HOLISTIC ADAPTOGENIC SKIN CARE SINCE 1996

Dr. Saulius Anthony Alkaitis is a highly regarded research scientist with a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering from the University of New Mexico. In addition to being a chemist, he is also a molecular biologist; an ethno-pharmacologist (trained in traditional plant-based healing,) and a pharmacognosist (experienced in the medicinal properties of plants.) With his scientific knowledge and expertise in plant life, he fuses both disciplines into a holistic approach creating one of the most dynamic ‘living’ personal-care lines available on the market today. 

Dr. Alkaitis only formulates with organic, biodynamic, or wild-crafted herbs, plants, seeds, sea vegetables, and oils in their raw state. The result is effective raw skin food that treats your skin as the whole organism it is, filled to the brim with exactly the nutrients your skin needs to radiate a healthy glow. Dr. Alkaitis makes his own extracts, using sophisticated techniques that allow him to work with the intelligence of raw whole high-quality plants; root, stem, leaf, and flower. Being able to preserve the integrity and therapeutic value of a whole plant in an extract is both an art and a science.

Boost your complexion and look radiant with Dr. Alkaitis's soft lightweight Organic Day Crème. Rich in anti-oxidants and brimming with natural vitamins, this cream deeply moisturizes and softens your skin. A silken, lightweight blend of deeply moisturizing components, enriched with the protecting antioxidant power of a meticulously composed collection of raw whole plant extracts. 

Dr. Alkaitis' Crèmes are all developed with the unique oil of the Sacha Inchi seed. This oil is one of the highest plant sources of Omega-3 essential fatty acids known in nature and is one of Dr. Alkaitis' personal favorite oils. Among the combination of the carefully chosen raw extracts are the antioxidant-rich Centella Asiatica and Tussilago Farfara which form the base for a cream that is formulated to deeply moisturize while protecting the skin from damage due to pollution and environmental stress.

A whole food, back to basic program that will leave you feeling like yourself again.

Are you confused by all the conflicting dietary advice out there?

• Not sure what to eat anymore—or maybe you do know, but find yourself struggling to stick with healthy choices?

• Do sugar cravings run the show?

• Are you dealing with digestive issues like bloating, constipation, or acid reflux?

• Have you been told you’re pre-diabetic or have high cholesterol?

• Are you wanting to lose weight?

• Do you struggle with mood and energy levels?

• Do you constantly put your own self-care on the back burner just to keep up with life?

If you answered “yes” to any of these (or all of them), you are not alone.

These are the exact reasons people join the TSH Five-Week Real Food Cleanse—and why so many find it life-changing.

This safe, sane, and fully supported program is designed to help you:

• Break free from the blood sugar roller coaster

• Reduce cravings for sugar and starchy carbs

• Eliminate foods that are irritating your digestion

• Reconnect with your body through real, nourishing food

You’ll be part of an inspiring, supportive group that makes the process feel doable and even fun. With guidance from Joey, a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, you’ll have expert support to avoid common pitfalls and get the most out of your cleanse.

Most people are amazed at how quickly they begin to feel better—more energized, more clear-headed, and more in control just by removing sugar and processed foods and replacing them with nutrient-dense, delicious real food.

This is not a juice fast or a colon cleanse.
No calorie counting, no starvation, no gimmicks, and no being stuck near the bathroom.

Think of it as a Real Food Reset—a way to give your body the break it’s been asking for and begin building a more sustainable, nourishing way of eating.
