Tips to Tapping into the Courage to Lead
The Curated Beauty Podcast
Leadership isn’t just about being in charge and making decisions. It’s about having the privilege to pave the way for a team, but it isn’t always easy to find the courage to take that on. When you’re a leader, you have to make tough calls and decisions that you are willing to stand firm on. Most people are not born leaders. Becoming a leader is truly something you step—or even evolve—into. It also places a responsibility on you to create core values in your business, and these values withstand whether you are in the business or not. If you’ve identified a problem in your...

The Missing Link: Why Doctors Struggle with Thyroid Hormone Replacement and How it Impacts your Health
The Curated Beauty Podcast
Doctors across America see patients for fatigue on a daily basis, but a root cause is very rarely investigated or found. Being tired is seen as acceptable and normal, but living with fatigue every day is no way to truly live. Because the underlying cause isn’t uncovered, patients lose steam when it comes to advocating for themselves. Thyroid insufficiency commonly occurs as we age (as hormone levels fluctuate and decline), and this could be a cause of fatigue. This is often overlooked, especially in women who are experiencing menopause. Hormone replacement therapy that considers thyroid...

My Journey to Building a Self-Managing Business
The Curated Beauty Podcast
I recently read a book called The Self-Managing Company by Dan Sullivan, and in this episode, I’m going to share the key aspects I took away from it. This book is for entrepreneurs who need to be hands-off in more aspects of their business, but it’s also great for people who want to work on delegating in their personal lives too. Freeing yourself from the nitty-gritty tasks in your business frees you up to look at the big picture and focus on growth. Every entrepreneur wants a self-managing company, but you can’t build one if there’s no one to do the work—which means you have to...

The Missing Piece: Why Women Need Testosterone
The Curated Beauty Podcast
Testosterone isn’t something we tend to think of when considering hormone replacement therapy for women—but the truth is that testosterone is important for females too. Without the right balance of testosterone, women will notice significant shifts in their libido and other aspects of their lives too. Testosterone is produced in the ovaries—a fact that helps us appreciate just how significant of a role it plays in women’s health. Women in the prime of their sexual wellness tend to have more optimal levels of testosterone. The adverse effects of testosterone that give some people pause...

info_outlineI have seen firsthand the transformative magic of IV drip therapy in the realms of beauty and wellness. IV drip therapy is like the Rolls Royce of nutrient delivery. It offers nearly 100% absorption rates, unlike oral supplements which sometimes have an absorption rate as low as 10%. It's a way to get immediate, efficient wellness.
Some nutrients truly shine when delivered via IV. Vitamin C, for example, is our immune system's best friend. It can cause digestive issues when taken orally in high doses, but when introduced via an IV, you get the high doses without the digestive risk. Similarly, glutathione, a powerful antioxidant, gets lost when taken orally but becomes a direct line of defense against oxidative stress when given via an IV.
B vitamins, which are critical for energy, can be challenging to absorb orally for some people. But with IV drip therapy, they can get the full benefits. Magnesium, nature's chill pill, can cause gut issues when taken orally in high doses. But with IV administration, these problems are solved.
There’s also immense value in NAD, a molecule that has been making waves for its connections to energy, anti-aging, immune system health, and gut health. Though it can be taken orally, the IV method is much more impactful.
And let's not forget about zinc, amino acids, fatty acids, and EDTA. Each plays a unique role and can be fully harnessed through IV therapy. But remember, despite the benefits of IV drip therapy, it may not be for everyone. Obviously, talk with a professional to see if it’s a good fit for you.
