Summary

In this special episode of Meathead Hippie, Em highlights two (out of many) of her most favorite clips from The Body Awareness Project Part One: Skin which is all about addressing the root causes of skin issues by looking deeper into our bodies. Lauren Geertsen brings awareness to the body’s “sacred symptoms” and stresses the importance of becoming attuned to the messages that our bodies are trying to send us.

Diane provides a great amount of useful tips on how to get rid of the harmful ingredients that are problematic to our systems by replacing them with ones that will work best for YOU. “If we know that there is something that we can change with our personal care, it is just another step that can prevent ourselves from using harmful products.” www.thebodyawarenessproject.com 1:00 Update On All The Things! 5:00 Lauren Geertsen: Sacred Symptoms 5:10 “Acne is a sacred message to our body” We cannot be fixed with pills The body is doing the best it can with the environment and materials its given 6:10 Learning How to Not Self-Loathe Health challenges are an initiation to our own healing journey It’s not just about acne - acne is only leading us in finding ourselves 8:00 Understanding of the Healing Journey Based on Joseph Campbell’s research Steps on how to become intuitive with your body 16:00 Diane Sanfilippo: Beauty and Skin Care Products 16:30 What We are Putting on Our Skin Your body may have immune responses to environmental toxins How to get rid of the stuff that we know is problematic to our systems 20:55 Examples of Typical Beauty Products that are Harmful Things can be safe on your skin that are not safe to eat How the that we eat is digested and its relation to the skin 28:05 Feeling Better After Switching Products “If we know that there is something that we can change with our personal care, it is just another step that can prevent ourselves from using harmful products.” Even natural ingredients can still give people negative reactions 32:20 Products to Not Live Without Charcoal bar and charcoal mask Oil cleansing/cleansing balm - Good for hydration!

0:00.0	Meathead Hippie episode. This is a little bit of a different podcast. I am right now in the
0:08.1	middle of a full-blown program creation, Body Awareness Project Part 2. And sometimes when
0:15.7	you're in the middle of something that you just cannot wait to put out into the world,
0:19.5	which I really can't. I can't
0:22.4	really think of anything else. So I have these incredible guests that I'm ready to film with
0:27.1	and I want to talk with. And, you know, they're, they all in some way deal with stress or deal
0:33.2	with creation or entrepreneur, which is what body awareness project part two is. It's for

1:19.3	something they need to work on or want to work on if they have acne or any sort of skin issue.
1:25.4	But there's so many gems from that program that maybe somebody that
1:29.3	doesn't have skin issues would still really, really love. And so I pulled two of them. The first
1:34.3	one is Lauren. Lauren Kiertsin. She's incredible. She was a group leader at my NTA training,
