Episode Details

Today's guest, Nadine Artemis, is simply an amazing, vibrant being with an extraordinary, voracious curiosity and a brilliant mind for authentic health and wellness. Ultimately, these wonderful attributes coalesced and led to Nadine creating her very own luxury health & beauty company, Living Libations. She is described by Alanis Morissette as “a true-sense visionary," while Aveda founder, Horst Rechelbacher, calls Nadine “a pure flower of creativity.” I can corroborate both of these testimonials after the illuminating conversation I had with Nadine, where we cover an array of fascinating topics from sunlight to essential oils to holistic dentistry to debunking beauty and health product myths and much more!

​​Living Libations is a luxury line of organic wild-crafted non-GMO serums, elixirs, and essential oils for those seeking the purest of the pure botanical natural health/wellness and beauty products on the planet. We discuss many of these products and why Nadine feels so impassioned to create them and the "why" behind what makes them unique and highly sought after.

​​For example, sunscreen theoretically "protects" you from the sun while it is instead laced with toxic chemicals and blocks you from receiving the beneficial, nutritional light from the sun; this is a double whammy with negative health benefits. Nadine would rather advocate for utilizing a product that has zero toxins and, instead, integrates natural elements and well-being substances (i.e. essential oils) that promotes healthy sun exposure while also providing nourishing health advantages; in this case, a double whammy with positive health benefits! She carries this principal forward with face and hair beauty products, arm pit solutions and oral health creations.

​​Nadine is also the author of two books, Renegade Beauty and Holistic Dental Care (links to these books below), as well as a frequent commentator on health and beauty for media outlets and her products have received rave reviews in the New York Times, Goop, New York Magazine, Vogue, InStyle, the Hollywood Reporter and many more. She is a beauty philosopher, aromacologist, and botanical muse. Nadine believes in simplicity and a natural, rhythmic approach -she is a disruptor to the mainstream idea of "wellness" “beauty” and “beauty products.” 

Needless to say, Nadine is a brilliant mind with a whole-hearted, vibrant soul. She is simply a joy to learn from. 

 

As always, learn lots and light up your health!
