Botox for Night Grinders

Botox is usually thought of for cosmetic solutions such as wrinkle reduction of the forehead and crow’s feet, but the toxin actually has many amazing off label uses that have nothing to do with vanity (such as headaches, depression, excessive sweating, etc).

This month we are focusing on Night Grinding or bruxism. Botox can be used to control involuntary muscle tension and spasms when administered in the masseter muscles. Results can last up to four months with no effect on the ability to chew, swallow or talk. If you are interested in finding out more about how to treat bruxism, you may want to get in touch with a clinic similar to this Gresham dental practice or a dental practice local to you.

I recently tried this with Dr. Rivkin of Westside Aesthetics , as my grinding is not only out of control but has been majorly costly. Night guards, enamel re-coating – it’s a major financial dump. For less than $500 my jaw (mostly my left side) was treated and I look forward to waking up with less tension. The left side of my face is also notably more protruding because of the muscles are so tense so watching that subside and my face even out will be exciting.

I can’t wait to report back and to fill you in next month on the next “non-beauty” use for Botox you never knew about.

Macaccino

December 24, 2016

Move over matcha. Macaccino is the go to this winter! It’s a caffeine free superfood beverage that is made from the Peruvian maca root and so yum it’ll make you crazy.

 Here’s the deal. We are all looking for ways to get energy and when you are into your fifth cup of coffee by noon, you are headed into afternoon crashes and insomnia, (um guilty).

Macaccino being caffeine free is a healthy and sustainable alternative to this. Macaccino is filled with adaptogens that help the body deal with stress, boosts immunity amongst having other beneficial properties.

Macaccino can be brewed hot or made into a cold drink resembling everyone’s favorite Frappuccino or latte (yes, I also do these in the winter). 

I am guilty of adding this TO my coffee for that yummy maca flavor.

NUTRITION DATA AND BENEFIT BREAKDOWN FOR MACA ROOT

Maca is an amazing superfood that grows in the highest altitudes and in harsher climates with less water than almost any other plant in the world. It’s filled with nutrition and almost seems like it was designed only for human consumption–the benefits it brings are so vast that it’s almost hard to believe that maca root is very real and available to us for use in everything from cooking to energy drinks like our Macaccino.

WHAT’S THE MACA ROOT SECRET? DENSE NUTRITION.

Maca root is best known to deliver its many benefits through its dense makeup of alkaloids, amino acids, beta-ecdysone, calcium, carbohydrates, fatty acids, glucosinolates, iron, magnesium, p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate, phosphorus, potassium, protein, saponins, sitosterols, stigmasterol, tannins, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc.

Maca root is also known to contain the chemical p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate. It’s considered to be one of a collection of biologically active aromatic isothiocyanates and is where the aphrodisiac qualities of maca come from. This is not found anywhere but in maca, and is why each cup of our Macaccino organic energy drinks do more than most energy drinks could only dream of.

Another Shape House to sweat your CRAP out! In WeHo on Roberston

December 23, 2016

Another oasis of blood, sweat and tears in WeHo – ok no blood – maybe just sweat and tears of all the muck you are holding in the body. If you don’t sweat – then you NEED TO.
I am a true addict and Shape House has been my medicine. Everything about it – the vibe, people, serenity and of course the SWEAT. 
Read more below about the insane health benefits and stay tune for a GLA sweat party soon. YES, I said SWEAT PARTY!!

When the body’s core temperature is increased, cardiac output is boosted in response. The heart rate rises in order to circulate blood at a faster pace and facilitate sweat production, which helps train and strengthen the cardiac muscles. The metabolic rate is also increased, while diastolic blood pressure drops, leading to improved cardiovascular fitness. Meanwhile, the infrared heat stimulates endorphin release, which helps improve energy and healing, while the removal of lactic acid buildup soothes tense and sore muscles.

