Beauty and the Liver! Why a healthy liver is a must for gorgeous skin.

We often over look this organ. Why is a healthy liver so important to great skin? This is one topic we discuss in Episode 5 of our TRU Beauty Confessions on the EPN Network ‘Walking in Beauty. 5 Beauty Must-Haves' with our guest Natural Health Practitioner Christina Bigelow. Read on to learn more. Listen on Spotify, Apple and Google here! The liver acts as the main biochemical synthesizer and detoxifying organ. It's responsible for cleaning toxins and wastes from the blood, and separating out the useful nutrients to synthesize hundreds of biochemicals that the body needs for daily functioning. The liver detoxifies harmful substances in two steps: First, enzymes and oxygen are used to burn toxins, especially fatty ones, so they are more water soluble, making them easier for the body to eliminate. Second, it combines partially processed toxins with sulfur or amino acids so they can be removed through bile or urine. Keeping the liver working optimally is very important to the healthy digestion of nutrients. A pertinent point Christina touches on is your skin and hair get nutrients last. The body is able to survive without good skin, hair, and nails, therefore these areas when the body is over maxed with inefficient functioning due to toxin overload and nutrient deficiency will be served last.

High Vibe Matters ~ What is the Frequency of Your Products!?

A Few Notes on Frequency and Why it Matters to your Skin and Body! We are in the glorious 're-membering' of incredible wisdom that was momentarily veiled from our communities. Nonetheless, not unlike our fearless and resilient dandelion allies, such sacred knowing can be stamped on, subjugated, ignored, buried, polluted, poisoned and pulled out BUT it keeps popping its little lion maned yellow head up to say, "I'm still here!" I wanted to put a few notes together to get our community thinking about the importance of the frequency of what we utilize on the daily, whether that is in consuming, wearing or in our bath and beauty products. I have maintained over the years you cannot put non-living dead frequency on living frequency and expect life. It's simply not possible.  The frequency of the human body typically ranges from 62 to 78 MHz when healthy, with disease starting to occur when it drops below 58 MHz. Each organ also has its own specific frequency, co...

Reach for Plants ~ Rhodiola to the Rescue

Reach for Plants ~ Rhodiola to the Rescue The other day I was feeling off, stressy and overwhelmed. I feel it has a lot to do with the constant unseasonable rain and cloud cover. After unsuccessful attempts to redirect my mood, I decided to have a time out and it popped in my head to add some Rhodiola rosea to my Kombucha. It felt as if only minutes had passed, and this lightness came over me. The heavy overwhelm lifted, my mood noticeably softened. It is a good reminder that our plant allies are there at the ready to help! Studies have found rhodiola may help strengthen the body’s response to physical stressors like exercise and psychological stressors such as fatigue and depression. Other studies, many in test tubes and animals, have suggested that rhodiola may help protect against certain health conditions, such as cancer, depression, and diabetes. However, more research is necessary to quantify how traditional medicine already uses this herb. Rhodiola has been used in trad...

Green Tea the Forgotten Collagen & Metabolism Plant Ally

 Green Tea the Forgotten Collagen & Metabolism Plant Ally With so much attention on new trends for weight management, blood sugar balance, and skin firming, I want to highlight an ancient plant ally that may not seem exciting but deserves a place in a daily beauty and wellness routine. Green tea is an important part of my plant-based toolkit. I include it in my morning blend of black tea, five mushroom powder, and a dandelion-chicory coffee substitute. It is also a key ingredient in my Brighten + Fortify Facial Serum , which I use every day. In addition to its well-known skincare benefits, studies suggest that green tea may help regulate blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, and support overall metabolic health, making it a valuable part of a whole-body weight management approach. How Green Tea Works Green tea’s many benefits for skin health, weight management, and blood sugar support are largely linked to its bioactive compounds, especially catechins and EGCG (epigallocat...
