The panel also discussed fragrance energetics, practical application techniques, and how scent can influence mood, self-worth, and emotional regulation.

Led by Aisha Harley and Dr. Josie, the discussion centred around a clinical study showing significant results in just 30 days, along with practical protocols for daily use.

From its role as a direct CB2 receptor activator to its advantages over CBD products, this episode breaks down why Copaiba is becoming a foundational tool for long-term wellness.

• Provides more targeted, effective results at smaller doses

Recommended Dosage

Why Copaiba Over CBD

• No risk of contamination (common in some CBD products)

• More direct and effective mechanism via CB2 receptors

Best Practices

In this episode of the Essential Wellness Podcast, the panel explored doTERRA's GX Assist®, a gastrointestinal cleansing formula designed to help balance microbial activity in the gut. Hosted by Aisha Harley, the conversation featured insights from Louise Rose, ND, Mica Carew, ND, LAc; Ariana Harley and Will Wan, LAc, who examined the formula from clinical, energetic, and traditional Chinese medicine perspectives.

Dr. Louise explained the antimicrobial ingredients in GX Assist and how the formula can support digestive cleansing and microbial balance when used in short cycles. The panel also explored the energetic properties of the oils, with Dr. Mica describing the blend as protective and empowering, while Ariana highlighted its connection to emotional boundaries and clearing stagnant energy.

The group discussed pulsing GX Assist protocols, including the practice of using it around the full moon, and emphasized the importance of supporting the microbiome afterward with probiotics. Panelists also shared personal experiences using GX Assist for digestive upset, travel support, Candida balance, and skin health.

The episode concluded with reminders about the Month 3 Reset Program, upcoming educational calls, and new wellness offerings designed to support the next phase of the journey.

GX Assist is designed to support microbial balance within the gastrointestinal tract.

The formula contains essential oils with antimicrobial, antifungal, and digestive-supporting properties and may help address:

• Candida overgrowth

• Digestive discomfort

• Microbial imbalances

GX Assist is typically used in short cleansing cycles of up to 10 days.

The GX Assist blend contains powerful essential oils including:

Oregano & Thyme

Strong antimicrobial support.

Tea Tree & Peppermint

"Harmonizing" oils that help balance stronger ingredients while supporting digestion.

Lemongrass & supporting botanicals

Help promote detoxification and overall gut balance.

Together these ingredients help reduce unwanted microbes while supporting healthy digestive function.

• Begin with 1 capsule and gradually increase as tolerated.

• Can be taken up to three times daily during a short cleanse cycle.

• Always follow with probiotics to replenish beneficial gut bacteria.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid GX Assist.

Some practitioners recommend pulsing GX Assist periodically rather than using it long-term.

A common strategy is using the formula around the full moon, when parasites and microbes may be more active.

Pulsing may help support the body's natural detox cycles while avoiding overuse.

The panel discussed the blend's energetic qualities, noting that GX Assist may support:

• stronger personal boundaries

• clearing stagnant emotional energy

• feelings of protection and empowerment

It was also described as supportive for calming the nervous system while building resilience.

GX Assist may be helpful for:

• digestive upset after questionable food

• travel-related stomach issues

• Candida and microbial imbalance

• skin issues such as acne connected to gut health

• short-term gut cleansing protocols

Gut health plays a foundational role in overall wellness.

Strategic cleansing—followed by proper microbiome support—can help restore balance while supporting physical, emotional, and energetic wellbeing.

In this episode of the Essential Wellness Podcast, we explored how to navigate burnout and perimenopause with practical, natural solutions. Hosted by Aisha Harley, the conversation featured Arin Fugate, Dr. Josie, Dr. Mica & Dianne DelReyes LA.c who discussed early signs of burnout, hormonal shifts, genetic detox considerations, and supportive essential oil and supplement protocols.

