Many think of digestive issues causing minor things, such as stomach pains and discomforts, but problems with digestive health have been linked to serious issues throughout a person's body. Although foods we eat may have small amounts of toxins, synthetic ingredients, and even poisons, our digestive system does a decent job of filtering most of that out. When things aren't working properly food can rot internally instead of being digested, bad bacteria can increase, and you can have some serious side effects and potential for diseases.
One way to help your body fight off a build up of toxins is by putting yourself through a detox. Unfortunately the internet is full of detox "fad" options, which potentially may be further damaging. A detox plan should be based on the individual, their concerns, ailments, and goals, but also with other health situations in mind.
Our goal is to make a detox plan that will meet your health expectations, with minimal risk and side effects.
