What's new? Inside Out Body Detoxification & Purification

Undoubtedly the most common thing I hear the first week of January each year is about overindulgence. Not necessarily the details of how exactly someone had overindulged but the effects of the overindulgence.

And those details are never left out. Feelings of fatigue, sluggishness, muscle aches, bloating, body swelling, Gastro esophageal Reflux, constipation, & weight gain. One person even told me they felt they had lost their “edge”.

Considering that the average person usually overindulges for approximately 3 weeks at the end of the year, we should allot 3 weeks in January for ourselves to do some New Year Cleaning.

Just as we take our automobiles in for routine oil changes, we must do the same for our bodies. In order for our bodies to run, perform, think, and function optimally we must do a bit of housekeeping from the inside out. The winter months are truly a beginning and an opportunity for us to Detoxify mind, body, and spirit.

INSIDE OUT BODY REJUVINATION:

The question really is not whether or not we are toxic, but rather How Toxic are we?

Toxins are divided into 2 types exogenous, coming from the external environment into our body and endogenous, created within our body as cellular waste. Examples of exogenous toxins are contaminants & chemicals in our food supply, our air, water and through pharmaceutical medications.

The rate that we accumulate toxins depends on our exposure, & our ability to break them down and eliminate them from our body.

Our total toxic body load is determined by our Total Toxic Exposure minus our ability to detoxify and excrete toxins.

As you can see by this simple equation that we can reduce our Toxin Body Load simply by reducing our exposure to environmental hazards and optimizing our internal abilities of detoxification and excretion.

We excrete toxins through our organs of elimination: Liver, Gastrointestinal tract, Lungs, Kidneys, and Skin. Together our gastrointestinal system and our Liver represent the state of health or disease throughout the rest of the body. When either of these organs are compromised or overburdened disease will set in.

Chances are that if we live in the same place we always have at the same job we always perform, our environmental toxin exposure is more or less the same. What changes when we overindulge are the additional exogenous toxins that enter our system that are normally not present? Example: Honey baked ham (Filled with preservatives), caramel gingerbread latte, (filled with colorings, sugar, caffeine etc.), soda, (caffeine, colorings, chemicals, etc.), excess Alcohol (to be processed through your liver.) All of these overindulgence items begin to add up and suddenly our body burden level just rose considerably, our organs of elimination begin to be overwhelmed, and endogenously, the sugar, pastry flour, and late dinners are slowing down digestive system, causing impaired digestion, bacteria to grow on undigested food, yeast to feed on the excess sugar and suddenly we don’t feel so great. This is the precise reason I hear so many stories of overindulgence in January. The answer? Detoxify

We have designed a Detoxification Program at the clinic Specifically for this reason, with the goal of lowering the overall body burden of Toxins, which makes us all feel much better!

Detoxifying over a 3 week period (21 days) will not only leave you feeling completely refreshed and energetic, but will have: Assisted in removing harmful bacteria & Candida from the gastrointestinal tract, enhanced the liver’s ability to remove toxins from the blood, improved bowel elimination, and assisted in rebuilding the mucosal lining.

Give your body a much-needed break, plan on doing a detox to restore energy, body flexibility, and mental alertness. For more information on Detoxification please call our office.
