Meet Reisa Abercrombie

 

As a wife and mom of three kids, I was overwhelmed by all of the options available for mainstream products. The more I experience life and the more I dig, the more I have discovered that health + wellness, mind, body & soul are all intertwined.

I grew up in northern MN as the oldest of four kids. Some experiences and passions in my life led me to the Twin Cities where I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Design from Northwestern College in St Paul. I spent a few years in this field before starting my family.

My husband, Andrew, and I have been married for almost 13 years and have 3 kids – ages 10, 6, and 4. We moved from the Twin Cities to northern MN in 2022 with a desire to share a more rural, slower environment & lifestyle for our kids. We live just outside of Grand Rapids with a large garden, chickens, and acreage to explore and enjoy.

We enjoy spending time with community from our local church. In our spare time, you’ll find us in our workshop making unique cribbage boards, charcuterie boards, earrings, and other daily use products out of wood.

As we all know, we learn every day we’re alive. I have not arrived. I would like to learn alongside you and grow together. Please let me know how I can help!

Thank you in advance for your grace, support, and the opportunity to journey with you.

What Are Essential Oils?

What is CBD?

CBD is an acronym for cannabidiol. Cannabidiol, is a one of the main natural cannabinoids in the industrial hemp plant. Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that attach to the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) receptors in your body and brain. Hemp has more than 113 known cannabinoids in it. The receptors are inside the membranes of your cells in your body. Research has identified two cannabinoid receptors. CB-1 is found primarily in the nervous system, connective tissues, gonads, glands, and organs. CB-2 is mainly in the immune system and related areas.

How does CBD work?

CBD interfaces with your body's Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The ECS coordinates systems in the body like hunger, emotions, pain, recall, parts of the nervous system, etc. Endocannabinoids and their receptors are all over the body, including connective tissue, organs, brain, glands, and immune cells. The cannabinoid system performs different tasks depending on the tissue, but in all cases, homeostasis is the desired outcome.

Homeostasis refers to a system being in a stable or balanced state. It is the body's mechanism to maintain a steady internal environment, which it does by always monitoring and adjusting based on current conditions. For example, when we become stressed, our adrenal glands release cortisol. This is commonly known as the "fight or flight" hormone, which lets us react quickly in a dangerous situation.

Is CBD Safe?

CBD is considered "generally well-tolerated with a good safety profile" in a 2018 World Health Organization report. Getting your CBD from a safe, trusted company with high quality controls is very important; many CBD companies do not have adequate quality control and don't know where their product is sourced. We have one of the best quality control systems in the industry.

CBD versus THC

CBD and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, which is also in the cannabis plant) are different. Sometimes, the two are confused. CBD is not psychoactive and does not cause the euphoric side effects THC is known for. This means CBD products can be used without concern that THC would cause a reaction.

CBD and THC both bind to the CB-2 receptor while interfacing with the CB-1 receptors differently. THC's molecular composition allows it to bond directly with CB-1 receptors. When this bond is formed, the reaction creates brain signals that trigger psychoactive effects of THC. CBD does not bond directly with CB-1 receptors according to research. Its presence can invalidate the bond between THC and the CB-1 receptors, canceling side effects caused by THC.

Are hemp & marijuana the same?

No, they are different. Both plants are in the same Cannabis plant family, but hemp is completely different from marijuana in how it works, how it's grown, and how it's used.

Will CBD get me "high"?

No. CBD does not have euphoric side effects.

Reisa's First Convention

Young Living recently marked its 30th anniversary with an international convention in Utah, featuring both in-person and virtual attendance options that showcased the company’s enduring passion and dedication.

Reisa's Favorites
As night falls and the house settles, the evening routine comes to a close with each child cuddled up with their favorite stuffy. I prepare for bed after a night out. Conversations with my husband wrap up our day, and I reach for a couple of my favorites before retiring for the night.
 
The tranquility of the night is broken by a cough in my son’s bedroom. After soothing him, I return to sleep with the assurance of his improved breathing. Morning arrives, finding him well-rested and symptom-free, holding his comforting hedgehog.
 
Starting the new day, I feel rejuvenated, aided by some of my favorite YL products, and the promise of a healthier day.
