Anti-aging is more than just what you put on your face. There is a whole list of factors that go into healthy, balanced skin, including genetics, overall health, pollutants and diet.
In Fact: Epigenetic studies now show that approx 80 percent of our health is influenced by our lifestyle and environment, leaving only 20 percent (or less) to our genetic “genes.”
When that 80 percent is broken or not working efficiently, we then manifest dis-ease and many times it is reflective on our outer skin.
Many of our health issues as a society today are now being linked to a potentially endocannabinoid deficiency. Symptoms can manifest in anxiety, sleep issues to cancer.
Bringing it back to lifestyle, the endocannabinoid system ( the largest regulatory system) is supported by a number of ways.
Sleep, exercise, nutrition - but as of recent, healing can be addressed through phytocannabinoids from hemp and cannabis.
So how about our skin?
Today we’re focusing on how CBD (cannabinoids) is a potent antioxidant, and when used topically- it is an easy, low-commitment way to bring new life support into your daily skin health routine.
Don’t worry, I help debunk the myths and give it to your straight so you can shop with confidence based on proven science and how it helps our neuroendocrine system.

Hi there! Excercise for ya! Please step back from what you’re currently doing right now, you may even want to close your eyes - now….. just IMAGINE:
Imagine if you could live everyday in a sense of calm while having great energy.
You’re able to fall to sleep effortlessly and wake up alert.
Your skin is clear and your hair abundantly grows
Lastly, you have a aweseome labido and can enjoy sex.
This is what it feels like to have balanced hormones. But unfortunately women commonly are left feeling:
Could it be excess or deficiency?
Julie and I break open the hormonal cascade and the top tips to keep them in check to avoid the previously listed symptoms.
Given hormones are your body’s chemical messengers, they work slowly, over time, and affect many different processes, including metabolism, sexual function, reproduction, mood and much more.
Get the 101 on Hormones and their complex process and how to assure we have the building blocks to make them. Toxins containing chemicals that mimic these building blocks or that mimic the hormones (xenoestrogens) themselves are also problematic because the body can attempt to create hormones using the wrong building blocks.
About Julie
Julie is a certified nurse practitioner who specializes in the management of functional health and hormone imbalances in young women through women entering the menopausal transition and beyond.
With a professional certification in women’s health, Julie is also a certified practitioner with the Institute of Functional Medicine. Her new clinic grew out of a desire to focus on helping women live their best and their healthiest.
Julie intimately understands and empathizes with the plethora of women coming to her office being discouraged and being told that “everything looks normal, leading them to an never ending internet search to find alternative approaches.
Hormones, Nutrition and the Microbiome
A Man's Perspective On Hormones.
Laughter heals! Here’s a joke to share with all the vagina’s you know!
One day a man found an old genie lamp in his yard. After turning it over several times, a genie popped out of the lamp and landed in front of the man. “I’m an old genie,” the genie said, “so I’ll grant you only one wish.” The man thought for a while and said, “I’d like a bridge from my garage to the Bahamas.” “A bridge to the Bahamas!” the genie exclaimed, “I’m old! I can’t make a bridge to the Bahamas!” The man thought for a few more minutes and said, “Ok fine, I’d like to understand women.” The genie deliberated for a long time, floating around and muttering to himself. Finally, he walked up to the men and said, “Ok, you want this bridge to have 2 lanes or 4?”

The hormone hierarchy- adrenaline, cortisol, insulin, thyroid, and sex steroids.
Cortisol-
Insulin-
Thyroid-
Sex Steroids-
The sex steroids patterns in mid-life, perimenopause, and menopause.
Mid-life connections are more often related to PCOS types of issues, postpartum depression, cortisol or thyroid related menstrual irregularities affecting fertility.
Perimenopause is the loss of progesterone and estrogen dominance that increases the frequency and flow of cycles; many women get ablations or hysterectomy which fixes the symptom, not the cause. Accelerates the timing of menopause.
Menopause is a natural transition; can be a great time for women, but often cortisol affects production of sex steroids as adrenals take over for production of hormones in ovaries after menopause. And, cortisol always comes first!
HRT or not? When is it needed?
When symptoms affect your life. Estriol is great to use vaginally for dryness and pain with intercourse. Can be used long term. Beneficial for urinary tract health as well.
Sleep, energy, mood, and vasomotor symptoms- can try to use natural methods, but if not working bioidentical hormones are a great option.
The “marketing term” controversy regarding BHRT.
Long term HRT often used for bone health, brain function, and CV risk reduction in some women.
Stress & Adrenals
The body shuts down the hormones healthy metabolism to keep the “running from the zebra” body’s perceived danger. Nearly every woman’s adrenals (hidden stress) steals from their thyroid and sex hormones.
Women experience early menopause, infertility, hair loss, mood swings, lack of sex drive, and all the other “unexplainable symptoms”.
So the question is - How to support your adrenals so all the other symptoms will vanish?
Lifestyle factors that allows us all begin to heal now?
Endocannabinoid Deficiency Syndrome:
The female endocrine system is lined with CB2 receptors. This can be migranes, gut issues, PMS, to hot flashes.

