Lauryn's Rotation: Everything She's Doing Right Now To Look Better, Feel Better & Optimize Her Life

0:01Welcome to the Bosticks, starring Lauryn Bosstick and Michael Bosstick. Together, they are the Bosticks.

0:14Lauryn Bosstick:I am doing a little episode on what is currently in rotation. These are things that not only I'm loving, but they're things that I keep coming back to over and over again. And I haven't done this in a hot minute, so I thought that this would be like a proper catch-up to get you all updated on things that I just keep coming back to, okay? We're going to kick that off with Brazilian lymphatic drainage. It has to be Brazilian lymphatic, okay? There is a technique that is just different. I have tried lymphatic drainage in Hong Kong. I've tried it in America. I've tried it in France I've tried it in so many different places and the Brazilians just know what's up with lymphatic drainage so I have a girl who I have seen forever you guys can follow her Instagram and she'll give you all the tricks of the trade and her name is Josie she's actually been on the show before and in my opinion she is the creme de la creme of lymphatic drainage so initially when I started to kick this back up into gear, I went in for some body sculpting.

1:25Lauryn Bosstick:You know this if you follow me on Instagram stories and to get my boobs done post-nursing. The boobs post-nursing were looking like socks. It was not the vibe. I want to feel hot. I'm a mom of three. I have been pregnant obviously three times. I've gained 50 to 60 pounds every single time. So I went and did something for myself and it was a home run. I got to tell you, they're looking like a masterpiece from socks to masterpiece. I went with Motiva implants just as a caveat. And apparently they're supposed to be better than regular implants. They just got approved by the FDA. Obviously go do your own research on this.

2:12Lauryn Bosstick:I did mine. But that's how I got hooked on Brazilian lymphatic again. So I already had had a whole moment with it where I was doing it all the time, probably once a month. And then I just sort of stopped and now I'm back on it. Okay. And I'm doing it as much as I can. I bought a massage table and I have a setup in my office where I'll take calls and get Brazilian lymphatic. It's magical. I think it de-puffs you. It makes you feel tighter, less bloated. I think it's really great if you've had any kind of procedure because it helps with skin. If you have experienced stretch marks during pregnancy, it's great for that.

2:50Lauryn Bosstick:I think it's good for scars. I really think it does it all. And so much so that I was talking with Josie, who's incredible. And I said, why don't Americans do this more often? And she says she can't believe that it's not a thing here like it is in Brazil. In Brazil, the women are going in once a week for their weekly lymphatic. So it just has a lot of benefits to for circulation and immunity. It's incredible. Again, go look into it. But if you have someone who can do the Brazilian lymphatic technique on you, it is a 10 out of 10. I love it. I literally feel like I lose 10 pounds of water weight after I do it.

3:29Lauryn Bosstick:So I will be doing that before any trip that I go on. And I'm going to try to stick with it once a month for all of the other magical benefits. Which brings me to my next thing that this is this is weird. Let me tell you about tongue posture. This has become something that's so interesting to me. The way you place your tongue in your mouth matters. And I had a myofunctional therapist on the show and someone who specializes in this who's a child's pediatric dentist. And she was saying that you want your tongue to be on the top of your mouth. Emily's like, what? You want your tongue to be on the top of your mouth, not pressing up super hard on the palate, but almost like a magnet clicking in.

4:17Lauryn Bosstick:So if you want to do that with me right now, you just put your tongue, you relax it and you press it up. And that's where your tongue should be resting at all times. Okay. So I found this out and funny enough, mouth taping has really helped me with this because when I take my mouth shut every night with the skinny confidential mouth tape, do not miss a night in Navy right now. The Navy one is the one. I have been practicing while mouth taping where I'm placing my tongue. And it sounds almost stupid to say tongue posture, but look into it, you guys. Better sleep. You're going to have better facial alignment.

4:57Lauryn Bosstick:Swear to God, go look it up. Airway support. And it's going to naturally widen your palate, which you want to just breathe better in general. So I actually have my kids, all three of them, I know that sounds crazy, working with a myofunctional therapist. They're so amazing, like 10 out of 10. And one of the main things they're working on is tongue posture, where you place your tongue and it affects your entire body. So I've become fascinated with this subject. And when I become fascinated with such a niche subject like this, I really dive in. So I've bought all the books on it. I've been reading about it.

5:34Lauryn Bosstick:I want to interview an expert on it. And I think it's a really smart thing to look into if you feel like your tongue is almost slacking in your mouth. If your tongue is not on your palate right now, look into it. It's really kind of cool. Okay, next, chicken. I know I do beef bowls. Everyone knows this. I love a beef bowl. I'm a huge steak fanatic. I love a grass-fed, grass-finished steak. I do it a lot. My baby eats like the bone. He'll take the bone and eat it, which is also really good for your facial structure to take a bone and chew it. I swear that's a tip from the myofunctional doctor. She said, take a bone for your baby and let him chew on it.

