Here’s an older press piece from Refinery 29 but I always love reading this:

Reading: Within: A Spiritual Awakening to Love and Weight Loss by Dr. Habib Sadeghi and forward by Gwyneth Paltrow.

January 21, 2014

Within

 

While consumers are bombarded with weight loss plans that focus on diet and exercise, most will quit before they see any results.  Dr. Sadeghi explains there is simple reason many dieters fail in their attempts lose weight, and reveals the missing ingredient in the weight loss recipe is self-love. I am loving this book!!! I am learning about epigenetics and how during his recovery from cancer decades ago, Dr. Sadeghi realized self-love can be a tangible, evolutionary force that will create changes in your life that can only be described as miraculous. Right up my alley.

 

The book and Dr. Sadeghi’s practice have received rave reviews, including:

 

“Habib Sadeghi is an insightful, kind man who approaches healing in a fresh and uncomplicated way.”—Tim Robbins, actor, director, producer”Dr. Sadhegi has shown me how my outside often reflects my inside; how our minds and bodies mirror each other.  He has helped me a great deal, and I hope that through this book more people can enjoy the benefit of his compassion.”—Chris Martin, singer/songwriter, Coldplay

“I don’t think I’ve come across anyone who understands more about the mind/body connection when it comes to changing our health or our lives, than Dr. Sadeghi.  In fact, he’s living proof of it.”—Emily Blunt, actor

Dr. Habib Sadeghi D.O is the founder of Be Hive of Healing, an integrative health center based in Los Angeles.  He is a highly-respected physician and researcher in the fields of integrative, osteopathic, anthroposophical, environmental, family medicine, German new medicine, homeopathy and clinical pharmacology. 

Additional information on Dr. Sadeghi is available on his website: http://behiveofhealing.com.

All proceeds from Within will be donated to Roots of Empathy, University of Santa Monica and Healing Institute of Beings.

 

Phytomer’s ACNIPUR Blemish Solution Fluid has been one of my personal favorite Phytomer products I’ve tried so far!

January 17, 2014

Phytomer’s ACNIPUR Blemish Solution Fluid has been one of my personal favorite Phytomer products I’ve tried so far.

It’s created with marine biotechnology and forms an invisible natural biofilm on the skin that soaks up sebum like a micro-sponge and inhibits the inflammatory process.

Skin is matified, blemishes and redness are reduced. It can be used as a spot treatment/serum OR all over the face/neck as a matifying moisturizer – depending on your skin type. 

 

Phytomer

MODE OF ACTION* 

1- ACTION AGAINST THE EXCESSIVE PRODUCTION  OF SEBUM

Inhibits the activity of the enzyme  responsible for the secretion of sebum.

2- ACTION AGAINST BACTERIAL PROLIFERATION

Limits the spread of bacteria on the skin surface  and inside of comedones. 

3- ACTION AGAINST THE APPEARANCE OF COMEDONES

Helps reduce the formation of fatty acids known to be comedogenic and thus limits the skin irritation reactions.

4- ACTION AGAINST INFLAMMATORY REACTIONS Reduces the activity of an enzyme  involved in inflammation and degradation of the skin barrier.

Beat the dry LA heat with one of these awesome Honeywell Humidifiers!

Winter’s cold, dry air is about to wreak havoc on your skin. Especially in LA.  My kids wake up complaining they can’t breathe.  I put the heat on because it’s freezing which only makes it drier. During the winter, humidity levels can drop as low as 10%. That’s drier than the Sahara Desert.

I am way into humidifiers and I usually purchase a new one every couple of years to try something different. I’ve been looking into these from Honeywell, my go-to brand.

So, rather than piling on the moisturizer, adding moisture to the air helps relieve cracked, scaly alligator skin. In fact, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends running a humidifier to prevent chapped lips.  My kids also love love love one in their room.

Photo Revelation and a few other Sciton lasers with Launa Stone RN at Calabasas Med Spa

January 4, 2014

Sciton, a leading manufacturer of high-quality medical laser and light systems has three new breakthrough technologies, reversing the aging process, erasing skin abnormalities and forever ridding the body of unwanted hair that are ever present concerns in today’s society.

And YAY, there are all available at the fantastically impressive Calabasas Med Spa.(http://calabasasmedspacom/contact.php).  

  

  • Forever Young BBL TM- Described by Stanford University as a true “Fountain of Youth.” The treatment uses BroadBand Light™ flash lamp technology to not only improve the appearance of skin and pigmentation, but also to restore gene expression patterns of aged human skin to resemble young skin. The revolutionary non-invasive treatment results in patients appearing younger than their actual age – supported by DNA evidence!  A 10 year long Stanford study with Dr. Bitter, Jr., shows that in an 11 year time frame, people actually appeared to negatively age by one year with regular quarterly light treatments.

 

  • The Forever Bare BBL TM treatment is the latest innovation in fast, effective laser hair removal, and is just being announced to the public this month. The procedure uses BroadBand Light™ technology and treats with continuous movement and multiple lower fluency pulses at a high repetition rate. This advanced method greatly minimizes the likelihood of missed areas that occur with other traditional hair removal devices, with far less discomfort. 

 

  • The brand new CelluSmooth procedure is a minimally invasive, fast and safe treatment. Introduced this last March and just now available at select medical practices, the protocol was developed in conjunction with a panel of remarkable plastic surgeons and cosmetic physicians. CelluSmooth is the answer to ridding the body of unwanted lumps, bumps and dimples to achieve a smoother appearance in troublesome areas such as the thighs, stomach and buttocks.  In a single simple procedure, CelluSmooth treats the source of lumpy, dimpled skin with three safe and effective steps:  1). Severing the bands that pull on the skin creating the dimples and valleys, 2) Melting the excess pockets of fat that form bulging areas, and 3) smoothing and firming the skin with the laser.

 

Because I have darker skin I am currently doing a series of the Photo Revelations and I am LOVING IT.

Photo Revelation uses 1064 nm wavelength in a painting technique to heat the dermis to help build collagen, treats large pores and diffuses redness especially on darker skin types where BBL is less than ideal.

Launa Stone is incredible. She is the REAL DEAL.  

LAUNA STONE, RN

Launa Stone RN, has been skin icon to celebrities, business women, and housewives for over 20 years. She has appeared on several television programs and has been featured in numerous magazine articles.

Launa Stone has been a practicing registered nurse for almost 20 years. After working in Critical Care, Launa began her career in plastic surgical nursing and skin care in 1989. She has worked with some of the country's most prominent plastic and reconstructive surgeons. The need for the plastic surgery patients to "preserve their results" and expand their knowledge of skin care treatments and products in order to not only maintain, but improve their skin, was of vast interest to Launa.

In 1996, when Botox™ was introduced for cosmetic purposes, she began performing Collagen & Botox™ injections. Launa is now a well known Registered Nurse at the forefront of non-invasive medical and aesthetic technology and is also considered one of the pioneers in the field of Laser Hair Removal.

In 1997, while working at UCLA with various lasers for hair removal, she conducted side by side comparisons in consultation with researchers and manufacturers. She also participated in a study for the FDA which led to the approval of the Diode Laser, the newest technology for permanent hair removal.

Launa is involved in training other doctors and nurses in the use of the Diode Laser, sharing her techniques in this rapidly progressing field. She has performed over 50,000 treatments and is considered an expert in this field, and one of the most experienced in the United States. She has authored several articles and has been recognized in magazines, including L.A. Magazine, for her expertise in laser hair removal. Launa has relocated her practice to Calabasas and is still performing the most effective, least invasive and innovative treatments, usually resulting in no downtime.
