Dr. Andrew Weil: Please follow and share the work of our friend and the leading pioneer in integrative medicine: Dr. Andrew Weil https://www.drweil.com/ instagram.com/drweil https://integrativemedicine.arizona.edu/ Dr. Andrew Weil, originally from Pennsylvania, traveled at a young age, hopping to Japan at just 17 years old in 1959. He then received his undergraduate and medical degrees at Harvard University. An integral part of his life -- he lived to study other cultures with an open mind. He believes that connecting with other living beings is a beautiful way to heal, feel and mend. He has a vibrant +close connection to his three dogs and his family, he loves cooking with his daughter and he lives between Tucson, AZ and up north in Canada. Andrew Weil noticed our stuffy medical system had some issues: --- physicians should be able to teach people how to live so they don’t get sick and if they do get sick – how to use the most natural least invasive treatments possible available to promote the body’s own healing abilities – integrative medicine. Prevention became key. His books continue to be my favorite source of relevant, useful and to the fucking point information we need, clear as ever and useful for generations to come. A key aspect of integrative medicine is lifestyle medicine - what we can do to protect and advance the body’s healing abilities starts with nutrition. period. read that line again. -Social media contributes to anxiety, anger, depression. Limit how much time you spend on social media to an hour or less a day. -Limit time you spend on all devices. -Regarding Covid: Take as many precautions as needed and please get tested, often. Wash hands, social distance, be mindful of others. EASY STEPS TO HELP CARE FOR OTHERS IN THESE TIMES: -WEAR A MASK: Japanese cultural traditions say; wear a mask to respect and care for others; it is a courtesy to protect other people. -NO NEWS: Limit your intake of social media//news. Please try this for a week, it makes a difference -INDEPENDENT: The more you attend to your own wellness, the more resistant you are to any infections. -SLEEP, MOVE, NATURE: Get enough sleep, physical activity, connect with nature. -- shin rin yoku - forest bathing in Japanese. -BE A BETTER COMMUNITY MEMBER: How to be a better community member: make wise decisions, be mindful of your surroundings. -MEDITATE: Goal of meditation is not only to sit quietly -- it’s to carry that state throughout the day. -COOK: Cooking is meditation for Dr. Weil and Candice. ON LIFE: -Always remain curious, chill with people that are not like you. -Food that’s good and food that’s good for you is the same same -- there is no difference. I love this point of Weil's the most. -First rule: stop eating refined, processed, and manufactured food. -Concentrate on whole, natural foods like fruits + veggies -Fermented food is the best kind of food and we love Japanese food! Miso, shoyu, natto, vinegars. + be mindful the kinds of food you eat -- take better care everyday + eat well + smarter. -Eating food fresh garden eats tastes better + has more nutrients -- go to your local Farmer's Market! - Drink more matcha tea: Dr Weil likes Matcha.com (vitamin C, immunity +antioxidant boost!) -Cultures that have the best general health and longevity: Japanese/Okinawa/Mediterranean countries – meat consumed on special occasions or in small quantities. - We both strongly believe that reducing consumption of animal foods for both personal and planetary health is imperative -- please take note to eat a plant based diet. (Look up Michael Pollan's books, they are extremely useful + to the point). -Advice for women: don’t smoke (don't vape!), don’t be a victim of the fashion industry, learn the basic facts of lifestyle medicine, learn and practice some method of managing stress. - Try Dr. Weil's 4-7-8 Breath, I personally use this every am while meditating. It's free, accessible and everyone has access to this, even Shinzo Abe-Sama. -Take Covid seriously, wear a mask, boost immunity by eating real and whole foods. -Limit exposure to social media and television news. -Pick up a book that you’ve never read before: Dr. Weil Natural Health Natural Medicine is my fave of all his books! He has so many to choose from, unbelievably successful at writing and so very humbled by grace: - Like Cooking? I highly recommend: Dr. Weil True Food: Seasonal, Sustainable, Simple, Pure. Dr Weil's Books available here: Spontaneous Healing is also another incredible read + very useful, resourceful and relevant Thank you Dr Weil, we respect and adhere to your ways bc you're on another cosmic level, levitating.

I’ve had to take a seat at the table, the boys club table, many, many times …more often than not, my talent, allure + kindness is what won everyone over.. (leather pencil-skirts work, too) but what I'm getting at: you don’t have to be a total bitch to get what you want. Make a seat for yourself: Create space for your name on the roster. It will be painful, triumphant and not easy ... but it will be done! It has been done by many, many women before our time. Commend them, support them, love them... women. Brave, beautiful, smart and hot, leading women. 1- make a seat 2- earn respect 3- become a commodity 4- smarter and serious 5- be honest 6- honor yourself 7- honor other women that's it, this week -- you fill in these blanks, and you tell me, on paper, how the f you're going to accomplish this at the boys table. have fun babes, bc we still get to wear lipstick and heels + turn a lot of heads. smart + beautiful women are the most dangerous thing on this planet X ck

