who wants more toxins on their skin?

11/2/2019

It is disheartening! Many of the skin 'care' lines out there are dis-servicing us rather than caring for our skin, the largest organ in our body and through which many chemicals,and toxins are absorbed.
You may believe that what you are paying for (and sometimes steep prices) is indeed protecting your microbiome (yes, we do have protective bacteria on our skin!) and therefore being 'green' and nourishing.

Be careful.

After looking around for a clean, bioidentical (natural) line and almost frustrated, I met Dr. Karina Kaplun PhD through my Summit Conquering Fibromyalgia! She introduced me to this microbiome friendly, super special, unique and revolutionary line (I am not exxagerating) called Tru Aura, and I was sold immediately.

t

Why?
It is the first company that combines the following three:
#1 Pre and Probiotics- the latest in Green Technology Probiotics is the Foundation of all their products
#2 Clean, Pure & Safe- They abide by a strict European "no" list including no sulfate, no gluten, no parabens, no artificial dyes or fragances and never tested on animals!
#3 Anti-aging Peptides- Tru Aura have three of the most powerful anti-aging peptides in the industry that reverse skin damage very quickly !

Instead, you will get essential oil blends as aromas, lots of superior antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, essential fatty acids (did you know Safflower Oil helps increasing ceramides in your skin?) and many more to list here!

Hope you are sold like me already.. you owe it to yourself! Start nourishing your skin (did I say anti-aging too?), and reducing loads of yacky stuff to your body. By trying and shifting to this incredible skin line, especially if you suffer from auto-immune conditions, Fibromyalgia, (like me), MS, eczema , acne (you heard it right), and rosacea, etc. you will be feeding your skin the right way. This is truly Healthy Food for your Skin.
You can visit my website here and get acquainted with TruAura. And of course, contact me should you have any questions. You won't regret it!

Are all supplements the same?

2/6/2019

I was recently asked why the supplements I recommend ( from Xymogen, MD Prescriptives, Metagenics) are more expensive than those at Walmart, Sam's, and other vitamin places. And the answer is simple-

1. Better ingredients- free of toxins, pesticides, heavy metals, PCB , GMO's, and preservatives. These companies have the GMP seal (Good Manufacturing Practices), which means an FDA third party will regulate their production. Xymogen has gone further into what FDA expectations are and are even found on the IFOS Program. It is always advisable to look for that seal when purchasing OTC supplements. Now, Imagine eating french fries made in 'who knows how old and unclean oil' at a fast food place, vs air-frying your own organic sweet potato chips! What would be more beneficial to your body? Got the picture?

2.. Accurate quantities- Did you know that OTC supplements contain only 35% of what the label reads? This is because their companies do not respond to USP, NSF GMP
Therefore, if you thought you took 1,000 mg of Omega from a generic brand , thing again! You may be taking more contaminants than fish oils.

3. 'Green' packaging that helps the environment and maintains quality of the supplements. No bisphenols .BPA is the most known to many, and it was banned in 2012 from babies' zippy cups. In general, bisphenols are endocrine disruptors, and therefore highly inflammatory.

I respect Dr. S. Pati, M.D. as one of the best Functional Medicine physicians locally and internationally. Listen to what she has to say in this video about supplements in general.

Last but not least, food is our best ally when it comes to supplementing what our bodies need, but make sure when you are choosing a nutraceutical to opt for the ones that have what they claim, and don't have what is toxic! You may end up paying less on the long run.

To your health!

2019...It is time to detox!!

1/8/2019

My favorite way to detox is to fast.
My second way is following the 10 days Metagenics program: Ultra Clear Renew given its ease to complete, and the effectiveness of a well standardized and FDA overviewed product line.

If you want to start 2019 with a lighter , clearer and healthier body, especially an optimized liver to feel better and lose weight faster you owe it to yourself to be in wellness and #DETOX!. Do not hesitate and start anew.

To your health,

It might not be depression but languishing

6/1/2017

I call it languishing.. or drying up, fading, withering, instead of endogenous depression. Symptoms may be the same - emptiness, frustration, lack of fulfillment, anger, lack of joy, sadness... you name it. They mimic medical depression requiring medicamentous treatment but the line between them both, even when fine, is visible and demarcated and lie on the reasons causing it. These must be identified and attacked accordingly.

In my practice, I hear the inner voices of so many souls screaming for a way out of this type of sadness. I am not hereby referring to an unexpected intense life event such as the death of a family member, divorce, loss of employment, natural disasters, along with their subsequent mourning process or genetic depression; it is rather the ongoing fading of someone's passion, desire, happiness.

Even when this might appear as what our culture knows as depression , it is categorically different.

Through years of caring, listening and observing I have encountered and reaffirmed that a major reason for languishing is not knowing the why of one's own existence. Digging in and probing as I take the medical history , I uncover this culprit many times: the lack of understanding of one's purpose and mission in life acts almost as a leech sucking the life out of wonderfully God created human lives. Just existing, surviving, living by default rather than by design, many are confronting and solving daily job challenges without the passion, strength and fire to perform; tending to their families, and surviving day by day . How long can someone face life without hope, motive and meaning?

As I walk alongside my patients, discovering the why behind the symptoms is vital. Does medication have a role in the treatment of a tired soul, one who's desperately longing for its meaning? Even when a prescribed drug could help someone temporarily, the real liberating and healing comes from a much different place and process: the intentional discovery of one's God given purpose. This will breath aliveness , transfuse back vitality and inject vigor into each and every body cell!

Where should you start? Identify if this is the issue at hand and begin the process! Look inside. Ask yourself questions about who you really are, what you love, what makes you alive! Come up with honest, clear and transparent answers. No masks allowed. Jot them down. Find books about Life Purpose. Allow yourself the time to read them. Define yourself progressively. Don't be afraid to verbalize your passions, your deepest desire and to envision your change. And may I suggest something that continues to help me in discovering my own passions? PRAY. It will get you to His highest dimension.

There is hope. There is freedom on the other side of the fence.

Heart Health on February... Let your heart 'beet'!

1/30/2017

Protect your heart and your vessels. It is heart health month, and I just want to remind you of things you know must do, such as EXERCISE daily , MANAGE YOUR STRESS BETTER and, of course. EAT RIGHT!
This is where this bloody-colored veggie ~ BEETS ~ gets in the picture.
As 'red' as it sounds, and despite their taste (ouch!!), there are too many positive claims on the goodness of this vegetable for your cardiovascular system, so it is almost impossible to pass it on and forget it as part of our wellness cabinet.
Did you know that beets could make you:
1. more energetic?
2. lower your blood pressure?
3. increase your blood flow to muscles while exercising?
4. decrease stiffening of your arteries at rest?
And have...
5. Potent anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects due to their betalain pigment content?

In addition to the betalain pigments, they contain high doses of NITRATES (one of their secrets), which when converted to Nitrous Oxide (NO) in your body, will achieve vasorelaxation (see Image 1) and other benefits (Image 2)!

Image 1: Vasorelaxation

Image 2

There is a lot of science going on when it comes to beets and cardiovascular disease.
From blood pressure, to aneurysms and atherosclerosis , beets could have an amazing beneficial impact on your heart health, and prevent cardiovascular diseases.

Because we are what we eat, and our best medicine is food, give BEETS a try. Add them to your daily regime. /Smoothie-them' in, eat them in your salad, and if not ... get a super beet powder concentrate out there and let your heart "beet" as strong and healthy as it can.
