Shocking, huh? I was overweight, dealt with persistent acne on and off for years, developed Rosacea.. Brace yourself. Here's a picture of me today at almost 5.
The Super Sexy Skin Program. I'm sure you noticed that my skin isn't the only thinglooking better, right? So how did I get here? What's the REAL age- defying secret? Here's my story in a nutshell..
I've always been on the quest to discover how to have flawless skin - having endless problems as a teenager AND adult. I knew the anguish women feel when their complexion doesn't reflect their natural radiance and beauty. So I wanted to help (starting with myself.) It seemed like a worthwhile adventure. I Became Revlon's Top Sales Person In About Two Months It was exhilarating to make such a big impact.. I was quickly approached by Clinique to join their White Lighting Team... It's real, in- the- trenches cold selling at its finest.
I guess you can say I took the elevator to success - skyrocketing to become Clinique's #1 promotional consultant in Australia. I did that for about 3 years.
I realized something during that time.. I had a real passion for this beauty stuff. Knowing that, I wanted to train other reps to do what I did. And boy, was I ever gifted at showing women how to connect with customers and move more product. Maybe a little too gifted.
Recognized for my talent.. I was offered a job by the 3rd biggest cosmetic company on the planet, Shiseido. I had the privilege of working with this company (that invested so much time and money in me) for about eight years. This company was (and still is) the very best in the world at giving people, like myself, all of the tools to teach customers about aging, why we develop fine lines and wrinkles, acne education and treatment.. It's like I was given a backstage pass to witness the leading theories about aging.. I have learned so many things, not only about looking after my skin, but my health as well.
Though my skin still shows signs of wrinkles, and age, (which is due to many years of neglect) my skin itself over the last 2. Thank you for sharing this. And I have lost 3kg. I noticed this by the way my clothes fit. Actually, I am going to have to buy some new ones, as some are just too big !! Belinda you are absolutely inspirational, and a very lovely and special lady who has shared something that I know many women of all ages will appreciate, and obtain so much personally and physically out of it.
I am continuing with this program, as I know that the results are only going to get better. Have you noticed that? Have you acknowledged how NAKED you feel without product? I have. The cosmetic and beauty industries (known from this point forward as Big Beauty) have successfully made women believe that true beauty is only skin deep. Of course.. Being addicted to makeup or supposed wrinkle- eliminating creams are a totally avoidable pain - when you know the guarded secret that's been kept from you. Because the truth is..
Lisa Casagranda. 42 years, Wellington, New Zealand . It looked softer, my eyes had more of a sparkle, and I felt that I looked healthier. Also my stomach was no longer bloated . Of course good skin comes from the inside out. But I must admit that to begin with, a part of me was sceptical. Was I really going to see that much of a difference within 4 weeks? At that point my skin was already emanating a natural glow.
It looked softer, my eyes had more of a sparkle, and I felt that I looked healthier. The other thing I noticed was that my stomach was no longer bloated .

And one of the key toxins affecting your skin in ways that no cream will ever fix are free radicals. These criminals are swimming around your bloodstream - stealing your youth, beauty, vitality and radiance.. Making your skin age like a rocket ship shot into space. But they just work that much harder to keep your attention on the symptoms of aging - instead of the cause. Brilliant, I know. It gets worse though..
All of those creams, balms, tonics, serums and lotions marketed by all of the top beauty brands are typically made with chemicals. What kind of chemicals? Well, let's see: Parabens (Known endocrine disrupters. Meaning, they can screw up your hormones.)BHA and BHT (Believed to negatively affect the hormones and potentially cause cancer.)Coal tar dyes (i. Blue 1. This stuff is thought to be heavy metal rich, which can be like poison to the brain.)Parfum a.
Some of those are toxic scents that can cause stuff like asthma, fatigue, muscle pain, sinus pain, sore throat and tons more. Yup, these disgusting chemicals are often in supposedly . But it also is known to create a toxic environment in your reproductive system.. Are you kidding?!?!)That's not even the half of it.
I'd be here all day if I told you about every toxic chemical that's in your beauty products. The point is.. These chemicals infiltrate the blood.. Instead of seeing the daily version of myself in a bathroom with flattering lighting, I got to see the real deal.
I was doubtful there would be any big changes without bringing in the . But I have experienced no less than a miracle. I noticed a healthier glow right away; my skin had a shiny and youthful appearance that I hadn.
I started to recapture the attention from men and even women. The biggest change in my skin is the texture and color and luminosity. My sunspots are fading and those are not easy to get rid of.
Now I get by on way less make- up. I wear a little foundation on my T- zone, but my cheeks have a natural rosy color that I don. People tell me my skin is fabulous and even with my family stress going on, I am still getting incredible results. Women have asked me about my skin and how I keep it so nice!
