Fall Into Fertility Cleanse

Why detox in the first place?

I’m so glad you asked. It's a really important question to understand the answer to. When you are understand the WHY it helps you to follow through and I'm going to be here to show you the HOW. 

I used to think detoxes were only for health nuts and trendy celebrities (think Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston). I had learned in my graduate program that the body naturally detoxifies itself when it is in balance. Then I started my medical practice and realized the following. 

#1 Rarely was someone balanced.

#2 No one was taught how to eat for health. Most of us were taught to eat out of convenience, for pleasure or comfort.

#3 The constant assault of chemicals, pesticides, GMO's, and plastics were something the ancient Chinese sages could have never seen coming. Our bodies were experiencing an evolutionary mismatch to our world of convenience and modern day farming practices that had seriously take a turn for the worst.

Infertility and rates of chronic disease, not just in adults, but in children are skyrocketing. We are getting sicker as a nation, not healthier, and our ability to procreate naturally is on the line. It was happening to fast to be genetic. It has to be environmental.

I started learning more about functional medicine, nutrition, about our bodies’ physiology and about the environmental toxins we’re exposed to on a daily basis and how they affect our hormones. It’s really intense! Did you know that scientists have determined that most people are carrying over 700 contaminants in their bodies? These chemicals have been linked to all kinds of damage including infertility, secondary sexual characteristics, cancer, high blood pressure, memory problems, immune dysfunction, attention deficit disorder, and more.

Yes, our bodies do work to detox on a daily basis, and they do this through four primary organs: the lungs, the kidneys, the skin and the liver. The challenge comes when our bodies get exposed to more toxins than they can process out, which is happening to all of us every day. We are at an evolutionary tipping point of sorts. The truth of the matter is that toxic chemicals in our food, our air, our water and in materials all around us can quickly overload our systems and it is. The effects of these high loads of toxins are causing our genes to trigger in ways that will have health implications for generations to come. 

When our bodies get overexposed to toxins, our liver does the best job it can to protect us, and it does this by wrapping those toxins in mucous and storing them in fat cells. EEEW! The problem with that is when we have a toxin stored in our fat, we can’t burn that fat until we release and process that toxin! Is the lightbulb going off as to why your weight loss efforts have stalled despite your best efforts? This is also one reason why some people feel like crap when they detox. If their digestive systems are leaky, they simply reabsorb the partially broken down toxin all over again. You can exercise and "eat healthy" all you want, but if you don't strengthen a leaky gut first and then use supplements after that has happened to assist your body in breaking down those toxins, the process just starts all over in addition to what you are continually exposed to. 

I want to show you how to heal your gut through your food choices. Then and only then will you implement the right supplements to assist your body into escorting those toxins out of your body once and for all. This is the safest way to detox no matter where you are on your journey to conceive.
