This week I'm sharing the interview I did on the Healthy Happy Autoimmune Podcast with AnnaLaura Brown. We have a great discussion about the importance of clean beauty and skincare, how to recognize if something is clean, what you can and should do to improve your skincare and the products you use, no fear mongering. You'll hear my story and some of my favorite clean beauty products as well as a few of the worst toxins to avoid.

AnnaLaura helps people with allergies and autoimmune disorders not just survive but thrive so if you have allergies or any autoimmune issues check out more of her podcast episodes and her site. We also talk about why toxins are destroying your thyroid and leading to Hashimoto's and many other autoimmune problems. She’ll be a guest on Clean Beauty Scene in the very near future!

There are many things in our environment and diet that affect our estrogen levels and disrupt the natural flow of our hormones. In several episodes, we've discussed how environmental toxins adversely affect our hormones, this is why reducing toxic load is very important when it comes to our reproductive system and menstrual cycle. As women, we have our menstrual cycle for over thirty years, dealing with painful, at times debilitating cramps, acne and mood swings.

Kristen Lee, a registered nurse who blends yoga and reiki with science, takes a holistic approach to help women heal. After years of dealing with severe symptoms surrounding her cycle, Kristen has turned her pain into her purpose. She believes women can live in season with their cycle, that their experience can be a sacred one instead of a painful one. In this episode, we’ll discuss things we women can do to mitigate issues caused by excess estrogen, get relief from painful PMS, balance our hormones and improve our health.

Episode 9: What Are Xenoestrogens, How Do They Increase Your Risk of Breast Cancer And How Do You Avoid Them And Don’t Get Pinkwashed

When a character in a movie has a heart attack, they typically clutch their chest, have trouble breathing and fall to the ground with sharp chest pains. This is a common reaction but there is a wide range of symptoms associated with a heart attack that do not always include distinct chest pain, especially in women. Can’t stress that point enough, ladies!

Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer of both men and women in the U.S. and it kills more women than all forms of cancer combined. Heart health is not just something to be concerned about when we're older. A recent study by Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities found that heart attack rates have risen among individuals ages 35-54, especially women.

February is Heart Health Month. Your lifestyle dictates your chance of heart problems, including stroke and nearly all other types of illness. 80% of heart disease is preventable, which is good news. In this episode, I share lifestyle tips for a healthy heart, a healthier body and longevity as well as some surprising heart attack symptoms to be aware of that are also associated with other issues so they often go ignored.

Let’s clear the confusion surrounding the F word. Fragrance. In this episode, you’ll learn the truth about why synthetic fragrance is the #1 ingredient you should stay away from to reduce your body’s toxic burden. Synthetic fragrance is linked to a myriad of diseases and health issues but it also could be the culprit if you or your child suffer from eczema, acne, allergies or asthma.

Avoiding this one ingredient gives you the biggest advantage if you want to create a truly clean, green beauty routine. The Federal Fair Packaging and Labeling Act allows companies to include chemicals that are known to be harmful. A deceitful legal loophole proving they have little regard for our health. I break it all down in this episode. You’ll also learn why ‘fragrance-free’ isn’t always safe and I share my secret cheat if you have a signature scent that you can’t part with yet.

Episode 9 What Are Xenoestrogens, How Do They Increase Your Risk Of Breast Cancer And How Do You Avoid Them? (And – Don’t Get Pinkwashed) 

When it comes to sugar most of us eat too much. We all know it’s bad for us - and for our skin - and yet so many of us still have a sweet tooth. Why? Lynne Wadsworth, Founder of Holistic Health and Wellness, LLC. explains that sugar is eight times more addictive than cocaine, with the average American consuming 150lbs of sugar in a year. Self-proclaimed “sugarholic,” Lynne used to suffer from pain and inflammation until she quit eating sugar and watched her health drastically improve.

In this episode, Lynne helps us kick the sugar habit and overcome sugar addiction! You’ll discover helpful tips on how to overcome the emotional component of eating sugar and small, practical ways to implement the advice. Lynne also warns us that added sugar, or fake sugar and the many names it goes by, is hidden in almost all of the foods we consume. She guides us through what we should be eating instead and easy alternatives for sweet treats.

There is a lot of controversy surrounding what we should and shouldn’t eat but one thing that’s never up for debate is the fact that we all need lots of vegetables every single day. How does getting the nutritional equivalent of a plateful of veggies from one tablet sound? And what if I told you that tablet was actual food, not a supplement? Sounds pretty amazing, doesn’t it? It certainly intrigued me.

Clean beauty is not just about avoiding toxins and using clean products, it's also beauty from the inside out which encompasses many healthy lifestyle habits including good nutrition. This week is a hot topic. We are talking about algae which happens to be the most powerful nutrient-dense superfood on the planet.

The country’s leading expert on algae nutrition, Catharine Arnston, Founder & CEO of ENERGYbits, explains the many phenomenal science backed health and beauty benefits. You will find the incredible information that Catharine shares about algae and its history absolutely fascinating.

Algae has thousands more nutrients than any fruit or vegetable containing all essential amino acids, the highest concentration of protein, iron, beta carotene, and antioxidants, as well as B-vitamins, electrolytes, and omega 3’s! It's also the most sustainable food, you know this eco girl loves that aspect as well. You’ll hear about how Spirulina was the first life on earth almost 4 billion years ago!

As Catharine explains in the episode, ENERGYbits tablets are not supplements, they are real food. Algae is a beautiful companion to your clean beauty routine because it naturally helps your body detox. There are tens of thousands of scientific studies validating the benefits of algae, including some about COVID-19. Nutrient-rich algae is highly beneficial in building a strong immune system which is always vital and it's more important than ever right now as we face this pandemic.

I'm partnering with Catharine in a giveaway, you have a chance to win a box of ENERGYbits which gives you a seriously simple way to assimilate this super food into your diet with high quality algae tablets. It's the easiest quickest way to get the equivalent of platefuls of veggies without cooking, peeling, chopping or cleaning! Get ready to take notes, Catharine shares a wealth of knowledge. You might even hear my Cher impression.
