Dr. Pompa:
Essential oils, a lot of you have questions, but we nail a topic that I’ve been excited to do a show about: sympathetic and parasympathetic balance or imbalance in so many cases. What does it cause: anxiety, sleep problem, digestive issues, constipation, slow and fast digestion, all of these things and so much more, just hormonal imbalance, period? We talk about a simple way to break your body out of this imbalance, and then we go beyond it. We went into hormones, and we went into the simple ways to use certain essential oils to elevate immune system, to balance hormones, and even we talked about chemical sensitivity, all in this episode of CellTV. Check it out.
Ashley:
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Cellular Healing TV. I’m Ashley Smith, and today we welcome the lovely Jodi Cohen. She’s a best-selling author, award-winning journalist, functional practitioner, and she’s the founder of Vibrant Blue Oils. Jodi will discuss how essential oils can help activate your parasympathetic nervous system, support drainage pathways for detox, enhance sleep and energy, and modulate your immune system. This is a topic I cannot wait to hear more about, so let’s get started and welcome Jodi Cohen and, of course, Dr. Pompa. Welcome, both of you.
Jodi:
Oh, thank you for having me.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, no, look, we’ve had so many questions about what essential oils does Dr. Pompa use? I use these and also more about them in general. We’re going to get to that. I think these topics—I was so excited to do a show on the sympathetic balance, or I should say imbalance for many people. It really is a problem. It affects your sleep. It affects your immune system. It affects how you detox. It affects your hormones dramatically.
People get stuck in sympathetic, and that could be a problem. People even get stuck in parasympathetic. Let’s bring some light to that topic, and we’re going to answer the questions of what oils do I use for detoxification? Which ones can I use for the balance of my hormones? We’re going to get into that, but let’s start with this sympathetic, parasympathetic conversation because it’s something you know a lot about. What am I talking about? First of all, you might want to define what the parasympathetic versus the sympathetic is, and then why this balance is so important.
Jodi:
Right, it’s about your autonomic nervous system, which controls your automatic functions. Like you mentioned, it’s digestion. It’s your heart rate. It’s breathing. It’s detoxification. It’s reducing inflammation, turning on immunity. Your nervous system has two gears. It’s got the I’m in danger. I need to channel resources to keeping me alive, which means routing blood flow to my arms and legs so I can run faster. Dilating my pupils so I can see better.
Dr. Pompa:
Fight or flight.
Jodi:
Exactly, and everything that’s not critical to surviving in that moment gets shutdown, which includes your ability to digest, absorb, and assimilate your nutrients, your ability to detoxify, your immune system turning on, and ideally, you stay in that fight or flight state when the danger is occurring. The danger passes, and then it’s almost like a gear shift or a break. You then activate your parasympathetic nervous system where blood is routed back to the heart, the lungs, the kidneys, the liver, the gallbladder, the intestines. The moving walkway of digestion turns back on, and you’re able to heal and recover. What happens, sadly, is that many people get stuck in that sympathetic state. Not just from physical danger but from anticipatory stress. You’re worrying that you might lose a job, that a relationship might shift, that your health might be failing. There are so many thoughts that trigger the same chemical messages to brain.
Dr. Pompa:
Jodi, I want to add too that, some people, it’s not thoughts. They’re so toxic that chemicals keep them in that state.
Jodi:
Yes.
Dr. Pompa:
That was me, right? I was like I’m not worried about anything. I was yet in the—stuck in the sympathetic dominant state. My digestion was affected. My sleep was affected, anxiety, and I was stuck there. Thoughts can do it. Chemicals can do it. Once you’re stuck there, bad things happen.
Jodi:
Yeah, you’re right. It really is a vicious cycle, and people don’t realize that toxins turn on your immune system the same way pathogens do. Yeah, so there are a lot of things. What’s lovely about the work you do and what I’m hoping this adds to the equation is that you can hit it from a number of sides. It’s not like, oh, I want to lose weight. I’m going to diet or exercise. You can diet and exercise, and then you get the results faster.
