by Jen Springer
Who doesn’t want to bust stress causing anxiety and have glowing skin?
You can do them at the same time!
This all came about a few years ago when I started noticing wrinkles around my eyes, lips, and mouth. Who doesn’t freak out when these start to appear?!? I do want to age gracefully, but not prematurely.
When we “love ourself”, our body secretes a hormone called oxytocin. This little talked about hormone counter acts the cortisol increasing effects of stress. That means when you take a time out of your day to do #3 in my video above, you are helping your body produce this wonderful hormone.
Watch the simple 3 minute and some odd seconds video I recorded for you above. It’s short, simple, and sweet with a guarantee you can create gorgeous glowing skin starting today with Jen’s three secrets.

Chia Seeds and Your Blood Sugar
Chia Seeds and Your Blood Sugar
by Jen Springer
Nutty, filling, hydrating, and blood sugar balancing. Who’d think I was talking about chia seeds?
Every time I hear about chia seeds I think of those terrible commercials from the 80′s, “Cha-Cha-Cha-Chia!”. But these days I’m singing the praise of chia seeds because of it’s health benefits. These little babies should be eaten, not smeared on a cheesy terra cotta animal figurine.
Why I am so pumped about chia?
Other aliases: salba, salvia hispanica.
2 tablespoons contains:
- Extremely high in chromium, 150 mcg! Chromium helps insulin regulation.
- Packed with soluble and insoluble fiber. Soothes the intestines, helps with feeling full, balances blood sugar, absorbs toxins.
- 44o mcg biotin. Biotin helps with glucose regulation. Plus it gives fabulous hair and nails.
- Significant levels of molybdenum, a mineral that escorts toxins from yeast out of the body. We know that with diabetes / insulin resistance comes yeast blooms.
- It would take 990 grams of salmon to get the same amount of Omega 3 as 100 grams of chia!
- No estrogenic effects, no lignans.
- 16 percent protein, 31 percent fat, 44 percent carbohydrate of which 38 percent is fiber.
- Gluten free.
These little seeds kick some serious nutritional butt. True superfood, yes. Plus, they are fun to eat. When added to water they blow up into little round jellies from the soluble fiber. Interesting texture, but very entertaining!
From what I’ve read they don’t need to be ground, but I like to zip zip them in the coffee bean grinder. I’m game for any way to make my food more digestible.
Put them in water, smoothies, on salads, make crackers, or encrust your chicken breast with them. They will pick up any flavor they are paired with because they are neutral.
Inflammation, blood sugar imbalance, irritated bowel, heart disease, and depression … you don’t stand a chance when chia comes to town.
Add 2 tablespoons to your daily regimen and see what happens!

My Candida Yeast Overgrowth Treatment
My Candida Yeast Overgrowth Treatment
by Jen Springer
Dealing with candida is frustrating. The things you need to stop are the things you crave.
Sometimes it feels like punishment more than a cure. Unfortunately, for a person who deals with chronic candida overgrowth these are lifelong changes.
Warning: you may hate me if you keep reading and try these things! (You might not like the changes I list below.)
Want to know the reason uncontrollable yeast? It is there because it can be. Period.
Yeast doesn't grow out of control without reason. Something happened and allowed already present yeast in your system to grow out of control.
The secret to curing candida is to figure out WHY it's there and make your body a place where it can't grow anymore.
You cannot do yeast cleanses and expect them to hold if the underlying cause is not addressed. It will grow back again and again. Most people pimping candida or fungus killing product won't tell you this - but I am here to be frank with you when nobody else will.
The first step to killing off yeast is to stop the nourishing the yeast and make your digestive tract stronger.
What feeds yeast like gasoline on a fire? SUGAR. All forms of sugar. This includes: honey, agave, table sugar, maple syrup, alcohol, fruit sugar, brown rice syrup, etc. What doesn't feed yeast that is sweet? Stevia, plus it's also anti-fungal.
What else feeds yeast? Fermented foodstuffs & drink and refined carbs. Alcohol, vinegars, pickles, and condiments. Some people may find benefit from home made cultured veggies and kombucha, personally it grew my yeast and I couldn't do them until my body was somewhat repaired.
Eliminating refined carbs is the no brainer nobody wants to do: breads, pasta, white rice, potatoes, and any other grain that has been ground up. Some people may be able to do complex carbs like wild rice, sweet potatoes, and quinoa. I could in extreme moderation. If you try it and your symptoms come back, you know it's a culprit.
All other foods you know are allergens must be elimnated to fix allow the intestines to heal. If you're on a budget, get rid of the fab 4 for at least 6 months: gluten/wheat, dairy (casein/whey), soy, corn. The gut can't heal if they keep getting irritated.
If it's in the budget, I highly encourage the ALCAT test for allergies. This identifies all sources of inflammation in one test. I had guessed for years what I was reacting to. One test and I knew for sure.
Now that you've gotten rid of the fuel it's time for the rebuilding process.
My protocol:
1. Life 5 probiotics. If a probiotic doesn't have lactoferrin in it, I won't waste my time. Lactoferrin goes after the yeast roots (rhysomes) and gets them out of the gut lining. Also has billions and billions of super strains of pro-bacteria. I did 3 right before bed on an empty stomach for at least a year!
2. Cleansing Trio. This is a 2-3 week gentle cleanse designed to scrub out yeast, parasites, encrusted intestinal waste, and tone the intestines. (Full Directions Here)
3. Longevity Caps. Yeast killer! I started with 1 in the morning and 1 at lunch. Then I worked up to 2 in the morning and 2 at lunch. I don't do these at night because they may cancel out Life 5's actions.
4. Kolorex extract. 1 cap twice a day with the Longevity caps.
5. Lot's of fresh garlic in my food.
If you like this protocol, print out the super detailed instructions HERE.
Recently I have added one more thing to this protocol. It's a tea that has anti-fungal ingredients. It was designed for weight loss, but I have found it's amazing for controlling yeast and craving. It's called Slique Tea and I drink it all day long because it tastes amazing!
I found out if yeast is killed off too fast, it will come out your skin. Years ago I had made drastic changes in my diet and added yeast killing supplements without doing the Cleansing Trio first. Because my body wasn't eliminating properly, the yeast couldn't leave fast enough and I developed little itchy bumps all over my back. I backed off the yeast killing program a bit, did the cleanse, and increased water. No more problems!
These changes will get you off to a good start. Repairing a yeast damage takes time, months or even years. Be aware of symptoms and what triggers them. Go slow and be patient.

