Understanding metabolic detoxification

A few tips from a detoxification conference we attended confirms why our Smart Detox Action Plan is such a valuable tool to incorporate into your lifestyle twice a year. It is extremely safe, gentle on the organs, and offers three different protocols based upon individual need.

• What impairs detoxification?? Diet, Lifestyle, Exposure to Toxins, Nutrient Deficiencies, Genetic Polymorphisms, Medications.
  
  
• Fasts devoid of protein and liquid only detox protocols are not optimal. You need energy from macro and micro nutrients to see a positive outcome and reduce stress on your organs.
  
  
• Many of us have detectable levels of chemicals similar to that of Vietnam Vets with Agent Orange issues. For example, a study in the August issue of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring found that childhood leukemia patients had highly elevated levels of household pesticides in their urine compared to children without leukemia.
  
  
• The toxins nestle into fat cells as the bodies way of protecting them from the rest of the body.
  
  
• Phase 1, 2, and 3 of detoxification requires taking a fat soluble toxin and turning it into a water soluble toxin so it can be excreted through kidney/urine/g.i. tract. Balancing the three phases is crucial or you can end up recirculating an even more potent toxin back into your body if it is unable to be excreted.
  
  
• Many of the nutrient suggestions we make in Smart Detox mirror the experts views: magnesium glycinate is great for phase 1 & 2 support; glycine in particular for phase 2; Tea, Advaclear, Ultraclear, and Phytoganix provide phenomenal macro and micronutrients to support all three detox phases.
