DIY Ant Killer + Hot Flash Remedies + Aromatherapy 101 + Marinated Feta

Dr. Z & Mama Z — Mon, 11 May 2026 15:02:42 GMT

Hi friends,

Late spring has a way of bringing everything at once: ants in the garden & in our kitchen (#truestory, happening now), busy kitchens, warmer nights, hormone symptoms, and families trying to eat well without making life harder. Today’s DIY Tips are about lowering the burden where you can, from non-toxic pest control to safer essential oil use, hot flash triggers, and simple make-ahead food. Around our house, we want the natural choice to be practical enough for real life, not just pretty on paper. When you reduce chemical exposure, use plant remedies wisely, and choose food that digests well, the body has less to fight every day. That is why today’s spotlight looks at digestive enzymes and the simple pre-meal step that can make a real difference for gas, bloating, and nutrient breakdown.

Just for NLF Readers: Buy 1 Get 2 Organixx Enzymes to STOP suffering from digestive issues like Heartburn, Acid Reflux, Constipation, Gas, and Bloating, and…

Spotlight: 10-second pre-meal ritual ENDS digestion problems

If you have stomach issues that don’t go away or think you have nutritional deficiencies, here’s something you need to know because...

Most people have heard of enzymes, but they really don’t know what they are and why they are important.

Enzymes are specialized proteins that act as biological catalysts, speeding up chemical reactions in the body such as breaking down food into nutrients your body needs to be healthy. In today’s food culture, enzymes are increasingly important because modern, processed, and overly-cooked diets often lack the natural enzymes required for efficient digestion, leading to symptoms like bloating and nutrient absorption issues.

Your body produces enzymes on its own, but enzyme production begins to drop as you age.

Less enzymes = poor digestion.

And it means more gas and bloating.

Because undigested food sits in your gut longer… fermenting and producing foul-smelling gas… waiting for some more enzymes to come along and finish the job. In extreme cases, low enzyme levels can lead to things like heartburn and even leaky gut as undigested food particles pass through the gut lining into the bloodstream.

That’s why supplementing with digestive enzymes can help to:

Support healthy digestion
Reduce gas and bloating
And support energy levels

The thing is, most enzyme supplements are incomplete…

For example, most enzymes, especially the cheap ones, only have basic enzymes for breaking down carbs and fats.

Others might only have proteolytic enzymes for breaking down protein, but no enzymes for fats or carbs.

You see the problem here, right?

Obviously, if you want improved digestion, you need a full-spectrum enzyme supplement that helps you digest ALL THREE macros in your diet: PROTEIN, FAT, and CARBS.

That’s exactly what you’ll get in Organixx’s premium full-spectrum enzyme supplement called Enzyme17 - (Get your free bottles here).

This specialized, organic formulation works because it contains 17 powerful enzymes for breaking down food quickly so your body can convert it into usable nutrients and energy.

4 enzymes that target and digest protein
13 enzymes that break down fat and carbs

Even better, these are special cultured enzymes, which makes them 100 to 1000 times MORE powerful than a food enzyme (like you might find in a papaya or pineapple).

Now here’s GOOD NEWS: Organixx is offering you 2 FREE bottles of Enzyme17 at this special link.

Why are they doing this?

Because they know that once you experience improved digestion (and less gas and bloating) you’ll want to keep taking Enzyme17 as long as you can.

So do not tap on THIS LINK unless you’re ready for better digestion and you’d like 2 free bottles of Enzyme17 as part of their special introductory offer. :)

Need A Dose Of Truth?

Here is the research that should stop every Christian reader in their tracks...

Reading your Bible one to three days per week showed no statistically significant difference from not engaging the Bible at all, which means three light brushes with Scripture across a busy week looked, in the data, the same as zero.

That sentence is hard for most of us to absorb, because it cuts directly across the cultural Christian assumption that “any” Bible reading is enough.

Clary Sage Oil + DIY Cologne + Homemade Herb Butter for a Special Meal

Dr. Z & Mama Z — Sun, 10 May 2026 17:58:45 GMT

Hi friends,

Happy Mother’s Day's to you and to all of the women who have filled that role in your life. Today, many moms are carrying a full heart, a full calendar, and a home full of people who need them. This week’s DIY Tips are a practical way to honor that kind of faithful love with cleaner fragrance, wise essential oil use, a Proverbs 31 reminder, and a simple recipe that makes the table feel special. In our home, we believe the small things matter because they shape the atmosphere of the family. Reducing synthetic fragrance, choosing real food, and speaking blessing over mothers are all part of stewarding health with discernment. And in the spotlight, we are looking at creatine, collagen, and how to avoid getting fooled by the anti-aging market.

Exclusive Just for NLF Readers: Extra 10% Off Already Discounted Organixx Collagen! (use code “Z10”)

What sets this collagen apart is its clean sourcing—free from antibiotics, GMOs, and toxins. Plus, it includes powerful superfoods like Camu Camu and Acerola Cherry to maximize absorption and benefits.

From the Blog:

DIY Perfume Without Fragrance Toxins - It’s time to ditch artificial fragrances and embrace essential oils. Store-bought perfumes look fancy, but behind the beautiful packaging are synthetic fragrances and undisclosed chemicals that can wreak havoc on your hormones, skin, and nervous system. From migraines and allergic reactions to potential cancer risks, you can easily avoid these risks by making your own. :)
Clary Sage Oil for Ultimate Women’s Health - It’s time to naturally beat hormone issues, stress, monthly discomfort, menopause changes, or emotional fatigue are wearing you down, this guide explains clary sage with real research. Learn about linalool, linalyl acetate, sclareol, inflammation, cortisol, blood pressure, and the estrogen myth.
A Proverbs 31 Salute for Mother’s Day - If Mother’s Day feels tender, joyful, exhausting, or all three, this devotional brings you back to what matters. Read a Proverbs 31 salute for mothers, grandmothers, foster and adoptive moms, caretakers, and every woman who nurtures with faithful love.
Homemade Herb Butter for a Special Meal - Want to make Mother’s Day dinner feel beautiful without extra stress? This homemade herb butter takes 5 minutes with grass-fed organic butter, fresh basil or dill, and optional food-safe essential oils, then turns vegetables, fish, eggs, potatoes, and gluten-free rolls into something memorable.

These DIY Tips are too good not to share. ;)

Spotlight: But Isn’t Creatine the New Must-Have Supplement for Women Over 40?

If you are a woman over 40, you have probably seen the message everywhere lately: creatine is the new “must-have” supplement for perimenopause, menopause, muscle tone, bone strength, brain fog, metabolism, and healthy aging.

And to be fair, the conversation is not coming out of nowhere.

Women do lose muscle more easily with age. Hormonal shifts can affect energy, recovery, mood, sleep, body composition, and bone density. Strength training becomes more important, not less important, as women move through midlife. Creatine is also being discussed in the research for strength, exercise performance, cognition, fatigue, and women’s health across the lifespan.

So the issue is not whether women over 40 should care about muscle, strength, aging, or brain health.

They absolutely should.

The issue is whether the answer needs to be a daily scoop of synthetic creatine monohydrate made from industrial chemical inputs, especially when women may be encouraged to take it for years or decades. As we explained earlier, commercial creatine is not extracted from steak, salmon, or real food. It is manufactured in a lab, most commonly by reacting cyanamide with sodium sarcosinate, and those raw materials trace back to industrial petrochemical pathways.

That is where discernment matters.

