If you answer YES to two or more of the following, you need to schedule a Global Journey!

Stress is an insidious trigger for disease according to eminent anti-aging physicians Drs Ronald Klatz & Robert Goldman, co-founders of the world-renowned American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.

According to these experts, and evidence-based studies, people who are unable to relieve daily stress suffer a variety of health consequences, most commonly fatigue, frequent headaches & stomach related upsets.

The emotional response of stress is a function of the release of the hormone cortisol. In times of stress, the adrenal glands atop the kidneys release cortisol. Unfortunately, long-term cortisol release accelerates inflammation & the aging process.

According to these experts, unrestrained cortisol secretion can inhibit immunity, slow protein synthesis (necessary for tissue repair), lead to loss of nerve cells, brain damage, bone loss, muscle wasting, increase in abdominal fat and psychosis, along with premature aging and death, can result. Long-term over secretion of cortisol due to chronic prolonged stress can lead to hypertension & hypoglycaemia, both with deadly consequences.

Spa etiquette tips to help you make the most of your visit to the spa.

• Turn off your cell phone when you arrive.

• Arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment so you have time to check in, change into your robe and slippers, and relax.

• Get there even sooner if the spa has a steam room, sauna or hot tub. It will help relax you before your massage. Shower off the hot tub’s chlorinated water before your spa treatment.

• A hot shower can also relax you before your spa treatment and make it more enjoyable.

• Massage is usually done nude, but you are covered with a sheet at all times in American spas. Only the part being massaged is exposed.
If you’re more comfortable keeping your underwear on, that’s fine. You can also try Thai Massage or reflexology where you stay fully clothed.

• If you schedule two treatments together, get a massage before your facial. A body treatment should go before your massage.

• If you’re uncomfortable with anything during your treatment – the pressure, the music, the temperature -- speak up. The therapist will make an adjustment.

• You can talk during the treatment or stay quiet, as you choose. The therapist will follow your lead.

* If the therapist says, “Take your time getting up,” that usually means a few minutes. It’s not an invitation to take a nap.

• Don’t forget to tip 10%-15% for an enjoyable experience is well worth it. If you were given a gift certificate, ask if the tip was included.
