In Chinese Medicine theory, spring is the time of year in which liver function and detoxification are most active. This is one of the many reasons why spring is the perfect time of the year to do a gentle detox.
The word “detox” is generally associated with trendy juice cleanses... but there are much more effective ways to flush out toxins!
While our bodies are equipped to handle detoxification, the amount of chemicals we are exposed to in modern living makes it much harder for our detox organs to keep up. Therefore it is important to give your body, most importantly your liver, a break to regenerate.
Your body has four major detoxification organs - liver, kidneys, digestive system, and skin. All of these should be supported, especially in the spring, after the preservation period of winter.
Here are our top tips for a gentle spring detox:
1. Support the liver by supplementing with liposomal glutathione (a master detoxifier) and vitamin C.
2. Eat steamed cruciferous vegetables daily (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprouts) and load up on greens. Leafy greens are high in chlorophyll, which helps neutralize heavy metals, chemicals, and pesticides in the body.
3. Aid kidney function by consuming beets, garlic, ginger, and fresh herbs.
4. Use a detox binder, like activated charcoal, to help collect toxins being released and then eliminated through your waste.
5. Consume gut healing foods such as fish oils, sauerkraut, prebiotics, and resistant starches.
6. Get sweating to open your detox pathways - exercise and Infrared saunas are the best.
7. Minimize your exposure to chemicals and inflammatory foods - such as sugar, alcohol, conventional coffee, gluten, and processed foods.
8. Drink filtered water to help flush your system.
9. Add some liver cleansing teas to your routine, such as dandelion root.
10. Stimulate your lymphatic system by dry brushing.
Take a few weeks this spring to allow your body to regenerate and heal. If you notice the benefits, these are all habits that will benefit you to integrate long-term!

Are you struggling with fatigue, brain fog, digestive troubles or anxiety? If so, it may be time to inquire about testing for heavy metals in your system, and embarking on a detox protocol.
Almost everyone has heavy metals accumulating in their bodies from the food, water, environment and products we use. Lowering your heavy metal load supports better cellular function, reduces free radicals, supports your immunity, and aids cognitive function. Making changes to support natural detox pathways often results in more energy, better sleep, smoother digestion, weight loss, clearer skin and lower inflammation.
The more quickly or aggressively you jump into a detox plan, the more likely you are to experience significant side effects - including nausea, headaches, diarrhea or a metallic, sour taste in the mouth. To support your body through the process, it’s best to detox slowly and gradually. More aggressive tactics that involve chelation therapy or specific supplements should be conducted by your doctor.

Below are 10 facts you need to know about what autoimmune diseases are, how they work, and what you can do to ID them.
1. The immune system guards you against organisms by releasing antibodies in the blood to neutralize threats/invaders. Sometimes the immune system mistakes healthy cells for an invader and sends antibodies to attack them, which is what happens when you have an autoimmune disease.
2. There is a genetic component that can predispose you to develop autoimmune conditions.
3. Oftentimes symptoms can appear suddenly. Scientists are studying whether viruses or infections could be the trigger, such as the flu.
4. Women are more susceptible to developing autoimmune diseases. 75% of the sufferers in the US are women.
5. A lot of autoimmune conditions present themselves with similar symptoms, such as GI issues (Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, celiac), fatigue (celiac, lupus, MS, hashimoto's), or joint pain (rheumatoid arthritis, MS).
6. Most autoimmune diseases involve GI issues, as 70% of the immune system resides in the gut. The gut should always be taken into consideration and healed.
7. Our overexposure to antibiotics can trigger autoimmunity.
8. There is no perfect test to uncover autoimmune disease, but the presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in a blood test is the best indicator.
9. Misdiagnosis is very common, and oftentimes autoimmunity can go undiagnosed for years. Follow your instinct if you suspect something is off, and ask to get tested.
10. Scientists are researching ways to "reeducate" the immune system to overcome autoimmunity.

Why is a Health Coach crucial to your success?
A Health Coach provides continuous support to help you implement doctor recommendations and healthy strategies into your lifestyle (i.e. diet, sleep, exercise, stress management). They are your partner and health advocate, and will work closely with you to guide you towards optimal health. They bridge the gap between your doctor’s recommendations and your everyday life, and help you to put ideas into practice at your own pace based upon your goals and preferences.
Studies show that working with a Health Coach significantly improves eating habits, quality of life, blood markers, and mental health. It is often through small, incremental, and enjoyable changes in our ordinary lives that extraordinary results occur!

Did you know there's a starch that can help restore your microbiome and support optimal health? Let's talk about Resistant Starch.
Resistant starch is a form of fiber that the good bacteria in your colon feast on. It moves through your stomach to your colon unbroken, and is considered a prebiotic fiber... meaning its food for the probiotics that live in your gut and that you want to thrive.
Resistant starch strengthens gut motility and increases the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) - specifically Butyrate - which lowers inflammation, supports your metabolism, and promotes brain health. Since it isn't digested and broken down like a typical carbohydrate, it does not spike your blood sugar. It can actually help control blood sugar regulation and help manage diabetes.
The best sources of resistant starch are raw potato starch flour, acacia fiber, green bananas, plantain flour, lentils, and cooked and then cooled potatoes. Cooking or heating destroys most resistant starches, but you can recover the resistant starch in some foods by letting them cool after cooking (hence why we recommend cooked and then cooled potatoes).
Everyone is different, so some people may feel the benefits immediately while others may need time for the body to get used to resistant starch. We always recommend starting slow and then building up. We suggest 1 tbsp of raw potato starch every other day to start.
