  • What it Means to be Regenerative Organic Certified with Evanhealy's Holistic Esthetician, Jamie Burkhalter ✨Ep. 115
    May 20 2025

    Your skincare brand might claim to be "clean," but EvanHealy is taking it to an entirely new level with regenerative organic certification.

    In this conversation with Jamie Burkhalter, holistic aesthetician and herbal formulator at EvanHealy, we dive deep into the revolutionary concept of regenerative organic certified skincare. While many brands focus on organic ingredients, EvanHealy is pioneering a movement that goes beyond basic sustainability. They strive to actively heal the soil, support farming communities, and create products with unprecedented potency and purity.

    The difference between organic and regenerative organic is striking. It's not just about avoiding pesticides, but about farming practices that enhance soil health, prevent erosion, and create more nutrient-dense plants. Jamie explains how EvanHealy works directly with farmers across the globe. From Morocco to Ghana, creating transparent supply chains that honor both the land and the people who tend it. This approach results in products like their whipped shea butter, which maintains its therapeutic properties through careful processing techniques.

    In this episode, we also unveil Evan Healy's latest innovation - their Irish Sea Moss and Tremella Mushroom Hydrosol Cream - and discuss why their commitment to regenerative practices creates skincare that's not just clean but truly transformative. Whether you're a skincare enthusiast or just beginning your clean beauty journey, you'll gain a deeper understanding of why how your products are grown matters just as much as their ingredient list.

    In today's episode, we're chatting about:

    • The crucial difference between organic and regenerative organic certification

    • Why melting shea butter destroys its therapeutic properties (and what to do instead)

    • How Evan Healy maintains direct relationships with farmers around the world

    • The science behind why regeneratively grown plants create more effective skincare

    • Details about their groundbreaking new hydrosol cream featuring mushroom extracts

  • Is Prop 65 Hurting Clean Brands? What the Just Ingredients Lawsuit Reveals ✨Ep. 114
    May 13 2025

    That cancer warning on your favorite protein powder might actually be proof it's the cleanest option in your pantry. I'm pulling back the curtain on the Just Ingredients lawsuit that's been blowing up your social feeds and covering why it might actually prove they're one of the good guys.

    California's Prop 65 warnings have created a bizarre reality where companies using real, organic ingredients get penalized while synthetic alternatives fly under the radar. As an environmental attorney, I'll break down why Just Ingredients chose to stick with whole foods rather than switch to artificial flavors, even when faced with legal challenges.

    By the end of this episode, you'll be equipped to see through the social media outrage and make truly informed choices about your supplements, staying "informed but not afraid" in this confusing wellness landscape.

    In this episode, we're chatting about:

    • The truth behind California's Proposition 65 warnings and what they actually mean

    • Why whole food supplements might trigger warning labels while synthetic ones don't

    • The difference between naturally occurring trace elements and dangerous contamination

    • How Just Ingredients maintains transparency through rigorous testing protocols (see their press release here)

    • Why I still trust these products for my own family despite the controversy

  • How to Stop a Migraine in its Tracks With Natural Solutions✨ Ep. 113
    May 6 2025

    After 18 years of debilitating migraines, I discovered that synthetic fragrances were the hidden trigger my doctors never mentioned.

    When I recently experienced my first severe migraine in over a decade after returning from Bali, I immediately knew what to do. And guess what? It didn't involve medication that had previously damaged my gut and liver!

    Here's what actually worked for me:

    👉🏻I started with super-hydrating water packed with electrolytes and magnesium

    👉🏻put a drop of peppermint oil on the roof of my mouth (game-changer for nausea!)

    👉🏻diffused M Grain essential oil blend to calm my nervous system.

    👉🏻When that wasn't enough, I grabbed my ice mask, rolled Deep Relief on my hairline, laid on my acupressure mat, and finished with a session of red light therapy. The result? I woke up completely migraine-free with zero brain fog.

    In this episode, I break down exactly what I did to combat my worst migraine in years, why it worked, and how you can create your own holistic migraine toolkit. Whether you're a chronic sufferer or experience occasional headaches, you'll learn practical, natural alternatives to medications that address the root causes rather than just masking symptoms.

    In today's episode, we're chatting about:

    • How synthetic fragrances and other toxins can trigger migraines

    • The power of peppermint essential oil for immediate relief

    • Why specialized tools like ice masks and acupressure mats make a difference

    • How red light therapy reduces inflammation and migraine pain

    • The importance of proper hydration with electrolytes and magnesium
