Waking up and reading the labels is not limited to the food we eat. It also applies to the skincare products we use. What we put on our bodies directly relates to our mood, energy, and appearance. Unfortunately, there are toxins hiding in every aspect of our environment. These omnipresent toxins can disrupt your hormones easily and impact your ability to age naturally and gracefully. 

Rachel Varga, Aesthetic Nurse Specialist with double-board certification, teaches her clients about biohacking in order to slow aging, detoxify, and rejuvenate the skin. She has performed over 20,000 rejuvenation procedures and hosted hundreds of interviews with functional wellness leaders. Rachel serves as an executive board member for the Plastic and Aesthetic Nursing Journal and regularly contributes to the Journal of Aesthetic Nursing. Jen and Rachel discuss how oxidative stress status impacts the body, why regular detoxification is necessary, and how to age gracefully.

In this episode, Rachel talks to Jen about key toxins to avoid, the long-term consequences of toxicity exposure, and how to bio-hack your environment to improve your health.
