Detoxification (Biotransformation)
When toxins accumulate in the body, things start to go awry. If you suffer from ear pain, loss of peripheral vision, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, twitching, or any such symptoms, you might have some toxins that have built up in your body.
Biotransformation is the conversion of toxic substances to non-toxic substances. While this process takes place primarily in two sites—the liver and the intestinal mucosal wall—many systems of the body are involved. The body has some very intricate processes to deal with all the substances to which we are exposed — from our food to environmental chemicals, hormones, and pesticides.
In your customized detox program, we will reduce the burden on the digestive system and liver, while supporting our body with the proper vitamins and minerals through a nutrient-rich diet and supplements. This often starts with determining if your body’s detoxification pathways are able to undergo the burden of a detoxification program, followed by reducing the amount and types of foods eaten. We also encourage good hydration for an effective detoxification.
