Being a Holistic Wellness company, we love exploring all the ways nature can keep your body and spirit happy and healthy. One of the most important things you can do for your body is help it detox on a daily basis. Toxins are everywhere; from the air to the food we eat, our body is introduced to roughly 1 million toxins a day. Luckily, our organs do an outstanding job at filtering most of those toxins out, but there is always more you can do to help. That's where Environmental Detox comes in, our newest member of the wellness family is a heightened up version of our beloved DIM supplement.
Environmental Detox is chock-full of minerals and extracts to kick your body into a detoxing machine. Let's take a closer look at all the amazing things this new supplement has to offer.
DIM - Diindolylmethane, an extract from cruciferous vegetables, binds estrogenic toxins that aid in hormonal balance. This ingredient is perfect to treat those pesky hormonal breakouts, hair growth or loss in relation to hormonal imbalance and all around helps balance your system.
Activated Charcoal - Activated Charcoal acts like a sponge to absorb toxins and harmful compounds and helps to decrease the work load of the liver to detoxify the body. This wonder also improves defense mechanisms for all major organs.
Glutathione S-transferase - This is the most active detoxification agent in the body. It conjugates toxins so they become water soluble, which in turn makes those pesky toxins less active and more apt to be removed by the body.
Those three musketeers of ingredients receive back up strength from raw cacao, yucca root, and butyarate, making this supplement a detoxing powerhouse. This revolutionary wizard supplement is an all-encompassing tool that can and should be taken by all! Not only will Environmental Detox remove toxins from the gut, it also goes deeper into your cells to aid in toxin removal.
Helping your body by removing toxins on the daily, allows for your organs to function regularly and gives them a little vacation from overworking. This newness is your magic bullet to toxin-free wellness.
Our bodies may seem calm and steady on the surface, but did you know that at our cellular level, our DNA works tirelessly around the clock to repair itself? Yes, DNA repair occurs in our bodies roughly 100 TRILLION times a day! Holy smokes that's a lot of work. DNA repair is vital to our bodies' health (skin included) and our overall well-being. You all know that we love providing cutting-edge, healthy, clean, and holistic skincare that works at a cellular level, and we must say that we love to toot our own horn when it comes to DNA repair... toot, toot!
DNA repair needs to happen on the inside and out in order for our health and our skin's health to remain in-tact and happy. We boast a patented, technology that boosts DNA repair on both the inside and outside of our bodies. We have two wonderful topical serums to choose from as well as one of our top 5 wellness products that aid in repair on the inside, let's take a closer look:
Catalyst Plus+ - This DNA repair serum is perfect for sensitive skin or those just starting out on their results-driven skincare journey. This patented formula hosts a lot of incredible technology! Catalyst Plus+ is full of Vitamin C, amino acids and minerals that target our skin's cell turnover and creates a harmonious effect on calming and age-reversal. Ideal for even the most sensitive of skin, Catalyst Plus+ will help soothe wounds, boost sun protection, and reduce the sings of fine lines, skin tags, broken capillaries, and hyperpigmentation...that is a lot of action from one little serum!
Catalyst AC-11 - The Big-Kahuna of DNA repair and age reversal, Catalyst AC-11 has proven itself as a skin health all star! AC-11, our patented technology which activates your natural zinc finger remodeling process, which is vital to DNA repair, aids in repairing all of your skin-sins. From sun damage to aging, scars to pigmentation, Catalyst AC-11 has been clinically proven to increase skin's elasticity and firmness and decrease signs of aging and sun damage. Catalyst AC-11 is ideal for all normal to mature skin types. If there is one item you need in your skincare regimen, this is it. It's your do-all, heal-all DNA repairing machine!
Elevate - This internal supplement contains our AC-11 ingredient which aids in DNA repair on the inside. When our DNA repairs itself, our immune system get a healthy boost, our internal symptoms of sun and free-radical damage reduce drastically helping our organs work better. It is vital that we treat our immune system just as good as we treat our skin. Our immunity protects us from disease, cancers, pathogens and, well, all of the bad things out there that can alter our health. Elevate is a key supplement to take in order to keep your DNA damage at a minimum AND keep it working 100 TRILLION times a day.
