Nutritional Cleanse and Cellular Detoxification can help mitigate the following:

• Hormonal imbalances
• Inflammation

Detoxification Process

The body’s natural process of detoxification helps to rid itself of toxins. Your sweat, digestion, urinary system, and the liver all play a role in how your body deals with everyday toxin exposure. When one system slows down or gets overburdened, the other systems jump in to pick up the slack. It’s a true team approach when toxin levels are manageable and no system is severely compromised.

Ongoing detoxification of our body and cells is critical in achieving optimal digestion and overall health. The liver is thought to be the quarterback of the detoxification process. It works to convert toxins into waste products, cleanses the blood, and metabolizes nutrients to provide the body with important proteins. Our body goes through a two-phase detoxification process. We think of it as phase 1, the bioformation phase, where we “bring the trash to the curb”, and phase 2, the conjugation phase, where “the trash gets picked up and removed completely”. While our liver is supposed to be constantly detoxifying, it often gets stagnant, considering stress, poor diet, nutrient deficiencies, and environmental toxins can throw these phases out of balance. Evaluating signs, symptoms, and in-depth testing can alert us that it’s time for a ‘spring cleaning’ in order to upregulate these two phases of detoxification.

The Detoxification Programs at Physio Logic are focused on supporting phase 1 and phase 2 of the detoxification process, based on your unique body system to provide adequate detoxification and achieve optimal health.

Here’s how we evaluate whether it’s time for a cellular detox:

• Comprehensive Blood work
• Questionnaires
• Comprehensive Gastrointestinal Stool Analysis
• Intestinal Permeability Testing

Most of us can remember back to elementary school science when we learned about the role of our digestive tract. We learned how it helps us digest our food so we can utilize those nutrients for energy. However, that’s hardly scratching the surface on how powerful and complex the gastrointestinal system is and why gut health is central to overall health.

“ALL DISEASE BEGINS IN THE GUT.” -HIPPOCRATES

This is especially true when it comes to the potential of our gut microbiome, also known as the gut flora. It is estimated that there are tens of trillions of different microorganisms in the gut, creating a unique blend of microorganisms in each and every individual. Research suggests that many health issues begin as imbalances in the digestive system. In order to help improve health, we have to get to the root of the problem, which often leads us back to resolving imbalances or issues in the digestive tract or gut microbiome. New research is also starting to show a strong connection between the gut and the brain, as well as the ability of the gut bacteria to influence neurotransmitter levels and inflammation in the body. Our diet can also trigger changes in the gut microbiome, for better or for worse. It’s important to determine which foods are best for your body’s digestive system, so you can be sure you’re not doing more harm than good. This means not only looking into food allergies and food sensitivities but also foods that generally create more inflammation in the body. Our goal is to help you get the most out of what you’re consuming, to best fuel and nourish your body.

Here’s how we evaluate gut health:

• Comprehensive Gastrointestinal Stool Analysis
• Breath Testing
• Intestinal Permeability Testing
• Bloodwork
• Questionnaires
