Happy spring! Have you thought about adding a spring detox to your weekly, monthly regimen? It’s time to boost your body. Let’s get you balanced, let’s reset, rejuvenate, and get you refreshed and energized. That’s what a spring detox can do, and I’m going to share with you seven amazing benefits of adding our Cleanse & Detox Kit to your shopping cart today. Our duo of products will help cleanse your lymphatics, your liver, your kidneys, and your gut health.

1. Purge Those Toxins

Overall, when you do a reset, a body detox, one of the most important things you’re doing is you’re removing toxins. And let’s think about it, every so often, every six months is a good time to do a reset. Basically, removing toxins is like vacuuming and dusting at home, but you’re doing it internally, within your body.

2. Increase Your Energy Levels

The second thing that a detox can do, especially when we’re targeting detoxing our colon and enhancing the detox pathways of our lymphatics and our kidneys and our liver, we can enhance our energy. So, you actually get an energy boost after you do a month of our Cleanse & Detoxx Kit, which is huge because a lot of folks coming out of the wintertime, and we’ve got the spring time change, it’s a good time to get energized, and so we have longer, lighter days, and you want to maximize your energy to enjoy these longer, lighter days.

3. Reset Your Metabolic Process

The third thing, and third benefit, is that detoxing, especially detoxing your liver, is really key for supporting weight management. So, if you’ve gained a few pounds over the winter months in kind of a hibernative state, by detoxing, you’re resetting your metabolic process. You’re actually allowing your liver to get detoxed, you’re invigorating those detox pathways in both the lymphatics, both your kidneys, and your colon and your liver. And by enhancing the liver process, you’re actually going to eliminate more toxins out of your bowels, but you’re also going to enhance the toxin release through your lymphatics.

So, I always recommend, with the kit, you also pair up any type of sweating exercises or sweat therapy [1], maybe take a hot bath or a sauna, because that’ll invigorate that detoxification.

4. Enhance Your Mental Clarity

Now, the fourth benefit here, and this is really key, is you are going to get an enhanced mental clarity. So, if you are looking for mental acuity, you want to have better, improved recall and memory, detoxing and getting rid of toxins and helping those detox pathways function better can actually dust off the cobwebs in your brain.

5. Support Your Digestive Health

Fifth, one of the other benefits is you are supporting your digestive health. A lot of times, folks don’t necessarily associate your liver with the beginning process of the lower GI tract, and your lower GI needs bile, which is produced by the liver. Bile collects within itself excess estrogens, it collects excess toxins, it’s cleansing the blood and it is removing toxins via the bile duct and the production of bile, which moves along the bowel. And the small intestine, large intestine are all highly benefited by bile production.

Bile is a very pH-balancing property. It actually can help heal that single-lining cell. The intestinal cellular wall can be enhanced and improved and healed by increasing your bile function. So, a good cleanse and detox is going to support that digestive health.

And as you’re moving your bowels more, more toxins are being eliminated and not reabsorbed, because that does happen. If you have a constipative state, we have a vascular channel that connects the rectum back to the liver, and so that a padded vein, that vascular channel, you can actually reabsorb toxins, which is not what we want to do. So, clearing and moving the colon, enhancing and invigorating your liver health is key.

6. Boost Your Immune State

Six. This, overall, when you detox your body, you are going to boost your immune state. So, this is really important because spring season tends to bring allergies and colds and some of the later stages of the flu. We see an enhanced immune function when you detox your full body, and that also enhances those pathways of detoxification, but your lymphatic system not only is a detox route, it’s also a function of your immune system. So, by clearing and supporting your lymphatics via our Cleanse product, you can actually help improve your lymphatic function and thereby supporting your immune state.

7. Get Your Glow On!

And last and final, your skin is going to glow when you do a detox, which is great because a lot of activities and social events are happening in the spring and into the summer season, and this is a great time just to kind of wash away the time of the winter and late fall, and really boost up your spring skincare.

So, I’m really excited to share with you these seven reasons. These are all powerful ways to reenergize your body, get refreshed and rejuvenated, and ultimately reset your detox pathways, supporting a spring detox.

So, make sure you click on the box below and you can order your Cleanse and Detoxx Kit today to get started on your spring detox.