What’s interesting about these two states of the nervous system, parasympathetic and sympathetic, is that it’s this one important nerve, your vagus nerve, cranial nerve 10, that serves as the gear shift between these two states. It starts at the very back of the head, splits, winds around both sides, and is most accessible to the surface right behind your earlobe on that bone, the mastoid bone. Then it winds through your face, your larynx, your heart, your lungs, your—every organ of digestion and elimination, and it can be activated, stimulated to shift into that parasympathetic gear at any point that it accesses. You can use deep breathing to activate it. You can use coffee enemas by stimulating the gallbladder to activate it. You can splash your face with freezing water. You can hum. You can chant. You can use a tongue depressor.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, gargle.
Jodi:
Exactly, gargling is great. I found in my practice compliance was really limited. Coffee enemas scare people. Deep breathing feels like a lot of work, and so I started looking at research. There is a neuroscientist out of New York named Kevin Tracey. He did a pacemaker, like electrical implant right behind the ear on that mastoid bone and was using it to stimulate the vagus nerve to activate the parasympathetic state. He was getting really impressive results and calming inflammation. The FDA actually certified this for epilepsy and depression.
As inviting as invasive surgery sounds, I realized that stimulatory essential oils, like I use a blend of clove and lime, can actually stimulate the area in the same way. A lot of people combine oils and acupuncture because they can stimulate meridian points, but it just felt like an easier, less invasive hack that you can use, especially if digestion is compromised and it’s hard to take hydrochloric acid or supplements for stomach acid. It just felt really easy and noninvasive.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, and you just simply rub it on the spot, yeah.
Jodi:
Yeah.
Dr. Pompa:
How many times a day do you find people need to do it? I know, the people helped that I said try it before bed, it was—but does it help to do it more often?
Jodi:
Yeah, and I think it’s the kind of thing like your products. Once you recognize, oh, my God, I feel so much better, you take them like clockwork. When you’re starting out, if you’ve never tried it before, leave it by your toothbrush. Do it first thing in the morning and before bed. As you start to realize, oh, I feel better when I do this, maybe consider doing it before meals to trigger. Your parasympathetic state activates the normal digestive cascade. Then, if you’re highly anxious like a lot of people are right now, you can do it whenever you need it.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, do you have the oil there?
Jodi:
I do. It’s right here.
Dr. Pompa:
Hold it up, yeah. It’s a little fuzzy, but it says Parasympathetic along the bottom. I know because I have it. Yeah, so it’s not hard to screw that one up. Anyways, you just apply it right there. Just a couple drops.
Jodi:
Yeah, I mean, as you know because you’re an expert in toxicity, anything that you put on your skin gets into your system within 20 minutes, so it gets in really quickly, almost faster than digestion.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, absolutely, I think that’s one of the benefits about essential oils is that they’re right into your bloodstream extremely quick, so therefore, it has an effect. That nerve’s right under there, and one of the things that it goes to is right into the nerve itself. Tell me this. When we look at parasympathetic, I would be asking the question how do I know if I’m stuck in sympathetic and not going back and forth normally from parasympathetic to sympathetic? How do I know?
Jodi:
Yeah, I mean, so many of us are so anxious, adrenalized that we don’t necessarily know. The symptoms would be like caffeinated. Your heart might be beating faster. You might perspire more regularly. It might be harder for you to slow down. When you are going to bed, you might be the type that lies awake, and it takes a while to calm your system and get to sleep. Your digestion might either run really fast or really slow. Constipation is a common symptom, any of the gallbladder symptoms like motion sickness, getting mild headaches above the eyes, any kind of liver symptoms. If you drink alcohol and then you wake up at 3 in the morning because it just takes longer for you to detoxify, or if you eat something really fatty and you just don’t feel great, so you start to avoid meat or fat. Also, having a dry mouth, like being thirsty often or having dry eyes, those are all symptoms of being stuck in that chronic sympathetic state.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, those are great that you give. It’s very specific details there, all right. Then the other thing too is I would—obviously, parasympathetic runs into digestion, and a lot of people have digestive problems. How often do you see that they could just simply stimulate this area with an essential oil, and all of a sudden, their digestion’s better or their sleeps better? What is this connection?
Jodi:
Almost 100% of the time. It’s funny. I started using it in my practice with kids with constipation. MiraLax is a lot, and the parents would tell me it was like they had to basically put it on when they were already in the bathroom. Boom! The moving walkway suddenly turned on and things are moving. The stomach is rumbling. If you suffer from—tinnitus is a good one that we can get into. It seems to calm the pain really quickly. If you’re suffering from acid reflux or GERD, you feel better.
