At Clary Collection, we believe that beauty and health are deeply connected. Nourishing your skin with organic, toxin-free products is just one part of the equation. True wellness goes beyond skincare, so we are excited to introduce our Book of the Month: "Good Energy" by Casey Means, MD.

Dr. Means is a Stanford-trained physician and co-founder of the health company Levels, dedicated to metabolic health. In "Good Energy," she dives deep into how our lifestyle choices—especially around food and movement—impact our physical health, mental clarity, energy levels, and overall well-being. It's an empowering read for anyone looking to make lasting, meaningful changes in their life.

Why This Book Matters to Your Skincare Routine

You might be wondering how metabolic health ties into your skincare. The truth is that the foods we eat and the choices we make each day directly affect our skin's appearance and health. Here's how "Good Energy" can enhance your skin and overall wellness:

• Inflammation and Skin Health: Dr. Means explains how certain foods trigger inflammation in the body, leading to skin issues like acne, eczema, and rosacea. Understanding how to reduce systemic inflammation through diet can lead to clearer, calmer skin.

• Empowered Choices for Total Wellness: Just as we encourage our community to choose clean, organic skincare products, "Good Energy" empowers you to make conscious decisions about what you put into your body. Dr. Means provides actionable steps to improve metabolic health, which translates to improved vitality and healthier skin. Incorporating these lifestyle tips alongside a skincare routine featuring products like Clary Collection will maximize your skin's potential for hydration and renewal.

Our Favorite Takeaways from "Good Energy":

Gut Health Connection:

Maintaining a healthy gut microbiome plays a significant role in metabolic health. Eating fermented foods and high-fiber vegetables supports good gut bacteria, which are crucial for energy production and overall wellness.

Sleep and Rest:

Sleep is vital for repairing the body, balancing hormones, and replenishing energy. Dr. Means highlights how good sleep hygiene, including a regular sleep schedule and minimizing screen time before bed, can lead to better metabolic health and clearer skin.

Reduce Inflammation:

Chronic inflammation is linked to numerous health problems, including fatigue, skin issues, and even metabolic diseases. Anti-inflammatory foods such as omega-3-rich fish, berries, and leafy greens, combined with regular physical activity, can help reduce inflammation in the body.
