You may think that you have to brew an entire pitcher of iced tea, but you can actually create unique flavors by the glass and create your own special recipes.Is there anything better than a nice tall glass of fresh-brewed iced tea during the dog days of summer?
You may think that you have to brew an entire pitcher of iced tea, but you can actually inspire unique flavors by the glass and create your own special recipes.
Cindi Bigelow, third generation President and CEO of family-owned Bigelow Tea, has the following suggestions: take two tea bags (don't have to be the same flavor). Fill cup with boiling water. Steep for a few minutes. Pour over ice.
Brewing by the glass provides for high levels of antioxidants because the tea hasn't had time to oxidize, unlike most teas that are brewed in large batches and "sit around."
Cindi also shares information about the Bigelow Tea Community Challenge (BTCC) which is held each year at the end of September to raise money for a variety of charities.

Consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about the foods they buy and eat.Consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about the foods they buy and eat. Not just in terms of traditional "food safety," but also what kinds of ingredients are being used, where the food came from, how it was raised, and where it's shipped from.
FoodLogiQ was founded in 2006 with a mission to create a platform with food chain-wide traceability; not just one forward and one back, but at every stop from the fields to the tables of end consumers.
This end-to-end traceability will help to expedite food recalls and protect the health and safety of the public.
Today, the company is using the web to bring its vision to life through the FoodLogiQ Connect platform. Connect, as its name implies, connects food suppliers to each component of the food supply chain. While this platform is currently strictly a B2B service, FoodLogiQ encourages suppliers to pass along relevant information to consumers.
Katy Jones, VP of Marketing at FoodLogiQ, joins host Andrea Donsky to explain more about what the company does to preserve food safety and how this protection trickles down to the consumer sphere.

Top 5 Self-Care Tips for Getting Glowing Summer Skin Aug 03, 2016

Your skin needs extra attention, especially during the summer when more of it is exposed and is susceptible to the sun’s damaging rays.According to the American Academy of Dermatology, skin is the body’s largest and fastest growing organ.
For this reason alone, it’s a good idea to give your skin some extra attention, especially during the summer when more of it is often exposed and it is susceptible to the sun’s damaging rays.
The good news is that there are a lot of simple things we can do to help keep our skin healthy, glowing and youthful looking all summer long.
It’s a good idea to see an esthetician regularly so that the skin can be cared for in terms of preventing dryness, dehydration, acne, and hyper-pigmentation. Here are five tips for having glowing summer skin:
1) Waxing. Getting waxed is an important part of summer, but it’s a job you can’t trust to just anyone. Bad wax jobs can leave skin irritated, red, sore and in some extreme cases scared. It’s important to have it professionally waxed at a place that specializes in waxing, so that the pain is minimal and when they are done the area is baby skin smooth. This goes for all types of summer waxing, including facial, legs, bikini area, and beyond.
2) Tanning. Having a tan is synonymous with summer, but according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 40 to 50 percent of all adults who reach the age of 65 will have had some type of skin cancer. It’s crucial to protect skin from the sun’s rays. You can still have a summer tan, but it’s better to get it the healthy way, such as a spray-on tan option. When outside, use sunscreen and wear a hat to shade your face from the sun even when it’s cloudy.
3) Hydrating. Adequate hydration is necessary for healthy skin, according to the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinical Authority. They report that not getting enough water can make skin dry, tight, and flaky. Aim for eight glasses of water per day, which will keep it hydrated and help remove toxins from the body.
4) Eating. What you eat has a role to play in how healthy your skin is. According to a research study in the journal Dermato-Endocrinology, fruit and vegetable consumption may represent the most healthy and safe method in order to maintain balanced and youthful appearing skin. Get plenty of antioxidant-loaded fruits and veggies into your diet.
5) Exfoliating. This is a good way to keep up on taking care of your skin, as it removes the old dead skin cells and can keep your skin glowing. You can do this at home, or you can have it done by getting facials, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion.
Listen in as Katherine Goldman, Owner of Stript Wax Bar, joins host Andrea Donsky to discuss her five top tips for getting glowing summer skin.

Heal Your Gut by Restoring Good Bacteria For Ultimate Self-Care Aug 03, 2016

Show notes

Restoring good gut bacteria and gut communication can strengthen tight junctions, repair immune function, reverse fatigue, and reclaim mental clarity.None of the nutrients you're ingesting are available to your body without the help of bacteria. While the bacteria are digesting your food, they're also "talking" to the other cells in your body.
However, with each passing generation, there is less and less bacterial diversity.
Microbiome balance and tight junction integrity are widely recognized to constitute a major portion of the human immune system. These factors directly affect DNA transcription of human cells to promote optimal health and prevent a leaky gut, improving gut intelligence.
In lab experiments, toxins like herbicides and gluten have been shown to degrade the gut barrier. A growing number of manufactured and naturally occurring elements in processed foods and mono-crop farming are being implicated in tight junction damage.
Dr. Zach Bush is co-founder and CEO of Restore, a scientifically proven dietary supplement to enhance your gut health so good gut bacteria can flourish.
Dr. Bush uses Restore in his clinic, Revolution Health Center, and has seen clinically significant improvements in patients with leaky gut syndrome, gluten intolerance, autism, type-2 diabetes, and autoimmune conditions such as Crohn’s disease, and irritable bowel syndrome.
Listen in as Dr. Bush joins host Andrea Donsky to explain why gut bacteria are crucial for overall health, as well as why Restore might be a good option for you.

As epic as these events are, they are part of the human experience. If you don't learn how to navigate traumatic events, you won't be able to navigate life.
There's nothing dysfunctional about crying when you're sad or in pain. You need to give yourself the permission to mourn and process.
Death used to be less peripheral to people's lives. Now, we keep it at bay. Life has seasons, one of them being death, another being loss. You can't say "I don't want winter anymore." Life transitions will happen. It's how you react to and embrace those transitions that will determine the direction in which your life turns.