Today, I’m really excited to share with you how to detox your body. Specific tips, how-to’s, some pitfalls, and also ways to maximize a good detox to support your overall health and wellness.

So, specifically, when you are looking at detoxing your body, I just want you to know that your body is automatically detoxing whether you choose a certain cleanse or detox program, but just know we have certain organs and systems within the body that are considered your detoxification organs and systems.

Detoxification Organs & Systems

Specifically, any detox is going to target several of these organs and systems. The most important of all of these systems is your lymphatic system. That is part of both your immune system and it is responsible for removing toxic waste, debris, pathogens, fat cells – even cancer cells exit the body through the lymphatic system. So, that’s one super important system. Another organ that is really critical is your liver.

Then we also have your digestive process, primarily your lower GI. The liver corresponds to that process, but that is definitely one that is really, really important to zero in on. Especially getting food moving and really supporting your bowel process. Then we also have your kidneys and your bladder, and even your lungs, so breathing, and your skin. And those all, collectively, comprise and make up your detox process.

6 Core Detox Tips

Hydrate

So, anytime we’re thinking about how do we support and detoxify the system, there’s really six core tips that I recommend. So first, you want to hydrate your body really well. The act of hydrating supports both the kidneys and the bladder, it supports the digestive process. So, we’re moving the bowel contents out of the small and large intestine, and it also supports the lymphatic process, especially when we’re looking at sweating and getting toxins out via the lymphatic process. We have to hydrate our body optimally for all of the detox organs and systems to function at their best.

Eat Clean Food

The second is what you’re intaking via food. You want to eat clean, healthy, organic, pesticide-free, herbicide- and insecticide-free foods. You want to, if you’re consuming animal protein, you want to really be aware of what your animal protein is eating. So, you want to limit the exposure to all of the toxins that can be entered or can get into our body via the food that we eat.

So, sometimes you might want to look at sourcing a CSA community farm or even consume your eggs or animal proteins and even your veggies through local farmers that you can see how they’re growing, you know their growing practices, and really limit that exposure to toxins that way.

Use Non-Toxic Personal Care Products

The third is to eliminate toxin exposure via not just food, but also your environment. Primarily, a lot of our toxin exposure is going to come in via the skin. So, this affects the lymphatic system because the lymphatic system sits superficially.

There’s two levels of the lymphatics. So, the top level sits right under your skin. It connects up with the skin and sweating, but it also is part of that whole absorption process. So, overloading your skin with chemicals from skincare products, the products you use to clean your teeth and use on your hair. So, just be aware of your everyday skincare products – the use items there can very much help support your detox program and minimize the need for your body to be overburdened and have those lymphatics, the lymphatic system, and your lungs, and your skin, and your digestive process, and kidneys, and bladder be overwhelmed.

Limit Environmental Toxins

Similarly, toxins in the environment that are really common that I see with my patients are things like the plugins, the air fresheners, those are just spewing all sorts of fragrances and phthalates that are highly toxic. So, you want to be aware of things that you’re using to clean your house and what you might be using to make your house smell fresh. From candles to scented plugins, even perfumes that we use on our body. These are all things to be aware of. Same thing in the car.

I love to recommend that folks clean up their air via air filtration processes and include that in the car, because a lot of times you spend driving in the car, and if you’ve got a plugin or one of those things hanging, the air fresheners, hanging from the window, it just overwhelms the body.

---

Get Your Sweat On

Now, the other aspect to supporting a detox is getting out and being physical. So, the act of being physical and sweating invigorates your lymphatic system. This is what gets the process moving where we are detoxing and ridding the body and aiding the process of the lymphatic system to get rid of toxins.

So, sweat is powerful in any type of detox program, and often we will see folks accelerate the whole sweat process through infrared saunas or sauna and heat therapy. But being physical is a great way to invigorate that whole process. That also, being physical, will get the bowels moving. So, that’s very positive. And you will also increase the excretion via a void, which we consider a urination. So, physical activity is great for that.

Make Deep Sleep a Priority

And then one that a lot of folks don’t consider to be part of a detox process is to get ample adequate amount of sleep every night. Ideally, seven to nine hours is the kind of sweet spot for sleep, depending on each person and your schedule. But you want deep, long-term, uninterrupted sleep. And the reason here is that more recently in the last seven years, we discovered that there is a lymphatic process in the head and in the brain.

