Let’s be real—scratchy throats aren’t just a winter thing anymore. They’ve taken up full-time residence. Between weather shifts, travel, and whatever mystery air we’re breathing these days… it’s no wonder your immune system’s asking for backup.
So instead of reaching for the chemical chest rub or mystery syrup from the drugstore aisle, how about something that’s:
- Clean 🌿
- Cozy ☕
- And actually works 👏
I’m talking about Thieves Tea—my go-to remedy for soothing the throat and supporting wellness. And just when you thought tea couldn’t get more exciting… I’ve got a fancy-pants immunity version you’re going to love.

One of my favorite ways to support energy, detox, and gut health during the Hormone Reset (or any time!) is with a simple, powerful drink known as "The Red Drink," made popular by Dr. Peter Minke.
🚨 A Little Red Drink Humor
Many of my customers have made the Red Drink part of their daily routine—and for a couple of them, it turned into quite the adventure! One of them pulled up to a red light, NingXia Red bottle in hand, and nodded to a police officer in the next lane. With a smile, she took a big sip—forgetting that the NingXia Red bottle looks suspiciously like a wine bottle. 😅 When the light turned green, she drove off and was quickly pulled over!
She couldn’t stop laughing when the officer asked what she was drinking—and almost convinced him to try NingXia Red on the spot. Moral of the story: Red Drink is powerful… and sometimes a little too convincing. 😉🍷
This drink combines hydration with targeted nutrients to help your body function at its best. Here's what makes it so special:

✨ What's in The Red Drink?
- Filtered Water
- 1–2 oz NingXia Red
- 1 tsp Sulfurzyme™ POWDER (not the capsules)
- 3 drops Lime Vitality™ Essential Oil
How to Make It:
Add the NingXia Red to an empty NingXia Red bottle, then add Sulfurzyme and Lime Vitality. Top it off with water. Shake well and sip throughout the day. Then, mix up a second batch for the evening!
🍷 Why It Works
✨ NingXia Red
NingXia Red is a whole wolfberry puree packed with water- and fat-soluble antioxidants, plus essential oils. This unique combination helps protect your cells from oxidative stress, boost energy, and support your immune system. It's the only antioxidant drink on the market (as far as he knows) that contains water soluble and fat soluble antioxidants.
✨ Sulfurzyme Powder
This isn't just MSM. Young Living's Sulfurzyme Powder combines MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) with wolfberry fruit powder and prebiotics (fructooligosaccharides).
Why MSM Matters:
- MSM is nutritional sulfur. Every single protein starts with a sulfur-containing amino acid so we need to maintain a healthy supply of it so it doesn't steal it from another source within our body. It's essential for healthy protein synthesis
- Supports detox pathways, especially for heavy metals. We are exposed to heavy metals every day so sulfur is important to take every day. It takes the heavy metal, adds a sulfur to it, converts it to a less toxic form which the body then can get rid of more easily
- Young Living sources their MSM from sources that we can trust and it tests every single batch for mercury, lead, pesticides, and more to ensure it's a thorough analysis.
Why Sulfurzyme POWDER over capsules?
Only the powder includes the prebiotic blend, which makes it a great choice for gut health and digestion. It helps detox the body. It feeds into the methylation process with MSM.
Important: Nutritional sulfur (MSM) is safe for those with sulfa allergies. This is NOT a sulfa drug.
Sulfurzyme Powder benefits alone...
Supports healthy weight management
Supports clear skin 
Supports healthy joints
Supports fast recovery times (sports/fitness)
Supports healthy digestion, detoxification + elimination
Supports Brain Health ✨ Lime Vitality Essential Oil
Lime Vitality is rich in bioflavonoids that support the immune system, enhance detox, improve microcirculation and calms the adrenals.
Just 3 drops of Lime Vitality contains approximately 150 mg of bioflavonoids!
✨ Water
We need water for good circulation and overall health and wellness. If you wake up achy, foggy, get tired easily, you'te probably dehydrated and aren't drinking enough water. Connective tissue gets sticky and blood gets thick, which doesn't allow mitochondria [energy production factory in every cell] to work effectively which leads to oxidative stress. This leads to inflammation and chronic issues. Hydration helps to maintain healthy joints, circulation, muscles, etc.
🚀 Benefits of The Red Drink
- ❤️ Supports clear skin and healthy weight
- ✨ Improves joint mobility and muscle recovery
- 🌿 Promotes gut health and regular digestion
- ⚡ Boosts energy and reduces oxidative stress
- 💪 Helps detoxify heavy metals and environmental toxins
- 📚 Enhances nutrient absorption and circulation
❓ Who Should Try It?
Anyone who wants to support their body on a deeper level—especially during times of stress, detox, or hormone imbalance.
If you wake up tired, feel foggy or stiff, or just want a wellness upgrade, this might be the simplest, most effective habit to add to your day.