A 45-year-old mom who is exhausted, under-muscled, under-slept, stressed, inflamed, eating too little protein, and barely lifting weights does not first need another powder. She needs to rebuild the foundation God designed her body to run on.

That means:

* Protein from real food

* Strength training that builds muscle and bone

* Better sleep

* Mineral-rich hydration

* Blood sugar stability

* Sunlight and movement

* Less synthetic fragrance, plastic exposure, and daily toxin load

* Prayer, peace, and nervous system regulation

Creatine may give some people a measurable bump in performance, especially when baseline creatine stores are low. But even mainstream sources now admit it is not a magic bullet for aging, menopause, memory, or fitness, and that benefits depend on personal physiology, baseline creatine levels, dosage, absorption, training, and nutrition.

That is why we are not impressed by the social media claim that “every woman over 40 needs creatine.”

No, every woman over 40 needs wisdom.

If you are not eating enough protein, not lifting weights, not sleeping, not walking, not addressing stress, and not reducing inflammatory inputs, creatine is not going to fix the foundation. And if you do choose to use it, at minimum you should understand what it is, how it is made, what we know, what we do not know, and why there are no decades-long human studies proving the safety of daily synthetic creatine use across midlife and aging.

We recently wrote an article to explain why.

Collagen, on the other hand...

When it’s extracted from NATURAL sources, is wonderfully healing and super beneficial.

Because it helps...

Improve Skin Elasticity – Say hello to youthful, glowing skin!
Support Joint Health – Move with ease and feel great!
Promote Strong Hair & Nails – Enjoy the benefits of fuller, healthier hair and stronger nails.

But be careful...

If you are interesting in navigating the anti-aging market...

An enormous rip-off is happening right under your nose.

It’s not what you think.

Because collagen is such an amazing protein which we need more of to keep our skin taut and firm as we age, it’s no surprise that collagen is a multi-billion-dollar market.

And, in their obsession to squeeze out every dollar, greedy manufacturers have taken an unsuspecting public for a ride with cheap collagen powders.

Truth is most of the stuff on the market is a bi-product of non-organic, GMO-ridden animal farming. It’s literally GARBAGE.

For collagen that revitalizes skin and reverses wrinkles, it needs FIVE crucial elements...

All FIVE types of collagen the body needs
To come from FOUR vitally different sources
Whole-food Vitamin C, Silica & Zinc for full absorption
No clumps, smell, or unpleasant taste (so you actually take it)
Clean-sourced and no GMOs for maximum purity

And the hidden truth is that 99% of collagen powders have only 1 or 2 of these!

But there is a way to outsmart the big supplement companies, avoid useless collagen, and regain that youthful glow to your skin (without plastic surgery or chemicals).

From our crew to yours...

Mother’s Day is not the same day for every woman.

For some, it’s a day of joy. For others, it’s the day they remember the mother they buried. For others still, it’s the day they grieve the mother they had on paper but never really had at all.

If you’re carrying any of that today, we want you to know we see it.

The Father sees it more.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3

If your mother didn’t show up, He still does. If your mother is gone, He still is. If you’re a mother yourself who lost a child, who never got to be one, who’s estranged from the children you raised, He has not forgotten the hidden grief you carry today.

He is the God who sees. He always has been. He always will be.

Happy Mother’s Day. :

As always, our hope & prayer is that YOU experience the abundant life.

Need A Dose Of Truth?

If a researcher told you there was one habit, anchored in real data from more than 100,000 Christians across 21 countries, that predicted spiritual transformation more reliably than any other single practice in the Christian life, would you want to know what it was, and would you actually do it?

Most of us nod yes to the first half of that sentence and stop there. We collect the wisdom and never close the loop. We read the verse, we underline the principle, we go back to the same scrolling, the same snacking, the same low-grade stress that has been wearing us down for months, and we wonder why nothing in our health is moving.

What follows is the part of Scripture engagement most Christians have never had spelled out for them in numbers, and what we have personally watched it do inside our family of nine for over twenty years.

Dr. Z & Mama Z — Sat, 09 May 2026 11:30:00 GMT

Hi friends,

Moms know this better than anyone... Spring can bring a strange mix of brain fog, stuffy breathing, emotional heaviness, and busy family meals that still need to get on the table. That's why today is all about helping you think through the daily burdens families often overlook: scattered focus, respiratory irritation, unresolved stress, and ingredients that either nourish or drag you down. We are big believers that natural living works best when it is practical enough for real homes, not just perfect schedules. Today's DIY Tips give you usable steps, from essential oil blends to emotional detox rhythms to an tasty, sweet side dish for Mother's Day Brunch without the guilt. And in the spotlight, we are tackling creatine, collagen, and how to avoid getting fooled by the anti-aging market...

Exclusive Just for NLF Readers: Extra 10% Off Already Discounted Organixx Collagen! (use code “Z10”)

What sets this collagen apart is its clean sourcing—free from antibiotics, GMOs, and toxins. Plus, it includes powerful superfoods like Camu Camu and Acerola Cherry to maximize absorption and benefits.

From the Blog:

DIY Focus Roll-On for ADHD & Brain Fog Days - When your mind feels scattered and everyone still needs you to function, this DIY roll-on gives you a practical aromatic tool. Mama Z’s blend uses neroli, rose geranium, bergamot, chamomile, vetiver, sweet orange, and carrier oil for pulse points.

Emotional Detox When Stress Gets Heavy - When anger, hurt, regret, or grief keeps showing up in your body and your home, this article gives you a grounded path forward. Learn why emotional pain matters, how stress affects the body, and when prayer, boundaries, tears, oils, and counseling belong in the process.

Mama Z’s one-bowl soufflé uses butternut squash, coconut milk, pasture-raised eggs, maple syrup or stevia, almonds, and warming essential oils like cinnamon, ginger, clove, and nutmeg.

These DIY Tips are too good not to share. ;)

Spotlight: Creatine & Collagen are two of the hottest health trend, which is better?

In our opinion, creatine is a total waste of money — it’s 100% synthetic, made from petrochemicals and we feel that influencers and health experts are blowing it way out of proportion. We recently wrote an article to explain why.

Collagen, on the other hand...

When it’s extracted from NATURAL sources, is wonderfully healing and super beneficial.

Healing Oregano Oil + DIY Lotion Bar + Body Care Chemicals Linked to Heart Risks

Dr. Z & Mama Z — Fri, 08 May 2026 21:12:37 GMT

Hi friends,

Daily choices can tame the flame of inflammation or douse it: what we put on our skin, how we use potent plant remedies, what we serve for breakfast, and what we reach for when pain, sleep, or anxiety gets loud. At our house, that means reading labels, making body care when we can, and keeping protein-rich meals ready for busy mornings. When we lower the chemical burden and choose ingredients wisely, the body has fewer fires to fight. That same discernment is why our CBD spotlight tackles the real reason some people say it does nothing.

CBD BOGO: Save Big on Prosper Wellness “Dose Load” Pure CBD (Natural Living Family Exclusive Savings)

This ‘Sacred Plant’ Has Been Used For At Least 4,755 Years To Relieve Everything from Pain to Bad Moods to Healing the Gut.

