My Biggest Health Secrets Revealed
Every day I’m contacted with the same question. I mean I get the EXACT SAME DARN QUESTION that is just worded differently EVERY DAY!
It’s a bit personal but I’m going to share it with all of you. Whether on social media, through my website, or from strangers I meet in everyday life, the same question pops up.
THE QUESTION: How do you look younger every year?
Despite the small percentage of naysayers (aka the small group of haters that hide behind fake accounts and big computer screens) that claim it must be botox or surgery, the majority of people can see that my appearance stems from a very holistic place.
The truth is I can’t get botox or fillers. I’ve suffered from psoriasis on and off for years. Unfortunately, those types of chemicals would create a flare-up that would have me covered in psoriasis for months! It’s just not worth it! In all honesty, If I could I would and y’all know I would be filming those procedures for you!
The truth is I actually practice what I preach! I juice every day, spend a lot of time in nature with my dogs and have been vegan (mostly raw) for 21 years. When I share my age with people the first thing I get is “OMG, YOU ARE LYING”! Um, no, I’m actually not!
Today I’m going to share a few of my anti-aging secrets to help you begin to take your health to the next level. Tomorrow I’ve got an even sweeter surprise! I’m going to invite you in on an even BIGGER secret! Sound good? AWESOME!
For today let’s just call this Andrea’s Alkalizing Anti Aging Tips! Sound good?
My Top anti-ging Tips!
1) Just say no to the diet foe
Your first step in taking your health to the next level while upping your anti-aging game is to let go of any attachments you might have to diets. Your hormones, physiology, lifestyle, profession, and environment are all continually changing and evolving. What may have worked for you in the past is exactly that, your past! If your goal is to make progress with your health and unlock your body’s full anti-aging potential, it’s time to learn the easy way!
Stop with all these fad “diets” Start by eating whole nutrient-dense foods. Be more aware of portion control. You don’t need to jump right into this restricted “diet” to get the results you want. You just need to start SOMEWHERE. 95% of diets fail and most will regain their weight back… why? Because you’re choosing a way of eating that isn’t maintainable or long term. This is why I have my clients follow my light to a heavy concept! This is what I teach them during our coaching calls! My clients NEVER cut portions! They don’t do the low carb keto lie!
One thing I do have my clients do is to dump the white flour, white sugar, and the majority if not all of the animal products they consume! Bottom line, You are what you eat!
2) Dump the toxic make-up!
Ok ladies this is a MUST! Although I don’t want to list what I use and what I stay away from let’s just say this… I have an entire section on my website dedicated to the ONLY cosmetic line I will use! Heck, I even have my own skincare oil that was created just for me by an esthetician! You can find all of those paraben-free, cruelty-free products here!
3) Stop over-exercising to make up for the binge you had the night before!
Yes, you can pursue fitness and heal your relationship with food. But if you’re obsessing over calories burned, your weight, all the things you dislike about your body and you’re fueling your workouts with self-hatred, something that is good will become toxic quickly.
As a fitness model, I had to discipline myself to shift the dialogue in my head around working out. I stopped letting my Fitbit run the show. I stopped allowing the guilt to creep in over how much I ate the day before. I stopped hating my body! In fact, I love my body more today than when I was on the cover of magazines! I started repeating affirmations every day and you know what… that shit really works!
As far as exercise goes, gentle movements such as nature hikes, rebounding, and yoga are where it’s at for anti-aging exercise.
4) Stop believing (or even giving a shit) about what other people think! It causes wrinkles!
If I would have believed what other people said about me rather than what I know to be true about myself, I would have never had the opportunity to impact SO MANY women and men’s lives!
What an honor it’s been and continues to be to know I have worked with and impacted thousands of lives (including quite a few celebrities)! Heck, I think I may have impacted millions of lives if we include social media. Freeing myself from a deadly eating disorder and body struggles have allowed space for so much more freedom in other areas of my life, specifically the weight of other people’s opinions. Had I believed or given any energy into the negative that the 2% said about me, I wouldn’t be here sharing with all of you today!
In fact, let me take a moment and encourage all of you to take a moment to say THANK YOU to all of the naysayers! They are the reason you are leveling up today!
5) Get some sleep!
This is one of the most overlooked anti-aging tips in my opinion! It’s also the reason I bailed on three engagements! LOL! If it (or he) doesn’t bring you peace (and sleep), RUN! It is a scientific FACT that adequate rest and deep REM (rapid eye movement) sleep on a regular schedule is essential to feeling great and staying youthful. Sleep allows your body (and your skin) to regenerate, repair, and heal.
6) Get you some Red light therapy baby!
Red light beds (I have one in my home, they have salons everywhere) are said to help reduce cosmetic skin issues, like stretch marks and wrinkles. I began using a red-light bed to heal my psoriasis in a doctor’s office. I noticed immediately the effect it had on my skin! Although red-light therapy used in a medical office setting may be used to treat more serious conditions, like psoriasis, slow-healing wounds, and even the side effects of chemotherapy, it is an excellent anti-ager and really helps your body to develop a good sleep-wake cycle.
7) Hydrate like the fishy you are!
Look, you don’t have to be a Pisces to drink water like a fish! Hydration is key in anti-aging! I eat a plethora of raw water-filled fruits and vegetables to stay hydrated! I also harvest my own spring water and add a few secret ingredients that I’ll be sharing in an upcoming video! So if you aren’t already subscribed, you may do so here!
Be present, be mindful … be the change you wish to see in others.
I love you
I only want the best for you
Please love yourself and stay humble
Until tomorrow drink your juice
