not exactly a medical term, but I am working to keep this blog to generalities, as that is probably most accurate and honest.  

My friend’s cravings for sugar intensified and so did her weight.  Weight had not been a problem for over twenty years but now, with the microbiome disturbed and the stress levels high, the pounds kept adding up.  Then, the hormones began to go off balance again.  Not addressing this craving had high consequences.  

When a person has a disease that causes chronic inflammation, the risk of infection increases as the body, although trying to protect itself may inadvertently now trap the very bacteria it was trying to effectively deal with.  Ironic, isn’t it?  

Adding to the inflammation by eating sugar just inflames the problem.  Pun intended.  #sorrynotsorry.  Seriously though, sugar and especially sugar combined with dairy compounds the inflammatory issue and there is not a lot supplements can do.  Hold the inflammation at bay?  Maybe a bit, but ultimately, it will take some specific initiatives if one wants to REALLY get rid of inflammation and therefore decrease the flare ups in diseases with potential for chronic inflammation, not to mention infection.  

So how does one address the issue of a sugar addiction?  Will power is a good start but I truly believe that there needs to be a shift in one’s thinking and then the use of herbs and bitters in a capsule or as an essential oil applied to the skin.

I know, you are wondering how do you shift your thinking?  “My friend” asked the same thing.  Hehe.  There is a process called Aroma Freedom Technique.  It has to do with goal setting and clearing emotions using the powerful molecules of pure essential oils that travel up into the brain via the olfactory nerve to centers in the brain that are known to be called the seat of trauma.   This part of the brain is more specifically called the amygdala.  


I am finishing up my certification in this area of expertise, so please stay tuned for opportunities to do some group clearings.  The more people I work with at once, the more cost effective it is for everyone.  If you simply cannot wait, feel free to contact me via Fb messenger.  

Much love,

Welcome to Pure Living 316

Welcome to Pure Living 316
Welcome to Pure Living 316, a company that provides multiple services including Home Safety Evaluations that help you to eliminate the most common sources of EMF and RF that could be causing you harm.  This evaluation will offer possible sources and then solutions to decrease the amount of electro smog in your home.  We are not guaranteeing a change in your health but I would be surprised if you did not feel the difference once you put the recommended changes in place.  (I provide these for the DFW area in Texas, if you live somewhere else, please read on for other ways in which I can help you). Cost is $250.

That being said, I would like to let you know a little bit about what I recommend when looking at the WHOLE picture, if you are having unexplained health problems.  The body needs care in multiple ways, the most powerful way after getting rid of as much electrical noise as possible is to change your diet.  Gluten and dairy can wreak havoc on a body’s systems.  

The other major change is the amount of exercise and getting on the actual ground.  You may have heard of grounding?  Getting outside with nature, when possible, barefoot is best.  

The other MAJOR ways to impact your health include getting rid of as many products that contain synthetic ingredients as you can.  Bath, body, home cleaning, makeup and medicines that are able to be switched out using a plant-based solution. 

When I refer to using plant-based products, that means they will contain essential oils.  And not just any but pure 100% therapeutic grade that have been safely sourced.  The goal is to raise our frequency so that we are not susceptible to everyday microbes we come into contact with.  

Essential oils have a frequency, just as every other living thing has a frequency.  Applying plants daily is the goal I have for everyone I encounter, because of the powerful role they play in wellness.  If you are interested, I have a scanner that can read the bodies frequencies and let you know which products would benefit it best.  

My company I distribute products for is the world’s leader in producing essential oils.  We have over 600 products including bath, body, a home cleaning line, supplements, shakes and bars as well as a weight loss line.  My #1 product I suggest people begin with is a starter bundle of the Thieves line.  This bundle contains many of your everyday products, making it easy to start by getting rid of synthetic ingredients in your most common everyday household products you use.  After that, I recommend getting a diffuser to use by your bed at night.  Getting a good night’s sleep is crucial to restoring your body’s health to a higher level of function.  

If you like my services, I would appreciate referrals and with it I gift you an oil from our “vitality” line, one that you can add to your water throughout the day.  Lemon, lime, orange and citrus fresh are uplifting, peppermint and spearmint help with digestion and keep you more alert when you inhale them as well as *ingest them.

