Can I Slow Down The Aging Process?

Yes, you can.

Telomeres are the protective caps, located at the ends of chromosomes. They play a critical role when it comes to healthy aging.

But what can we do to extend those telomeres?

  • One study found that daily vitamin D supplemen-tation helps to minimize the shortening of telomeres, which happens as people get older, and thus may protect against diseases tied to age and biological aging.
  • The data suggested that vitamin D’s effects on a cellular level would be equal to a three-year decrease in aging.

Always request your Vitamin D labs so you can keep an eye on this important marker.
Your goal?
Always over 50 and ideally over 60 and beyond!

OSTEOARTHRITIS vs RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS 

Ever wondered how osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis differ? Both can cause joint pain and stiffness, but they have distinct causes and treatment approaches. Understanding these differences is key to managing symptoms effectively BUT knowing the proper nutrition path can help one live a life free of pain and discomfort.
When one is first diagnosed with a disease, it’s easy/normal to feel weak, to feel like a victim, to question “why me”. But when I discovered the huge role that nutrition plays when it comes to fighting and overcoming disease, I felt inspired. This knowledge, this truth of proper nutrition can allow you to truly take charge of your health once and for all.

If you have a medical diagnosis that requires treatment, please know your doctor most likely will NOT give you a protocol of proper nutrition to go alongside it. WHY? Because ….. 

  • They were never educated on nutrition
  • They treat you the way the insurance industry tells them to treat you 
  • The insurance company does not want nutrition to be part of their protocol because they don’t make any money on that!

I can’t give medical advice but I certainly can help build a plan of attack to boost your immune system and address symptoms.
If you need assistance, please ask! I’m only a zoom away and you’d be shocked at how much you can learn that will positively impact your future health!

Does Diet Impact Hair Loss?

Absolutely.

Certain dietary habits can worsen hair loss:

  • Sugar
  • Alcohol 
  • Zinc and Biotin (B7) Deficiencies
  • Insufficient Protein (This is common among women)

Also having Covid or the Flu can cause temporary hair loss. But there are foods and nutrients you can consume to hair promote hair growth.

  • Quercetin: promotes blood flow in the scalp
  • Vitamin D: 5 studies found higher levels protective against hair loss. 2000 IU’s/daily minimum
  • Iron: supplementation improved growth in women; absorption is best when paired with vitamin C; dietary sources include spinach, lentils, and almonds. 
  • Cruciferous vegetables: (e.g. broccoli, cauliflower, kale, sprouts, etc) have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytochemicals, especially sulforaphane. 
  • Soy: Especially edamame and tofu

Remember, women lose 50 – 100 strands of hair per day which is part of the natural growth cycle.

A change in Mindset

I used to think the products I grabbed off store shelves were safe—because why wouldn’t they be?
But once I started digging into the ingredients, I realized I was bringing harmful chemicals into my home without even knowing it.
The good news? Switching to safer, better-quality products was as simple as changing where I shop.

Then: I used to grab whatever dishwasher detergent was at the store—until I learned many contain chemicals that stick to our dishes.
Now: I use an enzyme-powered formula that cleans without the harsh residues.

Then: I used to think All-Purpose cleaners were all the same—until I saw how many contained hormone disruptors and asthma-triggering chemicals..
Now: I use a botanically-powered disinfectant that’s safe enough for food surfaces.

Then: I used to buy big-name magnesium supplements—until I learned most don’t absorb well.
Now: I use a bioavailable formula with patented technology that actually benefits my body.

Then: I used to grab drugstore mouthwash—until I realized it was full of alcohol, fluoride, and artificial dyes.
Now: I use a cleaner alternative with essential oils that does the job without the junk.

Then: I used to overpay for essential oils..
Now: I get a powerful, high-quality blend for nearly half the price

I could keep going, but you get the idea. Every time I swap, I save money, get a better product, and feel good knowing I’m using safer options.

This 40-year-old, debt-free, privately owned store has completely changed the way I shop. Fast shipping, better ingredients, and no middlemen driving up prices. All this for ONLY $19 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒀𝑬𝑨𝑹!—which includes 30-50% off the everyday essentials you’re already buying, $100 𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒚𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒚 𝒅𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒔 to start, unbeatable customer service, and a 𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒍 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚-𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒈𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒆 on everything!
No risk, just peace of mind. I’ll never go back.

What does it mean when you hear someone say “I suffer from autoimmune”?

It’s such a broad statement. For instance…..

