Slide 5

This is the dōTERRA Wellness Chart. It was created around foundational health principles that build on top of each other. Think of it like building blocks. If you remove the foundation, the structure would topple because nutrition, digestion, movement and metabolism impact all other aspects of your health and wellbeing. 

dōTERRA is about proactive, natural ways to address your wellbeing concerns. Temporary or superficial solutions aren’t enough. In this class, we’re going to focus on the metabolism level of this wellness chart. We’ll discuss how you can support your body on a cellular level so you can live a youthful, vibrant life, no matter your age. 

The lifestyle choices you make each day are the foundation for your wellness. dōTERRA has created an easy-to-follow wellness path, and I’m here today to help to guide you on that journey. 

Slide 6

So, firstly, what is Metabolism?

Simply put it is the processes that your body uses to convert what you eat and drink into energy.

Slide 7

What is Metabolic Health?

Good metabolic health means your body can digest and absorb nutrients from food with healthy, stable levels of blood sugar, blood fat and insulin. Fluctuations in these levels are natural, but it’s important to avoid big variations, which can contribute unfavourably to long-term health.

Slide 8

The good news is the choices you make daily can put you in control of your metabolic health! Your metabolism can be optimised at any stage of life by attending to these five pillars.

Healthy eating, daily movement, healthy connections, stress management (including restorative sleep) and smart supplementation are the five keys that will help you to unlock optimal metabolic health. 

Smart supplementation is how you can increase the benefits of the other pillars, giving you a greater return on your efforts.

What does optimal metabolic health look like for you? More energy so you can keep up with your kids and your social life, more stamina throughout the day, improved endurance during your workout, a clearer mind so you can succeed in your day to day life —and who doesn’t want to feel and look great? 

Slide 9

We all want those things! This is why I want to talk about why everyone needs a metabolic health awakening.

Would you be surprised to learn that only 20% of adults in Europe are metabolically healthy?

So out of every 5 adults, 4 of them have suboptimal metabolic health, and many don’t even realise it.

Do you know your biomarkers for blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol? Are you in a healthy weight range? What’s your family’s history with cardiovascular health?

These are the health markers can help to predict your future quality of life and lifespan.

Slide 10

Do you know people who look years younger than the number of candles on their birthday cake? Or someone who’s the opposite, seeming older? This isn’t just a phenomenon that happens with physical appearance. 

Different people can appear to be different ages on a cellular level too—it’s known as biological age. 

Biological age is a measure of how young your cells appear, based on how healthy they are or how they behave. 

Just as outward appearance doesn’t always represent numerical age, cellular health doesn’t always align with it either.

Metabolic health and biological age are connected. This connection means the stronger and healthier your metabolic function, the better you’ll feel from the inside out. 

It’s a fact of life: as you age, so does your metabolic function. And because your metabolism influences your energy, weight, body composition, sleep, and even cognitive performance, a decline in metabolic health can dramatically impact your quality of life. 

Slide 12

There’s a big difference between your lifespan and your potential for health-span.

Medical advances are helping us live longer, but not always with the quality of life needed for fulfilling, powerful lives. Lifespan has exceeded health-span, meaning we’re living longer, but not necessarily with vitality and health for all those years. In fact, the last eight years of life are statistically spent with inhibited enjoyment of life because of health limitations.

And it’s not just the effects of ageing. Life is full of stressors that can make us feel much older than we are. We get aches, can’t sleep, experience brain fog, and take longer to bounce back than we’d like. We can feel like we’re working overtime just to get through the day.

Is that how you want to live each precious day of your life? Is that how you want to feel in the extra years we’ve gained through medical advances?  So, what’s preventing us from living vibrantly? The truth is that you can control how you feel. It’s time to close the gap between lifespan and health-span. 

Slide 13

How do we close that gap? Even for the average healthy person, ageing markers begin to show up in your twenties. By the time you reach 50 years old, your body is producing about half the NAD+ it was when you were 20.

