fit&HEALTHY Detoxing for Optimal Health Jennifer Wolfe, MS, CSCS, PPSC
Here are signs that your body isn’t functioning properly from too much toxic load and it’s time for a purposeful detox: • Digestive distress such as IBS, acid reflux, constipation, indigestion, or food allergies/intolerances • Belly bloat or excess weight • Headaches • Skin problems • Poor sleep and fatigue • Mood swings, anxiety, or depression • Emotional eating • Hormonal imbalances
Time to get your body back on track? Look for a detox program that offers all natural solutions that your body will recognize to support its innate processes. A whole food detox or a juice cleanse are two top choices that offer high amounts of nutrients. Give your body what it needs to eliminate the toxic load and you will start to feel better from the inside out!
What results should I expect from a whole food detox or a juice cleanse program?

ave you tried a detox or cleanse? 11 years ago, a friend wanted me to look into cleanses and detoxing. My first thought was that your body is supposed to cleanse itself and doing a detox program sounded extreme. After much research, I realize that our bodies can benefit from a healthful detoxification process. Your body is combating stresses and toxins from poor food choices and the environment on a daily basis. Effective cleansing gives your body a chance to eliminate toxic load so it can begin to heal itself from the inside.
Why detox? Toxins are everywhere in our world from cleaning and beauty products to pesticide, plastics and air we breathe. Even though our bodies are designed to detox naturally there can be a build up due to the constant amount of toxins we are exposed to. With the gradual build up of toxins come imbalances in the body. 16 | Summer 2021