It’s a pretty quick—it’s literally like shifting gears on a bike. You’re in high gear. You’re going up a hill. It feels hard. You downshift, and it’s manageable. You can feel it pretty immediately.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, that’s great. Let’s try to hit some other things because essential oils can have a pretty immediate effect, right?
Jodi:
Yes.
Dr. Pompa:
Hormonally so a woman going through perimenopause, menopause, maybe they have hot flashes. They just don’t feel well. What are some of the best oils?
Jodi:
Yeah, I mean, as you know because toxicity is your core focus, I think that hormones are usually related to too much toxicity and just helping the gallbladder especially move estrogen out of the system so it doesn’t get reabsorbed, and so we have oils that really help with—compliment what you do.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, let’s talk about—that was my next question is how do we assist the detox for what I do? Let’s talk about those oils.
Jodi:
As I learned from you, the toxins go from the cell to the lymph, to the blood, to the liver, gallbladder, gut, toilet, and at any point, it can get congested. One of the biggest challenges at least in my practice was lymph. You have to move your body. What’s wonderful about oils, they basically help the plant to move fluids. The water is in the roots, and somehow it gets to the leaves. It helps to constrict ebb and flow. You can use oils along your neck, especially the clavicles, under the arms, along the bikini line, all of the points where the lymph really gets congested to help expedite flow.
I’ve noticed even in competitor supplements. They always seem to include oils. There’s something about the oils that activate the lymph. Out of all the drainage products that I offer, I actually think that is the most effective and the hardest to hit through other remedies. I mean, you have good remedies.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, and your product says Lymph on it. I don’t know if you have it, but it makes it easy, right?
Jodi:
Yeah.
Dr. Pompa:
We just did a few shows on lymph and how to move lymph utilizing the oil during the process that we taught, so go back and watch the episode. Ashley will put the episode here up on the screen, and you can utilize the oil in that fashion. You clear here first. Then you go up to this point, and then you go down into this point. Anyway, there’s a process and a system to actually clearing the lymph, but the oil just makes it that much better. I’m curious.
Jodi:
That’s great.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, check out the show. It’s a great show.
Jodi:
I would love to.
Dr. Pompa:
The oil works perfectly with that. What oils are in the Lymph product? I like the fact you just call it Lymph because that’s how I know.
Jodi:
Yeah, it’s a lot—it’s a combination. It’s got vitex, which is really interesting. It’s known for hormones, but what it really does is it helps to move things. Then it has spearmint, which everyone thinks as the mints as being stimulatory and moving things. I kept expecting peppermint to test well, but spearmint tests better. It’s basically a combination of oils that help both with movement and drainage. To your point, the hydraulic system of the body, if there’s congestions in the clavicle, then you can’t drain in the neck. That whole intention is to start from exactly what you’re doing, from the bottom up and unravel and clear.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, that’s awesome. Give me some other oils or products that you have that help the detox as well. Lymph’s just one aspect.
Jodi:
Lymph’s is one aspect, and then what I started to find is I feel like there’s a blueprint of the body like what healthy cells are supposed to do. I started to recognize that plants and humans have bio familiar blueprints. Oils are the concentrated essence of plants, and you can combine them to match the blueprint of healthy organ tissue. What I do when I practice is I try to put the body in balance so that it just heals itself, which is what—I love your products. I think that’s what you do as well, and so we have a blend for the gallbladder and for the liver.
Basically, it’s a little bit like if you’re thinking of teaching a kid to ride a bike. It’s a weird experience. They’re side to side. They’re moving forward, so you give them training wheels, or your help spot them. It’s this interesting combination of your body remembering how it’s supposed to function, and then it doesn’t need the support anymore. That’s what these oils are designed to do. They’re an overlay that put the right blueprint in place so that the body can then remember how to function, and it works even better if you combine it with your protocol.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, I think that was part of my question is why do these oils work so well? Why do they work so fast? Obviously, we talked about how quick the absorption is, but you’re saying there’s a whole ‘nother aspect of this blueprint.
Jodi:
Yeah, I spent a year writing this book, Essential Oils to Boost the Brain and Health the Body, and looking at all…
Dr. Pompa:
You released in March, right?