In today's world, our bodies are constantly bombarded with toxins—environmental pollutants, processed foods, stress, and even the personal care products we use daily. If you've been feeling sluggish, bloated, or just "off," your body might be crying out for a detox reset.
One of the easiest and most effective ways to support your body's natural detoxification is with an ionic detox foot bath. This gentle yet powerful process can help remove toxins, boost your energy, and restore balance. But how does it work, and how do you know if you need one? Let's dive in.
What Is an Ionic Detox Foot Bath?
An ionic foot bath is a non-invasive and relaxing detox method designed to help the body release accumulated toxins. It uses a specialized foot spa that emits a low electrical current into warm water, creating negative and positive ions that draw out impurities through the feet.
The feet have over 4,000 pores—one of the body's best pathways for detoxification. As your feet soak, the charged ions work at a cellular level, helping to balance pH levels, improve circulation, and support the body's natural ability to eliminate toxins.
How Does It Work?
During an ionic foot detox session, you’ll place your feet into a tub of warm, salt-infused water while a special ionizing array is activated. This device interacts with the water, producing negatively charged ions that bind to toxins in the body and pull them out through the pores.
As the detox progresses, you may notice the water changing colors. This isn’t just from foot residue—it’s a sign of toxins and impurities being released from different parts of the body. While there’s some debate about the exact color meanings, the changes often indicate the presence of heavy metals, lymphatic waste, and other unwanted substances leaving your system.
7 Signs You Need an Ionic Detox Foot Bath
How do you know if your body is struggling with a toxic buildup? Here are some common signs that you could benefit from a detox session:
- Chronic Fatigue & Low Energy – Feeling constantly drained, even after a good night’s sleep? Toxins can overload your system, making it harder for your body to function efficiently.
- Frequent Headaches or Brain Fog – A toxic burden can impact cognitive function, leading to sluggish thinking, memory issues, and persistent headaches.
- Poor Digestion & Bloating – If your gut feels off, it could be a sign that your liver and kidneys are struggling to eliminate toxins effectively.
- Skin Issues (Acne, Rashes, or Dull Complexion) – Your skin is one of the body’s largest detox organs, and when it's overwhelmed, it may show up as breakouts, dryness, or irritation.
- Inflammation & Joint Pain – If you’re dealing with achy joints, stiffness, or unexplained inflammation, detoxing can help reduce the toxic load that contributes to discomfort.
- Weakened Immune System – Frequent colds, infections, or allergies? A toxic system can leave your immune defenses overwhelmed and struggling to keep up.
- Restless Sleep & Mood Swings – Your body does most of its detoxing while you sleep. If toxins are lingering, you may experience insomnia, anxiety, or emotional ups and downs.
If you’re nodding along to any of these, an ionic foot bath might be exactly what your body needs!
What to Expect After a Foot Detox
Many people report feeling lighter, more energized, and mentally clear after a session. Some notice improvements in digestion, sleep quality, and even joint flexibility. Because your body continues detoxing for up to 48 hours after a session, it's important to hydrate well and support the process with clean eating and deep breathing.
Who Should Avoid an Ionic Foot Bath?
While most people can safely enjoy an ionic detox, certain individuals should consult a doctor before trying it, including:
🔹 Pregnant or nursing women
🔹 Those with pacemakers or implanted medical devices
🔹 People on dialysis or with severe kidney disease
🔹 Individuals with open wounds or infections on their feet

Ready to Give It a Try?

Life was a struggle!
I was working 60-80 hours per week, homeschooling our children, and barely getting enough sleep. Our marriage was rocky. I was low energy and overweight. We were constantly sick. Stomach bugs, snotty noses, misery. Our son got croup every six months that was so bad his throat would close up and he wouldn't be able to get enough air OUT of his lungs, which could quickly lead to suffocation. I slept with him because I was so afraid that he would wake up, unable to breathe and I wouldn't hear him.
Money was tight. We were so broke we couldn't pay for gas to get to the park. Beans and rice. Rice and beans. Stress, stress, stress!
Then, everything came to a screeching halt!...
I open my eyes and the room is floating, fuzzy. I take a breath. My lungs fill halfway and stop. Another breath. "Doctor Wright's office." "Hi, do you have an opening today?" "No ma'am, we're full, but we can schedule you for next week." Breathe, breathe, sob... "I really need an appointment." "Okay, come right in. We'll fit you in."
I carry my sleeping children to the car. Breathe, breathe, stay alive. "Deanna, can I bring the kids over? I need to go to the doctor." "Sure, come on over."
Breathe... open the door at the doctor's office, walk to the reception desk. It's all slow motion. The patient's in the waiting room glance up, raise their eyebrows and draw away. The receptionist hears my approach. "Go ahead and sign in... " as she looks up. She reacts quickly and ushers me in. I pass by a reflective container on the wall and see my pale face, dark, sunken, blood shot eyes... breathe... Quick vitals and I find myself in a room I didn't know exists. IV, scuttling nurses, and Dr. Wright comes in. "Well, what have you gotten yourself into now? You look awful. 104 degree fever, severely dehydrated, and... I think you have double pneumonia. Can your husband come to pick you up? We can't allow you to drive home. I'm ordering labs and here's a giant shot of antibiotics for your back side..."
I had hit bottom. My worried husband was allowed to bring me home with a warning to make sure I continued breathing. I looked over at my children sitting opposite from me. They sat side by side. Their huge, glassy eyes said, "mommy's gonna die."
NO! I would never see that look in their eyes again!
That's when our lives changed.
Do you ever find yourself caught in a cycle of never-ending chaos?
Does your health rank lowest in your priorities because you use up all of your energy taking care of others?
You're not alone.
Out of fierce determination to live, I found solutions and I'm here to help lead others to be able to live life better than they ever believed, to dream again and to achieve those dreams. It's time to step out of the hopeless cycle of chaos and start experiencing a vibrant life.
