A Quick List of Gluten-Free Ingredients to Avoid

Whether it be by necessity or by choice, living the gluten-free lifestyle is a significant change for anyone to take on and accomplish.

As a response to celiac disease or numerous other gluten-related sensitivities, or because living without gluten just makes you feel better in your everyday activities, the transition to being gluten-free is one that can be long and full of questions.   

Here is a list of foods and ingredients that contain gluten to help you when you’re at the food store. Take time to look at the labels of all your packaged foods BEFORE you purchase them. 

Watch for gluten lurking derivatives in cereal and bread and be aware of added sugars and other inflammatory ingredients in gluten-free packaged foods. 

There are great gluten-free brands out there but there are also many unhealthy gluten-free foods that line the aisles of the food store so beware.

All the best in health and beauty to you as you start and /or continue on your journey to a healthier you.

Enjoy!

"MY FAVORITE GO-TO NATURAL BRONZER, EVER!"

"That's what she said....."

Local Beauty Blogger Elizabeth Dehn favors Evoq's Self-Tanner as her

"MOST - LOVED NATURAL BRONZER, EVER!"

Liz: "It’s that time of year again. I’ve slathered myself in every cream, gel and spray I could get my hands on to bring you this self-tanner report."

Only instead of a roundup, I’ve got just one:

 Evoq Beauty Sunless Tanner ($32). 

The packaging isn’t much to look at but the ingredients, scent and results are beyond gorgeous. Coconut oil and shea butter make it impossibly moisturizing (and far underpriced), while Kasia’s healthy standards mean it’s free of petro-chemicals, parabens, glycols and other preservatives. I’ve NEVER smelled a self-tanner that doesn’t smell like self-tanner, let alone one that smells like honey buns, fresh from the oven.

And the color? A beautiful bronze that lasts FOR DAYS. I’ve never seen—or used—anything like it.
 

Tired, Dry Skin, Weight Gain: Get to the root (it's not just stress)

Are you challenged with daily vital energy, dry skin, weight gain, hair loss or depression?

LOVING LIFE AGAIN

There are so many possible causes for these kinds of problems that it is easy to assume you're "just not getting enough sleep," however, it could be a condition that is all-to-often overlooked. 

Defining Subclinical hypothyroidism ("mild thyroid failure")

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped endocrine gland located at the base of your throat. This tiny organ has a huge responsibility; it makes thyroid hormones, which are secreted into the blood and then carried to every tissue in your body. Thyroid hormones regulate your metabolism, which helps your body use energy, maintain proper temperature, and keeps your organs (brain, heart muscles, etc.) functioning.

Most physicians simply test a patient's TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) and T4 (thyroxine) levels in order to determine whether a thyroid condition exists. If the patient's levels are within the normal range, then the patient is told, "it's not your thyroid." But that's not the full picture!

Beauty Biology Breakdown
Our hormones work together like thermostats: when one level is activated, the other shuts off, and vice versa. That's how your thyroid hormones work as well: The hypothalamus (a tiny gland located in the brain) releases a substance called thyrotroptin-releasing hormone (TRH), which triggers the pituitary gland to release the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH then triggers your thyroid gland to produce two hormones: triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4).

The T4 and T3 hormones circulate through your bloodstream "bound" to proteins, although a small percentage is considered "free," or unbound. Some T4 gets converted to T3 as it moves through multiple tissues and organs (notably the liver, brain, and muscle). Some T4 and T3 are separated from their protein carriers during these processes, becoming "free" again to exert a metabolic effect on the body.

Stopping the cycle and getting clear.
The thyroid complex. If you or someone you know suspects a thyroid issue, or simply wants to rule one out, it is important to consult with a clinician who is experienced in thyroid hormone dysfunction. Blood tests should be ordered to put together the clearest picture of how your thyroid hormones are working -- or not. For example, the "Total T4" test can tell your medical practitioner how much T4 your thyroid is producing, while the "Free T3" test helps to show how much is "bio-available" for the cells and tissues of your body. 

In the case of subclinical hypothyroidism, the TSH blood test levels are typically normal or just slightly elevated while the T4 and T3 levels appear in the low to normal range -- in addition to the patient experiencing classic (though mild) symptoms of hypothyroidism.

Is it really a "normal range?"
Even in this low-normal range, your thyroid may still be low-functioning (in the 10th percentile), creating symptoms that can significantly impact your quality of life. Every organ in your body relies on a healthy thyroid!

