Getting Inline with Prime Meridian

doTERRA offers so many amazing opportunities to those who go out and grab it.  Natural solutions for health, financial health for those who grab the opportunity and run, and now they have partnered with Board Certified doctors to create Direct Patient Care Clinics all over the country to serve everyone.  You don't have to be part of doTERRA, although it gives you a discount.  I would be happy to help you there.  Click here for a great way to start with a great discount.  You don't need insurance.  Yes, you read that correctly.  

So what is this place called?  Prime Meridian.  Yes, I went and here is a bit of my own experience.  

First, let's talk about what they offer.  They offer you a real doctor, board certified who can prescribe the medicine you have been used to but they can also offer you natural solutions, and nutritional options.  Appointments are not how you are used to though.  Did you know the average time you spend with your doctor is 16 minutes?  At Prime Meridian you have either a solid 30 minutes or 1 hour.  Undivided attention.  It is almost so shocking that you as the patient aren't sure if you are talking too much.  Maybe that was just me.

If you need to follow up and chat but you are out of town, there are Video or Telemedicine appointments.  My next appointment will be done while I am on the road.  How amazing!  But that isn't the coolest part, I have already heard personally via email from my doctor over a dozen times since my first appointment a week ago.  To compare that to my current "insurance based" doctors, I recently went the ER and was instructed to contact them for a followup.  I did, and two weeks later I still have not heard back from them.  It is my job to pester them to receive healthcare.  When you are not feeling well, it is all on you which to me is a cycle of sickness.  Who really wants that?  I am sure I don't feel confident in being the annoying patient and I imagine it is annoying for the doctor to have patients badgering them all the time.  Again, maybe that is just me?

So the in person appointment is probably something you might be wanting to know more about.  I went in for a 9 am appointment and was actually seen at 9 am!  Novel concept.  All the normal vitals were checked then the doctor and I chatted for 45 minutes.  He wanted to know what my biggest issues were.  Why did I seek out help from him?  What had I tried up to this point - medicines, oils, supplements, diet, etc?  No eye rolling to alternative options.  In fact it was quite the opposite.  He was curious why I chose those options, how they had worked and if I was continuing them.  He even noted some of my oil protocols down.  I have to admit it felt nice to have a doctor appreciate my efforts and not dive right into "your problems are just simply that you are fat."

         

 

Then came the on table exam.  Suggestion for some of my common stuffy nose and fluid behind the ears was "You need Triease.  Everything is in bloom."  We

proceeded to look at my thyroid and a few other issues leading to some

standard tests I could have done when I got back home to Florida.  See, I went to the clinic in Nashville, TN.  This process has allowed me to see more of my results without so many hoops to jump through.  

I have been asked a few times "Is this set up even legal?"  "Do you really feel comfortable doing care this way?"  Both answers are absolutely yes.  I am a firm believer that doctors are great people looking to care for their patients.  Many things keep them from doing their jobs they way they desire. I am always looking for a doctor who wants to partner with me on my health journey.  I know I have to do my part and I want them to do theirs.  If they are trapped and unable to do that it makes it almost impossible to solve issues.  If you happen to be a doctor reading this and thinking, I would love to be in a DCP facility, message me.  I will help connect you to the right people who will let you love your profession again.  

If you are looking for a great way to care for your health, check out a clinic near you.  We have the ability to make change by our choices.  Choose your health, choose yourself.

Don't Ya Love a Great Surprise!

After 6 years of using, sharing and loving my oils, I am still surprised at the successes I have with their many uses.  For those who are just starting to look at essential oils for their homes, let me just state this one fact: they do far more than make things smell great.  Well, that is if you use a high quality, pure, therapeutic grade oil.  Ensure the oils you use are highly tested by a third party to ensure there is some distance between testing results and pressure to sell.  

What have been my most recent surprises…..so many.

Let’s start with what I will call the unsung hero of Thyme essential oil.  For years, this oil was my “other Oregano”.  Thyme is a fabulous oil to support your immune system.  I adore it diluted with Wild Orange when that cough is just lingering a bit longer than I want.  But the surprise……

Thyme…diluted because it is a hot oil…rubbed over your liver can chill you out in a matter of minutes.  Yeah, seriously.  All the oils have both physical and emotional properties and Thyme helps you let go of all the negative feelings and release the anger and rage you might feel when frustrations escalate.  A little Wild Orange isn’t so bad to add to this mix as well.   Wild Orange makes just about everyone happy after all.


My second surprise came as I have been searching for some answers to overall wellness.  See, for the last few years my body has been acting up on me.  Doctors are a bit confused but I am still firmly in the camp of “hey it’s my thyroid misbehaving again.”  As I looked up help for this option, I learned a few new oils that supported my body.  Balance & Geranium.  I have always heard Lemongrass, Myrrh and Clove but never Balance & Geranium.  I adore these two so this was a huge win for me.  Balance does have Frankincense and really does do more that just help our mood.  Geranium is excellent for hormone support, liver & kidney support as well as supporting your circulatory system.  Guidance also suggested that if there was discomfort to apply Deep Blue right over the thyroid gland. WOAH what?  

Yes, Deep Blue over the the thyroid.  I thought for sure this would be a bust but I was happily proven wrong.  When I tried this method, my body was full of little aches and pains.  Within minutes, they eased and I felt better.  Just 2 drops over the thyroid and a full body solution.  I am thrilled and shocked.  Yes...the Deep Blue Rub would work well too.  I just prefer the oil.  

As I am heading to see the Prime Meridian doctors in Nashville, TN, I plan to share all of these things with them.  For one, I think these might be clues to help them help me.  I love the fact they have a philosophy of incorporating Western medicine with our doTERRA essential oils. The other reason I will share is maybe it can help someone else.  Just like this blog.  
My hope is that my surprises help you and you will find a way to share these with others.

Enjoy 

Welcome….or for those of you who remember our old blog Essentially Savannah, welcome back!  Yes, it has been 4 years since I last blogged.  That sounds like a confession but it is more than that.  I didn’t quit my business.  In fact, to give you all a bit of an update, my last entry was January 3, 2015.  I had just been accepted into my first round of doTERRA Diamond Club  then we received news that our blog needed to stop.  It was the “dark times of doTERRA”.  The compliance days.  My blog was one of the first shutdown due to the fact I was not going to have an enormous amount of time to rewrite 53+ posts (I think I flat deleted some) while traveling and meeting people face to face to share my love of oils.

Two more rounds of Diamond Club, my kids have gotten older….so have I and well, I really want to blog again.  For those who don’t know me, I am a mother of 3 kids who have embraced acting, a former airline captain who loves all sort of crazy music from The Beatles to Green Day to Rixton to Carrie Underwood to King & Country.  We homeschool to accommodate crazy schedules and embrace the individual.  I love an independent thinker…even though it frustrates me when they don’t clean their room.

You will hopefully experience some of the great content you loved before such as The Spot but with some extras.  See, through all of this struggle, I have learned some serious lessons about myself, these fabulous oils, my team and the power of being grateful. 

I hope you will stick around to experience the love I have for essential oils but also learn ways to kick the toxins out of your home and out of your mind.  My hope is to also inspire a few of you to start seeing yourself as your best self.  In the words of the great Dusty Crophopper from Disney’s Plane, “I’m just trying to prove that maybe, just maybe, I can do more that what I was built for.”

Glad your here!
