The Wellness Prepper

2026 has felt like a marathon 🏃‍♀️‍➡️🏃‍➡️ run to me, and now that November is here, I can feel the finish line ahead..... and it feels really good! (How about you?)

Our freebies this month are (as always!) well planned and seasonally appropriate.... Autumn is in full swing: cozy clothing, fall aromas, and unfortunately, dry skin.

100PV Loyalty Order
15ml Orange Essential Oil
Diffuse Orange and Cinnamon Bark to fill your home with a well loved citrus-spice seasonal aroma!
PRO TIP: Remember, when you are diffusing ANY oil from Young Living, you are not only bypassing the toxins found in common air fresheners (.... if you have hormone issues in your home, this is one of the first places to ditch and switch for better health!), you are also utilizing the health benefits that come with each one of these oils knowingly (or unknowingly 😉, which is a great way to bless someone 🎁 who isn't yet understanding what causes dis-ease, mind and body dis-order).

200PV Order
5ml Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil
See 👆 above!
PRO TIP: Cinnamon Bark is chock full of health supportive benefits, especially during seasons of indoor gatherings. Nobody likes a gift that just keeps on giving 🤧🤒and adding a little cinnamon bark to your Autumn diffuser blend helps support everyone's health!

300PV Order
Sandalwood Boswellia Firming Cream
I am so thrilled about this one. The SBFC has been around for a couple of years, and it is so helpful for keeping skin looking and feeling great! It is specifically designed for the neck, chest, arms (these areas are often neglected when working on keeping skin "young" in appearance and health). Winter dry air makes these areas even more prone to looking aged...... I love that this is a free product this month, and if you've never tried it, you get the opportunity to do so at no additional cost to you 😊.

And FINALLY.... the new Holiday Collection will be available today, beginning at noon (Mountain Time). I will have a full list in the comments section. I included a few items that I found particularly attractive (LOVE the Red diffuser!) for both personal and gift giving..... the Serenity collection is a great buy.... cheaper than buying each one of these oils individually, and if you know someone who struggles with stress and anxiousness, this could be the best gift they have ever received. (might also consider tucking a copy of chapter 8 of my Becoming Your Own Health Detective, Volume II... lots of free tools to help mitigate stress).

October has been a blur..... and I've been in 8 states (and DC) in the last 11 days 😍 , sharing about informed choice as it pertains to the blood supply!

Two days ago, Kim, Peter and I (a portion of our BBHB Board) were in DC educating about Informed Consent/Informed Choice as it pertains to the blood supply. What a blessing to share our message with the attendees at the Weston A. Price Foundation 2026 Conference.

Today, we are looking for donors in Wisconsin for an urgent need. If you are able to help or know someone who might be able to help please pass this along!

1 in 70-80 people find themselves surprisingly in need of blood every year. You never know when it could be you or someone you love. Thank you for helping us help others!

The last quarter of 2026 is here. It's a mishmash of all the seasonal things.... Halloween🎃, Fall Football🏈, bonfires and blanket weather, Thanksgiving 🍗and Christmas 🎄will be here in a blink of an eye!
October's gifts with purchase are all about cozy! (Wait you say.... what does Sulfurzyme have to do with being cozy??
Cozy definition (Webster's): "enjoying or affording warmth and EASE; marked by or providing contentment or "COMFORT". )

100PV Loyalty Order
15ml Cedarwood essential oil
YL tip: Diffuse Cedarwood with Orange and Clove oils for a woodsy Autumn home scent (bonus points for helping support a calm nervous system! 🤓)

200PV Order
5ml Vanilla oleoresin
Everything smells a little sweeter and subdued when you add a few drops of vanilla to your blend. This is one of my favorite diffuser oils. It's also a fabulous addition for those of you who like to make your own signature wearable or diffusable scents!

300PV Order
Sulfurzyme Powder
Pro tip: Mix ½ teaspoon with juice or distilled/filtered water and take twice daily to support joint health, normal range of motion, and recovery time of joints after exercise.
You guys.... more than 10 years ago, Sulfurzyme was given as a freebie/gift with purchase. It was something I had never tried before, and it markedly changed my health for the better. It does help my joints find EASE and COMFORT, but there are other areas of inflammation in the body too it helps (this is what I noticed). So, more than 10 years ago, Sulfurzyme entered into my life and changed it.
This is a perfect month to give it a try like I did, for free!
Drop a 🙋‍♀️ if you use Sulfurzyme too (I use the capsules simply because I found they fit my routine better), and hopefully you'll also share your Sulfurzyme story in the comments too.

