Detox For a Healthier, More Vibrant You
Whether you’re a detox novice or a seasoned cleanser, this post is for you! Let’s explore how professional, therapeutic-grade cleanse programs support your body’s natural detoxification processes, learn what science says about environmental toxins, and discover why adopting a cleansing lifestyle could be your best health decision yet.
What is Detoxification?
Detoxification is your body’s natural, three-phase process of transforming toxins into less harmful substances for safe elimination. This innate system is essential for your survival, operating non-stop 24/7 to purge your body of harmful, health-damaging compounds and impurities – toxins – through your liver, gut, kidneys, lungs, and skin.
Toxic Burden of Modern Living
Since the industrial revolution, over 80,000 new scientifically created chemicals have been introduced into our environment. These chemicals are hidden within our air, food, water, and even everyday products—shampoos, skincare, cosmetics, cars, fabrics, mattresses, non-stick pans, plastics, and more. When combined, the sheer number of these chemicals can place a heavy toxic burden on the body.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has led extensive research [1] [2] in measuring chemicals in people and reports levels of over 200 of these environmental chemicals such as heavy metals, flame retardants, phthalates, and pesticides in the fat, tissue, blood, and urine of large sample groups.[3] What’s even more alarming is that some of these substances are known carcinogens[4], while others can throw hormones out of whack and wreak havoc on organ function.
In many ways, our body’s natural detoxification systems do a fantastic job of removing naturally occurring toxins, such as metabolic toxins. However, many environmental toxins are fat soluble, which means they are stored in our body’s fat tissues and are very hard to get rid of. Add the burden of these environmental toxins on top of stress and the standard American diet, filled with processed foods, pesticides, refined sugars & grains, additives, and preservatives—this chemical cocktail leaves no wonder why our internal detoxification systems are simply overburdened.
Is Your Body Overtaxed with Toxins?
When your body becomes overtaxed with toxic invaders, your natural detox abilities can weaken, allowing toxins to build-up inside the body—all of which can cause degenerative health symptoms and leave you feeling tired and sick.
Here are some common signs that you may want to consider a healthy detox program:
- Frequent illness
- Difficulty losing weight*
- Mood swings*, anxiety*, depression*, irritability*
- Poor concentration*, absentmindedness, indecision, mental confusion
- Chronic fatigue* or low energy
- Insomnia or unrestful sleep, difficulty relaxing
- Headaches*
- Digestive issues (bloating, IBS, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn)*
- Painful inflammation (joints, muscles, sinuses, gut)
- Intense cravings (such as sugar & bread)*
- Skin issues (acne, psoriasis)*
*Note: Symptoms marked with an asterisk may also be associated with Candida overgrowth and/or hormonal imbalances. A comprehensive wellness evaluation can help identify underlying causes and tailor an effective plan.
The bright side? While you can’t necessarily control your exposure to all environmental toxins, you can control your lifestyle. By removing dietary stressors contributing to toxic overload and adopting a nutrient-dense diet and cleansing lifestyle, you can begin to reduce symptoms and reverse the course of degenerative health.
How to Properly Eliminate Toxins From Your Body
Each of your detoxifying organs relies upon one another to eliminate toxins, making it essential to not only cleanse each individual organ but crucial to cleanse each of them at the same time properly.
For example, if you do just a colon cleanse, the toxins often travel back through the colon’s wall and re-accumulate in the liver again. So you can cleanse your colon but re-toxify your liver if you’re not cleansing your liver at the same time. And vice versa, the same thing if you cleanse your liver but haven’t cleansed your colon.
One significant factor in our professional, therapeutic-grade cleanses is that our detox programs are not just a colon cleanse, a liver cleanse, or even a kidney cleanse—they’re total-body detox programs. Instead of moving toxins from one place to another, our detoxification kits and programs give your body the ability to remove toxins from every single organ and tissue where they reside, boost your natural detox abilities, and create daily, healthy habits that you will want to continue after you finish.
Want to Understand Your Symptoms Better?
Take our Quick Detox Assessment for a brief wellness evaluation, or opt for the Comprehensive Detox Assessment for a more in-depth analysis of symptoms you might be experiencing, including symptoms that could be Candida and/or hormonal health-related.