You have certainly delivered on your promise from this program!!! I just wanted you to know that. It can be no other way. What's truly brilliant is.. Your body is producing new cells all the time. Your skin actually renews itself every 2. Again, it can be no other way.
Imagine being able to look in the mirror just 2. A powerful thought, isn't it?
Don't get me wrong.. You're absolutely beautiful right now. But your true, natural beauty is being hidden by toxicity. Look at it like this.. When the clouds cover up the sun.. So when toxins cover up your natural beauty.. YES! It's Just A Matter Of Getting Rid Of The Cloud Cover(i.
Toxins) & Letting Your Natural Beauty Shine Through. The Super Sexy Skin Program helps you accomplish just that. I'll spell it out.. The beauty of your skin is 1. Getting rid of toxicity (and NOT inundating your body with more of it) is the key to pressing the rewind button on your body's age... You Don't Need Cosmetics.
To Make You Beautiful.. NO! Any beliefs you might have that say otherwise are just the result of really good advertising by Big Beauty. I hope you can see that now. But let's forget about Big Beauty. As of RIGHT NOW..
Their role in the story of you is over. This is your life. This is your body. But I have to be honest: I've struggled with hormonal acne for so long, that a part of me couldn't believe it would ever improve.
I've tried just about everything over the years, including cutting dairy, chocolate, coffee. Different cleansing regimens, retinol- products, even adding vitamin A, D and b. All without the results I was so desperately looking for.
Two weeks into the Super Sexy Skin program I started seeing changes and now: my whiteheads have disappeared! And I have dramatically less cystic acne (red inflamed pimples under my skin). You have to understand, I'm a mom, no morning person whatsoever, so doing the Shiatsu Facial Massage for over a month is nothing short of a small miracle. I watch it on my Iphone in the bathroom, after I clean my face. The different stroking- techniques combined with the use of pressure points is amazing.
Day Reset Autoimmune Diet Plan. For many years I suspected that I had some form of thyroid problem based on my own research and symptoms like dry skin, occasional fatigue, trouble losing weight after having a baby, and hair thinning, but I was never able to get answers from conventional tests which showed that my T3 and T4 thyroid hormones were in the normal range. Thankfully, I found an amazing doctor who specializes in hormones and endocrine problems and with additional blood testing and a thyroid ultrasound, he was able to finally figure out what I was struggling with: Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (an autoimmune condition where the body creates antibodies to the thyroid). What are Autoimmune Problems? It turns out that many different disorders and diseases are autoimmune in nature but they manifest in different ways. As the Paleo Mom explains: Autoimmune disease is caused by the immune system losing the ability to differentiate proteins belonging to your own body with proteins belonging to a foreign invader (like a bacteria, virus or parasite).
What causes symptoms is the build up of damage to cells, tissues and/or organs in the body. Which proteins/cells are attacked is what separates once disease from another.
In Rheumatoid Arthritis, the tissues of your joints are attacked. In psoriasis, proteins within the layers of cells that make up your skin are attacked.
However, the root cause is the same. Genetic predisposition to autoimmunity makes up about one third of your risk of developing an autoimmune disease. The other two thirds of your risk come from environmental factors, which include: diet, lifestyle, infections (both prior and persistent) exposure to toxins, hormones, weight, etc. While you cannot control your genetics or whether or not you had mono as a kid, you do have an immense amount of control over your diet and lifestyle (and the extent that these affect hormones and weight and even toxin exposure). By removing the foods that contribute to a leaky gut, gut dysbiosis (the wrong numbers, relative quantities, or types of microorganisms typically growing in the wrong locations in your gut), hormone imbalance, and that stimulate inflammation and the immune system, you can create the opportunity for your body to heal. By addressing important lifestyle factors and changing your focus to eating nutrient- dense foods that support optimal gut health (and optimal health of your gut microorganisms), that restore levels of important nutrients and provide all of the building blocks that your body needs to heal and properly regulate the immune system, that help resolve inflammation and support organ function, you create an environment in your body conducive to healing. Why Other Diets May Not Work.
From my understanding, once the body has an autoimmune reaction, it can sometimes be necessary to remove a wide variety of potentially inflammatory foods for a short time and then reintroduce to test the response. The idea is similar to the theory behind the GAPS protocol but geared toward addressing autoimmune issues instead. Since the body is in a state of heightened immune response, removing these foods can help it get back into a state of balance and reduce the autoimmune reaction. Technically, an autoimmune disease cannot be “cured”, but in many cases, it is possible to put the condition into remission with careful diet and lifestyle changes. My Experience. I switched to an autoimmune protocol diet after being diagnosed with Hashimotos in hopes of giving my immune system a little time to recover. I was hopeful that it would be beneficial, but I was AMAZED at how quickly it helped. Within the first week, I saw my bloating go away, my thyroid nodule felt noticeably smaller, I had more energy (after the first couple of days), and my skin improved.
