In this episode of Becoming Natural, we explore oregano oil benefits through a food-first, faith-centered lens, separating what science actually supports from modern hype.You’ll learn how oregano has traditionally been used as daily nourishment, when oregano oil can be helpful as a short-term tool, and why digestion, bile flow, and bitters matter more than most people realize. We also talk about safe ways to use oregano—as food, tea, steam, topical support, or oil—along with important red flags and quality markers to look for when choosing a product.This conversation isn’t about replacing doctors or fearing medicine. It’s about remembering that God built quiet support into creation and that prevention often begins with consistency, not intensity.Island Oregano OilYoung Living Oregano OilGaia Oregano Oil CapsulesGarden of Life Oregano Oil DropsAsakuki BPA-FREE Essential Oil DiffuserCeramic Essential Oil DiffuserGlass Essential Oil DiffuserSize 0 Vegan CapsulesHosted by Penelope SamplerNatural Wellness • Chronic Illness Journey • Faith & Wellness📩 Join the Email List🛒 My Trusted Resources Contains affiliate links.

It’s about returning to food that cooperates with the body, honors God’s design, and invites us to slow down — one simple change at a time.Hosted by Penelope SamplerNatural Wellness • Chronic Illness Journey • Faith & Wellness📩 Join the Email List🛒 My Trusted Resources Contains affiliate links.

No shame. No alarm bells.

Now listen… this time of year can feel heavy. The days get darker, our schedules get fuller, and our bodies kind of whisper “I need a minute.”
Red light therapy is like sunlight’s warm encouragement, without the UV. It reminds your cells how to breathe again. And I don’t mean that in a fluffy wellness-speak way. I mean literally — red light helps your mitochondria do what God designed them to do: make energy, repair tissue, reduce inflammation. Your body is incredibly wise. Sometimes it just needs a little nudge of light.
Here’s what I notice when I use mine:
My skin looks more alive again. Not filtered. Not complicated. Just… awake.
Stiff joints? They don’t grip me as hard in the morning.
Energy + mood? It gives me the exhale I didn’t realize I was holding.
And if you’re a mom, an athlete, or honestly just a woman awake in 2025… you don’t have time to feel sore or drained for days. This is a gentle, daily reset.
6–12 minutes — right in your home — and you feel it.

Inflammation: The Surprise Hidden Load Really Draining Your Body

Read the full episode + resources here:https://becomingnatural.com/folate-vs-folic-acid/Folate vs Folic Acid — Two names that sound the same, yet lead the body in very different directions. Today, we’re slowing down to understand why this matters, especially for women. Our bodies were designed to use folate — Vitamin B9 found in leafy greens, lentils, eggs, citrus, and liver. But most processed foods and many prenatal vitamins use folic acid, a synthetic form that must be converted before the body can use it. And for up to 40–60% of women, that conversion doesn’t happen efficiently.This episode explains what happens when folic acid builds up in the bloodstream, why methylation (your body’s “on/off switch”) matters for hormones, mood, detox, fertility, and nervous system health, and what to do if your body has been quietly struggling to keep up.This is not about panic, perfection, or pressure. It’s about recognizing that your body is brilliantly designed — and sometimes it simply needs nutrients in the form God originally created.We’ll explore:Folate vs folic acid (what’s the difference?)The MTHFR gene and why conversion mattersGentle ways to support methylation without overwhelmFoods rich in natural folate you can begin adding todayYou are not behind.
