Lets start with the basics. What exactly are essential oils?Essential Oils are natural aromatic compounds found in plants. They are steam distilled or cold pressed in order to be extracted. They have powerful, safe benefits without any harmful side effects. Although Essential Oils may seem new and foreign to some, they have actually been used for hundreds of years!

Essential Oil PurityHas no artificial ingredients or fillersUses a third party for rigorous testing every liter of oil passes six tests before being sold Can be ingestedPlants used for oils are grown in their natural habitat, without chemicals.

An essential oil is only required to contain a minimum of 10% to be labeled as pure. doTERRA has set a higher standard with their Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils!Lets look at the overall safety of essential oils.Essential oils are safe and gentle. It is important to keep them out of eyes, ears, and nose as those are very sensitive areas of the body. Essential oils are very potent and can be diluted with vegetable oil. Each essential oil has label instructions for how the oil can be used. Pass around some oils and point out this out.

6HOW TO USE ESSENTIAL OILSDiffuse in a room to kill airborne pathogensOpens airwaysThe most effective method for mood elevation

How can we use essential oils? Essential oils can be used aromatically, topically, or internally. These may be new terms to some, so lets go through each one.

Aromatic by definition means having an aroma. Essential oils each have distinct powerful smells that can benefit our bodies. Pass lavender around the room and encourage each to smell the oil. Explain how lavender has a calming/relaxing effect. Then pass around a peppermint and encourage them to smell the oil. Explain how peppermint is very invigorating and promotes alertness.

Topically by definition means applied locally on the body. To apply essential oils topically, you apply the oil directly to the skin. You will find that Essential Oils are easily absorbed into the skin. Consider passing around Deep Blue or Breathe so that they can experience how the essential oils feel when applied topically. Perhaps explain where you like to rub your essential oils. (Breath- under nose, Deep Blue- sore muscles, On Guard- bottom of feet, etc.)

Internally is just as it sounds, consuming essential oils as a dietary supplement.

Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend

dTERRAs Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend is a proprietary blend of 100% pure therapeutic grade essential oils that are formulated to support healthy efforts to lose weight. The Slim & Sassy program is simple; just add several drops to water and drink before and after meals throughout the day. The essential oils in Slim & Sassy help you manage appetite and lift your mood while supporting healthy metabolism. The unique blend of pure essential oils makes a refreshing diet support beverage with zero calories, zero stimulants, and no artificial chemicals.

To better understand how Slim & Sassy supports healthy weight loss, lets first review the primary source of unwanted weightFAT.11



GrapefruitCinnamonPeppermintGingerLemondTERRAs Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend is formulated with a proprietary blend of therapeutic-grade essential oils of Grapefruit, Lemon, Peppermint, Ginger, and Cinnamon that help your body adjust to reduced caloric intake during dieting. Studies have shown both aromatic and internal benefits of using the oils in Slim & Sassy to manage appetite and calm stomach and gastrointestinal distress sometimes associated with dieting.

Just smelling grapefruit oil can help calm your appetite. Ginger and peppermint oils help calm the stomach and support gastrointestinal comfort and function. And lemon oil has been demonstrated to elevate mood which has been clinically associated with successful weight-loss efforts.

To slow down and stop our the storage of excess calories as fat in our bodies we need to consume less calories and increase physical activity. Slim & Sassy metabolic blend is an excellent physical and emotional support to your healthy efforts to reduce excess calories converted to fat by eating less and by helping you manage the discomforts of appetite during dieting.12Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend


Yet eating less can be very hard.

Food can be both physically and emotionally pleasurable. When we are hungry, our bodies send powerful signals through various physiological pathways to let us know it is time to eat. When we respond by eating, equally powerful signals reward us for responding to our bodies desires to eat. These signals are influenced over time by how much we eat, what we eat , and why we eat. The combination of these powerful signals to eat make up our appetite.

