Spring Clean For Better Health

For those of you who joined us on the webinar on our 30-day detoxification program today, we want to thank you and hope you learned some new things! Here are the notes in summary format for you to keep as a reference. For those who missed it, please let me know that you’re interested and I can make sure to notify you the next time around.

What is a Toxin?

• Any substance that produces a harmful or irritating affect on the body.
• Toxins impact your body’s ability to function optimally.
• In innate wisdom, the body stores them away and tries to sequester them (in adipose and other tissues).

Where Do Toxins Come From?

• Air – pollution, coal-burning power plants, car exhaust
• Water – heavy metals (lead), chlorine, fluoride
• Food – pesticides, fertilizers, antibiotics, hormones, heavy metals (esp seafood)
• Other – amalgam fillings, vaccines, plastics, pharmaceuticals, cleaning products, personal care products

Why is Detoxification Important?

• Reducing chance of chronic disease
• Faster recovery from chronic disease
• More energy
• Better quality sleep
• Weight loss
• Faster recovery from illness, exercise
• Hormonal balance
• Emotional balance
• Feeling and looking more vibrant and energized

How Are Toxins Processed and Eliminated?

• Lymphatic system brings toxins back into central blood stream
• Liver – has to process majority of toxins and get them ready for elimination by other organs
• Organs of elimination –
• Skin – sweating
• Lungs – breathing
• Kidneys – urinating
• Bowels – defecating
• Having a healthy digestive system is crucial for healthy detoxification and maintaining a balanced system – “Healthy Microbiome”

Detox Programs vs Everyday Ongoing Detox

Detox programs (7-30 days) –

• can be a good jumpstart
• can reset dietary and lifestyle habits
• be careful of ‘rebounding’ back to old habits at the end

Everyday ongoing detox –

• sets people up to gently but consistently detoxify throughout their lives
• makes people more aware of incoming toxins and ongoing healthy choices to prevent them

Nutritional Strategies to Support Detoxification

• Minimize incoming toxins –
• drink only filtered, clean water, preferably alkaline – not tap water
• drink at least ½ gallon per day – add lemon or grapefruit oil
• eat organic as much as possible
• choose organic/ free-range eggs and organic poultry and meat that has not been exposed to any hormones or antibiotics. Grass-fed where possible
• Sugar is a TOXIN!!!
• Eat lots of dietary fiber – need to sweep toxins out of the bowel and eliminate them, not have them reabsorbed into the blood stream. Consider adding 1 tablespoon ground flax to a smoothie; other options are psyllium husk or ground chia.
• Minimize foods that cause immune reactions and sensitivities –
• test food sensitivities through blood testing
• avoid foods that make you feel off, lethargic, bloated or sick
• minimize inflammatory foods – gluten and dairy

Lifestyle Strategies to Support Detoxification

• Sleep is key – at least 8 hours a night is ideal.
• Essential oils for sleep – geranium, vetiver, marjoram, lavender, cedarwood.
• Much detoxification happens at night when the body has a chance to rest and do it’s repair and regeneration.
• Emotions – watch for toxic thoughts and emotions. Seek personal growth and development through counseling, journaling, Emotional Freedom Technique.

Use essential oils to support healthy emotional wellbeing –

• Grounding Blend – grounding blend, calming for the mind
• Calming Blend – calming and soothing
• Joyful Blend – uplifting, joyful blend
• Invigorating Blend – uplifting, energizing blend
• Spiritual – prayer and meditation to detox the mind and spirit! Start with a few minutes every day.
• Detox your home – non-toxic cleaning and personal care products to reduce chemical exposure.

• AromaTouch technique – a hands-on method of applying essential oils, created to combat four systemic constants: stress, toxic insult, inflammation, and autonomic imbalance.

Skin Brushing

• Increases circulation and oxygenation of tissues; assists in the ‘sweeping’ of lymphatic fluid up towards the heart.
• Use a boar-hair brush, only brush dry skin (before a shower best).
• Always sweep towards the heart, except for across the chest area sweep towards armpits.

Rebounding
