I have survived the toughest fight of my life, and here are a few things used on my journey to bring about healing and awareness to others. As a breast cancer survivor, this list will empower and help others get through their cancer and healing journeys and maintain remission while helping get back to YOU” a new and improved version.
I was diagnosed (via a scalp biopsy) with Androgenetic Alopecia that was triggered by an episode of Telogen Effluvium. I've been dealing with hair loss for about 2 years now, but I have finally started to see serious regrowth in the last few months. I have cats, so I cannot take minoxidil (and I didn't want to have to take such a heavy pharmaceutical for the rest of my life to maintain my hair growth). I did start taking a low dose of spironolactone as prescribed by my derm as well as using all of these products consistently. In addition to the scalp and hair treatments, I also massively increased my protein and omega-3 intake. If you are also on a hair loss journey, I wish you all the best and I hope something here helps you as much as it has me. Losing hair can be emotionally devastating it was intensely traumatizing for me. Take good care of yourself and know that it is possible to see results with consistency <3

As someone with narcolepsy, I sleep a LOT, but that sleep isn’t always restful. Here are some of my suggestions for making the most of your nightly ZZZs.
What you eat is VITAL to how you feel—in fact, your overall health is impacted 80% by food! I know it seems daunting, but every good choice adds up, just as every bad choice culminates ultimately as obesity, brain fog, headaches, gut issues, achy joints, diabetes, and heart disease. Do yourself a favor and start now; take control of your food, before the toxins, pathogens, parasites, and deficiencies take control of you! I’ve made this list (and will continuously add to it) so that it’s easy to make the right decision every single day! It’s not about deprivation, it’s about nourishing your body, mind/brain, heart/soul every single day!

We had our first eczema baby 2 years ago and let me tell me the $ we spent trying to find what works, is insane. Under age 2, doctors cannot prescribe anything that's not a steriod.

It's Frustrating. I put together a few things that lasted us more than 1 purchase to see if it helps anyone.