When we reduce the amount of calories our bodies are used to getting when we diet, our appetites are heightened and we experience physical and emotional discomfort. These discomforts are real and it requires self control to not respond to our bodies plea for more food. When appetites become too strong, we often give in and eat an abundance of high-calorie foods to satiate our bodies desire for readily available sources of energy. Furthermore, our bodies panic and store more calories as fat just in case we decide to starve ourselves again in the future.

Permanent and healthy weight loss will most likely result from a gradual decrease in the calories we consume and increasing the amount of calories we burn through regular physical activity. Managing the emotional and physical discomforts of a reduced calorie diet will also improve our chances of success.

Emotionally, whatever shift you want to create in your life about your health can be enhanced using this blend. It increases metabolic rates and makes people feel Good all over it literally eliminates the destination cells for fat so when you achieve your new weight you can resist the urge to replace the excess fat cells.




65%Failing to manage an appropriate balance between adipogenesis and lypolysis can result in the creation and subsequent storage of too many fat cells leading to a high body fat composition.

It is estimated that over 65% of the adult population in the United States is overweight or obese. Outside the United States the picture does not get much better as more than half of all adults in developed nations are also estimated to be overweight. Sadly, about 15% of all children in the developed world are overweight and this number is expected to increase significantly in the near future.

Obesity is a global health epidemic associated with a dramatic rise in diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and cancer. 16



=CushioningInsulationEnergy StorageWhat is the function of fat?

Clusters of fat cells make up adipose tissue or body fat. Fat has several important functions in the body. First, fat provides protection or padding for vital organs and structures acting as a shock absorber in the body when we experience the physical impacts of life such as walking, running, sitting, and falling. High amounts of adipose tissue is stored beneath the skin around the stomach, hips, and buttocks providing protection for vital organs. 17Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend


I eat too muchI exercise too littleI am under too much stressI am under toxic loadI have an abnormal health issueWhy do I have too much fat?The main contributing factors that contribute to a high body fat percentage leading to obesity can be summarized in four areas:

Eating more calories than necessary to sustain healthy life functionLack of physical activity to burn free and stored energyToo much stress and not enough rest (sleep not lounging)Toxic stressors that promote fat storage18Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend


dTERRAs Wellness Lifestyle pyramid promotes the antithesis of these contributing factors. Good health, and a healthy body mass, begins with eating right which includes eating food in the right quantity AND of the right quality, exercising, managing stress and getting appropriate rest, and reducing our toxic load.

dTERRAs Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend along with the Lifelong Wellness Supplements and healthy lifestyle choices can help you manage a healthy body fat percentage while increasing energy and vitality. 19



What is body fat?Adipose Cellslipid dropletBody fat cells, also known as adipose cells or adipocytes, are specialized cells that contain a large droplet of lipid or fat, so large in fact it squeezes the nucleus and other cell structures to the side of the cell. The number and size of fat cells varies from one body structure to another, and from one person to another. 20



GlucoseGlycogenBody ProteinBody FatEnergyCarbsFatsProteinsGlucoseexcessexcessYour bodys preferred sources of calories for energy production are carbohydrates and fats. Carbohydrates and fats can be quickly metabolized during digestion and used as an immediate source of fuel for cellular energy. Carbohydrates are converted to glucose, or blood sugar, and provide a burst of energy after eating. Carbohydrates can also be stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles and is also used in energy production. Excess calories from carbohydrates that are not used up as glucose or stored as glycogen are stored as FAT.

Dietary fat is also an excellent and preferred source of readily-available energy in your body. But as with unused carbohydrates, unused dietary fats are also stored in fat cells for later use.

When glucose, glycogen, and fats are not available for energy production, proteins may also be converted to glucose, but proteins are primarily used as building material for cell and tissue growth and repair. However, your body has a limited capacity to utilize protein and excess protein is also converted to FAT.

You can see from this illustration that your body is very proficient at storing unused calories you eat as fat.

