What is Detoxification and Why Do You Need It?


Living in today’s fast-paced world can build up toxins in our body and mind without even knowing it that can manifest into brain fog, sluggishness and that uncomfortable muffin top. 

 

Simple sneaky short cuts that creep in to get through the day like skipping meals, a cookie here, glass of wine there, mid afternoon coffee, and late nights are just some of the things that throw our body off course. Repeated daily, these little bad habits create bigger challenges where we find ourselves feeling worse not better. 

 

Incorporating a detox program into your routine can be a transformative step towards reclaiming your well-being. Let’s delve into the world of detoxification and explore its myriad benefits.

 

What is Detoxification and Why Do You Need It?

The stress of today’s unnaturally fast-paced society makes healthy choices feel impossible. Preparing balanced meals, sleeping eight hours a night, exercising daily, and practicing self-care is hard to squeeze in.

 

A detox program is a great way to reset your mind and body to help motivate you to make simple lifelong changes. Here’s what you need to know about detoxification and cleansing at Solaris Whole Health, and how it can help jump start healthier habits.

 

What is a Detox?

 

Most people think of a detox diet as a restrictive fad diet that you do for a short time before returning to unhealthy habits. While certain components of a detox plan can be temporary, it’s important to consider a detox as a fresh start.

 

A detox is a unique opportunity to redefine your relationship with food, movement, stress management, and more. It’s a chance to de-stress, get back to the basics, turn inward and put yourself first. At Solaris Whole Health, we think of a detox as a reset for the mind, body, and spirit.

 

Supporting your body’s natural detoxification processes involves not only targeted foods and supplements, but also encompasses rest, stress management, self-love, and acceptance. It encourages you to practice and adopt tools that you’ll incorporate into your life once the detox ends.

 

What Does Detoxification Mean?

Detoxification refers to a natural set of reactions run by your liver. The liver is our biggest fat burning organ. Detoxing  also involves the colon, kidneys, skin, and lungs. A detox helps the body process and prepare to expel chemical compounds and heavy metals that are harmful.

 

These toxins can come from many sources in our modern-day world, such as pesticides, plastics, personal hygiene products, cleaning supplies, and more. An accumulation of toxins over time burdens the liver and can lead to a host of health problems, such as weight gain and chronic diseases.

 

Similar to all aspects of health and wellness, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to detoxification. At Solaris Whole Health, we pride ourselves on taking a functional medicine approach.

 

We look at your biochemical individuality, genetics, lifestyle, stress, sleep, diet, and other personalized factors that impact detoxification.

 

Detoxification the Solaris Whole Health Way

Stress can come in many forms. We specialize in chronic stress for supporting detoxification and optimal health.

 

Many people are surprised to learn that exposure to toxins is a major form of physical stress placed on the body. The liver is forced to work overtime and struggles under an increased toxic load.

 

This type of stress can manifest. It causes chronic inflammation and prevents your body from being able to heal itself.

 

The inability to effectively detox can have ripple effects on other body systems, such as the thyroid, gut, adrenals, brain, hormones, and more. These negative effects can be typical when people embark on 1,3 and 7 days quick fix liquid or short term detoxing gimmicks. 

 

For this reason, our detox and cleansing program at Solaris Whole Health encompasses a whole-body and individualized approach. It includes nutrition and gentle movement and also hones in on supplementation, sleep, and stress management.

 

We strive to encourage supportive practices, such as journaling, therapeutic baths, sleep hygiene practices, and skin brushing to complement detoxification and promote self-care.

 

In addition, we put particular emphasis on phase two detoxification, which is the phase that attaches to and neutralizes toxins and other molecules in preparation for them to leave your body.

 

Mind-Body Detox

Detoxification is not only about releasing physical toxins that burden the liver. It also encompasses emotional and spiritual toxins that can profoundly slow down chemical reactions.

 

Along with medications, alcohol, toxic foods, and other tangible sources of toxins, our emotional and spiritual well-being is just as important a piece of the detox puzzle.

 

Solaris Whole Health’s approach to detoxification is where science and lifestyle meet. We work hand in hand with you to find doable and highly effective detoxification approaches and solutions and get to the root problems that might be underlying why you aren’t feeling your absolute best.

 

The solution might not be overnight. However, a gentle detox program is the beautiful start of a process that encompasses education, tools, and practice to last a lifetime.