That lymphatic process is called the glymphatic system. And we have little cells, brain cells, that are kind of the housekeepers of our brain. They’re called the glial cells. And we know through research and study of this whole process, the glial cells only operate when we sleep and we sleep optimally.

And the glial cells remove toxic debris from our brain. They get rid of brain-based inflammation. They help clear out toxicity in our brain. And that’s really powerful because one of the most important things we want to do is keep our brain healthy, and supple, and optimized, and functional, and sleep helps the brain detoxify itself.

Consider a Cleanse

And then, last and final, is to consider doing a cleanse. This is a more targeted, more specific approach to detoxing your body. Sometimes there are kits and packages where you can have a detox for two weeks or four weeks. So, others will do certain extended fastings for detoxing. But I recommend our detox kit here. And this is comprised of two different elements that are going to target all of the detox organs and systems.

So, we have our Cleanse and our Detoxx product, and they together work to function and power up all of your detox organs. And this is really important because you want to support and cleanse the kidneys and the bladder. You want to support and detox the digestive process, your colon. You want to support and detox your lymphatic system. And through our Cleanse and Detoxx product, those two together are really gentle but super powerful, full comprehensive product and plan for you to detox your body.

So, I really want to highlight… This is the other thing, a lot of times people think detoxes mean they’re going to be stuck or attached to the bathroom because there’s a major evacuation happening. That is not an ideal detox. And in fact, those tend to be what get people into, they get them into trouble where they either get dehydrated or they’re losing minerals and really key micronutrients too quickly.

Organixx’s Cleanse & Detoxx Kit

I’m really excited to share with you our Detox and our Cleanse products because they’re gentle. You can take them every day, you can take them long-term, but every day and every way you do want to make sure you’re hydrating well, you’re eating clean food, you eliminate your toxin exposure, you really get physical, you enhance your sleep, and then add in our Cleanse and Detoxx on a daily basis and you will be humming with a low-tox lifestyle and really supporting your body in helping minimize all these things that are bombarding it and lowering and weakening your immune system and just aging your process, aging your body process. So, I’m really excited to share with you our Cleanse and Detoxx products and some tips on how you can detox your body in the most healthy and gentle ways.

Organixx Cleanse & Detoxx is a two-step formula that provides a gentle yet powerful full-body detox using organic botanical ingredients.

Video Transcript:

So friends, I have a question for you. Are you supporting your key detox organs on a daily basis? And if you’re wondering, what are those detox organs, I’m going to break them down. But I just want to highlight one of the most important things. And actually, this is one of the core reasons I got into my work as a naturopathic physician, is to really help patients promote and open up the detoxification process that keeps us healthy, that keeps our immune system stabilized, and helps minimize the inflammatory state in the body that tends to be an underlying current, underlying precursor to illness and disease.

What Are Our Detox Organs?

So, there are five, kind of, categories of detox organs, and the last one is the most important one, I’m very excited to share with you. Probably you might not know about the system, but let’s start off with the most obvious.

Digestive Process: Lower and Upper GI

Number one is our digestive process. And that really begins in the mouth and ends in the anus and everything in between – from the mouth, the chewing of food, the stomach, the process of reaching pH level to digest our food in the stomach to the transition of food into the duodenum and transitioning into both the small intestine having influence with the liver – so, the liver’s a part of that whole process in producing bile and getting rid of toxins and debris – to the large intestine, or what we call the colon, and then out the rectum.

So, bowel movements are going to often be a discussion, and I actually get very specific with patients, because if this core detox process, these detox organs – liver, small intestine, and large intestine – are not functioning optimally… (and in that grouping, we also include the pancreas and the gallbladder. They all go in that space)… if they’re not processing properly or working to optimal state, then we’re going to be experiencing constipation, gas, bloating, digestive irritability, sometimes IBS, food sensitivities. So, there’s a whole array of folks that are going to experience signs of a poorly functioning detox process within that digestive process.

Now, upper GI as well, sometimes that process is limited because there’s GERD or there’s gastric issues or slow gastric emptying, meaning the stomach is holding contents for too long and it’s not emptying well. And that sets up the whole ladder chain to be a digestive mess. All of those areas of process need to be addressed.

