Your Skin: What Does Food Have to Do With It?

It is common knowledge that simply: We are what we eat.


But what happens when what is considered a healthy, healing diet, isn't showing the results we expected?

When it comes to skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, eczema & pH imbalances, we can see that what we put in definitely comes out. Although nourishing foods packed with vitamins & minerals is key, often food alone is not the only answer. The real key lies in our digestive fire, the strength & tone of our organ systems, & basically our body's ability to thrive & really handle digestion. The truth is that we can be eating what we consider to be the healthiest diet ever, but if we are unable to properly digest fats, carbohydrates & protiens efficiently, we can end up feeling like we are going no where.

I highly recommend using high doses of powerful digestive enzymes with what you are already eating, & see if there is improvement. It is also beneficial to take them on an empty stomach, which helps clean up your blood & repair your tissues.

Digestion is quite the task, when you consider all that is involved. A perfect orchestration of pH, enzymes & muscle tone is required to complete the task.


Throughout the course of my journey, I tackled using different diets, elliminating possible allergens, cleanses, flushes - the whole schibang. Over the long run, & desperate for a cure, a lot of this protocol actually aggravated my conditions more - which looking back I can totally attribute it to stress.


It is so important to understand that eating is supposed to be a way to relieve stress, not to create it. Eating is designed to be a reward system, for the mind & body; to encourage us to keep putting things in our mouths that make us feel good. Granted in the 21st century, there is some intelligence involved in figuring out what is actually making us feel good. Food that tastes good, does not necessarily make us feel our very best.


But now a days, there are so many options when it comes to eating healthy, that there is just no excuse not to explore it. Personally, I find the options at health food stores super exciting. The taste of organic, simple food is just gigantic compared to conventional foods. My tastebuds are getting crazy just thinking about it.

Exploration is the key! As long as you are exploring different diets with love & excitement, I would say that is golden. But, often times jumping from one thing to the next, in search for an answer can cause extreme stress in the body & deter your digestion from rewarding & nourishing you.  Remember that stress is the root cause of all dis-ease.  Digestion under stress is very weak & makes even eating something as simple as an apple diffucult on the body.


All in all, eat with happiness & eat with intuition! Remember that you not only are feeding your body, but your mind & soul.  Don't hesitate to use Enzymes in order to experiment with getting more variety in your diet. You will be amazed at how much things get better.


Cheers to happy eating :)

Jump Start the Healing Process & See Immediate Results

When it comes to healing troublesome skin conditions such as acne & eczema, paying your body respect & giving it nutritious support from food, vitamins & digestive strengthening herbs, is without a doubt the best medicine that is available to us. But sometimes we need some encouragement; a protocol that will save us years of detoxing & healing just using dietary changes.

No matter where you are at on your journey to healthy, beautiful skin: Jump on to exploring colon hydrotherapy, quality digestive enzymes & probiotics will elliminate years of waiting to see a change.

The 3 Treasures:

HYDROTHERAPY
There is a lot of controversy out there with colon hydrotherapy, but I believe that the only way to really know if something is right for you or not, is to simply give it your own test run. It certaintly will not hurt you. The body has amazing natural healing abilities on its own. But I will say, that as soon as I opened myself to using hyderotherapy, my healing abilities increased a million-fold. The Hydrotherapy was able to assit my body in clearing digestive blocks, which not only left my skin feeling healthier, but also left me mentally feeling focused & energized.

In combination with Hydrotherapy, the use of quality Digestive Enzymes & Probiotics, has changed my skin dramatically.

ENZYMES
It is important to find enzymes that have been evaluated for potency by the FCC - & this is seen in the way they measure dosage on the ingredients. You don't want an enzyme supplement that is measured just in milligrams. You want to see some crazy measurements like HUT, DU & BGU's. Ideally, you will also want a supplement that covers a wide variety of enzymes such as Amylase, Protease, Cellulase, Lipase & Lactase, just to start. The broader the spectrum the better. You can take enzymes away from meals in order to cleanse your blood & help manage bacteria in your system - or with your food to actually digest & breakdown carbs, protiens, fats & so on.

PROBIOTICS
Probiotics is a fun one - I recently learned that what may seem to some as overdosing on them, is actually incredibly benefical. A friend of mine & I split a bottle of Garden of Life Raw Probiotics & took the whole thing internally right before bed. I woke up feeling amazing & my digestion was spot on. If you aren't used to lots of fermented, cultured foods - you may notice some cleansing effects - multiple bowel movements & some gas - but! With all those toxins cleared, your colon will thank you by giving you light, blissful state of mind. 

After years of using different dietary approaches, tonifying herbs & different cleanses, these 3 simple regimens trump them all! You can be anywhere on the journey & start here. I highly recommend exploring these 3 treasures.

Cheers to your health :)
