PEMF Mat for Stress Reduction +

Healing Therapy

(includes Red Light and TENS modalities!)

Why PEMF?

PEMF is a rehabilitation therapy that helps regenerate damaged or injured cells, increases microcirculation and supports the energy factories within your cells to re-energize and give your body what it needs to heal on a cellular level.

Our bodies use electromagnetic signals to function. Without electricity, there would be no life on this planet. If our cells have the right electrical charge, the body instinctively knows what to do and can repair itself in times of...

Biohacking: Part 1

(**Be sure to look for Part 2 dropping later this season!)

Did you know there are modalities that can lengthen and healthify your life by hacking your unique biology, then making lifestyle and habit adjustments?

There are so many ways to biohack your health -- this is where science meets your unique biology mixed with self-experimentation -- and we are going to unpack many of them in this Part 1 of 2 episodes dedicated to learning even more about biohacking!

In this Part 1 episode, we will cover benefits and best use practices for:

• Intermittent Fasting
• Infrared Saunas
• Red Light Therapy
• P.E.M.F. mats
• T.E.N.S. therapy

*********************

    BEST + MOST AFFORDABLE INFRARED SAUNA & RED LIGHT THERAPY

To say I LOVE my infrared sauna with red light therapy is an understatement. You'll find me in my cocoon of warmth and renewal nearly every day for 30-50 minutes. I jones when I don't get into it before or after a workout.

The clinical proof abounds for the health benefits of this type of sauna and red light therapy.

Want one for yourself? Or want to grab the top PEMF mat out there, which also comes with red light therapy and a TENS unit for muscle stim?

My fave brand for all this -- and also the most affordable infrared sauna I have found (that is also FDA-approved, backed by incredible research, and the company makes it a priority to ensure the materials used reduce toxic burden and/or do not add to it) -- is Therasage.

And yes - the brand also now offers COLD PLUNGE therapy with their new TheraFrost -- the most advanced portable cold plunge system with a unique cooling system that bursts ozone into your water for purity.

Why is detoxing essential for longevity and to fend off chronic disesase? What is detoxing really? Do you fear it entails something you have to endure with discomfort, discipline, and deprivation?

It's NOT what you may think!

In this episode, you will learn:

• Broad and focused strokes of detoxing your body "whole"-istically.
• The importance of reintroducing foods gradually after a cleanse or detox
• How to monitor your body’s response to specific foods post-cleanse
• How to finally uncover and identify food sensitivities

• How regular detox practices can support ongoing health and wellness
• The empowering effect of making intentional, health-conscious choices for long-term wellness
• Practical steps to elevate your health and well-being through personalized dietary choices
• The value of small, consistent adjustments to achieve optimal health

I'm super picky about what I recommend. While always looking for ways to level up my nutrition game AND to detox...

I stumbled upon something seriously awesome. Algae tablets!

I didn't realize how much nutrition is packed into these little pieces of food. Actual, pure food. NOT a supplement. Yet these little guys will NOT break your intermittent fast, and they WILL help curb the hunger while giving you a good dose of nutrition! I use both spirulina (more protein per gram than meat!) and chlorella (especially in the evening for detoxing overnight)!

So, if you're up for leveling up your nutrition game every day, give 'em a shot.