So what is NAD+?

NAD+ is responsible for two types of reactions in the body: 

Metabolic function, which converts food and nutrients into cellular energy.

Cellular integrity, which protects your cellular energy support systems.

NAD+ levels steadily fall as you age, so there are important implications to metabolic function and the negative effects on DNA that can snowball as NAD+ levels decline.

What does that mean? As you age, so does your metabolic function, which plays a role in cellular wellness. And because your metabolism influences your weight, body composition, energy, and even cognitive performance, to close the gap between lifespan and health-span, you must take control of your metabolic health.

Slide 14

Remember the five pillars of metabolic health: healthy eating, daily movement, healthy connections, stress management, and smart supplementation? 

Well, smart supplementation is how you can get a greater return on your efforts with the other four pillars. We all eat, move, sleep—supplementation is where MetaPWR steps in. 

Slide 15

Say hello to the MetaPWR Metabolic System! Meta for “metabolic health” and PWR for “personal wellness realised.”

The dōTERRA MetaPWR System is designed to support better metabolic health, to fill in the missing piece in your wellness lifestyle plan. These products combined with healthy lifestyle choices, are a powerful key for unlocking your personal wellness.

The product line was created to provide support for your body on a cellular level, helping you live a vibrant life. 

Slide 16

We must overcome four obstacles to ensure good metabolic health: maturing fat cells, cellular integrity, variations in your normal blood sugar range and inferior supplements.

These obstacles affect your health-span, making it hard to live a vibrant life.

Slide 17

As I walk through the obstacles to having good metabolic health, I’m going to share how the MetaPWR™ system combats each of them, starting with maturing fat cells.

Slide 18

As you lose weight, you don’t actually reduce the number of fat cells in your body. You simply burn the fat stored within each cell, causing them to become smaller. 

Did you know upon reaching adulthood, the number of fat cells in the human body more or less stay the same? These cells can grow and shrink, and 5–10% die each year, but they’re replaced.

The steps you take to restrict fat cell growth are what makes the biggest difference to your body-fat percentage, or BMI. Fat cells grow when they retain droplets of fatty acids, usually because you’re regularly consuming more food than needed.

Slide 19

We all understand healthy food and beverage choices, combined with regular physical activity, can reduce the size of existing fat cells. MetaPWR Essential Oil Blend is uniquely formulated to support these lifestyle choices. 

These natural products—combined with healthy lifestyle choices—are powerful keys for unlocking your personal wellness. MetaPWR isn’t a single product. It’s a product system designed to help optimise your metabolic health. Every product features the MetaPWR Essential Oil Blend as a primary ingredient, so the power of pure essential oils fuels every aspect of the system. 

Slide 20

MetaPWR Essential Oil Blend features clinically balanced ratios of CPTG Certified Pure Tested Grade™ Grapefruit, Lemon, Peppermint, Ginger and Cinnamon essential oils.

There are three ways you can enjoy this essential oil blend: the 15 ml bottle, beadlets and softgels. Plus, the blend is in every product in the MetaPWR system.  

Slide 21

The second metabolic health obstacle is variations in blood sugar. 

Slide 22

What are variations in blood sugar? When we eat carbohydrates, enzymes in our bodies break the carbohydrates into simple sugars which are absorbed by the digestive tract into the bloodstream. Blood sugar rises. The pancreas senses rising sugar in the bloodstream and releases insulin, which tells cells to break up the glucose and clear it from the bloodstream. Blood sugar falls. Diet, lifestyle, and genetics all play part into how steeply our blood sugar varies during this process. 

Blood sugar levels are one of the most significant markers of health. These levels naturally fluctuate, depending on food and activity patterns. Over time, elevated blood sugar levels can have permanent consequences on the body.

Slide 23

MetaPWR Assist is a natural supplement formulated to help support normal-range blood sugar around mealtimes.

