Uzzi Reiss, M.D.

Uzzi Reiss, M.D.
Gynecology, Obstetrics, Author


From the very start of his clinical practice twenty years ago, Uzzi Reiss' objective has been to help patients correct lifestyle mistakes from the past, overcome symptoms in the present, and move forward to a healthier future.

He accomplishes this with individualized programs of natural hormones, nutrition and mind/body principles. In the early 1980s he began adopting innovative 'alternative' methods in his obstetrical-gynecological practice. He soon found that the approach gave patients powerful options with which to maximize health while minimizing the need for pharmaceuticals and surgery.

Dr. Reiss' publication includes "How to Make a New Mother Happy" (May 2004), "How to Make a Pregnant Woman Happy" (September 2003), "Natural Hormone Balance for Women" (2001) and more.

I'm a wife and mom first. Sister & daughter second, and author, model, makeup artist third. I make makeup and skincare that I absolutely LOVE! I am lucky to be able to have my passion be a source of income and inspiration. My children are 6yrs & 3.5 yrs. They are 2 great little girls! I'm not super organized, they call me the 'white tornado' cuz I'm clean, yet messy all at once! I love my family to an extreme! I have 2 awesome brothers and a sister that everyone in the world should have! My parents are amazing- so weird that we all just want to be together...maybe because we live far apart! I have great friends, so different, yet so cool. I'm a work in progress. I want to be a better Mom, more patient sometimes. I want to be a better citizen in our world, so my girls have a clean place to be adults. I recycle...constantly. I wish we all did more research and didn't let people with greedy motives rule our lives....that's my biggest issue- that we don't follow....we need more leaders with better intentions.... We listen to anyone that's flashy and has the loot to do massive advertising campaigns...just a bunch of sheep. That's what I would change.

Koeppe KOEPPE

PRENATAL/POST PARTUM YOGA
One of the most potent and remarkable journeys a woman can engage in is being pregnant. Having the feeling of life growing inside, the mother is profoundly aware of the complexity of nature and the astuteness of her body. Using Yoga to draw the mind deep into the body to explore and connect with the subtle sensations of energy flow has the effect of opening the inner organs and awakening the inborn wisdom of the body. This is where the true nature of Yoga (integration) begins.

The emotional and physiological transformations occurring during pregnancy are potent. Pregnancy calls on a woman to relinquish her expectations of how things should be and reminds her to care for her own and her child's wellbeing. Karen and Lauren Koeppe together with Fresh Mommy, partner to bring increased awareness of good nutrition and sensible exercise.

They offer a place where the body, mind, and spirit are thus treated and brought to a state of integral harmony. Where the mother can recognize, liberate, and breakthrough to a deeper calmer relationship with her true Self and the world around. The outcome is beauty, grace, joy, focus, and reaching a true state of relaxation.

RESTORATIVE YOGA
Over extended, under-rested and generally stressed? Restorative yoga offers something as soothing as a good night's sleep - an easily accessible, deeply relaxing Yoga Program that essentially performs itself. All you have to do is "show up". Come and find stillness. Come to a sanctuary of safety and peace, a place to cast aside your cares and replenish yourself. It's a state of mind as well as a place. Create this sanctuary by finding your calm center and nurturing yourself with asanas (postures) that release trapped energy in blockages in your muscles. Then begin learning to use that energy to maintain your serenity and vitality. Visit www.koeppe-consciousawareness.com

Belly Bandit
Belly Bandit

Put away the spurs, girls, they won't be needed!

The Belly Bandit is an abdominal compression wrap designed to help you get your body back to its former fabulousness post childbirth.

Not only does the Belly Bandit help reduce uncomfortable uterine swelling, it aids in decreasing bloating caused by water retention, and gives additional support for Mommy's weary legs & back. For you breastfeeding moms, there's a bonus. The Belly Bandit will help you with your posture during feedings, and may help to reduce the all too common back & shoulder pain associated with breastfeeding.

What about stretch marks? Although everybody knows what can cause them ie: stomach growth and the stretching of skin, we really have never thought about the post period and what may be another factor. The excess skin that is pulled and stretched after birth may continue to cause unslightly markings by "hanging around." Greater support of this loose skin may actually decrease tension which in turn may decrease stretch marks in the post period.

Dr. Jay Goldberg, Beverly Hills Top OBGYN, says "I recommend the Belly Bandit to any patient in the postpartum period, whether recovering from a vaginal delivery or a c-section. The Belly Bandit abdominal wrap encourages better posture, abdominal support, and self-confidence. I'm on board."

The Belly Bandit belly wrap has new moms everywhere - including top celebrity mommies - talking and slimming down. Some of the Hot Hollywood Mommies that have the Belly Bandit include: Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Jessica Alba, Tori Spelling, Busy Phillips and Jamie Lynn Spears. Whether you're a celeb or a diva of the home, the Belly Bandit will aid in getting you back to your pre-pregnancy hotness faster than ever!

The adjustable Belly Bandit Collection comes in fives sizes and three signature styles - Original for the stylish mom, (SRP $39.95) Couture for the chic mom, (SRP $49.95) and Bamboo for the eco-friendly mom (SRP $59.95).
