Imagine if the scents around you could influence your health. In this episode, Laura Lummer, a two-time breast cancer survivor and Certified Life, Health, and Nutrition Coach, dives into the fascinating world of scent awareness and its impact on metabolic health. Laura starts by shedding light on the importance of mitochondrial health. These tiny powerhouses in our cells are crucial for energy production, especially for those recovering from breast cancer.
But here's the kicker: synthetic fragrances can mess with these vital organelles, disrupting our body's natural processes. Surprising, right? Laura doesn't stop there. She takes a deep dive into how these synthetic scents, found in everyday products like scented candles and plug-in air fresheners, can act as hormone disruptors and harm our mitochondrial function. It's a wake-up call for anyone mindful of their health. But don't worry, Laura has solutions.
She introduces the benefits of natural essential oils, which not only smell wonderful but also offer mood-enhancing, respiratory, and antibacterial benefits. Essential oil diffusers, she suggests, are a fantastic alternative to synthetic fragrances. They come directly from plants and can improve indoor air quality while supporting your overall wellness. Laura also emphasizes the importance of the Terrain 10 assessment.
This tool helps breast cancer survivors understand their body's needs and priorities, focusing on areas like stress, mental health, and toxic burden. By making small changes in our environment, such as switching to essential oils, we can significantly support our metabolic health. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice for breast cancer survivors and anyone interested in holistic well-being.
Laura's insights encourage us to be more mindful of what we inhale, just as we are with what we eat or drink. Tune in to learn how you can use natural solutions to fuel your journey towards optimal health.