The science behind DNA repair is still relatively new, and we couldn't be more excited to be o the forefront of its development. AC-11 has been shown in human, animal, and in-vitro studies to increase DNA repair by up to 40%. FORTY PERCENT! That is an incredible result. AC-11 is a pure form of wizardry, the process in which we obtain it is quite fascinating. Imagine you are making a cake and you need to sieve your dry ingredients together in order to remove any bulky or larger lumps of salt, sugar, and flour so you get the smoothest cake possible (mmmmm cake). AC-11 goes through a similar process, removing any heavy materials (like tannins and alkaloids) which in turn, allows for a shockingly pure form of awesome that absorbs easier for the ultimate therapeutic benefit to your body and skin.
Adding one of our DNA Repair Serums and Elevate to your daily wellness routine is bound to shock and amaze you with its jaw-dropping results. Want to learn more about our technology? Check out our studies and patents to lean all about our unique approach to skincare and health.
February is National American Heart Month, and we want to check in with you, dear readers, to make sure you are doing everything in your power to protect your ticker. Heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases are still the number 1 cause of death in the US, which means that cardio vascular diseases claim more lives than all cancer's combined. If that isn't a scary statistic, we don't know what is. Often, symptoms of heart disease or warning signs of heart attack or stroke are so mild, many ignore them until it is too late. Check in with The Heart Foundation to touch base on warning signs not to ignore.
Luckily there are actions you can take to reduce your risk of this prolific killer. We have put together a Heart Smart Wellness regimen to take part in for the month of February and we hope that you prolong this regimen into your life long regimen.
Let's start with Diet:
Your heart needs clean, whole foods to keep it healthy. You should eat a diet low in salt, transfats and saturated fats. Add plenty of unsaturated fats like fish, olive oil, and avocados and stick with lean, organic meats and stay away from overindulging in red meat. Of course (this should come as no surprise) fresh organic veggies and fruits should always have a place on your plate at each meal. Did you know that the Mediterranean Diet has been voted the top healthiest diet year over year by medical and holistic professionals? It's an easy way to keep your heart healthy and your spirit satiated.
Supplements:
Starting to treat, heal or prevent heart disease is a snap! We love utilizing Inner Harmony Harmonized Water which restores cellular balance to your organs and protecting them from the millions of daily toxins that we are faced with. Next we suggest using Body Talk. Depression, anxiety, and stress are huge factors that can cause very some negative impacts on your heart. Negative thoughts do way more than just bum you out, they can wreak havoc on your heart, mind, and spirit. Body Talk will help give you the tools to redirect your negative thoughts. With meditation, Inner Harmony and Body Talk, you can start to calm your heart and lower stress-induced illness. Disruptor Water is another supplement you should take twice a year to give your organs harmony by detoxing viruses and pathogens from the body.
Cardio Workouts:
Working out your heart is the most important thing you can do for your health. 30 minutes of cardio a day keeps your heart pumping, and strengthens it overall. When you exercise, your heart kicks into detox mode, pumping toxins from your body your cells. Grab a buddy and hit the pavement, gym or spare room, as long as you are moving with gusto for 30 minutes a day, your heart will thank you.
Show your heart you love it this month. Set the intention to do the above steps for 28 days. Once your 28 days are up, check in with yourself and see if this is a routine that you can keep up with for good!
Healing the body is no easy task. We are disrupted daily with toxins, pathogens, illnesses and disease, and sometimes it just feels like too much to handle. After years of studying internal health and frequencies, Dr. Ben has found a frequency that performs just like, well, magic. We are not saying this is the end-all-be-all of harmonized waters, but it is pretty darn close. Your wellness is so important to us, and we can't wait to see what this water does for you.
