OUT OF 100% OF THE WORLD’S PEOPLE, ONLY 8% CAN LIVE TO 65 YEARS OLD.
If you are over 65 years old, be content and grateful. Seize life, seize the moment. You didn’t leave this world before you turned 65, like 92% of people who have died because of health. Cherish every moment you have left!
Andy S. shared this today. It may have come from Vadim T., 4/9/23. It is the end of a long comparison of numbers. I am working with people in the wellness sphere who are interested in being a robust part of this 8% group. There are things like telomeres, sarcopenia, inflammation, APO B, Lp(a), ALT, and others, that we are interested in nudging. Of course, waiting until 65 to start on this means you will have much more to work on. The really wise person starts much earlier. And that suggests that a wise parent starts asap with their child, even before there is a child. We can only hope for everything. Why do we wait when so much is known. Every day is still a school day, however there are many lifehacks that our grandmothers practiced-we have ignored or forgotten. Why? Now it the time. Do you know what the really most important thing is that you can do, that almost everyone can do in one way or another? Move. There are beautiful trails behind my house on the north side of Mt Tom. There is a 30 minute one and a 3 hour one-little known too. Come for a walk or a hike. We can use each other for an excuse to move. I’ll bring some good chocolate, just in case. If that doesn’t work, have, at least, a conversation. Thought for the day: “If you don’t ask the right question, you can’t get the right answer.” Dr.Jeffrey Bland. So ask me, or, I can ask you…

Today is Day 7 of our Challenge, and the last day.
How do you feel? 🌟Remember that skin cell turnover takes 40–56 days, so keep going, you WILL see a difference. The important thing is you’ve started the best possible practices for creating glowing skin! ✨
💚We have LOVED hosting this group and are so excited for our next Wellness Challenge group in March, Protein Powerup! Message us for more information. 💬This will be a great topic for many bodily function topics, biology, biochemistry, immunity, prenatal, sarcopenia, sports success and recovery, and much more. Be our guest. Ask for an invitation, asap. Mouth watering recipes too.

Why Collagen?
So…how much do you know about collagen? You may have heard collagen loss leads to signs of aging such as sagging skin, lackluster hair, and wrinkles.
Annnd… it’s true! Collagen is vital for youthful-looking skin 🌸, plus you need it for strong muscles and tendons and to hold your body together by anchoring cells to each other.💪
However, your body’s ability to make collagen declines with age because you may not absorb nutrients as readily or process them as efficiently as when you were younger.😟
👐All of this is why we love supplementing with collagen and collagen-building nutrients.
Collagen-9™and Up and Glowing are the best collagen-boosting products we have seen. Here’s the scoop on them.
Collagen-9™
What sets this beauty booster apart from other collagens? It provides ALL 9 essential amino acids required for protein and collagen synthesis, 10 g of collagen, and a powerful combination of biotin and vitamin C to promote healthy skin, hair, nails, and joints.* We put Collagen-9 in our Life Shakes and have seen improvements in our skin, joints, and hair.
Up and Glowing Vanilla Latte Mix
Rise and shine with a collagen vanilla latte for energy and beauty. Designed to enhance your natural energy with green tea extract and your hair, skin, and nails with collagen, vitamin C, biotin, and hyaluronic acid.* These key ingredients support collagen synthesis and help protect against damage from free radicals.*
Check out this yummy collagen recipe! What are you going to add Collagen-9 to?

Beauty Sleep
Don’t we all look better well-rested? 😅 Yep, science now confirms what our ancestors knew: Beauty Sleep is a thing!
HOW SLEEP HELPS YOU GLOW!
· It lowers premature aging – While the stress hormone cortisol can speed up the skin’s aging process, getting enough sleep means your body is spending less time with elevated cortisol levels. This is because your cortisol goes down as you sleep and goes up with a lack of sleep.
· It protects collagen – While you sleep, there is a type of collagen that repairs itself. Collagen is needed to keep your skin youthful and your hair shiny.
· It allows skin cell renewal – Sleep is when your skin cell renewal and repair happen.
How much beauty sleep do you need? 💤👑
These days experts recommend 7 – 9 hours of sleep per night. Some folks need a little more than others and factors such as high-intensity exercise, illness, and stress can increase your need for shuteye. (Only 5 percent of adults need less than 7 hours and that’s thanks to a genetic mutation).
💡SLEEP SUPPORT TIP
Boost your sleep AND hydration by enjoying a nice cup of Rest and Rewind Tea before bed. It provides calming ingredients like lemon balm and 5-HTP. I love that it has a lightly sweet, minty taste and contains anti-aging antioxidants, too.
➡️ 🤔 We’re curious: How easy is it for you to get 7 – 9 hours per night? Do you have a favorite sleep support tip? Please share! 🙂

The Glow Up Skin Care Challenge starts this Monday, the 26th. Your skin is a reflection of what is going on under it. Food for thought!!! There is a lot to it, come and learn with us. We have the building blocks, perhaps the remedies you may need. There will be great info, fun, seeing what others are doing, and lots more. People who participate love the Trackers. It is all yours for the asking, ’cause I have to send you the link. Just do it…

Skin care is a form of self-care. What’s good for your skin is good for your body and mind. Visit with us to learn more starting next Monday, Feb 25. Let me know so I can send the links to you.
Plus, using clean skincare products that feel good is a great way to practice self-care.
✨ Beautiful skin starts within, literally. It requires healthy practices, not just products.
For example, your skin needs a nutrient-rich diet. You could apply the most expensive products,
but without inner nourishment, your skin will never be as radiant as it could be.
It’s time to enjoy Beauty Foods!
HOW TO NOURISH YOUR SKIN
1. 🍓 Enjoy Antioxidant-Rich Foods
Antioxidants help protect your skin from the oxidative stress and free radicals that can
contribute to aging. Some Beauty Foods high in antioxidants? Berries, citrus fruits, leafy
greens, and nuts.
2. 🥑 Consume Healthy Fats, Especially Omega-3, 6, and 9 🐟
Wholesome fats are essential for skin flexibility and moisture! Healthy fats are so
important for your skin that 3 of the Beauty Foods––fatty fish, avocado, nuts and seeds–
–are loaded with them. We will talk about the almighty omegas tomorrow!
3. 🥗 Eat a Balanced, Nutrient-Dense Diet 🍏
Vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and wholesome fats and proteins provide essential
nutrients for your skin. Think fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean proteins, and foods with
healthy fats.
4. 🚫 Limit Sugar and Processed Foods
Refined sugars and highly processed foods may contribute to inflammation and may
negatively impact skin health.

he Glow Up Challenge!
Beautiful, radiant skin really comes down to a science. We’re going to talk about what causes
your skin to age and lose its radiance. Even better, we’ll be learning and practicing proven ways
to combat those “skin-emies” and maximize your glow!

the results in your skin. Skin cell turnover is 40–56 days, so with consistent skin care habits, you
will see a difference!

From Dr. Katie DiNello’s presentation tonight, a huge clinical pearl. We should stop beating around the bush on this, let go of procrastinating, the word has been out for some years now and we still have this, CVD, as our #1 killer worldwide. The fruits and vegetables do not have a plot against us. Oh, maybe I will have my salad tomorrow doesn’t cut it. What it may do is cut the number of days you will be around to have a salad. Take a look at the slide. If you are interested in a 20-30% removal of CVD burden, It takes less than a Calorie a minute to call me.