And in general, before we begin any type of detox – when I say “detox,” because we’re detoxing every day, and so a lot of times people will say, “I want to do a detox” and we think that means you’re going to take a pill and all of a sudden you’re going to be glued to the toilet and clear your schedule and it’s chaos. But really, all of these organs are functioning every day, every minute, every second in detoxing out an assortment of toxins.

---

---

Elimination Routes Need to Be Open and Clear

So, it becomes really important that we look at elimination routes, meaning this digestive process, making sure we’re not constipated is the beginning of opening up those routes and really important to zero in on. You should be at least eliminating… If we’re going to do any type of significant detox, you want to have these routes of elimination open and clear, meaning you want to have at least one or two bowel movements a day for us, then, to go deeper. And a lot of people don’t do that and they have problems. And so that’s really important. So number one, your digestive process.

Kidneys and Bladder Clear Out Liquid Waste

Number two, coinciding with that are going to be two key organs. Your kidneys and your bladder. The kidneys, we have two. In some patients, they actually only have one. It’s totally okay. You can function on one, but the kidneys and the bladder collectively are detoxing out liquid waste. And there’s certain chemicals and toxins that are only going to be eliminated and excreted through the kidneys and out the bladder.

So, individuals that maybe have a history of cysts on their kidneys, kidney stones – that’s a big one – or even frequent bladder infections, UTIs, are going to be a sign that that detox process, those detox organs, kidneys and bladder, are not at their optimal state. And even individuals that get diagnosed with interstitial cystitis, that’s a unique term for, basically, the internal and external mucosal lining of the bladder, it’s inflamed. And in many cases, when it’s cultured, there’s even evidence of E. coli and other bacteria that are not supposed to be in that bladder that we get that exposure and the body’s reacting to them. So, kidney and bladder, those are also detox organs that need to be optimized.

Skin is a (Large) Secondary Detox Organ

Now the third that we sometimes understand via sweat, it’s skin. Skin is a detox organ. And when we are registering skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, rashes, hives, and irritations of the skin, sometimes acne, that is a sign that those first two detox organ processes – the digestive process and the kidney bladder connection – those organs, those routes of elimination are not optimized, they’re not open.

So, skin is a secondary detox organ, but a really key one because it covers our whole entire body. So, skin conditions can really, really benefit from detoxing and focusing in on system one, your detox process, your digestive process, and two, the kidneys and the bladder.

Lungs Are a Secondary Detox Organ

Now the fourth area, fourth organ, that’s in that secondary elimination process, are your lungs. So, individuals that have COPD or asthma or emphysema, maybe there’s been damage from chemical exposure or toxins like mold exposure or repeated infant in early-childhood or adult-based pneumonia or bronchitis. We have scarring and things like that. Mucosal lining might be disrupted. Or we might be dealing with candida that is up in… All sorts of things. Candida, I’ve even had patients that get diagnosed with MRSA, but there can be re-inoculation from the sinus cavity into the bronchial and the lung passageway.

When lungs are going to be compromised, that will be often a situation of asthma, COPD, emphysema, or extensive allergies. Allergic reactions where there’s a lot of sneezing, coughing. Or you’re more prone to bronchitis or the development of sinus infections with a cold or flu. And the lungs, again, when we want to clear the lungs and we want to look at going back to the first three – the whole entire digestive process, clearing that out, opening that up, liver, small intestine and the large intestine, the colon, kidney, and bladder. So, kidneys and bladder have to be open and clear. Similarly, skin. We want the skin to be open and clear as well.

The Under-Acknowledged Detox Organ

And the fifth most important system, to be honest with you, friends, is a really, really under-assessed, undereducated, and under-acknowledged body system. And it’s called your lymphatic system. And this is one of my core areas of expertise. I have extensive training, post-doctoral training. I have credentialing in supporting lymphatic patients as well as disorders that are related to lymphatic impairment, and a whole assortment of post-surgical work because the lymphatics, when we have organ or glandular, what I call “amputation,” we’re removing those, there are lymph nodes and lymphatic elements that get involved in that.

Your lymphatic system is one of your largest detox organs and it’s responsible for detoxing every organ, every gland, every soft tissue, every part of your body. It is connected to helping clear out cellular debris, toxin debris, pathogenic debris, cancer cells, fat cells, protein excess. It is detoxing out a lot of things.