As a salon owner, thinning hair specialist and product formulator, I hear you - and feel you.
Have hope, here are the show notes to our Awaken Beauty Podcast episode titled:
**Rise to the Top with 15 Steps to Get to the Root of Hair Loss **
Fact: Thirty percent of women report serious hair loss by age thirty. By age fifty, that statistic climbs to 50 percent.
It’s demoralizing, and conventional medicine often pats you on the back, murmuring, “You’re getting older; it’s normal.” As someone who has struggled personally with hair loss and heard that same message from a doctor, I find that answer completely unsatisfying and more importantly, unnecessary. So if you have hair loss, take heart, help is on the way.
Before I start looking for a solution to their hair loss in a box from the drugstore or a pill bottle from a dermatologist, I encourage clients to look inside their bodies.
Getting to the Root: Causes of Hair Loss
Sometimes hair loss is associated with a simple root cause. Most of the time, there are hormonal imbalances such as thyroid, insulin, or testosterone. Occasionally, hair loss is linked to physical and emotional trauma, and probably dysregulation of cortisol.
I’ve also found underlying health conditions such as autoimmunity as the root cause.
To find a particular reason for hair loss, most functional medicine practitioners order a blood panel to test several hormones and conditions.
Correcting hair loss is all about sussing out the cause. For example, some women make too little thyroid hormone to grow their hair – and the body is trying to heal, making it a lower priority than, say, keeping your body warm.
Other women make too much of the male hormone testosterone and that causes balding, although the main culprit is a metabolite (daughter) of testosterone called (DHT)
Here are the most common causes of hair loss:
1. Low thyroid
Rapid hair loss can be an early sign of a thyroid problem, often first diagnosed in the beauty salon. In addition to thinning and shedding, your hair can become coarse, dry, and easily tangled.This kind of general hair loss will slow and eventually stop once your hormone levels are stabilized. But sometimes the problem continues even after treatment, especially if you’re taking levothyroxine, a synthetic hormone often used to treat hypothyroidism. Excessive or prolonged hair loss is a known side effect of this drug. Look into this if you’re still losing hair despite what your doctor calls sufficient treatment.
Do this: Work with a functional medicine practitioner with experience treating thyroid conditions. Get a full thyroid blood panel (see below). Sometimes micronutrient deficiencies such as low selenium or zinc are a reason for faulty thyroid function, or you may have autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis), which needs to be addressed with a full functional medicine protocol. Because changes in dose can trigger hair loss, low and slow is the goal with any medication. Some people find their hair loss diminishes if they take Thyrolar, a synthetic combination of both thyroid hormones, T4 and T3.
2. Low iron, low lysine
In one study, 90 percent of women with thinning hair were deficient in iron and the amino acid lysine.1 Lysine helps transport iron, which is essential for many metabolic processes.
Do this: Measure your ferritin levels, the most sensitive indicator of iron in the body. You need a minimum of 40 to grow new hair, and a healthy range is 70–80. Make sure you get your daily dose of iron from grass-fed red meat and greens. Good sources of lysine are foods rich in protein. Add lysine to your diet with foods rich in protein, such as meat and poultry, soy, eggs, cheese (especially Parmesan), and some fish (cod, sardines). If you need additional doses of an iron supplement, be sure to have a functional medicine practitioner track your ferritin so you don’t get too much and trigger iron overload.
3. Androgenic alopecia
This is the most common type of hair loss and affects 30 percent of women.2 The typical pattern for hereditary female-pattern hair loss, or androgenic alopecia, is a widening part or noticeable thinning of hair, particularly over the mid-frontal portion of the scalp.
Sometimes women with androgenic alopecia have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Typical signs and symptoms are ovarian cysts, irregular periods, weight gain, blood sugar problems, infertility, and hair loss. The problem may be exacerbated in some patients taking drugs for thyroid problems. Approximately 22 percent of women with PCOS have androgenic alopecia.3
The good news is that you can often stop and even reverse the symptoms of hair loss once you balance your hormones.
Do this: Run the full blood panel (see below). This is where evening primrose oil can help. Besides inhibiting DHT, the main culprit behind androgenic alopecia, evening primrose oil is a good source of essential fatty acids, and the symptoms of hypothyroidism are quite similar to those for insufficient essential fatty acids. See The Hormone Cure, chapter 9, for the full protocol. Berberine and inositol may be helpful to reset hormones. As always, I advocate a “food first” strategy along with taking targeted supplements. If changing your food and supplement plan doesn’t result in more hair on your head, then discuss with your functional medicine practitioner if minoxidil might be a good idea. (Minoxidil or Rogaine is approved for women for this type of hair loss and available over the counter.)
4. Not enough protein
If you don’t get enough protein in your diet, your body may enter famine mode and shut down your hair growth. This may occur about two to three months after a drop in protein intake.
Do this: Eat clean protein from fish, grass-fed meat, eggs, and quinoa. Read The Hormone Reset Diet, page 232, for a more complete list.
5. Excess vitamin A
Maybe you just started taking a new multivitamin or started on a supplement containing vitamin A. You may have driven your vitamin A levels too high, which may trigger hair loss.
Do this: Total intake of vitamin A should be no more than 5,000 International Units (IU) per day. When you remove excess vitamin A, your hair should grow normally again.
6. Stress hormones—from physical or emotional stress
