Today Sachin welcomes Jodi Cohen, bestselling author, award-winning journalist, and founder of Vibrant Blue Oils, a top resource for essential oils online. After a #1 bestselling book, she will publish her second book, Essential Oils to Boost the Brain and Heal the Body, on March 16, 2021.

 

Jodi joins the show to talk about her upcoming Parasympathetic summit and show us how essential oils can change your health as well as your practice. She shares a host of tips and tricks to integrate essential oils in your practice, even remotely!

 

Key Takeaways:

[1:52] Sachin welcomes Jodi Cohen to the show and before diving deep into the subject, asks her to share her story.

 

[6:19] Jodi talks about the three areas of help that are most solicited recently: anxiety, stress, and sleep. She offers physiological and neurological reasons why this is occurring.

 

[9:05] Sachin plays devil’s advocate: isn’t this solution overly simple for such a complex set of problems? Jodi counterpoints with a three little pigs metaphor: would you prefer a house of straw or a house of bricks? Each action you take, no matter how simple, is an added brick to your house.

 

[14:28] Jodi talks about some recent research on the smell of roses as a great tool for grounding as well as shares some tips on parenting children in confinement as well as managing work teams in these strange times.

 

[16:02] If you’re looking for a place to start using essential oils in your practice, Jodi shares her trick to help people with anxiety along with a quick neurophysiology lesson (left nostril reaches the left frontal lobe and right nostril reaches right frontal lobe). She offers that orange or lavender in the left nostril can do wonders, or her own parasympathetic blend.

 

[19:05] Diffusers? What about chemical sensitivity? Jodi shares her twofold concerns about diffusion.

 

[21:09] Sachin offers a few ways to integrate essential oils into your practice quickly and easily as well as two other powerful tools you can use to create a better flow for your clients. Jodi jumps in with making certain detoxifying pathways are open before starting any treatment.

 

[23:14] Jodi recommends a few oils for better sleep but starts off her advice with a note on making sure you tackle the root cause of the sleeplessness before just diving in. She also emphasizes the importance of drainage in any attempt in tackling an issue.

 

[27:10] According to Jodi, breaking the ice on essential oils with your clients might start with acknowledging that most of our pharmacopeia is built around plants.

 

[28:36] Vibrant Blue Oils specializes in essential oil blends, Jodi explains why blends, and how they build their formulas. She describes lots of ways practitioners can work with their clients remotely.

 

[32:09] Jodi shares the multiple resources available to practitioners on Vibrant Blue Oils.

 

[33:20] Jodi talks about the coming summit and training on getting more parasympathetic! Who’s coming, what should you keep your eyes out for? Parasympathetic Summit.

 

[35:56] Jodi’s parting advice also comes with the reminder that her book Essential Oils to Boost the Brain and Heal the Body is coming out soon!

 

[40:00] Sachin wholeheartedly thanks Jodi for sharing so much of her expertise.
