One of the most important discoveries I have made as a natural health doctor is that BEAUTY
comes from the inside out.
All of the most expensive creams, facials, fillers, Botox, body treatments and make-up can only
achieve a limited result if your health is not optimal.
Here are the 4 most important secrets for staying healthy and looking your best:
1) Drinking enough water- if you are dehydrated, you will be more prone to wrinkles, dry skin
and hair and brittle nails. And worse- you will be at higher risk for high blood pressure, muscle
and joint injury and slower recovery after exercise. Caffeine and alcohol are both dehydrating
so you need even more water if you drink those.
2) Eating enough good fat- contrary to popular belief, fat isn’t bad for you. BAD fat is bad for
you. Good fat is an essential nutrient for health and for supple skin and shiny hair, as well as
your brain, nerves and eyes! Examples of good fat are avocados, olives and olive oil, flax seed
oil, macadamia nuts, organic unprocessed coconut oil, and grass-fed butter. We have many
more examples of good fat and give a handout about it to every patient we see.
3) Eating collagen- collagen is the protein that your hair, skin and nails are primarily comprised
of. Collagen is also critically important for your muscles, bones, blood vessels and immune
system. To be able to digest and use the collagen you’re eating your body needs some specific
digestive enzymes and vitamins. We are able to determine if your body is deficient in any of
these to get the best results.
4) Getting enough sleep- Deep sleep is when your body does most of its healing and secretes
Human Growth hormone, which we call the “anti-aging” hormone. If you’re not getting enough
good sleep, you’re not getting enough repair to your cells, which are damaged, at least a little
bit, every day.
There are many other daily practices which contribute to overall health and beauty. Getting
your body moving (even a 20 minute walk every day helps!), getting a few minutes of sunshine
each day, and learning how to manage your stress. Stress can be a killer- not just for your skin
but for your heart, brain, digestion and many other body systems. We very often need to help
patients handle stress more effectively in order to improve their overall wellbeing.
And finally, if you need a little “extra” help with tightening loose skin or fat reduction, we have
a revolutionary system called iShape that gently dissolves your fat cells and stimulates
collagen production. Completely safe and pain-free, iShape delivers permanent results in a
short time. Safer and more affordable than Botox, fillers CoolSculpting or plastic surgery!
If you are interested in a nutrition evaluation or to see if you are a candidate for iShape, give us
a call today. We look forward to meeting you!
