Recently I spoke with the very beautiful and interesting Lana Kerr about how our skin and lady parts change with aging. As women, we can experience hormonal changes in the ways of perimenopause from the age of 25 onwards. So it is very important that we understand our body. This way we can hopefully make or transition through the different stages of life, a bit more doable. Lana has some fascinating insight on how to help our skins aging process and has developed a non invasive treatment that she backs with research. I hope you find this conversation interesting.

You can also find the video version of this conversation over on my YouTube channel - Chemaines Model Health.

Lana is the founder and CEO of Lumisque Skincare and creator of CO2Lift, LANA KERR. CO2Lift is recognized for its contributions to non-invasive carboxytherapy treatments. Lana is a fierce advocate for women’s health issues, particularly those that arise with aging and menopause.

Dark chocolate is literally one of my favorite "health" promoting foods and I insist my clients consume it daily, but why? A new client asked me recently, why do I push dark chocolate so much? The science supporting this amazing food is VAST! Including adrenal and hormone support, reduction in visceral fat, protection for cardiovascular health, and more! I hope this podcast episode answers her (and your) questions around dark chocolate.

EPIC is what this conversation is! I had this conversation with Dr Sam Shay earlier today and I wanted to share it asap because I know many of my followers, like me, like to nerd out on this stuff. Dr Sam did an incredible job delivering this information today and I think its understandable for most. I know you will love the conversation around inflammation, vitamin D3 and caffeine!

Although this is a totally listenable podcast episode, I highly recommend if you can to watch it, as Dr Sam provides slides and graphs that are super helpful. I have also attached his vitamin D videos below too.

Dr. Sam Shay, DC, IFMCP solves health puzzles for busy, health-conscious moms, mom-preneurs, and adults with Asperger's so that they can exit survival mode and re-enter community.

Known as the friendly "lab nerd", Dr. Shay specializes in functional lab and genetics analysis for data-driven results. Dr. Shay is also a Stand-Up Comic, using clean, observational comedy to educate and entertain. He is a joy to speak to!