6:16Lauryn Bosstick:He also could chew on a pineapple rind or a watermelon rind. She literally said to let him chew on it. That's like a side note. Anyway, I was told by Sandy Brockman, my trainer, that I also need to incorporate chicken for protein. So I've been doing chicken, which is really fucking boring. It's really boring. you know it's plain Jane Sarah plain and tall um but I put green salsa on it I get it from Moose Farms at the farmer's market it's so good I put it all over my eggs too but this green sauce with chicken and a little sour cream and some hot sauce I mean truly it's so good try it you just need a good green salsa, some chicken, hot sauce, sour cream, and you've got all your protein.

7:05Lauryn Bosstick:That's a full meal. So I'm doing chicken too, which is new for me. Okay. That's been in rotation. The next thing is, has everyone tried this and I'm last to the party, but paint by numbers. Okay. I just got paint by numbers and I got one for Michael and one for my two kids and we did it this weekend and we put on classical music and we did a painting session and my kids were like so well behaved for 45 minutes. It was a great distraction. It was fun. We used our hands, we used our brain. And basically you get this really extravagant picture of like a lemon bowl and you have to paint by numbers and it teaches you how to sort of like fake being an artist.

7:50Lauryn Bosstick:I loved it. Highly recommend. My daughter completely like ripped it in half and did her own interpretation of it, which is fun. I told her art's supposed to be fun. She can do whatever she wants. She can be creative. Or you can do what Michael and I did, which is actually like paint in the lines, which was fun too. But when you're done, you have this beautiful painting. So that's fun. The next thing that I am all about is tailoring. A good tailor can change your life. I believe this. If you have a pair of jeans, a pair of slacks, a blouse, and you just tailor it a little bit to your body, it can make such a difference.

8:28Lauryn Bosstick:It makes it look more expensive. And if you can find a great tailor, it's a total upgrade to your wardrobe. So I've been working with a tailor here in Austin and she comes and she just does a little bit of a cinch here and there. and I just think it makes my clothes look so much better. Now, I did just have a situation where I didn't have a tailor and I could tell an immediate difference. So I think a tailor is worth investing in, especially if you have clothes that you wear all the time, like a capsule wardrobe or you have classics. I think it's something that really elevates everything that you're doing.

9:03Lauryn Bosstick:My sister Mimi, she works in our office. She gets Levi's and she tailors them perfect to her body, which makes so much sense because her ass looks so good in these Levi jeans. And I think that's a great idea. Go get some vintage jeans and tailor them to your body. I would rather do that than buy a super expensive pair of jeans. I would rather get a$50 jean and tailor it to my body than go buy$300 jeans. I think it makes a world of difference. Okay, moving right along. I know that I've told you guys multiple times about red light. There's red light all upstairs in our house. So we do not turn on a light bulb upstairs.

9:42Lauryn Bosstick:There is not a light that gets turned on. Seriously, that is the way I get my children to get into bed at 730. So what I do is I turn off all the lights upstairs. They're already off. And then I have a red light by my bed. And then I have these little heat lights around the house. So we are essentially in the olden times functioning by candlelight at night. Like there is no light. If I turn on lights, it signals to my kids that it's time to wake up so we don't go there. But what else I've been doing, and I think this is a great tip for moms or dads, is I have Salt Rock nightlights plugged in to all the different rooms.

10:20Lauryn Bosstick:I found them in white, so you can't see them. They blend in. And we take a shower by Salt Rock. We take a bath by Salt Rock. And supposedly, it gives off really positive ions into the air. So it's like good for you too. And it does something to your circadian rhythm where you feel like you can wind down. So I'll put on a little 528 hertz, maybe some 963. I'm really into 963 hertz right now. I'll put that on. I'll put the red light on. I'll put the salt rock nightlights on. And it's like a spa in my house and everyone calms down immediately. It's almost like a rest. and I did this in the baby's room too.

11:04Lauryn Bosstick:The baby has red light in his room. He has a salt rock nightlight in his bathroom. You can't expect your kids to want to wind down or get in bed at eight o 'clock if you don't, in my opinion, set the tone of the home. If there's bright lights overhead, your kids are naturally going to want to be awake. I mean, I don't blame them. so for us there's no blue light there's no phone there's no overhead lighting and I just think it's changed our sleep game so I got my salt rock nightlights on Amazon they also have like a lamp that's a salt rock I just don't love how it looks so I would go with the nightlight if I were you and there's something that feels so zen about it and like I said they're all over every bathroom it just winds everybody down.

