Skin Dysbiosis: How To Protect Your Skin Microbiome, Part 1
July 27, 2021
The skin is the body’s largest organ. Every inch of it is covered with bacteria—sometimes up to a billion per square centimeter. That’s the skin microbiome. But those microbes on the skin surface can also influence the behavior of cells below the epidermis and, in turn, those cells communicate with our tissues, and even our brains. Kat James, award-winning author of “The Truth About Beauty” and renowned nutrition and inside-out transformation expert, has new scientific insights connecting our skin to our inner ecology, and how we can help or hinder that connection in some very unexpected and simple ways.

Tips for a Healthy Garden & Soil – and a Healthier You this Spring! Part 1
May 4, 2021
Howard Garrett, "The Dirt Doctor," is a leading expert in natural organic gardening and landscaping. He details the parallel between detoxifying and restoring health to the soil and that of improving our internal environments. Just as it is important to have beneficial microbes in the soil along with a supportive soil base high in nutritious organic material, our intestinal tract could be compared to a soil bed. If the intestinal tract is healthy, there is a matrix of beneficial bacteria that reside in that intestinal lining. In turn, they help break down fibers and produce beneficial compounds – called postbiotics – that promote better digestion, support the immune system, and even produce important vitamins that we need for a host of body functions. And just like the deterioration of the microbes and soil web lead to poor growth and health of the plants in that soil, the overuse of antibiotics, highly processed foods, chemical preservatives, etc. wreaks havoc on our internal microbiome. As a result, poor health ensues. Click HERE for part 2.

Probiotic and Immune Health News, Part 1
February 17, 2021
Microbiome Scientist Dr. Ross Pelton has the latest science on the beneficial bacteria in your intestinal tract, which we collectively call PROBIOTICS. Probiotics are a potent powerhouse when it comes to supporting your health. Your probiotic bacteria play key roles in breaking down food and delivering nutrients to your body. They also assist in detoxification, heart and brain health, and are critical regulators of your immune system. Click HERE for part 2.