And one of the most critical things to understand about the size of this system is it is as… The biggest part of the system is as thick as my little pen tip. Pen tip. That is not a big system. And so, if you frequently find that you swell, you maybe are holding excess fluid, meaning kind of gain water weight and it could be hormonal for some women. It can be also related to food. You might be more sensitive to alcohol or salty foods or even sugary foods.

Your lymphatic system is a really important system to zero in on daily support. And I’ve highlighted this a little bit here with Organixx. I also have masterclasses and a whole… I think there’s a 50- or 55-video playlist on YouTube where I really do deep dives into how to support your lymphatic system. But overall, if you want to detox your body, the key detox organs that you need to zero in on, there’s five core systems.

Importance of Daily Support for Detox Organs

You want to zero in on digestive process, particularly the stomach, the liver, the pancreas, the gallbladder, your small intestine, your large intestine, your kidneys, your bladder, your skin, your lungs, and your lymphatics. I know that probably sounds like a lot, but it is so critical that you understand what it really means to detox and that every day in every way, your body systems are actively supporting the detoxification process.

And I will be breaking down in additional videos here more ways to understand what type of toxins we’re dealing with and how to eliminate that burden. But just know one of the amazing things we have here that we offer all of our customers and our consumers of our amazing products here at Organixx is we have a whole sequence of amazing daily detox, lymphatic-supportive kidney, liver, and bladder-supportive supplementation.

So, our Colon and Lymphatic detox and our Liver and Kidney cleanse are so amazing to pair up, to really enhance all of those systems. There’s so many different benefits in the ingredients in these, but really importantly, that’s the question I have for you today. Are you supporting your key detox organs? And if you’re potentially asking yourself, “Hmmm… am I supporting these?” Then it’s definitely important to consider a daily supportive to really help move all of those systems.

Your body will have a life-changing experience where you feel better, your body’s moving better, your lymphatic system’s moving better. You’re really eliminating a lot of the toxins and the debris from active, everyday life. We have cellular toxicity and it helps to minimize inflammatory response. And consider adding our supportive supplements to your daily regimen in helping your body detox and promote those detoxification pathways.

Organixx Cleanse & Detoxx is a two-step formula that provides a gentle yet powerful full-body detox using organic botanical ingredients. Naturally purge your body of toxins, chemicals, free radicals, heavy metals, waste, as well as bacteria, and pesticides. Easily cleanse your colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, and lymphatic system resulting in increased energy, and better digestion with more nutrient absorption, in addition to improved immunity, mental clarity, and overall health and wellbeing.

Video Transcript:

Today, I want to talk about one of the leading sources of men’s health angst, which is prostate imbalances, prostate inflammation, BPH, elevations in prostate testing, like PSAs, and even, potentially, biopsies that might have yielded a positive cancer diagnosis.

So overall, I want to share with you some ways to address prostate health, and specifically, I want to share with you, I actually have a guide that I have written for gentlemen, that is something you can grab, click on a link down below, which is my prostate fix guide. I also have a masterclass that’s available for all gentlemen to take to learn. It’s a deep-dive, a 60-minute deep-dive into understanding how to address prostate imbalances. So, let’s dig into some things that we need to address.

---

---

Prostate Anatomy

With any type of elevation in PSA marker, or a challenge with urine flow, or notice the frequency is there, or any type of irritation at the very end of urination, we’re dealing with an inflamed prostate gland. Now, what does that mean?

An inflamed prostate gland, essentially, is a combination of an accumulation of fluid, so we actually have kind of a swelling, if you will, in the gland and around the gland. In the middle of the gland is the urethra, the ureter. So, it’s like a donut, and in the middle is the process where we’re able to urinate. When that gland gets swollen, it swells on the outside, and it swells on the inside. So, that’s where we can get challenges with urine flow and imbalances throughout the day.

Is Excess Estrogen Causing Inflammation?

