BioSil™ is clinically proven to reduce wrinkles, increase skin elasticity, thicken and strengthen hair, and strengthen nails. BioSil™ is not “made out of collagen,” it “generates collagen” through your body’s own natural pathways. That means the collagen you add is collagen with your own DNA fingerprint. That’s why BioSil™ helps you look beautiful, youthful, and healthy – naturally! Starting at age 21, collagen diminishes by 1% per year. That’s when the vital collagen “mesh” begins to loosen. By age 30, the signs of reduced collagen on skin, hair and nails become visible. BioSil™ has been through the most rigorous testing procedure known, the double-blind, placebo controlled, university-conducted clinical trial. Here’s what they found: BioSil™ Clinical Trial Results:
• Thickens Hair
• Strengthens Hair
• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
• Improves Skin Elasticity
• Strengthens Nails
Now see what BioSil can do for you! Take it from Christie Brinkley: “I take BioSil™ every day, and I am amazed at the difference I see in my skin, hair and nails!”

Have You Had Your Probiotic Today?
Probiotics play a key role in the body by improving gastrointestinal functions, enhancing immunity, regulating hormones, protecting us from food-borne illnesses, controlling overgrowth of bad bacteria, and assisting in vitamin production & nutrient absorption. Here’s what to look for in your probiotic:
1. High culture count – Culture count refers to the total amount of live bacterial cultures in a single serving i.e. 50 Billion cfu (colony forming units)
2. Number of strains – There are over a thousand strains of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Look for multiple strains of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria.
3. Make sure the capsule is designed to protect probiotics – Enteric coated capsules remain intact throughout the harsh stomach environment and begin dissolving in the intestine where the pH is more alkaline.
All of these factors can be found in the Ultimate Flora line of probiotics by Renew Life.

Ins and Outs of ‘Gua Sha’
Gua sha is an Asian beauty technique used to clear the complexion. When we’re stressed, our body moves blood away from the skin to support the heart. If skin isn’t being nourished by blood, it doesn’t matter how good our diet is, radiance will be diminished and aging accelerated. What sets gua sha apart as a beauty treatment is its unique ability to get under the skin and pull toxicity out. Rather than applying a cream to the surface of your skin, you are activating your own body to do the work from the inside! Cheryl Fedeluk, CurrentExpressions.ca
You Need an Autumn Massage if…
• You’ve been active this summer. Help your body recover before temperatures drop and joint pain increases.
• You’ve traveled long hours. Resulting in neck and back strain.
• Summer sandals have been your style staple. Without proper support, this can result in back pain.
• You’ve been gardening. Squatting and bending over can put stress on your body.
• You suffer from seasonal depression.
• You’ve been getting poor sleep.
Too often, we look at massage as a frivolous expense and ignore the powerful benefits it can have on our bodies and minds.
Fall is the perfect time to take care of yourself and to renew your energy. Julie Sagnes, RMT ParadiseBreeze.ca

Are You Allergic to Gluten?
Gluten allergies have been increasing dramatically and gluten has been linked to illnesses such as celiac disease. Gluten is found in various grains, such as wheat, barley, and rye, and is difficult to avoid because it is in many foods. Bioresonance therapy can be used to test for celiac disease and can improve your immune system so the body can heal itself. This therapy involves sending healthy frequencies into your body to increase its energy and improve your health. Bioresonance therapy is completely painless and non-invasive.

Trust your Gut
Your immune system works hard to protect you from injury, illness, and disease. This process usually involves inflammation, a natural response to stress, tissue damage, and harmful stimuli like viruses, bacteria, and toxins. Inflammation functions similarly to an engine warning light, alerting you to the presence of a problem through symptoms such as heat, pain, redness, swelling, and/or loss of function. 85% of the immune system is located in our gut. An anti-inflammatory diet rich in vitamins A, C, and E and the mineral selenium provides your gut with the ingredients it needs to bolster immunity and achieve optimal mental and physical health.
