    Gut Health for Mind, Body, and Skin Wellness

    The gut microbiome has a major impact on both our skin health and overall mind-body health. It includes bacteria, fungi, and microorganisms throughout the gastrointestinal tract that are responsible for breaking down the foods we eat and processing the nutrients that make our bodies function healthily. There are both "good and bad" bacteria that contribute to health or disease within our bodies. Typically, when both types of bacteria are balanced, we are in good shape. But when they become unbalanced (mainly due to diet and lifestyle), various mind/ body ailments can occur. In today's episode, Christina covers gut health for mind, body, and skin health.   Helpful links: Virtual Skincare Consultation Visit Our Website Reserve An Appointment Free Wellness + Beauty Workbook Lifestyle Memberships Follow citron spa on social media: Instagram | Facebook Connect with Christina Allen on social media: Instagram | Facebook

    6 Ways To Keep Your Immune System Strong Year-Round

The holistic approach we take at the spa for overall wellness and skin health tends to affect multiple areas, including immunity.

    4 Ways For Entrepreneurs + High Level Professionals To Prevent Burn Out

    Burnout has a lot to do with the nature of the job but if we are not practicing self-care, the negative emotions, irritability, anger, exhaustion, mood struggles, and anxiety that can come with burnout can worsen. We take these emotions home with us, and our children and families can also be subjected to them. In fact, 47% say burnout negatively affects their relationships.   In my opinion, your career is very important but simply isn't worth sacrificing the well-being of yourself and your family. Studies show that 70% of execs are considering leaving their jobs for positions that support their well-being. This includes a company that offers flexibility in hours worked, provides sufficient time off, and values employee health and wellness. Choosing to prioritize your well-being does not mean you can not be successful in your career. Self-care can fuel professional growth by improving energy levels, positivity, motivation, productivity, and job satisfaction.
