Integrative Health Pathways-Personalizing Your Genes Part 2

The Integrative Health Pathways Group is a women’s support group that meets monthly to support targeted wellness goals. This month’s group is the 2nd part of a 2-part series on how to personalize your health by using your genes with a focus on detoxification.

Dr. Kourtney will also go over a breakdown of Phase 1 and 2 liver detoxification pathways and which SNP’s have a high impact when it comes to the body’s ability to detoxify medication, environmental toxins, pesticides and hormones. Each participant will receive a detoxification schematic tool as a take-home worksheet for these pathways.

If you register and cannot attend the educational session will be recorded for replay later. To ensure a safe space any group discussion portion of the class will not be recorded.

Botanical Toolkit- Discover the Wonders of Lemon Verbena

Meet lemon verbena, the aromatic gem from the Andes Mountains! Once cherished by the Incas, it made its way to Europe in the 17th century, thanks to the Spanish and Portuguese explorers. It’s a favorite worldwide, gracing gardens and kitchens with its delightful lemony scent and myriad benefits. Not to be confused with blue vervain (Verbena officinalis), lemon verbena is a cooling, lemon-scented powerhouse. Here’s why you’ll love it:

• Digestive and Respiratory Support: Eases heartburn, nausea, stomach cramps, bloating, and flatulence. It also helps with colds, sinus congestion, and asthma.
• Brain and Sleep Booster: Enhances brain function, improves sleep, and reduces anxiety. Perfect for those sleepless nights!
• Skin and Perfume Perfection: Great for skin conditions and popular in perfumes and potpourri.
• Muscle Recovery: Anti-inflammatory properties help with post-workout recovery and relieve joint pain. Enjoy a cold tea made from lemon verbena leaves as a great post-workout refresher after intense exercise to speed up recovery and protect against oxidative damage.

Fun Uses of this botanical include:

• Essential Oil Magic: Add a few drops to your diffuser or shower for a refreshing, lung-relaxing experience.
• Culinary Delight: Grow it in your garden and add its delicious flavor to recipes.
• Stress and Sleep Aid: A study showed that lemon verbena can reduce stress and improve sleep quality, thanks to its key compound, verbascoside.

💡 Personal Tip: Blend dried lemon verbena leaves with hawthorn for a heartwarming, sweet-citrus infusion that lifts heavy emotions and nourishes the soul.

Embrace the uplifting and calming scent of lemon verbena, and let this versatile plant add a burst of sunshine to your life!
