How is your RECOVERY & REPAIR?

I am on a mission to help ambitious individuals get FIT and HEALTHY!

So often we depend on exercising more to get healthy but sometimes (most time) MORE is NOT better. As a health “detective”, we use functional lab testing and other nutritional therapy assessments to collect clues to individual’s imbalances or contributors to their METABOLIC CHAOS®. Every client seems to be experiencing unknown hidden sources of CHRONIC stress as with mold toxicity, yeast overgrowth and H.pylori. Chronic stress impacts the WHOLE you for sure. We need to identify these hidden harmful toxins that are overloading our liver detoxification system and creating chronic stress to our entire body -and mind!

DETOXIFICATION SITES OF THE BODY

Detoxification on the other hand, is the metabolic transformation of a substance, usually from one thing into another. It occurs mainly in the following places in the body:

Liver – Phase 1 and phase 2 detoxification help to package and transform substances that are not easy to eliminate via the cleansing pathways.
Kidneys – Part of phase 3 of detoxification, where further filtration occurs.
Mucous Membranes – Part of phase 3 of detoxification, this is most predominate in the gut. Phase 3 is the final stage of detoxification before cleansing.
Various cells in the body – All aid in the detoxification process.

“Both cleansing and detoxification are deeply connected. They are both extremely inhibited by 5 occurrences that can happen in our bodies.”

REDUCED ABILITY TO CLEANSE AND DETOXIFY

One of my favorite topics to work on with clients is their sources of CHRONIC stress (internal and external). The type on non-stop, ongoing, constant stress that doesn’t stop (leaky faucet) STRESS…

“This is the #1 problem for the body, and unfortunately, because we live in today’s industrialization era we are bombarded. The body doesn’t differentiate stressors as chemical, emotional or physical. It puts all stress into the same mixing pot. So you could be having an altercation with your mother-in-law, be exposed to high levels of pollutants, or injure your leg. All of these instances would cause stress and significantly inhibit your ability to transform (detox) and eliminate (cleanse).

“Stress is now being touted as the #1 cause of disease in the modern world. Something very interesting to note for women with hormonal problems, specifically those with estrogen dominance; is that with increasing stress, our adrenals produce increased cortisol. Increased cortisol depletes your progesterone levels, which can leave you with a relative progesterone deficiency. This can severely aggravate estrogen dominance related issues such as Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.”

To get started on a detox protocol, we need to open up the drainage pathways by making sure we are sweating, breathing, peeing, and pooping properly. I find using a Castor Oil Pack from the Queen of Thrones is very simple, affordable, and effective to get things moving in the body. Plus, we need a toxic binder to help grab all those toxins being released in the body – they need an escort to move on out. Chlorella Algae is on of my favorite ingredients to help with toxins as a binder plus Bentonite Clay, and Activated Charcoal. ENERGYbits grows their own algae and uses chlorella algae in their RECOVERYbits.

Athletes need to be more aware and concerned of not just their training but also fueling and recovery/repair. So many athletes are FIT but NOT healthy as the over train and under recover which may not show up this season but years down the road the aging process will be impacted.

Here is a little bit more info on Chlorella Algae from www.energybits.com–

Chlorella algae is a miracle worker when it comes to ridding your body of harmful toxins, but did you know that it can also help boost digestive and immune health? Named by the United Nations as “the most nutrient-dense food in the world” the benefits of algae have been widely acclaimed in Asia for over 50 years.