Now, the other thing that we’re dealing with in the prostate gland is that the prostate is highly receptive to excess estrogen. I talk more about this in my guide, and I’m digging further into it in my masterclass. But estrogen, for men, can be the leading source of inflammation. So, if we want to deal with estrogen accumulation in the male body, we need to do a few things. We need to lower overall inflammation in the body, and we do this through two ways. One, I love to supplement with Joint & Muscle Care (formerly Magi-Complexx capsules) for gentlemen. This is a very inflammation-reducing supplement. It’s a trio of herbals that are known to reduce inflammation in the body. They also help create the lymphatic process and the lymph flow that will clear a lot of inflammation in and around the prostate gland.

So turmeric, frankincense, and myrrh, these are very grounding. They’re very good for that lower pelvic region. This can help reduce some of the inflammation of that gland. So for gentlemen that may experience… what I see in a lot of my patients is a greater urination process at night. So generally, a gentleman will kind of get to bed, and then they go through two or three wake-ups where they have to urinate. But they’re not urinating fully, so they’re not emptying their bladder fully. Part of that is inflammatory. It’s also related to a particular stress hormone. That is something we’re going to address, too, but the Joint & Muscle Care (formerly Magi-Complexx) is something you could take at night. And so you could take it around dinner time. That’ll start to lower the inflammation levels and start to minimize that nighttime waking.

Support the Liver

Now, the second thing that we need to do is we need to address the liver. The liver is a key detox organ, and the liver is also important for estrogen metabolism. So supporting the liver by drinking dandelion tea or adding milk thistle liquid herbal drops to that dandelion tea mix is a very powerful way at detoxing the liver and supporting the estrogen metabolism, meaning the breakup of estrogens that’s going to eliminate through the bowel contents and move out through the colon and rectum. That’s really important. And so targeting the liver is a really important part of this whole inflammatory reduction process when it comes to prostate health.

Is Stress a Factor?

The third thing that we want to do is address stress. Stress management. And let’s talk about stress. It’s not so much like, “Oh. I’m thinking I’m stressed,” or … For a lot of my gentlemen, they’re retired, so they’re like, “I don’t have the work stress, but I have this physiological stressor.” We have an assortment of stressors. We can have chemical stressors. We can have environmental, like allergy, allergens, internal to the body, like food allergens, or external. We could be dealing with micro-toxins, mold exposure. We could be dealing with an overwhelm of heavy metal exposure from work environment or maybe lifestyle, like smokers or folks that were consuming tobacco.

We can also deal with the stressor hormone, which is called cortisol. Cortisol is a very inflammatory-related hormone that can cause a whole bunch of stress inside the body, and it ultimately leads to some of the inflammatory challenges the prostate gland experiences. So, stress management techniques, like meditation and yoga, are some of the most powerful, free, stress-reducing tools that you can use on a daily basis. For gentlemen, sometimes, also reducing stress might be exercising in a different way, so doing more of a cardiovascular-based exercise in a 30-minute window.

So, instead of working out for an hour or doing hardcore weights, the most impactful exercise would be 30 minutes. Maybe it’s getting on a rowing machine and doing rowing or swimming. Those are very powerful, full-body exercises that support cardiovascular health but minimize the cortisol production. So a lot of men who are working out and kind of really doing a lot of weight lifting and high impact, the HIIT exercises or CrossFit, sometimes, they’re triggering cortisol in a way that is negative to the prostate gland.

Mineral Deficiency Is Easily Fixed

Now, another thing that I like to address is adding a very powerful mineral that is often going to be in a deficient state in our body. And particularly in the male body, this mineral deficiency can lead to inflammatory conditions, not just in the prostate, but joints. You might notice gout or swelling in the feet and ankles, and you might also notice kind of holding fluid here in the midsection.

Magnesium is a really critical mineral for lowering the inflammatory levels in our body, and we have Magnesium 7. I love to recommend adding this powder, so you can break open the capsules. You can add this into a smoothie. You can add it into your tea or morning coffee. It’s really great to add in twice a day – in the morning and in the evening. That can be a powerful way to support your prostate gland.

So, these are some tips. If you’re interested in going even deeper into healing the prostate gland, addressing inflammation and these inflammatory markers, like an elevation in PSA levels, where maybe you’ve been diagnosed with prostate cancer that’s being monitored or are dealing with, maybe, a catheter on a daily basis, I’m going to invite you into taking my Prostate Fix masterclass. We’ll walk away, after 60 minutes of this impactful class, you’ll walk away with some immediate resources, tactics, tips, and even a companion guide to impact your prostate gland in a positive way.