Jodi:
In March, yeah, and it was interesting because most of the oil research was on blends. When you combine things, they work differently than when you use them in isolation. A lot of your products are combinations. You take the certain pills at this time together. When you combine them, there is a synergy that occurs, and so that’s what I’ve really been trying to do with the blends. I actually love your protocol. I’m a huge CytoDetox fan. I play with different formulas. When I use the Lymph, I think, because it’s so powerful, it mobilizes things so quickly that the more you can open up the drainage as you do it the less likely you are to feel any symptoms.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, really, it makes such a difference. Keeping the drainage open is always a battle with detox. You’ve really come up with some products that people love and help them very, very much. When we talk about hormones, I mean, there’s a lot of essential oils that bring balance to the adrenals, and I know you have a great adrenal product that everybody likes, right?
Jodi:
Yeah.
Dr. Pompa:
Talk about some of those formulas as well because I know that’s—people ask the question.
Jodi:
Yeah, those are the two areas for hormones that I look at: detox support and then your endocrine system. The adrenals are part of the endocrine system, as your listeners probably know. That’s controlled by the hypothalamus. It’s the hypothalamus that’s always gauging your temperature, your blood sugar, everything, and then it sends signals. The hypothalamus is the CEO. It signals the pituitary, which is the chief operating officer, and then signals your adrenals to release cortisol or your thyroid to release hormone. That information then loops back, and the hypothalamus registers it.
We try to hit it from two sides. We basically have a remedy that helps to balance the adrenals. It works like adaptogenic herbs. I think that sometimes when people are really chronically ill plant remedies work really well because they meet you where you’re at. It’s not like you’re trying to—cortisol, anyone who’s taken a 24 hour saliva test, it’s not like you’re flatlined. It’s that it spikes sometimes at the wrong time and is too low at the wrong time. You can either guesswork. Do I need to stimulate or sedate at this point, or you can take something that just levels you out. If you’re too high, it brings you down to normal. If you’re too low, it brings you up. I think plants do that, so that’s what our Adrenal blend does.
Then we have a Hypothalamus blend, and this is where oils are really magically. They’re fabulous topically, but what’s really challenging is getting anything into the brain, as you know, because it has super small fat soluble molecules, which I suspect is why your CytoDetox formula is organized the way it is. You need to have the right key to unlock that pathway, and the fastest way to get things to the hypothalamus are literally to smell them or topically apply them. We’ve created a blend that—I call it the reboot to factory settings. If your hypothalamus is getting inundated from all these signals and it—like your phone glitches a little bit. Maybe your cortisone levels are sky high. Your hypothalamus isn’t really recognizing it, so your adrenals continue to pump out hormones. It’s just an equalizer and a balancing act.
Dr. Pompa:
Do you like to give the Adrenal? Your bottle says Adrenal right on it.
Jodi:
Yeah.
Dr. Pompa:
Then the Hypothalamus, do you like to do them both together?
Jodi:
Yeah, I do.
Dr. Pompa:
I always draw up the Hypothalamus just directly right there.
Jodi:
That’s perfect, yeah. No, that’s a great spot.
Dr. Pompa:
You can put it here. I don’t know. To me, it’s right there.
Jodi:
No, and the other part, we have a Circadian Rhythm blend that’s great for releasing melatonin. Your skin is the thinnest right above your ear on your skin there, so that’s a really easy access point also.
Dr. Pompa:
You answered one of my questions there. Generally, where do you like to put the oils? We’re talking about specific spots, but generally, that’s one of them. Do you have another one?
Jodi:
I mean, the safest spot for anyone who doesn’t know what they’re doing is the bottom of the feet for two reasons. The skin is very thick. Some oils are considered hot like oregano, thyme, cinnamon, peppermint, which means that they could feel hot on your skin, or it can make it a little red. It could feel reactive. The bottom of your feet, the skin is thicker, so you won’t react there. Then it’s also replete with all of these reflux points, so it can get into your system really quickly. If you’re a beginner, you don’t want to make a mistake. That’s a great place to start.
Then other places, you can—it’s funny. Where we put perfume, like on the wrist, behind the ears, those tend to be points where the skin is thinner and the circulation is stronger, so it gets into your system really quickly. I have this hypothesis that perfume really derived from essential oil usage. For these blends, like for the lymph, we really encourage all the points that you mentioned just to activate, to basically have the oil work with your natural body system or the vagus nerve, the parasympathetic here, the adrenals, over the adrenal gland, the liver and gallbladder, under the right breast, yeah, over the liver and gallbladder.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, so that makes complete sense. What are some of the combinations that you love just together that you’ve seen, man, just transform people?