MetaPWR Assist features mulberry leaf extract, which can contribute to the maintenance of the carbohydrate metabolism balance of the body. When you take one MetaPWR Assist capsule, the mulberry leaf extract helps your body metabolise what you just ate more slowly. Of course, MetaPWR Assist is designed to be paired with a healthy, wholefood diet. 

While a wholefood diet and regular exercise are the best ways to promote healthy blood sugar regulation, let’s not forget that only 20% of adults in Europe have optimal metabolic health! So most of us could afford a little support. This supplement is the assist we all need at mealtimes. 

Slide 24

Here are some of the key ingredients in MetaPWR Assist

Slide 25

The third obstacle to metabolic health is cellular integrity.

Slide 26

For this next part, there are two key things I want you to understand about the relationship between ageing and cellular integrity.

First, collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. Did you know you have 28 types of collagen in your body? Collagen is a key component of connective tissues that make up tendons, ligaments, skin, muscles and more. Collagen gives your skin its elasticity and firmness, and it also supports lean muscle and connective tissues. Connective tissues give your body structure and strength. The ligaments in your knee, for example, are composed of collagen. They allow your knee to flex, bend and absorb shock.

While collagen is something humans and animals produce naturally, the natural production of it drops with age, starting from age 25. As you age (or simply because of an active lifestyle), repeated stresses are put on your joints, muscles, tendons and other connective tissues. Even the ever-present force of gravity is constantly taking its toll on your collagen-containing tissues.

Second, as I mentioned earlier NADH and NAD+ are crucial for mitochondrial maintenance, especially related to metabolic function. They convert food into energy and offer protection to cellular energy support systems. 

While your body produces NAD+ and NADH naturally, production begins dropping dramatically around middle age and continues doing so until death. Without sufficient NAD+ levels in the body, your cells can’t generate the energy needed to survive and carry out their functions.

New research and studies are helping us better understand how we can supplement and support production of NAD+ in the body, regardless of age. Preclinical studies suggest supplementing with NMN may increase NAD+, leading to more youthful functioning of cells and body systems.

I know that’s a lot of information and acronyms, but you’ll understand why it’s so important in just a minute.

Slide 27

The third step in the MetaPWR system combines the power of marine collagen, NMN, and 10 other synergistic ingredients to target cellular integrity and health-span. It’s a powerhouse!

This product can replace vital collagen your tissues need and support natural production of NAD+ in your body, helping you slow the signs of aging inside and out. The 12 synergistic ingredients in MetaPWR Advantage give your cells what they need to support cellular integrity. 

The potential result is slower biological ageing; firmer, more elastic skin; improved cognitive function; more lean muscle and connective tissue, and more!

MetaPWR Advantage is a game-changing powdered supplement you can mix with water in a shaker bottle. Use it daily to slow signs of biological ageing and extend your health-span, regardless of your current age. Nothing out there even compares to it.

Slide 28

dōTERRA sources collagen from sustainably harvested cold-water marine fish in Italy. MetaPWR™ Advantage is tested more extensively for heavy metals than any other dōTERRA supplement.

Other collagen products on the market—whether from land or marine sources—typically contain tripeptide content of 15–35%. MetaPWR Advantage collagen is over 70% tripeptide fragments for superior absorption. 

Slide 29

Some of you may already be taking a collagen supplement. Raise your hand if you’re already using a collagen replacement.

However, a lot of what you’ve read about “the best collagen” available is just good marketing. dōTERRA doesn’t spend loads of money on marketing. They spend their energy sourcing the best, purest ingredients available, as well as the best science to effectively deliver those ingredients to your cells. 

So let me give you the highlights for why the collagen in MetaPWR™ Advantage is superior to anything else you may have tried.

First, it’s 12 times more absorbable (or bioavailable) than other collagen products.

