Why is hydration so important?
Sweet Summertime. The sun. oh how I have missed you. Pool or lake days, BBQs, getting outside! Summer is the season of being outdoors. It’s also the season of forgetting to hydrate, sunburns, and bugs. BUGS! In today’s blog and next week's, we will dive into each of these further.

Hydration is key to many functions in the human body, and in the summer heat, it can be challenging to maintain hydration. One of the most significant roles that water plays in the body is regulating internal temperature. The body’s ability to stay cool in hot weather depends on proper hydration. But hydration isn’t maintained by water consumption alone. Yikes! Water is vital, but electrolytes are also required for hydration. The body cannot fully absorb the water you drink without electrolytes. In addition, electrolytes are necessary for nutrient absorption. You must have sufficient electrolytes to absorb the vitamins and minerals from the food you eat. So it’s a big deal!


Electrolytes help regulate nerve and muscle function, hydrate the body, balance blood acidity and pressure, and help rebuild damaged tissue. So what is the easiest way to introduce electrolytes to your body? Sea salt. Seriously! Sprinkle some pure non-iodized sea salt into your water. You will barely notice it is there.

Along with skipping iodized salt, skip the pink Himalayan salt. Another way I like to get my electrolytes in is by using the YL Vitality Drops. They are packed with electrolytes (sourced from the Great Salt Lake, which has over 70 naturally occurring ionic trace minerals!!) which are so needed for our bodies to function correctly.

Your body will thank you if you start adding sea salt or YL’s Vitality Drops to your water!


People often ask me what my favorite YL products are. That really depends on many factors— what may be my favorite today could be different than yesterday, depending on what’s going on in my life.

    Totally agree with hydration being a key. Also, drinking the red drink during the day adds a bit of variation.
  2. The Jade Lemon Berry is my favorite YL Vitality Drops with the Grapefruit Bergamon a close second! You know when you're thirsty and you keep drinking a lot of water and still thirsty, I find I can drink a can of NingXia Zyng and it immediately satisfies my thirst.
  3. Yes, I try to drink a lot of water, and sweat like a hog. ( I know they don't sweat), but forget the electrolytes. So I need to take the time and add that to my water 💧 🙃

My Story

 
For decades, I navigated a high-stress world as a court reporter, balancing 80-hour workweeks with being a single mom. The relentless pressure, long hours, and emotional weight took a toll on my body and mind. Chronic stress led to burnout and eventually an autoimmune issue that compelled me to reevaluate everything.

When I left that profession, I realized I needed more than just survival—I needed true healing to regain my vitality. I was determined to manage stress naturally and support my body to reverse years of high-pressure living.

Embracing natural wellness approaches, I turned to essential oils, targeted nutrition, and mindful self-care. Through these simple swaps, I found a way to regain control of my health and energy.

What I discovered on my journey is what I now share with others: We are not meant to live in constant stress and depletion. Healing is possible. Balance is possible.

I’ve walked this path myself, and my passion is helping others find their way to renewed energy, resilience, and well-being. 

If you're struggling with the effects of long-term stress, know that hope is within reach—and there are natural, effective solutions to help you feel like yourself again.