From the Blog:

DIY Lotion Bars for Dry, Overworked Hands - Dry hands, cracked elbows, and rough skin do not need a toxin-filled lotion. Mama Z’s DIY bar uses beeswax, kokum, shea and mango butters, carrier oils, and essential oil blends so your family can moisturize without synthetic fragrance or antibacterial chemicals.
Healing Oregano Oil Uses Without the Guesswork - It’s called nature’s antibiotic for a reason. Learn why carvacrol and thymol matter, how research discusses bacteria, viruses, fungi, inflammation, and gut health, and how to use it the right way.
Body Care Chemicals Linked to Heart Risks - Your lotion, shampoo, deodorant, sunscreen, and makeup may carry more than fragrance. This article names phenols, parabens, PFAS, phthalates, BPA, triclosan, and formaldehyde releasers tied in research to blood pressure, inflammation, stroke, and heart disease.
Homemade Vegetable Omelet for Busy Mornings - If busy mornings lead to coffee and bites off the kids’ plates, this homemade omelet gives you a fast reset. Use pasture-raised eggs, almond or coconut milk, greens, dairy-free cheese, herbs, and optional basil, dill, or oregano essential oil, then save half for another day.

These DIY Tips are too good not to share. ;)

Spotlight: "CBD Doesn't Work"

Pain. Sleep. Anxiety. Systemic Inflammation.

And millions of people use CBD for these issues (and more) every single day.

You’ve heard us discuss it before, and it’s worth repeating...

And here’s a story to illustrate...

“CBD doesn’t work!”

That’s what a close friend told us when we were telling her about the so-called medical miracles that we were seeing in our Natural Living Family thanks to CBD.

There was a woman in Indiana who literally could not walk before she tried CBD. Now she plays golf every week, and doesn’t use a cart.

Another man in Nebraska couldn’t use his hands thanks to crippling pain, and is now back in his shop doing woodworking 6 hours a day.

The list goes on and on.

So why was our friend so negative about it?

Turns out she tried it, and it did nothing for her. She said she might as well have been taking sugar pills.

So, we dug in and did some extensive research, and was stunned at what we found.

--> It turns out CBD really doesn’t work for some people, but it’s almost always because those people don’t do this one simple little thing…

Back at the gardens for date night...

Sometimes the best memories are not the big, fancy, perfectly planned moments. They are the simple ones. A walk outside. Fresh air. Holding hands. Laughing about life. Remembering how blessed you are to have someone beside you through every season.

Whether with your spouse, a friend, one of your kids, or family members, make time for the people God has placed in your life.

Those little moments of connection matter more than we realize.

Life is better together...

Need A Dose Of Truth?

The real problem is not that Christians do not have enough health information. The real problem is that many of us have lost the Biblical framework for how to test it, sort it, and walk it out faithfully.

Unless we submit every trend, every expert, every study, every supplement, every diet, and every “natural” solution to the Lord, it will never make sense for our life, our body, our family, or our season.

We do not need another trend. We need a compass, and for us, that compass was born out of desperation.

Dr. Z & Mama Z — Thu, 07 May 2026 21:00:25 GMT

Hi friends,

With Mother’s Day around the corner, many moms are pouring themselves out for everyone else while running on stress, scattered thoughts, and quick drinks that drain instead of restore.

The bigger principle is lowering the daily burden on the body so inflammation, cravings, fatigue, and anxious thinking are not constantly being fed. These are not complicated habits, but they do require discernment and consistency. For more Biblical clarity like this, please don't pass up this Bible Health Substack invite...

Spotlight: For the moms (the ones who give all year)

Mother’s Day is this Sunday, and we wrote you because most Mother’s Day gifts go straight to the kitchen counter, get a polite thank you, and then sit there until they migrate to a closet.

We want to put a different kind of gift on the table this year - something that will serve you, encourage you and give you the faith-filled tools you need to be healthy and strong.

The kind that hands a mom her energy back, gives her better sleep, and provides a reliable answer when one of the kids breaks out in something weird at 9 PM on a Tuesday. The kind that comes with a non-toxic swap she can find at the grocery store on Wednesday, and a home that gets quieter because the body is finally working.

That is what Bible Health is and we invite you join our new community on Substack for a special Mother’s Day Sale.

It is the mentorship we started two months ago with nearly 2,000 members already. Weekly long deep dive teaching + monthly livestream mentorship classes + private chats & prayer & fellowship + the Bible Health Vault for a living library of recipes, remedies, and DIY swaps we use in our own home with seven kids.

What’s Substack? Imagine a Garden of Eden for content creators: social media, private chat, livestream, and podcasts all in one room, without trolls, without ads, without algorithms gaming your feed. It’s what social media was supposed to be before big business corrupted it. Yes, it’s THAT nice of a place and we’re barely on Instagram or Facebook anymore.

This is your chance to lock in 20% off your Bible Health mentorship for as long as you stay a member.

If you are a mom reading this, hear us: this is the rare gift you can give yourself that pays your whole family back. The kids notice when Mom feels better. The marriage notices. The whole house notices.

Need A Dose Of Truth?

You’ve been praying about your health for years. You’ve tried the supplements, the cleanses, the trending protocols. You’ve followed the influencers, bought the books, watched the documentaries. And you’re still exhausted by dinner. Still foggy by 2 PM. Still wondering why nothing actually sticks.

Can you relate?

If you’re reading this and nodding, we want you to know something: the problem was never your discipline. It was never your faith. And it was never your body giving up on you. The problem is that nobody ever gave you a Biblical approach to health that actually works in real life, on a real budget, with real kids and real responsibilities.

That’s exactly why we built Bible Health. And we’re so glad you found us.

DIY Hand Soap + Sore Throat Hack + Essential Oils for Your Gums & Bad Breath

Dr. Z & Mama Z — Wed, 06 May 2026 14:45:01 GMT

Hi friends,

Our son Elijah just broke his arm during a dodgeball tournament, and while at Children's Urgent Care, the nurse told us they’ve been seeing more people than ever come in with runny noses, congestion, sore throats, and symptoms that turned out to be brutal seasonal allergies. In today’s DIY Tips, we’re making this personal because confidence matters when pollen is high and every sniffle can make a parent wonder what to do next. Clean hand soap, wiser oral care, oil pulling, and homemade granola all fit the bigger goal of lowering the controllable inflammatory triggers in our home. Plus, we’re spotlighting NasoChill because we’d rather be prepared with targeted natural tools than run to urgent care for every drip, sneeze, and scratchy throat.

Allergy Season Sale: 50% Off Naso Chill Instant Herbal Allergy Relief that has been a life-saver this spring...

Remarkable breakthrough formula can stop the sniffling, sneezing, drips and itching BEFORE they even start because...

From the Blog:

DIY Non-Toxic Hand Soap for Germy Spring Days - When everyone is coughing, sneezing, and touching every surface, hand soap matters. This DIY uses Castile soap, vitamin E, carrier oil, and essential oils so your family can wash often without synthetic fragrance, formaldehyde, or glycol ethers.
Essential Oils for Gums and Bad Breath - A scratchy throat often starts with what’s happening in the mouth. Learn how clove, peppermint, tea tree, lavender, and frankincense are used in oral care for gum bacteria, bad breath, sensitive teeth, canker sores, and DIY mouthwash.
Oil Pulling for Throat and Mouth Irritation - When post-nasal drip leaves your mouth dry and your throat irritated, oil pulling is a simple morning habit to learn. This guide shows how to swish coconut or sesame oil, when to add clove, orange, lemon, or peppermint, and what not to do.
Homemade Granola Without the Sugar Crash - Sugary cereal can add fuel to an already inflamed season. Mama Z’s make-ahead granola uses gluten-free sprouted oats, coconut oil or grass-fed butter, raw honey, maple syrup, sea salt, vanilla, chia, nuts, coconut, or dried fruit.

