  • How a Doula Can Transform the Birthing Process with Ambrosia Meikle

    How a Doula Can Transform the Birthing Process with Ambrosia Meikle
    Sep 19 2023

    When a woman becomes pregnant, there is an extensive list of questions that follow: what can I eat, what movement can I do, what kind of delivery do I want, with who, where, will I breastfeed or use formula… The list is longer than the pregnancy. This is where a doula comes into the picture of pregnancy and post-partum. You don’t even have to be pregnant to enlist a doula’s support. 

    A doula’s job is to help make your entire birth experience, and your partner’s experience, the best it can be. There is so much miscommunication about the role of a doula. To clear it up and answer common pregnancy and birthing questions is Ambrosia Meikle. 

    Ambrosia Meikle is a birth and postpartum doula in southern California. She is a childbirth educator, lactation educator, and student midwife. Ambrosia was a surrogate and has two children of her own ages 9 and 15. As a doula, her main focus is to ensure birthing people have options and safe birthing environments. Ambrosia is passionate about serving her community and actively participates in bringing awareness to women's health issues.

  • Jump On this Celebrity Workout with The Ness Fitness

    Jump On this Celebrity Workout with The Ness Fitness
    Sep 5 2023

    This show isn’t about following new wellness trends, but if there was one to JUMP on it would be this - rebounding! It’s a workout that basically takes you back to your childhood of jumping on a trampoline. As it turns out, the trampoline is good for our health and celebrities like Madonna, Goldie Hawn, Gwyneth Paltrow, Gisele Bundchen, Tony Robbins, and Miranda Kerr are big fans. 

    The top leaders in rebounding, Colette Dong & Aly Giampolo from The Ness Fitness join the show to explain its benefits. The Ness is a dance-based, movement focused fitness method that offers workouts both on and off the trampoline. At its New York City studio and on its international digital platform, the Ness’ dynamic, addicting and ever-evolving bounce classes will amplify your cardio routine with a hefty dose of joy, mental stamina and sensory awareness. Bouncing is easy on your joints but still provides a high-adrenaline, heart-pumping workout, with added benefits including lymphatic drainage and pelvic floor strength. Complemented by full-body sculpt classes, you’ll always leave the ness as the buzzing foremost version of yourself. 

    Colette Dong is a movement addict with multiple degrees in dance performance and exercise science. After pioneering the Dance Science department at Elon University, she went on to work in the research department at the Harkness Center for Dance Injuries. Prior to founding the ness, Colette gained experience in the fitness industry as trainer and operations director for several boutique studios across NYC.

    Aly Giampolo graduated from Westminster College of the Arts with a BA in dance performance, concentrating in teaching and pedagogy. While obtaining her degree, she performed and choreographed with Afro-house company Vissi Dance Theater with works showcased throughout the United States, Italy, Jamaica, and Japan. Prior to founding the ness, she began her fitness journey teaching at top boutique studios in NYC and has since amassed a cult following as a celebrity trainer with clients such as Eva Longoria and Sophia Bush. Aly holds a NASM fitness training certification, along with a pre + postnatal pilates certification.

    If your home workouts are starting to feel stale and you are ready for a workout that makes you feel carefree and exhilarated? Then let’s JUMP on in!

    In this episode Collette shares:

    • 3:17 how she started rebounding and why it complimented her dance training 

    • 5:20 benefits of rebounding including working the core and balance 

    • 7:00 why it’s really effective for one piece of equipment

    • 8:00 how it’s benefits are similar to running without the joint impact

    • 10:00 what newbies need to know about rebounding

    • 11:00 why it’s all about bouncing down not high

    • 13:15 perfect alternative to people scared of dance

    • 15:12 whether or not you can rebound while pregnant

    • 17:45 her food philosophy

    • 19:00 how a good workout can influence better food choices

  • The Laser Revolutionizing At-Home Skincare with Lucy Goff

    The Laser Revolutionizing At-Home Skincare with Lucy Goff
    Aug 22 2023
    We want to look good and feel good, but can’t always afford the in-office anti-aging treatments. Luckily, daily at-home tools are becoming more powerful, affordable and equally effective as some professional treatments. From LED masks to micro current machines it’s available at home except one new innovation is causing quite a stir. It’s a brand called Lyma Life. They debuted with a medical grade supplement engineered to have your body look and feel its best. Users have reported a ‘profound difference’ in their hair, skin, nails and more.  Now they’ve added an at-home laser bringing something wholly unique to the beauty tech space. The Lyma laser promises all the power of a medical-grade laser (improved skin texture, reduced redness, and fewer fine lines) without any downtime, pain, or side effects. Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, and Kate Hudson have all been cited as huge fans of Lyma laser with a pre-launch record breaking wait-list of 10,000! Lucy Goff, Lyma founder, spent six weeks in the hospital battling septicemia in 2012. After months of consulting with several leading physicians, a chance meeting with the world renowned pharmacy nutritionist Dr. Paul Clayton changed the course of her life and subsequently the course of the wellness industry. Lucy not only felt better but she uncovered the truth about the supplement industry, that almost all supplements sold today deliver no provable benefits. Lucy left her career in journalism and public relations to set out to change people’s lives with the creation of The LYMA Supplement. When it launched in 2018 the supplement sold out and garnered high-profile and celebrity clientele, with the product described as “Miracle Pills” by Vogue and “a massive scientific breakthrough” by the Telegraph. LYMA now exists to give everyone the advantage with proven products, based on proven science and breakthrough technology.  Lyma founder, Lucy Goff, breaks down the science of her supermodel supplement and laser device spearheading the beauty tech boom: 5:15 personal health struggle after her daughter's birth 7:00 story of chance meeting Dr. Paul Clayton  10:20 the problem with mass produced supplements 11:15 why menopause supplements don’t solve everything 12:00 inflammation is the core health problem  13:00 Lucy had a son at 50 she’s that healthy 13:45 why our body’s not meant to handle the pace of today’s technology 14:40 why it’s important to take a peer reviewed supplement 15:30 difference between Lyma and general market supplements 16:30 how one patented supplement formula works 17:30 the misconception about keratin products for hair and nails 18:23 supplement ingredient benefits explained 19:55 a better ingredient than CBD 21:15 how long to see results with the supplement 22:00 why you need try it for 12 weeks 24:30 Christine's experience with at home laser 25:30 how the Lyma laser came to market  27:00 laser light vs. LED light 28:00 Benefits of the Lyma laser 29:15 why the Lyma laser is unique  30:20 difference between in-office lasers vs. Lyma  32:45 lasers depend on your goal for skin, pigmentation and age 35:00 downside to microcurrent, just puts energy into your skin 36:15 Lucy’s skin looks like it’s 30 and no plastic surgery 37:00 Christine’s results with the laser 38:00 why oxygen facials don’t really work 39:20 skincare that goes with the laser 40:30 how the Lyma laser works with everything 41:00 importance of oxygen for our skin 44:00 what sets Lyma apart from the rest   Connect with Lyma @lymalife Shop the products www.lyma.life/us/    Connect with Christine Instagram https://www.instagram.com/christinebullock/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ChristineBullockFitness Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/chrissybullock/_created/ Text Christine 1-310-361-8697   Sponsored by Kayo Body Care Kayo Body Care was the first to create Face Grade Body Care® products.
