Beauty In Aging
Health & Wellness Podcasts
I HATED MY SKIN!! Lines, wrinkles, sagging, crow’s feet, dark spots, dry and dull skin – I hated all of it!! I was angry and frustrated and felt taken advantage of by all the promises of beautiful younger looking skin by companies whose toxic concoctions just made my skin worse. (I know many of you have felt the same way.) When I researched “clean/green” companies I found many of them blatantly lying about the safety of their ingredients. I wasted so much time and money on products with false promises. (How much money have you wasted on products??) So, I decided to do it myself. I learned how the skin works and what it needs as it ages, I learned to formulate organic skincare and how to nourish the skin. I created a skincare company that specializes in anti-aging, whose ingredients all started as plants, are organic or wild-crafted and not only reduces the appearance of aging, but cares about, and nourishes, the health of your skin. I created this podcast as a place for me to do my best to educate you on all aspects of aging, because it’s so much more than what you put on your skin. I’ll use my background as a chef, holistic nutritionist, personal trainer, esthetician and skincare formulator to help us all age with grace, dignity and a whole lot of sass.

Some of us grew up in the country surrounded by grass and trees, some grew on farms, and others grew up in major cities. Some of us smoked, did drugs and drank. We all have different food allergies, sensitivities and intolerances. We have different likes and dislikes, attitudes toward certain things, and different perspectives. We have different religious beliefs and politics, habits, perspectives, goals, experiences and relationships.
All of these things create bodies that have different gut microbiomes and amounts of inflammation, oxidative stress. These differences cause our hormones act and react differently, make us break down and use food differently, given us high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, psoriasis, rosacea, autoimmune illness, insulin resistant, diabetic, overweight, underweight, tired, fatigued or energized.
And all of these things make you who you uniquely are.