These DIY Tips are too good not to share. ;)

Spotlight: Our Herbal Solution for this Scratchy Throat Allergy Season

“Stop Chasing Allergy Symptoms. Hit the Cascade First.”

If your throat feels raw this spring, don’t just blame your throat.

Blame the drip.
Blame the mucus.
Blame the swollen sinus pressure.
Blame the immune cascade that starts when pollen, dust, dander, or mold hits your eyes, nose, throat, and airways.

Most people wait until the sneezing, coughing, itching, congestion, and throat irritation are already in full swing. Then they reach for something that dries them out, knocks them down, or only blocks the histamine reaction after the misery has already started.

That’s the problem.

Histamines are not the beginning of the allergy response. They are part of what happens after the body has already sounded the alarm.

Before the sneezing, dripping, coughing, and throat irritation take over, your body is already responding to pollen, dust, dander, and other triggers through a chain reaction involving IgE, cytokines, mast cells, inflammation, and mucus.

That is why sore throats are so common during allergy season. The throat is downstream from the drip.

The sinuses swell.
The mucus thickens.
The drainage keeps coming.
The throat gets raw.
The cough kicks in.

And suddenly, what started as “just pollen” feels like the whole family is run down.

This is exactly why we’re taking NasoChill every day.

It is not a typical dry-you-out allergy product.

It is a scoop-and-sip formula built to go after the seasonal response earlier in the process, before the drainage, congestion, sneezing, and scratchy throat steal the day.

Each serving brings together targeted ingredients with a clear purpose:

Quail egg extract helps the body respond differently to environmental triggers like pollen, dust, and dander.
Quercetin helps calm histamine activity and inflammatory signaling.
Stinging nettle helps with sneezing, nasal congestion, and that overreactive seasonal response.
Bromelain helps thin mucus and ease sinus swelling, which matters when drainage is what keeps irritating the throat.

That is the strategy.

Do not just chase the drip.
Do not just dry out the nose.
Do not just wait until everyone is miserable.

Get ahead of the cascade.

Here in Atlanta, this spring has been brutal. We barely had a winter, pollen counts have stayed high, and families are dealing with congestion, sore throats, coughing, itchy eyes, and exhaustion day after day.

When the outside world is this inflamed, we focus on the triggers we can control inside our home.

Cleaner food.
Cleaner products.
Less toxic burden.
Better daily habits.
And targeted natural tools that make sense for the season we are in.

Mama Z has been adding NasoChill to the kids’ morning smoothies because it fits real life.

One scoop, that’s all.

Pollen season is not letting up.

The sore throats are not random. The drainage is not harmless when it keeps your throat raw, your sleep broken, and your family feeling run down.

So this year, we are not waiting for the allergy cascade to take over.

We are meeting it head on.

Mix one tablespoon of THIS into our morning routine (smoothie, juice or shake) is something we just added in this winter.

It’s called NasoChill, and we’ll tell you firsthand...

This herbal remedy has been game-changer!

Still shocked that Children’s Urgent Care of Atlanta makes you ‘mask up.” Looks like it’s a permanent mandate in our area. Another topic for another day...

Elijah’s urgent care trip was for a broken arm from dodgeball, not allergies. But the nurse in triage told us something that stuck with us: they’re seeing more families than ever come in for runny noses, congestion, and sniffles, only to be told it’s seasonal allergies and sent home with an over-the-counter recommendation and a big bill.

We’re not judging anyone. We’ve been scared parents too, and we thank God for doctors, nurses, and urgent care when we truly need them. But abundant life also means learning how to steward our health with wisdom, peace, and discernment instead of running in fear over every sniffle. Know the warning signs, seek medical care when it’s needed, and ask God for wisdom to know the difference.

Need A Dose Of Truth?

Before someone experienced chronic fatigue, they had often accepted exhaustion as normal. Before brain fog became a daily frustration, they had already stopped expecting clarity. Before weight gain became discouraging, they had already assumed their metabolism was broken or that change was no longer possible.

Before the symptoms presented and a diagnosis given, the belief was already there.

Perhaps you believed that genetics determined your health. Perhaps you believed that getting older meant feeling worse. Or perhaps you quietly assumed that your physical health was not especially important in your spiritual life.

That last belief is rarely spoken, but it is often lived.

Many Christians deeply value spiritual growth, prayer, and Scripture, yet unintentionally neglect the physical body God entrusted to them. Over time, those beliefs shape daily habits. Those habits shape long-term health.

Over the years, we have seen this pattern again and again.

DIY Body Care + Non-Toxic Gifts Mom Will Use + Cinnamon Rolls for Brunch

Dr. Z & Mama Z — Tue, 05 May 2026 13:08:06 GMT

Hi friends,

Mother’s Day week can feel full in the best and hardest ways, with end-of-school events, teacher gifts, family meals, and the desire to bless the women who pour out so much. Here in Atlanta, we’re seeing warm days, garden dirt, and busy family schedules that make simple, clean choices even more valuable. Today’s DIY Tips is about lowering the daily burden on the body by choosing real ingredients for food, gifts, and skin. When we avoid synthetic fragrance, harsh body care chemicals, and sugar-heavy treats, we create room for more peace at home. We’re also spotlighting Dream Cream, one of our favorite clean skincare gifts for moms.

Mother’s Day Sale: 38% Anti-Aging Dream Cream + Free Jade Roller (and Shipping) - Black Friday Deal in May! :)

Your 100% USDA organic solution for turkey lines, crow’s feet, crappy skin and wrinkles that uses ‘nature’s botox’ for real

From the Blog:

Spotlight: Our Favorite Clean Skincare Gift for Mother’s Day

We’ve used Purity Woods’ Age-Defying Dream Cream for years, and it’s one of those products we feel good recommending because it’s 100% non-toxic, affordable, and our Natural Living Family readers have LOVED it.

“I love the Dream Cream. Finally, my face feels moisturized all day! I feel good knowing I can trust the ingredients. I usually lose heart with creams because I don’t feel or see results. Purity Woods is different.” ~ Stephanie B.
“I love this dream cream. I am 70 and my skin has never looked so good!! The wrinkles around my lips and forehead have really diminished. My skin is firmer than ever.” ~ Grace

And we’re super excited to let you know that you can...

Get an exclusive Black Friday deal on the 100% Organic Anti-Aging Dream Cream for Mother’s Day today...

This is a special, limited-time opportunity to stock up for yourself and grab some for those special women you’re celebrating for Mother’s Day!

If you’ve looked in the mirror and felt discouraged by fine lines, dry patches, dull skin, age spots, or that thin, crepey look, you are not alone. Many people try cream after cream and still feel stuck with greasy formulas, no visible change, or ingredient labels full of synthetic junk.

A lot of anti-aging products promise smoother, younger-looking skin, but the ingredient label often tells a different story.

Most creams, serums, and lotions on the market contain synthetic fragrance, parabens, PEGs, PFAs, dyes, harsh preservatives, and other lab-made ingredients we don’t want on our skin or in our homes. Some “natural” products can be just as concerning because they use comforting words like organic or wild-crafted without actually being USDA Certified Organic.

That matters because your skin is not a plastic covering. It is your body’s largest organ, and what you put on it can add to the daily burden your body has to process.

That’s why we encourage you to protect, nourish and smooth out your skin with our Natural Living Family favorite 100% Organic Anti-Aging Dream Cream from our friends at Purity Woods.

Here’s the hard truth no one wants you to know: many conventional products may give a temporary smooth feeling, but do so by exposing your skin to ingredients that can be irritating, hormone-disrupting, or toxic over time. That is not the kind of beauty routine we want for our Natural Living Family.

