DAILY HEALTH HABITS
Dr . David K . Hill , D . C ., Founding Executive , Chief Medical Officer and Chairman , Scientific Advisory Committee
When I decided it was time to begin taking my own health more seriously , I didn ’ t have to look very far for a road map . Health isn ’ t about an extreme diet or exercise program , but a lifestyle focused on healthy sustainable habits — the six principles that make up the dōTERRA Wellness Lifestyle Pyramid .
LIFESTYLE HEALTHCARE
PROACTIVE MEDICAL CARE
INFORMED SELF CARE
REDUCE TOXIC LOAD
REST & MANAGE STRESS
EXERCISE

Exercise
Burning a few extra calories through increasing physical activity had to be a component of my new lifestyle and that meant the occasional discomfort that can accompany increased exercise . As regular date nights at the movies became hikes and neighborhood bike rides , Deep Blue ® Soothing Blend and Deep Blue ® Rub became my daily companion . With my increased activity levels , I found that it was most convenient to keep a bottle of both the oil and the rub in a desk drawer close to my front door .
EAT RIGHT

Eat Right
Cleaning up my diet , which included drastic changes to both what and how much I was eating , wasn ’ t that complex , but there were some factors that you don ’ t always consider . Even those who have the cleanest of diets often fall short when it comes to meeting their body ’ s nutri tional needs , which makes supplementing your diet with dōTERRA Lifelong Vitality Pack ® ( LLV ) critical for anybody seeking optimal health . Starting every day with LLV along with my breakfast and including it with dinner is the foundation of my daily health habits .
One of the lesser known side effects of a diet composed of mostly highly processed foods is its effect on the inner workings of your gut . We ’ re beginning to discover that the health of your gut microbiome doesn ’ t only influence digestion , but also may have significant impacts on metabolism , weight management , and several other health factors . Supporting a healthy intestinal microflora balance by supplementing my new diet with PB Assist ® + Probiotic Defense Formula became a part of my day-to-day regimen . And as bad as my previous eating habits were , your body will adapt to anything . With a digestive system accustomed to highly processed food , the whole food diet I was embarking on would be an uncomfortable change . DigestZen TerraZyme ® provided those active whole-food enzymes and the tummy tamer blend necessary for gastrointestinal comfort and food tolerance .* Health and longevity begin with how you fuel your body ; the nutritional building blocks provided by a diet composed of whole foods and supplemented by LLV , PB Assist +, and DigestZen TerraZyme is the foundation of any health-promoting plan .*
