doTERRA Cleanse and Restore Kit with Dr Ruth Dempsey

<<4>> - Hello, my name is Ruth Dempsey,

<<6>> I'm a PhD scientist working in lifestyle.

<<9>> I've dedicated my whole career

<<11>> to looking into how small lifestyle changes

<<14>> and even big lifestyle changes can help

<<16>> to make our lives better,

<<18>> give us a better and more healthy life in general.

<<22>> And I've been, for the last few years, collaborating

<<24>> with doTERRA as a member

<<26>> of their Scientific and Medical Education Committee,

<<28>> and because it's an obvious match

<<30>> looking at how doTERRA's products can be behind

<<34>> those changes that you can make to your lifestyle

<<37>> to improve how you live.

<<39>> And today I want to talk to you about doTERRA's

<<43>> latest Cleanse & Restore program here in Europe,

<<48>> and detoxing in general, which is really what

<<51>> the Cleanse & Restore is about,

<<53>> supporting the body through a detoxification process.

<<57>> Now, I'm often asked whether it's necessary,

<<60>> why do we need to go through

<<62>> a detoxification process itself?

<<64>> We do all know that we are subject to a toxic load

<<68>> throughout our lives, from all sorts

<<71>> of various different sources.

<<73>> And I always prefer to think of it in terms

<<75>> of the toxic load as opposed to specific toxins itself,

<<78>> because anything can be a toxin,

<<81>> really what matters is how much you have of it.

<<84>> So if you even think of sodium chloride, table salt,

<<87>> which isn't something that you naturally put

<<89>> the label of 'toxin' on, but if you have too much of it,

<<91>> it's going to be bad for you.

<<93>> So I prefer to think about the burden of toxic load

<<96>> that we have on our body in total.

<<98>> And that comes from external sources,

<<101>> it also comes from the way we live,

<<103>> and the habits that we have.

<<106>> And also actually, you can have toxins build up

<<109>> within your body as byproducts of the natural

<<112>> biochemical processes that are going on,

<<114>> the millions of biological processes

<<116>> that are going on within your body itself.

<<119>> Now fortunately, our body's very well capable

<<122>> of coping with that.

<<123>> It has all sorts of organs and functions

<<126>> to actually help to support our body

<<130>> against these toxins, to protect us.

<<133>> The skin and the mucus membranes are the first barriers

<<136>> that we have for things getting in.

<<138>> And because we know the lungs and the digestive tract

<<141>> also are the first places of contact

<<143>> from the external into the internal world,

<<145>> then they are well set up to filter out and to protect us

<<149>> from many of those toxins themselves.

<<151>> And then when we move inside the body itself,

<<153>> we have the real kings of detoxification,

<<156>> which are the organs like the kidney and the liver,

<<159>> and of course the lungs again as well,

<<161>> which have various different functions to help to manage

<<165>> all that extra load, the toxic load that we have

<<168>> within our body itself.

<<170>> And I like to think of it a little bit

<<172>> like keeping the house clean.

<<174>> We have those housekeepers to make sure

<<177>> the house is kept clean and tidy all of the time.

<<180>> But every now and again, we start to notice the buildup

<<184>> of things; that pile of papers in the hall

<<187>> that needs dealing with, the shoes that are gathering

<<190>> becoming an accident hazard next to the door,

<<193>> those little crumbs that you've seen building up,

<<196>> you keep meaning to clean that drawer out in the kitchen,

<<198>> and those crumbs are just building up in there.

<<201>> And what we do in the home normally

<<203>> is every now and again, we just have a blitz.

<<206>> We have a spring clean and we clean the whole thing out,

<<208>> a major declutter, and we get everything sorted out.

<<212>> And fundamentally, that's what we're doing

<<214>> with our body when we do a detoxification process,

<<217>> when we go through that detox program itself.

<<221>> I always think it's interesting,

<<223>> I quite often look at some of the traditional regimes

<<226>> that there are for health and wellness worldwide.

<<229>> Things like Ayurveda,

<<230>> and the Latin American shamanic cultures,

<<234>> Chinese traditional medicine, naturopathy.

<<237>> When I start to look at the customs that they have in those,

<<241>> and if you see something that's common to all of them,

<<244>> I think that's a really good indication that

<<246>> this is something that is working, and that is necessary,

<<250>> and that is helpful for the human body.

<<252>> That's the case with detox.

<<253>> All of these traditional approaches

<<256>> have some level of detoxification program built into them.

<<261>> Ayurveda, you would expect to do a seasonal detoxification,

<<265>> similarly you do in traditional Chinese medicine,

<<268>> in naturopathy.

<<269>> So all of these have this idea

<<272>> that you need to detox the body.

<<273>> And interestingly, they all use very similar groups

<<278>> of plant extracts to actually support the body

<<281>> in doing that.

<<282>> And effectively, that is what doTERRA's latest

<<286>> Cleanse & Restore program is all about.

<<288>> So this latest Cleanse & Restore program,

<<291>> let's go through the whole program,

<<292>> and look at the elements that are in there.

