In this episode, we discuss Botox and the growing number of women choosing natural alternatives. Botox, or botulinum toxin type A, is a neurotoxic protein used in small doses to treat various medical conditions and to reduce wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing muscles. While millions of people have used Botox, it comes with potential side effects like bruising, headaches, muscle weakness and in some cases, more serious complications such as botulism. Most people are unaware that Botox carries a Black Box Warning issued by the FDA which states that Botox can cause serious side effects, including the potential spread of the toxin from the injection site. This warning is the most serious type issued by the FDA.

Today, nearly 40% of women seeking anti-aging treatments are now exploring natural alternatives to Botox. Gudrun Snyder, a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and founder of Moon Rabbit Acupuncture and a leading expert in cosmetic acupuncture discusses Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture—a holistic, non-invasive alternative that smooths fine lines, firms skin tone, treats acne, and boosts collagen production, all without synthetic injections.

We recently escaped to the majestic Trinity Home Lake Arrowhead in the San Bernardino Mountains—almost 5,000 square feet of pure luxury. Exquisite design, a home theatre, a chef's kitchen, sweeping lake views, cozy fire pits, a cedar hot tub, a sprawling game room, and just a short walk to the charming village of Lake Arrowhead.
