This week Tee is excited to bring you a conversation she had with Amayra Morales about the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and the beauty of natural skin care. In her “past life”, Amayra was busy climbing the corporate ladder until she hit her lowest health point. After burning herself out Amayra ended up in the hospital desperately unaware of the cause of her ailments. After she was released Amayra went from specialist to specialist to try to find answers to the long list of symptoms she was experiencing following her burnout. With each specialist appointment, Amayra became increasingly disempowered, feeling shut out and not listened to.   Amayra started to question every aspect of her life and realized that her time in the corporate world was over. She packed her bags and bought a one-way ticket to India to fulfill her dream of becoming a yoga teacher. During her time in India, she became very sick and through a series of fortunate events, ended up at an Ayurvedic clinic. For Amayra, this was the beginning of the end because, through the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, she was able to connect the dots of her symptoms and find good health again. Now after a full recovery along with years of studying the principles of Ayurveda, Amayra understands that her Dharma (soul’s mission) is to help women holistically optimize their health so they can glow from the inside out. In this episode, she shares some of the wisdom and insights that she has discovered along her journey while sharing tips on how to both listen to and evaluate your body and skin for signs of larger health issues. Tee and Amayra explore how the root causes of so many illnesses lie in our toxic burden and explore ways to cleanse ourselves from that load.

This week Tee is excited to welcome author and investigative journalist, David Steinman for a conversation about his powerful new book Raising Healthy Kids: Protecting Your Children from Hidden Chemical Toxins Every Day. David is the director of the Chemical Toxin Working Group and one of America’s premier environmental activists. In his book, David shows how today’s most popular items–from bubble baths to cereal to cleaning products and snack foods are contaminated with unacceptable levels of chemical toxins and pesticides, and he proposes alternatives and substitutes to keep your family safe. David reveals never-before-seen test results for major brands like Johnson & Johnson, Kellogg’s, Tide, Clairol, and General Mills that identify exactly which products contain ingredients that are dangerous. He casts a wide net, showing how beauty products as well as food items can cause reproductive health issues in pregnant women, and that environmental exposures, particularly in schools, can have a profound impact on babies’ and children’s development.  In this conversation Steinman brings listeners up-to-date on the increased dangers we face in all aspects of our lives, and how we can make smart choices to protect our children and ourselves. Raising Healthy Children is an inspiring, informative, and user-friendly book that will help every family reduce their toxic exposures and ensure their health and well-being.

This week Tee is delighted to welcome Frank Davis! He has been in the health and wellness industry for over 30 years and is passionate about providing effective and uncompromising nutritional products. As a child, Frank had every conceivable childhood disease and struggled throughout childhood and adolescence with a compromised immune system. In his early 40s after dealing with hepatitis, mononucleosis, and pneumonia, Frank ended up with chronic fatigue syndrome which incapacitated him and naturally took him out of the activities he loved.  During the nine months he struggled with chronic fatigue, Frank became obsessed with finding a solution and researched all options –medical and nutritional. After attending a symposium composed of numerous PhDs from various Universities across the country, Frank learned quickly of the compromised quality of the United States’ food supply. He learned that our foods are grown in nutrient-deficient soils, treated with toxic herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides, and transported thousands of miles over weeks of time before arriving at our homes.  After these revelations, Frank set out to find a way to ensure that the foods he ingested had all of the original health benefits that God had designed them to have. In partnership with nutritional scientists, Frank developed Optivida, a premium nutritional supplement that contains 100% of the vitamins and nutrients that are so desperately absent in our food supply.  At 76 years old Frank is still in the prime of health. His doctor calls him a rare medical specimen, which Frank attributes to his belief that if you give your body the right nutrients, it can heal itself!

This week Tee was delighted to welcome Dr. Yug Varma, Ph.D. for an educational look at the causes of acne and how skin microbiome relates to his company's revolutionary new treatment. Dr. Varma has 10+ years of microbiome research experience including an extensive background in bio-organic chemistry, microbiology, and synthetic biology. Dr. Varma received his scientific training at several distinguished academic institutions, including Johns Hopkins University (Ph.D.) and the University of California, San Francisco. His scientific work has been published in many prestigious journals, including Nature. Dr. Varma’s mission is to change the ways we treat chronic bacterial diseases and he is working tirelessly to achieve this goal with a microbiome-based technology platform. He is the co-founder and CEO of Phyla, the world’s most advanced probiotic acne system. He and his team discovered a probiotic that actually lives on healthy skin and specifically kills the acne-causing bacteria to balance our microbiome. They built Phyla products on this revolutionary breakthrough in skin microbiome research using bio-phages.  Current approaches to acne have not changed much over the decades and are so terribly harsh for the skin. At the same time, other skincare companies take advantage of trending probiotics with dubious products that simply contain dead yogurt bacteria, which are of no use. Phyla products are designed and manufactured with rigorous European quality standards, built on a truly natural probiotic, isolated from healthy skin for healthy skin. They are safe, non-toxic, cruelty-free, vegan, and free of phthalates, parabens, and artificial fragrances.
