Living Essentially with Michelle King

4 am starts in the warehouse every day has taken some adjustment. Self care has had to take priority lately. Supporting my body to function this early in the morning means getting my collagen in before the sun comes up, most days. And this has to be my fave flavour of the Recharge. Wild Stawberry! Both of these are in ready to go serving sizes. I chuck 'em into my lunchbox in the morning, so I never forget to get them into me. I am just loving the MetaPWR Advantage. I'm finding I get more restful sleep, my skin tone is improved, and my gut is definitely happier. Have you tried the Advantage yet?!

One of the reasons I NEVER miss Convention. The MERCH!! And who doesn't love an escape from the cold to the Gold Coast?! Only a few more sleeps!

Let's talk Hormone Balance for a minute....

I know I've been a bit absent here. But I promise you, it's been necessary. I've been struggling with anxious feelings. I've been in the process of changing jobs. And I've noticed that my last monthly was in March. So I'm realising that it all comes down to hormone imbalance. So, I'm going back onto my bioavailable hormones (I stopped after a time, for financial reasons). It's time to get back to prioritising ME!

In all of my deep diving on fixing my metabolic syndrome years ago, I learned that insulin is actually a hormone. And that whenever it is present, it makes it impossible for our bods to access our stored fat and burn it. That was a real epiphany for me! I finally had a useful tool in my arsenal to fix my hormonal issues! Why had this never been explained to me before?!

I've been using the MetaPWR system for many months now, and I find it SO extremely helpful in assisting my bod's healthy insulin response to foods. I've even utilised a CGM to see, in real time, what was happening with this. That collagen has slowly been showing improvements on my bod. So much loose skin, after losing 62 excess kilos! It's slowly looking firmer! I know I said I'd report back on how I was finding the MetaPWR, but really wanted to give it a few good months, before doing so.

Now, the ClaryCalm has always been a fave of mine, but even I got a bit slack on remembering to simply apply it regularly. It's an extremely effective blend for supporting hormone balance, right through all of our stages of life. Back to applying it several times a day

I saw my GP yesterday. I explained that my feelings of panic have been off the charts. She gave me a script for an SNRI. I've not had a great history with antidepressants, so I will keep that in my pocket, while I do the work on balancing hormones. But it does sadden me that this is how Western Medicine seemingly "helps" women going through these changes. The list of side effects admittedly put me right off!

This perimenopause journey has been a friggen wild ride! I'm pretty determined to navigate it without having to resort to standard interventions. Anyone else with me on this? I suspect so many of us tend to try to navigate this stage of life in silence

I'm posting this here because although it isn't directly related to the oils, it is related to health. And optimising my own health has been my mission for nearly 6 years now

I've followed Dr. Ken Berry MD from the very beginning of this journey. He has been instrumental in my being successful in losing the extra weight I was carrying (62 kilos for those wondering) in just 15 months! I want those who are facing certain long-term illnesses, being encouraged to take scripts to control the symptoms of these illness (know that the scripts are a band aid, they treat symptoms and not the root cause) and don't know what else to do, but to acquiesce to the Dr's advice, to know about Dr Berry. His book Lies my Doctor Told Me is truly amazing! If you're a bookworm, go read it! If Audible is your jam, go listen to it! But if, like me, you are lost for how to fix a broken metabolism and want real understanding of how to fix this fir yourself, I urge you to listen to him! He has a tonne of vids on YouTube! I just listened to this interview on my morning walk....

Yes, I AM that crazy oil chick! I've been with dōTERRA for 10 years now. I've used these potent oils as emotional and physical support for myself and my whole family ever since my very first touch with them. They are sourced from where they are most indigenous, and the Co Impact Sourcing model used by dōTERRA ensures that the growers receive on time payments each month, so that they can become financially free in so many 3rd world countries.

I've also not missed a dōTERRA Convention in all this time! I'll be there again this year. Will I see you there?!

I recently attended Esoteric Festival 2024 It was my home away from home for 2 weeks. I spent the first week volunteering in the Crew Kitchen. I was up before the sun everyday, helping to ensure everyone on site got breakfast and lunch, while they worked hard on bringing the festival to life. And what an epic time that was! But there were some real challenges this year

It was definitely the hottest Eso I've attended in 5 years. It was nudging 40 degrees Celsius in the daytime, and didn't cool off much at night. Add to the heat, an intense gastro bug (later identified as antibiotic resistant Shigella! 😯) indiscriminately wiped out a number of those involved in building the festival. I somehow dodged that bullet, and I was front of house in the Crew Kitchen (was greeting everyone and handling their meal cards). It made for a pretty intense time

I'm fairly religious about self care, and I feel this had a lot to do with my coming away unscathed. You'll see some of my daily rituals depicted in the 3rd pic. These are my external supports. I'm a big one on getting ample sleep, daily movement (often walking), and eating very low carb. I take my Lifelong Vitality supps along with DDR Prime (pictured in the vit sachet) and use MetaPWR in my water throughout the day. This is my insurance policy uhat my bod is firing on all cylinders, especially when I'm in party mode. I also start taking my OnGuard softgels whenever peeps around me start dropping like flies. This is a formula made for supporting your immune system to be in top form. I'm so grateful that I have these to get me through intense times like these!

Are you using these simple hacks to support your bod? It's definitely the time of year to be thinking about it! 😉

OMG! I've been so flogged with my day job that I forgot to be sure you all knew about this BOGO week! That's Buy One Get One FREE for those who are unsure! If you're already in my oily tribe, you would know about this. But if you're new to dōTERRA, you might not realise that you can get your own Wholesale Membership with that BOGO Box, with the joining fee waived, and free shipping! How awesome is that?!

DM me for more info, as this is only available until midnight on Friday, or until sold out! SO many uses for the oils on offer here, I simply cannot list them all. So, let's chat if this appeals to you!
