From the pollution-filled air we breathe, to the pesticide laden produce and the antibiotic filled cows/pigs/chickens we eat,

From our tin cans being lined with BPA to our beauty care products being full of un-FDA regulated ingredients like lead,

From the EMFs surrounding us damn near all the time doing damage on a cellular micro level -- the struggle is REAL.

It’s a full time job keeping up with detoxification!

AND I TRULY BELIEVE THAT DETOXIFICATION IS THE MISSING PIECE OF THE WELLNESS PUZZLE FOR MANY PEOPLE, SIMPLY BECAUSE WE DON’T KNOW HOW INUNDATED WITH TOXINS WE ARE

I do lots of things on the daily to help my body detoxify, and I’m going to share some of those with you here today! I do a much deeper dive into detoxification in my Hormone Healing Secrets Course, so if you're looking to start healing your hormones, I recommend checking it out!

Detoxify Your Life

SHILAJIT

Shilajit is a complete trace mineral source. We are so miserably depleted of minerals for several reasons including lifestyle choices (too much coffee, drinking booze, eating the SAD diet, not eating organic produce) and the fact that our soil is so devoid of the many minerals it used to have. Minerals are the currency of the body. When we don’t have enough minerals circulating, our bodies simply cannot carry out all of the normal functions it needs to do on a daily basis, and forget about detoxing. There is no reserve left. The body will take what it needs to keep you ALIVE before it will usher in energy and resources (aka MINERALS) to help you do the other (just as necessary!) things like detoxing and ridding the body of garbage. Minerals are SO important. Get yourself some Shilajit! I cannot say enough how much I love this product. I feel it work a few minutes after I take it. It energizes me, clears my mind, and makes me wildly productive. This one is my favorite.

SAUNA

Sweating is maybe thee best way to detox. The skin is one of our largest organs of detoxification. You know how we are able to deliver medications into the body via the skin? Like say a nicotine patch or a fentanyl patch? Just as the skin lets things in, it also lets things out. Things like toxins! Yay! I like an infrared sauna as it penetrates the skin on a deeper level and slowly heats you up gradually over time. Its also a wonderful time to meditate, deep breathe, read, think, and slow down. 30-40 minutes is all you need!

TRS

Game changer. Absolute game changer right here. Soooo long story short -- we have so many heavy metals in our bodies nowadays. Heavy metal toxicity is nothing to fuck around with. Some symptoms include but are not limited to brain fog, dizziness, headaches, digestive issues, unexplained infertility. TRS is a zeolite delivery system. Zeolites are minerals that come from the earth that are extremely negatively charged in nature. They are unique because of their molecular structure. Zeolites are shaped somewhat like a soccer ball, with a large space to absorb and bind toxins. Toxic substances tend to be quite positively charged in nature. Remember back in high school chemistry where we learned that opposites attract? Well its as true today as it was then! A negatively charged particle will attract a positively charged particle. The result is a safe removal of toxins such as lead, arsenic, mercury, barium, strontium, cadmium, uranium, aluminum, galinium, cesium, aflotoxins from yeast/mold, mycotoxins, and pesticides/herbicides such as Round-Up from the body. The TRS delivery system is bound to water molecules so the zeolites are able to go anywhere in the body where the toxins may be, and allows for the safe removal of these poisons by way of urine and feces. Order TRS from my website here.

PECTASOL-C

Pectasol-C is low molecular weight citrus pectin from the pith of citrus fruits like lemons and limes. It is a natural inhibitor of galectin-3 (gal-3), which is a protein involved in many metabolic processes. By modifying the circulating levels of gal-3, we experience healthy aging, enhanced immune system response, enhanced cardiovascular health and improved cellular function. Pectasol-C is also a binder, meaning it binds to heavy metals as well as environmental toxins so that we can safely eliminate them from the body. It’s important to take Pectasol-C away from food and supplements, as it will bind to the nutrients and escort them out of the body. 45 minutes before a meal/supps or 2 hours after a meal/supps is fine. Bonus points if you take it just before your sauna! This is the only one I recommend.

DRY BRUSHING

I wrote a blog post awhile back all about the lymphatic system and how important it is, so make sure you check it out here. Dry brushing is one of the easiest and most cost effective ways to show your lymph some love. Our lymph system is one of our circulatory systems in the body, whose job is to help eliminate metabolic and cellular waste. But the poor lymph system doesn’t have a pump like the heart does. It’s easy for the lymphatic system to become stagnant. Using a dry brush is a fabulous and easy way to keep it stimulated and moving. I like to dry brush before I sauna or before I shower. It’s invigorating and lovely for brightening dull skin too! I like this one here.

POOPING

By now y’all know I’m a big fan of healthy bowels! Make sure to check out my other posts about poop here and here. Our colon is the toxic waste system of the body. It is ESSENTIAL that our bowels be moving daily and working efficiently. This is how we eliminate garbage from the body. Actual literal garbage. The body is brilliant and has a WHOLE SYSTEM devoted to removing toxic waste from the body. Make sure you are pooping daily! Drink enough water, consume 25-35g of fiber daily (check out my post on fiber here), eat high quality fats, move your body, and consume a high quality probiotic like my favorite spore-based probiotic from Just Thrive. Use code “abundant15” for 15% off your order!

These are the detoxification basics. There is so much more to discuss on the topic, but these are some practical tools you can implement today. It’s not only suggested that we take an active role in our detoxification, its imperative.

Even just choosing one of the above things will do wonders for your health. If you have any questions about anything, I’d be happy to talk to you about it more!
