Beauty Biohacks for Women Over 50

Let’s face it, skin, flexibility, elasticity, endurance, eyesight, bone density, and weight all change as we age, but one thing does improve…and that is wisdom!

As a Holistic Nutritionist and Health Coach, my goal is to support my client’s overall health, and my own, using as many natural and holistic tools as possible. This means getting to the root of the problem, or symptom and targeting that, as opposed to putting a temporary bandaid on the issue.

So, to support some of the outer changes women over 50 might experience, I’m turning within. After all, beauty comes from the inside, so this is where we are starting. Using nutrition, supplements, and micro current frequency programs, you can nourish and increase energy production of the cells, reduce inflammation, and increase collagen production to improve elasticity in the skin for that ageless glow.

If you haven’t already checked out my most popular webinar, Biohacking Beauty, I highly recommend you set aside 30 minutes and dive in. Below is a recap of the holistic tools I personally use to keep myself ageing beautifully.

What is biohacking?

Biohacking is a term people may use to describe do-it-yourself biology. Biohacking involves someone making incremental changes to their body, diet, and lifestyle to improve their health and well-being. The dictionary’s definition is the use of “biological experimentation (as by gene editing or the use of drugs or implants) done to improve the qualities or capabilities of living organisms”. Women, like us, may want to hack their biology for various reasons, such as to:

have control over and optimize their health
explore new healing tools and remedies
extend their youthful glow

Beauty is skin deep

The skin is the body’s largest organ. We want to support it on a cellular level. A cell is the smallest building block in every organ of your body. You have about 70 trillion of them in your body and just One inch of your skin has approximately 19 million skin cells. So, you can imagine that your skin, being your largest organ, contains millions of these building blocks. Skin health is so much more than what you put on it topically. Have you noticed how some people’s skin just glows with energy? Some have more fine lines, some skin has scars, some is supple and elastic.

The term skin energy refers to the cellular life force that circulates through the skin. Skin, like every other part of your body and surroundings, vibrates at a frequency. Skin charged with energy is radiant, supple, hydrated and healthy looking while dehydrated, whereas dull and inflamed skin is lacking in energy and nutrients.

Also, skin contains the connective tissue, collagen and elastin is the glue that holds us together. As our collagen levels decrease with age or from overexposure to sun, chemicals, and other elements that break down our structure, we need to support ourselves even more with producing more. You might see wrinkles, less elastin, spots, and damage that we cannot see.

How is skin energy created?

Our skin cells are powered by minute structures within the cell called mitochondria, they are the energy plant of the cell. Mitochondria produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) an essential energy molecule which performs multiple cellular functions.

How do skin cells use energy?

Mitochondria play a vital role in the skin. While the energy requirement may not be as great as other organs, such as skeletal muscle, it is still integral for processes like cell signalling, wound healing, pigmentation, and hair growth. We can also use specific foods to help stimulate collagen production, which we’ll tackle shortly. As we age our mitochondria lose the ability to create cellular energy, but we can take action to reactivate them. Energy can get blocked in the skin from scar tissue, tattoos, past injuries, and acne.

How do you energize the skin’s cells?

Unfortunately, we can’t just change a dead bettery or plug in a charger like we do with our phones. Let me introduce you to my favourite holistic wellness tool, called Healy. It is a wearable microcurrent frequency device that scans your bioeneregetic field, and harmonizes where energy might be blocked. The Bioenergetic Field (BEF) is the flow of life energy connecting body, mind and soul, traditionally known as Chi (or Qi) and Prana. Because everything is energy, everything has a frequency, including our skin.

Running a microcurrent program on your skin increases the cellular voltage of the cells by 500% to increase function and health of the cell on all levels. This increases functions of the cell, mitochondrial function, amino acid transport, protein synthesis (collagen!), reduces inflammation, and signals to the cells to release toxic waste they are holding.

Frequency applications have been developed over decades of research by practitioners and scientists. This one is an FDA cleared medical device that professionals use and anyone can purchase one to use at home, as well. I use it not only for skin, but also for sleep, all my organs, emotional health, energy protection, pain relief, and nutrition, and I can energize my water and drink it.

Harmonize the bioenergetic field of your skin

Using Healy, the wearable micro current device, you can boost the energy production of your cells by up to 500%, decrease inflammation, and increase collagen production. Here are 4 of my go-tos:

Skin Energy: harmonization of the bioenergetic field for smooth skin. Bioenergetic promotion of collagen, elastin and the connective tissues. This program is also said to work with the lymphatic system just beneath the skin.

2. Skin Impurity: harmonization of skin impurities in the bioenergetic field. Bioenergetic poromotion of toxin transport. This energy can help to stimulate the processes that help the skin resolve and restore balance.

3. Scar Harmony: Inner Beauty: Balancing of energetic interference that causes scarring. Scar tissue is composed of collagen, however the fibers are different to normal tissue. They are fibrous and grow over the site of the injury. The body produces tissue that can grow out of control causing pain and lack of movement. the scar tissues can be deep within the body or closer to the surface of the skin. These frequencies offer bioenergetic support on a systemic level.

4. Inner Beauty: The beauty that radiates from a soul level shins from within and radiates outward into the warmth. Inner beauty is a more deep and meaningful beauty. It supports energy of compassion, a pure heart, a deep unconditonal caring. If you are judging yourself too harshly and only look to your physical appearance, it’s time to enhance this frequency in your bioenergetic field to radiate your inner beauty.

What to eat to support collagen and elastin

This is the magic that gives us that inner glow, the beauty that radiates from within. For your skin to produce collagen, you need vitamin C, and 3 amino acids that are proline, glycine, and lysine.

These are what I call, “Beauty Foods”, which contain these specific proteins and vitamins for skin health and collagen production, that you can eat on a daily basis to support your collagen production:

Water: Not only is water important to hydrate cells, and flush toxins, but frequency energy runs through water. Before and after a microcurrent frequency program, be sure to drink a glass of water.

Vitamin C: citrus fruits, blueberries, pumpkins, squash, bell peppers, dark leafy greens, tropical fruits, tomatoes, broccoli

Proline: helping form collagen, regenerating cartilage, forming connective tissue, repairing skin damage and wounds. Found primarily in whole eggs and egg whites, organ meat, wild-caught fish, chicken, beef, bone broth. You can also get a full panel of amino acids in this collagen powder.

Glycine: helps with the formation of flexible cartilage. Found in spirulina, eggs, poultry skin, legumes like tofu, peanuts and peanut butter, peas, mungo beans, lentils, and kidney beans, spinach, asparagus, cabbage

Lysine: promotes healthy growth of skin and plays a role in the formation of collagen. Found in red meat, chicken, eggs, fish, such as cod or sardines, beans,lentils, cottage cheese, wheat germ,nuts,soybeans,brewer’s yeast,spirulina

Zinc: needed for building keratin and for the formation of the skin’s structural protein – collagen. It also fights bacteria, which can be beneficial for acne. Found in pumpkin seeds, oysters, meat, dairy, Whole grain cereals, beans

Lycopene: Antioxidants help prevent and undo photodamage to collagen in the skin. Lycopene specifically helps prevent skin discoloration, texture changes, and fine lines and wrinkles. Found in papaya, tomatoes, beets, bell peppers, apricots, melons
