What is your ancestral glow

Your ancestral glow is when you radiate health and vitality. We call it ancestral because it is inherent in us to feel that way. Our ancestors may have had difficult times, but we believe their connection to nature and to each other provided a baseline of health and happiness.

The further we’ve stepped into concrete jungles, digital connections and soulless mass-production – the more that baseline has been lowered and reduced. It’s time to pick the baseline back up and start thriving.

Holistic approach

The skin is a vital organ and healthy skin is fundamental to feeling the glow. But trying to achieve healthy skin by focusing on the skin alone is a modern approach that won’t restore your natural glow.

The body is a deeply integrated system that needs to be taken care of as a whole.

Prioritize sleep

Sleep is the foundation of feeling healthy and radiant. All of your cells regenerate and repair while you sleep, it is impossible to feel your best if you don’t sleep well.

Prioritize getting adequate amounts of sleep, and try to align your sleep with the circadian rhythm of the Earth.

Get sunlight

Get sunlight in your eyes and on your skin as early as possible in the day. Sunlight enhances mitochondrial function in your cells which has a huge list of glow promoting benefits such as reducing inflammation, accelerating skin cell regeneration, and improving the skin’s ability to heal itself.

Eat ancestrally

Your gut health directly affects your mental health, energy levels, and of course your skin clarity and health.

For an ancestral glow eat an ancestral diet – meat, dairy, honey and fruit are the most nourishing foods while nuts, vegetables and fermented grains can add some variety of taste and experience to the table.

For your skin and overall health’s sake avoid highly processed and refined foods.

Stay hydrated

Staying hydrated is fundamental to the function of every organ in your body. Water is crucial for cellular processes, including repair and regeneration, which are essential for healthy skin.

Staying hydrated also promotes the flushing of toxins that hinder your glow.

To stay hydrated make sure you’re eating well as described above and drink plenty of water with minerals.

Move

The modern sedentary lifestyle is a relatively new thing in human history. Our ancestors definitely did not sit for 8 hours a day.

Getting your blood flowing and building strength are key components to restoring your ancestral glow.

When you’re properly hydrated, exercise also promotes sweating which clears your pores and removes impurities.

Tap into nature

Restoring your ancestral glow means reconnecting to the Earth like your ancestors were. Go for a hike, or a swim in the ocean.

When it comes to the tools you use, utilize what nature has provided.

The health of your skin is an obvious indicator of health and vitality. Nature has provided grass-fed beef fat as a perfectly formulated tool to hydrate and nourish our skin while promoting healing and protection.

There are many other such examples of natural products being superior to the synthetic and harsh chemical laden alternatives that may be currently sapping your glow.

We believe restoring your ancestral glow is extremely important to create the future we all want. If you have any questions about your journey or tallow skincare in general please reach out!
