Passionate about a ‘Healthier You’

Lisa Testa, M.S., of Healthier You, LLC, has been an invaluable supporter, fan, writer and advocate of Shear Miracles by Robyn ~ Organic Salon Products, almost from our beginning! As a trained Holistic Nutritional Consultant with a passion for teaching, it was a natural fit to begin writing for us. Like many people who have made lifestyle changes, Lisa has a story. Her holistic journey began while she was an Italian Education major in college. Lisa struggled with her weight most of her life, when she came across a “powerful” book entitled, What Would Jesus Eat by Don Colbert, M.D. She just couldn’t put it down. “I read the entire book front cover to back in one night, and literally never touched white bread or white sugar again”, says Lisa. Lisa even changed her major and started studying Holistic Nutrition, which is the field that she now holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree. Growing up Italian, Lisa’s family life was characterized by “cooking and eating everything”. Studying Holistic Nutrition familiarized her with a wide array of different therapeutic healing diets. Lisa decided to try each specific diet mentality for herself, for a minimum period of three months, as she learned about them. This way she could legitimately recommend them to her clients. She tried vegetarianism, veganism, dairy-free, macrobiotics. Finally, Lisa tried the raw foods diet. “I intentionally tried it last because I knew that it would be the most difficult for me.” Lisa committed to it for only one month and in the summertime, when “there would be a lot of delicious fresh produce”. After only two and a half weeks, Lisa discovered a “totally amazing transformation” that took place in her body and she knew she would never go back to eating anything but 100% raw foods again! Five years later, Lisa says, “I have never felt better in my life”. She no longer struggles with her weight, her vision has improved, she no longer struggles with sinusitis or eczema and now she has “energy that is over the top”! After about a year of “being raw”, Lisa had a terrible reaction to getting her hair colored. The healthier she got, through a pure diet, the more she noticed that her conventional beauty care products were beginning to bother her. Not wanting to stop highlighting her hair or using beauty products, she Googled Organic Salon Products and found Shear Miracles Organic Salon, located in Lancaster, PA. Although she lived in NJ, she decided to make an appointment and make the trip. Lisa has been using (and writing for) Shear Miracles Organic Products ever since! “I love SO many SM products. I have favorites that I use EVERY SINGLE DAY!”, she proclaims. Lisa’s personal favorites are the Calming Shampoo & Conditioner, the Purely Amazing Shampoo & Conditioner, the Fresh Styles Spray Gel to make curly hair stay beautiful all day long, the Orange Body Lotion, the Beautiful Face Blush, and last but not least, the Summer Paradise Shower Gel. “I have tried many other products, and NO other company compares with the purity of SM…or the quality.” “Shear Miracles Products work beautifully!” Lisa has always loved to write “especially on topics that I’m passionate about”. She is a Staff Writer for Purely Delicious Magazine and has also written for publications like, Vibrance Magazine, Natural Awakenings Magazine and, of course, Shear Miracles by Robyn ~ Organic Salon Products. In Lisa’s own words, “I love writing for a company that I truly believe in!” Lisa would like to tell the world to “Smile in gratitude for the gift of life, Give with the heart of a servant, and Love with compassion like Jesus.”
