12 Simple Detox Tips to Refresh Your Body for Spring!

What’s the big deal with HEAVY METALS, TOXINS, & DETOXIFICATION?

While it is talked about quite a lot, it is not something to gloss over. We all have a toxic threshold...some reach it far easier and some it takes time...rest assured though, if we don't heed to the importance of ridding as much as possible from our lives, it will catch up to us...it will. 

​

• Common toxins include mercury, lead, aluminum, pesticides, petrochemicals, and synthetic chemicals from household cleaning products, make-up, lotions, deodorants, perfumes..so much! 
• Toxic buildup can contribute to digestive upsets, fatigue, brain fog, hormone imbalances, insulin resistance, weight gain and/or fat loss resistance, weakened immunity leading to autoimmune diseases and more.
• The body has natural detox pathways, but they can become sluggish with all of the above & without proper support.
• Routine cleansing...and as Dietitian, I am ALWAYS going to point you to targeted nutrition support FIRST!, herbs, essential oils, exercise, breath-work, supplements & various other holistic health modalities are key to that “I feel so good!” feeling! 

In our day and time, no matter how “healthy” we think we are, we cannot escape all the things that can contribute to those symptoms above. Sometimes we have to dedicate extra time to our “clean-up” and sometimes we need to change what we’re allowing in, on or even around our bodies!

12 DAILY HABITS FOR HEALTHY DETOXIFICATION

Practices like dry brushing, sweating through exercise or saunas, and staying hydrated can help your body release toxins more efficiently.  Here are some of the top tips that I     incorporate each day....don't get overwhelmed! Pick 1-2 things you can easily incorporate in to your lifestyle. Use timers, lists, reminders etc to begin to build your new habits. 

1. Dry brush daily with Cypress and Grapefruit *essential oils to stimulate lymphatic flow and promote toxin release.
2. Sweat regularly through exercise, hot yoga, or saunas to encourage toxin elimination through the skin.
3. Stay hydrated with plenty of water, adding Mineral Essence to replenish vital minerals and support detox processes.
4. Support lymphatic health with gentle movement like rebounding, yoga, or stretching/foam rolling, red light therapy etc to promote fluid circulation.
5. Eat a whole foods diet rich in antioxidants, fiber, probiotics and detoxifying foods like leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, berries, citrus fruits & healthy fats from plant based sources like avocados, nuts etc 
6. Practice mindful breathing or meditation to reduce stress and support the body’s natural detox functions. Pair with Frankincense, Valor, or Peace & Calming oil to calm the nervous system.
7. Use essential oils like Lemon, Peppermint, and Rosemary to stimulate detoxification and clear the mind.
8. Take Epsom Salt Baths  which provides magnesium, which aids detoxification. 
9. Use Natural Cleaning & Beauty Products  that avoid harmful chemicals.
10. Drink Green Tea or Dandelion Tea  to support liver function.
11. Avoid Alcohol  to reduce toxin buildup. I  know this is a hard one for some to hear, but I  must be honest, this is one of largest causes of toxic overload, weight gain and so much more. I  see it often in my practice. Be very mindful friends:) 
12. Get quality sleep to allow the body’s natural repair and detox processes to occur overnight. If needed, add Super Magnesium and/or Deep Night Essence supplements to improve sleep.

True cleansing does not happen overnight, but the results…a clearer mind, more energy, and that “pep in your step”, are well worth the effort! 
​
​*its important to note that even with essential oils like those mentioned above, there are many on the market that ARE full of toxins, chemicals etc..the very things we are trying to avoid. I  have used Young Living for 13 years and will continue to. Grab any of those oils above here OR scroll down for some kit options!
