Why Should You Do a Functional Medicine Detox?
When I was dealing with weight loss resistance and increasing bouts of low energy, I tried all the diets, hard-core workouts and going to the doctor. It was constant frustration not seeing the scale budge and being told everything was “normal” on my bloodwork. Then one day I learned about Functional Medicine detoxing and since I have been doing them every few months for the past two years, I have been able to reach my ideal body weight and maintain it like never before. My energy is also recharged upon completing each Detox.
The Detox I do is nothing like a juice cleanse, it’s a liver-focused detoxification process that allows the body to safely eliminate toxins. When looking at products and ingredients, it’s important that both Phase 1 and 2 of liver detoxification are addressed.
Do you know there are over 80,000 consumer chemicals registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and most have never received vigorous toxicity testing? Our bodies were not built to deal with this overburden of daily toxic exposure. This is why we cannot expect our livers to function optimally, and it is one of the most overlooked pieces of the puzzle regarding our health.
Toxins can accumulate in the body and they often get stored in fat cells to keep us safe. So when someone is having trouble losing weight and can’t figure out why they are getting no where with eating less and exercising more, often it’s because their toxic burden is keeping them from reaching their goals. This accumulation of toxins effects our health in many other ways as well, including causing hormone imbalances, inflammation, sleep issues, blood sugar dysregulation, digestive issues, brain fog and skin issues.
A Functional Medicine Detox is the best first place to begin on any weight loss and health journey. By reducing our toxic load, our bodies can begin to function better! I also recommend to my clients that they continue with detoxing as part of a healthy lifestyle for optimal aging and increasing health span.