Trust us, Purity Woods is no joke. Their standard is excellence and their products work.

And the stories from real customers are simply beautiful:

“I love the Dream Cream. Finally, my face feels moisturized all day! I feel good knowing I can trust the ingredients. I usually lose heart with creams because I don’t feel or see results. Purity Woods is different.” - Stephanie B.

“This product has restored my confidence as an older woman. Thank you, Purity Woods!” - Jan

Yes, it’s your 100% USDA organic solution for turkey lines, crow’s feet, crappy skin and wrinkles that uses ‘nature’s botox’ for real results.

“My face was so dry that it had dry blotches everywhere that would crust over and peel off. I tried everything from aloe to shea butter to relieve the dryness, but nothing worked. But now, after using the Dream Cream for two months, my face is radiant. No more dry, flakey skin.” - Marilyn W.

DIY Shaving Cream + Healing Vanilla + Homemade Apple Crisp

Dr. Z & Mama Z — Sun, 03 May 2026 15:11:08 GMT

Hi friends,

Are spring allergies a little more intense this year? Here in Atlanta, record pollen counts piling up day after day for the last four months. After what felt like almost no real winter, nature skipped it's normal seasonal pattern and everyone that we know is battling through it: runny noses, sinus pressure, scratchy throats, and just feeling 'yucky.' Pro Tip: the more inflamed you are, the more severe your symptoms are, which is what these DIY Tips are all about. Honestly, we could rename this newsletter and call it the anti-inflammatory newsletter because that's what it is. And today? Cleaner shaving cream, smarter grain choices, calming vanilla oil education, and a better-for-you apple crisp may seem small, but these choices help lower the daily burden on the body. Plus, we’re spotlighting NasoChill, one of the herbal remedies Mama Z reaches for when allergy-like symptoms start wearing the family down.

Allergy Season Sale: 50% Off Naso Chill Instant Herbal Allergy Relief that has been a life-saver this spring...

Remarkable breakthrough formula can stop the sniffling, sneezing, drips and itching BEFORE they even start because...

From the Blog:

DIY Whipped Shave Cream to Stop Razor Burn - If shaving leaves bumps, cuts, or dry, angry skin, this DIY swaps mystery foams for coconut oil, shea butter, carrier oil, and skin-friendly essential oils, plus damp-skin technique and oils to avoid around sensitive areas.
Vanilla Oil Truth for Mood and Skin Care - Before you buy “vanilla essential oil,” learn what it really is and why vanillin matters. This article explains absolutes, oleoresins, and CO2 extracts, plus research on antioxidants, Staph bacteria, mood, inflammation, and cancer.
Quinoa for Gluten-Free Inflammation Help - When wheat leaves you bloated or inflamed, quinoa gives your family a gluten-free ancient grain with protein, fiber, magnesium, manganese, quercetin, and kaempferol. You’ll also get practical ways to use it beyond a plain side dish.
Homemade Apple Crisp That Feels Like Real Dessert - For the nights you want comfort food without the usual sugar crash or gluten load, this apple crisp uses tart apples, coconut sugar or Christmas Cookie Blend, gluten-free flour, sprouted oats, Ceylon cinnamon, and butter or coconut oil.

These DIY Tips are too good not to share. ;)

Spotlight: Is it the Flu or Allergies?

Seriously... sometimes it’s hard to tell. Achy, fever, runny nose, headache, tired...

Seems like everyone isn’t feeling well around us. Last month, our daughter Esther felt run down and said it was allergies. Could have been the flu, not sure, but we treated it the same.

Because THIS has been a game-changed for Mama Z’s allergies, we’ve been using it for allergy like symptoms for our house...

It’s now part of our daily ‘medicine cabinet’...

Mama Z she ads a scoop in our kids morning smoothie...

DIY Lip Balm + Cedarwood Oil + Farmed Fish Risks + Tuna Noodle Casserole

Dr. Z & Mama Z — Sat, 02 May 2026 15:21:49 GMT

Hi friends,

When lips crack, sleep suffers, dinner feels rushed, and grocery labels get confusing, the answer is not more overwhelm. Today’s DIY Tips shows how to make non-toxic lip balm, use cedarwood oil wisely, skip questionable farm-raised fish, and bring tuna casserole back to the table (the healthy way). Plus, the CBD spotlight that explains why dosage may make all the difference.

CBD BOGO: Save Big on Prosper Wellness “Dose Load” Pure CBD (Natural Living Family Exclusive Savings)

This ‘Sacred Plant’ Has Been Used For At Least 4,755 Years To Relieve Everything from Pain to Bad Moods to Healing the Gut.

From the Blog:

Extra-Moisturizing DIY Lip Balm Recipe - Store-bought lip balm can hide petroleum, parabens, and mystery fragrance. Make Mama Z’s silky batch with beeswax, shea butter, vitamin E, coconut oil, rosemary, and peppermint for soft lips your family can trust.
11 Cedarwood Oil Benefits for Body & Mind - Cedarwood’s woodsy scent is just the beginning. Research explores its use for sleep, stress, focus, acne, dandruff, hair growth, pests, inflammation, metabolism, and even leukemia cells in clinical studies.
Farm-Raised Fish Risks You Should Know - Farmed salmon and tilapia can come with contaminants, antibiotics, dyes, poor omega ratios, and questionable feed. Learn why wild-caught fish is the cleaner choice for family meals and long-term health.

These DIY Tips are too good not to share. ;)

Spotlight: "CBD Doesn't Work"

Pain. Sleep. Anxiety. Systemic Inflammation.

And millions of people use CBD for these issues (and more) every single day.

You’ve heard us discuss it before, and it’s worth repeating...

And here’s a story to illustrate...

“CBD doesn’t work!”

That’s what a close friend told us when we were telling her about the so-called medical miracles that we were seeing in our Natural Living Family thanks to CBD.

There was a woman in Indiana who literally could not walk before she tried CBD. Now she plays golf every week, and doesn’t use a cart.

Another man in Nebraska couldn’t use his hands thanks to crippling pain, and is now back in his shop doing woodworking 6 hours a day.

The list goes on and on.

So why was our friend so negative about it?

Turns out she tried it, and it did nothing for her. She said she might as well have been taking sugar pills.

So, we dug in and did some extensive research, and was stunned at what we found.

--> It turns out CBD really doesn’t work for some people, but it’s almost always because those people don’t do this one simple little thing…

DIY Tick Spray + Lyme Oils + Yummy Chocolate Bites

Fri, 01 May 2026 11:29:09 GMT

Hi friends,

As warmer weather pulls everyone outside, DIY Tips is focused on practical ways to protect the people and pets we love. But be careful. the 2026 tick season has started with a vengeance, with rising emergency room visits for tick bites in April reaching their highest levels since 2017 due to warmer weather and mild winters. Experts are now predicting a severe season in the U.S. for Lyme disease, and other illnesses. We’re making dog-safe tick spray, looking at oils for Lyme prevention, checking vitamin D warning signs, and whipping up chocolate bites that beat the snack-time sugar trap. Plus, today’s Colima salt spotlight is a cleaner swap for everyday cooking.

Deal of the Day: Get a FREE Bag of the Healthiest, Tastiest Salt in the World (does NOT contain lead or microplastics!)

Yes, it’s sad, but true... most salt contains microplastics & heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, and lead, which is why we use non-toxic brands like Colima salt.

