Can we talk about Berberine for a second?

It is not a weight loss magic pill. So please do not compare your health journey to those who have lost weight on the product.

If weight loss is your goal, talk to me about the R3 in combination with the Berberine along with GC Control. 💚

Now here are the benefits of Berberine and why it’s amazing for your health!

Lowering Cholesterol: Taking Berberine regularly appears to lower total cholesterol, “bad” cholesterol, and triglycerides in people with high cholesterol. It works differently from today’s standard cholesterol medications, so it may help treat people who are resistant to other cholesterol-lowering drugs.

Heart Health: People with heart disease often have fatigue and irregular heartbeats. Studies show that taking Berberine combined with standard heart disease treatments reduces these symptoms. Berberine reduced the risk of death from heart disease without apparent side effects.

Blood Sugar Control: Berberine has also been shown to lower glucose levels in people with diabetes. Studies show that it helps your body respond better to insulin and prevents your liver from creating more glucose. As a result, people with diabetes may find berberine helps lower their blood sugar levels.

Lowering Blood Pressure: High blood pressure is associated with heart disease and strokes. Taking Berberine may help lower your diastolic and systolic blood pressure (the bottom and top numbers of your blood pressure reading).

PCOS Symptom Relief: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS, can cause problems such as high cholesterol, insulin resistance, and trouble losing weight. In some studies, Berberine helped women with PCOS control their cholesterol, lower their waist-to-hip ratio, and increase their response to insulin.

Weight Loss (how it actually works): While Berberine is not a magic weight-loss pill, it may help people with a body mass index (BMI) over 30 lose weight. Two studies have shown that taking Berberine over the course of three months results in significant weight loss. This may be due to how berberine helps control insulin and other hormones that regulate your fat cells.

Hope this helps. 💚

Having trouble losing those extra 5-10 lbs?

Maybe it’s your blood sugars.

Blood glucose levels and weight management are strongly connected. Constantly elevated glucose levels prompt excess insulin production. As a result, more glucose is stored as fat, and excess fat—especially belly fat—is one major cause of insulin resistance. 

Recent studies hint that up to 88% of all US adults may have some level of insulin resistance, and it can commonly be found in those who are overweight or obese. Maintaining healthy insulin levels allows your body to utilize fat as energy for healthy weight management. A healthy weight supports glucose control and overall metabolic health.

There are natural supplements you can take to help balance your blood sugars:

  • Berberine (a natural compound derived from plants that supports healthy glucose metabolism
  • Milk Thistle (The liver is the primary site for glucose metabolism and milk thistle supports healthy liver cells
  • Chromium (a mineral that facilitates the movement of glucose from the bloodstream to the cells)

There are lots of berberine products on the market. If you need help navigating, let me know. I’m glad to help teach you what to look for.

12 Best Plants and Herbs to Naturally Repel Mosquitoes

Here is a handy lis of some plants and herbs known for their mosquito-repelling properties:

Lavender (Lavandula spp.): Lavender not only has a pleasant fragrance but also repels mosquitoes. Plant it in sunny areas and enjoy its aromatic blooms.

Citronella (Cymbopogon spp.): Citronella is a well-known mosquito repellent. You can find citronella-scented candles, but growing citronella grass in your garden can be even more effective.

Peppermint (Mentha × piperita): Peppermint’s strong scent repels mosquitoes. It’s also a versatile herb for culinary and medicinal uses.

Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis): Lemon balm has a citrusy scent that mosquitoes dislike. It’s also a great herb for teas and culinary uses.

Marigold (Tagetes spp.): Marigolds contain pyrethrum, a compound often used in insect repellents. Their vibrant colors can add beauty to your garden while keeping mosquitoes away.

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis): Rosemary’s aromatic fragrance can deter mosquitoes. It’s a hardy herb that can be grown in a variety of climates.

Basil (Ocimum spp.): Basil emits a strong aroma that mosquitoes dislike. Plus, you can use it in cooking!

Catnip (Nepeta cataria):Catnip contains a compound called nepetalactone that repels mosquitoes. Be aware that if you have cats, they might be attracted to this plant.

Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum spp.): Chrysanthemums contain pyrethrin, a natural insect repellent often used in mosquito sprays. Their flowers come in various colors and sizes.

Lemon Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus citriodora): The essential oil from lemon eucalyptus has been found to be effective in repelling mosquitoes. You can grow the plant or use the essential oil.

Garlic (Allium sativum): While it’s typically consumed as a food, the scent of garlic can also help deter mosquitoes. Planting garlic around your garden can be beneficial.

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus): Lemongrass has a lemony scent that mosquitoes dislike. It’s often used in Asian cuisine and can be grown as an ornamental plant.

Keep in mind that while these plants can help reduce mosquito populations, they might not offer complete protection. Combining these natural repellents with other mosquito control methods, like removing standing water, using screens, and wearing protective clothing, can help create a more effective defense against mosquitoes.

Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes pain, fatigue, and tender points around the body. It can cause sleep, memory, and mood issues. It can be hard to diagnose and treat because it has symptoms that are very similar to other conditions.

  • Genetics. Certain gene mutations can put people at a greater risk for this condition.
  • Infections. Certain illnesses seem to trigger or worsen fibromyalgia. Viral infections like Epstein-Barr or infections like Lyme Disease can lead to it.
  • Stressful Physical or Emotional Events. Serious injuries, giving birth, the breakdown of a relationship, emotional trauma are just a few of the life events that can trigger fibromyalgia.

  • Magnesium with Vitamin B6
  • Vitamin D (5000 IU/daily)