Disruptor Harmonized Water is our newest addition to the wellness team. This is not your typical Harmonized Water, its personalized dosage based on weight allows you to get the strongest frequency available, right then and there. Disruptor also has the ability to heal and treat multiple health concerns in a non-invasive, holistic way. So many of our illnesses can be traced back to a pathogen, and Disruptor goes straight to the source.
This water is perfect to keep in your medicine cabinet in case of sore throat, sinus issues, stomach flu, viral infection... the list goes on. Essentially, you will take Disruptor at the first sign of an illness and let it do its thing. We suggest taking it on a weekend as you may experience a detox as the virus, or pathogens are leaving your body which may leave you feeling depleted, lethargic or "just off" as some users have reported. Once the detox is complete (usually 24-72 hours) you will start feeling better with higher energy and a pep in your step. This is when your body starts healing internally. The effects of Disruptor can last months and it is great to take even if you don't feel sick, just to get a little detox boost.
We sincerely can't wait to hear all about your experience with Disruptor, keep us posted here, or here... or here using #startwithin.
We've nogged, binged, celebrated, and eaten way more sugar and junk than we probably wanted to for the holiday season (totally worth it), so now that we have renewed energy and a new year to look forward to, we want to give our bodies a little nudge in a healthy direction and let our organs and spirit recuperate from the holidays. Jump starting your New Year Detox is easy and you'll love the results.

Use these supplements daily in conjunction with our favorite detox. Take this detox easy, treat yourself kindly, and be ready to feel empowered and ready to take on 2017 without toxins weighing you down!
It's officially a new year! We love the invigorating sense we feel once the clock strikes midnight on December 31st. We also LOVE our stance on NOT partaking in New Year's resolutions this year. Instead (in case you missed it) we are giving you, ourselves, and well... everyone permission to go easy on themselves this year asking that instead of a list of large goals, we are making small changes in our daily activities to better our health, wellness, and spirit. Find out more about our #StartWithin - Empower campaign here.
Now that the New Year is here, we just wanted to check in with you dear readers, and see how everyone is doing with their daily adjustments?
We wanted to give you a few more tools to make this year, your most powerful yet!
1. Journal! Take note of your feelings, daily happenings, and thoughts written in your stream of conscious. Read every entry at the end of each week and revel in how creative, smart, and wonderful your brain is.
2. Move! Take daily walks for as long or as short as you want, just move! Put on your favorite tune and walk your block, dance around, or moonwalk down your driveway. Simply giving your body a little love by letting it move freely is all you need to feel empowered.
3. Be Well! Obviously we want your health and wellness to be as important to you as it is to us. Make an effort to get in your twice daily Elevate and DIM. If you have trouble remembering to take your supplements, don't be hard on yourself (trust us, we don't make our always daily doses either). Simply leave a cute sticky note in your bathroom as a reminder or set an alarm on your phone and assign the label Power Up to the alarm... then you'll know to down your supplements and maybe get a little giggle.
4. Talk to us! Go here, or here and use our 2017 hashtag #StartWithin and let us know what efforts you are making! We are here for you and can't wait to read about all of your healthy 2017 choices so far!
Is it that time of year already? 2017 is just over the horizon and as it gets closer, we start reflecting on the past year - everything we accomplished, our highlights and every hurdle we jumped. The other thoughts that pop into our minds are the goals that may have fallen by the wayside. That's typically where the New Year's Resolutions start manifesting. While we love setting goals (crossing things off lists is, after all, a great feeling)... but how many of your New Year's Resolutions are re-do's from the past year, past two years or a re-run for the last decade? Yeah, us too! Don't fret, because this year, instead of making a list of goals most of us will forget about, we're choosing to ring in 2017 with one word in mind: EMPOWER. With this word, we're making a commitment to ourselves, to you, and to our well-being to be the best we can be without a list of New Year's Resolutions, because change starts within, not with a list. So join us in our #startwithin movement and say goodbye to New Year's Resolutions and say hello to the new, always improving and always fabulous you!