Any kind of physical or emotional trauma can trigger telogen effluvium: surgery, weight loss, eating disorder, car accident, illness, troubled marriage, sick kid. Hair grows on a programmed cycle that involves a growth phase, rest phase, and shedding phase. Big emotional and/or physical stressors can cause the hair to lock down in the shedding phase.
Do this: If you clear the stress, the telogen effluvium usually clears in three to six months as your body recovers.
7. Fluctuating female hormones of pregnancy, perimenopause, going on/off birth control pills
This may also cause telogen effluvium, especially if you have a family history of hair loss.
Do this: Keep hormones as stable as possible by mitigating stress. In pregnancy, if you lose more hair postpartum than before you got pregnant, see your healthcare professional and run the blood panel (see below) to see if there’s an underlying thyroid and/or autoimmune condition.
8. Menopause
Sadly, hair follicles can shrink in menopause, making the hair finer and more likely to shed. It’s called “miniaturization,” and it’s totally unfair. One study suggests that the ratio of estradiol-to-testosterone may influence hair loss in women and that low ratios may be the culprit in some cases.4
This ratio typically decreases during menopause. Not surprisingly, another study showed that women treated with bioidentical estradiol had less hair loss. 5
Do this: If you’re over forty, talk to your functional medicine practitioner about whether bioidentical estrogen may be right for you. You need to be followed by a gynecologist to make sure you stay safe and don’t develop side effects and adverse events, such as blood clots, endometrial cancer, stroke, breast cancer, heart disease.
9. Vitamin B deficiency
This can be exacerbated by stress or taking birth control pills, both of which deplete B vitamins in the body.
Do this: Between food intake and supplementation, you should be able to correct the problem. Rich sources of vitamin B include meat, fish, starchy vegetables, and some fruits.
10. Lack of fat
If you go low-fat in your food plan, you may consume fewer calories, nutrients, and more carbohydrates than your body requires. Most importantly, you may miss out on essential fatty acids, omega 3 and 6, which nourish the scalp and stabilize hair growth. The stress of restricting a macronutrient such as fat (or carbs or protein) may force more hair follicles to enter the telogen phase. Similar to the low thyroid state, your body gets the message to ration; there isn’t enough fuel to support the growth phase.
Do this: Maintain a balanced diet rich in “good” fats such as from coconut, avocado, and nuts—good for your hair and your health. Don’t skip out on macronutrients, but find the matching diet for your locks.
11. Autoimmunity
Sometimes the problem is alopecia areata, which appears as hair loss in round patches on the head, and sometimes the problem is autoimmune thyroiditis. Either way, the cause is an overactive immune system. The body misidentifies the hair as foreign and attacks it.
Do this: Work with a functional medicine clinician to reverse autoimmune thyroiditis. Consider starting an autoimmune protocol for food. In some cases, you may need to see a dermatologist for steroid injections.
12. Medications
Some medications such as beta-blockers, antidepressants, lithium, blood thinners, methotrexate, NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen) can cause hair loss.
Do this: If you’re taking one of these medications, talk to your medical professional about alternatives.
13. Overdoing hair care and products
Hair dye, frequent shampooing, other treatments, products, and vigorous styling can traumatize your hair follicles and lead to hair loss.
Do this: Wash your hair less often. The American Academy of Dermatology suggests that you let your hair air dry and limit hot devices (like flat irons and curling irons) to once per week or less. I know, I know, I love blowouts, too. Once per week, max!
14. Insulin resistance and blood sugar problems
Insulin, that helper hormone in charge of regulating blood sugar levels, also affects hair growth. Half of the female patients and 60 percent of male patients with androgenic alopecia have a constellation of signs and symptoms related to insulin resistance, blood sugar abnormalities, hypertension, and abnormal cholesterol.6 Another study found that androgenic alopecia may be an early marker of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease in men.7 So it could be for women as well.
Do this: The good news is that cutting sugar and artificial sweeteners, being active, and losing weight can reverse insulin resistance and lower your chances of hair loss.
15. Aging
While the aging-related cause isn’t totally clear, it probably has to do with the hair follicle slowing down and getting depleted.
Do this: Well, we are all getting older. The key is your biological age as opposed to your chronological age. To learn more about an upcoming Ecourse on how to slow down aging and prevent hair loss, complete this quick questionnaire.
The blood panel I order
My advice is to try therapies aimed at the root cause of your hair loss first. Ask your doctor for my top blood tests, including these:
Complete blood count (a measure of whether you are anemic and your immune system is functioning)
Ferritin (the most sensitive test for iron stores in your body) – you may want to run a full iron panel
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free T3, free T4, and possibly, reverse T3, thyroid peroxidase antibodies, anti-thyroglobulin antibodies
Cortisol, ideally free and metabolized in a 4-point measurement in the urine
Fasting insulin and glucose
Testosterone (I prefer total and free testosterone in women with hair loss)
Antinuclear antibody (tells you whether the hair loss is related to an autoimmune condition)
Bottom line: When it comes to your hair loss and prescription therapies, we want to re-proportion your hormones, not search and destroy. So I highly recommend that you get to the root of your hair loss by finding the cause. Work with a collaborative health professional. View hair loss as an important message from your body that needs to be decoded. Often when you heal your hair loss, you heal other systems in your body, such as your gut, immune system, and endocrine system.
Now it’s your turn.
Have you experienced significant hair loss?
Did you find the root cause?
What solutions worked for you?

