What's on the Table!? ~ Health and Beauty Care with the Natural Intelligence of Plants and Herbs

Not only did we just get back from travels and the hot topic in other countries for health and wellness is Glutathione, but Glutathione is trending!  It is a question that has been coming in both via email and at my events. Given by now most know I am a total research nerd and I cannot stop until I feel I have gotten to the source of the question, I feel compelled to share what we have been practicing in our own home over the last few years concerning Glutathione. When it comes to Glutathione, I want to discuss what we know to be true, and misunderstandings associated with how to get it, how it is absorbed, and how your body produces it.

There are hundreds of these nodes throughout the body. Predominant lymph nodes are in the neck, groin, or axillary regions. The catch is that the lymphatic system has no pump and relies on muscle activity and exercise for the lymph to circulate. Signs of a congested lymphatic system include lethargy, tiredness, hea...

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.

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 ...
