Hi, friend. Welcome back to the Dutera podcast. I'm your host, Jared Auger, and today we're getting into something very timely, seasonal immune support, especially as we head back into school, our school routines, and into this really going to shift into the colder months. We're diving into the science behind on-guard essential oil as well as our on-guard soft gels.

Two of our immune superpowers in the Dutera lineup.

Joining me today is Lauren Bush, our director of product education, nurse, mother, essential oil lover.

Yes.

How is that?

I like it.

That sounds pretty good.

Welcome with us today.

I am so excited to be here. This is definitely one of our family's favorite collection around one of our favorite essential oil blends. Yeah, I love how it's now infused in so many different products. It makes it easy to use. So let's jump into the first question. So as we think about, you know, on guard, and you think about

all the products that there are, what makes it important for this time, this season, back to

school, changing into fall wintertime? Yeah, I'd say first is it's that time of transition. And

anytime that there's transitions, sometimes our bodies are like, hey, I don't really understand what's going on. It gets a little bit stressed. And our immune system goes, I'm not really sure what's going on either. And so we need any extra support to kind of help us in the transition of seasons, transition of schedules. We've gone from summer, play all day to back first thing in the morning. We're getting up. We're getting out the door. That can cause a little bit of extra stress. From a parent perspective, from a teenager

perspective, kids, depending on what ages you have going. And then you're heading back into an

environment where we're spending more time indoors, which means the air's not cleaning out.

It's like a total shift in what we're doing. Absolutely. And I think sometimes when we think of immune system, we always think of defense mood,

which is why being named on guard is really, really great. We are on guard. We are protecting ourselves.

There's a lot of different functions that our immune system is responsible for.

Yeah. And maybe just a little side note here is this is why it's

so important that we have our foundational wellness supplements too to pair with the on guard oil.

But our bodies need that driving force to carry out some of those actions, the vitamin D, C,

etc. They said they did a calculation and it's 37 billion trillion cellular reactions

happen every single second. And every single one of those cellular reactions require an enzyme