Over the course of the almost two months I did the strict protocol, I lost some of my stubborn weight and felt incredibly better. It also helped me identify foods that I was not responding well to, but that I didn’t realize were problematic (like eggs, which was confirmed by blood test later).
I was able to reintroduce many of the foods after that time without a problem and I felt continually better (until I created a flare by not sleeping and stressing about finishing my book). Sleep and stress are both huge factors in overall health and are especially important for those with any kind of health condition. The Specifics of the Autoimmune Diet. The general idea of the autoimmune diet is that you are removing any potentially inflammatory foods, but the specifics are a bit more difficult. Some sources consider foods like fruit and sweet potatoes ok, while others do not. For reference, some sources that I find most helpful are: This particular post from the Paleo Mom is really helpful in understanding what foods are considered safe and which ones to temporarily avoid. I’ll also be posting more autoimmune friendly recipes and meal plans soon, but those are great resources for getting started.
You can download the complete food list I used by clicking here (PDF). It can seem overwhelming, but this way of eating is actually relatively simple if you follow a template. My typical day on the autoimmune diet was: Breakfast– A scramble of meat and cooked vegetables, a cup of homemade bone broth, some fermented vegetables, and supplements. Lunch– A huge salad with leftover protein (meat, offal or fish) and a small piece of fruit, a cup of bone broth, fermented water kefir or kombucha and olives. Dinner– A stir fry with some type of protein (meat, offal, seafood) with a lot of vegetables and allowed spices, evening supplements and at least 1 cup of healthy starch like cooked winter squash, pumpkin, etc. I also made a lot of stuffed squashes and soups. We rely heavily on big salads, stir frys and casseroles while on the autoimmune diet.
When I first started, it seemed like I couldn’t eat anything and I was depriving myself of everything, but it is important to remember that many times the body is deficient in certain nutrients because of an autoimmune disease so during the course of the 3. I focused on extensively nourishing my body with as many high quality proteins, vegetables and healthy fats as I could consume. I may have been tired of my food choices at times, but I certainly never went hungry. I also focused on consuming a TON of vegetables during this time, after talking to Dr. Terry Wahls and reading her book, The Wahls Protocol. Wahls emphasizes the importance of consuming at least 9 cups of vegetables a day, especially brightly colored vegetables, leafy greens, and onions and garlic.
Personally, I found that these factors were equally important to recovery for me: Sleep. I love to stay up late and skimp on sleep so I can get more done. My body does not love this. I’ve found that when I sleep at least 8- 8. I see my health markers improve (blood tests, fasting blood glucose, etc).
Stress reduction. Also a tough one for me, but stress can have as much of an impact as diet on gut health and hormone levels. I found that even with a good diet, I started to notice symptoms creeping back in while under the stress of finishing my book.
Supplements. I hesitated to include this part because if diet, stress and sleep aren’t under control, this won’t help at all, but I found certain supplements helped tremendously once I had optimized other factors. I personally take: WP- Throid thyroid medication (under the care of my doctor), Betaine HCL with protein meals, 5- MTHF and Methyl- B1. Folate, Probiotics, Fermented Cod Liver Oil, Cortisol support, Omega- 3s, Vitamin D (and sunshine daily in the morning), Magnesium, L- glutamine, Gelatin, and Vitamin C. I would highly recommend seeing a good functional medicine doctor and finding out what you personally need before taking any supplements. Autoimmune Diet Encouragement.
This diet is difficult. Sometimes the best things in life require some work and denial of self. An elimination diet is temporary and it gives you a window into your own body and what you need to eat for optimal health. Don’t let is cause you extra stress.
Don’t let this keep you up at night. Try to focus on nourishing and loving your body and providing it with the building blocks it needs to function optimally. If you can, encourage a friend or family member to make the journey with you for support. Let me know below what your struggle is and the results you see!

I created these lists primarily for those of you out there who are athletes or who are looking to put on some weight with adding calories and carbs. That's not to say that carbs will make you “fat,” don't misunderstand. However, for many people, increased carbohydrate intake seems to increase their appetite as well as the physiological response of insulin, our storage hormone for nutrients. This doesn't generally support a strong weight- loss effort, however, for fueling athletic activities, as noted below, increased carbohydrate intake is often recommended, and I would like for people to have a resource so that they're not falling back on processed, refined foods and grain/legume products for their carb sources.