When supplementing with collagen, bioavailability is important to consider. When a supplement or nutrient is easily absorbed and used by your body, it’s considered bioavailable. The number of grams you read on the label isn’t what determines how much collagen your cells will receive after taking it. Bioavailability factors in.

That means if you were to give someone a regular collagen bottle you might find on Amazon and compare the milligram levels, you’ll absorb approximately 12 times more into your cells with MetaPWR™ Advantage than the product from Amazon. 

Second, most collagen-replacing products only feature one or two collagen tripeptide types. MetaPWR Advantage contains nine unique collagen types.

Most collagen products feature the one or two collagen types most relevant to skin beauty, elasticity and wrinkles. MetaPWR Advantage features those types of collagen, but it also includes seven other unique collagen peptide types. Remember, collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, and there are 28 known types. Supplementing with a wide range of diverse collagen types helps promote joint mobility, tissue strength and skin elasticity. So you get all the beauty benefits and can recover faster from workouts, gain an edge with flexibility in your joints, and move with more ease, no matter your age!

And finally, it’s activated by YOU! MetaPWR Advantage is a hydrolyzed powder format, activated by you when you mix with water before consuming.

Most prepackaged liquid collagens use a process to sterilise their water-based delivery system. Doing so eliminates the harmful bacteria and beneficial active ingredients like vitamins, flavonoids and polyphenols. And despite this process, they’re actually less shelf stable than MetaPWR Advantage. It also means they’re shipping heavy water around the globe, increasing carbon emissions.

MetaPWR Advantage is delivered to you in hydrolysed powder format for a more active and bioavailable delivery system at the time of taking it. Simply mix it with water immediately before you drink it. When you mix MetaPWR Advantage with cool or room temperature water, you’re consuming it as a liquid, meaning your body can easily absorb the stable, nondegraded nutrients without the sugar content that accompanies a prepackaged juice format or the value loss that occurs during pasteurisation.

Slide 30

Just look at all these benefits!

Slide 31

Do you remember the four metabolic health obstacles we talked about at the beginning of this class?

Slide 32

When combined with healthy lifestyle choices, this superior supplement system is one everyone can use to overcome those obstacles. 

The MetaPWR™ System is safe, effective, affordable and easy to use!

Slide 33

I know that was quite a bit of information—you might be feeling overwhelmed. Let me break it down into three simple steps so you can see how easy it is to incorporate these products into your life. Most people begin to feel the benefits within a week or two.

Eat a well-balanced, wholefood diet and add one or more of the MetaPWR™ Essential Oil Blend products to your daily routine.

Add the essential oil blend to your water bottle when you fill it up in the morning.

Take a softgel in the morning and afternoon.

Pop a beadlet in your mouth when you need a simple and quick way to enjoy the MetaPWR Essential Oil blend.

Slide 34

Take one to two capsules of MetaPWR Assist, 15–30 minutes before your largest meal of the day. (If forgotten or preferred, take with your meal.)

For extra support, take with each meal of the day.

Slide 35

Once a day whenever you like, add one sachet to cold or room temperature water. 

(For those excited to be super users, you can safely use MetaPWR Advantage two or three times a day!)

Slide 36

This is a sample of the daily schedule you can use to take the MetaPWR products

Slide 37

Metabolic health means your body can digest and absorb nutrients from food without fluctuations in blood sugar, blood fat and insulin (already in the normal range). 

Nutrition and metabolism have a synergistic effect on your health and overall wellness. While nutrition is the process of nutrient acquisition from your environment, metabolism is the chemical process your body uses to transform the food you eat into fuel. Studies have found persistent disturbance of nutrient metabolism or energy homeostasis—caused by either nutrient deficiency or excess—induces cellular stress, leading to metabolic dysregulation.  

Slide 38

Remember the dōTERRA Wellness Chart we saw earlier? So far in this presentation we’ve been focusing on the metabolism level of the chart and how MetaPWR helps to support your lifestyle choices.