<<294>> It's designed as a 30-day program,

<<298>> and it has a number of different elements in there.

<<301>> It has the Lifelong Vitality Pack,

<<304>> along with the European version of Terrazyme,

<<309>> and Lemon in this first stage,

<<311>> that go throughout that full 30 days.

<<313>> We have also a brand new European version

<<318>> of the Zendocrine Complex, which is very exciting

<<321>> because it's both formulated for Europe

<<324>> and manufactured within Europe,

<<326>> which means it now can become a permanent product

<<328>> and we can have it permanently available.

<<330>> And that Zendocrine is a really essential part

<<332>> of it throughout the program.

<<334>> And of course we then have the GX Assist,

<<336>> we have the probiotics, the PB Restore,

<<338>> which is also the latest version of the PB Restore.

<<342>> And finally the Zendocrine Softgels,

<<344>> and the DDR Prime.

<<345>> And the whole program is set out, as I said, over 30 days.

<<350>> And during that 30 days, the entire 30 days,

<<353>> the foundation is the Lifelong Vitality Pack,

<<356>> which you need to take anyway,

<<358>> but it's really important through the detox to take

<<361>> because to keep that nutrition, to keep the body,

<<363>> to keep those organs well nourished,

<<366>> you need to make sure you have all the micronutrients

<<368>> that you get from there, the omega-3s

<<371>> and of course the cellular support

<<374>> that you get from the full LLV range

<<376>> throughout those 30 days.

<<378>> throughout those 30 days.

<<379>> The Terrazyme also is a mixture, a blend of food enzymes

<<384>> which really target and help to digest

<<387>> and get the nutrients out of the food,

<<390>> which very often these days doesn't have as higher levels

<<393>> of the natural enzymes that they should have in them.

<<396>> And I think particularly when you're likely

<<399>> to be changing your diet for a period of time

<<401>> to quite a severe diet often in these detox programs,

<<404>> to have that support from Terrazyme to make sure

<<406>> that you get the full benefit of it is very, very important.

<<410>> So you would take that with every meal

<<412>> throughout the 30 days as well.

<<414>> A bit of Lemon oil in your water throughout the day

<<417>> is also extremely helpful.

<<419>> Drinking water is vital through this whole process.

<<422>> So it's really important when you're going through a detox

<<425>> to live cleanly, to have a good diet,

<<427>> to make sure you're sleeping well

<<429>> and to be exercising well as well,

<<431>> and also to drink lots and lots of water,

<<434>> because that helps all your organs to function,

<<437>> the liver and the kidneys and everything,

<<439>> to function properly.

<<441>> So by putting a couple of Lemon drops in your water,

<<443>> I think it helps to remind you to drink the water all day.

<<446>> It makes it, for me anyway,

<<447>> I think it makes it feel even nicer,

<<449>> more thirst quenching.

<<450>> And the Lemon itself is also helpful

<<452>> as part of the cleansing program.

<<455>> But of course the real powerhouse

<<458>> of this Cleanse & Restore program

<<460>> is this Zendocrine Complex.

<<462>> This is the complex that has all of these plant extracts,

<<466>> specifically formulated for the European formulation

<<469>> so that we can maintain it and supply it

<<472>> within Europe itself as well.

<<474>> And it contains everything you would expect to see

<<478>> to support the various different detox organs

<<481>> that are there within the body itself.

<<484>> So for example, it has ispaghula husk, or psyllium husk,

<<488>> and acacia gum, and marshmallow root extracts,

<<493>> which are great for the colon and really help

<<495>> to keep the colon functioning properly.

<<497>> And then when we move on to the real detox organs,

<<500>> the liver, kidney, skin, and the lungs.

<<502>> We have the red clover flower within there,

<<506>> which is great for the liver,

<<507>> and we have dandelion root, and burdock root,

<<510>> and clove flowers, and angelica root,

<<514>> and artichoke leaf.

<<516>> The extracts from all of these are great

<<517>> for the liver, the kidneys.

<<519>> Artichoke is also really good for the digestive system.

<<522>> We also have garlic extract, again supportive for the liver,

<<526>> but both garlic and kelp,

<<528>> which is also in there, great for the skin too.

<<531>> So you can see how it's a real powerhouse

<<534>> of these plant extracts,

<<537>> these herbal extracts which support

<<539>> the detoxification process throughout the 30 days

<<542>> of this detox program that you're doing itself.

<<545>> So that needs to be taken twice a day

<<547>> throughout the program.

<<549>> And then we break the program into three 10-day sections.

<<553>> So the first 10 days is the 10 days

<<557>> where we activate the body, we prepare it for the detox

<<561>> that it's going to go through.

<<563>> That activation process is encouraged by the use

<<566>> of the Zendocrine, but not the complex this time,

<<569>> this is the softgels.

<<571>> And the Zendocrine Softgels are basically a mixture,

<<575>> a blend of the essential oils which are great for helping

<<578>> to support the liver and to help that cleansing process.