In this epic episode, I hand over my reference of “endocannabinoid mentor” to our guest Emma Chasen - a leading Cannabis Educator and Industry Consultant. In fact, I call her the Endocannabinoid System and Plant GURU!
For thousands of years, women have used cannabis to treat specific conditions, from inflammation to PMS. Emma uncovers how women possess more endocannabinoids like Anandamide in their bodies than men, often leading to a heightened sensitization to cannabis effects.
Our entire conversation is electric as we tap into the future of precision formulas, identifying sneaky taboo products, and how particular cannabinoids help replenishes female health and beauty.
With the abundant noise of productizing cannabis, I think we both would agree that the power starts with ourselves and by understanding the Intimate relationship between plants Phytonutrients impact within our unique personal biology. Enjoy as Emma and I go deep with you in our female empowering conversation.

This first mini episode is a showstopper for sure! I can guess you’ve probably purchased some coconut oil and slabbed it on your skin, thinking you’re getting the best and (cheap) skin benefit from this oil! OH NO HONEY, think again.
As a skincare creator, I absolutely understand the attraction to DIY products and keeping things simple. First off, our skin needs moisturizers to help prevent water loss. This is especially important for dry skin, dermatitis, aging and many other skin conditions.
I know it seems unavoidable since coconut oil is one (of many) natural oils that is often used as a moisturizer and seen as a miracle for everything! Just ask google. But the truth is, when applied to your skin, coconut oil can make your skin worse. Don’t get me wrong I certainly use coconut oil in a myriad of ways!
In this episode we’ll break down the top 3 ways coconut may make your skin worse in the long run and a bonus of what DIY oils to choose and a “Done For You option” I’ve developed and is found on Evoqbeauty.com

Hormones, hormones hormones. Part 2!
Did you know that your stress levels and hidden chemical-laden skincare products may actually be behind your stubborn weight gain to a myriad of other symptoms?
Many personal care products such as cosmetics, shampoos, and body lotions, contain harmful chemicals. For example, one of the most common chemicals found in personal care products is “Fragrance,” which can be made up of hundreds of various chemical compounds. Fragrances are linked to liver and kidney damage, cancer and endocrine disruption which interferes with your adrenal, thyroid and reproductive glands.
When we use these personal care products we can inhale the toxins as well as absorb them through our skin (the largest organ that connects to the inside of our body).
It’s simple enough just to say “Opt for natural plant-based alternatives with simple ingredients that have names you recognize…” its just as important to know the why and how to recognize the unwanted ingredients damaging our health.
Before we move forward, make sure you’re read up on how the pesky chemicals mimicking our estrogens succumb us and cause havoc in the first place!