From the Blog:

DIY Tick Spray for Dogs - This easy spray blends carrier oil with lavender, grapefruit, eucalyptus, lemongrass, and geranium to help repel fleas and ticks before walks, hikes, and backyard play.
Best Essential Oils for Lyme Prevention - Lyme can bring bullseye rash, flu-like aches, joint pain, brain fog, headaches, numbness, and crushing fatigue. See the oils studied for tick control and bite prevention.
Vitamin D Deficiency Signs to Watch Out For - Low vitamin D can affect mood, energy, immunity, bones, and muscles. Learn the warning signs, why indoor living makes it worse, and how sunlight, food, and supplements can help.
Homemade Chocolate Energy Bites - These make-ahead bites use raw cacao, dates, coconut oil, and coconut for a sweet snack with real ingredients. They’re kid-friendly, filling, and ready for lunchboxes.

These DIY Tips are too good to keep to yourself. ;)

Spotlight: If you use Himalayan or table salt… STOP!

In fact, did you know that…

99% of table salt is FULL of microplastics
Most Himalayan salt is NOT from the Himalayas (but from rock caves in Pakistan)
Both of them are NOT made for cooking

Spotlight: Biblical ‘Tree of Life Herb’ Helps Blurring Eyesight

Millions of adults face vision problems as they age — from blurred vision to diseases that can lead to permanent blindness. The CDC warns these conditions are the leading causes of low vision in America.

--> Holistic doctors say: “Do this every morning to help STOP vision loss.

Here are the 5 most common issues:

1. Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) - The #1 cause of vision loss after 50. Dry AMD (90% of cases) happens as the macula thins with age, while Wet AMD causes bleeding and fluid under the retina. Risk rises with smoking, high blood pressure, and family history.

2. Blurred Vision (Refractive Errors) - Myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism all distort how light hits your retina. Aging and genetics are key risk factors.

3. Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) - High blood sugar damages retinal vessels, leading to vision loss. Poorly controlled diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension increase risk.

4. Glaucoma - A group of eye diseases tied to pressure buildup that silently damages the optic nerve. Symptoms range from patchy blind spots to sudden, painful vision loss.

5. Cataracts - Clouding of the lens that blurs vision, fades colors, and makes driving at night dangerous. Aging, smoking, alcohol, and sun exposure make cataracts more likely.

--> Nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, copper, lutein, and zeaxanthin are essential for protecting your eyes.

What You Can Do to Protect Your Eyes....

1. Take Supplements with the AREDS 2 Formula - Large clinical trials show AREDS 2 supplements can slow progression of AMD by up to 25%. iGenics Eye Vitamins are packed with these proven nutrients—vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, copper, lutein, and zeaxanthin—delivered in optimal amounts your diet may not provide.

2. Schedule Annual Eye Exams - Some diseases (like glaucoma) show no warning signs until it’s too late. A yearly eye exam can detect issues early, track changes in vision, and allow for faster intervention before permanent damage occurs.

3. Strengthen Circulation & Blood Sugar Control - High blood pressure and blood sugar wreak havoc on the delicate blood vessels in your retina. Supporting healthy circulation, keeping cholesterol in check, and balancing blood sugar with diet and lifestyle changes are crucial for protecting your sight.

4. Eat an Eye-Healthy Diet - Leafy greens (spinach, kale, collards) for lutein and zeaxanthin. Citrus & berries for vitamin C to slow cataract development. Wild-caught fish & flaxseeds for omega-3s to protect the retina. Egg yolks, carrots, and red/orange produce for vitamin A and antioxidants. These foods strengthen your macula, reduce inflammation, and fuel your visual system.

5. Quit Smoking, Avoid 2nd Hand Smoke & Limit Alcohol - Both accelerate the breakdown of the macula and lens, dramatically raising your risk for AMD and cataracts. Stopping now can preserve vision later.

6. Protect Against Digital Eye Strain - Blue light from phones, tablets, and computers leads to headaches, dry eyes, and sleep disruption. Follow the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds), blink often, and consider blue-light filters or glasses.

--> Take Care of Your Vision with iGenics - iGenics Eye Vitamins deliver the proven AREDS 2 formula and more, giving your eyes the nutrients they need to fight aging and protect your sight.

It all has to do with this Biblical herb known to natives as, “The Tree Of Life.”

That could be the key to getting your vision restored...

Spotlight: Protect Yourself From the 5 Types of Vision Problems With The "Tree of Life" Herb

As people age, they might start experiencing sudden vision changes that can take them by surprise. That’s because as we get on in years, our eyes naturally undergo changes that can lead to a host of vision problems, particularly for those aged 41 and up.

In today’s digital world, prolonged screen time and exposure to blue light add to these challenges, contributing to eye strain, dry eyes, headaches, and even potential long-term damage like macular degeneration. Blue light disrupts sleep by suppressing melatonin and strains the eyes due to its high-energy wavelengths.

We’ll explore the most common vision problems in adults, the risk factors—such as aging, screen habits, and environmental factors—that influence their development, and, most importantly, practical steps you can take to protect your eyes and preserve your vision for years to come.

--> With these proper nutrients in your food & supplements, your eyes can naturally protect themselves from aging and worsening eyesight.

What Are the Types and Causes of Visual Problems?

Many middle-aged adults experience various vision health issues in one or both eyes ranging from mild to severe. Difficulty in seeing things clearly, and even permanent vision loss, are primarily caused by age-related diseases of the eyes.

These eye diseases are the leading cause of low vision and blindness in millions of Americans, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The five types of visual problems most experienced by adults are as follows:

1. Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

AMD is a common type of vision problem in adults over the age of 50, which can affect one or both eyes. It’s currently the leading cause of vision loss in the elderly.

This disease affects the eye’s macula, part of the retina that allows you to focus on and see the details of the objects you’re looking at. It’s also in charge of your central vision, allowing you to see things in front of you clearly. With AMD, straight lines may appear distorted or wavy, while some objects look like they’re missing a lot of fine details.

The two forms of AMD that adults may develop are:

Dry AMD - it is much more common and accounts for up to 90% of AMD cases. It occurs as part of the aging process wherein the macula in both eyes thin and lose function over time. An early sign that you might have Dry AMD is drusen, which looks like pale or yellow-colored deposits underneath the retina. Drusen is often found in folks 60 years and older.
Wet AMD - less common, and this occurs when there are abnormal blood vessels growing underneath the macula, causing fluid and blood leakage and, eventually, loss of central vision.

Risk factors for developing AMD include:

Being overweight
Smoking
Having hypertension or high blood pressure
Family history of macular degeneration

-->Doctors say: “Do this every morning to help STOP vision loss.”

2. Blurred Vision (Refractive Errors)

Blurred vision is another common vision problem in adults. They occur because your eye’s natural shape affects how the light will focus on your retina, causing blurry vision when you focus on an object. While some already have these errors since childhood, others develop blurred vision as they age.

These refractive errors can be further broken down into:

Nearsightedness or myopia - when you can see things up close clearly, but those in the distance appear blurry.
Farsightedness or hyperopia - when distant objects appear clear to you, but those up close appear blurry.
Age-related farsightedness or presbyopia - when your eyes’ lenses are less flexible, making it difficult to focus on things up close or read fine print.
Astigmatism - when you experience distorted vision regardless of distance.

Risk factors for developing blurred vision include:

Aging (particularly in presbyopia)
Family history

3. Diabetic Retinopathy (DR)

Diabetic Retinopathy is a complication that adults may experience if they have either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. This eye health issue occurs when high blood sugar levels affect and damage the retina’s blood vessels over time, eventually leading to vision impairment.

