Another very important and informative conversation! Anyone with eyes can see that we are getting dramatically sicker as a nation. When it comes to our health it’s becoming more important to do our own research. Knowledge is power. Almost all of the chronic health problems today are lifestyle related and a huge portion of them are reversible.

Root cause medicine is starting to gain traction because it’s effective. Instead of putting people on medication for life, some practitioners are digging in to why their patients needed the medicine in the first place and working to reverse symptoms and eventually discontinue the drugs. All the body’s systems are interconnected. For example, gut health directly affects mental health. So much so that the gut has been called the second brain by some researchers. All this to say, what we are learning is that pharmaceutical drugs may help symptoms but they likely don’t cure the root cause of the problem. We have to dig into the dysfunction that caused the symptoms in the first place and address that.

Talk to your doctor about it! If your doc has no interest in hearing your concerns, there are others out there who will listen and take you seriously!

Question: Do you have a doctor or practitioner that works with you on lifestyle, tells you that it DOES matter what you eat, tells you that it’s possible to come off of certain pharmaceuticals, tries to find the root cause of your issues? Let me know who they are! I like to keep a list so I can recommend them to people! ♥️

There are so many fad detox diets and juice cleanses out there that promise to clean out your system and leave you feeling amazing. Don’t buy it!

If you want to detoxify, learn about drainage. Drainage refers to the different parts of the body that aid in the elimination of toxins. If you are detoxifying (pulling toxins out of the tissues) but not draining properly, the toxins are staying in your body and recirculating! Not good!!

Here’s how to make sure your body is draining:

🔹1-3 bowel movements per day. If you are constipated, you aren’t getting rid of toxins!
🔹 Love your liver! It works hard to get rid of toxins but can get congested and sluggish. Avoid or reduce alcohol, get rid of junk foods, artificial sweeteners, and industrial oils. Add in liver supportive supplements- message me if you want recommendations.
🔹Get lymph moving and sweat! You can kill two birds with one stone here by exercising, jumping up and down, dancing, etc. These movements get your lymph flowing and sweating helps you detox! Lymph flow can also be supported with massage and sauna.
🔹Support your mitochondria. These guys are the powerhouses of our cells. They sustain life! But they can become dysfunctional due to toxins, stress, poor diet, etc.
Cleaning up your diet, reducing stress, optimizing sleep, and supplementing with bioactive carbon minerals can recharge your mitochondria and restore their capacity to detoxify your cells!

Once your drainage pathways are in good shape, then the body can detoxify properly. I highly recommended working through this with a practitioner!

Happy Draining!! 💩
