Healthy Detoxing

---

There are many different types of detox's, so how do you know which one is best for you? It depends on your medical history, living environment, toxin exposures, and also your health goals. Whether it's food or mold allergies, or heavy metals there are many different factors to consider, so this is carefully considered during a consultation.

That being said, there are a number of different detox's that would likely improve many health conditions. Sometimes it's a good idea for an individual to start with a detox before adding in new supplements as this may help them better absorb vitamins and nutrients. This approach is evaluated while working with clients.

A liver cleanse can help support your liver in its natural detox process, improving its ability to filter out toxins. Benefits may include better digestion, increased energy, clearer skin, and a healthier metabolism. The liver also produces bile, which aids in digesting fats, so a cleanse may help improve this function.

A food sensitivity diet can be designed by a Certified Nutritionist to help reduce stress on the body caused by allergies to certain foods. Careful evaluation of symptoms and food allergies are considered when working with clients. A certain type of weekly meal plan is created for the individual, along with recommendations for helpful supplements to support digestion and overall health and wellness.

 If you're experiencing symptoms like fatigue, memory issues, headaches, joint pain, or tingling, heavy metal toxicity could be a factor. You may also want to consider a detox if you've been exposed to pollution, consumed large amounts of mercury containing foods (such as Ahi Tuna or Swordfish), or worked with materials like lead or other heavy metals. Past dental work with mercury fillings or long-term use of certain medications, or even low quality supplements can also contribute to metal buildup. Ongoing risks, like living in polluted areas can lead to heavy metal build up and toxicity as well.

Parasites are often considered to be a third-world problem because of the fact that they can be more prevalent in places with less-practiced hygiene, and without access to clean water and food sources. However, parasites are more common than you might think! Hawaii especially, being a tropical region where is can be easy for parasites to thrive and multiply and with many outdoor activities that allow for human exposure. 

Parasites in Hawaii can include Giardia, Toxoplasmosis, Hookworms, Pinworms, Strongyloides, Schistosomiasis, Leptospirosis, Malaria (which is rare), and external parasites that may carry diseases like bedbugs, fleas, and ticks. There is a variety of different cleanses, vitamins and herbal supplements to effectively support parasite protection and detoxification. If you've never done one, it might be time to consider one.