Getting the root with 21st Century Internal Medicine Providers

At BE, I refer our clients to top level internal medicine professionals that order blood tests that reveal the full picture of how your thyroid hormones are functioning, including TSH, Free T3, Free T4, TPO (Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody), TGA (Thyroglobulin Antibody), and Reverse T3.

By working with trained functional medicine practitioners, they better understand the subtle signs of an imbalance, and carefully treat patients for subclinical hypothyroidism when symptoms are present.

IN ONE ACHORD

A Daily CBD Oil Tincture for Harmonic Re.Leaf

Your Endocannabinoid Ecosystem + Terpenes & The Entourage Effect

Phyto-cannabinoid (CBD) is a hemp plant extract that offers all the healing benefits of the plant without the psychoactive high. CBD directly enhances our endocannabinoid ecosystem (ECS).

The human body contains millions of cannabinoid receptor sites in our endocrine system. CB1 receptors are primarily located in the brain, along with the lungs, liver, and kidneys. CB2 receptors are found mostly within the immune system.

Our endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a living neural network regulating the  intrinsic tissue  in our body  and  is made up of millions of receptor sites which signal molecules and hormones throughout our body to either activate healing or signal discomfort.

Because the ECS regulates homeostasis, an imbalance in the body’s ECS could be the underlying cause behind many diseases and disorders from inflammatory and autoimmune diseases to depression, fatigue, and chronic pain. When activated, CBD receptor sites produce a heightened sense of well-being, elevated health, and enhanced energy.  
 

The Call For Balance
 

Due to our stressful lives, many suffer from inefficient mitochondrial function causing fatigue, leaky gut syndrome, anxiety and oxidative stress (accelerated aging).   

CBD helps proper genetic cell to cell communication where the conversation in our body becomes a pleasant and resonate one that brings satisfaction and fulfillment.

 Our healing CBD solutions focus on maintaining inner-outer homeostasis and building well-being and vitality while supporting healthy aging.

ENHANCED TERPENES
 

Terpenes Glossary

What are Terpenes?

Terpenes are the fragrance molecules found emanating from all plants - including cannabis, which offers a unique scent from one strain to the next. The fragrant imprint of each plant is a result of different combinations of terpenes. Cannabis is unique in that each strain has a unique profile of terpenes. Terpenes are believed to exhibit medicinal properties independent from the cannabinoids. Overall, terpenes contribute to a strain's particular influence - a phenomenon known as the entourage effect.

---

EVOQ TINCTURE TERPENES

---

Myrcene

Beta-myrcene is the most common terpene in cannabis, and it is also found in hops, eucalyptus, mango, bay leaves, and lemongrass. Its aroma has been described as “herbal, balsamic, rooty, or spicy.” It helps ease pain and inflammation, and it relaxes muscles.

---

Limonene

Limonene is the second-most-common terpene in cannabis. The aroma is found in citrus plants and is commonly used in lemony-fresh cleaning solvents and natural insect repellants. Limonene fights tumors and bacterial infections, stimulates the immune system, relieves depression and anxiety, and treats gastric reflux and ulcers.

---

Pinene

As you might guess from the name, this compound is commonly found in pine trees and other coniferous plants.  It helps dilate the bronchial tubes, reduce inflammation, kill bacteria, and increase cognitive function.

---

Beta-Caryophyllene

Like many cannabinoids, beta-caryophyllene binds to the CB2 receptor, found mostly in the immune system. Beta-caryophyllene is antibacterial and antiseptic, and it eases inflammation, nerve pain, ulcers, and depression.

How Can CBD help so many conditions?

It's SIMPLE: 

Our body has an important system called the The Endocannabinoid System, named after the plant that helped us discover it.  It wants to maintain balance, called homeostasis.  

In order to create homeostasis, our body leverages tools in the form of nutrients and compounds from everything we ingest (including the air we breath and water we drink).

A special set of nutrients called Cannabinoids promote homeostasis at every level of biological life, from the sub-cellular to the organism, and perhaps to the community and beyond.

8 Ways CBD is Changing Lives -

Whole-istically.....

1. Muscle, Joint, and Organ Health Support

Inflammatory diseases can be crippling—Rheumatoid arthritis for instance, is caused by the body’s immune system attacking itself, and causes severe inflammation. Research at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology suggests that CBD can support healthy joint, muscle, and organ function.