Equally important is ensuring that we are giving our bodies sufficient nutritional support. Let’s talk about the supplements in the Lifelong Vitality Program (LLV) and how you can combine LLV with MetaPWR to support a healthy lifestyle to help you look and feel your best.

Slide 39

Your body has an amazing capacity to heal when you give it what it needs!

dōTERRA’s Lifelong Vitality Pack was created with this in mind. Each complex blend has a specific job to do to assist in supporting our bodies with optimal health.

Whether you are starting to feel the effects of ageing, or you just want to promote a healthier lifestyle, the dōTERRA Lifelong Vitality Program is designed to maximise your energy, focus and wellbeing. Let’s now discuss the benefits of each product in the Lifelong Vitality Program.

The dōTERRA Lifelong Vitality Program includes three products that have been specially formulated to provide the body with antioxidants, to support immune health, to promote healthy energy levels, and to give the body proper nutrients that might be missing from our diet. These products, Alpha CRS, xEO Mega and Microplex VMz, use safe ingredients together with CPTG essential oils to provide individuals with a convenient way to promote vitality and wellness.

Slide 40

Alpha CRS+ provides a source of antioxidants for the body, helping to promote health and vitality. Antioxidants can be found in many natural whole foods; however, it can be difficult to get adequate amounts of antioxidants on a daily basis from diet alone. By providing the body with antioxidants, Alpha CRS+ aims to help your inner system function optimally.

Slide 41

Using a proprietary blend of natural extracts and other ingredients, the Alpha CRS™ formula can help combat the effects of ageing on cellular health and energy and vitality levels. 

Ingredients include Grape Seed Extract and Turmeric Root Extract.

Slide 42

While the Alpha CRS formula aims to provide the body with antioxidants and cellular protection, the xEO Mega Essential Oil Omega Complex is designed to offer the body Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) that will help the body systems function in a healthy way. The body requires essential fatty acids to help with key functions like cell growth, brain development, muscle activity, immune function, joint health and more.

Slide 43

As you can see, the combination of powerful ingredients and essential oils in the xEO Mega formula make it a useful supplement for providing the body with a healthy balance of essential fatty acids, along with other benefits. 

Slide 44

In addition to antioxidants and essential fatty acids, our bodies need essential vitamins and minerals to keep all systems functioning in a healthy manner. Essential vitamins and minerals cannot be produced in the body in sufficient quantities, so we must rely on our diet to provide the body with proper nutrients. Unfortunately, most modern diets are lacking a variety of vitamins and minerals, often resulting in nutritional deficiencies. 

Microplex VMz is designed to provide us with adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals to promote optimum health, when combined with a well-balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. By using Microplex VMz with xEO Mega on a daily basis, we can help our bodies obtain the proper amount of vitamins, minerals, and omega fatty acids needed for good health. 

Slide 45

With so many powerhouse ingredients and desirable benefits, it is easy to see why Microplex VMz is a must-have product in the Lifelong Vitality Program. 

Slide 46

If you should remember one thing from this whole class, it’s that nutrition and metabolism have a synergistic effect on your health and overall wellness. 

While nutrition is the process of nutrient acquisition from your environment, metabolism is the chemical process your body uses to transform the food you eat into fuel. Studies have found persistent disturbance of nutrient metabolism or energy homeostasis—caused by either nutrient deficiency or excess—induces cellular stress, leading to metabolic dysregulation.

Remember, your metabolism influences your energy, weight, body composition, sleep, and even cognitive performance. Nutrition and metabolic support go hand in hand.

What does that mean for you? You can enjoy more energy, more stamina, improved endurance, and a clearer mind. Feel great and look great.

Slide 47

By focusing on the five pillars of good metabolic health, healthy eating, daily movement, healthy connections, stress management, and smart supplementation with the support of the MetaPWR System and the Lifelong Vitality Pack, we can truly take control of our metabolic health and enjoy health and vitality at every age.