Anxiety Cause: Candida Yeast Overgrowth
Anxiety Cause: Candida Yeast Overgrowth
by Jen Springer
Itchy butt & private parts, wet ears, and red scaly skin.
YUCK, but this is very real and it is a super common cause of fatigue, anxiety, panic attacks, memory loss, foggy thinking, hormone imbalance, flatulence, toenail icks, and skin rashes.
I was so grossed out by the yeast pictures on the internet, I couldn’t even stomach to post one here. (Search Candida and be ready to gag.) So you got a mushroom! Not remotely close to candida except they belong to the same scientific classification of the fungi kingdom. Outside of that they are completely different, most mushrooms are health giving and candida is health robbing.
Most people don’t know candida overgrowth can be a hidden factor to anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. I have had my own personal struggle with candida for years.
I had many of the typical and common candida symptoms such as:
- bloating around the mid section
- itchy and wet ears
- white bumps on the back of my arms and upper legs
- white coating on my tongue
- gas
- inability to lose weight
- anxiety/mood issues
- food allergies
- urinary and vaginal infections
- body inflammation
- brain fog
- fatigue
- insatiable cravings for sugar and breads
- constant dry cough
We are all individuals these symptoms can be the same of different than mine. I even developed asthma at one point! I don’t have asthma! There was so much yeast in my body that it was harbored my lungs too and I would wheeze.
My intestines must have looked like Swiss cheese from the yeast roots taking hold. Candida overgrowth is a major contributing factor to food allergies. Food particles pass through the tiny holes from the yeast (aka: leaky gut) and circulate throughout the body. The body freaks out because it thinks the undigested food is a threat and releases attack chemicals. These chemicals can create feelings of restlessness, anxiety, and even panic attacks.
When the body is full of yeast, the body is at a heightened state and extremely reactive. Emotions run high, hands and fingers wave when someone cuts you off in traffic . Minute amounts of physical exertion create massive inflammation. PMS cramps double you over. Meals result in immediate flatulence, belching, and bloating.

My body didn’t need tranquilizers or the purple pill, it needed the candida killed off.
The October 24, 2011 post I’m going to share my tricks and secrets. If you have any of your own, please share them on the Natural Anxiety Facebook page.

Simple Anxiety Therapy Exercise
Simple Anxiety Therapy Exercise
by Jen Springer
Exercise is an important part of any health and wellness routine.
But sometimes, finding the time, or the place, or the right kind of exercise can cause the very anxiety attacks it’s suppose to help cure.
Here’s a little anxiety therapy exercise you can do anywhere, any time you feel your stress level start to rise:
Take a look around your surroundings. Find and focus on one object that is pleasant to look it. It may be small or large, brightly colored or quiet and dark. If you’re outdoors, for example, it may be a leaf on a bush, or the mailbox on the corner.
Whatever it is, you want to focus all your attention on this object as you inhale and exhale slowly and deeply for one to two minutes. While you are doing this exercise, try not to let any other thoughts or feelings enter your mind. If they do, just return your attention to the object.
At the end of this exercise you will probably feel more peaceful and calmer.
Any tension or nervousness that you were feeling should be diminished. In fact, the more often you do this, the faster and easier it should become to “train” your body to calm itself. What may have taken you five minutes the first time you did this, may only take two after a while.
Try this simple anxiety therapy the next time you feel those unsettling feelings trying to take over your sanity.