I first learned about Laura Lagano by searching for other like minded powerful women that were knowledgeable in CBD with a background in Functional medicine. While I thought we were going to dig into hormones and cannabis the whole session, I was wrong. We landed on one consistent truth of holistically integrating our lifestyle with endocannabinoid support (CBD). Through our time, you’ll hear what most practitioners and retailers miss when it comes to the root reasons and how to use CBD and Marijuana.
About Laura
Laura Lagano’s journey initially started with her mother, who had a negative relationship with food, which inspired Lagano to go to school and study nutrition. Fast forward many years and Lagano see’s clients as a Registered Dietitian. Laura’s birth to her daughter, Isabella, suffered from developmental delay issues and seizures, so she started searching for new ways to combat her daughter’s challenges, which brought her to CBD after she heard that it was worked to combat seizures.
She is an Integrative Clinical Nutritionist, the author of - The CBD Oil Miracle, and co-founder and director of Holistic Canna--an online learning platform about integrating cannabis with other holistic approaches. Currently, Laura offers cannabis education for both professionals and patients, produces CBD-infused events, consults with cannabis-related companies, and serves on the advisory boards of several medical marijuana organizations.

Hi there! We’re breaking up the pattern today!
With a “quick start” personality and as a creative, I’m constantly inspired and I've found that there are some powerful ideas about happiness, how we analytically think (or don't), and human nature that don't quite fit the structure of the show.
So, I’d like to post this very first episode of an ongoing “Mini Awaken Episode” series.
I was talking to a good client of mine who’s a Ph.D. and scientist and she told me something interesting and is factually true.
She said...
1 year after graduation you forget your professors' name.
5 years after graduation you forget the classes you’ve taken
10 years after graduation you forget every fact you learned.
Now, I know with all of my education, this seems to be true - but there’s one exception. While I may not remember what I was tested on, or professors I had, I do remember certain moments with mental clarity.
One of them I remember is being in the back of a room in a class for Functional Medicine and we were on the final day of a 3-day weekend intensive on Clinical Nutrition.
On a whole other topic, I remember in a very vivid class discussion debrief with my Hypnotherapy Instructor who is an absolute genius, but his heart is even more profound.
He spoke about the moral responsibility and professionalism and awareness when working with families, and those fighting the fight of the deepest hopelessness in life - and when they’re on the brink of suicide. He made it very real for all of us by sharing 2 personal stories that he “missed the mark” and a day later a family member of his and a client took their lives. He saw the signs, but was either too tired or, had a personal relationship that he didn’t want to step on a family members toes during the holiday.
When I think back to these moments, there was one thing in common. It wasn’t the content that was being spoken but the passion and human connection that made an incredible impact on me.
I've always been intrigued about how much we love stories.
These shorter episodes will run the gamut. These upcoming mini episodes will be a cross between a personal or captured “AH-HA’ from a client, a controversial scientific truth that shines on bright and shiny objects pertaining to health and beauty, to quick debriefs on the industry's hottest topics.
These brief mini episodes are another way to explore the power of story, connection and captured insights for you to live more awake.
SO, I hope these mini-episodes will meet you where you are, and bring a higher level of awakening for all of us to ride the rising tides of personal truths together.
Let me know what you think!

I can feel your head nodding “yes,” as I state that as women, we play a complex and multi-faceted roles as caregivers for our kids, grandchildren, parents, partners and communities. So how do all of us super savvy females replenish our output? Listen up as we dive in with Aliza Sherman (CEO of Ellementa) and dialog on what women are seeking from cannabis and CBD ( and how it differs from men).
In fact, here are a couple of strong facts on men versus women pursuing hemp/cannabis:
○ Pain, & Arthritis are higher with a 3 to 1 ratio of women versus men.
○ Anxiety impacts more women (as much as 24 percent) than men.
○ Hormone dysregulation impacts women far more than men, increasing routine symptoms of PMS, Endometriosis, Migraines, Acne and more.
So from these statistics, we can conclude women are using CBD as a specific therapy for multiple diverse medical conditions—particularly pain, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders.
Enjoy the great insights Aliza brings around plant genetics, the artisanship of cannabis, growing a business once again in startup mode and personal reflections on how placing personal mortality front and center, helps us live more in the present.
About Aliza Sherman
Aliza is a Latina entrepreneur and CEO of Ellementa, Inc., the fastest growing global cannabis wellness network for women. She is also the publisher of HerCannaLife.com, a website showcasing women in the cannabis industry.
