I’ve been chatting with several clients about this lately, about whether it’s really necessary for people without an allergy or sensitivity to go gluten-free. I think so for a few reasons: it’s a highly inflammatory, it’s hard to breakdown and therefore hard on our intestinal lining, it’s too easy to overconsume (along with all grain products), and there is no nutritional need for it.
My goal with getting more people to reduce or eliminate gluten isn’t just to switch all of your wheat products over to gluten-free brands. The goal is to get you to switch over to a predominately whole food and nutrient dense diet. The goal is to reduce or eliminate ALL inflammatory foods from your diet and replace with more vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and quality protein for improved overall health. While there are plenty of gluten-free options nowadays, literally you can find any of your beloved wheat products in a gluten-free option, ideally you would be eating those occasionally and not relying on them daily. Gluten-free products are less inflammatory but actually have a greater impact on your blood sugar, so they still affect your energy, and promote overconsumption. It’s hard to overeat broccoli but not so hard to overeat GF pizza or GF cookies. Recap: More whole foods=less processed foods. Reduced inflammation= better health, better brain function, and less pain and less skin issues. A healthy gut= better digestion, better nutrient absorption, better health, better mood, better energy, better hormone balance.

Helps with: acne, psoriasis, eczema, keratosis pilaris, rosacea, redness, and diaper rash.
How to use: use daily, every other day, or 2-3 days per week, on areas of concern How is this different than any other charcoal product: Beautycounter has a mission of providing safer products with an intensive selection process to formulate the highest quality products with the highest quality ingredients. How it works: Binchotan charcoal powder from the Japanese Ubame oak has increased absorption properties to draw out impurities from the skin. Charcoal can hold up to 100 times it’s weight in impurities. It has bacteria fighting properties due to the coconut oil, witch hazel, and green tea. The essential oils help restore hydration for a smoother + brighter complexion. Cost: $24 *last from 4-8 months, depending on how often you use. I don’t recommend using this as a body soap but just for specific areas, like face or areas on body that are prone to acne, redness, or other skin issues How to order: Wwww.beautycounter.com/chloedavenport Go to “skincare”, then “cleansers”