2. Anxiety and Depression

Endocannabinoids (ECS) are chemical compounds that play a key role in memory, mood, brain reward systems, drug addiction, and energy balance. As the name suggests, they are activated by the same receptors as CBD. Research has been conducted and reported to show the benefits of the ECS system in relation to combating depression, anxiety, increase appetite, and create feelings of well-being. CBD naturally acts on the ECS system’s signals to reportedly increase receptor function and flow.

3. Increase Appetite In Ill Patients

A common downside to many illnesses is malnutrition and prolonged hospital visits in patients. Patients who undergo chemotherapy for instance, regularly talk about having no desire to eat, adding to their lack of energy. Medication, illnesses, and mental reaction to illnesses can cause the ECS system to reduce the desire of appetite. For centuries, CBD has shown itself to promote appetite. The “munchies” as so many call it, can be beneficial in giving ill patients the desire to indulge in food and promote a healthy body while they receive treatment. Proper nourishment increases the patient’s chance to combat illness.

4. Support Brain Health

An estimated 5.3 million people have Alzheimer’s in the United States. Of those, two-thirds are women. CBD promotes immunity health and promotes healthy organ, muscle, and joint function. Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and multiple sclerosis all lead to degeneration of the brain, but studies show that increased ECS activity can aid in reducing the onset of degenerative brain diseases. Use of CBD can increase activity in the ECS system.

5. Anti-psychotic Effects

Research suggests that CBD is able to limit psychotic episodes that are usually associated with excessive THC intake. From there, researchers then were able to suggest that CBD may be able to promote therapeutic relief in various forms of psychosis. CBD is all-natural and offers no side effects, while most anti-psychotic drugs have numerous side effects.

6. Slow Brain Aging

Our brains naturally deteriorate with time. Oxygen being a contributor to agingmay no longer have as strong of an impact, thanks to recent CBD research. A 2012 study suggests that increasing activity in the CBD system may promote oxygen cleaning from the brain. This would remove free radicals, which damage cells over time. Free radicals are unavoidable, as they are a product of the foods and drinks we ingest, our environment, and the various topical items we place on our skin. Being able to cancel free radicals, increase the longevity of cells throughout the body and’ allows for prolonged function.

7. Increase Brain Activity

CBD has been shown to improve the efficiency of mitochrondria, the energy source for cells. The oxygen cleanse which also reduces the brain’s aging process, plays a part in also increasing brain activity. Through destroying free radicals, mitochondria are able to function properly. Because the brain has an extremely high energy demand it is important to over-exceed this demand to increase proper brain functioning.

8. Anti-Bacterial

As a natural resource, reportedly CBD also has the ability to provide antibacterial support to the body. Since 1950, CBD has been used for tuberculosis and other diseases. As more bacteria begin to evolve and find resistance to prescribed antibiotics, CBD is all natural and promote healthy immune response to bacteria.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), is a bacteria that is resistant to most antibiotics, and in the United States it kills about 18,000 of the 94,000 people it infects yearly. A study from the University of London claims that CBD provided potent activity against a variety of MRSA strains.

Marijuana legalization is slowing spreading throughout the U.S, especially for medical use. Meanwhile research steadily pours in for the controversial and possible ground-breaking health benefits of CBD, an active healing compound in the cannabis plant.

CBD, or cannabidiol, belongs to a class of compounds called cannabinoids, and is one of more than 60 compounds found in the cannabis plant. Cannabidiol (CBD) along with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are the two main ingredients in the marijuana plant. Chances are you are more familiar with THC, which is best known for being the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. CBD, however, is non-psychoactive. In other words, CBD can’t get you high.

The Benefits of
CBD
 

Phytocannabinoids are the herbal, natural, and classical cannabinoids found in the cannabis / hemp plant.
 

There are over 80 cannabinoids that have been isolated from the plant.

Cannabidiol (CBD), Cannabinol (CBN), and Terpenes are the most prevalent.
 

Cannabidiol (CBD) is non psychoactive and contains NO THC. In fact, it has been noted that CBD acts as an antagonist to THC and therefore it negates the psychoactive effects of THC (marijuana strain).
 

The human body has an Endocannabinoid system, which is why quality CBD has been shown to be an effective form of alternative treatment. The Endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a group of endogenous cannabinoid receptors located in the brain and throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems, consisting of neuromodulatory lipids and their receptors.

IN DEPTH
WHAT IS CANNABIDIOL (CBD) OIL?

CBD is derived from the stalk and seed of cannabis (hemp) plants, cannabidiol (CBD) oil is a natural botanical concentrate that is high in the compound CBD. Of the more than 85 cannabinoids so far identified in the cannabis plant, CBD is the second most common after tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychotropic and therefore doesn’t cause a euphoric high.

