Beyond the Surface: The Pillars of Men’s Well-being

Let me start with the skin. Tired of the soapy sludge that masquerades as men’s shower gel? Formulary 55 offers a more rugged approach to skin care with their Bourbon & Vanilla bar soap. This isn’t your average bar; it’s infused with shea butter to keep your skin smooth and supple, even in the harshest conditions. For those who prefer a more oceanic scent, their Ocean & Oakmoss bar soap is a refreshing alternative. Forget the flimsy drugstore bars that dissolve in a week. These long-lasting soaps offer a touch of luxury, proving that even the most rugged man deserves a little pampering.

The skin, hair, teeth and bones are nourished by the power of green vegetables. I’ve recently discovered this company called 8 Greens. They make several dietary supplements and I recommend their 8 Greens Lemon Lime Super Greens Powder for metabolism, energy and gut health. The ingredients include: spinach, aloe vera, wheat grass, kale, algae, spirulina, chlorella and barley grass. You simply mix one scoop into your smoothie.

Note: They also make 8 Greens Lollipops in tropical citrus. The owner, Dawn Russell, is a working mother and she is dedicated to bringing the best and most interesting ways for men and women to get the powerful nutrition from all greens.

I was at the gym the other day and watched a man working out with one in his mouth. I guess you are never too old to have a healthy lollipop. Check out all of their green-based products here.

I’ve been a fan of Guru Nanda products for several years. This season, I recommend their Coco-Mint Jasmine Toothpaste. It’s created with hydroxyapatite and neem that not only freshen the breath and clean the gums but also helps whiten the tooth enamel.

Prior to brushing with their toothpaste, it is recommended to use the Guru Nanda Oil Pulling Oral Rinse — the awesome flavor is coconut and cinnamon. It’s based on Ayurveda, a 5,000 plus year old holistic health science. Read the instructions on the box before usage and do not ingest it. My dentist noticed a significant improvement. It works.
