BioMeridian Testing

I'm sure you've heard of acupuncture and perhaps you have done it before. But do you know what those tiny little needles prick with energy? Acupuncturists describe these areas on the body as meridians. In acupuncture, these meridians are related to each primary organ in the body. When energy flows through these meridians, the body is considered to be in balance and healthy. However, blockages in the meridians can cause symptomatic problems. It is the abnormalities or imperfections in this energy that BioMeridian Testing looks for.

BioMeridian testing gets to the source of your underlying health issues. Once you know the root causes of your health issues you have a path forward. New technology called the BioMeridian unit has the capacity to non-invasively assess the energy meridians (channels) of the body and determines functionality of organs and tissues of your body accurately.

Discover what is causing your symptoms and come away with a plan for navigating the process to being healthy again. The journey to healing all starts with an awareness of what is going on. A 90 minute appointment will produce a chart of information that highlights body functions that are out of balance in prioritized order. Essentially a road map of where to begin.

Microplastics Detected in Human Feces

A recent study conducted by the Environment Agency Austria estimates that more than half of the world population may harbor microplastics in their stools. Now, that is some seriously concerning information. Why are microplastics bad? Researchers say that once microplastics get into the human body and begin circulating, they can endanger health. Specifically, microplastics may negatively impact the human immune system, digestive system and more.

And microplastics aren't just affecting human health; they are also impacting the environment in major negative ways. By the year 2050, the World Economic Forum estimates that the world's oceans will contain more plastic than fish. The presence of microplastics in the ocean is not just a concern for the environment, because we now know that we're consuming fish that contain microplastics! Plus, microplastic is effecting non-marine environments majorly as well.

The Ugly Truth about Vitamin C Serums

Studies show that Vitamin C can take years off your skin. Yet the vast majority of Vitamin C serums simply don't deliver the results they claim.

Vitamin C is one of the best nutrients for your skin. It helps naturally smooth roughness, fade away fine lines, and lighten dark spots. It repairs signs of sun damage and powers-up your skin's own healing response. It also boosts production of collagen and elastin, proteins that help skin stay firm and youthful. Yet despite all these wonderful benefits, many women don't notice much of a difference when they use a Vitamin C serum.

Why aren't these women getting good results? Because many of the products on the market aren't all they're cracked up to be. Before you choose a vitamin C serum, make sure it passes these 4 tests...