Here are some ways, to start your New Year off right without the stress!
1. Make small daily adjustments to better your internal, spiritual and emotional health. These adjustments should be small, building up momentum as the year (and you) move forward. Try meditating or journal every morning. Keep the thoughts positive. Try our Body Talk Meditation and start seeing results in the way you think of yourself.
2. Look at the past. That's right, take a long, hard look at all you accomplished in 2016. Make a list and revisit that list every time you are feeling stuck.
3. Say goodbye to the negative. While you look at your past years accomplishments, take note of the losses, misgivings and negative impacts from 2016. Once that list is complete give yourself an hour (no more and no less) to grieve, mourn, and accept the bad. Next, step outside and set that list on fire. In the words of Elsa, "let it go, let it go." Accepting the negative, letting it go and moving forward is an ideal task to complete before 2017 rolls in. Start fresh without having past "boo's" cloud your momentum and #StartWithin.
4. Positive affirmations. Write down, in one to two words on multiple sticky notes how you want to FEEL this coming year. Use our word, Empowered or Joyous, Content, Productive, Courage, Strength, Gratitude... the list goes on. Tape them up in places you will see everyday to remind yourself that every action you take should invoke one of those feelings.
5. Take small steps. Be sure to pay a little focus to small things that can impact your health in big ways. These steps should be easy to obtain, and should be taken day by day. It can be as small as flossing daily. Set a note up in your bathroom as a reminder. (DYK that flossing daily can decrease your risk for heart disease)? Keep the focus simple, unclouded and meaningful.
6. Gain gratitude. Let your grateful heart shine through your every pore. No matter what trials and wins you go through this coming year, know that they are stepping stones to personal growth. Throw shame out the window and hit your ups and downs head on. Share your gratitude with strangers. Tell someone at the coffee shop you like their hair, or that they look great today. Giving, after-all is the best way to make your heart sing.
Be empowered this coming year. Your life is in your hands alone and we want to help guide you to optimal wellness, inside and out. We are all in this together and we can't wait to see how you soar in 2017!
Let us know what you are doing to Empower yourself by using our 2017 hashtag: #startwithin.

Inflammation can be a fickle beast. If your organs are inflamed then chances are your skin is as well. If your skin is inflamed, you may not be feeling too happy. Did you know what we eat and put into our bodies has a HUGE effect on our overall wellness? Foods with high fat, sugar, and salt can heighten inflammation as can heavy diets consisting of red meat and deli meats (which are heavily processed and extremely high in sodium). In order to bring our inflammation down we need to put alkalizing food into our system. When our bodies are low in acidity and high on alkaline, inflammation is diminished. There are some really great and tasty foods to incorporate into your daily diet to help keep your wellness in check. Let's take a deeper look into the Osmosis plan for anti-inflammation eating.
1. Whole Grain: Whole grains are high in fiber and low in sugar. They also help keep your bowel movements regular which is key to keeping your intestines healthy!
2. Dark Leafy Greens: It's no secret that dark leafy greens play a vital role in your wellness and health. Vitamin E rich greens play a key role in protecting the body from inflammation-causing proteins. The chlorophyl in leafy greens also contributes to beneficial detoxing and skin health.
3. Nuts: Nuts that are rich in omega-3, antioxidants, and healthy fats are vital to reducing inflammation. Adding nuts like Almonds, Walnuts, and Pecans can reduce inflammation in as little as six weeks time.
4. Bright colored veggies and spices: Ginger, Turmeric, Onion, and Garlic are perfect foods to add into any meal to help fight inflammation and toxins. Peppers, tomatoes, and beets also contribute to wellness with their antioxidant powers and protect the body from harmful chemicals. Juicing these healthful veggies in the morning with lemon and berries is a great way to start your day!
5. Olive Oil: This oil is high in good fats and aids in keeping the body lubricated, which aids in toxin and inflammation excretion. Olive Oil is a great substitute for butter and other saturated fats used to flavor and cook food.