The two primary stages of diabetic retinopathy are:

Nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy - refers to the early stages of the disease. It happens when leaks in tiny blood vessels make the retina swell and is a common reason for diabetics to experience vision loss.
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy - refers to the advanced stages of the disease. It happens when your retina grows new blood vessels, which can bleed and lead to vision blockage and form scar tissues that can lead to retinal detachment.

Risk factors for developing diabetic retinopathy include:

High cholesterol
Type 1 of type 2 diabetes
Hypertension or high blood pressure
Poor control of blood sugar level

--> Certain herbal formulas contain large amounts of the most important vitamins and minerals necessary to maintain good eye health, like vitamins C and E, zinc, copper, lutein, and zeaxanthin.

4. Glaucoma

Glaucoma refers to various eye diseases that damage the eye’s optic nerve due to fluid or pressure build-up, resulting in vision loss or blindness. You may experience different vision problems symptoms depending on the type of glaucoma you have, such as:

Acute angle-closure glaucoma - causes severe eye pain, blurred vision, red eyes, headaches, and nausea due to a sudden increase in fluid pressure inside the eye. This is a medical emergency as it can result in blindness if timely treatment is not given.
Chronic open-angle glaucoma - progresses over a long period, causing you to eventually develop patchy blind spots in your peripherals or side vision and have difficulty seeing objects along your central vision.
Secondary glaucoma - this type is tied to other causes like inflammation, eye injury, diseases like diabetes or cataracts, or medication. You may experience symptoms like headache, eye pain, vomiting, or nausea.
Congenital glaucoma - occurs mostly in babies and children younger than three years old.

Risk factors for developing glaucoma include:

Aging
Nearsighted or farsighted
Family history of glaucoma
High eye pressure

5. Cataracts

Cataracts are clouding of the lenses in one or both eyes. They may not cause any symptoms at first, but they can eventually cause you to experience hazy or blurred vision, have poor night vision, or make colors appear faded or yellowish. These vision changes can make everyday tasks like driving or reading difficult.

Cataracts often occur in older persons but may also develop in young adults and children.

Risk factors for developing cataracts include:

Aging
Alcohol use
Diabetes
Smoking
Sun exposure

--> With these proper nutrients, your eyes can naturally protect themselves from aging and worsening eyesight.

What Can You Do About These Vision Problems?

As these eye diseases may lead to vision problems or even vision loss, stopping them before they become severe is imperative.

Here’s how you can take better care of your eye health:

1. Take Supplements with AREDs2 Formula

Sometimes, eating healthy may not be enough. To ensure that you’re getting adequate nutrients for your eye health, supplementing your diet with iGenics Eye Vitamins will greatly help.

The National Eye Institute sponsored 2 major clinical trials designed to look more into age-related macular degeneration and cataracts and the effects of certain vitamins on how these eye diseases progress.

Their studies showed that if you have intermediate age-related macular degeneration in one or both eyes, AREDs 2 supplements can help slow down your chances of acquiring vision loss later on and help reduce the risk of high-risk patients from developing AMD by as much as 25%.

AREDs 2 supplements have large amounts of the most important vitamins and minerals necessary to maintain good eye health, like vitamins C and E, zinc, copper, lutein, and zeaxanthin.

While food and other multivitamins may offer these nutrients, most don’t contain the right amounts to help fight off vision loss caused by AMD. As such, if you already have AMD, taking supplements based on AREDs 2 Formula is important.

2. Undergo Annual Eye Exams

Some eye conditions like glaucoma display no signs or early symptoms. Hence, detecting them early may only be possible if you undergo regular eye exams.

Your eye doctor may perform different tests, such as evaluating your visual acuity, testing your eye focus, and ophthalmoscopy, which helps them check for eye diseases like cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma.

A complete eye exam once a year is recommended for everyone, especially those 50 years old and above. If detected early, the progression of eye diseases may be slowed down and treated.

3. Get Natural Light, But Protect Your Eyes When Needed

Your eyes were designed by God to receive natural light, and spending time outdoors without sunglasses during gentle sunlight, especially earlier in the day, can help support your body’s natural circadian rhythm and hormone levels. That morning light signal helps your brain understand when it is time to be awake, alert, and energized, which supports healthier melatonin rhythms later at night. This is one reason we don’t believe sunglasses need to be worn every single time you step outside, especially during mild light exposure, shaded walks, cloudy mornings, or quick outdoor breaks.

4. Avoid Smoking & Second-Hand Smoke

While most often linked to heart diseases and lung cancer, smoking may also lead to vision loss. This is because smoking can adversely affect your retina, lens, and macula, putting you at risk for eye diseases like AMD and cataracts.

That’s why if you want to lower your chances of developing these serious eye conditions, you need to stop smoking entirely.

5. Eat Clean

Eating nutrient-rich foods is a good way to maintain clear vision and excellent eye health.

For example, consuming foods rich in lutein and zeaxanthin can reduce your risk of developing chronic eye diseases. Meanwhile, eating foods high in vitamin C can lessen your risk of getting cataracts, while those high in omega-3 fatty acids are vital to maintaining retinal function and proper visual development.

Eating dark leafy vegetables, colorful fruits, red meat, and fish are all great ways to incorporate these nutrients into your diet.

6. Wear Blue Blocking Glasses

Blue light from devices can strain your eyes and disrupt sleep because it suppresses melatonin production, leading to poor sleep quality, and contributes to digital eye strain with symptoms like dry eyes, headaches, and fatigue. Its high-energy wavelengths are harder for the eyes to focus on, potentially causing long-term retinal damage and increasing the risk of macular degeneration.

Reduced blinking during screen use can worsen dryness and discomfort. To protect your eyes, use blue light filters or glasses, follow the 20-20-20 rule (look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes), and limit screen time before bed.

6. And the hardest one of all...

Put down your phone. Use your lap top and desktop as much as you can and avoid staring at your itty bitty tiny phone screen all day.

It’s called Digital Eye Strain/Computer Vision Syndrome, and symptoms include eye fatigue, redness, burning sensation, and difficulty focusing, often caused by staring at screens for extended periods. Aka like most of us do all day long!

Please care for your eyes before any vision problem worsens.

iGenics is formulated to help stave off vision issues while providing enough nutrients to the eyes. Definitely worth looking into.

It all has to do with this Biblical herb known to natives as, “The Tree Of Life.”

That could be the key to getting your vision restored...

--> U.S. Doctor says: “Do this every morning to help STOP vision loss.”

Spotlight: 7x More Powerful than CBD

CBD is well-known for helping with pain, inflammation, and mental health conditions, but did you know it can also help with weight loss and burning fat, especially when combined with turmeric?

Essential oils, CBD and other healthy oils work together to stimulate your body’s God-given ability to burn fat, lose weight and beat cravings that keep you on the diet roller coaster.

You’ll be surprised at how effective they are together...

But the problem that face is that MOST of the essential oils and CBD on the market today are fake (adulterated, contaminated and not potent enough to produce a therapeutic effect).

So, if you’re looking to take CBD be sure of two things:

Make sure the product is REAL. Buy from a trusted supplier & you can go here to learn how to identify fake CBD products.
Consider taking CBD with turmeric - a powerful combination can help convert bad fat to good fat, and decrease fat-causing hormones.

Well documented for its pain-relief, inflammation-soothing properties...

We recommend taking TURMERIC & CBD together to banish pain, soothe inflammation, reduce stress, and help burn fat.

