Where Science Meets Self-Care #6 - Beau-toxic: The Hidden Costs of Beauty and Botox
Where Science Meets Self-Care
This conversation addresses Botox for cosmetic reasons. I recognize that the positive aspects of Botox outweigh the potential adverse side effects of its use in medical applications. Botox, the neurotoxin taken from the dangerous bacteria known as Clostridium botulinum, intentionally temporarily paralyzes nerves controlling the intended muscle. Botox alters SNARE proteins (such as SNAP-25), essential for neurotransmission, to fuse with the cell membrane. Acetylcholine is required to activate nicotinic

Where Science Meets Self-Care #3 - Clear Fluid Intentions: Lymphatic Health
Where Science Meets Self-Care
Most people have never heard of the lymphatic system—let alone understand its importance to overall health. Medical professionals don't mention the term until the discussion turns to health concerns. The lymphatic system is critical in immunity, detoxification, and emotional regulation. I will describe the lymphatic system for those who do not know its existence, how it functions, and what happens when it doesn't work correctly.

Where Science Meets Self-Care #2 - Let's Get Mellow with Melanin
Where Science Meets Self-Care
Hyperpigmentation, discoloration, and melasma affect people of all skin tones. Melanin is the pigment responsible for skin, hair, and eye colour. Our family history largely determines the type and amount of melanin in our bodies, but environmental factors spaced over time also cause our skin pigmentation to evolve; diet and certain medical conditions can also influence its production and play a significant role in determining melanin levels; ecological factors; lifestyle choices, diet, and hormonal

Most people turn to light therapy for cosmetic benefits—reducing wrinkles, boosting collagen, and achieving that youthful glow.
