Skinny Jeans Challenge | Natural Metabolism Support
Updated: Jul 12, 2020
Are your clothes feeling a little extra snug these days? We feel ya! Since quarantine started, Max and I have been eating more delicious food and I haven't been working out/doing yoga as much... and it shows a bit! We *just* moved to the beach in Hollywood Florida as well - so we want to do this challenge again as we saw such amazing results last time!
Are you ready to kickstart your metabolism this summer with us?
You all know how much we loves plants... and plants in the form of potent essential oils & supplements support our entire body systems, nourish us, and can help us achieve our goals!
Better functioning body systems (optimization) = letting go of stubborn weight.

And much more

3. Science Behind These Essential Oils and Supplements
Y'all know how much we LOVE digging into the science behind all of the products we use! Max has a Masters in Clinical Nutrition & we're both Registered Dietitians (I worked in as a clinical dietitian in a hospital for several years before we started teaching and traveling the world!), so of course we'll provide you all with the science background on how these oils and supplements work in our bodies!
Side note: Max was anti-essential oils before he starting using them... and then after learning more about the hard science and experiencing them in his body, he's now a super advocate - but that's a whole other story by itself!
Plants heal - emotionally, energetically, and physically.
Trillions of cells make up each human body, and it's remarkable to reflect on the synergy that occurs between those cells. The "energy" for life comes from within the mitochondria of each of these cells. As we age, our body's mitochondrial function becomes less efficient, which leaves us with lower levels of energy and more toxic cellular exhaust. Some people boost their energy levels through caffeine and other stimulants that can provide a quick buzz - I'm guilty! Who doesn't love a good oat milk latte or matcha latte?? 🙋🏻♀ However, depending on those caffeine boosts everyday can drain your energy and adrenal glands long-term!
Mito2Max is a proprietary formula of standardized plant extracts and metabolic cofactors that supports healthy cellular energy production.
Enhances mitochondria function, supports stamina and endurance, helps the body adapt more quickly, and helps increase mental energy
Promotes efficient production of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) in the mitochondria of cells, which are like the power plants of our cells, and ATP transports energy within the cells to help with metabolism
Acetyl-L-carnitine, a primary ingredient of Mito2Max, supports mental health, mitochondrial function, and circulation to the brain. It also helps transport the fat into the mitochondria so that it can be burned for energy!
Oligonol is a unique and powerful antioxidant blend that combines biologically active polyphenols from lychee fruit and green tea in a form that allows them to be quickly absorbed and is effective at protecting cells against free radicals and oxidations. It also helps support improved circulation and energy, both of which are important to overall healthy aging.
Ashwagandha root extract, which has been called the "herb of the ages" has been studied for generations and utilized for boosting energy levels and supporting immunity and libido, while having positive effects on mood, sleep, and stress
Yarrow Pom helps boost the metabolism by acting as a natural diuretic while assisting the body in breaking down fat.
Provides powerful antioxidant support
One of the chemical constituents in Yarrow|Pom oil known as Beta-Carophyllene (β-caryophyllene) has substantial benefits for the immune and cellular systems.
Pomegranate seed oil is rich in punicic acid (ClnA) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). CLA is known as an "omega 5" fatty acid due to the location of the double bond in its chemical structure, and these unique conjugated fatty acids are known to provide metabolic support within key organs like the liver and pancreas, specifically in processes like lipid (fat) transport and lipid metabolism.
Supports healthy metabolic function
Calms the body and mind
Soothing to the skin
In addition to being taking internally (which is what we're going to be doing here, I put this on my skin every day - it's collagen producing and also called the "Benjamin Button oil" because it reverse ages you! 😂)
Turmeric Essential Oil
Helps support healthy glucose (sugar) and liquid (fat) metabolism
Enhances cellular antioxidant enzymes (e.g. glutathione, which is the MASTER antioxidant produced in your liver)
Has been shown to increase curcumin potency and absorption
Promotes healthy immune function and response
Supports clean and healthy-looking skin while reducing the appearance of blemishes
Pink Pepper Essential Oil
Well known for its ability to help support a healthy metabolism and immune when taken internally
Helps the body maintain healthy cellular function and overall cellular health
Limonene and α-Phellandrene, two of the main chemical components of Pink Pepper essential oil, may be calming to the nervous system
Additionally, Limonene helps support healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels already in the normal range when taken internally
Black Pepper Essential Oil
Provides antioxidant support
Supports healthy circulation
Aids digestion
Enhances food flavor
Soothes anxious feelings
Lifelong Vitality Supplements
Full of essential nutrients, metabolism benefits, and powerful antioxidants designed to help promote energy, health, and lifelong vitality
Max and I were not fans of generic supplements (as we know what goes onto the supplement industry and how most supplements don't contain what they say they do!)... but after getting on the Lifelong vitality supplements (LLV in short) back in March 2019, we have never felt better in our lives!
Frankincense Essential Oil
We say: When in Doubt, FRANK IT OUT! Because Frankincense for anything & everything - the end. But no really, it is called the KING of oils, for a good reason!
Supports healthy cellular function
Supports healthy immune, nervous, and digestive function when taken internally
Slim & Sassy Essential Oil
Aka the metabolic blend!
Help boost metabolism and manage hunger cravings when ingested and can be used as a part of a weight management plan when combined with exercise and healthy eating
All of these essential oils & supplements support your metabolism, increase energy, and
This isn't just a weight loss program, it's a whole-body system approach to health, vitality, and optimal body functions.
