In March, 2012, Julie MacKenzie became a dōTERRA Wellness Advocate. She was delighted at the purity of the product and the instantaneous effects Helichrysum Essential Oil had on her tinnitus. She started to share essential oils with family and friends and continued to be amazed at the results. She and a few of her friends started attending trainings to learn more.
On May 19, 2014, two weeks after one of their own trainings, TeamWellPaso was born. A group of seven diverse individuals that started on their own journey, not only lose weight, but to learn to remove toxins from their bodies in order to maximize the potential of their “temples”. They started by decreasing their use of pharmaceuticals, both prescribed and over the counter, with the assistance of their physicians, of course! They replaced their medications with dōTERRA Essential Oils and supplements. Then they dropped 75% of their sugar intake; some even went “cold turkey”. Since then, they have modified their ways of living (NO more diets here, it’s a lifestyle change!) to include more vegetables, fruits, grass-fed, hormone-free cuts of meat, and good fats. They have recently incorporated live culture probiotics by making their own water kefir, which helps to improve gut health by promoting the good bacteria in the intestines.
Since the beginning of their endeavor, the group has lost 240 pounds collectively. They recognize that they are not where they ought to be, but they are beyond giving up because now they KNOW what they CAN BE!
Who are they?
John MacKenzie – the “heart” of TeamWellPaso. Upon listening to the words, “your body is your temple” during a conference, he decided to bring this group together to challenge themselves. He knew they had tried countless times to lose weight, only to be discouraged because no matter how well they ate and how much they exercised, their attempts were ineffective. He had done quite a bit of research on the internet about the different dietary techniques being used by Dr. Joseph Mercola, Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. David Perlmutter, and Dr. David Brownstein, and Tai Chi practitioner, Jeff Primack. Along with the nutrition, he also read and studied how emotions and the way you think affect your weight-loss, and overall health, from the sites of Dr. Joe Dispenza and Dr. Nelson Bradley. He brings a wealth of knowledge, energy and support to this group.
Julie MacKenzie – the “soul”. This woman is beyond amazing. In just a few years, she has touched the lives of so many people by sharing the gift of dōTERRA Essential Oils. She has helped a man with MS regain feeling in his extremities by providing Aroma Touch Technique, free of charge, on a weekly basis. She has a heart of gold! She brings compassion, energy, and spirit to this team. She is everyone's biggest cheerleader. All it takes is just one phone call or text message to/from her to get back on track. She has mentored countless dōTERRA Wellness Advocates to become leaders, presenters, and top sellers in her company. And on top of all that, she home-schools her ten year old son. She has the physique and energy of a 20 year old; she is quite an inspiration!
Sandy Karl – the “equalizer” of the group. Always level-headed, she keeps the group from veering off in unwanted directions. She can pump the group up and make them exercise and push themselves beyond their limits. Yet, she can tame them when their ideas become exuberant. In the group’s fitness endeavors, she is always first to the finish line. She pushes herself, which makes the others want to keep up. She is a silent doer, because she doesn't want the attention, but always gets things done.
Frank Marquez – “determined” is what he is, nothing or nobody will slow him down or stop him. This fellow has lost over 90 lbs. in less than a year… and he’s not done yet! He is very competitive in nature and quite outspoken, being very honest and open about his feelings in a witty way. Frank has a personality with a natural engineering mind and is always eager to learn and give his time. With this guy around, there’s never a dull moment.
Sandy Marquez – the “web guru”. This fine lady has come a long way in many aspects of her life. In her endeavor to lose weight, she has gained knowledge and love for herself through daily affirmations and the use of dōTERRA Essential Oils. At first, she was reluctant to the idea of using “those stinky oils”, but now, she is presenting classes to people wanting to learn about their uses for emotional and weight loss purposes. She is giving of her time to empower others with a passion to help, especially the skeptics, knowing that she was once a skeptic herself.
Lee Petrosky – the “nerd” of the team. As a cytotechnologist (a laboratory professional who screens cells to detect cancer), Lee brings his medical expertise to the bunch. He helps the team to understand the complex systems of the body in lay terms. He has done research on the use of essential oils and how they can be used on cancer patients to naturally enhance the body’s natural potential to heal. He is always looking out for the best he can deliver and is even starting to raise hormone and antibiotic free chickens. Also known as the "Keifer Meister", Lee is not afraid to get his hands dirty.
Lulu Petrosky – the “creative one”. Ideas are constantly flowing from her, turning our dreams/ideas into reality. She designs most of the handouts, pamphlets and announcements for our conferences and presentations. Willing to work late into the night to wrap up any loose ends, she always goes above and beyond any ones expectations. Adding exceptional creative intelligence to making events memorable, Lulu is very precise and meticulous in everything she does. She has taken our “Social Blending” booklet through 3 revisions. Lulu is also the spirtual leader of the group and keeps us all humble and grounded. She is graciously willing and eager to help and never complains. Lulu recently graduated from the Institute for the Psychology of Eating and is now a Certified Wellness Coach.