Turmeric helps block the growth of blood vessels that feed fat tissue, essentially starving fat cells to death.

CBD converts ‘white fat’ to ‘brown fat’, which burns calories and boosts metabolism. Plus, CBD decreases stress hormones linked to obesity.

Our friends at Prosper Wellness have created a CERTIFIED formula with both of these fat-destroying ingredients in one dose, and you want to try it out...

They’re offering our Natural Living Family an additional 10% off + 3 BONUS bottles.

Spotlight: For all of us Chocolate Lovers, this drink is a game-changer for stem cells, GLP-1 & heart health...

For most people, it stops feeling like a “treat.” It starts feeling like a trap because the guilt sets in…

The sugary coffee. The afternoon sweet snack. The chocolate craving you swear you will ignore tomorrow. The energy crash that leaves you reaching for more sugar, more caffeine, more willpower, and still feeling like you are losing ground.

That is where so many people are stuck right now.

They are tired of fighting cravings, watching the scale refuse to move, and wondering why their energy feels lower. Their waistline feels softer, their body feels older than it should, and underneath all of that is something even deeper: The fear that their health is slipping away, one ordinary day at a time.

That is why this matters…

Research shows that high-flavanol cocoa is linked to a major increase in circulating stem cells, improved blood vessel function, and better blood pressure support. Raw cacao has also been shown to nearly double the levels of GLP-1 after a glucose challenge.

And we’re talking real (raw) cacao. Not the highly processed cocoa we grew up on. HUGE difference...

Bottom line, the right kind of chocolate does a lot more than taste good.

It helps support two of the things people are desperate for right now.

Better internal repair support through healthy stem cell activity.
And better appetite and metabolic support through GLP-1.

But before you buy hot cocoa at the store… the problem is that most people are not drinking the right kind of chocolate.

They are drinking sugar bombs disguised as comfort and jrocessed junk disguised as reward.

That is the villain in this story. Not your lack of discipline, your age, or some permanent flaw in your body. It is the daily routine that keeps pulling you backward.

—> That is where Cacao Bliss comes in.

Cacao Bliss is made with ceremonial-grade cacao plus ingredients like cinnamon, turmeric, MCT oil, black pepper, monk fruit, lucuma, and mineral-rich salt. It gives chocolate lovers a richer, more satisfying option that supports their goals instead of sabotaging them.

Here is the plan:

Instead of starting your day with a sugary drink that spikes cravings and wrecks your momentum, make one cup of Cacao Bliss.

Use it as your new morning routine.
Use it when the afternoon craving hits.
Use it to replace the habit that has been quietly draining your energy, your confidence, and your progress.

Because when your body gets support for healthy stem cell activity, GLP-1, circulation, and steadier energy, you are no longer relying on sheer grit to get through the day. You are finally giving your body something that works with you.

If you are tired of fighting the same battle every morning and every afternoon, this is your chance to change the pattern.

Need A Dose Of Truth?

Christians do not need another health trend, protocol, or product to chase. We need a clear Biblical framework that helps us understand why our daily patterns are either supporting the abundant life Jesus promised or quietly working against it. In this piece from our Bible Health Substack, we introduce the Bible Health Blueprint, a simple lifelong way to think about spiritual alignment, your environment, daily rhythms, and discernment so you can stop guessing and start making wiser choices for your family.

Spotlight: The REAL reason you feel bloated

Ever wonder why you STILL look bloated…

Feel backed up or suffer from embarrassing gas…

Even when you watch what you eat and take supplements or meds?

Here’s an eye-opening truth you won’t hear from your doctor:

That “food baby” sticking out of your stomach…

Isn’t from the food you eat.

Instead, leading health experts now believe most adults are walking around with TWENTY pounds of waste in their system!

Now most doctors recommend the “obvious”...

Laxatives.

OTC meds.

Yogurt or probiotic supplements.

Unfortunately, they rarely work…

In fact, most of the time they make the problem WORSE.

Which is why top medical researcher, Dr. Ryan Bentley spent the last decade trying to find a REAL solution…

And today thousands are using this quick “colon reset”.

His method works differently than anything you’ve tried before…

Because it addresses the ROOT cause:

- Breaks down hardened waste that’s been stuck for months

- Restores your body’s natural elimination process

- People report unwanted weight melting away… while gas and

bloating disappear.

It’s safe. It’s fast. And it works when everything else fails.

--> Try this “colon reset” today

Plus discover why you should NEVER take another store-bought probiotic (they’re a complete waste of money).

Need A Dose Of Truth?

We almost lost our marriage while doing everything we thought Christians were supposed to do. We were praying, in church, in the Word, raising three little kids, and building a Bible health ministry that was changing lives, but behind closed doors we were breaking. Divorce had been spoken, our bodies were exhausted, and ur home had toxic black mold.

Slowly, God began showing us something we had never fully understood: when the body breaks down, patience, prayer, clarity, and connection often break down with it.

This is the story of the season that nearly crushed us, and the Biblical truth that changed how we see health forever.

Spotlight: Discover why Ashwagandha is "useless"...

In this article by our friend and thyroid pharmacist, Dr. Izabella Wentz explains why Ashwagandha is one of her favorite herbs for supporting thyroid health in Hashimoto’s.

It’s been shown to normalize thyroid hormone levels by boosting T3 and T4 and lowering TSH. It’s also anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and mood-stabilizing.

But before you take it, be sure to consult with your physician if you’re currently on thyroid medications, because it may stimulate the thyroid and immune system.

And consider this...

The research is undeniable...

There is also emerging research to suggest that it’s useless in its common form.

Meaning this...

Research suggest that when you take ashwagandha in capsules, pills and powders - you are only able to absorb about 15% into your body.

That’s because a lot of the nutrients in pills, capsules and powders are destroyed by stomach acid before they can be effectively absorbed.

So by the time Ashwagandha reaches where it needs to go in your system, you’ve lost a lot of its benefits because the dose decreases.

Fortunately there’s a form of Ashwagandha that’s eight times more absorbable than the types typically found in health stores.

With this highly absorbable form of KSM-66® Ashwagandha, you can fully enjoy its benefits, which include enhanced stress resistance, better sleep and improved all-round vitality.

If you’re ready to tap into these powerful benefits...

Spotlight: is this #1 way to get rid of dormant toxins in your brain?

As you know, we’re HUGE fans of natural, herbal remedies and when governing agencies like the U.S. National Institutes of Health goes on record to sing the praises of supplements like Ashwagandha we think it’s worth noting.

Fact is the research is undeniable...

Ashwagandha has been clinically shown to be a SAFE, EFFECTIVE remedy to help improve sleep, manage stress and banish anxiety.

And that’s just what the NIH is willing to admit! :)

There is also emerging research to suggest that it’s useless in its common form.

Meaning this...

We just wrapped our monthly check-in on Substack Live, and we have to tell you, this one hit different. We got real about the three things we refuse to let back in our home, no matter how many birthday parties, school snacks, or well-meaning gifts try to sneak them past the front door.

This is our monthly pattern now. Once a month, we go live. We catch up with the family, answer your questions, and break down what is actually moving the needle in our home.

April’s focus: the three non-negotiables.

Just three. Not a list of 50 rules that would crush a tired mom and send her straight back to the drive-through out of sheer exhaustion. Three. Because when you get these three right, everything else starts falling into place on its own.

This is not new. It is just not popular, and that is precisely why it works. Watch the replay here.

Paul wrote these words while explaining what motivates his life and ministry. He was not driven by pressure, approval, or obligation. He was compelled by love.
