Let's Talk... Heart Health Supps

Let's talk supps!! 
Keep one of your most vital organs running at peak efficiency! Whether you're looking to support current health, for options for more acute needs or simply wanting supplements to promote a healthy heart, these are some of the best items I    can recommend! You will see several that address blood sugar. In my practice, almost every time someone comes to me with high blood pressure, we can look to uncontrolled blood sugar & insulin resistance as one of main culprits. We can address with  diet, exercise and supplements.

Yes, there are several we can use but If I  were just starting to look at this area of my health, I  would simply start with the list of the YL supplements. This would be a VERY good jumpstart to addressing blood sugar and blood pressure. 

As we all know, your heart does a lot of work, so keep it happy and healthy with these products  from Young Living and those you can grab from our  professional dispensary  below! 

Young Living Supplements 
1. Green Omega 3 Softgels Item #44024
Say hello to this vegan omega-3 supplement that serves up essential fatty acids from algal oil (algae!) instead of fish oil to support your heart, brain, eyes, and immune system. A plant-based source of omega-3 has so many benefits over traditional fish-based sources – less impact on the marine ecosystem, reduced potential for marine contaminants, and a product without a fishy smell or aftertaste. All the good stuff, none of the bad!