6. Citrus: Orange, lemon, and lime are high in heart-healthy and immune-healthy Vitamin C. These fruits are highly alkalizing which contributes to low inflammation.
**Additional supplements to help fight inflammation include Complete and Inner Harmony. These two help with proper digestion and balance of the organs' main functions. Don't forget to take Complete after every meal to aid in enzymatic functions and Inner Harmony morning and night to balance your body's internal wellness.**
These six all-stars are foods that can easily fit into your daily diet and taste delicious. One of our favorite recipes to utilize these fabulous foods is Forbidden Kale Salad. See the recipe below and get to eating!
Forbidden Kale Salad:
Serves 2
1 1/2 Cups Cooked Black Rice (aka Forbidden Rice)
4 Cups Kale (torn into bite-sized pieces)
1 Large Beet (cooked and chopped)
1/2 Chopped Onion (red or white)
Dressing:
2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Crushed Almonds
1 Clove Garlic (diced)
1 Tablespoon Fresh, Organic Almond Butter
1 Juicy Lime
Pinch of Salt and Pepper
Fresh grated Ginger and Turmeric for garnish and flavor.
Combine all oil, almond butter, garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper and whisk together until all ingredients are emulsified.
In a large bowl combine rice, beets, onion, and kale.
Drizzle dressing onto the salad and toss until everything is well-coated.
Sprinkle almonds, ginger, and turmeric on top. Serve it up and eat it! This salad makes for a great lunch or dinner. You could even add a scrambled egg to it and down it for breakfast!
Our skincare is dependent on how we treat our bodies internally. When our bodies are balanced and low on inflammation our skin will glow with health. For an in-depth eating plan to help squash inflammation and detox like a pro, go here.
Enjoy this recipe and enjoy treating your body right!
Ahhhhh, Father's Day, the hardest shopping day of the year! Why is it always so difficult to find the perfect gift for good ol' Dad? Well, Dads are pretty special, and they deserve as much love and gratitude we can give them. After a while cigars, Scotch, and Clint Eastwood movies become redundant for gifts. This year why not gift your father with wellness to let him know that you care about him and want him to stick around for a LONG time?
We have put together the perfect gift for Dad this year, ideal for a quick shave, skincare, and wellness routine.
Our top 4 picks for Dad:
* Deep Clean: Help Dad remove dirt, oil, and daily debris from his skin. This subtle scented face wash is quick and easy to use without an overpowering smell. Dad's love it!
* Immerse: This moisture booster just so happens to make the most perfect shave oil! This will effectively soften hair follicles making their removal all the less invasive and all the more gentle. It also leaves your skin feeling moisturized instead of dryer and stripped.
* DIM & Vigor: These two are like peas and carrots. Coupling these supplements together creates an internal Super Man ready to take on toxins, imbalanced hormones...(and Lex Luthor). DIM draws out estrogenic toxins (in men, these can cause male breasts, enlarged prostate, unwanted hair growth, and acne). DIM is the perfect supplement to add into Dad's routine to make sure his body is functioning like a well oiled machine. Pair DIM with Vigor, and Dad will be unstoppable. Vigor aids in balancing male hormones, targeting hair loss, muscle mass, and overall health. This power couple is the perfect gift to make sure your father sticks around for a long time!
Men's Health Month is upon us, and we want you to know that we've brought a new player to the wellness game just for you dapper dudes. Here at Osmosis, we like to provide the best in wellness, skincare, beauty and grooming. Men's Health, as you can guess, fits right into our desire to provide the best products to further your wellness journey. This month, in honor of all you men out there, we are shinning the spotlight on our Harmonized Water, Vigor.
Vigor should be a part of your daily wellness routine, especially for men over 30. We bet you are wondering why. Don't worry, we are about to tell you exactly why Vigor is the perfect addition for you and your overall wellness.
