Therasage & The Ultimate Detox Tools

A foundation in my Health Freedom Program is supporting & working on Drainage- which is essentially your bodies systems of elimination. This includes your cells, kidneys, lymph, liver, skin & colon.

Making sure these 6 areas are optimized & “open” will help you get well & STAY well long-term (that’s the ultimate goal, right?!)

If these areas are not open & waste its not moving through them- your body gets backed up with toxins & cellular debris.

The debris & toxins get circulated back through these systems to try again which continues to clog the drainage pathways (yuck!). This can lead to slower organ functioning, hormonal problems, gut dysbiosis, anxiety, acne & all kinds of other symptoms.

One of my favorite tools to use routinely is the Therasage Portable Sauna. Sweating helps to increase lymphatic flow & release toxins. I’ve personally passed parasites JUST from using this sauna & taking ZERO anti-parasitic herbs or supplements. I could hardly believe it!

This company makes some other amazing products that I highly recommend for mitochondrial support & nervous system support.

The PEMF mat is another great tool in your toolkit. We got my parents a PEMF mat & they noticed amazing benefits in their sleep. My dad has honestly never slept a full night until he started using this mat. Sleep is incredibly important for preventing dementia & Alzheimers (deep sleep is when plaque is removed from the brain!) & incredibly necessary for optimizing metabolic function, hormones, circadian rhythm & more. If you’re not sleeping, you’re not healing. This mat has 9 different modes & settings depending on what exactly you need & also has a TENS unit which is great for pain management

Benefits of TENS therapy can include:

• Pain relief

• Increased circulation to the area

• Reduced muscle tension and spasms

• Promotes relaxation and deeper sleep

• Reduced anxiety and depression

• Improved range of motion

Potential Benefits of PEMF:

• Improved blood flow

• Improved digestion

• Deeper sleep

• Relief from allergies

• Improvements in athletic performance and recovery

• Reduction in pain and tension

• Improved mood

• Sharper cognitive function

• Improved drainage 

• Immune support

• Improved energy

We also own their weighted gem blanket & weighted eye mask. Honestly, every product this company makes it top notch.

Remember, these arent just things to artificially make you feel better- they are the tools to have in your home to get well & stay well for life. Without proper detoxification & optimal mitochondrial functioning, our cells cannot work well. If our cells arent working well, they cannot create new tissue. Tissue creation leads to organ regeneration & then impacts entire organ system functioning. All health starts a cellular level!

What health-building tools do you have on your wishlist?

Anti-Aging, Hormone Friendly Skincare

After years of trying different “clean” skincare products, I have finally found something that has produced visible results & is safe for those on a journey of balancing their hormones & reducing toxic products.

I thought I’d struggle with large pores for the rest of my life because it was “genetic” from my grandfathers side. Well let me tell ya, that is NOT the case!

In just one wash using the Clearity (that’s designed for cleaning out & minimizing pores) my pores were purging gunk & shrinking up. This stuff is amazing!

Optimizing Skin Barrier

Let’s begin with some wildly important info to understand.

The skin has a barrier called the ACID MANTLE & it needs to be maintained at a specific pH to keep bacterial balance in check, prevent water loss & protect against environmental pollutants.

Most products on the market are too acidic or too alkaline which damages this barrier & causes bacterial imbalance (which can lead to acne, dryness, sensitivity & inflammation).

I first learned about this 5 years ago when we bought a Kangen water machine. It makes a specific pH balanced water called “Beauty Water” that’s designed to be a natural toner & great for the skin. It has a pH of 5.5 - 6 which is the perfect pH for optimal skin health. Once I started washing my face with this & using it as a toner several times a day, I really started to notice an increase in my skin’s hydration & “glowiness”.

(This slightly acidic water is also what makes my houseplants thrive! Healthy soil & thriving plants need the same pH balance as our skin!)

Using filtered & ionized water that is designed to support skin health along with this line of smartly designed skincare products will help you get the anti-aging results you’ve been looking for.

Acne & skin health is also very much INTERNAL

Another important thing to note is that what is happening on the inside of your body will show up on the outside of your body.

I personally struggled with terribly painful cystic acne for years until I did a stool test & discovered I had several bacterial infections wreaking havoc in my body.

