Detoxing and cleansing are SUCH buzz words and we're here to change that. Why? Because ensuring your detoxification pathways are functioning optimally are fundamental to optimal health.
After seeing the same concerns in clinic on a daily basis PLUS my own prior health concerns, I started spending hours and hours researching toxins - where they're coming from and what they're doing to our body.
Let's dive into where you may be exposed to toxins!
- Clothing - yes you read that correctly. Exercise wear is the perfect example. Not only is it mostly (if not all) made out of plastic (yikes) and the dyes are often full of heavy metals and chemicals. Wearing these on you skin = direct absorption into the body. A study on Shein clothing revealed some of their kids outfits contained over 20 times more than the recommended limit. Once heavy metals enter the body, they're stubborn to leave so ensuring you're supporting your detox pathways daily is essential.
- Water - if you don't own a water filter, it's time to make the investment. Water contains a cocktail of chemicals and these disrupt our microbiome as well as deplete essential nutritional elements. I personally recommend Alkaway filters.
- Food - even fresh produce is often covered in pesticides. One study revealed ultrasonic cleaning and a food ozonator removed 16 pesticides from a strawberry...16!!! As you can imagine, if one strawberry can contain 16 pesticides, imagine how many things you're exposed to via daily meals.
This isn't to scare you, it's to highlight how important reducing toxic burden on your body is. If you don't your body responds by sending you alarm bells (e.g. low energy, breakouts, acne, gut problems, poor immunity, heavy, painful or even missing periods).
