This week, we are pleased to get to know Joana Teixeira , founder of The Therapist Lx, a little better. For those who don't know, in addition to being a restaurant that follows functional nutrition principles (a big plus!), they also offer personalized support for those who need new routines and recipes for better health and lifestyle - think less fatigue, more energy, less swelling…

Joana gave up the stability of a secure job to launch herself into a project of her own, in which she believes 1000% - and this is always super inspiring! So, stay with one more From Inside Out. I hope you like it and you know that there are always discounts to take advantage of on Joana's favorite products here 💓

TO CREATE

Who and what inspires you? People. I love watching people on the street,
in restaurants, at home... I find human behavior and
Most of the ideas I get are from interacting with others.

What do you still need to create? So many things! This head never stops. But
now I'm dedicated to a personal project of flowers and crystals, some
types of amulets. 😬

How to stay creative: Looking for happiness. A happy person is
a creative person. I look for happiness in interactions with friends,
dancing, being with my family, walking in nature...

TO LIVE

First thing to do when waking up: As I have a 10 month old baby, pick him up from bed and give him lots of kisses.

How to relax at the end of the day: “Sofar” with my husband

A place to disconnect: Sagres

Favorite physical exercise: Dancing

How you release stress: In my “exorcism” classes - a kind of hit with dancing and stretching

A woman who inspires you: My mother - a businesswoman who came from nothing, grew from strength to strength and who never lets me give up without putting up a fight

NOURISH

like the one we serve at The Therapist . I love eating plant-based and
fruit, but I can't do without a little fish from time to time.

TO CARE

Beauty icon: Gisele Bundchen - I think she's beautiful and from what I see, she's a person who also tries to be beautiful on the inside, not just on the outside.

An essential piece of clothing: Jeans

What's not missing in your beauty routine: As I have a tendency to acne-prone skin, I'm very careful and wash my face morning and night, apply serum, moisturizer and sunscreen every day.

Favorite MPL'beauty product: Puro Sol serum . I love the texture and the good smell! I am addicted! :)

How do you feel more beautiful? When I have just left the beach after a
invigorating sea bath
