Your Brilliant Brain
 
Ever worry about your brain - for now or later?
 
Like right now are you feeling like your brain is buffering — like the spinning wheel of doom on your computer? 🌀
 
OR wonder about all the brain diseases that seem to befall the older generation with more frequency as of late?
 
Wonder if there is something you can do?
 
For Denae and Laura, that fear has hit all too close to home. Their father was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and his entire family suffered from brain disorders.
 
They know taking care of the brain is better done proactively.
 
There is so much you can do!
 
Working on your brain now will help with your focus, energy levels AND help protect the brain for the future!
 
Here’s the truth: your brain uses 20% of your body’s energy — and if your sleep, stress, or nutrition are off even a little, your brain feels it first.
 
🔥 When we push through without rest, our brains rely on stress hormones to stay alert — which works for a bit, then crashes.

💧 When we skip hydration or meals, our neurotransmitters (those little chemical messengers that control mood, memory, and motivation) get sluggish.

💤 When we miss deep sleep, your brain’s “cleanup crew” can’t clear out toxins — leaving you foggy, anxious, or snappy the next day.
 
So no, it’s not in your head.
→ It is your head — and it’s ready for a reboot.
 
Next week we are sharing the Brilliant Brain Class and we’re diving into:
🧠 How your brain really works (no PhD required!)
💡 What small shifts make a huge difference in focus, energy, and calm
🍳 How to eat, rest, and move in ways that boost your mental clarity
Because you deserve to feel clear, focused, and like yourself again. AND support your brains long-term wellness!
And it’s totally possible — you just need to know where to start.
 
👉 Come join us for the Brilliant Brain Class — it’s practical, fun, and might just be the reset your mind’s been craving.

"Your brain - every brain - is a work in progress. It is 'plastic.' From the day we're born to the day we die, it continuously revises and remodels, improving or slowly declining, as a function of how we use it." 
- Michael Merzenich

Focus spray ~ One of Laura’s FAVES! 
Use the spray for your face to perk yourself up OR for breath freshener. 
 
You can add more oil if you want it. (From Laura: I find I can’t do too many drops to use on my face but do prefer more for a breath freshener - play with it to see what you prefer.)
Focus Spray
In 2oz spray bottle, add 5 drops of Peppermint oil & fill the rest with water.
