December 2025 - Highlights on Enzymes: Marcella's Workshop 1/2

Highlights on Enzymes:

Marcella's Workshop - Part 1



There is way, way too much to share in one newsletter. The entire time was full of mic drops. For example: massage your ears for 3 minutes. That’s equivalent in your body’s response to a 1 hour massage. 

Marcella considers herself the queen of Enzymes. We did a deep dive into enzymes
1st question: When is it best to take enzymes?
Answer: All the time!
2nd question: How many enzymes do I take?
Answer: You can’t take to many. Everyone, even children are enzyme deficient.
Read on and you will know why. 

Enzymes are LIFE GIVING and LIFE SAVING. Without enzymes life would cease to exist.
Enzymes are found in every living cell; including every animal, every human,  every plant, every form of sea life, every living creature or plants. That means enzymes are involved in EVERY PROCESS OF LIFE.
​
What are enzymes?
  • Enzymes are proteins produced by living organisms.
  • They contain amino acids.
  • ​​Enzymes are catalysts that create many essential biochemical reactions. 
  • The facilitate chemical reactions in the body.
  • Without enzymes some metabolic processes would happen very slowly or not at all. When enzymes are disrupted cells lose their ability to function. Each enzyme has a specific blueprint and specific function.
As you watch fall come with all the pretty leaves changing and getting ready to 
drop off. The enzymes in the plant are preparing the leaf to change and die. The enzymes are digesting the leaves making them change colors to get ready to decompose. Making it easier to be digested and broke down to recycle. 
Without enzymes seeds would not grow or germinate. They are food potentiators. Enzymes transport food nutrients making them available to enhance the absorption of the nutrients.

Essential oils have enzymatic like activities. Using essential oils will stimulate enzyme activity in the body. 

The ancient people learned that aging meat, by hanging it, it gave the meat a better flavor and made it more tender. The Decomposition is part of process of things breaking down to recycle. 

You are born with a bank account of enzymes. Once these enzymes are gone, they are gone! The body does not produce enzymes. The human body is designed to break down or digest approximately 50% of the food we eat. Live enzymes are supplied from raw food, as soon as we cook or process our food, we kill all the enzymes.
In addition, the soil our vegetables grow on is depleted and void of nutrients.  
​
Enzyme inhibitors: most common are: Aspirin, Tylenol, Ibuprofen, antibiotics, household cleansers, cleansing solvents, microwave radiation and heat over 120 degrees. 
Enzyme production decreases in the absence of live food.  Enzyme production decreases in the presence of stress, aging and petrochemicals. 

When our enzyme reserves start to diminish, indications that may appear include: bi-polar, cold or the flu, arthritis, allergies, sensitivities, skin disorders, autism, Parkinson's, inflammation, cancer, digestive problems, heart disease, hormone deficiencies, strokes, and even headaches.

Our magnificent bodies use over 3,000 different kinds of enzymes, all with their own job description. Within the cells of our lungs, liver, brain, and digestive system we need to have millions of enzymes to be healthy.

EVERY DAILY BIOCHEMICAL FUNCTION IN THE BODY REQUIRES ENZYMES TO:
1. Facilitate the building of compounds from the body's raw materials
2. Transport elements throughout the body
3. Break down substances such as food
4. Eliminate toxins and chemical waste in the body.
5. To stimulate the brain for memory retention and to increase memory. 
6. Deliver nutrients to the body in order to make use of the food elements.
7. Enzymes play a major role in every metabolic process in the body from glandular function and support hormone production and toxic waste disposal.
8. They facilitate digestion and assimilation. 
9. They catalyze the breakdown of the protein shell of cancer cells.
10. After digestion is completed the enzymes will break down and pass into the blood stream as amino acids becoming the building blocks in the body. 
11. Protease, amylase, and other enzymes will enter the bloodstream to clean out foreign materials such as free radicals and potential allergens, which create gluten intolerance and other allergies.

More specifically: WHAT CAN ENZYMES DO?
1. Clean clogged arteries of plaque.
2. Empty stomach of undigested fat.
3. Prevent stroke and heart attack.
4. Eliminate old fat and proteins left deposited from years, causing cardiovascular problems. (Taussig and Nepier 1979)
5. Reduces inflammation and enhance circulation 
6. Improve the immune system by improving and increasing the surface area of the red blood cell, allowing it to transport more oxygen. (1978 Sulfreurdd, Taussig-Morris). 
7. Enzymes are effective in weight regulation; overweight people are lacking in lipase.
8. Clear us rashes, exec a and other skin conditions.
9. Enzymes prevent allergies and degeneration such as: 
  • Gluten and lactose intolerance 
  • Leaky gut, acid reflux, and heartburn
  • Environmental allergens
  • colds, coughs, flu, and degenerative disease
Enzymes: the real secret to better health?
Gary talked to us often about enzymes often and it was good to be reminded as Marcella shared her passion and how important they are to our good health. Enzymes help to increase resistance to disease, improve hormones, improve sex, speed up bone, and wound healing, increase mental clarity, help digest toxins, burn fat, attach iron to the red blood cells, help us maintain youthful healthy skin, help dissolve blood clots, and are key for anti-aging.
Gary stressed to us that it is very very very important to give our precious children enzymes too so they can have a great immune system to avoid school diseases.

All this to say. If you only make one upgrade this month: choose enzymes.