Infrared sweating is perfect for people who do not have the time or ability to exercise regularly, as it offers the opportunity to maintain and improve cardiovascular health with relative ease. For those who do even the most rigorous workouts, sweating still represents a perfect option, as it reinforces heart strength and endurance while relieving muscle strain.

When you sweat, you allow your body to flush out all the impurities that are embedded in the dermal layer- from pollutants and dirt to old makeup and chemical residue. You allow your skin to naturally glisten and glow by bringing a fresh blood supply and essential nutrients to the surface, and adding elasticity to collagen structure. Regular sweating can improve the tone, clarity, and texture of the skin, slow the aging process and reduce the effects of sun damage.

 

During an FAR infrared session, your pores open fully to allow sweating, which carries impurities and dead skin cells away and leaves your skin immaculately fresh. Your sweat also contains small amounts of antibiotics that combat dermal bacteria, which helps reinforce the cleansing process. Meanwhile, nutrient-rich blood is brought to the surface by increased circulation, which allows essential vitamins and minerals to help fill in the gaps between skin cells and plump up tiny wrinkles, while deterring future collagen breakdown. Increased blood circulation has also been shown to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, scars and stretch marks, lesions, and cellulite.

By continually flushing contaminants out of the dermal layer and bringing fresh nutrients and blood to the surface through sweating, you can naturally refresh and revitalize the appearance of your skin.

far infrared

FAR infrared is a radiant form of natural energy. FAR infrared cannot be seen, but can be felt as a nourishing heat that safely penetrates the skin to increase core-body temperature. This results in an intense, detoxifying, health-boosting sweat that helps you look and feel healthier, happier, and brighter.

detox

Our bodies need to detox in order to eliminate elements that are not good for us, so that our systems can function optimally. When you sweat using FAR infrared technology, you enhance your body’s ability to free itself from toxic chemicals, pathogens, and heavy metals by cleansing from the inside out.

When you sweat at Shape House, it’s all about you. Sweating is the perfect opportunity to relax,
recharge, and reboot your mind and body, while unplugging from the demands of daily life. Stress can wreak havoc on the physical and psychological systems, often resulting in further anxiety. By sweating, you can break the cycle, regain your balance, and find your way back to your bones.

FAR infrared heat penetrates the sub-dermal layer to warm muscles, which encourages them to relax and expand. The body often retains stress as muscle tension, which then creates further trouble in the form of unsettling soreness, pain, and headaches. By relieving muscle strain, and releasing built-up lactic acid, infrared also helps to ease the associated fatigue and stress. This sort of deep muscle and psychological relaxation has been proven to boost immunity, mood, and energy. Sweating also provides a burst of endorphins, which heighten the sense of wellbeing and clear-headedness that accompanies relaxation.

By dedicating an hour to a FAR infrared sweat, you can quiet inner noise, escape the chaos of modern life, and refuel…all while catching up on your favorite TV show.

Quality deep sleep is essential to physical and mental health. But in our 24/7 society, most of us struggle to get the rest we need on a consistent basis. In fact, roughly a third of Americans are chronically sleep-deprived, a condition that has been linked to obesity, diabetes, mood disorders, cardiovascular disease, and poor cognitive function.

Along with our culture of constant stimulation, we are often subject to routine stress and tension that make it difficult to relax, even in sleep. Toxic build-up can also impair the body’s ability to rest fully, as many of our cellular repair and internal cleansing processes take place during our sleeping hours.

The purifying sweat that results from a FAR infrared session helps to detoxify the mind and body alike by relaxing muscles, eliminating waste, stimulating repair processes, and calming the psyche. After a 55-minute session, sweaters immediately feel refreshed. More importantly, the next three nights following a sweat are full of quality deep sleep, as the body has largely been allowed to catch up on nighttime tasks during the treatment, and the mind has been given a chance to restore and relax. It is not uncommon that people who sweat regularly lessen or stop their intake of sleeping pills. Sweaters who have regular sessions report improvements in restlessness and insomnia, and find that they wake up feeling rejuvenated and ready to take on the world.