Considering that testosterone, muscle mass, skin elasticity, and hair follicles begin to go a little off the grid when you head into your 30's, you want to make sure you keep that hormonal disruption as balanced and pleasant as possible for your spirit and body. Let's take a closer look at how and why Vigor will help make those pesky hormones balanced and happy.
* Aids in rejuvenating the hair follicle, reducing hair loss.
* Improves testosterone activity - Vigor is not a hormone replacement, it simply utilizes the testosterone that already exists in your body, making it work more efficiently.
* Increases Libido (this benefits your significant other as well....*giggle*)
* Gives your muscles a more harmonized platform to rebuild and rejuvenate.
* Overall balance of your hormones. When your hormones are balanced, there is no stopping what you can do.
If you feel sluggish, foggy, and down-right low, Vigor could be the balancing act you need to straighten out your hormones and make them work for you!
Bet on yourself this month men! Life without vigor, is just boring!
"Holy allergies Batman!" - say's pretty much everyone ever this time of year. Allergies are nature's tricksters. They can make you feel like you are coming down with a cold, vertigo, migraines, temporary blindness... (that one may be a bit dramatic), but really allergies are the worst!
Runny noses, itchy red eyes, foggy brains, and sleepiness are all symptoms of allergy sufferers. It seems like no matter what you try, success of squashing these symptoms proves to be quite difficult. Well have we got a solution for you! Close your eyes and imagine running in a cotton field without any problems! That's right, our Environmental Protection Harmonized Water can make it so!
This allergy season's got nothing on you when you are equipped with this little gem!
Environmental Protection kicks butt at harmonizing your immunity defense against environmental toxins... including, you guessed it, allergy inducing buggers. Our bodies are exposed daily to carbon monoxide, glucose, sulfites, nitrites, mercury, lead, arsenic, and more. This formula is specifically designed to balance the disharmonies associated with those toxins. If your immune system is running like a well-oiled machine and is not being weighed down by these toxins, it frees up more energy to squash allergens! Add this allergy crime-fighter to your daily routine this season and say goodbye to those pesky allergy symptoms! Heck, you could even roll around in a field of dandelions... just remember, they stain.
It is officially that time of year... Pre-swimsuit season! The gym memberships are primed, you've completed your Spring Detox and you are ready to take the next step to a healthy, strong, swimsuit-ready body! What ever workout you are about to embark on (or already do consistently) it is extremely important to make sure you give your body the proper fuel before you start. Pre-workout fuel is all about the carbs and sugar (natural sugar that is). We love prepping our workout with Energize Me Harmonized Water. It's the perfect start to hydrating and prepping your body for some work. Once we have taken our Energize Me we like to start with something simple like whole wheat toast with sliced bananas and cinnamon. The carbs from the toast will provide consistent energy throughout your workout, while the banana will keep your potassium levels balanced (we lose potassium when we sweat) and cinnamon, of course helps rev up your metabolism. Another great and tasty recipe we love is an overnight oats smoothie.
The night before your workout combine:
1/2 cup gluten free oats
3/4 cup milk, water, or dairy-free milk (like almond or coconut)
1/2 Banana
8-10 whole pecans
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
Place all ingredients in a blender or sealed container and pop in the fridge overnight.
Once you are ready to fuel up (1 -1/2 hours before your workout) blend the ingredients, eat from a bowl, or drink from a cup. This little pre-workout gem gives you plenty of fuel by gradually releasing sugar to your body for an extra kick of energy while the water content from the bananas will help keep your body hydrated.
After your pre-workout meal, take an Elevate. This will kick your metabolism to ready mode, provide sustained energy throughout your workout, AND help improve muscle tone and function. Elevate also keeps your brain sharp, helping you stay focused during your workout.
Between Energize Me, Elevate, and a healthy pre-workout meal, you have a trifecta of awesome just waiting to help you obtain a healthy, strong body. Now put on your 'tennies' and hit the pavement!
Environmental Detox is chock-full of minerals and extracts to kick your body into a detoxing machine. Let's take a closer look at all the amazing things this new supplement has to offer.
