About the Episode:
Michelle books herself a Cosmetic Acupuncture appointment with Dr. Dori and we have the pictures to prove it! Through the years Michelle has looked at clean products, exercise and good diet to keep her skin glowing, but as she begins to round the bend into 50, she is interested in finding out about potentially more invasive procedures without surgery. This non-surgical face lift helps to promote collagen production, lift sagging skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Does it hurt!? Does it work? And why does it work? Not to mention we had an online epiphany as to why managing our emotions and allowing these forces to release through our face is so very important to our overall health. We talk about collagen, the eleven lines, Botox, and robot models, all within the wealth of knowledge Dr. Dori has to bring to our community from Chinese medicine to her naturopathic wisdom.
