Having said that, we're living during a time
where modern diets are worse than ever because
they are replete with chemicals, pesticides, and
additives that do more harm than good. We've
gotten away from whole foods, slow foods, and
nutrient-rich organic meals that truly feed our cells
to give them the needed tools to repair, fortify, and
function correctly, the way their DNA tells them to.
Processed foods, which lack nutrient value, stimulate
infl ammatory cascades within the body, so skin
becomes reactive, dry, and congested, and wrinkles
far more easily with less exposure to ultraviolet light.
The solution: avoid soda and other simple carbs
like candy and white bread, bad fats, high-fructose
corn syrup, and processed meats like cold cuts
and sausage, which are full of harmful, cancer-
promoting nitrates. Instead, consume a low-acid,
anti-infl ammatory diet full of vegetables, fruits, lean
proteins, and embryonic foods (seeds, beans, eggs),
which contain collagen-boosting amino acids.
IT'S ALL CONNECTED
Good skin is about healthy cells. If you complement
topical treatments with internal and emotional care
to achieve the best results possible for each person's
individual needs (down to our customer's smallest
parts—their cells), you'll be able to help them stay
younger-looking longer. Everything is connected
within the body, and everything we do overlaps
and has eff ects on our cells. While this may sound
depressing, know that the reverse is also true—
everything we do can also have positive eff ects on
each one of our cells. And this is a thing of beauty.
