Welcome 2019!

​Ah, New Years again—a time to restart those resolutions from last year or maybe the year before.  You know – "loose that fat", "trim those extra pounds", "etc.".  You may have dieted and exercised, putting in all that effort - and to only have disappointing results.  It’s not all about fat and diets.  So, then what’s the problem?  There is an excellent possibility that you are overloaded with TOXINS. 

Never in human history have we been exposed to such high levels of toxins.  There has been an explosion in the number of studies showing the effects of these environmental chemicals on human health.  There are estimated to be approximately 100,000 chemicals now in commerce, 30,000 of which are in common use and only about 3, 500 of which have been safely tested. Throughout our lives, we are in constant contact with environmental toxins.  It’s hard to believe that they are playing a role in modern illness and Neolithic diseases.  Some examples of how these toxins are negatively affecting our health:

• Yes, you guessed it – WEIGHT GAIN! Obesity or poor weight management
• Fatigue, chronic or otherwise
• Sleep issues, going to sleep or staying asleep  
• Digestive problems such as constipation, gas and/or bloating
• Cognitive problems: brain fog, memory problem
• Headaches and/or migraines
• Leaky gut/malabsorption/GI inflammation
• And, much, much more

A second major issue is your microbiome that resides in your gut. These are the army of microbes that fight-off germs, produce neurotransmitters and are directly responsible for the health of your immune system.  Unfortunately, if you have been on antibiotics, (especially multiple times or long-term use) you may have compromised your microbiome, and then the health issues can begin to take a foothold.  This can become a very serious issue if not addressed properly.
