In this blog post, we will explore what toxins are, how we can help eliminate toxins to enhance our overall health and wellbeing, and introduce you to our new course, the Lifestyle Detox Course. Lifestyle Health and Wellness has a program just for YOU!

What are toxins?

We are exposed to toxins in chemicals, heavy metals, TV, food, air, water, apps on our phones, relationships, thoughts, and so many other places. These various internal and external exposures can build up and overburden our detoxification systems, leading to a variety of bothersome symptoms.

Common symptoms of a toxin burden in the body:

• Difficulty concentrating/brain fog

• Mood swings

• Irritability                     

• Trouble sleeping

• Waking up feeling unrefreshed        

• Live or work around environmental pollutants                 

• Lack of energy                                 

• Acne, rashes, hives

• Sensitivity to chemicals                      

• Elevated blood inflammatory markers   

• Headaches

• Can't sweat

• Can't tolerate alcohol

• Digestive discomfort- Bloating constipation, diarrhea, stomach pain   

What is a Detox?

A detox program is a structured approach to cleansing your body. Many detox programs are centered around fasting, juice cleanses, supplements or specific diets. The goal of a detox program is to eliminate toxins from your body, in pursuit of improving overall health and well-being. It is important to note that not all detoxes work the same and focus on the body’s needs. 

It is important to identify a program that focuses on the body’s detoxification pathways, the 3 phases of detox, and ensures proper macronutrient and micronutrient intake that is needed to support the body’s natural systems. Ours at Lifestyle Health and Wellness does just that.

If you’re looking for a structured, detail-oriented approach to detoxing, consider trying our 20-Day Lifestyle Detox Course. It is always recommended to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any detox program. Interested in becoming a member and getting our guidance through your detox? Learn more here.

It’s important to note that while detox programs can be beneficial, they should be approached with caution. Detox programs can be challenging and should only be undertaken with the guidance of a healthcare professional. Before starting any detox program, it’s always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider to determine if it’s right for you. They can help you determine which type of program would be best for your individual needs and provide guidance on how to safely and effectively complete the program.
