Jodi Cohen is the author of the number one bestselling book ‘Healing with Essential Oils: How to Use Them to Enhance Sleep, Digestion and Detoxification while Reducing Stress and Inflammation‘. She is also the founder of Vibrant Blue Oils – products that Dr. Jockers heartily endorses. 

Jodi brings decades of experience of using essential oils to balance the underlying causes of various health concerns, including poor sleep, stress, compromised digestion, detoxification, gut inflammation, poor circulation, and blood sugar issues.

She is sharing specifically with Dr. Jockers today on vagal tone and resilience, as well as helping us to better understand our parasympathetic response state. If we are worried about something (a job, or a relationship, for example) our body doesn’t understand the difference between the anticipatory stress of that and, say, a lion approaching.

 

“The better your vagal tone, the easier it is to get out of “fight or flight” and back into a relaxed state and the more resilience you will have to adapt to the various stressors you face in life.”

-Jodi Cohen

Purality – Mushroom Mindboost

Our brains rely on SO many compounds found in nature. These include vitamins and minerals, but also things like polysaccharides, flavonoids, amino acids, carotenoids, folates, enzymes, and so, so much more. But how many of these are you actually getting?

Due to modern farming practices, environmental pollution, and the continued loss of nutrients in our foods, most people aren’t taking in nearly enough of what their brains need.

If you’re experiencing cognition problems like memory loss or brain fog, then chances are you too are missing out on a lot of these important compounds.

The good news? Medicinal mushrooms contain ALL of these compounds and more!

This is why our friends over at Purality Health have infused five of the most nutritious medicinal mushrooms with their MICELLE LIPOSOMAL formula to create Mushroom Mindboost.

Purality Health’s patented formula allows these rare, highly beneficial mushroom compounds to be safely shuttled directly into your bloodstream. The result is clearer thinking, improved memory retention, and feeling as spry as your young self again!