See you back reporting on E! News Tues!! xx “Cleansing” it's not just green juices -- we’ve evolved to lifestyle cleansing for 2019. Hotter. Smarter. Better -- here's how: We associate cleansing with short term weight loss ...But history shows us that cleansing is really about ridding the mind-body-spirit of anything that is harmful. Cleansing should now be safely adopted as a way to optimize our health. Cleansing should keep us stronger, vibrant and vital for life. Historically, pleasure and health are intrinsically linked and 2019 is bringing back ancient cleansing methods -- that are trending like crazy! Our ancestors have been real deal cleansing for centuries.. I’m just here to report on those ancient traditions, making a modern cleansing comeback: Cleansing that’s pleasurable, ancient and DELISH is the new lifestyle: here 2019’s best trends to cleanse! 1- MATCHA CLEANSE! Show Graphic! The Matcha Cleanse: Swapping Matcha for Coffee -- this is the hottest and easiest way to get your beauty routine boosted, naturally, clear your mental focus and get more nutrients! Ritualistic beverage -- Trendyyy for 2019! Traditionally made with a bamboo whisk, bowl and hot water -- CK Matcha demo! Has 10x the amount of antioxidants as a standard cup of green leaf tea!!! Because you’re ingesting the whole leaf! Matcha gives you longer, sustained energy throughout the day, unlike coffee that causes a steep boost in energy and a hard crash More antioxidants in matcha than in coffee, getting the full nutritional value of green tea leaf May boost metabolism and may burn calories/fat May help in fighting off free radicals Also, this is a time to spend a few extra bucks on the good stuff like Matcha Love! It’s worth the splurge - don’t go for the cheap imitation matcha, you won’t gain the same benefits! 2- WHAT TO EAT: SOUP TO BEAUTY + ADD FERMENTED FOODS “cleansing” with sugary juices is deprivation!… of calories, of flavor, of pleasures. It doesn’t have to be that way. You can get red carpet ready in a healthy, pleasurable way. Soup is my secret weapon. Here’s why: SOUP TO CLEANSE: BONE BROTH BASED SOUPS CONTAIN COLLAGEN!! Its my secret ingredient to beautiful skin, glowing hair and healthy nails!! Bone broth promotes healthy digestion Protects your joints & strengthen your bones: HEALTHY GUT - you can add fresh ginger and turmeric too! VEGGIE BASED Souping is great for these colder months with nutrients and fiber and you can opt for a gazpacho during the summer time. When you juice: You will shed water weight -- when juicing -- but will likely gain it back! WATCH OUT FOR HIGH SODIUM SOUP + IF YOU’RE VEGAN try our carrot ginger soup + soups with beta carotene for a glow! EAT MORE FERMENTED FOODS Fermented Foods: Why? the smartest way to cleanse everyday -- our ancient ancestors practiced this: trends include: kombucha tea, ACV, fro yo with probiotics + miso is on the rise as a huge trend ingredient for 2019 Miso is a protein rich soy bean paste that provides the gut with beneficial bacteria to help the body stay healthy. Healthy gut is linked to mental and physical wellbeing. Miso is packed with health benefits, as it is a fermented food containing probiotics (good bacteria) which keep your gut flora happy, your immunity up and your digestive system healthy. Miso has anti-inflammatory benefits and is full of nutrients like zinc, copper, vitamin k, manganese, protein and fiber. 3- RELAX AND ADD RITUALS TO YOUR ROUTINE: It’s just as important to relax and chill this year as our ancestors have, here are some simple ways our ancestors have continuously learned to relax My Japanese ancestors have been reaping the benefits of Hot Springs and Onsen Baths for thousands of years. If you’re not traveling to Japan anytime soon, you can warm up your tub with some lavender + epsom salt and reap some of the same benefits including: Reduce more stress and relax the way my Japanese ancestors have Increasing circulation HELPS you to stay regular//cleansing If you’re feeling adventurous, find your nearest hot spring LIKE MY JAPANESE ANCESTORS DID! These are all realistic and easy to follow! Choose what YOU want to focus on for 2019 -- No rules! Cleanse your whole lifestyle and feel good the way our ancestors once did!

All the Stars ✨✨✨✨ ..... when you told me I’d never make it, I smiled inside and gracefully went back to my desk. when you didn’t give me the opportunities others in my space got, I created my own. when you told me I should get a real day job, a was already working 15 + launched my INC at 23. when you discriminated against me because I was an Asian female, but tried to hide that, I knew & it pushed me closer to my heritage. when you tried to ride my coattail, and abuse my kindness, I silently knew + I handled it with grace. when you didn’t support me through the tough times, I took notes. If you want to be of “influence” I suggest you go back to your desk/kitchen/school/studio/creative space/inward + work smarter + harder, for 10 years ++ show us what you’re made of. Educate yourself. when the battery dies, how valuable is your heart? How profound your work? It took me a really, really, really long time to get here + I’m still struggling to be my best self.... if you have IT—- keep shining.