Jodi:
Yeah, I love clove and lime. The citrus blends are really interesting. They’re really great for lifting mood, lifting energy, and also, there’s a lot of research on D-limonene, which has a glutathione components, which are really powerful for detox. There are some blends that combine lime and grapefruit and orange and especially if you’re new to oils. You don’t necessarily know where to start.
Oh, another great application trick, especially now with what’s happening in the world—as you probably know, different hemispheres of your brain do different things. Our colleague, Titus Chiu, taught me that, when you’re having an anxiety attack, that is your right frontal lobe overactivating. To balance the two hemispheres, you want to do something to stimulate the left frontal lobe, and the easiest way to do that is just to smell something through your left nostril. Just plug your right nostril. Smell through your left. The easiest oil to try is orange. It’s the least expensive of the citrus oils. Most people like it, and it’s pretty affordable. You can just carry that in your purse if you’re prone to anxiety, or anxiousness, or any of those traits.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, that’s great advice. Anxiety is a big one. Right now, I would say—right now we have a lot of depression and anxiety, so that’s great advice. I would even ask you more specifically is there anything else they can do for depression? I also want to talk about immunity right now because everyone is running in fear so depression and immunity.
Jodi:
Yeah, so it’s interesting. In my book, I covered a lot of research. The two parts of your brain that are at play with anxiety and depression are the amygdala, which is the fear center, which when you smell something, that’s completely where it goes. Then it correlates with your prefrontal cortex behind your forehead, which is the decision-making component. The way it’s supposed to unfold is you’re walking in the woods. You think you see a snake. Your amygdala has you jump back. Then it checks in with your frontal cortex, and it says, no, it’s a stick. You’re fine.
Both anxiety and depression are correlated to underactivity of the frontal cortex, so anything you can do to draw energy there helps to stimulate the frontal cortex, calm depression and anxiety. Smelling is the easiest way to access that because the olfactory bulb goes directly to the forehead, so it’s just the fastest, easiest way.
Dr. Pompa:
Right, wow, it’s amazing how the brain works, right?
Jodi:
Yeah.
Dr. Pompa:
I was very chemically sensitive at one point. After I got well, I was left with more sensitivity because my amygdala was saying lion on every chemical I would smell, and it would go, okay, don’t worry. We’re going to save your life. I’d get this horrible reaction, and I literally had to retrain my frontal lobe, the cortex, to say, okay, it’s okay. This lion’s not going to kill you. It took some time to do that, but I wonder if I would’ve been faster in my process with utilizing smells. It took the brain…
Jodi:
After Max died, I had similar things, and that was what I very—it was interesting. I would very intentionally smell things. Writing this book required such hyperfocus. Certain things that terrified me, like we went ziplining over the—I intentionally stepped into things that scared me because it required me to focus more, and I felt like every time I did something that felt hard I felt a little bit better.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, interesting. Yeah, no, I mean, it was, literally, I had to reprogram my brain. Again, it wasn’t like I thought they were going to hurt me. I didn’t want to be affected. It was like I’d sit in a cab, and someone had perfume on or an air freshener. It’d be like my brain shut off immediately.
Jodi:
Yeah, no, in the shopping malls, those candles, the candle stores…
Dr. Pompa:
I couldn’t even go near those things.
Jodi:
I know. There was one exercise store that I like. I’d just stop going there because it was too much.
Dr. Pompa:
One of the things, though, is—I know I have people out there that have chemical sensitivity, but you can utilize the essential oil, especially one like you said. The citrus I think you said.
Jodi:
Yeah.
Dr. Pompa:
You can use anchors, positive anchors to retrain a negative anchor. You can literally short circuit it by taking—you have to carry it with you, especially when you’re out and about and potentially getting exposed by a smell, but you could literally short circuit it faster than even your thought because that goes right to the cortex.
