NEXT-HEALTH LAUNCHES “PMS-LESS PACKAGE” TO HELP COMBAT THOSE PESKY SYMPTOMS

November 9, 2016

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

WHAT: Next Health just opened on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles and it’s set to become the leading destination for health, wellness and beauty in the hood!

What is it? Well, they offer a range of customized services featuring state-of-the-art, holistic medical treatments and beauty services curated by seasoned medical professionals. With a modern, minimalist and chic design, Next Health’s experience veers away from the traditional ‘cold’ feeling of a medical office and instead is cultivating a new environment for the future of health and wellness services.

next_health-164

As part of their launch, Next Health is offering a new PMS-Less package. The $299 package (Retail Value $400) includes a combination of cryotherapy, IV therapy, and supplements. Leading causes of PMS include:

  • Chemical changes in the brain
  • Low levels of vitamins
  • Mineral deficiency
  • Hormone and chemical imbalances

“PMS is caused by a hormonal change resulting in pain, low energy, water retention, headaches and occasionally mood disturbances,” says the PMSLess package creator, the renowned Dr. Darshan Shah, “The good news is that most of these symptoms can be alleviated with good nutrition and hormone optimization! Next Health offers a package designed to target the specific concerns of women during the most difficult time of their cycle.”

The Next Health PMS-Less Package includes treatments that have been specifically designed to combat the symptoms that come along with PMS. Two sessions of cryotherapy will create chemical and hormonal balance within the body and aid in maintaining one’s mood. Instant “Good Vibes” will be felt thanks to Norepinephrine and guest will have an improved ability to handle stress.

I was so excited to try the PMS-Less IV Therapy session – which utilizes specifically selected vitamins that encourage “feel good” neurotransmitters, reduce bloating, swelling, headaches and appetite fluctuations. The IV cocktail, which is administered while I was in a big comfy chair, for around 25 minutes, also features minerals that are not only considered “natures tranquilizers” and work as pain relievers but also help produce energy and enhance mood.  The amino acids included in this well rounded blend help to balance hormones and work well to level out blood sugar which reduces food cravings.

I was given one bottle of Next Health PMS-Less supplement to support a regular menstrual cycle as well as metabolism of progesterone, a hormone that is important to ovarian function and to reproductive health. The supplement helps relieve PMS-related water retention, cramping, breast tenderness and mood swings. One box of Happy Bars, a no- guilt, mood boosting chocolate snack, will also come with the PMSLess package.

“Up to this point, women have been offered several bandaid options for these complaints. All they really want is a way to alleviate the issue so they can feel like themselves again,” says Next Health’s Vice President of Operations, Wendi Michelle, “I am very excited about the PMS-Less package we are offering at Next Health. Finally, an option that is designed to correct internal imbalances and provide relief naturally and effectively.”

October 20, 2016

screen-shot-2016-10-20-at-9-05-09-pm

I walked into the chic boutique of ALO Yoga studio in Beverly Hills on Tuesday evening to attend the gorgeous launch of YUNI BEAUTY and was blown away. YUNI BEAUTY is a beauty line, inspired by the athleisure movement, offering “mindful beauty for an active life.”  I had the pleasure of getting a first hand tour of each product from Emmanuel Rey, the founder himself, with much in-depth description and yummy sampling!

My stand out favorites were the SHOWER SHEETS; perfect for a post yoga session or workout wipe down (when your yoga studio has no shower available!) that smell incredibly clean, packed with essential oils AND the WIND-DOWN WONDER, a delicious warming body oil spray I used last night straight out of the bath; the perfect thing to send me off into blissful sleep!
