Why Detox?
Have you been considering a detox? There are many online resources with conflicting information on the pros and cons of detoxing, but we at BBCT are excited to present our clients with a 10 Day Detox by Metagenics! What comes along with that is the understanding of what a good detox is and how to tell if you need one.
There are a lot of philosophies regarding the healthy detox. Many people see these detoxes as a quick fix to lose weight/body fat, but that’s really not the point! Sure, weight loss may happen on a detox, however, there is more happening than just that. Our bodies already are equipped with detoxing organs, the main two being our kidneys and liver. These vital organs are working hard to get those toxins broken down and excreted in a healthy, natural way. But many times, these organs get backed up and the detox process gets interrupted. When this happens, many people start to see a decline in their overall health. Some people even hit major plateaus in their weight training goals. If this is happening to you, a detox like the Metagenics detox offered at BBCT can be a huge help.
In detoxing we see 3 phases:
Phase 1: Gathering of the toxins
Phase 2: Breaking down of the toxins
Phase 3: Excreting the toxins
Sometimes our systems can get backed up with toxins and we can’t do the last phase, which is not good at all! We need to excrete the toxins otherwise they will recycle into our systems, making them even more toxic and unhealthy.
In the 10 Day Detox by Metagenics, there are two main supplements that clear out those backed up channels and support the kidneys and liver. UltraClear Renew is a supplement powder, which you mix like a shake. The second supplement is AdvaClear. These capsules have vitamins that support the detox process. These are meant to SUPPORT the detox, so your diet (what you are eating) is still an important factor in the success of the detox. This is usually the sign of a healthy, effective detox program: are you supporting the body in the excretion process in tandem with a healthy diet and lifestyle? Then, the detox is most likely a good one. Doing a food elimination diet along with the detox can help reduce inflammation and flag any food sensitivities that you may not otherwise know about.
So, who needs to detox? Probably everyone. In fact, it is recommended to do a detox like Metagenics every 3-4 months. See if you are a candidate by taking the following survey. If you answer ‘yes’ to the following questions, then a detox may be what you need.
Do you typically…
Have difficulty concentrating?
Have mood swings?
Lack energy?
Have trouble sleeping?
Feel tired?
Feel bloated?
Work/live around environmental pollutants?
Have occasional digestive discomfort?
If your answer is ‘yes’ to most of these questions, I would highly suggest doing a detox. This can really allow you to get those toxins out and improve some of the issues mentioned above! I personally did this detox and felt more clear-headed and less tired after doing it.
After taking the 10 Day Detox, we also recommend adding in the Clear Change box which has three supplements in it and UltraFlora Balance probiotic. These will continue helping support the detox process after the 10 days are over.
