Thyroid Things You Need To Know
with Janice Novak

If you currently take thyroid medication but are still gaining weight and still have a variety of symptoms, there’s more you need to know. Fatigue, weight gain, depression, anxiety, rising cholesterol levels, inability to focus, thinning hair, digestive problems, abnormal blood pressure, reduced drive, and heart palpitations are only some of the symptoms. We’ll discuss the 5 things that need to be measured, but usually aren’t: why the #1 thyroid replacement may not be helping you; foods that help or hinder; commonly misunderstood rules of how and when to take thyroid meds; environmental triggers and information you need to discuss with your doctor.

Face Yoga
with Janice Novak

There are over 30 individual muscles on each side of your face, all of which can be strengthened and toned, just like arm or leg muscles. Facial exercises can take years off your appearance by reducing frown and forehead lines, reducing ‘puppet mouth’ lines, lifting and firming neckline, making upper and lower cheeks fuller, reducing puffiness and sagging around the eyes, improving circulation and nutrient flow into cells and improving lymph circulation. Learn simple exercises that will rejuvenate your face.
You will need a regular teaspoon for a few of the exercises and a little of your favorite facial moisturizer.