Jodi:
It also correlates with parasympathetic. A Tuft’s researcher, Michael [VanEckler], came up with this theory called vagus nerve infection hypothesis. What it basically is is, if there’s a minor infection or problem with vagus nerve signaling, it keeps you stuck in cell danger response. What does our body do? This gets into the immune system when it thinks it’s in danger. It makes us tired, chronic fatigue syndrome. It makes us achy so we don’t move, fibromyalgia. It makes us sensitive to things so we’re careful, multi-chemical sensitivity. There’s a lot of research that as you start to, like any muscle, activate your vagus nerve, stimulate your vagus nerve, those other symptoms start to fall away.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, wow, that’s great advice. I know people are going to take that advice. What makes your oils—you put a line of oils together for a reason. I mean, look, there’s Young Living. There’s doTERRA. Why yours?
Jodi:
I didn’t really know about all of them when I started. I just had a vision of what I wanted to do, but the one thing that I think makes mine different, I really care about making sure they’re organic. They’re highly concentrated, and so if they’re coated with pesticides or herbicides, then that’s highly concentrated pesticides. That just didn’t feel clean to me.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, hold on. My sound just did its thing. Hold on.
Jodi:
Oh, okay.
Dr. Pompa:
My dog must’ve hit it, sorry.
Jodi:
Oh, you’re okay. My dog does that sometimes too.
Dr. Pompa:
There you go. All right, sorry about that.
Jodi:
Do you want me to repeat that?
Dr. Pompa:
No, your sound was fine.
Jodi:
Okay, great.
Dr. Pompa:
She’ll just cut mine a little.
Jodi:
Did you want me to talk about immunity?
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, let’s talk about immunity, yeah, so people are running in fear today. What about immunity?
Jodi:
It’s really interesting. There’s this popular blend that both Young Living and doTERRA have called Thieves, and the story behind it is that during the bubonic plague there were thieves that were stealing the gold teeth out of the dead people’s mouths and not getting sick. When they were finally apprehended, everyone wanted to know. We’re all six feet apart. You’re putting your hand in someone’s mouth, which is like the germiest part of the body, and you’re fine. It turned out it was a combination of those hot oils that I mentioned, the oregano, the thyme, clove, nutmeg, eucalyptus, ravensara, that they were putting in their masks and inhaling it.
I find that so interesting. Cypress actually keeps testing. Everyone’s concerned about COVID and the idea that it can get into your system and cause a cytokine storm. What they don’t realize is that the first stop is the lung. If the lung barrier is strong, it stops at the lung. It doesn’t go any further. Things like Cypress oil are really good for just fortifying the lungs and make sure the buck stops there. The army’s approaching. The moat is full, and there are alligators. They’re not crossing. They’re not getting into the castle.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, right, I mean, those combinations have worked so well for so many years. I’ll tell you another thing I like about your products is it’s just so much easier and more affordable than having to do the network marketing thing, just being able to buy the oils direct.
Jodi:
Yeah, thank you.
Dr. Pompa:
One of the things I like about it, honestly.
Jodi:
I’m not much of a do-it-yourself girl. So many of the people that find me are chronically ill, and they’ve invested so much time, energy, and money in things. Some that worked well like your products. Some that were disappointing. They just don’t want to do it wrong, and so they like the idea I have made it for you. I’m going to tell you exactly how to use it. If you have any questions, you can email me. I’ll put together a video for you. I want to take the guesswork out of it and just make it easy.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, we appreciate it, and we appreciate the special that you’re offering. The link is below folks, so it makes it even easier for people to try the products. I think that, when people do, they’ll come up with their favorites just like you and I did. They’ll come up with the ones that I have to have this one. How many are in your line? How many products?
Jodi:
I have too many. I have 50, but the reality is I can tell you—no, the five that sell the most are the Parasympathetic for stimulating the vagus nerve, Adrenal for stress, Circadian Rhythm for sleep, Lymph for drainage, and then the Immune Support blend. Then the other ones that sell really well, people really like the Nerve Repair, which is great for pain, especially my athletes, and then Anti-Inflammatory, which helps with everything.
Dr. Pompa:
There you go. That’s exactly what people probably needed to hear. Obviously, we covered most of those. Jodi, thank you for the product. Thank you for coming on Cellular Healing TV. The products are a blessing to so many people, and you made it easy, honestly.
Jodi:
Thank you for your—you have such great detoxification products. I’m so grateful.
Dr. Pompa:
The combination of all of it is—it works. A lot of people can testify to that, so thanks for coming on.
