When we feel stressed, our body’s ability to heal deteriorates. Our body strives to exist in a parasympathetic state 80% of the time to bring balance to the autonomic nervous system (ANS), but most people cannot achieve the calmness they crave. ANS affects all involuntary mechanisms in the body such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, breathing, cell activity, and even body temperature. To put it simply, when one thing is even slightly off, everything feels off.

For years, Jodi Cohen found herself feeling perpetually stressed despite her healthy habits. Jodi tried everything from clean eating to consistent exercise, but she still struggled to find her calm. It wasn’t until she created an essential oil blend that Jodi could feel the calmness she craved by stimulating her parasympathetic state. This experience led Jodi to become the founder and CEO of Vibrant Blue Oils to spread the word about the healing power of essential oil blends and naturally turn on the body’s ability to heal. Jodi shares how using essential oil blends can lead to enhanced health, productivity, and strength. 

In this episode, Jodi talks to Jen about how the nervous system reacts to essential oils, what differentiates Jodi’s company from other brands, and how to choose the essential oils that are right for your body.

[13:25] “How I differentiate my company, Vibrant Blue Oils, from other companies is that I really try to make ‘done for you’ blends. I think there are a lot of wonderful companies that say you can buy all raw materials and make it yourself. I'm really speaking to the person that says, ‘I like oils and I'm happy to have you create the blend for me and tell me exactly what to do.’” ~ Jodi Cohen