  • In rheumatoid arthritis, the immune system targets the joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness.
  • In lupus, it can damage many parts of the body, including joints, skin, and kidneys.
  • In type 1 diabetes, it destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
  • In multiple sclerosis, it attacks the protective sheath around nerve cells, causing issues with communication between the brain and body. 

But they can share the same symptoms: Fatigue, fever, muscle aches, joint pain, skin problems, and digestive issues.

Most autoimmune are chronic, meaning it is ongoing with no cure. Those that suffer are told by the medical community that it’s their cross to bear as they manage their symptoms with medicationBut here’s what I have experienced and witnessed dozens of times over:

Nutrition plays a HUGE part in not only managing the symptoms but also addressing root cause. Traditional medicine will tell you that autoimmune diseases are caused by genetic and environmental conditions, and I would agree that they can play a role. But I also believe that since the medical profession is not trained in nutrition, that is why they throw their arms up in the air and prescribe medication.

I’m not anti-medication, but understand that medicine is a risk/reward situation. They ALL come with warnings and/or side effects. Nutrition does not and that’s always my first line of offense AND defense.

Do you suffer from an autoimmune and want to take better control of your health?
Let’s talk.
Solutions could be lying right under your nose.

One Particular Supplement Could Potentially Lower Your Risk of Skin Cancer!

A study recently published in JAMA Dermatology has found that nicotinamide, a derivative of Vitamin B3, is linked to a reduction in non-melanoma skin cancers in people who have already had skin cancer.

This was a significant study, 34,000 veterans, who had previously been diagnosed with skin cancer. Researchers found those who took 500 mg of nicotinamide twice a day for at least a month after being diagnosed with their first skin cancer had a 54% reduced risk of developing another skin cancer compared to those who didn’t take the supplement. It was also associated with a 14% overall reduction in the risk of getting future skin cancers.

Nicotinamide (B3) has anti-inflammatory properties and can help skin cells repair themselves after UV damage. 

Takeaways:

  • 500 mg is a very high dose so it will be sold as a stand alone supplement.
  • Taking a B complex supplement is essential for your overall health. So most won’t need to take such a high dose, but most DO need a B complex.
  • Check your label to make sure it has “Niacin” or B3.
  • Also be sure the B vitamins are “Methylated”. It will state this on the label. If not, don’t buy it. 50% of the population has the MTHFR gene, so chances are you don’t know if you have it or not. Play it safe and buy methylated B vitamins.

A passion for helping others

Helping people help themselves has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, when I stumbled onto this company via friends, while looking for safe household cleaning products it was a no brainer. Now, almost 21 years later, I’m still using healthy products, made in the USA, from a company I trust for my family while helping others to do the same. Win, win!

This is kinda a big deal so I’m sharing again….because it needs to be heard. 

Maybe you’ve seen my posts over the last 14 years and quietly thought to yourself , “awww how cute…she’s trying a work from home project”…. Or honestly, maybe you inadvertently (and incorrectly ) threw us in the MLM bucket which rarely holds much merit…

It’s fine. I think a lot of people do that (they don’t know any better, But everything is different here and it’s time we start getting loud about that! 

When you know better… you DO better. 

So here we go:
USA Today has named The Wellness Company one of America’s Most Trusted Brands

T R U S T E D 

This part really matters. We live in a world where (unfortunately) trust feels all but lost. People are divided. They don’t trust much. It’s so disheartening. Trust is something that carries so much more more weight than it ever used to. Would you agree? 

America’s Most Trusted Brands 2025 study was one of the largest and most comprehensive consumer trust studies ever conducted in the United States. It was completed at a time when overall trust in institutions is at historic lows—yet trust remains one of the most valuable assets a company can earn.

The rankings were determined by USA Today and their research partner, Plant-A Insights Group, which surveyed more than 24,000 US consumers and analyzed 359,000 brand reviews.

The study measured “trust” based on five key factors:
  • Emotional connection
  • Trust and transparency
  • Likelihood to purchase
  • Alignment with personal values
  • Reliability

And “little ol us”….. we just be out here competing with the Johnson & Johnson’s and Proctor and Gamble’s of the world and are being recognized as one of the best of the best. 

The survey named only one-tent of one percent of ALL American companies as the nation’s most trusted companies. 
And here we are, just doing our thing…like we have for 40 years. 

If you need a store that you can fully trust…. I GOT YOU. No fluff. No hype.  It’s the real actual deal.
