How to Full Body Detox and Feel Your Best

The New Year is just around the corner. No doubt we will find ourselves surrounded by the temptations of holiday parties and all of the treats that come with the holiday season. All of the processed foods and sugar can really stress the body. But what if you could do something amazing and exciting for yourself this New Year that will help you lose weight, have clarity of mind and really boost your energy? I invite you to start a 21-day program with me from Standard Process and I’ll show you how to full body detox!

 

Why Standard Process?

It is by far the best detox that I am aware of: the gold standard, you might say. Standard Process focuses on whole, organic and unprocessed foods and uses only whole food and organic ingredients in its supplements. For years and years, I have heard about the Standard Process 21-day Purification Program. I put off getting the program as I already offered a 10-day detox from another company, but, recently, I finally took the leap and ordered the Standard Process program.

 

Where Do All the Toxins Come From?

There are many toxins in our processed foods, environment, and even hair, makeup and skin products. Furthermore, a lot of our fruits and vegetables, which you would think are good for us, are loaded with pesticides. Even the fire retardants on our mattresses, glue in our carpet, and chemicals in our dryer sheets can really damage our bodies. These toxins virtually overload our bodies, especially the liver. As the liver becomes overloaded, toxins can have a bigger effect on our immune system, endocrine system, joints and even brain.

What Benefits Should You Expect from Purification?

Besides eliminating toxins from the diet during the purification process, the Standard Process Purification Program stimulates specific detoxification organs in the body, including the liver, kidneys, and small and large intestine. In fact, many who have finished the purification program report these benefits:
• Increased energy and vitality
• Better digestion
• Less bloating
• Improved weight management
• Clearer skin
• Shinier hair
• Better sleep
• Clearer thinking

 

So, What Do You Need to Actually Do?

Your first question is probably how complicated is this? Not complicated at all! Essentially, you simply eat whole organic food while thow to full body detoxaking some supplements and drink plenty of water. The program comes with a guide that explains everything you need to do from day one through day 21. It gives you shopping guidance for what to keep in the kitchen, instructions on what and how much to eat, and recipes for delicious purification-friendly meals. The first 10 days you’ll eat selected fruits and vegetables. Then, on day 11, lean proteins are introduced to your diet.

 

What Physical Changes Will You Experience?

Two of the effects of the program will be increased urination and bowel movements. These are natural outcomes of purification and should not interfere with your daily activities. In rare cases, some participants have experienced a throbbing sensation in the head, generalized aches, itchy skin, rashes or fatigue. These occurrences typically subsided in a couple of days during a full body purification.

 

You’ll Have Plenty of Support

With Standard Process, there is an app for 24-hour mobile support available on Google Play and The App Store. With the app, you can:
• Get daily support and tips

Clean Living: An Important Truth You Need to Know

Are you concerned about clean living? To many people, clean living is about staying mindful – mindful of what you put in and on your body.

When choosing what to eat and drink as well as what products to use, you may consider the number of calories, how processed things are and whether there is a lot of sugar or other refined carbohydrates.

However, one very important issue to consider when thinking about eating and drinking healthfully and choosing products is the issue of endocrine disruptors.

10 Wonderful Ways Yoga Improves Your Health

Have you noticed how good you feel after practicing yoga? Your whole body and mind are completely relaxed. Not only does it make you feel good, but there are many health benefits of yoga.

I love yoga because it’s all about living – and practicing – your best life. It’s a total mind-body workout that combines strengthening and stretching with deep breathing and meditation. So it’s an effective way to stay healthy and happy – every day.

Did you know yoga has been around for more than 5,000 years and there are more than 100 different forms? Some are face-paced and intense. Others are gentle and relaxing. There’s a good reason that more than 20 million Americans practice yoga.

If you’re new to yoga, I encourage you to start slowly and build. I think you’ll be amazed at the effects regular practice will have on your body and mind.

If you practice regularly, you’ve probably noticed the many health benefits of yoga, including sleeping better, getting fewer colds and just feeling more relaxed and less stressed.

How to Forgive and Accept to Live Your Best Life

“Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different, it’s accepting the past for what it was, and using this moment and this time to help yourself move forward.” – Oprah Winfrey

Accept what is

I have always loved that quote.

I think there is something so true about acceptance being a huge part of forgiveness. It means that you can see the past experience truthfully and authentically. You can see the good, the bad, the ways in which you may have been an innocent victim, and the ways in which you may have contributed to the situation.

Eventually, you can see the ways that you have grown, learned or expanded your emotional intelligence through the experience. You might also see where you may need to have better boundaries or make different choices for the future.

How to Create Meaningful Change with Positive Affirmations

How many times have you heard quotes like “You are what you think” or “What you think you become”? We even have a sign hanging in our office that says: “The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.”

I remember in chiropractic school, I came across a book by Louise Hay, called You Can Heal Your Life. It was full of positive affirmations that I loved reading. However, I was still full of negative self-talk in my normal life. I was always a positive person in the world, but I really had a talent for beating myself up in every way.

positive affirmationsThe practice of transforming your thoughts

It wasn’t until I really started practicing yoga and meditation, that I began to understand and feel that by transforming your thoughts, you can transform your life. I still love that book. It got me thinking about transforming thoughts into a more positive outlook.