11:57Okay.

11:58Lauryn Bosstick:The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry. That is a great book if you've not read that. I bought it and just fell in love with the concept of this. So I really don't think hurry is sexy. And this is something that I've been working at for a long time because my schedule is hurried when I'm working. I put a lot of intention in being a mother. And so when I'm home, I try to be home and present. I don't nail it all the time. But when I'm working, I'm in it. And that means sometimes that I am, you know, really, really in a hurry. I like this concept because I've realized that it's not productive to be in a hurry.

12:43Lauryn Bosstick:And like I said, it's not sexy. I would rather eliminate things, things like random obligations or saying yes to things that are draining or constant stimulation and protect the things that matter to me. So that's family, that's family dinner, that's reading, that's writing, that's workouts, being present and having white space in my calendar, honestly. So with the book, I just learned that the biggest flex is not being busy. It's not being in such a hurry. It's building a life that feels good to you and not being rushed around. So I am in this moment right now where I don't equate success to adding more.

13:27I actually equate success to protecting what matters to me and doubling down on what matters

13:35Lauryn Bosstick:to me. So whether that's putting my energy into building the product line or into our show or new fresh ideas that pertain to those two things, that's where I want to put my energy. I don't want to put it into doing a lot and not doing it well. I feel like I was getting to a point where I was doing too much and it was good. And I'm the type of person that I want to push myself to be exceptional. So that means doing less and doing less in a hurry. And, you know, I've talked to my assistant who's amazing, my executive assistant, Katie, about this. And we've just realized that I would rather have buffer time around everything than being slammed to the brim.

14:17Lauryn Bosstick:And I also have a unicorn assistant on ChatGPT. And my unicorn assistant knows this. So whenever I feed my unicorn assistant the schedule, it brings me back down to reality and says, hey, if you don't want to be in a hurry and you don't want to be late, here's the buffer times around that. Hey, you need to eat lunch and don't be on calls while you're eating lunch. So to me, we're doing less, not more. And we're doing less exceptionally. We're doing it well. We're not just going to be good. That's where I'm at with that. And I think that book is a really good one if you're used to being a chaotic person who's running around like a chicken with their head cut off.

14:56Lauryn Bosstick:That's not the way I want to live. And so I think I have a lot of intention now around being rushed or being hurried. OK, so we're eliminating hurry. That's the point. Which brings me to my next point. I just invested in a new company and I'm an advisor to a company called The 90. and what it is is it's this really pretty chic piece of jewelry it's simple it's a little circle it has a gold chain around it and what it does is it tells you when you've gotten enough sun exposure and vitamin d for the day so it helps guide you through the day to make sure that you're in the sun but just enough i wrote a book as you guys know called get the fuck out of the sun and what that book was about was preventative beauty about using the sun strategically so i typically was using my phone to measure the UV outside.

15:48Lauryn Bosstick:And so I would take walks and go outside when the UV was low. And when this company came to me, they like solved that problem. They were like, we're going to give you this necklace that you can wear and you can track when it's good to go out in the sun, when the sun is too harsh and when your vitamin D level has been met. And I was like, sign me up. So anyways, I've been wearing this necklace. I'm loving it. It's a tech product. you wear it around your neck I showed it to you guys on my stories and anytime I go on vacation I no longer have to be a psycho about the sun I can wear my long sleeve bathing suit which I always wear a huge hat but I can also wear this product this little necklace and it can help me have strategy around the sun Stacy Christie by the way my esthetician in San Diego would be so proud of this.

16:42Lauryn Bosstick:So I hope she's listening because she does not want the hyperpigmentation on my face to come back. We finally got it under control with microneedling and the right products. All right, let's talk about the mornings. I have realized about my routine. Everyone thinks I'm so disciplined and regimented in the morning. And the truth is, I feel like what I've done is I've made my routine like a habit so it doesn't feel overwhelming. And I think when people get overwhelmed with their morning or nighttime routine, it's because they haven't made it feel like a habit. They're doing too many things and it's going like it's almost stressing you out.

17:25Lauryn Bosstick:What I've done with mine lately is it just feels like I'm habit stacking. And so the first thing I do when I wake up is I have water. Obviously, who doesn't? You got to water your body. I tell my kids this, you got to water your body like a plant. And then I have this concoction that I'm really passionate about. Okay. So what I do is I mix loom fiber. Is it loom, Emily? Loom. I don't know how to pronounce it, but I put two packets. That's 20 grams of fiber, you guys, in my water. And then I mix it with the Skinny Confidential beauty salt, which is electrolytes, colostrum, and pearl powder. That is an efficient mixture right there.

