Detoxification

There are steps we can take daily in order to keep the toxic load under control such as reducing intake of processed/ refined foods, reduce intake of pro-inflammatory foods, keep sugar and carb intake to a minimum as over eating them creates inflammation, reduce psychogenic stressors such as worrying and anger, and eliminate consumption of foods containing chemicals such as additives and preservatives. Instead, introduce quality whole foods in the diet in optimal amounts, drink plenty of purified water, pray, meditate, listen to your favorite music, take time to disconnect from work or things that worry you, try to sweat with a rigorous physical activity you can tolerate, and try to get plenty of sleep.

In addition to the aforementioned lifestyle modifications we can aid the detoxification organs with supplemental enzymes, probiotics, and key vitamins/minerals. The goal is to mobilize toxins from fat stores (adipose tissue and liver), make them physiologically stable, and eliminate them via the bile through the stool and/or urine through the kidneys.

Being free of toxicity is nearly impossible in the world we live in, so in order to have optimum health we depend on functioning organs in order to maintain balance between what comes in and what goes out. If the toxic overload is greater than the ability to eliminate we suffer in terms of health and vitality. At True Lifelong Wellness Center, we recommend a comprehensive blood panel and urinalysis in order to evaluate physiological function and balance of your internal environment. This balance relies upon the ability to detect environmental (external) and physiological (internal) changes in order to turn on special adaptive responses. If you or any one you know are suffering from a detox related problem we would love to help in order to achieve True Lifelong Wellness.
