10-day Real Food Detox

We are all burdened with toxins and regardless of our goals, a nutritionally supported detox can ensure your body is at peak performance while serving to refocus your diet.

Every year your body is burdened with 6 billion pounds of toxins released into the environment. Your liver and kidneys are equipped to do the dirty work but the demands far exceed the body’s ability to safely encapsulate and excrete toxins which means often our body is left susceptible to the influence of these invaders often having endocrine disrupting influence messing with your thyroid, sexual hormones, or driving insulin resistance. I recommend my nutritional detoxification program with Detox supplement packs as a semi-annual or quarterly reset for whole body health and as a way to stay focused and inspired by clean eating and whole real foods.

Some of the benefits associated with my detox program include:
• Slowing Down the Aging Process
• Improved Energy
• Mood Stability
• Weight Loss
• Reduced Joint and Muscle Pain
• Improved Sleep, Skin, and Digestion
• Cognitive Function and Memory Improvement

My 10-day Real Food Detox focuses on Resetting your Metabolism, Restoring your Digestion, and Renewing your Cellular health to reduce free radical exposure and safely enhance your body’s metabolic function. The bundled program includes my virtual class, a 30+ page ebook with recipes and protocol, and the supplement packs to support successful outcomes.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL LABS

A great annual assessment of whole body health is the Micronutrient Test blood test which assesses 35 different vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants as a comprehensive report card to your nutritional status. Your lab will be reviewed in a customized email providing understanding of trends of why you may be deficient in areas of expression as well as food-as-medicine recommendations and strategic supplement recommendations.

Note: I strongly recommend taking my Multidefense for at least 1 month leading up to the panel to cover nutritional support as a baseline, then the micronutrient test will be additional needs over a high quality multivitamin.

Some of the most common diseases states diabetes, heart disease, stroke, hypertension, and cancer, can be assessed with metabolic markers included in the Cardiometabolic Panel. This panel includes sensitive risk factors that can be used to develop interventions as powerful influencers on your health. The Cardiometabolic panel includes a blood sugar assessment with HgbA1C% for a 3-month measure as well as fasting insulin at other markers of metabolism such as adiponectin and leptin. Beyond the standard cholesterol screen provided, this panel includes lipoprotein particle size and cascade, as well as blood clot risk with LpA, and marker of methylation homocysteine. For an assessment of inflammation, this lab uses C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and an OmegaCheck score which measures your omega-3 anti-inflammatory to omega-6 proinflammatory ratio providing guidance on omega-3 supplementation need and diet strategy to reduce proinflammatory food sources.

Even if weight loss is not a focus, the Weight Loss Plus Advanced Metabolic Panel serves as a good general wellness assessment including markers for liver and kidney function, inflammation with CRP, fasting insulin, and thyroid markers.

For those looking to nerd out and thoroughly understand their genetic influence, the Nutrigenomic 55 SNP panel, looks at single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), or genetic variants that can accurately identifies sites of metabolic weakness. This genetic panel uses saliva swabs to evaluate 55 of the most common researched and SNPs that can affect a patient’s Methylation, Neurotransmitter, Mitochondria, Detoxification and Inflammatory Potential. Abnormalities in specific polymorphisms can negatively affect many physiological and biochemical processes. Overcoming these metabolic weaknesses with the right supplement regimen allows each patient to maximize their genetic variations (SNPs) and maintain optimal health.
