foundational routines
refining from season to season
Firstly I’m sending much love & appreciation to each of you who are here — reading my Notebook entries and emails, using your oils, curious about how you can take good care of yourself.
Your knowing that you matter, that your peace of mind matters, that the way you feel in your body matters is a gift. It’s one of the threads weaving us all together here.
Finding moments to take care of ourselves and be well is essential.
With this shift in season, I refine my foundational routines. I’ve decided to offer this 2-week mini series about my foundational wellbeing supplement routines. Now in Spring, and in my mid-life season, my body has given me some instructions. It’s is telling me to keep going with some of my supplement rituals, release some, and bring in some new things, enhanced.
I’m choosing longer-form writing so I can get into it more with you. A summary post will be in my website Notebook as well. This 4-part mini email series I’ve prepared is to include some of my favourite high quality and nutrient-dense foundational supplementation systems and support. We need to start with a strong foundation.
A foundation for our wellbeing to flourish — and maintaining it daily with ease— is essential.
This I know! From this foundation then customize & personalize for your own unique needs.
Over the course of the next 2 weeks (Wednesdays & Sundays), I’ll be including my favourites in the following areas:
VITALITY—Vitamins, Minerals, Greens
HYDRATION — Electrolytes
BODY LOVE—Marine Collagen
COGNITION & MICROBIOME—Fish Oil & Pro/Prebiotic
There are a few aspects to creating a strong foundation of wellbeing — high quality supplementation is one of them.
My perspective is that food alone can no longer provide the quality and depth of nutrients, vitamins and minerals our bodies require. And so we supplement.
At this juncture of life, I’m all-in to support my mid-life body and mind, and to take care of myself and fill the gaps to feel great.
Here’s why I have chosen dōTERRA as my primary source of supplements over the past nine years.
dōTERRA’s commitment to:
continued research, development, science, third-party testing;
bioavailability;
absorption;
most effective delivery systems (liposomal & double encapsulation);
nature and bringing us the very, very best
Foundational Wellness and closer to nature: that’s what I’m seeking, and it’s what dōTERRA continues to create for us for transformation in our wellbeing. I have another post that goes into my WHY for choosing dōTERRA as a company, here.
Now let’s get into one of the fun parts… the product itself.
VMG+ is the new daily vitamin, mineral & greens powder. All in a sachet.
Context: this is a refined new product to doTERRA’s Lifelong Vitality (LLV) supplement trio which I took daily for 8 years. VMG+ is available from the USA (Canadian & USA customers) and the Lifelong Vitality pack remains available and a best-seller in Canada, Australia & New Zealand, Europe & UK.
Why? A strong physical foundation is essential for all other functions.
VMG+ has Liposomal Delivery for superior absorption making it a total wow daily supplement. And it tastes delicious. Pop a sachet in water and enjoy your daily dose of vitamins, minerals & greens. Comes in a box with 30 day supply.
Keep it simple: I drink mine after lunch. Add packet to an 8oz glass, fill up with filtered water, and blend with a mini hand blender. I like to close my eyes when I drink it and imagine all the goodness entering my cells. I did the same with my LLV.
5 Proprietary Blends
Nutrition blend: addresses gaps in nutrition, it includes: holy basil, guava, moringa, lemon
Super food blend: 330 identified phytonutrients in this product. Broad collection of natures best nutrients. Unsung heroes only available from natural ingredients
Cellular support blend: antioxidant support & cellular health. Supports direct & indirect antioxidants.
Biotransformation blend: botanicals & biologically enhanced nutrients via biotransformation. Oils: lemongrass, lavender, wild orange
Bioavailability boosting blend: Liposomal Delivery – more nutrients for your cells, acts as protective carriers. Supports bioretention & absorption.
Nourishing myself this way feels like a massive exhale, and so I felt called to share. And it’s so easy to take everyday.
Take what resonates from me and leave the rest.
And remember: in addition to the research, what your Doctor and/or ND says, or what anyone else says (myself included), listen to your instincts. It’s your body & being.
Always here for your questions as we tend to our inner forcefields of vitality to keep us well!
