Detoxing For Health - Creating Wellness
Following a practitioner led detox diet can be one of the most effective strategies for rapidly improving the state of your health. Why involve your holistic practitioner? Simply put, they can help you design the best detox for you, taking into account your lifestyle, current health challenges and overall health goals. Not only that, but a practitioner is a valuable resource who can check progress and help get you back on course, should the need arise. But more about this later – let’s first discuss the health benefits of detox.
The Main Features of a Detox Program are:
- Reducing the exposure to toxins through dietary and lifestyle changes such as getting adequate sleep & drinking water
- Reducing bad bacteria and waste from your digestive system with a colon cleanse
- Rebuilding and renewing your digestive lining, replacing the bad bacteria with healthy bacteria and improving your digestive function
- Helping your body release toxins more effectively with a liver detox diet improving liver function from high phytonutirent foods
- The nutritional benefits of a full body detox removing processed foods & eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables
Toxins come in two categories, environmental (external) and endogenous (made in your body). Environmental toxins include things like heavy metals, chemicals, drugs, bacterial and microbial toxins. These are present in the air, water and food that we consume. Endogenous toxins include hormones and other chemicals that are produced in the body and chemicals produced by bacteria in your digestive system that enters the blood stream.
So Why Do I Need to Detox?
Toxins build up in the body over time. Detox is designed to aid removal of these toxins from within the body quickly and efficiently with a colon cleansing diet and a liver detox diet. Detoxing has amazing benefits for all who undertake it, but how do you know if you really should detox? Do you want to feel healthier?
Symptoms and Signs of Toxicity
Any disease can be made worse by toxicity; however, some of the most common signs and symptoms of too much toxicity in the body include:
- Regular headaches
- Muscle aching and weakness
- Nerve pain or numbness
- Recurrent infections
- Poor short-term memory and concentration
- Sensitivity to environmental chemicals, odours and potentially foods
- Chronic fatigue and lethargy
- Anxiety and/or mood swings
- Kidney problems
- Certain medical conditions
The Two Main Factors That Influence Toxic Load
There are two main factors that influence your body’s toxic load, and the impact this has on your health. The first is the amount and type of toxin exposure. The second relates to your body’s ability to detoxify. Two people with similar toxic exposure can respond very differently to a detox, with one having no noticeable effects and the other developing chronic illness and needing additional help. The first person has a better capacity to detoxify. If you choose to embark on a colon and liver detox diet program with me then you will be given a program designed to address both issues, by reducing your toxic exposure, and also improving your detoxification ability.

Express Cleanse
For those looking to loose their last few kilos with some extra support. We use a clean, natural diet and herbs and nutrients scientifically formulated to support a healthy digestive system, enhance detoxification and assist the elimination of heavy metals from the body. There are ingredients to help alkalise the urine and support the elimination of toxins via the kidneys. Urine alkalisation enhances the elimination of toxins during detoxification. This includes colon cleansing diet supplements and liver detox diet supplements.
Comprehensive Supported Detox
Simple 3 Stage Strategy for Safe, Effective and Comprehensive Detoxification
Assessment – We either use pathology lab testing like stool analysis or the organic acids test & heavy metal testing to assess dysbiosis (intestinal dysfunction caused by an imbalance in gut bacteria, candida or parasites) & severity of toxicity. This will help indicate the level of detox needed by each individual client.
Stage 1 – Remove or dramatically reduce the level of dysbiotic bacteria, fungi and parasitic organisms that may be present in the gut. Removes waste & toxins being produced by dysbiotic organisms. This is the colon cleansing diet phase.
Stage 2 – Renew: once the dysbiosis has been reduced the aim is to re-inoculate the digestive system with beneficial (probiotic) bacteria and to support the integrity of the gut lining with glutamine or sulforaphane and other nutrients. This renews tissue health by helping to clear stored heavy metals and renews and restores the acid/alkaline balance of the body.
Stage 3 – Release: the final stage of detoxification is designed to enhance the capacity and function of the body’s waste removal systems – predominantly the liver, gall bladder and kidneys. In this stage the focus is on increasing the release of toxins stored in the body, as well as increasing the release of bile to facilitate excretion of waste via the faeces. This is the liver detox diet phase.
Final Assessment – Re-test for dysbiosis & dietary tactics going forward to prevent returning to a state where detox support is needed to remove waste products.
