Weight gain

Is your Perfume Making you Fat?


If getting fit or fighting fat is on your to do list for 2024, then listen up: there may be an unlikely culprit that makes it hard to drop excess weight and get in shape. It’s not desserts or fries, my friend, it’s fragrance.

Fragrance belongs to a category of chemicals known as phthalates, which are known endocrine disruptors. When our bodies are overloaded with toxins, such as phthalates, they wrap those harmful chemicals in fat cells. These toxic particles wrapped in fat can take on a life of their own and become obesogens, altering your body to favor weight gain.

Here are a few of the ways obesogens can affect you:
  • increasing the number of fat cells
  • increasing the storage of fat in existing fat cells
  • altering the rate of fat cell production versus destruction
  • shifting energy balance to favor calorie storage
  • changing the basal metabolic rate (BMR), which is how many calories your body needs to fulfill its basic functions
  • altering gut microbiota to promote food storage
  • modifying hormonal control of appetite and fullness
Luckily, there is a simple way we can make a shift that serves our bodies and helps us to eliminate the obesogen issue: the Make a Shift Essential Solutions kit is the perfect way to kick off the new year fragrance free and ready to fight fat!


The Make a Shift Kit includes a GORGEOUS diffuser, and the following oils that every home needs:
  1. Purification: Kicks stinky odors to the curb, is great for blemishes and bug bites, and helps to freshen carpet! Pop this oil in the diffuser to freshen the house after a fragrant dinner or in smelly shoes that need odor elimination!
  2. Lavender: The answer to your sleep, skin, and stress woes, this oil is fabulous diffused or applied topically. The gentle floral scent is a fan favorite, and its effectiveness at supporting everything from sleep to season sniffles makes it a must have for every home!
  3. Peppermint: This fresh and minty oil will put some pep in your step, is proven to help decrease cravings when sipped in water, settles tummy troubles, and helps you get a deep breath when working out or dealing with seasonal changes. It’s also great at relieving tired or tight muscles; the minty tingle will have you tossing every other cream in your cabinet and embracing the natural goodness of Peppermint essential oil!
  4. Thieves: This must have oil is a staple in many homes, and for good reason. It’s a potent germ fighter, air freshener, dental health supporter, and more! We love diffusing Thieves for a home that smells cozy while enjoying the immune supporting benefits at the same time. You don’t want to start the new year without this oil in your arsenal!
  5. Stress Away: This roll on will help you start the year footloose and fancy free! Apply topically to the wrists and neck for instant stress relief and the intoxicating smell of vanilla and lime. We love this as an alternative to perfume that has bonus benefits!
  6. Deep Relief: Kiss sore muscles and achy joints goodbye with this incredible roll on! Super powered and extra tingly, this minty oil uses plant powered goodness to bring relief to all kinds of discomfort. Roll it on topically anywhere you need relief (I love using this on my temples and my scalp) and enjoy quick relief without any toxins or chemicals!
As you make a shift in your wellness routine in the new year, don’t forget to swap out fragrance filled items in your home for plant powered goodness that will help you feel fit and fabulous in 2024!

Hello!


My name is Gayle Reinsma, and my passion in life is to help people navigate through the sometimes overwhelming choices in wellness through nature.  As a health freedom advocate, you will be able to rely on me to help you feel confidence in speaking up for yourself through informed choices, networking, and emotional support.  It's my JOB to teach you, and I love what I do!

11 years ago, when I first started using essential oils, I had no idea what I was doing, and I REALLY had no idea how my life was about to change.  I just wanted to see what this stuff was.  When my starter kit arrived, I will say that it was love at first "sniff!" My body knew immediately that these were powerful, impactful bottles of goodness. But the funny part was it took my dog to show me just how much that was so.

That night, I placed Lavender and a blend called Peace and Calming in my beautiful brand new diffuser, and set it on my husband's night stand in order to help him sleep.  It began to storm, and I knew I needed to find and comfort my dog (do you have a fraidy-cat dog when it storms? - then you get it!).  When I located her, I was startled to find her pressed up against the night stand to get as close as she could to the diffuser! I knew right away that I had something very special in my home!  The dog was not her spastic stormy self - she was calm.  Let's just say that after several repeated events like this, she made my entire family believers in the power of essential oils!  Since that time, we have countless other stories like this personally as a family - on OUR health.  

Are you ready to make a life changing step in your health?  I promise you, if you let us help me help you learn how to use these pure plant extracts, your life will change as well.   These oils are special my friend!  There are none others like ours due to our seed to seal guarantee! We are the ONLY essential oil company that will guarantee this to you.  We are the only one who grows them ourselves.  There are hundreds of different "essential oil" on the market today, and many have almost no plant extract in them.  Many are also grown on fields with synthetic chemicals and are cut and extended with other products in order to make them inexpensive. I would never trust those on my or my families skin, would you?   Seed to Seal Guarantee
