Better collagen production means looking more youthful and vibrant.

When talking about collagen production and helping women get healthier while looking younger, Terry Fox, L.Ac., LMT, is Northern Colorado’s leading expert in Aesthetic and Facial Acupuncture. 

When he was 17, Terry’s mother was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Inspired to relieve her pain, Terry attended the Utah College of Massage Therapy. In 1999, he assisted in the creation of the first hospital-based Massage Therapy program in the state of Wyoming at Ivinson Memorial Hospital in Laramie, WY. Four years later, Terry progressed into Acupuncture and earned his Master’s Degree from the Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In 2006, he moved to Fort Collins, CO and founded Artesian Spring Oriental Medicine. 

Terry has served as Secretary for the Acupuncture Association of Colorado, was voted Best Colorado Acupuncturist 2015 and 2016 according to The Experience Pros radio show. He’s been featured in Northern Colorado Medical and Wellness Magazine and Regenerate magazine. He’s also been a guest on podcasts such as Intimate Conversations with Allana Pratt and A Dr.’s Perspective with Dr. Justin Trosclair. And, he hosts his own podcast, The Get Foxy Show – talking with other experts in Holistic Health, Natural Beauty and Passionate Living. 

By fostering their health and wellbeing, Terry helps women manifest their own inherent beauty and divine femininity – without succumbing to toxins, fillers, or scalpels. He is fostering a rebellion against our current “toxic beauty” culture. Terry believes each patient is a precious child of God and should be treated accordingly. Patients have described him as “knowledgeable, caring, and professional,” and he strives to live up to that description. Patients trust Terry’s expertise, gentle manner, and discerning intuition.

Terry lives in Windsor, CO. When not in the office, he spends time with his wife, two boys, and their pug. In his spare time, he reads sci-fi/fantasy novels, watches anime, and handcrafts liqueurs, cordials, and mead.

Standard Process Supplements for better quality collagen production

Disclaimer: I’m not getting paid to promote Standard Process. I simply like their products and haven’t yet found anything better on the market as of yet.

Daily Essesntials:

Bridges the gap between what you eat and what you need for optimal health. Helps prevent and correct common nutritional deficiencies. This is just basic nutrients that we aren’t getting in the standard American diet.

• Catalyn contains vital nutrients from whole food and other sources. Excellent source of vitamin C, D, vitamin B6, and antioxidant vitamin A. Also Good source of thiamin and riboflavin.
• Trace Minerals-B12  is a spectrum of minerals that support a healthy body. Provides essential cofactors for healthy cell functioning. Provides iodine, which is required for healthy thyroid, spleen, and red blood cell functions. Among other functions, these trace minerals support ligament, cartilage, and bone structure; immune system response function and thyroid function; fat metabolism; and calcium utilization. Excellent source of vitamin B12, iodine, zinc, copper and manganese.
• Tuna Omega-3 Oil provides 300 mg DHA and 60 mg EPA omega-3 fatty acids to support heart, brain, eye, and joint health. Also a has a positive effect on the endocannabinoid system in helping produce anandamide – the bliss hormone.

“Facial Vitality” combo: 

As you look in the mirror, you have a front row ticket to the aging process. You get to see it in either fast-forward or slow motion. The supplements in my Facial Vitality package help put the aging process in slow-mo. 

• Gotu Cola has been shown to support rapid healing of damaged tissue and improve circulation. 
• Cataplex C reduces inflammation and is critical in assembling amino acids for the formation of collagen. 
• RNA (ribonucleic acid) decodes the blue prints found in your DNA, regulates new cell formation, and increases skin health and vitality. Together, these three whole food supplements tell Father Time to back away from your face.

“Collagen Boost” combo: 

Collagen is a key building block for your skin. When your skin is rich with collagen, it’s toned, supple and radiant. As you age, collagen production slows. This makes your skin saggy, fragile, and prone to wrinkles. To prevent this, my Collagen Boost package helps you reduce collagen loss and improve collagen production. 

