In this episode I do a deep dive on how NeoRhythm can change your life.  You got this right - it can change your state of mind.  Whether you suffer from sleep deprivation, or simply not being able to shut down, NeoRhythm can help.  

Research studies have proven PEMF therapy to be a non-invasive, entirely safe way to encourage our brain to mimic external signals provided by a device.  This works similar to how MRI machines work.

This episode I get into a few of the top Dirty Dozen list of ingredients you really do not want in your personal care products.  I also tell you where you can find them and how they can potentially cause disruption to your health.  For the comprehensive list, go here (this is where most of my research came from and David Suzuki is a very reliable resource!).

https://davidsuzuki.org/queen-of-green/dirty-dozen-cosmetic-chemicals-avoid/

Here are are few ingredients I talk about and to watch for in your products:
- BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole)
- BHT (butylated hydroxy toluene)
- PPD (phenylenediamine)
- DEA (diethanolamine)
- DBP (dibutyl phthalate)
- Formeldehyde-releasing preservatives like methenamine, diazolidinyl urea
- Parabens - methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben
- PEG (polyethylene glycols) - petroleum-based
- Siloxanes - these ingredients end in "siloxane" or "methicone"
- SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) or SLES (Sodium laureth sulfate)
- Fragrance or Parfum - this is the TRICKIEST one of all - many many ingredients can be thrown in this one category.  ASK the questions of the manufacturer!

Personal care products!!  This includes everything you wash your skin with, you moisturize with, your make up.  Really anything you use on your face and body.  This episode I go into the reasons why it's important to lower your toxic load - and that includes really looking at the ingredients of what you use on a daily basis.  This isn't really about the perfume you wear once in a very rare blue moon - it's more about what you use everyday and even multiple times a day!!

Next week is part two where I talk about the dirty dozen of personal care products and provide you with actual names of what to look out for.

I have a personal interest in researching symbols.  Perhaps this interest began many years ago when I started to study Feng Shui. I love this stuff!  It makes my life more enjoyable and it always feels like I am being looked after.  This episode breaks down some of the more common signs we see in nature and the meaning behind them.

Hey!  I'm on Instagram @sandyknutrition and Facebook - Sandy K Nutrition.  Come follow me there!

This episode unpacks the power of positive thinking.  It's not just about being a positive person, it's about really going deep to the subconscious level and living positive in every facet of your life.  It goes down to the core; down to the cellular level, according to leading stem cell biologist Dr. Bruce Lipton.

I go pretty deep in this episode and even unpack "vision boarding" and it's effectiveness and why it may possibly help, and how positive thinking can sometimes be mistaken for sweeping things under the rug.  You won't want to miss this one!

In this episode I refer to the following books:

The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton
The Anatomy of the Spirit by Caroline Myss
It Didn't Start with You by Mark Wolynn