(Note: The amount of stored energy, measured as kcals, in 154-lb adult male is 80 kcals as glucose, 1740 kcals as glycogen, and 94,500 kcals as fat, or in other words, 98% of your bodys stored energy is stored as fat!)21



Fat Cell LifecycleStem CellsFat CellsFatty AcidsADIPOGENESISLIPOLYSISFat cells are formed by converting tissue stem cells in to adipocytes that swell up like balloons with dietary lipids. When other forms of dietary nutrients used to produce energy in the body are scarce, fat cells deflate by releasing their lipids into the blood stream. Fat cells do not die when they release their fatty contents and can re-inflate as unused calories are converted to fat.

The process of creating new fat cells is called ADIPOGENESIS. The release of stored lipids from fat cells to be used for energy is called LIPOLYSIS. Managing a healthy body fat percentage includes reducing adipogenesis so fewer fat cells are formed, and increasing lipolysis so more of our stored fat is used for energy.22Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend


DECREASE ADIPOGENESIS(FEWER NEW FAT CELLS)INCREASE LIPOLYSIS(DEFLATES FAT CELLS)If we can decrease the production of new fat cells through adipogenesis and increase the use or metabolism of stored fat in existing fat cells through lipolysis we will experience a net decrease in total body fat composition over time. The converse is also true; if we have a high production of new fat cells and do not metabolize existing stores of fat we will experience a net increase in total body fat cellswe will get fat.23



GlycogenInsulinGlucose (blood sugar)+Body FatCarbsAnother significant factor in the healthy metabolism of food nutrients in cells for energy production and fat storage is insulin. Insulin is hormone produced in the pancreas and is essential in the conversion of glucose in the blood to glycogen stored in the muscles and liver.

When we eat carbohydrates, blood glucose levels rise triggering the release of insulin into the blood stream. The released insulin promotes the conversion of excess glucose in the blood stream to glycogen. At the same time, insulin promotes the formation of new fat and discourages breakdown of existing fat used for energy metabolism.

For healthy people, insulin is always present in the blood stream and the production of insulin in response to the consumption of carbohydrates is a normal and healthy function. When our bodies produce too much or too little insulin, it can lead to problems with glucose and fat metabolism. The inability for someone to produce insulin in the body is called Type I diabetes, while the chronic over-production of insulin resulting in low blood sugar causes hypoglycemia.24



Toxins

Body Fat

Liver

Toxins are either soluble in water or in fat. Water-soluble toxins in our body are eliminated through sweating or through the kidneys.

Fat-soluble toxins are not as easily disposed of and must be handled differently by the body. As a protection mechanism, the body isolates toxins in the fat cells of the liver and adipose tissues in an attempt to insulate or shield the body from toxic exposure.

When we start down the path of weight loss through healthy lifestyle choices resulting in higher amounts of fat being metabolized for energy through lipolysis, toxins stored in fat can be released back into the bloodstream. Sometimes people who lose a lot of weight quickly will report feeling physically sick or emotionally out of balance as these toxins are released into their systems. If not properly managed and disposed of, these toxins can re-enter the liver and be re-isolated in fat frustrating previous weight-loss success.

An important part of healthy fat metabolism and toxin management in the body is proper hydration.

Some diet programs employ diuretics that cause the body to eliminate water and dehydrate resulting in temporary weight loss but do nothing to change body fat composition. Not providing your body with proper hydration also slows down healthy metabolism of food nutrients and fat, and can also slow down your bodys healthy elimination of toxins.

Using dTERRAs Slim & Sassy Metobolic Blend in water frequently throughout the day as directed supports healthy hydration and your bodys healthy elimination of toxins that might slow down your weight-loss efforts. The essential oils in Slim & Sassy are lipophilic in structure meaning they dissolve in, and can dissolve, fat-soluble compounds.

(Demonstration: Drop a several drops of dTERRA Lemon essential oil in the bottom of a polystyrene foam cup and wait for five minutes. Polystyrene foam cups are aromatic polymers made from petroleum products. Citrus essential oils have an affinity to bind with and dissolve fat-soluble petroleum-based compounds.)
