Resolutions for weight loss and self care
After the excesses of the holidays, resolutions for self care and weight loss abound. Instead of going on a diet to lose those extra pounds and that sluggish feeling, consider a detox instead. If the detox channels in the body are clogged or sluggish, even the best attempt at dieting is going to produce lackluster results. Unclogging those detox channels will help improve digestion, boost metabolism and decrease inflammation, which all play a crucial role in weight loss and the body’s set weight point. It can be the answer to breaking through the most stubborn weight loss plateau. When you are feeling lighter and brighter from a detox it will be easier to stay strong and on track when faced with cravings and temptation. [...]
Boosting detox effects
If you’re ready for the amazing health results from a detox program, here are ways to boost the effects of detox while avoiding the unpleasant side effects. Toxins are mainly stored in fat cells. And your body may be holding onto fat to provide extra storage for your toxic load. This storage system is a protective mechanism as your body tries to hide toxins “under the rug”. This is a main reason toxicity is related to weight gain and detoxing helps shed pounds. If you diet without helping your body cleanse, the release of extra toxins can make you feel terrible with symptoms like headaches, fatigue or irritability. Cleansing modalities support major detox organs such as the liver, skin, kidneys, lungs, mouth and colon. [...]
Chronic Disease
For many chronic diseases, modern medicine has no good solutions. Some examples are digestive issues, autoimmune disease, chronic pain, anxiety/depression and weight loss resistance. Pharmaceuticals simply cover up symptoms at best, providing limited relief and a dependence on an expensive pill habit. The body is able to heal itself in times of illness and stress. When animals are sick, they fast to cleanse and repair their bodies. Humans have been doing this too for thousands of years. When pharmaceuticals don’t work well, cleansing may be the solution. Cleansing improves organ function, reduces inflammation, brightens mood and improves the physical and emotional problems that get worse when the body carries a toxic load. Here are a few examples of symptoms and conditions that can be [...]

Cleansing is the new dieting
Overloading detox pathways in the body can be a major cause of weight gain. Using targeted herbs and scheduled calorie restriction can clear detox pathways, by supporting the liver, kidneys and colon in doing their jobs more efficiently. Intermittent fasting is growing in popularity but has been around for thousands of years, used by ancient people to purify for spiritual practice, meditation and prayer. Intermittent fasting can be added to any detox program to boost the effects. It works by freeing the body from the massive energy drain of digesting food. When the body is not busy digesting, it can devote it’s time to self cleaning. As humans we’re designed to go for periods of time without food. During these fasting periods the body [...]
