Do nighttime routines work? Sleep is more than just a time for your body to rest. This is the time when your bodily functions are actually pressing their own reset button. All of your systems slow down and your muscles and organs work to repair and restore themselves. So it’s important that you have a bedtime routine to prepare your body for all this work it has to do while you’re sleeping. Just make yourself…

If you’re staring at a bowl of soup, wishing it were an Italian sub, welcome to the ProLon experience. In this guide, I’ll share tips on how to survive the ProLon FMD 5-day fasting mimicking diet and why it’s worth it for your health journey. After completing the program twice, I’ve become a fan (and no, this isn’t a paid endorsement). I purchased the program because I was intrigued by the science behind it—how it…

In my never-ending anti-aging quest, I‘m becoming more and more dependent on my esthetician. I’m always tapping her for the best skincare products for over 50 and double-duty products. I recently asked my esthetician about some dermatologist recommended skin care products for aging skin and asked about the tips and tricks to having youthful skin, so I thought I’d share them here.