• Regenaplex – clinical research on this formula shows it can reduce eye and facial wrinkles. 
• Cataplex F helps prevent the sun from frying the collagen in your skin (it’s also pretty helpful for your thyroid function.) 
• Calicifood Wafers Your body can’t make collagen without amino acids. This supplies all 22 amino acids (which includes the 8 essential amino acids) your body needs to form collagen. 
• Cyruta Plus strengthens capillary walls, prevents collagen degeneration, and reduces harm from X-rays. 
• Zypan Collagen can only be digested in the presence of pepsin. So, if you’re taking a collagen supplement or drinking bone broth this is a very helpful supplement. It combines hydrochloric acid, pepsin, and pancreatin to help you get more collagen from your food or collagen powder. Additionally, it can help reduce gas and bloating.

Combine these supplements with a low sugar diet, bone broth, more sleep, Aesthetic Acupuncture, Microneedling, Facial Gua Sha, Massage Therapy and Chinese Herbal Medicine. And your skin will be at celebrity status! 

Standard Process takes their products very seriously. You can only get these products through a trained Health Care professional. Additionally, taking them without professional advice can get you pretty sick. So, I highly recommend talking to your local Health Care professional if you’re interested in these supplements.  

And, if you don’t have anyone in your area that can support you. I’m now offering telemedicine consultations. You can email me at [email protected] and we’ll get one set up for you.

Your purpose is beauty. It’s true!

Mercedes Lyson is the host of the Your Purpose Is Beauty podcast. She’s been making videos on YouTube about eco-beauty and holistic health and lifestyle since 2014. A self-described bifurcated person, she holds a PhD in Sociology from Brown University (’13) and worked as an academic researcher, yet has been on a lifelong quest for discovering, curating, refining, articulating, and presenting an evolving vision of beauty.  Her content spans product reviews and in-depth discussions of brands, makeup tutorials demonstrating products, and alternative health topics like acupuncture, detoxing protocols, homeopathy, herbalism, and energy healing. A researcher at heart, Mercedes strives to provide articulate, thoughtful, and above all honest reviews and discussions.

Mercedes started building a community on Patreon in 2017 as way to support the growth and development of L’Amour. A critic of blogging-turned influencer marketing, Mercedes made a commitment to not present sponsored work or ads on her platform, preferring to maintain a more journalistic approach with integrity in reviewing. Patreon is a way for followers to support independent creatives through monthly donations, while also receiving access to extra and exclusive content. The L’Amour Patreon community attracts warm-hearted independent thinkers and has become a space to delve into topics that are often polarized and “controversial” on mainstream social media platforms, mostly in the realms of alternative health, healing, and spirituality. 

In late 2019, Mercedes launched her latest project – a podcast called Your Purpose is Beauty. An avid podcast listener herself, especially since becoming a new mom in 2018, Mercedes wanted another medium through which to connect with an audience in an accessible way. Your Purpose is Beauty is centered around eco/organic, luxury, and niche beauty product reviews and critique, as well as intellectual discussion about the beauty and alternative health industries. Through interviews with brand founders, beauty professionals, bloggers/influencers, and creatives, the podcast also explores why people have chosen beauty as their profession or passion. 

A true Gemini sun, Mercedes has many other creative interests and outlets that influence her content. She has been an avid house music aficionado for the past 15 years and started djing on vinyl in the mid-2000s, going on to be part of an all-women DJ collective and then a solo DJ from 2010 – 2018 on the East Coast. She is also a student of Hellenistic astrology, specializing in Venus and cultivating a unique astrology of beauty approach in chart readings. More recently she has been returning to her family roots around sustainable agriculture and reforming food systems through a burgeoning interest in Western herbalism and integrating homesteading and traditional foods practices, influenced by Weston A. Price, into her home and family life.  She aspires to speak fluent French, make handcrafted herbal medicines, get weekly acupuncture, and 8 hours of sleep a night (among many other things!).

An accomplished and dedicated member of the U.S. military for 30 years, she has broken barriers and made strides in her career that many said weren’t possible.

The first in her family to attend college, and due to the lack of support at home, she knew she would have to achieve her own goal. With unwavering determination, she enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in the reserves to put herself through school at Alabama A&M University. Both of these choices fueled Trina’s desire to succeed and revealed the depths of her resiliency.

Naturally skilled at finding the harmony between technology, science, and data, she has led a stellar career in the Information Technology field. As an Intelligence Officer in the U.S. Navy and now as the owner of her technology agency, Trina has pierced the glass ceiling and excelled in positions typically held by men.
