Case StudyWanda B. Young is a 47-year-old

white female who, over the past

ten years:• spent $10,000 on a face lift• spent $5,000 on liposuction• had laser resurfacing at $2,000• had her hair highlighted and conditioned• had her nails done and pedicures weekly

She spares no expense to try and keep her youthful appearance, including all of the most expensive skin care products she can find at department stores .

Still Wanda B. Young struggles.

Despite all she does for the outside she looks in the mirror and still does not have that “healthy youthful glow.”

She seems to lose ground faster than she can make an appointment for a new expensive procedure!

Wanda B. is not Happy

Wanda B. is not HealthyWanda B. is not even trying to be healthy:• She refuses to pay $30.00 a month on a multivitamin• Every Monday she starts the newest fad diet• She smokes on occasion• She consumes alcohol regularly • She views a gym membership as a waste of money• She thinks sodas and chocolate are part of the food pyramid• She never wears a sunscreen and visits the tanning bed weekly.

Wanda B. is CluelessUnfortunately, Wanda B. Young does not know about Pharmanex.

She does not know that nutrition and lifestyle affect beauty, youthfulness, and well-being.She wants to

feel like this.

The skin is the largest organ in the body and is of primary importance to our survival.

It reflects to the outside the state of health on the inside.

In fact, your skin is an outward reflection of your inward commitment to health.

Health is more than Skin Deep

• Body temperature maintenance• Excretion of waste and toxins• Photochemical action promotes

the production of vitamin D• Sensory function, pressure,

texture, temperature and pain• Pigmentation, melanin pigments

develop to protect against UV light damage

• First line of defense to the outside world/pathogens

Healthy Skin = Healthy Living

The skin has many important clinical functions

• The skin reflects the health and nutrition that is put into the body

• All of the outside treatments can not make up for poor nutrition and poor lifestyle choices that affect the inside

• Increase of androgens compared to estrogens cause increased sebum production

• Estrogens are correlated with brown splotches

Genistein Poster Presentation NAMS Convention 2004

• Brazilian University group• Study covered 40

postmenopausal women consuming 40mg/day of genistein for six months

• Biopsies of face were taken before and after

• Participants saw a significant increase in collagen and elastin in facial tissue*