Much love, grace and peace to you,    
 
     Paula

*Please do not ingest oils from other companies, unless the label actually tells you it is safe to do so.

Why Do I Need to Avoid Gluten and Dairy? (Biohacking Series 22 of 25)

Why Do I Need to Avoid Gluten and Dairy? (Biohacking Series 22 of 25)

If you have been around the posts talking about whether or not to avoid wheat and dairy you will see there is still much controversy over these foods that often make up a large portion of the American diet.  Other countries too I imagine, but I will keep my assumptions out of this.  J  

 

When my son was born, I was concerned about his tolerance to wheat and dairy because of the congestion these foods both cause me and some other family members.  But more than that was the way these foods are processed.  

 

Wheat, if you were not aware is a GMO, that stands for genetically modified organism.  Yup.  The wheat seeds as our ancestors knew them are no longer being used for growing the fields of wheat for most processed foods in our stores today.  

What exactly does it mean to modify a food?  In the lab, with wheat anyhow, they have injected the seeds with glyphosate.  Some people know this substance more commonly as “Round up”, yes, a weed killer.  Scientists have made this plant resistant to bugs but I would also argue it is now resistant to humans.  If a bug eats a kernel of wheat in a field, he can expect his insides to blow up.  No more bug problem.  

 

Unfortunately, you have now created a BIG problem for the humans who eat this crop.  It’s interesting that at the same time this way of farming was introduced, anti-depressant use in the US skyrocketed at an alarming rate.  The two can be correlated and I would say it probably is not a coincidence.  

 

Eighty percent of your serotonin resides in your gut, if you are ingesting a high wheat diet you can bet there will be chemical changes to your intestines.  Not to mention destruction of serotonin.  What else gets destroyed?  The microbiome and eventually the lining of the gut may be compromised.  This is known as leaky gut.  Now you are set up for food allergies, as tiny particles of proteins from your food will get out of the stomach and into the body in places it does not belong.  

 

The body then thinks it is seeing an invader, so it attacks.  Thus, the seemed allergy or better said, intolerance to wheat is seen.  And actually, many do not see it.  So, the body is put into an inflammatory state on an ongoing basis as long as these GMOs are being ingested.  In addition to the modification of the seeds, there is also spraying of the crops before and after harvesting, again with the glyphosate.  This produces the largest crop with the least amount of damage from pests and also makes the wheat come off the stalks easier.  


 

The other issues that have always been true with processed wheat is the loss of the bran, or the outer fibrous coating.  This is where the nutrition and fiber come from.  What we are left with is a food high in gluten content that is then extra hard to digest.  Gluten is the sticky part of the wheat.  Gluten content has skyrocketed with the modification of the wheat, making it more unhealthy now, compared to the wheat of long ago.  


Dairy is the other food that is hotly contested as to whether someone with a mucus problem, or anyone for that matter, should be ingesting.  I understand it can feel impossible to eliminate it, especially when children are young, but the results are oh so worth it.  Whether you think you can tell or not, dairy does cause excess mucus production and can occur without you seeing a thing until it is too late and sinus passages are blocked or ears have generated more yellow sticky fluid.  

 

As with all my blogs, I am trying to share with you how to get the body working at its peak performance.  This includes eliminating any possible sources of inflammation which can contribute to the cyclical issue of more mucus being produced and passages being blocked or slowed.  

 

The key for me with my children was not to have these products in the house so they were not aware of other options.  I’ll admit it became harder as they grew up, with all the pizza and cake at birthday parties and the school cafeteria that serves pizza as an option on a daily basis.  What I would say is do your best to keep the diet free of these things but don’t make yourself crazy over it.  

 

There are many options out there for milk, and also for wheat products, but ideally the switch would be to more natural whole foods than simply substituting one processed food for another.  

 

Wishing you and your family the best of health in 2022 and beyond.  

 

Much love, 
Paula Baron P.T.

Speaking of Things as Though They Were (Biohacking Series 20 of 25)

Speaking of Things as Though They Were (Biohacking Series 20 of 25)
 When my son was born with a diagnosis as serious as Cystic Fibrosis, thankfully my husband and I were on the same page about not speaking negative things over him and his future.  What I did on my own though, was what I was taught in prayer classes: Speaking of things as though they (already) were.   


