Join me this episode at Venus Concept’s WOW event at Brisbane, where I got the chance to talk to the award winning dermatologist Dr Davin Lim to find out his top tip for keeping skin healthy, and the educational lead for Venus Concept who took us around the devices and shared her secrets of keeping her skin so gorgeous.
We also got to hear a presentation from the co-host of Doctors show in the US, Dr Sonia Batra who shared her experience and insights to cosmetic treatments.
At the end of the informative meeting, we’re treated to a magic show, can you spot how the trick is done?
Join me as I bake a healthier guilt free version of pumpkin pie whilst maintaining the delicious authentic taste. Put in comparison, the calories in the whole of this pie is the equivalent to one slice of traditional pumpkin pie.
I opt to leave out the crust which is usually laden with flour, butter and preservatives all contributing to a high and unhealthy calorie intake.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups of pumpkin
½ cup of milk
¼ cup stevia
1tsp ginger (fresh or powder)
1tsp cinnamon
3 eggs
METHOD
- Prepare the oven on fan mode 180 degrees
- Make a pumpkin puree by either roasting the pumpkin or boiling 1cm cubes on the stove until they are soft and can be blended or whisked
- Mix the dry ingredients with the eggs
- Mix in the pumpkin puree once it has cooled down
- Pour in the mixture into a baking tray with a little oil to the base
- Cook for 1hr 25 mins or until a skewer can be put through the middle and comes out clean
- Leave to rest for at least 1 hour (or longer) for optimal taste
- Enjoy
PUMPKIN
Pumpkin is a nutrient dense vegetable, packed with vitamins, fibre and water which are all essential to our health and well being. For more information about the benefits of pumpkin be sure to watch my video on immune boosters found in food.
GINGER
Like peanut butter to jelly, ginger is to pumpkin. The two pair well together and ginger has some great health benefits. It contains vitamin c which helps us to fight off the common cold, it is a great natural anti-nausea remedy as well as an anti-inflammatory for muscles.
Please remember to always eat treats sensibly as part of a full healthy balanced diet and an active lifestyle.
Thanks for watching and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to drop me a line in the comments section below.
Up to 24% permanent fat reduction in just 15 minutes?
Join me as I try a body sculpting device that uses Radio-frequency Energy to heat layers of fat whilst maintaining a comfortable skin temperature to induce permanent fat loss.
TRUSCULPT ID - CUTERA
truSculpt iD treats the entire fat layer, resulting in an average of 24% fat reduction. The hand pieces can cover up to 300cm2 of treatment areas including the abdomen, legs, arms and under chin. The handles are placed onto a plastic sheet overlying the body and no suction is required for the device to work.
Full results are seen at 12 weeks post treatment and individuals may require more than one session. The procedure is suitable for any BMI but must not be used on those who may be pregnant or breast feeding or those with pacemakers. If you are considering treatment, always seek the advice of a medical professional.
SculpSure Fat Melting Treatment | After 3 Months Results Show
In this episode we interview our patient after their SculpSure treatment targeting inner-thigh fat. Giving you first hand experience on what to expect after 3 months and most importantly if the patient would do it again.
During our childhood and adolescence we have a set number of fat cells that remain with us throughout our adult life. It’s the changes in the volume of the fat cell that causes our weight to rise and fall.
The problem is that fat cells are unevenly distributed among our body so while diet and exercise does reduce the size of the cells it doesn’t re-distribute them, leaving you with pockets of hard to shift areas.
This is the foundation that most fat reduction treatments are based on.
FAT HEATING
Stubborn pockets of fat are heated by laser up to 42-47C damaging the integrity of fat cells in the subcutaneous layer.
This form of fat reduction is licensed for areas including the tummy, love handles, back, inner and outer thighs and more recently the under chin area.
SculpSure takes 25 mins and 2 areas can be treated at the same time. It is reported that this method can reduce up to 24% of fat in a given area.
The main side effects that can occur, include a hot sensation which doesn’t burn but can feel pinching or tingling, bruising and firmness is also noted in the area following treatment.
Again, depending on the client 1-2 treatments are recommended with prices from A$600 per treatment. Full effects are to be noticed at 3 months.
CONCLUSION
In the next episode we catch up with our patient 3 months down the line and sit down one on one to find out how the post-treatment went and what results they experienced.
Take care and stay healthy