​Young Living Enzymes

 Essentialzyme-4:  a multi-spectrum enzyme complex specially formulated to aid the critically needed digestion of dietary fats, proteins, fiver, and carbohydrates commonly found in the modern, processed diets. The dual time-release technology releases the animal- and plant-based enzymes at separate times within the digestive track, allowing for optimal nutrient absorption.
​
Essentialzymes-4 combines both animal- and plant-based enzymes into a single solution to help the body more completely break down problematic foods such as high fats, and excessive starch. When this occurs, the body can more readily absorb key nutrients and amino acids. The plant-based enzymes capsule is designed to release immediately upon entering the stomach, where the pH environment is board, acidic, and conducive to plant-based enzyme breakdown and proper absorption. The animal-based capsule is formulated to delay its release in the lower intestine region, where the environment is more alkaline and the pH level is better suited for animal-based enzyme breakdown and proper absorption. ​
​
  • When consumed with meals, Essentialzymes-4 provides key digestive enzyme groups needed for the proper breakdown of fats, proteins, fiber, carbohydrates, and processed foods.
  • ​​Formulated to support a more complete digestive cycle.
  • Daily use enhances nutrient absorption, unlocks food minerals, improves critical energy uptake derived from food, and supports the generation of vital amino acids needed for healthy cells and organs.
  • ​​Each capsule is infused with essential oils such as lemongrass (which is use in many teas to soothe the minor digestive discomfort.). ginger, and fennel to soothe the and assist with minor intestinal discomfort.* (Fennel is listed on one of the oldest known medical records, the Ebers Papyrs, that dates from the 16th Century B.C.)
*These statements have not been evaluated by the food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
​
 Detoxzyme: A vegetable enzyme complex designed to promote detoxification of the body. Combines essential oils with enzymes designed to digest starches, sugars, proteins, and fats. This formula is structured with trace minerals that help the body detoxify itself, reducing, cholesterol and triglycerides., It helps in opening the gallbladder duct and cleansing the liver, preventing candida and yeast overgrowth, and promoting general detoxification

The formula facilitates optimal absorption of nutrients from foods and supplements, delays the aging process, and maintains optimal energy levels. It also helps to regulate the pH level and reduce acidification and parasite colonization and infestation.
​
Detoxyzme also contains phytase, and enzyme essential for people eating vegetarian diets. Phytase, an enzyme essential for people eating vegetarian diets. Phytase is crucial for unlocking the mineral content of many grains, nuts, seeds, and 
other foods which contain high levels of essential minerals that are unavailable to the human body because they are bound up in insoluble indigestible phytate complexes. Up to 90% of the magnesium, potassium and zinc in foods like barley, cashews, walnuts, and rice is irreversibly tied up by phytic acid and cannot be absorbed by the digestive system. 
Thus the phytase in Detoxyzme results in a huge boost in mineral absorption from diets high in nuts, seeds, and whole grains.
​
*The benefits of essential minerals to human health cannot be overemphasized. Magnesium is crucial for blood pressure regulation and antioxidant production, zinc is critical for normal immune function, and potassium is vital for blood pressure and water balance and is found inside of every cell in the bodycells. It works best when combined with Detoxzyme.
​

KidScents MightyZyme Chewable: A delicious high-powered vegetable enzyme complex for children. Includes enzymes to digests proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Also includes folic acid and peppermint oil to enhance digestion

​

 Allerzyme: Contains essential oils: Tarragon, Ginger, Peppermint, Juniper, Fennel, 
Lemongrass, Anise, Patchouli 
  • Complex blend of enzymes, complementary botanicals, Ginger, Peppermint, and other essential oils that support proper digestion, waste elimination, and nutrient utilization.
  • Unique enzymes: malt diastase which helps break down carbohydrates.
  • Supports healthy respiration.
  • Allerzyme is a vegetarian enzyme complex that was specifically designed for sensitivities and allergies.

    Final words, enzymes can be a huge support in total health. When you are experiencing  anything from a runny nose to addictions and anything in between such as emotional intolerance, skin sensitivities, runny nose, allergies, gas, belching, excess weight, and disease: all indicate the need for enzymes on a cellular level. 

Reminder. 
To aid the body in digestion and assimilation: take enzymes with food. 
To aid the body in every other way: take enzymes away from food.

The Turtle Story 
I run on the weekends in a park near my house, where a lake sits in one corner. I always see an elderly woman with a small metal cage sitting by the lake.
Last Sunday I couldn’t resist so I stopped jogging and approached her. As I got closer, I saw that the metal cage was a small trap, holding three turtles. To my surprise, she was carefully scrubbing a fourth turtle in her lap with a spongy brush.
“Hello,” I said. “I’ve seen you here every Sunday. What are you doing with these turtles?”
She smiled. “I clean their shells. Algae and scum on a turtle’s shell reduce its ability to absorb heat and swim. They can also corrode and weaken the shell over time.”
Her dedication impressed me. “That’s really kind of you!”
She explained, “I spend a couple of hours each Sunday morning relaxing by this lake. I help these little guys.” It could sound small but it’s my way of giving something without anything in return.”
I asked, “But don’t most freshwater turtles live with algae and scum on their shells?”
“Yes, sadly, they do,” she replied.
So again I asked. “Could you spend your time better? I mean, there are freshwater turtles everywhere, and 99% of them don’t have kind people to help them. So, how do your efforts here truly make a difference?”
The woman chuckled out loud. She gazed at the turtle in her lap and said, “If this little dude could talk, he’d tell how I made a difference for him.”
