Detoxification
Detox - “House Cleaning" - We use an organic Standard Process 21-day detox program to reset your body and get rid of toxins. It supports the body’s natural toxin-metabolism processes and brings healthy lifestyle habits into focus. Toxins are in the foods we eat, water we drink, products we put on our skin, and air we breathe. Most people know about:
- Pesticides
- Chemicals
- Additives and preservatives
- Heavy metals
- Pollution
What some people might not realize is that our bodies also produce natural toxins, such as ammonia, carbon dioxide, hormone-metabolism byproducts, oxidized lipids, and protein/nucleic acid compounds. These natural toxins linger in the body if they can’t be excreted. The liver, lymphatic system, kidneys, lungs, intestines, blood, and skin all filter, expel, or metabolize these toxins. When overloaded, the body becomes inefficient. Toxins can build up, creating a toxic burden that can have wide-reaching effects. Toxin buildup in the body can lead to inefficiencies and altered metabolism. When the body isn’t operating optimally, this can contribute to:
- Gastrointestinal problems and Indigestion
- A stuffy feeling in the head
- Reduced mental clarity
- Fatigue or difficulty sleeping
- Food cravings and weight gain
- Low libido
- Blemished and unhealthy skin
