*Alavida: in addition to its skin benefit, Alavida helps the body produce serotonin. Serotonin with the absence of blue light naturally converts to melatonin for better sleep. Aeon helps the body produce dopamine which helps with boosting mood. If your dopamine and serotonin levels are good or high these patches are not recommended.

*Other patches or patch combination can help you achieve the desired outcome of Alavaida and Aeon.

1. Keep track: make a list of health and wellness concerns you have or have had so that you can track changes. Read important Q&A.

2. Electrolytes: the body synthesizes and balances all health and wellness product better when our electrolytes are in balance. This can be achieved by placing a pinch of gray sea salt under the tongue first thing in the morning and allowing it to dissolve or purchase electrolyte water, especially if you have issues with high sodium.

3. Stay hydrated: drink 4-5 ounces every 30 minutes throughout the day. Avoid chugging when possible.

4. Amino Acids: Amino acids increase energy levels, support better neurological function and slow down the loss of muscle tissue as we age. Some suggested natural sources are: Wheatgrass Juice Powder, Moringa Powder [both include potassium and copper which help the patches work better] coconut or soy aminos.

5. Magnesium Glycinate: at minimum use magnesium glycinate. However, the body need 7 types of magnesium to function optimally. Many physical and emotional concerns can be reduced with a 7 type magnesium supplement. Bio Optimizer magnesium breakthrough is a good example of what to look for. Some brands may have more than 7, that ok too. Shop around. Wait at least 2hr before taking calcium or a multivitamin after taking magnesium.

6. Healthy lifestyle: a heathy diet and moderate exercise is central to wellbeing. I suggest eating for your blood type to make sure you are not continuously consuming foods your body cannot handle digesting even if it is classifieds as healthy.

7. Positive outlook: negative thinking and speaking creates stress for the nervous system and acts as domino effect of unwellness for  the rest of the body. Consider: breath work, meditation, chanting, gratitude or tai chi for 5 minutes a day 1-2 times daily.