What does that mean exactly?  Just like Abraham called himself the father of many nations before he even had a child, I thanked God for healing my son of Cystic Fibrosis.  I thanked God for keeping his lungs clear and his GI tract healthy.  I spoke of my son as already having been healed from the Cystic Fibrosis, even though clearly, he was still dealing with the effects of the aberrant genes that cause digestive difficulties and also repeated sinus infections.  
 
In order to see things from God’s point of view, who they say stands outside of time and space, I would have to say that my son’s healing was done.  Paid for by the death of our savior Jesus Christ.  He took a beating so that my son could be healed, body and soul.  So, how did I reconcile that while my son was still manifesting signs and symptoms of CF?  
 
It is a faith and trust walk for sure, believing for what I did not see yet in the natural.  I just kept on thinking on the characteristics of God, being a good Father and one who had healing for His children.  I concentrated on doing all the things in the natural to help his body catch up to what the  Bible said, that He heals ALL our diseases.  And that we must take authority over all things on the earth, and I took that to even apply to Cystic Fibrosis.  
 
You may want to call me crazy at this point but I tell you, the spiritual walk of a Christian is quite counter culture to Western Medicine type thinking; see a symptom, hit it with a synthetic medicine.  The Bible mentions plants and essential oils over 1000 times in Scripture.  



He gave us all we need to expectorate, rejuvenate and heal our bodies, it is just knowing how to use these natural products that seems to limit the number of people using them in aggressive enough manners to really combat a sticky situation like Cystic Fibrosis.  
 
But not to worry, I will be doing a couple videos regarding total body cleansing first through diet and ingestion of herbs and then through all types of application of essential oils, from head to toe. 

 It is important to start thinking differently.  Start thinking about applying plants daily.  Yup, every single day.  Not just when you begin to not feel well, although that could be a good time to step it up!  

 
Much love, His grace and peace to you and yours,
 
 
Paula Baron P.T.

Meet Paula Baron P.T.

 
I can't believe how different my life is since finding Young Living Essential oils over 8 years ago.  My friend invited me to a class on essential oils.  I didn't even know what an essential oil was but I had heard that they could possibly help my son who was born with the diagnoses of Cystic Fibrosis.  Not long after I began using the oils with him I began to use them for my own health challenges shall we say ;-).  These little bottles have saved my life and my son's life.  Literally. 
No exaggeration.  

If you are tired of the same ol' same ol' of how modern medicine cares for you or your children, please let me show you a better way.  A more excellent way addressing not only what you eat but what you use when you need to address a particular health concern.  We are all in this together!  Please let me serve you by giving you a complimentary 30 minute video chat via my private office on this site.       

If this interests you, please shoot me a message via the "chat" feature.  I will get back to you just as soon as I am able!  Please don't give up hope, there is a better way to recover from the health challenges that you and your loved ones may be facing. Read on for a more in-depth BIO about me. 
                                                                                                                               

Paula Baron, a Physical Therapist for over 22 years, is now a proud distributor for Young Living Essential Oil products, as well as giving private Pilates Instruction.  Her training has been under the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute (APPI).  She also does: Home Safety Evaluations to help you remediate electro smog; Aroma Freedom Sessions for reaching your goals, and Raindrop Therapy sessions for overall body wellness.  

In the last eight years, Paula has poured her heart and soul into learning about, using and now educating people about proactive health with an emphasis on using essential oils because of their amazing properties and abilities to increase people's level of wellness without negative side effects.  Not only does she care for her family using the oils, but she cleans her house with them as well.   

Inspired by her son, born almost 14 years ago, with the fatal diagnoses of Cystic Fibrosis, she has been able to significantly improve her son's liver panel, maintain normal lung function, as well as avoid pharmaceuticals for most of his life since finding the oils, even with this terrible genetic disorder.  Cystic Fibrosis impacts every organ but especially the lungs, liver and G.I. system.  

Homebound for several years due to severe chronic pain following the birth of her second son, she has recovered through natural means that she now passionately shares with others.  She is all about educating people in how to impact health with the aggressive use of essential oils, prayer, supplements , diet and lifestyle changes.
