WHAT IS IT?

Our approach is founded on the principle of ‘lagom,’ a Swedish term signifying balance and equilibrium. We believe that true beauty radiates from within, and to achieve it, one must focus on nurturing the core elements of well-being. Functional nutrition plays a multifaceted role in promoting skin health, extending telomere cell life, and combating the effects of aging. At its core, functional nutrition emphasizes a diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that provide essential nourishment for skin cells. These nutrients help neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress, which can accelerate aging and damage skin cells.

HOW IT WORKS

Functional Nutrition addresses the health of telomeres, the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes. Telomeres naturally shorten with age, but poor nutrition and lifestyle choices can accelerate this process. Functional nutrition, however, focuses on supporting telomere health through a balanced diet that includes omega-3 fatty acids, phytonutrients, and high-quality proteins. This can potentially slow down telomere shortening, contributing to a more youthful cellular lifespan.

Furthermore, functional nutrition takes into account factors like gut health and inflammation. A well-balanced diet that supports a healthy gut microbiome can enhance nutrient absorption and reduce inflammation, which is often linked to skin issues and premature aging. By addressing these underlying factors, functional nutrition provides a holistic approach to anti-aging, promoting not just outward beauty but also overall well-being and longevity.
