Nutrition and Detox

 Our world is riddled with hidden toxins that are crushing our health. Pesticide use is at an all time high, heavy metals are being found in all of our food groups and water systems, and toxic chemicals in plastics are leaching into our tissues and disrupting hormones. These are only a few examples of how chemicals are getting into our bodies and creating negative health effects at a massive scale. With cancer rates being the highest ever recorded in human history, it's time to educate yourself on how best to avoid it. Most cancers and diseases are preventable! The only cure is PREVENTION.  

Toxins don't only effect our adult health. It's affecting our children's health as well. Childhood rates of obesity, ADD/ADHD, mood disorders, autism, and cancer are on the rise and is not expected to slow down. CDC research is stating that  1 in 69 children have autism, and that number continually goes up! Behavioral issues in children can be directly correlated to brain function. Since our blood brain barrier is not fully established until the age of 7, it exposes their brains to all toxins and metals from the foods they are consuming, and the products we are putting on them. In our office we teach families how to detox the household, food, and everyday products. Then we detox the body and brain safely under the supervision of our doctors. Don't wait until they already have poor health. Build true inner health with the help of detoxing!

Cleansers, sanitizers,  and many cleaning products are filled with VOC's (volatile organic compounds) which are harmful and in high doses can cause harm to the DNA in cells. 

The skin is the largest absorbent organ of the body. Everything that goes onto your skin, goes directly into your bloodstream. Act like your skin is your second mouth, if you wouldn't eat/drink it, it should belong on your body. This includes makeup, lotions, shampoos, etc. 

According to the Environmental Working Group, there have been 315 pollutants found in America's tap water since 2004, and over half of these pollutants are completely unregulated and can legally exist in any amount. 

Commercial food companies are more interested in profits than in creating safe food. Pesticide use is at the highest rate in history with Glyphosate being the main ingredient used. Glyphosate has been proven in court to cause Lymphoma cancers and a slew of health problems both short and long term.

Non-stick teflon pans are not ideal to prepare foods. Not only are they made with cheap aluminum metals, they are coated in Teflon which is filled with PFOA's which is a suspected carcinogen.

Perfumes are full of chemicals that cause endocrine disruption. That means that they mimic our hormones and cause imbalances in the production of vital messenger systems. Over time, this can lead to issues in the hormone producing glands in the body.