Arin shared her personal journey through midlife exhaustion, brain fog, sleep disruption, and weight gain — highlighting how chronic stress, caffeine reliance, post-COVID recovery, and genetic factors like MTHFR mutations compounded her symptoms. The discussion emphasized recognizing early warning signs and implementing simple, supportive habits before deeper depletion occurs.

Common early signs:

• Persistent fatigue

• Brain fog

• Sleep disturbances

• Weight gain

• Hormonal fluctuations

Perimenopause can amplify stress responses and adrenal strain. Hormone testing and lab work may offer helpful clarity.

• MTHFR mutations may impair detox pathways

• Poor detoxification can contribute to toxic metabolite buildup

• Supporting Phase 1 and Phase 2 liver pathways is especially important during hormonal shifts and post-viral recovery

• 1 drop in water daily supports hydration and liver function

• Encourages glutathione pathway activation

• Supports Phase 2 detoxification

• Simple daily ritual that may aid energy and weight balance

• Persistent hot flashes may signal ongoing imbalance

• Phytoestrogen Complex supports estrogen balance

• Turmeric Duo Caps support inflammation and mood

• Current research no longer supports earlier concerns linking soy phytoestrogens to breast cancer risk

• Often compatible with HRT (with provider guidance)

• Copaiba supports anxiety and inflammation balance

• Serenity Capsules support sleep and cortisol regulation

• Adaptive Blend supports stress resilience

• MetaPWR Advantage Recharge + Lemon can anchor a supportive morning ritual

Discussed protocol:

• Copaiba + Serenity before bed for high cortisol patterns

• Reduce caffeine reliance

• Improve sleep hygiene

• Support blood sugar balance

• Create simple morning and evening rituals

• Start with one sustainable habit

• Burnout develops gradually, not overnight

• Hormonal transitions are natural but require proactive support

• Small, consistent habits prevent long-term depletion

• Assess early burnout signs before reaching crisis

• Consider hormone testing if symptoms persist

• Implement one foundational habit (lemon water, bedtime protocol, stress support)

• Explore doTERRA wholesale membership for product access and savings

⭐ The Emotional Reset: Releasing, Regulating & Restoring Balance

In this episode of the Essential Wellness Podcast, we explore emotional wellness and how essential oils, breathwork, gentle movement, and mindset support emotional regulation throughout the reset process.

Hosted by Aisha Harley, alongside Arin Fugate, Ariana Harley, and Asha McLaughlin, this conversation blends expert insights with guided practices designed to calm the nervous system, release stored emotions, and cultivate sustainable self-care routines. The session emphasizes gentle, balanced approaches to emotional cleansing and highlights the connection between physical sensations, emotional awareness, and healing.

• Emotional wellness is a core component of the reset—not separate from physical cleansing.

• Gentle, supportive practices are more effective than extreme or forceful approaches.

• Balanced self-care helps regulate the nervous system during times of stress or change.

• Incorporating breathwork into daily routines can ease anxiety and improve sleep.

• Emotional cleansing involves bringing awareness to stored or repressed emotions.

• Physical discomfort (such as neck or shoulder tension) can signal unprocessed emotions.

• Journaling and breathwork help identify and release emotional patterns.

• The Hawaiian practice Ho'oponopono was introduced as a tool for emotional release:

• • I'm sorry

  • Please forgive me

  • Thank you

  • I love you

• Ho'oponopono may be directed toward oneself, others, or a higher power.

• Gentle movement supports emotional regulation and healing.

• Practices highlighted:

• • Qigong

  • Tai Chi

  • Restorative yoga

  • Mindful walking

• Simple movements demonstrated included shoulder rolls, neck stretches, and slow, intentional movement paired with breath.

• Returning awareness to the body can create an immediate calming effect.

• Mindful chewing (30–50 chews per bite) supports digestion and may reduce anxiety.

• Grounding practices include engaging the senses and focusing on physical awareness.

• Small, consistent practices are more sustainable than drastic lifestyle changes.

• Sleep support tools discussed:
