Beach Season - Weight Loss Protocol



Weight loss is achieved in different ways. Most weight loss that is slow and
steady is done through caloric restriction and is permanent in nature until eating excess calories again. The weight loss associated with carb restrictions in which someone is still eating high calorie foods is primarily water loss. However, many carb restricted diets have low calorie levels and those will show more rapid weight loss initially but result in real weight loss over time.  Most dietary supplements tend to work by increasing metabolism and/or causing diuresis (the release of fluids).  They tend to be temporary fixes because the body compensates for these two changes and the weight often will return.  Our protocol is unique in that the weight stays off because the body is not forced into an unhealthy state. 


Elevate increases cellular ATP production which increases metabolism, but on the body’s schedule, not forced. The clinical trial shows it burned about 1.65lbs of fat a month continuously.  It is healthy for the body so the body does not compensate for the changes and the weight stays off.  It also helps build lean muscle and accelerates fat burning during exercise both of which help the weight loss goal. 

Environmental Protection Harmonized Water uses frequencies to cancel out toxins in the body. This allows the body to excrete these toxins and the fluid that surrounded them. So, in this case, the fluid loss is not dehydrating, it was the fluid retained by the cell to protect it from the toxin. This fluid will not return over time since the toxin is eliminated in the process. People usually see about 5lbs of weight come off the first month. We have had reports of as much as 30lbs, but that is highly unusual.



For best results, take 2-3 Elevate capsules 2-3 times a day and 5-7 pumps of Environmental Protection 2 times a day.

Simplifying StemFactor - Dr Johnson's Corner



Simplifying StemFactor


Are you hooked on the advanced formula for StemFactor yet? If not, it’s time to get on board! This incredible formulation performs above any other growth factor serum out there. Utilizing the exosome technology, StemFactor can provide better penetration and more activity for stunning results.
     

So what is an exosome and why is it so important?


Exosomes maintain the health of stem cells and protect and deliver the vital molecules that stem cells make such as growth factors, proteins and cytokines. This protective shield around the growth factors have receptor arms on the outside to activate cells and improve penetration. The receptor arms are what make the growth factors easily accepted into our skin and connect to our cell walls; therefore making it more stable and significantly more potent than any liposomal or unprotected growth factor serum. Growth factors occur naturally in the body and regulate the division and reproduction of cells. Each growth factor has receptors that communicate different “instructions” for each cell. Some “instructions” may include stimulating collagen, protein, blood vessel formation, fibrolasts, immune repair and new cell production. All of these, plus another 150 growth factors are found in StemFactor. The use of exosomes to encapsulate growth factors results in unparalleled performance. Healing of damaged, hyperpigmented, rosacea and aged skin is encouraged, creating healthy, younger, beautiful skin.


       

Maximize Your Skin's Potential

After age 30, the amount of growth factors in your skin progressively declines impacting your skin's ability to heal itself. Using advanced technologies and a balanced approach, Osmosis Skincare's StemFactor replenishes the growth factor activity in your skin in a safe and effective way.

What does your lipstick color say about you?


if you wear red lipstick...
Ladies who go for this classic shade come off as

creative and daring. They're most likely to be the

extroverted partier who also likes to keep in shape

by putting in time at the gym.
if you wear pink lipstick...

 

 
This lighter shade is associated with sociable and fun

people, but don't underestimate these gals! These

pink lip-wearers are very powerful; most senior

executives opt for this shade over plums or nudes.
if you wear plum lipstick...
These might not be the senior executive type, but ladies rockin' a plum
lip are independent and self-sufficient.  They also tend to be more
"chill" or the homebody type that loves staying in on a Friday night
with Netflix. These women rarely post selfies and own the least
number of shoes.
if you wear nude lipstick...
Women who wear this shade are warm and caring.  They're super-
confident because they wear lipstick more often since it looks au
naturale. Also, a fun factoid: Psychologists recommend a nude lip
goes over best on a first date; more than any of the other colors.

5 Tips to Spring Clean your Makeup

  1. Clean all your brushes, eyelash curlers and pencil sharpeners.
  2. Clean your makeup bag.
  3. Toss out old products – check the PAO (period after opening). All Osmosis Colour products have a PAO of 24 months J
  4. If a product doesn’t look or smell right throw it out.
  5.  Simplify, if you’ve been holding on to unopened products for a while, toss ‘em, it’s good feng shui.

Simplifying Serums - Dr Johnson's Corner


Dr Johnson's Corner - April 2015


Simplifying Serums

The Osmosis Vitamin A Serums are the most powerful age reversing serums available. They allow the skin to help remodel itself through increased nutrition, immune repair and collagen and elasticity production.

We use Retinaldehyde which is the only Vitamin A that is proven to stimulate collagen as well as Retin A, works on rosacea, does not cause inflammation or skin sensitivity and is completely stable.

Our Vitamin A Serums are designed by the level of active and corrective ingredients to align with skin tolerance. Below is a guide to help understand our levels:

Renew

The strongest age reversing serum in the world, plain and simple (0.1% Retinal).

Correct

The second strongest, same active ingredients as Renew, but with less Retinaldehyde (.05% Retinal).

Calm

Focuses on redness in the skin; has the same amount of Retinadelyde as Correct but there is less niacinamide and more anti-inflammatories than both Correct and Renew.

Relieve

Focuses on redness and has the same active ingredients as Calm but with less Retinaldehyde (.025% Retinal).

Clarify

Focuses on blemished skin and has more acne related ingredients than age reversing ingredients; has the same amount of Retnaldehyde as Calm and Correct (.05% Retinal).
Some of the key ingredients you will find in our Vitamin A Serums include: Retinaldehyde, 1,3 Beta Gluca, Niaciniaminde, Willow Herb, Chlorella Vulgaris and Phosphatidylcholine.

Make the best of your Vitamin A Serums!

To use these incredible age-reversing serums we always recommend pairing them with the Clear or Clear Plus+ Harmonized Water spray to help provide you with even better penetration and a smoother feel.

To read more about the science behind Retinaldehyde and why we chose it, read this article by Dr Johnson. Afterwards, mosey on over to the Science Center where you can find published articles on our ingredients as well as research summaries for your expanded knowledge!
