Metabolic Detoxification
Centre for Advanced Medicine
According to the Environmental Working Group, the list of hazardous chemicals that have been found in our homes, bodies and environment is endless. Every day, we are exposed to hundreds of toxic chemicals through products like pharmaceuticals, pesticides, packaged foods, household and hygiene products, and environmental pollution. As we have become more exposed to chemical-laden products and to toxic chemicals in food, air, and water, we have been confronted with an accelerating rate of chronic illnesses like cancer, heart disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, chemical sensitivity, autism spectrum disorders, ADD/AD(H)D, autoimmune disorders, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease to name a few.
For example, Phlalates, a known hormone-disruptor, can be found in cosmetics, aftershave, perfumes, nail polish and detergents. Toxic chemicals can slowly erode your health.
What can I expect during a metabolic detox?
Detoxification is a powerful tool for health. Applied properly, it can be used against a myriad of conditions. Depending on what toxins are in the body, how long they have been stored and where they reside a ‘detox crisis’ can occur which can lead to headaches, tiredness, and irritability. Withdrawal symptoms may also occur and include food cravings and bowel irregularity. Symptoms should only last a few days and plenty of water and sleep can help. These temporary symptoms are typically followed by renewed energy, clearer radiant skin, pain reduction, sharper focus, deeper sleep and weight loss.
How do you know if you need a metabolic detox?
There are various signs and symptoms suggesting your body would benefit from detoxification. Regardless of symptoms, to keep you looking and feeling your best, experts suggest a minimum of 2 deep cleanses per year. Indicators the body has been impacted by toxicants include persistent fatigue, chemical sensitivity, inability to lose weight, brain fog, water retention and widespread muscle pain. Exposure to toxic chemicals is inevitable, but metabolic detoxification and regular cleansing can prevent the harmful effects on our cells, protein and DNA and protect from rapid aging, reduced skin health and vitality.
