Top 5 Mineral Makeup Takeaway Tips

1.  La Bella Donna's Loose Minerals are the BEST and cleanest on the market! With just 4 Ingredients, these lightweight minerals will block other conventional products from seeping into your skin.  "We get it!" If you have older makeup that you do not want to throw away, always dust on some loose minerals and protect your skin from the synthetics and dyes from drying out the skin or getting into your bloodstream!

They are also incredibly soothing, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and UV-proof!.  Especially great for all skin types-allergy-prone skin.

2.  ALL products within the line can be used on the lip, eye, as a rouge......they are interchangeable!

3.  Trick!  Want 'dewy skin" that GLOWs?   Apply your mineral loose powder first, and then follow up with a liquid.  This will pull the attention off of fine lines and uneven skin tone, while amping up an gloss and glow.

4.  Choosing the RIGHT eye color! The key to selecting an eye shadow palette is to consider your eye color. You want your eyes to pop and the best way to do this is to use a contrasting color palette on your lids. Blue eyes look great with golds and browns. Green eyes are wonderful with pinks and browns. Brown or dark brown eyes look wonderful with blues, greens or even deep, jewel colors. Taupe and lavender look great on all eye colors.

5.  LOVE the Baci Baci Lip Gloss. Developed as a vitamin c and organic lip treatment, full of anti-oxidants, and the Sodium Hyaluronate creates a moisture barrier.

BRIDGE the GAP between WELLNESS and BEAUTY

EXTERNAL:  Get the au-naturale alternative to conventional makeup! Synthetic ingredients and fillers actually reduce your skin's lipid protection and overall moisture.  Continual use of synthetics will dry out the skin, increases lines, cause stress and potential inflammation, and lastly leave the skin looking and feeling parched.

INTERNAL:   Our skin is the largest organ and everything we put on it is filtered through the liver just like the food that we eat. La Bella's minerals are micronized, therefore they will never leach into the body. Chemical build up in our adipose tissue (fat) increases our chances of dis-ease.

THYROID MYTHS AND TRUTHS with CHRIS KRESSER

Hello Informed Beaute'!   When talking about thyroid with guests, the conversation is usually related to hair loss, the thinning of eye brows, and weight gain.   Effecting over 60% of women, your thyroid plays a key role in helping you metabolize food, store and use energy, manage your weight and temperature control, think, talk, and yes, that cherished sleep. Hypothyroidism is growing common and is characterized by an underproduction of the hormones needed to support your activity on a daily basis. As a result, it's only natural you may experience fatigue, poor concentration, cold sensitivity, weight gain, dry skin, hair loss, and irritability.

The brain and thyroid communicate with the body to maintain optimal balance. In a healthy state, the brain produces thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH prompts your thyroid to produce the thyroid hormone T4 (thyroxine), which is then converted in other parts of the body to T3 (triiodothyronine), the form our cells use most effectively. In the case of hypothyroidism, either the thyroid’s ability to make and release T4, or the body’s ability to convert T4 to T3, becomes compromised, often showing up in the form of elevated TSH.  Have I lost you?

Top Hormone Test Suggestions by Dr. Sara Gottfried

I love this and I love cutting the 'fat!'  DR. SARA GOTTFRIED has provided very useful information below on understanding steps every woman can start to understand and take in testing their personal hormonal levels.  Each woman truly is unique with their own set of stressors that are both internal and external.   Now beware, this can still be confusing, but the provided information from Sarah starts to unwind the confusion!

You can’t start improving something until you understand your baseline.   Here are some tests I 
commonly recommend. Once you get the test results, you’ll know a starting point and which “fire” needs to be put out first.

Top Hormone Test Suggestions 

1. Blood Panel

Blood tests are most commonly used by conventional physicians, so starting with blood is a good starting bridge for those who rely on insurance dollars, as well as commonality with your doctor.

Ask your doctor to order:

• VAP cholesterol [This is extensive and includes subtypes of LDL and HDL plus lipo(a), VLDL

• Ferritin

• TSH

• Free T3

• Reverse T3

• Cortisol

• DHEA

If you’re overweight: leptin, insulin. IGF-1 (growth hormone)

2. DIY: Your doctor will not run the tests or you’d like to pursue on your own.

I recommend the Canary Club or ZRT Labs.

http://www.zrtlab.com Comprehensive Female Profile I (Saliva/Blood) Comprehensive Female Profile II (Saliva/Blood)

3.  http://www.canaryclub.org/ Recommended: Advanced Plus Hormone Profile

4. Complete Hormone Profile

If your doctor is the more open-minded type, check this Genova test. It will tell you about your adrenals, both short-and long-term, and inform you of your estrogen metabolism – that is, do you have a modifiable tendency toward breast cancer or not?

5. Let NutrEval Rock Your World

For those of you who really love to measure everything, and want to know where your nutritional deficiencies are...consider your prayers answered: http://www.gdx.net/product/10051. The cost is reasonable for people with insurance who qualify for Genova’s Pay Assured program at $169. Add on Vitamin D for $5.

6.  Mercury Rising?

I commonly see women with fatigue, hair loss, weight gain, low sex drive and underperforming thyroids. I encourage them to test for mercury from Mercout.com.

7.  Telomeres, My Telomeres

For those soul sisters who delight in quantifying biological age, the best marker is your telomeres, the cute little caps on your chromosomes that keep your chromes from unraveling and are similar to shoelace caps. Get those telomeres tested at Spectracell.com

8.  Neuroendocrine Fun and Games

Finally, for women in perimenopause with the usual suspects of more stress/irritability/waning libido & focus, one of my favorite tests is the Neuroendocrine 3 panel (9505) from Neuroscience. This tests looks 
at the intersection of your hormones with your neurotransmitters. It’s very satisfying, and it generates a personalized amino-acid balancing protocol.

This test is excellent for women trying to get off antidepressants, sleeping pills or anxiety medication.

9. Pathway Fit

The Pathway Fit test gives you a personalized look into your genetic code. It analyzes your metabolism, eating habits, and the way your body responds to exercise. The test, along with a lifestyle questionnaire, tells you how to optimize your diet, workouts and lifestyle for a strong metabolism. Talk about a tailored weight loss plan!

https://www.pathway.com/dna-reports/pathway-fit

10. Genova - Menopause

The Menopause Plus test by Genova Diagnostics will test your melatonin and cortisol levels, as well as your estrogen and progesterone.

BIG Step – Baby Steps

This may seem like a overwhelming list. Step 1 of an important process: figuring out the root cause of your health issues. Once you know the area that is causing the most harm and start to treat it, you’ll be amazed at how the rest of your body starts to return to balance too.

Blind Spots and How to Proceed

It is highly recommended you work with a partnered functional medicine practicioner, Doctor, DO, etc.

The key here is to measure, manage, and improve your hormonal equilibrium with objective tests – combined with a honest assessment of your values, genetic tendencies, current health, lifestyle and blind spots.

Congratulations on your commitment to optimal “beautiful health.”
