Master Good Habits

As we usher in a brand-new year, it's the perfect time to hit the reset button and channel our energy into crafting daily wellness habits. Don't know where to start? Let's start with looking at the Wellness Pyramid.

The dōTERRA Wellness Pyramid

The Wellness Pyramid illustrates the partnership between lifestyle and healthcare. When lifestyle is the focus, health is naturally achieved and maintained.

Each step is critical for the success of the steps above it. So starting with improving your nutrition & digestion is the most important habit as it also is foundational for helping with metabolism, reducing stress, sleeping better, and reducing toxicity.

As you're working on improving your daily wellness habits, look over this pyramid and think about which areas you need to focus on first. Sometimes we need to start with small steps.

Nutrition & Digestion

Give your body what it needs to thrive. It all starts with optimal daily nutrition and digestive support.

But although we may do well with our eating habits, we can still be lacking in the optimal amount of nutrients our body needs.

dōTERRA TerraZyme - Supports healthy digestion and metabolic processes with whole-food enzymes.

DigestZen TerraZyme promotes food tolerance and eases gas and bloating with 10 critical digestive enzymes that are required for healthy digestion but may be missing in the modern diet. Take as needed for occasional upset, or take daily for proactive digestive support.

• Lipase breaks down fats and oils to be absorbed in the intestine.

• Lactase breaks down lactose found in milk sugars.

• Alpha Galactosidase breaks down complex polysaccharide sugars found in legumes.

• Cellulase breaks down fiber to help digest fruits and vegetables.

• Sucrase breaks down sucrose to fructose and glucose for energy.

• Anti-Gluten Enzyme Blend assists in breaking down gluten (found in many cereal grains).

• Glucoamylase breaks down starch.

These digestive enzymes are often deficient in cooked, processed, and preservative-laden foods. In addition to food enzymes, this well-researched digestion formula also includes the doTERRA proprietary tummy tamer blend of extracts of Peppermint, Ginger root, and Caraway seed to soothe stomach discomfort.

dōTERRA PB Restore ProBiome Complex - Supports healthy digestion and metabolic processes with whole-food enzymes.

Your microbiome functions like an invisible organ. It’s a vast and diverse ecosystem of microbes that are essential to wellness. Key to microbiome function is proper microbial diversity and balance, with a high ratio of good bacteria to bad. The body’s natural aging process can disrupt your microbiome, along with an unbalanced diet, lack of exercise, poor sleep schedule, and stressful lifestyle. Augmenting a wellness lifestyle with supplementation can help restore microbiome health.

doTERRA PB Restore ProBiome Complex is a unique formulation of 30 pre-, pro-, and postbiotics and bacteriophages that help restore microbial diversity and balance for optimal microbiome health and overall wellness.* The 18 billion colony-forming units (CFUs) of probiotics, or good bacteria, consist of 24 active cultures—an unparalleled variety of carefully selected strains from 22 different species—for exceptional microbial diversity.* The prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and bacteriophages help achieve and maintain microbial balance by encouraging the growth of good bacteria and selectively attacking the bad.* The postbiotic—made up of bioactive compounds produced from healthy bacteria—provides additional health benefits.*

The doTERRA PB Restore dual-chamber, time-released delivery system supports the body throughout the day.* It aids digestive comfort, micronutrient synthesis, gut barrier integrity, and healthy metabolism.* Metabolites produced by the bacterial strains in doTERRA PB Restore have been shown to support skin health, the respiratory and immune systems, and a healthy inflammatory response.* Early research on certain ingredients—including L. Rhamnosus CRL 1505, the postbiotic in doTERRA PB Restore—indicates they may also help with brain, cardiovascular, urological, and metabolite function, as well as a healthy DNA response to oxidative stress.

Make it a Habit

1. Daily Probiotic Routine: Take PB Restore as part of your daily routine, either first thing in the morning or with a meal. This ensures a consistent intake of beneficial probiotics to support gut health.

2. Immune Support: Consider increasing your intake of PB Restore during times when immune support is crucial, such as during seasonal changes or when traveling.

3. Post-Antibiotic Use: If you've recently taken antibiotics, incorporate PB Restore or PB Assist+ into your routine to help replenish the beneficial bacteria in your gut.

4. Smoothie Booster: Add PB Restore to your morning smoothie for a delicious and convenient way to include probiotics in your diet.

5. Post-Travel Recovery: After traveling, especially if you've been exposed to different environments, support your gut health by taking PB Restore for a few days.

6. Family Wellness Routine: Make taking PB Restore & PB Assist+ a family affair. It's suitable for both adults and children, making it easy to incorporate into your family's daily wellness routine.

Your body is meant for movement. Regular exercise strengthens the muscles and supports the cardiovascular, circulatory, and lymphatic systems.