Joint & Muscle Care is a revolutionary supplement that takes three of the strongest inflammation support agents in nature (frankincense, myrrh, and turmeric), and combines them in the same perfect union treasured by the ancients. Available in capsule form or as an essential oil blend called Magi-Complexx.

Want to maintain that positive mood, keep your energy levels high, and just feel GREAT every day? Achieve all of this and more with your next liver detox!

Why would detoxing the liver naturally have such a profound effect on your body, mind, energy level, and overall health? Read on to discover the reasons why.

What Does Your Liver Do for You Anyways?

There are so many functions that this oval-shaped, 3-pound bag of tissue performs in your body (some experts say over 400!) that it would take an entire book to describe them all.

In a nutshell, the liver plays a major role in both metabolism and natural detoxification. It breaks down nutrients from food into forms that can be used in the body naturally. It also stores these substances and supplies the cells with the specific nutrients that they may need at just the right time.

The liver is vital for the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and protein. In carb processing, it helps ensure that glucose levels stay balanced.

In the breakdown of proteins, liver cells help convert amino acids from food into substances that can be used as energy. And in fat metabolism, liver cells do basically the same thing – with the help of the gallbladder, it breaks down fat particles into energy.

The liver also has intricate relationships with several other organs. Blood that comes from the digestive system flows through certain areas of the liver bringing nutrients. The liver also works with the kidneys. Ammonia is a byproduct of the breakdown of proteins, carbs, and fats. Liver cells convert this potentially-toxic substance into urea, which is ammonia’s more benign form, which is then transported to the kidneys to be passed out of the body as urine.

And of course, the liver’s function is vitally connected to the gallbladder, which is a small organ located underneath the liver. The gallbladder’s main job is to produce the bile needed for the breakdown of fats.

Liver Health: Liver Function, Fatty Liver & Liver Cancer

Although we now know enough about the liver to understand that it is crucial for the health of the entire body, science is still learning about its connections to specific nutrients, mechanisms, and disease process.

For example, new research is now discovering the link between magnesium deficiency and liver cirrhosis (extensive scarring of the liver) as well as magnesium deficiency and fatty liver disease.

Fatty liver disease, or Hepatic Steatosis, is a condition that is of special concern in this day and age. At one time, fatty liver disease was mostly connected to alcoholism. Over the last decade, however, the number of individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has grown exponentially.

NAFLD occurs when the liver is not able to metabolize fats efficiently. According to a 2015 analysis conducted by Thomas Jefferson University,

“there is a worldwide epidemic of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)…”

According to the American Liver Foundation, roughly 25% of the U.S. population is affected by NAFLD in some way.

Thomas Jefferson researchers call NAFLD a “clinical entity related to metabolic syndrome.” Conventional medicine often connects NAFLD to genetic predisposition as well as obesity and diabetes, although not everyone who is diagnosed with the condition needs to lose weight and/or is struggling with diabetes.

More forward-thinking researchers are now making the connection between NAFLD and environmental and pharmaceutical toxins. Chronic use of certain painkillers as well as the use of certain chemo drugs may be contributing factors for NAFLD.

In addition, a 2017 investigation published in the journal Nature: Scientific Reports made the definitive link between NAFLD and the consumption of GMO foods, especially those that have been sprayed with even the smallest amounts of the pesticide Roundup.

If the connection between chemically produced toxins and NAFLD is correct, then it is no surprise that these chemicals continue to pervade every aspect of our lives. The incidence of not only NAFLD but also cirrhosis, liver damage/failure, and even cancer of the liver will continue to rise as well.
According to the American Cancer Society, the number of liver cancer deaths has increased by three percent every year since 2000. In recent years, over 41,000 Americans have been diagnosed annually with cancer of the liver.

Detox Your Liver, Detox Your Body

In this age of increased toxic load on all levels, including heavy metals, it is imperative that the liver be cleansed on a regular basis. According to both Chinese and Ayurvedic traditions, transitional points of the year (such as the weeks right before the winter and summer solstices) are great times for liver detoxification. 

Each of the cleanse modalities listed below can be utilized from one to three weeks. If you are fairly healthy, you should be able to support your liver in these ways while at the same time maintaining a regular schedule.