COMPONENTS THAT MAKE UP OUR CBD

We invest in a organic hemp and a highly specialized extraction process is used to yield highly concentrated CBD oil that also contains other nutritious material such as omega-3 fatty acids, terpenes, vitamins, chlorophyll, amino acids, and other phytocannabinoids like cannabichromene (CBD), cannabigerol (CBG), cannabinol (CBN) and cannabidivarian (CBCV).

WHOLE-PLANT HEMP AND THE ENTOURAGE EFFECT

Evoq products apply classic pharmaceutical principles to our cannabis products. The use of whole plant extracts that include trace cannabinoids and terpenes have shown a greater effect than a single cannabinoid isolate.

The whole-plant extract yields dose-dependent results—meaning there is a proportional increase in response and condition management as more whole-plant product is administered, without any plateau in benefits.  Formulations derived from whole plant extracts, have fewer adverse effects and lower overall toxicity than formulations composed of isolated plant components.

CELLULAR DEEP HEALING BENEFITS

Decades of research indicate that cannabinoids like CBD interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, a complex system that contributes to a variety of biological processes like inflammation, stress, headaches, autoimmune, anxiety, relaxation, sleeping, and appetite.

By linking with the two main types of cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2, which are found on cells throughout the body, CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system, helping it in the regulation of homeostasis — the body’s natural state of balance.

EVOQ CBD Oil Tincture vs CBD Oil Found Online

Not to be confused with regular hemp oil found online, and local vitamin stores throughout the US, Evoq CBD oil contains potent concentrations of Phyto cannabidiol CBD and 4 Terpenes. This potency, along with being FDA approved and made in the USA, is the reason it is being considered as an effective medical treatment for serious conditions such as cancer(s), inflammation, stress and skin conditions.

There have recently been a large outpour of websites popping up and offering fake oils, often labeled as “CBD oil”, this is simply low potency, cheap hemp oil that anyone can buy online. We encourage the public to do their research before getting scammed by these sites who are taking advantage of people.

Hey lovely!

Go no further and START HERE.  Remember this?  
 A pre-millennial, of course.....

so you're either sure or unsure

Deodorants.

I (much like you), was at a loss of mineral salts just "NOT WORKING " in performance, let alone the slew of other natural brands that simply hide chemicals or claimed that there are just a "little bit" of the potential harmful ingredients.  

You've maybe hunted the "DIY" online communities of skin care crafter concoctions - leaving you with a weird residue, yellow pit-stains and a by-product that actually made you smell worse.

 THE VERY WORST PART?  

Toxin overload!  

A fury of potential toxic ingredients promote the increase of breast cancer and other negative health issues by seeping into our skin, adipose tissue (fat) and bloodstream. 

 
Here’s why Evoq Pureoderant has been our TOP SELLER for over 6 years.

Aluminum

Aluminum is the active ingredient in most antiperspirants, and it functions by forming a precipitate that physically blocks sweat glands.  

“The reason chemical companies put aluminum in anti-perspirants is to “dry out sweat by injecting aluminum ions in the cells that line the sweat ducts. When the aluminum ions are drawn into the cells, water flows in; the cells begin to swell, squeezing the ducts closed so sweat cannot get out.””

Infertility to Breast Cancer

From infertility-causing ingredients to toxic chemicals linked to Alzheimer’s and breast cancer, antiperspirants host ingredients that are directly absorbed into the skin.

---

Common Toxic Antiperspirant Ingredient Side Effects

• Aluminum (Aluminum chlorohydrate and aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex glycine) – Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, skin irritation

• Parabens (methyl, ethyl, propyl, benzyl and butyl) – Endocrine disruption, environmental toxin, cancer, reproductive disorders, premature aging, immune toxicant, allergen

• Phthalates – Cancer, birth defects, infertility, allergen

• Proplyene glycol – Skin, eyes, and lungs irritation, reproductive and fetal neurotoxin linked to kidney and liver damage, enhanced skin absorption

• Silica – Possible carcinogen if contaminated with crystalline quartz, skin, eyes and lung irritation

• Steareths – Endocrine disruption, developmental/reproductive toxicity, skin irritation

• Talc – Non-reproductive organ system toxin, possible carcinogen

• Triclosan – Antibacterial agent banned in several countries due contribution to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, endocrine disruption, muscle weakness, skin, eyes, and lung irritation