18:05Lauryn Bosstick:But here's the deal. I add a splash of grapefruit. You could also do like lemonade. I just do a splash and then I do a hydrogen tablet and then I do some quinton minerals. And we will leave this exact mix for you in the show notes. So you're all set, but you got to froth it up and I froth that up. And right there, I've gotten vitamins, electrolytes. I've got a little lemon. I'll squeeze some lemon in there. I've gotten hydrogen and I have colostrum. I mean, it's a really great mix. And then you get all that fiber, which is like, that's getting things going before you start your day. Okay. So I do that drink and I do the same thing every morning and all the products are lined up next to each other so I can grab and go.

18:50Lauryn Bosstick:I froth it up. I drink it down. Then I do a separate drink of protein or I do bone broth. So my thing is, is I really want to get protein now before my coffee. Okay. So the protein that I use, if I'm going to use protein, I have two different ones. The first one's Ballerina Farms, her vanilla. It's so good. Two scoops. I feel like it's 40 grams of protein, which is amazing. Frothed up in water, drink it down. Or you guys know I'll do the chocolate bone broth protein by Paleo Valley. Again, we'll link it, but you got to froth it. And I do two scoops of that. And I give my kids some and say, do you want chocolate water or vanilla water?

19:30Lauryn Bosstick:And they're thrilled. And then I have my coffee. So before coffee, I've already had all of these different things, fiber, minerals, electrolytes, and protein. And it just starts the day off on such an amazing foot. And this really is something that I have nailed down to three minutes. You have three minutes for yourself. Everyone has three minutes. If you put all this stuff next to each other in a drawer and make it easy, make it simple, it becomes a habit. I will not touch coffee without having my two drink concoctions. So that's what I'm doing right now. It's really working. You know, for coffee, I drink a full fat, raw milk, cappuccino.

20:09Lauryn Bosstick:I now put it in a martini shaker and shake it with ice and a little bit of the milk and pour it in my coffee cup. And it is a delight. Let me tell you, it's so good. That martini shaker, if you shake it really hard and you shake it like you've never shaked anything before with a bunch of ice, it is frothy, delicious. It's a treat. I look forward to my coffee. If I'm at home, I do a huge mug, a Lisa Renna mug. And if I'm going to the gym, I do a beautiful like coffee cup that fits in a coffee cup holder because we've had too many coffee spills in the car. So that's what I'm doing in the morning.

20:50Lauryn Bosstick:And I love it. And then, you know, after that, the rest of the day, all day long, it's mango aminos. You know this with a scoop of creatine, mango aminos all day long. I think that that is something that has helped grow my hair. like no other. What's next? Should we talk about how I got my blood work done and what I was low on? I got my blood work done. I am low on ferritin. I think that's how you pronounce it, which is so crazy because my hair has never been so long, but my ferritin is low. When your ferritin is low, go get yours tested. It has to do with iron, I feel like, and that makes your hair not as thick.

21:31Lauryn Bosstick:So we had an amazing episode. You have to go listen with a trichologist who's a scalp expert, Dr. William. And he said, if the ferritin's low, you got to get it up. And when I do get it up, my hair will be 50 % thicker. So I am saying this live on this episode. I expect my hair to be 50 % thicker in six months because I'm taking this every day. And here's the thing about ferritin. Apparently, you got to take it at the right time during the day, I guess, because if you take it next to magnesium or B vitamin or coffee, it fucks it up. So go look and go like everyone should go get their blood tested if they're a girl and they want more hair for their ferritin levels.

22:15Lauryn Bosstick:OK, for my workout, since we just got to there, you already know what I'm doing. I'm doing weights. I am lifting heavy, heavy weights. I am so passionate about encouraging women to lift heavy. It has changed my life. You guys know this. I've said it a thousand times. My body composition has shrunk because of heavy lifting and I lift heavy. Okay. You know, I'm so passionate about this. I did Lauren Bostic for P-Volv. We did heavy, heavy weights in that kit. When you order that kit, you're going to be like, wow, this is the full workout setup for my house. It's ready to go. It's in French blue. It's so cute.

22:49Lauryn Bosstick:And it's heavy weights. So that includes working with my trainer. It includes P-Volv, which I'll do at home on my mat. Sometimes I do it in my office. I have a setup here too. And it includes Pilates. And when I do do Pilates, she knows I want to lift heavy. I am loving weights. I'm so passionate about it. It does not make you bulky. I know there's like rumors around that. If you want to shrink your body composition, look to heavy weights.
