Heritage Essential Oils

I learned that if the blood sugar gets too low while sleeping, the body wakes you up to keep you from going into a coma. Being awake stimulates enough glucose to keep you from sleeping permanently. These were the steps I took to turn my life around:
1) If/when I awake in the night, I eat some dried fruit and go back to bed.
2) Before bedtime, I drink a high-quality protein drink, which provides a slow-release source of glucose.
3) I eat smaller meals - graze rather than feast. This levels out the glucose and may help speed up metabolism for better weight control.
4) Dense proteins are desirable, long-lasting sources of glucose that I eat before 3 pm. I added free-range, organic eggs, organic, free-range chicken and organic wild salmon. Other than the protein shake, I want all foods digested before I climb into bed.
5) I supplement with Green Pasture BLUE ICE Royal Butter Oil/Fermented Cod Liver Oil Blend, Cinnamon Tingle for my essential fatty acids. Research shows that EFAs improve glucose and insulin control. It's also good for the foggy brain, heart, joints, liver and so on. I read that Clove and Thyme essential oils dramatically slow fatty acid breakdown and oxidation, so I add some of HEO's Endurance blend to my CLO.
6) I did a colon cleanse, because if the colon is not right, that can cause a leaky gut which causes brain fog.
7) I did a liver cleanse and use HEO's Liver/Gallbladder blend topically over my liver daiy. A sluggish liver is not helping you, so do what you can to clean and support liver function.
