They were advised correctly! Here's the science behind these natural ingredients and how I use them: -Frankincense: Contains boswellic acids and other beneficial compounds that have been studied for their effects on inflammatory pathways and skin remodeling. Healthy skin remodeling helps s

My toxic mold exposure symptoms

Mold toxicity was driving up my histamine levels, and this is what it was doing to my body: - Anxiety and OCD: I felt constantly on edge, like my nervous system couldn't relax. Histamine isn't just involved in allergies, it also acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain and can influence

A natural retinol that's easier on the skin!

Bakuchiol is a plant-derived alternative to retinol that has been shown in studies to improve things like fine lines, skin texture, and tone...without the dryness and irritation many people experience with traditional retinoids. It's one of my natural skincare MVPs! #naturalskincare #bak

Over-40 skincare essentials

Here's why these over-40 skincare essentials work so well: - Collagen Support: Collagen production naturally declines beginning in our 20s, so supproting this process as we age is key. I personally use a collagen generator as opposed to straight collagen to support my body's natural pro

The hidden science of aloe vera

I’ve been blown away by the research on this: We were taught aloe was just “the sunburn plant”… but the inner gel (and a polysaccharide called acemannan) has been studied for decades. For me, the most impressive research has been around: -Immune system signaling -Inflammatory pathways -F

Things I WILL NOT do as a holistic girlie

Here are the reasons why after years in this space: - Carnivore: it can be therapeutic short-term for some, but long-term it isn't ideal. I know way too much about the power of plants to avoid them. Also, fiber is our friend! - Raw animal products: there are real pathogen risks. Whether

Science and Christianity aren't compatible?

I beg to differ. Here's what these books and documentaries explore: - Is Genesis History?: Explores Genesis through a young-earth creationist lens, featuring scientists and scholars discussing geology, fossils, astronomy, biology, artifacts, and biblical interpretation. - Mountains After

THIS is why I stopped using nano-hydroxyapatite

The internet told us that nano-hydroxyapatite was the cleaner, safer swap for fluoride. But the deeper I researched the science, the more complicated the conversation became. Here’s what often isn't explained: - “Hydroxyapatite” and “nano-hydroxyapatite” are not automatically the same thing.

Nano-hydroxyapetite made my teeth worse!

Nano-hydroxyapatite is everywhere right now in holistic wellness circles, and while some do well on it, I personally didn’t have a good experience. I’ll admit I haven’t tried every single brand or formulation… but after talking with my holistic dentist and simplifying my routine, my mouth improv

What helps with skin elasticity as we age

This is what actually helps with elasticity and how I use them. As someone in their 40s and with gene mutations that affect my collagen, this is something I’ve researched A LOT: - Zinc sunscreen every morning: UV exposure is one of the biggest drivers of collagen and elastin breakdown. Zinc

People pleasing and auto-immune connection ❤️‍🩹

Something I learned the hard way is that when you’re constantly striving, over-giving, and putting pressure on yourself to “get it right,” your body can stay in a prolonged stress response. Over time, this can look like: -chronic tension stored in the body (fascia) -dysregulated stress hor

They said I needed Botox...I didn't listen

Here’s how I use each of these (and why). Everyone says you need retinol or Botox for good skin as you get older… but this is the approach that’s worked for me instead: - Oil cleansing: keeps my barrier intact while removing buildup. I use jojoba oil or a cream cleanser as a facewash with

An injector accused me of getting Botox...

People question it and I honestly get why. But it’s not injectables. Paracress is an herb that’s been studied for its ability to temporarily soften the appearance of micro-tension in the skin when used topically. I pair that with things that support collagen over time: - topical vitamin C

Saffron for anxiety? What the research says...

A holistic practitioner told me about saffron years ago. She had me sprinkling the threads into tea at night, and I honestly didn’t think much of it at the time. Fast forward, I finally went down the research rabbit hole… and I was not expecting this. Saffron has actually been studied in mult

Taking collagen? Wear sunscreen!

You can’t out-supplement UV damage. I’m 43 with a genetic mutation that affects my collagen production, so this is something I’ve spent a lot of time researching. Yes—supporting collagen matters more as we age, especially heading into perimenopause and menopause. But if you’re taking colla