Who uses the Sulfurzyme powder "Red Drink" recipe?

May your October be COZY.... full of EASE, COMFORT, WARMTH, and CONTENTMENT in all the moments and events.

xoxo~ Liz

If you know someone in NY who might be able to help, please contact us. (We just helped someone else in this area of the US with the same blood type so our donor pool for O+/O- is smaller for the next couple of months.

You never know when you'll need blood. Always have a plan!
Thank you all for helping us help this individual exercise their right to choose what goes into their own body. 🙏🩸

Going thru old pictures this weekend as I build a slide deck. I'm so grateful for the pictures and the visual reminder of how God has been leading and guiding me, the encapsulation of history as He gave me "next steps", as well as the beautiful moments I have been able to capture along the way.

2012 - (some of the first pictures I had captured with technology.... I was late to the game when it came to adopting a smart phone 🥸 ) The friendships across species makes my heart full. This calf's name was Chester and the dog was Cocoa (one of the Great Danes we've had over the years). She really loved the calves.

We've had so many tender "cross species relationships" out here, and to me, it's a reminder of human relationships and that living in harmony and kindness is completely a choice even if we are vastly different from one another.

Weston A Price is an organization that is near and dear to me. They were literally the starting point of my journey from a traditional western medicine minded pharmacist to understanding that health and wellness is not the result of being "medicated" into becoming healthy. In fact, the opposite is usually the case, and it is a slippery slope. They have also played a pivotal role in my personal health journey for the last 20+ years.

It is a humbling honor and privilege, and feels very much full circle to be able to give back (in the way of education) to WAPF. So very thankful they are eager to share our message about the need for medical freedom as it pertains to non-emergency blood transfusions (roughly 75% of the time, there is time to plan, and 1 in 70 people will find themselves in need of a blood transfusion in any given year. Do you have a plan in place? ).

Weston A Price is arguably the "grandmother" of holistic health and wellness communities. They are the real deal and are a wealth of information. Membership is so inexpensive and their conferences are life changing. (This year's conference is in Washington DC Oct 16-18.... would love to see you there! )

Extremely interesting study here for my fellow science nerds 🤓 https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/study-a-single-dose-of-turmeric-boswellia

I'm guessing that if you are a regular follower here, and if so, you likely have these tools in your toolbox already. 💪🌿 If you don't, but wish you did.... PM me.

Have a lovely, (hopefully) pain free Wednesday! xoxo~ Liz

STUDY: A Single Dose of Turmeric + Boswellia Slashed Acute Pain by 97% in Just 6 Hours A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial found rapid reductions in exercise-induced musculoskeletal pain after a single 1-gram dose of turmeric/Boswellia extract.

Mocha or Salted Caramel?❤️🐮❤️

Fall is here! (Would someone please tell the Texas weather that!!🥵 It's hot as blazes and the leaves are falling... but for all the wrong reasons. 😬)

School is in back in session....

Football season has started.....

And Germs🦠 are being passed around like popcorn🍿 at a movie theater🥴....

Is your "keeping it healthy" tool box prepped and ready?
YL presents us with this month's Freebies (with purchase) to help keep us all healthy and on the go to meet the demands of this busy season....

100PV Loyalty Order
Ginger essential oil, 5 ml
Historically, Ginger has been used for thousands of years for queasy stomachs and to aid in digestion. Guess what.... even smelling it has a stomach calming effect!

200PV Order
Raven essential oil blend, 15 ml
Such a great blend for supporting easy breathing (esp when "the crud" 🤧🤒 has you in its grip!)

300PV Order
ImmuPro Chewable Tablets
Not sleeping well makes a body ripe for germ invasion, and nobody has time for that! Immupro is one of my favorite All Star is when it comes to Immune Support. It's a combo sleep aid (with a touch of melatonin) / immune support. Take one right before bed!
PRO TIP: Combine this with swiping Thieves oil on the bottoms of your feet at night before bed..... Top off with a diffuser blend for either sleep or immune support, and you've got a winning team working to keep you well and healthy!

What is your favorite oil that you turn to in times of feeling like the crud has crept into your life?

xoxo~ Liz
