We covered a lot of ground in this inspiring interview! Rekishia McMillan, honorably discharged from the Air Force, suffered from PTSD from a horrible military accident, that created anxiety, digestive disorders and chronic fatigue and pain. She went on to discover lifestyle and functional medicine to heal and become vibrant, with a new career! She knows all about transformation!
Like me, Rekishia says, “I believe that it is God’s will for us to feel, look and live better. Somewhere along the way, Christians have disconnected their spirituality from physical health. This was never meant to be the
case. We must get back to the divine blueprint for health. We were created with a spirit, soul and a body and in order to experience optimal health, all three components must be nurtured and cared for.”
Rekishia McMillan has battled with her on personal demons of overcoming illness, doubt, fear and anxiety, some of which stemmed from negative childhood experiences and her military service. She shares her personal health journey and the frustration she experienced with the complexities of the healthcare system. 
Through her journey she discovered simple and natural ways of reversing the illnesses that were plaguing her world. By putting these same strategies to use, she helps women and men to experience vibrant health and renewed energy.
In her book found on Amazon, Rock Your World Naturally: 7 Divine Keys to Unlock Extraordinary Health, Rekishia guides the reader to…
Discover God’s plan for total health (body, soul and spirit)
Crush the cycle of following ineffective fad diets
Experience natural and lasting weight loss
Learn how to become your own personal health advocate
Achieve total alignment for your body soul and spirit
Heighten your awareness of the earth through responsible stewardship Understand the relationship between your blood cells and divine health
Identify and overcome hidden obstacles that are wrecking your world – for good!

Dr Kim tells her journey from being mad at God to seeing miracles in her own life.

And how God shows up in the most unlikely ways in your life. She was told she would be in a wheelchair the rest of her life, and God changed everything.

About Becky:
I'm from Snyder county, Middleburg, PA. Also known as the "middle of nowhere". While I lived there I couldn't wait to leave, but now I enjoy going back. I lived on 15 acres of fields and woods. I grew up hunting and fishing with my dad, riding dirt bike with my brother, skiing with my friends, singing and playing music at church and other events, and the list goes on.
A main characteristic of me is that I'm bald. I have Alopecia Areata Universalis which is an immune system disease that causes hair loss. I've had it since I was 2 years old so I honestly don't mind talking about it. In fact I want you to ask me about it! I wear hairpieces sometimes ( I have 7 different ones), but a lot of times you'll see me without it around Nashville.
I LOVE my family. I have a younger brother and sister and two amazing parents. I love nature. I love music. I love my friends and meeting new people. I love seeing and doing new things, Spelunking, climbing, white water rafting...Im easy going and up for ANYTHING. Don't bring drama my way because I avoid as much of that as possible!
Her goal for her life is to use music, Mary Kay and her faith to engage the world in what Alopecia Areata is and to contribute to finding a cure.

Growing up in a small town in Montana, Candy never dreamed she would be inspiring women everywhere to have freedom and peace in the lives. She tells her story of how owning her own business has made many dreams come true for other women, and in the process her dreams have also come true.
So many women are islands and in Mary Kay they can find their true support system. Not a culture of competition but one of cooperation, continued growth and "if she can, so can I" attitudes!

Dry skin, also known as xerosis or xeroderma, has many causes, including cold or dry weather, sun damage, harsh soaps, and over-bathing.
Unfortunately our age can also cause a decrease in several components in our skin such as collagen, elastin, squalene,
What does your skin do anyway???
We tend to focus on the visible signs of aging, but what does our skin do for us? And what changes with age in terms of functional that will not only lead to aging but also susceptibility of skin diseases/
FUNCTIONS: The functions of the skin include:
Protection against microorganisms, dehydration, ultraviolet light, and mechanical damage; the skin is the first physical barrier that the human body has against the external environment.
Sensation of pain, temperature, touch, and deep pressure starts with the skin.
Mobility: The skin allows smooth movement of the body.
Endocrine activity: The skin initiates the biochemical processes involved in Vitamin D production, which is essential for calcium absorption and normal bone metabolism.
Exocrine activity: This occurs by the release of water, urea, and ammonia. Skin secretes products like sebum, sweat, and pheromones and exerts important immunologic functions by secreting bioactive substances such as cytokines.
Immunity development against pathogens.
Regulation of Temperature. Skin participates in thermal regulation by conserving or releasing heat and helps maintain the body’s water and homeostatic balance.[1][2]
HOW IS IT PUT TOGETHER
Anatomy
The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and contributes to skin tone.
The dermis, found beneath the epidermis, contains connective tissue, hair follicles, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and sweat glands.
The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue like elastic fibers, collagen.

Beef has gotten a bad wrap for a very long time.
Although sirloin and round cuts have only slightly higher amounts of saturated fat than chicken does…Beef has been vilified for a long time.
