You may not realize this, but your DNA can tell you a lot about what essential oils can be used to help your body’s specific needs. This week we’ll dive deeper into what exactly DNA is, and what it can tell us about our bodies. We’re joined by popular repeat guest Dr. Lindsey Elmore who is a speaker, author, brand strategist, podcast host and world-renowned wellness expert. Lindsey translates complicated science into understandable stories, and travels the world educating audiences about natural wellness.
It’s so important to feel in tune with your body, and a DNA test is just one way to help get answers about your body’s needs, or even validate your healthy decisions! There are so many factors that influence the expression of your DNA, and it’s important to seek out healthy ways to control your diet, nutrition and environment. Remember - a better awareness of your body can set you up for lifelong health!
In this Episode You’ll Discover:
A great way to use essential oils on your face mask. Place 1 drop eucalyptus radiata essential oil and 1 drop bergamot essential oil on the outside of your face mask to help with anxiety and give you a sense of peace (1:50)
Hear more about how Lindsey is interviewing on 30 podcasts in 30 days (5:30)
What DNA is, what can it tell us about our bodies, and how essential oils can act differently for each person based on their DNA (7:30)
How a DNA test can be used as a tool to help understand your body’s specific needs. If you are interested in DNA testing, Lindsey advises to pay attention to a company’s privacy statement on how they plan to use the data. Unfortunately, there are some companies who may sell your DNA results to third party clients, so make sure to do your homework and listen to some of the suggestions Lindsey gives in the episode! (13:15)
Specific examples of all the different genes that govern a person’s life and how to understand your body in particular (26:02)
Common questions surrounding genetic testing (including the BRCA gene!) and how to approach the results of a DNA test. Lindsey’s advice is to remember - you are the expert of your body! Don’t let the news or social media dictate what is best for you. A DNA test can help a person who is struggling with something in their life or provide validation for already healthy behaviors. Be in tune with your body and surround yourself with resources that work best for you! (29:35)
