I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Dr.Yoni Whitten on his show this month, and wanted to share this truly important message with you! Over 50 million adults in the US alone suffer from chronic pain. Many people resign themselves to the fact that they may have to just live with pain...forever.

When working to resolve long-standing pain, the first (and often most important step) is to understand which factors are contributing to your pain.

In his new FREE ebook Beating Back Pain Dr. Whitten reveals the most common triggers for back pain in modern society - things most people never even think about.

More importantly, he doesn’t just talk about them …. Dr. Whitten shows you what to DO about them! Join us for this interview where we talk ALL about pain and how to ease your suffering with essential oils.

Did you know, Essential Oils are basically secret agent spies? I know, like we could possibly love these babies any more! It's called Quorum Sensing, and it’s awesome. It works like this: when bad bacteria in our bodies start chatting about how they’re going to band together and make us sick, essential oils do a little eavesdropping and decide to basically “cut the phone line” the bacteria are using to communicate. At least that’s what it sounds like to me! For the real technical talk, dive into this awesome episode with Dr. Dan Gubler and learn all about quorum sensing and the great clinical trials going on in the field.

I have a huge favor to ask you. Can you please help spread the word that being sick is just a part of aging? I’m serious. The idea that we are destined to feel worse over time is keeping so many of us away from our health potential. Now, I’m not saying you need to become superman or superwoman overnight, but I am saying that becoming a lesser version of yourself is NOT just “how life goes.”
