Detoxification
Evidence-based approaches to support your body's natural detoxification systems
Understanding True Detoxification
While "detox" has become a buzzword in the wellness industry, true detoxification is about supporting your body's natural processes for eliminating toxins and waste products.
Your liver, kidneys, digestive system, skin, and lungs all play crucial roles in detoxification. The key is to support these organs with evidence-based approaches rather than quick-fix solutions.

Liver
The Primary Detoxifier
Your liver processes everything you consume, breaking down toxins into less harmful substances that can be eliminated. It filters blood, produces bile for digestion, and metabolizes medications.
Kidneys
The Filtration System
Your kidneys filter your blood, removing waste products, excess water, and toxins. They maintain the body's fluid balance and regulate important minerals like sodium and potassium.
Digestive System
The Elimination Pathway
Your digestive system processes food and eliminates waste products. The intestines host beneficial bacteria that help break down toxins and support immune function.
