Calling all bakers!! I've got a great company for flour for you!

This is Mandie and I'm always looking for the best quality foods and ingredients that I can - and I really love it when I can find local options.

I want to share a local mill that sells organic and heirloom grains/flours - Janie's Mill. They are located in Ashkum, IL - about 90 minutes south of Yorkville. I'll share the link in the comments. They carry may different varieties of organic wheat as well as rye, buckwheat, corn, and oats.

While they carry a few gluten free grains, please note that they are not a certified gluten free facility and may not be suitable for those with celiac disease.

CMR does not have any affiliation with this company. We simply love to share companies and products that we think our patients would love and benefit from.

Do you have other local baking resources you love? List them below and share the love - especially as the holiday season comes upon us.

I get asked frequently how laser hair removal works, why do treatments have to be so spaced apart and what to expect between appointments.

In order to understand how laser hair removal works, we first need to understand the hair growth cycle!

Because hair follicles are in different phases at any given time, a single Diolaze XL laser hair removal session can only treat the hairs that are currently in the anagen phase.

Subsequent sessions are scheduled to target hairs that have since entered the anagen phase. This is why treatments are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

A full course of treatments is designed to disable all of the hair follicles in an area so they cannot produce hair anymore. Typically this is approximately 6 treatments total, but may be more or less than that.

Fall is a perfect time to start laser hair removal! If you start now, you can get all 6 sessions in by May- just in time for shorts and bikini season!

Happy Friday! It's Mandie with a recap of our trip to Orthomolecular.

We had an amazing visit! While I can't share any pictures with you, trust me when I say their facility is very impressive. They proved what we already knew - that they are a company that values integrity, ethics, quality and efficacy. They have similar values to CMR. To quote Jori "If you do the right thing, for the right reasons, with the right people - good things will happen."

During our tour, we were able to see how much testing and quality assurance goes into their products. The products are tested at multiple phases of manufacture as well as testing the third party labs they use. They hold themselves to a higher standard than what is required by law and ensure every batch has in it what the label says it does. The staff are encouraged to bring any concerns about the products to light and make sure it is addressed. And if a product doesn't meet their standards, it will not be shipped out to customers.

We were also able to see that they value their staff and recognize the hard work they do. In an age where so many people feel like a number at their job, it was great to see that the Orthomolecular administration knew their staff by name and genuinely cares.

We are proud to offer Orthomolecular products to our patients.

Hi guys! Nurse Randi here!

Nurse Mandie did a great job highlighting some of our newest supplements the other day, but I wanted to provide a bit of a deep dive into Serene Skin!

Being able to attack acne and other skin conditions from multiple angles will always give us the best results and one of the wonderful and unique things about us here at CMR Healthgroup is that we have the ability to do so all under one roof!

The skin- like the gut, has a unique bacterial community- its own microbiome.

Probiotic supplements can help improve the skin’s natural microbial balance by supporting the health of the gut microbiome.

The gut-skin axis is your body’s hidden beauty connection, linking a thriving gut microbiome to a radiant complexion. Science shows that a balanced gut can be game-changing supporting clearer, more vibrant skin by harmonizing your microbial communities and regulating immune and inflammatory functions. A glow that starts from within!

Ingredients:
-Probiotic Blend: regulates inflammatory responses, suppresses nonbeneficial bacteria
-Golden Tomato Carotenoids: activate skins defenses against UV and environmental stressors, maintains healthy barrier strength and structure, promotes elasticity, firmness, hydration, tone and overall appearance.
-Citrus Polyphenol Extract: promotes short-chain fatty acid production, promotes optimal skin pH, skin barrier health and balanced inflammatory responses.
-Vitamin K2: supports healthy blood flow and tissue repair, promotes elasticity and firmness, promotes balanced inflammatory responses

BUDGET VS BOUGIE- SKINCARE EDITION: Where should you splurge and where can you save?

Look, I get it, skincare is EXPENSIVE. But as with most things, you get what you pay for. Here is my list of products you can save on and which products I truly believe it is important to splurge for and WHY.

Budget:
Cleanser: It’s on your skin for 30 seconds. As long as it’s gentle and doesn’t strip your barrier, budget is fine!
Toner: Usually functions to slightly hydrate and balance PH, as long as the rest of your routine is solid, no need to splurge on one with crazy active concentrations.
Moisturizer: There are some great drugstore options for moisturization, again, no need for fancy actives here as long as the rest of your routine is solid. Some more expensive brands may FEEL more luxurious though.
Mineral SPF: The best sunscreen is the one you’ll actually wear so focus here on texture and how it makes your skin feel/look vs price tag.

Bougie:
Vitamin C: Stability + potency matter. Cheap formulas oxidize fast, so go medical-grade if you want that real glow and collagen boost.
Exosomes: Quality control and delivery systems make or break how well these products work, so splurge only on the legit stuff.
Retinol: Drugstore retinols often irritate or underperform. Medical-grade has encapsulation + controlled release for optimal results
Exfoliants: Precision matters. Professionally formulated acids give you refined texture and glow — not barrier damage and flakiness.

What are YOUR favorite products to splurge on? Tell me below 😊