After working on my gut health, removing the infections & balancing my hormones I found myself totally cystic acne-free for the first time in SO long!

From there on, I still struggled with whiteheads & clogged pores until I switched to washing & rinsing with the Beauty Water from our Kangen machine.

Soon after that, I quit wearing face makeup entirely which started to really decrease whiteheads. I highly recommend going through your makeup to find what could be aging your skin!

For a full list of pore-clogging ingredients & all of this in more detail, check out Emily Morrow’s Pore Clogger List. She’s the one who really brought all this information together for me & introduced me to Clearstem.

It wasn’t until recently when I switched to Clearstem that my forehead wrinkles really started to dissipate as well as any leftover, pesky clogged pores that were still lingering! This was a breakthrough moment for me that honestly gave me much relief & helped me worry much less about my the aging that comes along with a beautiful life. I’m feeling confident that I will be confident in my skin for a long time.

It has been a long journey of learning & unlearning. I used to get monthly facials with estheticians using spa-quality products but now I know their products had pore clogger ingredients which were keeping my skin in this perpetual “almost nice” state.

I am so glad to be sharing this knowledge with you & am so grateful for the clear skin I get to wake up with everyday. I pray you can also experience that & if you need help getting functional lab testing to get to the root cause or have questions about your skincare, please reach out! I’m happy to help.

Easy Energy Immune Boost

The easiest + most effective way to stay fit + healthy this winter is by sipping this everyday, upon waking.  A simple blend of honey + lemon water, it can easily be considered an elixir for a healthy life.  This simple Ayurvedic practice helps flush toxins out of the body + boosts overall function of the digestive, lymphatic + immune systems. 

Not only is it crazy cleansing, it's also great for:

• Relieving Constipation

• Creating an Alkaline Atmosphere

• Healing Internal Infections

• Cleansing the Colon

• Aiding in Weight Loss

• Hydrating the Entire Body

• Boosting Energy Instantly

• Diminishing Bad Breath

• Clearing Skin 

• Boosting Collagen

Ingredients:

• Juice from half a lemon

• 1 spoonful of raw honey

• Boiled water

Blend together + sip daily

P.S.  It's always best to find local honey that is native to your area (it helps with allergies + boosts your immune system according to what's going on in your area at the time). If you can't find any local honey, you can order my favorite raw honey here. 

Mindfullness

Carving out a little time to focus on the hear-and-now + releasing the chatter of the mind can be a game changer to your health routine.  

There was once a time when I couldn't get my mind to settle down before bed + I'd totally space on what another person was saying because I was so wrapped up in my own thoughts.  Don't get me wrong, I still battle with my own inner voices but have found ways to practice being content, quiet + just simply aware, without lengthy meditations. 

Below are 3 practices you can take with you anywhere + can be done in minutes.  Practicing mindfullness has been proven to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, improve sleep, increase healthy digestion...the list goes on and on.  With the fast-paced world we live in, theres no better time to take some moments for yourself.

1 | Write/Journal/Draw

Taking pen to paper brings you to the present moment + makes you focus on what is happening in front of you.  Try sitting down and write about the dreams you remember from the night before, make a simple gratitude list or just doodle for a few minutes in the morning.  This helps clear the mind of to-do lists for the day, which seems to always take priority upon waking. 

2 | Breathe Into The Belly

Breathing deep into the belly is the #1 thing my yoga students insist is the greatest thing they practice + truly brings the most benefits to the body, mind + spirit.  Start by lying down (or just staying in bed upon waking) + placing a hand over your abdomen. Inhaling + exhaling through the nose, feel the breath travel down into the lungs + gently expand the rib cage. Try lengthening your inhale to a count of 6 + exhaling to a count of 6 or 7. Your nervous system will thank you!

3 | Sensory Awareness

To create a quick moment of mindfullness, go through each of the senses and make note of whats going on around you. What do you see, smell, feel, hear + taste?  Make a mental note of each one of these aspects.  This only takes a few moments + can be done anywhere.  This practice helps build gratitude + also makes you more vigilant, fully being aware of your surroundings, body + internal sensations.  

Spending 5 minutes practicing any of these steps daily will easily bring more joy, balance + overall mental health into your life.  Set your phone on a a 5 minute timer + go for it.