<<582>> So it has in it Geranium and Tangerine for cleansing,

<<586>> and Juniper Berry, Cilantro and Rosemary,

<<588>> which are both great for cleansing

<<590>> and for supporting the liver.

<<591>> Those Zendocrine Softgels morning and evening

<<594>> for that first 10 days.

<<596>> Then you have really set the ground for the next 10 days,

<<599>> which is really the reset program here,

<<601>> and the king of this one is the GX Assist.

<<604>> And the GX Assist has another blend of essential oils

<<609>> within it which are really good at resetting

<<613>> the whole of the body systems related to detoxification.

<<617>> So this has things like Lemon, and Lemongrass,

<<620>> and Peppermint, Oregano, Tea Tree and Thyme.

<<624>> These are all known for their antibiotic properties,

<<628>> antioxidant properties.

<<630>> They can be very useful and helpful

<<631>> for actually cleaning out the gut and helping to reset you,

<<634>> and for targeting the organs

<<637>> which are involved in detoxification.

<<638>> A very powerful mix of oils that really help you to reset.

<<642>> And these seem to be very good at targeting

<<646>> the bad bacteria in your microbiome.

<<649>> We've talked about the microbiome many times,

<<651>> it's an extremely important part.

<<653>> And it's not just in the gut, it's in every part

<<655>> of the body, but it's a question of balance always.

<<658>> It's having the right amount of good microbes,

<<661>> and a minimal amount of bad microbes within it.

<<663>> These antibiotic properties seem to be really targeted

<<665>> at the more pathogenic and the bad microbes

<<668>> within this mixture as well.

<<669>> So it's a great moment to actually reset

<<671>> and cleanse the ground, and get it prepared

<<674>> for the next renew part, the last 10 days of the program.

<<678>> And I like to think of this almost like gardening.

<<680>> Like if we take this house analogy

<<682>> and go out into the garden,

<<683>> in the spring, you sort of prepare the ground in the garden,

<<686>> you clear out the weeds and you prepare the soil,

<<689>> and you turn it over so that it's all ready to sew

<<691>> your beautiful flowers, herbs, and vegetables,

<<695>> and your salads and everything ready for the summer.

<<698>> And it's a similar thing that we're doing

<<700>> within our bodies itself.

<<701>> We've now reset the whole thing,

<<704>> and it's ready to be renewed and reseeded

<<707>> with the good things that you want to have in there.

<<710>> And how better to do that than with the probiotics

<<713>> that you get from the PB Restore?

<<717>> This is the latest mixture of probiotics

<<719>> that are available from doTERRA.

<<721>> And there are 28 different bacterial strains in here,

<<725>> which cover a whole range of the different microbiomes

<<727>> that you have within your body itself.

<<729>> And if you wanted to supplement that specifically

<<732>> for the gut, you could also take

<<734>> the PB Assist+ sticks with it, which are a group

<<737>> of those strains which are really focused

<<740>> on the gut microbiome itself.

<<742>> And at the same time as you're doing that 10 days,

<<745>> the last thing that we have in here

<<746>> is the DDR Prime essential oil blend.

<<749>> And this essential oil blend is a wonderful blend of oils,

<<752>> which are a real powerhouse for antioxidants.

<<754>> And the oxidative stress is often the side effect

<<758>> of the toxins that are coming in

<<759>> and the processes that are happening in the body.

<<761>> So those antioxidants really help to reset the body

<<764>> and renew, and set you going forward.

<<768>> And that includes things like Clove, Frankincense,

<<771>> Litsea, and Niaouli.

<<773>> These are really powerful oils which help in many ways,

<<777>> so that's a great thing to take for that last 10 days

<<779>> as well, to set you up and to renew you,

<<782>> so at the end of these 30 days,

<<784>> you've gone through the whole process

<<785>> and your body is at its prime and ready to go ahead.

<<790>> I often get asked how often you should do that,

<<793>> and there is no one answer.

<<795>> As I said, the traditional approach

<<796>> is very often twice a year.

<<799>> A seasonal approach is not a bad way to look at it,

<<801>> but my mantra is always know yourself.

<<803>> You need to know when you might need this.

<<806>> It might be because you've had a particularly stressful time

<<809>> and you've not been eating well,

<<810>> and you're feeling run down.

<<811>> That might be a great time to have another detox,

<<813>> and to boost yourself, and to kick yourself into gear.

<<817>> So it could be every couple of months,

<<819>> it could be, depending on how you're living,

<<821>> once a year, twice a year.

<<823>> You need to know when you might need it.

<<826>> But I'd like to say, if you've never done a detox before,

<<828>> or if it's a long time since you've done it,

<<830>> then now is a great time to set yourself up for 30 days.

<<835>> Use the doTERRA Cleanse & Restore program

<<837>> and kick off yourself into a new you.

<<840>> You'll be surprised how wonderful you feel at the end of it,

<<844>> and I'm sure you're going to enjoy using it.
