Feeling frazzled? Struggling to focus? Clean your space!

Infrared saunas VS steam saunas: which one is better? 🧐
Spending time in a sauna can have similar health benefits to exercise—helping to improve circulation, boost your lymphatic system and can even produce a feeling similar to a “runner’s high”.
While traditional steam saunas are pretty old, infrared saunas are relatively new—and very popular. So should you switch out your standard steam session for an infrared sauna instead? We investigate at the link in bio.

#MICROBIOMEMONDAY Are we more microbial than human? What role do our genetics play in our overall health?
Ever hear people say: "I inherited my thin hair from my Dad" or "My Mum had bad PMS symptoms and I do too"?
We have 150x more microbial genes that human genes. So while our inherited genetics do play a significant role, our ability to influence them is even greater.
By looking after our microbes and feeding them the right nutrients, herbs and probiotics we can unlock our health potential. 💥

Did you know, looking at your phone or being around bright lights in the evening can impact the circadian rhythm and cause melatonin (the sleep hormone) to decrease?
Natural melatonin secretion starts at 9pm, so use this time as a guide to put away devices and dim the lights to help keep your natural body clock regulated.
Still struggling to wind down? Take two capsules of our SUPERGENES™ Sleep Support capsules 30 minutes before bed to relieve restless nights.
Please note: The Beauty Chef SUPERGENES™ are listed medicines. ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE.
We're picky about the ingredients we pack into our formulas, and our SUPERGENES™ range on intensive herbal probiotics are no different. Magnesium stearate is one of the most widely used additives in the supplement world, used as an excipient in capsule manufacturing to lubricate the machine. We have chosen to use rice hulls instead in replacement. Because, sometimes what we leave out is just as important as what we put in!
Please note: The Beauty Chef SUPERGENES™ are listed medicines. ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE.
Eating more fermented foods and increasing your water intake are two simple tips that can make a major difference to the state of your skin. This is because a happy gut = a healthy immune system, healthier bowels, healthier skin and an improved ability to absorb nutrients. While topical products are lovely, incorporating one of our wholefood-based, biofermented formulas into your day will give you a deep, unrivalled glow. x

Heard of inflammaging? Coined by researchers in Italy, 'inflammaging' is a term used to describe the kind of chronic, low-grade inflammation that speeds up our rate of cellular ageing.
As we get older, our ability to provide the optimal environment for our gut microbes to produce anti-inflammatory short-chain fatty acids naturally declines. But many of the effects of inflammaging are preventable with healthy diet and lifestyle choices.
Looking after your gut, practicing safe sun protection and providing your body with the antioxidants and nutritional support it needs are a few ways you can help combat inflammaging. 🥦☀️🫐

Motherhood is powerful and all encompassing. It gives me the strongest feelings of love, compassion, guilt, pride, delight, frustration and happiness as well as creating a strong platform for self-exploration, the practice of unconditional love and the perpetual desire to be the best version of myself for them. Being a mother is both a passion and a job, but it is by far the most rewarding role I've ever had. And while we might not always see eye to eye, we are always heart to heart.
Wishing all of the beautiful mums, grandmothers and mother-figures out there a wonderful Mother's Day. We celebrate you today and everyday for your selfless love, your passion, motivation, care and devotion 💕 Carla x

#INSPIREDBY When was the last time you felt a sense of wonder and awe? Perhaps it was when you met your niece or nephew for the first time, or witnessing a golden sunrise after weeks of rain.
What can that experience teach you about how to spend your time? 💭
In recent years, researchers have linked feeling awe to lower levels of inflammation-inducing proteins called cytokines. So awe doesn’t just make you feel good — it actually improves your health and wellbeing.