Although, it may be a good idea to focus on healing as much as possible by keeping extra activities to a minimum during the first few days as your body flushes out extra toxins buried deep within the organs.

Note: If one of your health goals is losing weight and you’ve been unsuccessful, it could be because your body is storing lots of toxins in fat cells. By supporting your main organ of detoxification, you can often give your weight loss efforts a helping hand.

One additional important note. If you have been diagnosed with NAFLD or any other health condition, it would be wise to consult with your health practitioner prior to embarking on any detox diets or other kinds of concentrated cleanses.

#1: Use Gentle Herbals.

Certain herbs can have a profoundly strengthening effect on the liver. Three such herbs that have been used for centuries are milk thistle, dandelion root, and Holy Basil.

Organic dandelion root and Holy Basil can often be found at health food stores in the form of dietary supplements (or in your own backyard). Milk thistle is often sold in supplement form and can be a great boost for the immune system, as well.

#2: Coffee Enema.

Enemas have been used for centuries by Ayurvedic practitioners and some of today’s top natural health experts say that regular coffee enemas are a “must” for a toxic world.

Administering an enema with organic, pesticide-free coffee can be an instant energy-lifter, and here’s why: blood runs through the liver every three minutes.

Retaining coffee in the bowels for just 15 minutes allows it to seep through the intestinal wall and into the “portal vein” of the liver, where it will stimulate the gallbladder.

Coffee also provides the body with the phytochemicals kahweol and cafestol, which can lower inflammation, activate glutathione production, and encourage cellular detoxification. Coffee enemas have also been shown to stimulate apoptosis, or cancer cell death, in some studies.

#3: Try a liver-cleansing “shot.”

It’s not an injection nor does it have anything to do with tequila (except that you might want to do this the morning after you’ve had “one too many”). A liver-cleansing shot is simple to put together and fairly easy to “down.”

Just combine, in a high-speed blender, one whole organic lemon, cut into pieces (rind and all), 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of cayenne in 6 ounces of pure water.

Blend at high speed until thoroughly mixed. Then strain and drink. You can also sip this infusion throughout the day for a gentler cleanse; just make sure to wait at least an hour before eating.

As a side note, citrus fruits in general are excellent for liver health. Just be sure if you’re consuming any rind that it’s from washed, organic fruit.

#4: Don’t forget the gallbladder.

The liver-cleansing “shot” mentioned above is great for the gallbladder, too, which is a good thing. In order to really cleanse the liver, you also must take the health of the gallbladder into consideration.

To help your gallbladder prevent painful gallstones, stay away from trans fats and processed foods, and make sure to drink plenty of water. For tasty alternatives to plain water, try our detox water recipes.

7 Ways to Keep Your Liver Happy

Now that you know what to do for a deep liver detox, you can help keep this vital detoxification pathway running smoothly all year long by adding these simple tips and tricks to your everyday routine:

1. Get sufficient amounts of vitamins K, D, A, B12, B6, and C, as well as magnesium.
2. Drink half your weight in ounces of pure, fresh, filtered water daily (e.g. a 150-lb person would drink 75 oz of water). If you have trouble reaching this number you can also count herbal tea, green tea, and the liquids found in foods such as soup towards your total.
3. Go easy on your digestive system by limiting grains and red meat and eat lots of fresh leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables which support liver health.
4. Move your body in a way you enjoy; four times per week for a minimum of 30 minutes is ideal.
5. Practice stress management techniques such as yoga, meditation, journaling, strolling in nature, skin brushing, soothing baths, and self-massage. Put one of these activities on your to-do list every day!
6. Take care of yourself emotionally through journaling, talking to a friend or counselor, or practicing the Emotional Freedom Technique. Holding on to negative emotions, especially trauma, can add to your toxic load.
7. Consider going on a deeper cleanse whenever you consistently feel fatigued, tired, bloated, constipated, confused, achy, depressed, anxious, or generally “out of sorts”; these are all signs of toxic overload.

Treat your liver with love, live a healthy lifestyle that supports and strengthens it, and give it some time to deeply clean out the large amounts of toxins we’re exposed to in our modern world every once in a while. Then your liver can do what it is meant to do – help YOU stay vibrant, healthy, and strong!
