The Modern World Is Tough on Our Health

We often encounter patients who are trying very hard to live healthy lifestyles but are still struggling. They are well-versed in diet and lifestyle choices, have eliminated processed foods, and eat their greens daily. While this has made a difference, they still feel they’re not thriving as they should. Despite their efforts, they continue to suffer from issues like chronic joint pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, weight loss resistance, skin problems, and more.

Sometimes, a "healthy" diet isn’t enough. Even with the healthiest food choices, our bodies can struggle to process and absorb nutrients due to factors like a lack of enzymes, food allergies, sensitivities, or other genetic, biological, or environmental factors. We also can’t ignore the impact of stress, toxic relationships, poor sleep, and our overall mindset on our body’s health and vitality—these are critical pieces of the puzzle!

It’s essential for each of us to find a personalized nutrition and healing plan that works for our individual needs and allows us to truly thrive. This is where Detox and Nutrition come into play. A personalized approach that looks at how food affects your body at the cellular level can help you heal and regain vitality. It also empowers you to take ownership of your health through understanding and self-knowledge.

Here Are a Few Healthy Lifestyle Tips and Proactive Strategies to Help You Get Started:

  1. Reduce Your Intake of Inflammatory Foods
    Avoid common food sensitivities such as gluten, dairy, and sugar by following an anti-inflammatory diet. Incorporating anti-inflammatory supplements into your daily routine helps combat free radicals that contribute to disease and chronic illness. Stay away from deep-fried foods and highly processed packaged items with preservatives, and aim for a cleaner diet that includes more vegetables.                                                                                                     

  2. Optimize Your Gut Health
    All disease (and the chronic symptoms that accompany it) begins in the gut! By reducing inflammatory foods, toxins, and stress, and adding nutrient-dense foods and supplements such as a quality probiotic, you can support gut health and keep yourself vibrant and healthy.

  3. Reduce Your Toxic Load & Optimize Detoxification in the Body
    Choose organic fruits, vegetables, and pasture-raised organic proteins. Replace toxic body care and cleaning products with natural alternatives. Drink filtered water and consider using an infrared sauna. Taking breaks from screens (putting down your phone and turning off the computer) can also be beneficial. Every small change adds up!

  4. Evaluate Your Stressors
    Stress is one of the biggest toxins we face daily. While it’s impossible to eliminate stress, we can manage it. Create an action plan to handle controllable stressors, and engage in activities you enjoy to reduce stress. Practices such as prayer, meditation, deep breathing, or mind-body exercises like yoga or Pilates are all effective ways to manage stress.

  5. Make Sure You’re Getting Adequate Sleep
    Sleep is when our bodies detoxify, restore, and heal. It’s essential for optimal functioning, but we often underestimate its importance in our busy lives. Prioritize rest to help your body rejuvenate.                                                                                                     

  6. Cultivate Gratitude, a Positive Mindset & a Sense of Purpose
    Even in the face of chronic symptoms, there’s always something to be thankful for. Keep a gratitude journal and take small steps each day toward your goals while living out your purpose. A mindset focused on gratitude and purpose can help you remain resilient during health challenges.

  7. Consider Meeting with a Health Coach
    Navigating your health journey can be overwhelming, but a personal health consultant can provide one-on-one support, guidance, and accountability. A health coach educates and empowers you to take action and make lasting changes for your health and life.

We don’t have to accept poor health, a lack of vitality or struggle with nagging issues as we get older.

If you can’t figure out the answers to why you don’t feel as good as you know you should, we’re here to lend a hand. To help you discover those root issues, the deeper issues that are behind the nagging symptoms.
